Chapter 25 — He Ling Su
Lu Sheng pulled off the mask and directly poured all the medicinal soup inside the flask into his mouth.
The soup went down the throat and into the stomach.
Lu Sheng did not even taste it.
He stood still and waited for a few seconds.
He felt a hot stream coming out of his body, and in a few breaths it went throughout his body.
Every inch of muscle cell in Lu Sheng’s body was greedily absorbing the heat flow.
It was like an arid field suddenly being watered, or a sponge that had been exposed to the sun being thrown into water …
Lu Sheng’s body steamed up a trace of white gas, his BQV surged, and his whole person was filled with the feeling of being full.
Ten minutes later, this feeling gradually weakened and eventually disappeared.
Lu Sheng’s eyes stared brightly at the flask in his hand.
He knew that he had succeeded.
The effect of Spiritual Muscle and Blood Strengthening Decoction was even better than he expected, almost more than ten times that of the Blood Nourishing tonic he had taken before.
And it cost twice lesser than the Blood Nourishing potion.
Lu Sheng also felt that his muscles had become slightly tougher and firmer. This was as stated in the prescription.
Since Spiritual Muscle and Blood Strengthening Decoction was called what it was, it naturally had more than just one effect of strengthening blood.
While strengthening blood, it could also increase the density of skin on the person who ingested it. Reduce pores, whiten and moisturize the skin, etc. and other additional effects.
“This futuristic supplement sure is good. More than 10,000 years of wisdom crystallized, just a bit of that knowledge is enough to shake the foundations off the modern science!”
Lu Sheng couldn’t help but sigh.
He had yet to fully digest the Decoction, the remnant effects still remaining in his body. He’d have to go through the Stellar Body Refining Technique to employ all of it.
Of course, he couldn’t do it now. The most important task was to blend the herbs quickly.
With one successful experience, Lu Sheng’s subsequent mixing went exceptionally smooth.
Lu Sheng opened the door, his face expressionless.
“Didn’t you say you won’t disturb me while I was in?”
“My boss will be back soon, come out quickly!”
The youth at the door had a nervous expression on his face, as he kept urging.
Lu Sheng looked astonished and did not speak. He quickly cleaned up the blending room, took the decoction, and walked out of the room.
Although it was much earlier than the agreed upon time, but the good thing was that he had successfully made twelve portions of the Spiritual Muscle and Blood Strengthening Decoction.
Lu Sheng gave the youth another 200 yuan, and then left the pharmacy.
Before he left, the youth had given his number to Lu Sheng and asked to give him a call if he wanted to use the services next time as well. It seemed that he intended to develop a long-standing business relationship with Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng was carrying twelve portions of the of soup, but his footsteps were smooth and swift.
With the supplement now in hand, he wanted to quickly focus on cultivation and improving himself.
He Ling Su dragged her tired body out of the car.
He Ling Su was only twenty years old, with a delicate figure and a soft face. She should have been at the age to enjoy life to the fullest like a flower, but she took up the family responsibility early on in life.
The He family pharmaceutical was one of rich heritage and did it for a living for several generations. The ancestor of the He’s was once counted as one of the five famous master pharmacists in Baihe city. But after the store got passed down to her father’s generation, the business fell.
During He Ling Su’s grandfather’s generation, the He family was still prosperous with branches of Xingshan Tang spanning across several provinces, adding up over one hundred pharmaceutical stores to their name.
Now only two stores in the Baihe city remained lingering.
“Martial arts is developing rapidly, and so is the medicine industry which is intrinsically related to the martial arts cultivation. It undergoes changes and improves every single day with old methods and science being purged and eliminated.
“The reason for the decline of my He family is that our concept is too conservative and old-fashioned, sticking to the old rules, not thinking about progress …
“I do not dare think about it. A hundred years ago, when the martial arts potions were prevalent even when they couldn’t afford them even after spending their monthly income on a Blood Nourishing Pill.
“The only way to save my family’s current predicament is to push the boundaries and introduce something new.”
He Ling Su has been doing the same thing.
During this period of time, she had been looking everywhere for a new supplementary potion to use as a signature to save the He family’s business.
But half a year had gone by with little success to her name.
Yesterday, she heard that an old pharmacist in the next city had developed a new tonic, so she rushed over there post-haste.
As a result, halfway to the car, she received a phone call from the other side, telling her not to come, and that they had already found a good partner.
He Ling Su returned empty-handed.
“Miss He, you’re back …”
As soon as she entered, the youth in white coat immediately took the initiative to greet her.
He Ling Su was bored and didn’t have time to pay attention to the other party, so she just nodded coldly.
She had taken over the pharmacy for a while now, and naturally knew exactly how the storekeepers behaved in private.
The storekeeper named Ma Fei was lazy, liked to idle at work, he sometimes stole from the store’s potions and medicines to bootleg. She had warned him several times but he refused to change.
If not for the fact that she hadn’t found a replacement for him, she would just straight ask him to leave.
“So beautiful, if only she could be my girlfriend …”
Ma Fei kept his eyes on He Ling Su’s back until her back completely disappeared from sight before he turned back.
He Ling Su has always been the goddess of Ma Fei’s dreams.
The reason Ma Fei stayed at Xingshang Tang and refused to leave was because he fantasized that it would be nice to be seen in earnest by He Ling Su one day.
Although the pharmacy did not have good business, but even a malnourished camel was bigger than a horse. He also counted both his love and career to be satisfactory, both on the path to the peak of life.
Although the chances of this happening were much smaller than the chances of winning the lottery, what if it did?
It’s hard to discern the tastes of rich ladies.
Don’t all urban themed web novels have a similar plot and protagonist …
Ma Fei was lying on the counter imagining himself to be the protagonist when He Ling Su’s figure appeared before his eyes.
Ma Fei stood up with a jolt, and quickly wiped off the saliva drooling out the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.
Her face was like a block of cold ice, her face incomparably gloomy.
“Did you secretly bring someone into my potion blending room?!”
