Chapter 913: Meeting, Refining Pills for the Wen Family (5)

“I don’t know either.” Eleventh Elder was very depressed. Why was he the lab rat!

“Eleventh Elder, how are you feeling now?” The Patriarch was very curious. In fact, he had looked for the Eleventh Elder mainly to find out about the effects of the medicine.

“I’m fine! I’m just a little weak,” Eleventh Elder said after some thought.

“Eleventh Elder, go back to your room and rest well! If you feel anything wrong, send someone to inform me immediately.” The Patriarch instructed.

“Thank you, Patriarch. I’ll go rest now.” The Eleventh Elder left the main hall.

“Elders, do you have any objections to Zheng Ersha’s request?” After the Eleventh Elder left, the Patriarch continued to ask.

“Patriarch, only one pill came out of so many medicinal herbs. I don’t think his level is very good. Let’s not waste our time on him,” an elder said.

The Sixth Elder thought for a moment and said, “Patriarch, didn’t the Eleventh Elder eat the medicinal pill refined by Zheng Ersha? Let’s see the effect before making a decision! If that medicine really works, what’s the harm in losing some medicinal herbs!”

“Patriarch, I think the Sixth Elder’s words make sense,” an elder agreed.

However, there were also people who disagreed. Therefore, for a moment, the elders of the Wen family were divided into two factions, and the Patriarch did not immediately make any decisions.

It was not until three days later that the Eleventh Elder appeared in front of them, lively and refreshed. Only then did the Patriarch and the elders agree. This was because they were pleasantly surprised to discover that the eleventh elder’s poison had been cured.

“Hehe! Congratulations, Eleventh Elder. You’re the first to escape misery,” the Sixth Elder said with a smile. There was finally some good news. However, he also regretted not eating that pill back then!

The Patriarch waited for three days before finally confirming that the Eleventh Elder’s poison had really been cured. Therefore, he immediately ordered for the medicinal herbs Zheng En needed to be sent over. This time, the amount of medicinal herbs sent over was twice as much as the first time.

Ye Chen and Zheng’s courtyard.

In the room.

Zheng En looked at the storage ring full of medicinal herbs and was so happy that he almost laughed out loud. However, he still had to pretend to be extremely calm on the surface. He said to the head butler who came to deliver the medicinal herbs to him, “Thank you, Head Butler. I’ll immediately refine pills later. If the elders still want to watch, just let them come over immediately.”

“Very well,” the Head butler replied, and took his leave with great respect.

“That butler’s attitude seems to have improved,” Ye Chen said after the butler left.

“Hehe! I’m their savior!” Zheng En said matter-of-factly, but he was secretly calculating how many medicinal herbs he should embezzle this time.

“Aye!” Ye Chen said with a chuckle, then fell silent.

Not long after, the elders led by the Sixth Elder arrived.

“Hehe, the elders came so quickly this time!” Zheng En stood up and said.

“Hehe, it’s really because Excellency Ersha’s alchemy skills are too fascinating to us.” An elder flattered. Since they already knew that Excellency Ersha could refine a pill that could cure their poison, they naturally had to curry favor with him.

“No, no. I was just lucky. Actually, I don’t have much confidence in this success rate!” Zheng En said humbly and said the ugly words first. In short, what he meant was that he didn’t have much hope for me. I still needed a lot of herbs.

“It’s alright. Our Patriarch said that as long as we can succeed, you can ask for any medicinal herbs you need.” The elder reassured Zheng En.

“Hehe! Thank you for thinking highly of me, Patriarch Wen. I’m really flattered!” Zheng En said. His happiness was definitely genuine because he had been waiting for this sentence.

“Hehe! Excellency Ersha, can you start refining pills now?” The elder asked again.

“Sure,” Zheng En said very firmly. Then he sat down on the praying mat he had prepared and began to refine the pill according to the previous step.

This time, the pill refinement method was the same as last time. A large pile of herbs was thrown into the pill furnace. However, this time, two square-shaped pills were produced on the first try. However, after refining a few more times, they all failed.

“Sixth Elder, there are only two pills. Who wants to eat them?!” After using up all the herbs, Zheng En looked at the pills in his hand and said awkwardly.

“I’ll take one and give the other to the Patriarch,” the Sixth Elder said. This was what they had discussed.

“Alright.” Zheng En handed the two medicinal pills to the Sixth Elder. Then, he said in embarrassment, “I’ve used up all the medicinal herbs again.”

“Excellency Ersha, don’t worry. The family head said that as long as we can cure our poison, medicinal herbs are not a problem,” the Sixth Elder hurriedly said. After saying that, he impatiently swallowed a medicinal pill. Oh! It was so bitter. It was a hundred times more bitter than what the Eleventh Elder had said!

When the elders saw the Sixth Elder’s pained expression, they knew that the medicine did not taste good. However, that medicine could cure their poison, so they had to eat it no matter how bitter it was! Unfortunately, it was not their turn yet!

“Hehe, I’ll refine pills for you when you send the herbs over,” Zheng En said happily.

“Alright, Excellency Ersha, we’ll take our leave first.” The Sixth Elder resisted the urge to drink water. After saying that, he left anxiously with the elders. Oh! He had to go back quickly and give the medicine to the family head!

After Elder Wen left, Ye Chen couldn’t help but ask curiously, “There are so many people in the Wen family. How long will it take to detoxify everyone with such a refinement method?”

“I don’t know, but we’re in no hurry,” Zheng said irresponsibly. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a black spot of light fly in through the window. Well! He didn’t need to guess to know that the young lady had something to say to Commander Ye again, so he tactfully left. What he didn’t know was that even if he didn’t leave, he wouldn’t understand the little phoenix’s language.

The little phoenix flew around Ye Chen twice, then squeaked at him again before landing on his shoulder.

“Hehe! Tell Xue’er I miss her, too,” Ye Chen said. Then, after a few more mushy words in code, the little phoenix flapped its wings and flew away.

After coming here, he and Xue’er did not dare to meet often, so this little black phoenix became their mouthpiece and often helped them pass on messages.

After Little Phoenix left Ye Chen, he flew back to Leng Ruoxue’s room. Then, after a few words with her, he lay quietly in her arms.

“Little guy, are you tired?” Leng Ruoxue reached out a finger and stroked its soft feathers.

Even though she didn’t understand the little phoenix’s language, she could understand what it was trying to say, so she was grateful to it.

The little phoenix chirped softly and lay down again.

Leng Ruoxue looked at the little phoenix and thought of the demon not far away. She was very happy.

After the Sixth Elder returned to the main hall with the pills, he briefly explained what had happened and handed the pills to the head of the Wen family. He even urged the head to take the pills quickly.

The Patriarch looked at the square pill and frowned. However, he still put the pill into his mouth…

Oh! Not only was this pill ugly, but it was also extremely bitter.

“Quick, bring me water,” the Patriarch said loudly with a bitter expression.

The attendant beside him hurriedly handed him a cup of tea. After the Patriarch drank it in one go, he felt the bitterness in his mouth fade.

“Patriarch, I’m afraid you’ll have diarrhea after taking this medicine,” the Sixth Elder reminded him.

“Yes, I’m going to the toilet. Butler, hurry up and gather the herbs. You can send them to Zheng Ersha!” The head of the Wen family said with a pained expression. However, now that everyone in the family had been poisoned, even if his heart ached for the money, he could not ignore the lives of his clansmen!

“Yes,” the Head butler said.

In fact, he also wanted to send the herbs to Zheng Ersha as soon as possible. However, after sending them twice, Zheng Ersha had already used up a third of the Wen family’s stock. Moreover, there was a medicinal herb called Rootless Grass that the Wen family did not have much stock of. Therefore, he was currently purchasing this medicinal herb.

Sigh! He did not know when the antidote for so many of them would be completely refined, and he did not know when he would get his hands on the antidote. How worrying!

Two days later, the Head Butler sent Zheng En another batch of herbs…
