Chapter 2745 — Everyone Is Brainstorming

After a while, Leader Bai arrived. Wei Zhao had long since discussed Wang Xinyan's matter with Leader Bai, and Leader Bai had all along been studying Wang Xinyan's problem, so when Kang Jinglong came to him, he knew at once what this was about. He gave Kang Jinglong a rough explanation: "There's nothing wrong with this prescription. Wei Zhao showed it to me a few days ago as well. The effects are not great, but that does not mean the prescription is bad—rather, these medicines are simply too common and ordinary. For ordinary illnesses, these common herbs should pose no problem, but Wang Xinyan's frail constitution has existed since childhood. These medicines simply cannot replenish the physical strength she loses every day within her body, and that is the reason her body grows weaker and weaker."
"Then why was she fine before? Why did she become like this only after going to Wei Zhao's house?" Kang Jinglong was no fool and asked suspiciously.
Leader Bai smiled wryly, thinking to himself that Kang Jinglong was indeed no idiot. But he had long since agreed on a strategy with Wei Zhao: "When Wang Xinyan was small, she was frail, and her father took her everywhere seeking medical treatment. He encountered a wandering expert who gave her father some herbs—and seemingly a very rare spirit medicine as well. That was why Wang Xinyan had no trouble all these years. But now it seems the medicinal properties of those herbs and that spirit medicine have worn off, and so Wang Xinyan's problem has surfaced."
"So that's how it was!" Kang Jinglong did not doubt that Leader Bai would lie to him—after all, he did not even need to ask Wang Xuben about these things; a quick word with Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben should confirm it, and he could verify it in a moment. So he said, "What were the herbs and spirit medicine that wandering expert gave? Is there a prescription?"
"That I do not know. According to Wang Xinyan herself, there is none. However, I have been consulting ancient texts these past few days and have compounded a prescription that should be somewhat more effective than Wei Zhao's..." As he spoke, Leader Bai produced a prescription.
Kang Jinglong hurriedly took it and shot Wei Zhao a look of contempt. "See? I told you your prescription was no good. Teacher Bai is Teacher Bai for a reason—you, his student, are definitely no match."
Wei Zhao smiled noncommittally. He was in no mood to argue with Kang Jinglong at the moment. Leader Bai, however, smiled slightly and said, "Wei Zhao's prescription is already quite good. Mine is somewhat stronger, but it uses rather rare heavenly treasures and earthly rarities that ordinary pharmacies do not sell. Kang Jinglong, isn't your younger brother an elder of the Xuandan Sect? Then ask him whether he has any of these."
Although ordinary people did not know that Kang Jingming had become the Eighth Elder of the Xuandan Sect, the news had already spread among the ancient layer and the hidden layer. Leader Bai, as the former sect master of the Five Luminaries Sect, had naturally received word as well.
"That... of course there's no problem!" Kang Jinglong took the prescription, hesitated a moment, and then agreed.
