Playboy: Medical and Martial Master-Chapter 66: Alchemy by Myself!
Looking at the beautiful young woman in front of him, her pretty face blushing, Sun Zhe couldn’t help but imagine what she would look like in a wedding dress.
Just thinking about it is thrilling!
However, just as Sun Zhe was about to agree, he suddenly felt a sharp, unexpected pain deep in his lower abdomen.
He frowned slightly, realizing he needed to promptly digest the Yin Essence he had absorbed today. He said, "Sister Yu Shu, I’ve actually reached my limit for today. How about we do this next time?"
"Is that so..."
Jiang Yushu pouted her luscious lips, looking somewhat unhappy.
Sun Zhe reached out to tuck a stray lock of her hair behind her ear and asked, "If my body breaks down, what will you do then?"
"That’s true."
Jiang Yushu chuckled softly and said coquettishly, "Alright then, I’ll let you off for today."
Feeling like he had just received a pardon, Sun Zhe said, "By the way, Sister Yu Shu, could you find me a room? I’d like to rest. Brewing the medicine will take another two hours; I’ll just set an alarm."
Jiang Yushu remembered how Sun Zhe had been tirelessly exerting himself all morning. He did seem quite exhausted, so she led him to a guest room on the second floor.
Her own room was a mess, with the sheets almost entirely soaked, making it impossible to sleep there.
"Rest well, darling. I’m going to the study on the first floor to handle some work."
"Alright."
After Jiang Yushu left, Sun Zhe locked the door, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began his cultivation.
Over the entire morning, he had absorbed a significant amount of Yin Essence from Jiang Yushu and Li Zhishan. Once digested, it transformed into pure True Qi that merged with his Qi Vortex, making it even more solid and substantial.
...
Time passed slowly.
About an hour and a half later, Sun Zhe finished his cultivation.
He opened his eyes and let out a long, turbid breath.
Feeling the changes within his body, he was overjoyed and muttered to himself with a smile, It seems that if I take one more Qi Passage Pill, I should be able to reach the Golden Core Stage.
Come to think of it, I have today’s ’group exercise’ to thank for this.
Following that, Sun Zhe rolled out of bed and stretched his limbs.
He now felt an endless supply of energy coursing through his body, and the exhaustion from the morning’s activities had completely vanished.
The medicine should be almost ready. I’ll go down and check on it.
...
In the living room.
Jiang Yushu sat on the sofa, her fine eyebrows knitted tightly as she watched Sun Zhe pour a black medicinal brew from the pressure cooker.
The intense medicinal aroma alone was enough to make her dizzy; she dared not imagine what it would taste like.
Sun Zhe put down the pressure cooker and said, "Sister Yu Shu, I’ve already portioned out the other medicinal ingredients. You can brew them yourself every day from now on."
"Brew each packet of herbs twice and drink it twice a day. Continue this for four or five days, and your Kidney Yin Deficiency should be cured. I’ll come check on you then."
"Oh, right. After drinking this, your body will heat up and sweat. You’ll also have diarrhea, and your urine will turn yellow, but don’t worry. These are all normal reactions."
Jiang Yushu looked at the bowl of black medicine, her face full of bitterness. "Do I really have to drink it?"
Sun Zhe smiled. "Bitter medicine is good for the ailment. You’re not a little girl anymore, what’s there to be afraid of?"
Jiang Yushu pouted her moist lips, a little unhappy, and muttered softly, "What if I said I wanted to be like a little girl and have you coax me into drinking the medicine? Would you do it?"
Sun Zhe rubbed his nose and chuckled. "Sister Yu Shu, stop messing around and drink it. You even dared to swallow my... thing. What’s a little medicine compared to that?"
"You... you’re asking for a beating!"
Jiang Yushu’s face turned beet red as she waved her delicate fists, pretending to hit Sun Zhe.
...
「A short time later.」
After personally supervising Jiang Yushu as she drank the medicine, Sun Zhe picked up his medical kit, preparing to leave.
"Oh, Sister Yu Shu, can you send me the address for Celestial Fragrance Street and that Ten Thousand Medicines Hall? I’d like to head over there now."
Jiang Yushu said, "There’s no need for that trouble. I’ll drive you."
Sun Zhe shook his head, however, and said mysteriously, "If I’m not mistaken, your stomach should be feeling a bit bloated right now. You’re probably going to want to use the bathroom."
Hearing this, Jiang Yushu’s face flushed crimson. She suddenly stood up, walked over to grab her handbag, and took out a card, handing it to Sun Zhe.
"Darling, this is a membership card for the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall. With this, you only have to pay the cost price for anything you buy there."
"The address is on the card."
"I... I have to go to the bathroom!"
"..."
Watching Jiang Yushu’s hurried retreat, Sun Zhe chuckled, turned, and left.
After leaving Jiang Yushu’s villa, he followed the address on the membership card, took a taxi directly to Celestial Fragrance Street, and found the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall.
...
It wasn’t until after four in the afternoon that Sun Zhe returned home.
Zhu Yan had already left with Li Zhishan to inspect a factory building; she probably wouldn’t be back until late.
Sun Zhe carried a large bag weighing tens of kilograms into the kitchen and let out a long sigh.
The bag was filled with the medicinal herbs he had bought at the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall, which had cost him a total of 570,000 yuan.
It was a good thing Jiang Yushu had given him the membership card, allowing him to buy everything at cost. Otherwise, he would have spent even more.
He sighed. "To think I was a ten-millionaire, and in the blink of an eye, I’m down to being a millionaire."
Sun Zhe then opened the bag, took out a clay casserole pot that was a gift from the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall, and then began to unpack the herbs one by one.
Just as he was busying himself with various herbs that most people couldn’t even name, his phone suddenly rang.
He took it out and saw that it was Zhu Yan calling.
"Hello, Stepmom."
"Ah Zhe, I might be back late tonight. President Li said our R&D team is having a celebratory dinner."
"Okay, in that case, drink in moderation. If you drink, don’t drive. Just call for a car service."
"Mm, I know."
"..."
Night fell in the blink of an eye.
Sun Zhe stared at the casserole pot on the gas stove with keen anticipation. He reached out, lifted the lid, and a thick medicinal aroma instantly assaulted his nostrils.
After he had added the deer-hide glue, the medicinal liquid in the pot had transformed into a thick paste.
Once the paste cooled slightly, he would add beeswax and roll it into pills, creating the so-called Qi Passage Pills.
I never expected refining a pill would be this simple.
But these herbs are ridiculously expensive. Five hundred and seventy thousand yuan worth of ingredients will only yield three pills, at most.
Back in the village, I never thought these herbs were expensive. You could find them almost anywhere.
"..."
「Moments later.」
Sun Zhe returned to his room with the pills he had rolled himself and sat cross-legged on the bed.
Deciding to give it a try, he swallowed one of them.
As soon as he swallowed it, he felt a warmth spread from his stomach. Its effect isn’t just identical to the one Li Changqing gave me... it’s completely indistinguishable!
Just as he was preparing to circulate his energy to absorb the medicinal power, his phone chimed with a message notification.
Picking it up, he saw it was a WeChat message from Lin Shuqing.
In the message, Lin Shuqing said she had gathered almost all the materials for the Transformation Talisman Water recipe he gave her, but the "Black Dog Toe Blood" was proving very difficult to find.
Sun Zhe thought for a moment and replied with a voice message: "How about this, Teacher Lin? Once I’m done with things here, we can go to some villages on the outskirts to see if we can find any black dogs."
Lin Shuqing then sent a text message thanking him and asking when they should leave.
Sun Zhe glanced at the time. Seeing it was just after seven in the evening, he replied, "Let’s meet somewhere around ten o’clock tonight."
The thought of seeing that fairy-like woman, Lin Shuqing, made Sun Zhe feel a surge of excitement.
It wasn’t a physiological excitement, however, but a spiritual one.
...
