Chapter 61 -61: Being Humiliated in Public + The First Disguise Falls Off

——Returning Pill?

What is this?

None of the people present understood traditional Chinese medicine, so they were all startled. However, Gao He clearly knew what Lu Sheng was talking about and looked at her in astonishment: “Young girl, you actually know about the Returning Pill?”

Fu Yun took a deep breath and asked on behalf of everyone, “Doctor Gao, what exactly is this Returning Pill?”

Gao He looked at her and explained: “The Returning Pill is a type of medicinal pill mentioned in the ‘Feng Medical Scripture’.”

“The ‘Feng Medical Scripture’ is an ancient medical book passed down from Grandmaster Lin, which records various methods for creating miracle cures to treat complex and difficult diseases.”

“However, many of the medications listed have not been widely tested on patients, so their safety cannot be guaranteed.”

“Therefore, there is a family rule in my master’s home that the methods and medicines listed in the ‘Feng Medical Scripture’ are not to be divulged outside and can only be used for personal research.”

“I’m surprised that this young girl knows about the Returning Pill,” Gao He glanced at Lu Sheng, “but she’s right, if there were a Returning Pill, the old master’s life could be saved.”

“The medical scripture says that the Returning Pill is a miracle detox pill, calling it an Immortal Pill would not be an exaggeration. It neutralizes and counteracts various poisons, and the poisoned person will awaken not long after taking just one pill.”

“Is there really such a miracle cure in this world?”

Upon hearing this, Fu Yun was overjoyed and exclaimed, “Then how can we purchase this Returning Pill? No matter how much it costs, I will buy it for my father!”

“It’s not available for purchase.” Gao He’s next words, however, poured cold water on the hopes that had just been ignited.

“As I said earlier, according to family rules, medicinal products made by my master from the ‘Feng Medical Scripture’ are not to be shared outside.”

“Even if it were allowable, it would still not be possible, because my grandmaster never actually made this pill.”

Fu Yun’s breathing faltered: “…What did you say?”

“Many of the pills recorded in the ‘Feng Medical Scripture’ either require herbs that no longer exist or are extremely difficult to find.”

Gao He continued, “I heard from my master that after his grandmaster turned sixty, he stopped taking patients because he wanted to create the Returning Pill.”

“But the herbs needed to make the Returning Pill would require traveling across rivers and mountains, searching through high mountains and deep valleys.”

“His elder simply does not have the energy or strength anymore, and my master is always diagnosing and dispensing medicines in Beijing, also not having the mind or time for it.”

“I have only heard that my grandmaster later assigned the task to a closed-door disciple whom I have never met, but whether this disciple actually made the Returning Pill, I do not know.”

“But based on my guess…” Gao He shook his head, “I presume that my disciple uncle also did not truly succeed in making that pill.”

“It has been made,” just then, Lu Sheng abruptly spoke up, “the Returning Pill is here with me, I’ve had someone help me retrieve it from the Lu Family.”

Once again, her words shocked everyone present.

Fu Yun finally lost tolerance for Lu Sheng, rushed up to her, and raised her hand to slap her: “Shut up!!”

“You reckless wild girl, what nonsense are you spouting again?!”

But before the slap could land, Lu Sheng was swiftly protected in the arms of Li Muchen.

Fu Yun’s slap landed heavily on the broad and strong back of the man.

Shielding Lu Sheng, Li Muchen suddenly turned around. Even Fu Yun, who was accustomed to being high and mighty despite being in her forties or fifties, was startled by the fierceness and ruthlessness in his eyes.

“Aunt Yun, if you dare touch her, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Li Muchen’s tone was as unchanging as ancient ice, his aura chilling to the bone, emanating the commanding presence of a superior.

Upon seeing Li Muchen get angry at her mother, Fu Siya hurried over: “Muchen, don’t be mad, my mom was just in a temper…”

“Siya, you don’t need to speak well of her!”

Fu Yun quickly regained her composure, unable to contain her anger, “Li Muchen, I don’t know what relation you have with this country bumpkin, protecting her in public like this.”

“In terms of age and seniority, you should address me as Aunt Yun. In terms of family relations, the Fu Family and the Li Family are in-laws. Yet now you dare to confront me in public for the illegitimate daughter of the Lu Family?”

“I initially thought the old master had only a minor issue, but did you hear what Miracle Doctor Gao just said? He said the old master won’t make it!”

Fu Yun spoke agitatedly, “This girl made a mistake in one character, endangering the old master’s life! This is manslaughter by law! I will make her pay with her life!”

Li Muchen suddenly clenched his fist in the shadows, slowly speaking, “…Lu Sheng said that she did not write that prescription.”

“Of course she would say it wasn’t her! If she admitted it was her, could she still stand here?”

Fu Yun angrily retorted, “And just because she says it wasn’t her, does that mean you believe it?”

“I believe.”

Li Muchen did not hesitate, causing Fu Yun to nearly pass out from anger.

The atmosphere suddenly froze again.

Lu Jingyan also took a deep breath—

If it really was because Lu Sheng wrote one wrong character, leading to Old Mr. Fu’s death, then regardless of whether it was intentional or unintentional, it was her fault.

There was no way he could defend her, and the Fu Family would definitely not let her go.

Even with Li Muchen here, this matter could not be easily dismissed.

Just then, Lu Siyan suddenly looked towards Gao He and said, “Didn’t Doctor Gao say that you didn’t know whether your uncle had succeeded in making the Returning Pill?”

“That means he might not have made the Returning Pill, but it’s also possible that he did.”

“If that’s the case, can you contact your Grandmaster and ask for your uncle’s contact details to find out if he has the medicine?”

Looking emotionless, Lu Siyan glanced at Fu Yun, “Old Mr. Fu is still alive; we should be thinking about how to save him rather than how to make my sister pay with her life.”

Indeed.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Isn’t it easy to find out if we just ask?

Although it is rumored that Gao He’s uncle is very low-key and mysterious, and they don’t know his name, gender, age or location, Grandmaster Feng Guolin should certainly know.

This is his closed-door disciple; Feng Guolin definitely has his contact information. They would not ignore a matter of life and death.

“Yes,” Gao He immediately said, “I will send a message to my Grandmaster now to ask.”

Everyone saw Gao He typing on his phone for a long time, probably explaining the whole situation, before he sent it out.

Everyone waited anxiously.

About two minutes later, a ‘ding’ from a notification sound came from the phone.

Gao He looked at the reply and couldn’t help but be overjoyed, “My Grandmaster has replied! He gave me my uncle’s contact details, and he said my uncle is currently in Jiang City.”

In Jiang City??

Everyone was overjoyed, and Fu Yun immediately said, “Then call your uncle quickly to ask about it. As long as he says he has the medicine, I’ll send someone to get it right away!”

“Okay.” Gao He quickly agreed and then dialed the number.

Since everyone was waiting for the result, Gao Lin immediately put it on speakerphone so everyone could hear his uncle’s reply in real time.

However, just as his phone began to ring twice, suddenly another ringtone sounded in the room.

Everyone instinctively searched for the source of the sound, and saw that it was Lu Sheng’s phone ringing.

Fu Yun couldn’t help but curse out.

“You wild girl, turn off your phone! Don’t you see Doctor Gao is calling the Miracle Doctor?”

“Wait till we get the results, then I’ll settle the score with you!” After saying that, she turned her head and anxiously awaited the call Gao He made to connect.

Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng emotionlessly picked up her phone and pressed it.

And exactly at that time, Gao He’s phone indicated that the other party had picked up.

Everyone couldn’t help but hold their breath.

Gao He also took a deep breath, clearly nervous as it was his first time talking to his never-met uncle.

Respectfully, he spoke into the phone, “Hello uncle, my name is Gao He, and I got your contact from Grandmaster.”

“I wanted to ask if you have made the Returning Pill. We have a patient here with multiple toxins in his body, his life is in danger, and he might need the Returning Pill to survive.”

However, after Gao He finished speaking, there was no response from the other end of the phone.

He reluctantly tried again tentatively asking, “Uncle…?”

“Mm.”

Suddenly, a cold voice of a young girl echoed in the room, and simultaneously, the voice from Gao He’s phone matched exactly.

Everyone instinctively turned back, only to see Lu Sheng standing there, holding her phone to her ear.

Gao He looked up, holding his phone with widened eyes, seemingly realizing something.

He looked at the fair-skinned, underage girl not far away unbelievably.

Then, the middle-aged man tentatively called out to the young girl, “…Uncle?”

“Mm, you asked if I have the Returning Pill, right?”

Lu Sheng stood still, with an emotionless face speaking into the phone, “I said it in person but they didn’t believe me, so I might as well say it over the phone.”

Lu Sheng repeated what she had said earlier but was scolded by Fu Yun, “I did make the Returning Pill, it’s with me here, and I’ve already had someone retrieve it for me from the Lu family.”

“Hang up the phone, save on the phone bill.” After saying that, Lu Sheng directly hung up the phone.
