Chapter 768: Chapter 768 Incomplete Recipe_1

“How goes the progress of the Medicine King?”

Inside the Dragon Ascent Hall of Medicine King Valley.

A man dressed in black was looking at the Medicine King seated opposite him.

“I suspect there’s an issue with your formula.”

The Medicine King lightly stroked his beard, his brows furrowing slightly, “I have been attempting it for more than three years, improving it countless times, yet not once has it achieved, or even come close to, the effect you speak of.”

“Could there be some error somewhere?”

The man in black asked in a deep voice.

He was wearing a black windbreaker and a pair of black leather gloves.

His face, too, was veiled in black gauze.

“Impossible!”

The Medicine King waved his hand and said, “With over a thousand years of heritage in Medicine King Valley, no one can match us in the art of medicine making!

Pardon my bluntness, but are you certain that an elixir of immortality truly exists in this world?”

Immortality.

It was the dream of countless people.

Yet since the time before the Qin dynasty, when Emperor Qin Shi Huang sent people overseas in search of medicine, and emperors of subsequent generations took elixirs in their quest for immortality, not one person achieved longevity.

The thousand-year heritage of Medicine King Valley hadn’t been without its explorations.

But in the end, it was discovered.

Fate could not be defied.

Yet three years ago, this man in black, carrying a flawed and peculiar ancient formula, came to Medicine King Valley.

He claimed that if this medicine were successfully refined, one could achieve immortality.

All people feared death.

The Medicine King was no exception.

But after three years in seclusion, he had tirelessly tried to refine the original flawed formula!

Despite exhausting all his knowledge, he still achieved nothing!

Not even an enhancement of physical health was accomplished.

Just as the Medicine King was doubting the authenticity of this formula, a nearly three-hundred-year-old granny personally visited Medicine King Valley.

This undoubtedly excited the Medicine King!

Even if immortality was not achievable, extending one’s life was still a tremendous temptation.

You should know, not one person in Medicine King Valley, despite their daily health upkeep, had lived to be three hundred years old.

Yet this three-hundred-year-old woman could shatter stones with her staff!

As time ticked away, the Medicine King increasingly felt helpless.

“If not, why would the granny be three hundred years old and still strong and vigorous?

Medicine King, we don’t have much time left.”

The man in black sighed, “The granny hasn’t had the life-extending pill for decades, and her end is nearing…”

“I’ve done my best!”

The Medicine King blinked his eyes, speaking with a sense of helplessness, “Are you certain the formula you gave me is correct?”

“Aside from those substances that cannot be identified, everything written in the formula is medicine separated out by the granny herself, there’s absolutely no mistake.”

The man in black kept tapping on the table, “Has the human blood been delivered?”

“Ghost Valley sends it every three months, and I have been refining it continuously.

So far, it seems to have some effect.

But on the formula, there are still three missing substances; human blood is only one of them, the other two…”

The Medicine King took a deep breath and pulled out a small vial from his chest, “You can take this to Granny and see, this is the semi-finished product I’ve refined.

It seems…

to have no effect.”

“That’s fine!”

The man in black stored the pill away, “Granny is arranging things in Gonzalez City, so hasten your efforts here.

If you have any needs, speak freely.

I hope Medicine King Valley will not disappoint Granny.”

“Please don’t worry.”

The Medicine King stood up, clasping his fists in both hands, “I will do my utmost!”

“It’s getting late, I shall leave first.”

The man in black stood up, bowed deeply to the Medicine King, and then turned to leave.

“Heh heh!

Granny Xihua, you old undying thing, to think you’d even scheme against me!”

Once the man in black had left, the expression on the Medicine King’s face turned extremely somber.

“Senior brother.”

At this moment.

A man entered the Dragon Ascent Hall.

“Junior brother Dustin Rose, you’ve arrived at just the right time!”

The Medicine King took two pills from his chest and placed them on the table.

“Just now, that man…”

Dustin Rose looked at the distant figure, his eyes slightly complicated.

“Granny Xihua’s most trusted person, known as ‘Ghost’s Anxiety’—Devlin!” Medicine King snorted coldly.

“Granny Xihua really goes too far!

She actually fooled us with an incomplete recipe!”

“What do you mean by that?”

Dustin Rose sat on a chair, looking at Medicine King.

“Brother, didn’t Granny Xihua send someone with the recipe?

But it had three ingredients that we couldn’t confirm?”

Three years ago, when Granny Xihua first sent someone to Medicine King Valley to collaborate, Dustin Rose was also present.

Initially, Medicine King Valley didn’t believe it.

Because the materials on it were very strange and had nothing to do with prolonging life.

There were even substances like white sugar and red dates.

But it wasn’t until Granny Xihua came in person that Medicine King Valley started to study the recipe with gusto.

The Medicine King secluded himself, leading the elites of Medicine King Valley in sleepless nights of research.

Three years passed, and still, they had achieved nothing.

“Those three ingredients…

In fact, we were missing two!

Last year I claimed I would give up, and Granny Xihua immediately sent someone with human blood.

After adding it, the effect was significant.”

At this point, Medicine King smiled proudly.

“Relying on the years of legacy of Medicine King Valley and countless trials, I’ve discovered the second ingredient!”

“So that means…”

Dustin Rose looked excited.

“Right!

Only the third one is left!

But we’ve already seen effects.”

Medicine King picked up a pill, passing it to Dustin Rose.

“You can take one and try.”

“Thank you, Brother!”

Dustin Rose excitedly took the pill and quickly put it in his mouth.

After a moment, his eyes revealed joy.

“Brother, I feel full of strength in my body!”

“Good!

Although the effect isn’t too prominent, we have finally made some progress,” Medicine King said, smiling as he looked toward the entrance of the hall.

“Devlin’s visit this time to probe probably means Granny Xihua is getting anxious.

If…

if we can trick her out of the last ingredient.”

“Could Granny Xihua…”

“No!”

Medicine King interrupted Dustin Rose with great confidence.

“Such a pill is extremely difficult to refine, requiring precise accuracy!

Who in the world besides Medicine King Valley can produce them?”

“But…”

Dustin Rose raised an eyebrow, asking softly, “If that’s the case, what about the pills Granny Xihua took before…”

“This…”

Medicine King was stunned.

“It’s time for them to come in; make the arrangements,” he said, looking awkwardly at the clock on the wall.

“Understood!”

Dustin Rose turned around, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Life-prolonging pills?

It looks like someone else might be taking the position of Medicine King.

After Dustin Rose left, Medicine King sat in the chair, lost in thought.

Where had the pills that Granny Xihua previously taken been made?

…

“By order of Medicine King, please come to the Dragon Ascension Hall to receive his generosity!”

With one high shout, those waiting outside of Medicine King Valley were abuzz with excitement.

Julius Reed and others also got up to head toward Medicine King Valley.

But the moment they entered, a black-clad man brushed past them.

“Seems familiar?”

He stopped, watching the retreating figure of the black-clad man, feeling that he had seen him somewhere before.

“Brother Davenport, everyone who comes to Medicine King Valley must bring a gift for the Medicine King.

Completely empty-handed like us isn’t quite right,” Karen said beside him, giggling.

Too thrilling!

After ten years!

He’s come back once again!

To stir up trouble!

“Terry Moore.”

Julius Reed stood inside Medicine King Valley, pointing at a distant copper bell, “Take that down, we’ll present it as a gift to the Medicine King later!”
