Chapter 169 Everyone's Heading to the Northern Desert, the Ancestor's Treasured Treasure
Wei Mingchuan sat up straight and answered earnestly, "Uncle, what my father said in his letter is absolutely true."
Wen Yuanqian still wanted to dissuade him, "There's no need to go now, it's fine to wait a while?"
"Uncle, our family opened a shop there a few years ago. We sell small items to several surrounding countries. These items are transported from the south, which is not only a long distance but also costly."
After discussing it with my second uncle, my father decided to open a processing plant there. This would save on transportation costs and ensure timely supply to the market.
"While we're in the northern desert, we can research some new products. Once our Wei family opens up markets in other countries, we'll make a fortune and live a leisurely life as wealthy men."
Wei Mingchuan looked at everyone present and said with a smile, "We have many children in our family. In the future, everyone will be wealthy and powerful. Wouldn't that be even better? Uncle Wen, what do you say?"
Wei Mingchuan's words were tantamount to the Wei family's final decision.
The room fell silent instantly.
Wen Yuanqian knew that the Wei family's decision would not be easily changed, and that they were still implicated by the Wen family.
On the surface, this matter seems to be about the Wei family starting over in a new place, but there are many places to choose from within China, yet the Wei family chose the northern desert!
Who would believe that there was no intention to take care of the Wen family?
The Ye family is like this, and so is the Wei family; they're all heading towards the northern desert!
The Wen family members were all deeply moved.
No one spoke to break the silence, and even the children noticed the sudden quiet in the room.
The group stopped running and chasing each other, and started walking on tiptoe.
The two little girls were caught off guard.
Puff!
As luck would have it, he fell right at the feet of Wei Sanjiu and Wei Sijiu.
"Ouch, Uncle, look, did you hurt yourself?"
The two little girls scrambled to their feet, dusted themselves off, and giggled, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt! We're brave, hehehe..."
The little girl's laughter instantly broke the silence in the room.
Wen Yuanqian wiped away the tears in his eyes and said, "Mingchuan, go back and tell your father that the Wen family is deeply grateful for the Wei family's actions."
"Uncle, we're all family, there's no need for gratitude. I just wish you and your family a safe journey! We'll meet in the northern desert then, and I'll treat you to a good drink!"
"Alright, I accept your kind words!"
With the tone set, everyone raised their glasses and drank heartily, even though the cups contained tea.
After finishing discussing the serious matters, they started chatting idly about this and that.
Wenwen gave Ye Jingchuan a wink, and Ye Jingchuan seized the opportunity to interject.
"Brother Wei, I just heard that your father has caught a cold. Could you tell me more about it?"
After a previous conversation, the Wei family members already knew Ye Jingchuan's identity.
Being able to read between the lines and connect with Medicine King Valley is quite an achievement.
Wei Sange said somewhat embarrassedly, "My father was just feeling slightly unwell at first, but my fourth brother and I didn't take it seriously. We were rushing along the road, and then we spent the whole night in the wilderness during a heavy snowfall, so he fell ill."
Wei Sige said with even more shame, "My mother has been sick since giving birth to my brother and me. She has been weak all year round. She insisted on coming along, and she fell ill on the way."
"Fourth brother, where are Father and Mother resting now?" Madam Wei asked hurriedly upon hearing this.
"Xuanzhou Prefecture, my sister-in-law's family home."
Madam Yang quickly reassured her, "Yanzi, there are people taking care of you there, so don't worry."
Wei's eldest brother also comforted her, saying, "Yanzi, don't worry, Xiao Chuan is here for you!"
Ye Jingchuan!
With information so readily available yet so limited, how can a prescription be given without a face-to-face consultation?
If the medicine is not right for the condition and makes the patient worse, wouldn't that tarnish the reputation of our master?
No, no, he can't prescribe this medicine.
Ye Jingchuan hurriedly looked at Wenwen.
Wenwen had the same thought in her mind.
Without the proper diagnosis of illness (observation, listening, questioning, and palpation), one should not prescribe medicine. Even for minor illnesses, one should not take medicine haphazardly, as all medicines have some degree of toxicity. This principle applies universally.
However, there are solutions.
She had counterfeit "longevity pills" in her possession. These pills were graded, with first, second, and third generations.
The reason it's considered a pirated copy is because the prescription comes from the "Kaiyan Pharmacopoeia," and she just used it without permission.
The name given in the pharmacopoeia is: Longevity Pill.
The book clearly states that pills refined at the fourth level of Qi Refining are more effective.
Wenwen is only at the first level of Qi Refining now; for her to refine these pills is simply a pipe dream.
So she settled for second best and took out the medicinal herbs and prescription to study with Uncle Ye. During their spare time while they were away cultivating, they used ordinary methods to brew the pills according to the prescription. This is the origin of the first generation of "Longevity Pills".
Based on the first generation, they added some Star River Grass and went through several frying processes before obtaining an upgraded and more effective pill, which is the second generation "Longevity Pill".
The third and final pill was the only one that Wenwen painstakingly brewed in the space after processing each medicinal herb with spiritual power according to the method in the book.
This pill is clearly different from the previous first and second generation pills. Although it is not a real elixir, it is at least more mysterious than the pills in the mortal world.
When the medicine was completed, Aying, who was standing nearby, gave this comment: "In the cultivation world, this pill would be considered the worst of the worst, a waste of materials and utterly useless. However, in the mortal world, it is comparable to a divine medicine. Master, you must use it with utmost care."
Thinking of this, Wenwen pretended to flick her sleeves and secretly gestured the number "two" to Ye Jingchuan.
The older brothers nearby all understood what was happening and turned their faces away as if they hadn't seen it.
Ye Jingchuan gave her a knowing look.
“Well, Brother Wei San, Brother Wei Si, I have a general understanding of the two elders’ condition based on your description, but without taking their pulses, it’s difficult to prescribe this medicine. However, I do have a few health-preserving pills here. Why don’t you take them back and let the two elders try them?”
Before the others could speak, Ye Jingchuan emphasized, "This health-preserving pill was developed by my grandmaster; it's one of his most treasured possessions."
cough! cough!
Caught off guard, Wenwen and her brothers started coughing.
My goodness, this is the old lady's treasured possession!
They're still in the prime of their lives, how did they become old people?
Using the name of their grandmaster, are they tired of living?
The group glared angrily at Ye Jingchuan.
Ignoring their antics, Ye Jingchuan said to Wenwen, "Wen'er, go and get your uncle's medicine box."
"Okay." Wenwen got up and picked up the first-aid kit from the corner.
Ye Jingchuan opened the medicine box, took out two bottles of pills, and gave one to Brother Wei and the other to Brother Wei.
"There are three pills in the bottle. One pill each for the two elders is enough. Keep the rest for emergencies. I will show them to the two elders when I have the opportunity in the future."
"Okay, okay, thank you for your trouble, Xiao Chuan!"
The Wei brothers gripped the medicine bottles tightly in their hands, thanking the doctor repeatedly with great emotion.
Are you kidding? The health-preserving pills that the patriarch of Medicine King Valley kept hidden away were worth a thousand gold pieces each, and now their family had six of them. How much gold is that? How much gold? Hmm?
In a moment of impulsiveness, the Wei brothers blurted out, "Uncle, how about I provide all of your exile teams with horse-drawn carriages? How many do you think would be appropriate for each family?"
