"If it’s really the kind of elixir I’m thinking of," Mr. Sun said very seriously, "I think not to mention twenty, even one would be more precious than these ginseng and Ganoderma." "One pill might not cost as much as this box of medicinal materials, but in terms of health benefits, this box really can’t compare to one pill."
"Kid, stop dawdling, let us see what kind of incredible elixir this is."
"Yeah, don’t keep us hanging, let us also broaden our horizons."
"Exactly, what’s the use of just talking?"
"Alright, then let me show you." Yang Yu opened the medicine box, and a fragrant medicinal aroma instantly wafted out from the box.
The people who smelled the aroma instantly felt as if they had been enlightened, as if their spirits had been cleansed, and they immediately felt refreshed.
If just smelling it has such a great effect, what would happen if one actually consumed this elixir?
Mr. Sun’s eyes instantly widened, his hands trembling. "Brother Yang, may I... may I take a look at one?"
"Of course!" Yang Yu casually took out an Earth Origin Pill and handed it to Mr. Sun. "Seeing how adorable you are, not at all like the fierce dogs around Young Master Li, I’ll give this Earth Origin Pill to you."
"It really is an Earth Origin Pill!" Mr. Sun regarded it as a treasure, his face filled with disbelief as he looked at Yang Yu. "Are you really giving it to me?"
"Truly." Yang Yu nodded. "I can make these pills myself, as many as I want."
"Thank you, thank you so much!" Mr. Sun was extremely grateful, nearly kneeling before Yang Yu.
Finding that his own brought doctor had become Yang Yu’s adoring follower, Young Master Li finally lost his patience. "Mr. Sun, it’s just a pill, isn’t it a bit exaggerated?"
"It is, it is," Mr. Sun said very seriously. "Young Master Li, you might not know, my father lived to be one hundred and five years old. The extra five years he lived were actually thanks to an Earth Origin Pill he found by chance."
"What? One pill can extend someone’s life by five years?"
Then wouldn’t this box offer one hundred years of life?"
"Oh, come on, isn’t that a bit outrageous?"
Everyone found it unbelievable and shook their heads repeatedly, expressing their disbelief.
"It’s not an exaggeration at all," Mr. Sun said. "The year my father was ninety-nine, he felt his end was near and was already lying in bed waiting to die. That was until he took an Earth Origin Pill, and he seemed to rejuvenate. For the next five years, his spirit was very strong, and he could walk without anyone’s assistance, ultimately passing away peacefully."
"I swear on the name of the Yanjing Sun Family that everything I’m saying is true. Of course, if you don’t believe me, you can ask anyone from the Sun Family, and they all know this story."
Seeing Mr. Sun speak with such certainty, the crowd began to discuss animatedly.
"The Yanjing Sun Family? Isn’t that the most renowned family of miraculous doctors in Xia Country?"
"This Mr. Sun is actually a member of the Yanjing Sun Family, then he must also be a miraculous doctor."
"Even a miraculous doctor says so, it must be mostly true."
"One pill can extend life by five years?" Not just others who were moved, even Mrs. Shen Sr., who disliked Yang Yu the most, couldn’t help but have her eyes shine, "Really?"
Seeing Mrs. Shen Sr.’s greedy appearance, Yang Yu felt an indescribable disgust.
However, considering she was Shen Silin’s grandmother, Yang Yu only scorned her in his mind while still keeping up appearances. "Yes, senior madame. Let me put it this way, if an elderly person takes one, they will rejuvenate by at least five years. If a middle-aged woman takes one, her menopause can be delayed by another ten years."
As soon as he said this, even more people became restless. "What about men?"
"After a man takes one, he could still become a father at seventy," Yang Yu said with a smile. "Everyone, do you still think that this box of my elixir is inferior to Young Master Li’s box of weeds?"
If Mr. Sun had been brought by Yang Yu, others definitely wouldn’t believe his words.
The problem was, Mr. Sun had been brought by Young Master Li.
Even the person brought by Young Master Li was supporting Yang Yu, then the elixir must be reliable.
Young Master Li could not hold back any longer and said to Yang Yu, "Yang Yu, you talk a good game. Can you prove the effects of this pill right here, right now?"
"Of course, let’s have Mr. Sun prove it!" Yang Yu was full of confidence. "Mr. Sun, do you dare to eat the medicine right here?"
"No problem." Mr. Sun immediately peeled off the wax coating around the elixir and the fragrance of the medicine immediately became even more intense.
"My heavens! This medicine is incredible!"
"Even without eating it, it makes one feel so exhilarated. Imagine if one were to actually take it..."
Everyone’s gaze turned toward Mr. Sun, watching intently as he swallowed the pill.
They were eager to see just how miraculous the Immortal Pill, which Mr. Sun himself had praised so highly, truly was.
Ten seconds passed, twenty seconds passed, thirty seconds passed, and there was still no change in Mr. Sun.
That wrinkled face was still full of wrinkles, and there was no noticeably significant change in his demeanor.
Young Master Li couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Honestly, the most unreliable people in the worldly society are the charlatans and traveling doctors. And to think that I was actually willing to believe you all, wasting so much time—it’s truly a sin. Mr. Sun, I’m beginning to doubt whether you can truly fulfill the role of my family’s private wellness doctor."
The others also agreed, "Exactly, what kind of Immortal Pill exists in this world? It’s probably just something blown out of proportion by people with ulterior motives."
"To try and trick us in such a setting, you almost had us fooled."
Mrs. Shen Sr. immediately turned against him, her face showing malice: "You rascal, take your trash medicine and get back from wherever you came from..."
"Everyone, look! Mr. Sun, Mr. Sun..." Suddenly someone shouted, and all eyes turned towards Mr. Sun, and one by one, they were stunned.
In about a minute, Mr. Sun’s fully white hair, as if affected by film special effects, turned half gray and continued to slowly change.
And Mr. Sun’s facial skin was also smoothing and becoming glossy at a rate visible to the naked eye, seemingly rejuvenating him by a decade or two!
"Am I seeing things? ...Ah! Why did you pinch me?"
"If you feel pain, it’s real. I’m not dreaming."
"This Earth Origin Pill is truly miraculous!"
"We were all wrong about Yang Yu just now!"
Young Master Li was stunned too, suddenly at a loss for words.
He had seen elixirs before, but he didn’t believe that someone as young as Yang Yu could actually produce them—nor did he believe that Yang Yu could produce twenty at once, as swiftly as making chocolate.
Such elixirs, aren’t each one supposed to be incredibly rare, and then sold at high prices at auctions? How did they become so commonplace in Yang Yu’s hands?
Young Master Li quickly regained his composure and thought to himself, "This kid has such powerful Alchemy Technique; if those old men in Yanjing who are so afraid of death get wind of this, they will certainly do everything they can to win him over. Therefore, he must die tonight!"
