"However, since Uncle Shen is unwilling to do it, you're the most qualified person in Jizhou."
Jiang Xinghai looked at the ninety-year-old Du Jingsong. "Since we're doing this, we must be the best."
"Thank you, Duke Jiang, for this great honor. I promise I won't drop the ball." Du Jingsong raised his hand to swear an oath, unable to contain his excitent.
"The most pressing matter now is for to write out the formula for the Nourishing Essence Pill. I'll have to trouble all of you to help gather the ingredients. The sooner, the better."
Jiang Xinghai looked around at everyone, picked up a few napkins, and began to write with flamboyant, calligraphic strokes.
The Nourishing Essence Pill formula consisted of thirty-six dicinal ingredients in total.
When Du Jingsong and the others read it, their expressions filled with helplessness.
After they went through the list one by one, they concluded that they could only find thirty of the ingredients. The other six were all Third Grade Spiritual dicines, most of which they had never even heard of.
One could only imagine that even if Alchemists hadn't gone extinct, trying to refine this pill would still be a fool's dream.
"If you really can't find them, substitute them with Second Grade dicinal ingredients. If that's not possible, use First Grade. But you absolutely cannot use Mortal Items."
Jiang Xinghai then wrote down the nas of twelve more dicinal ingredients across the two different grades.
Everyone nodded emphatically, said their goodbyes, and left.
In the large hall, only Jiang Xinghai and a few mbers of the Shen Family remained.
Suddenly—
"Congratulations, Patriarch Shen. We've arrived a bit late." Two young won walked in through the doorway.
It was none other than Ye Zhiqiu and Mi Hong.
"And you two are?"
Shen Zhengye stood up, smiling warmly at the newcors with a friendly gaze.
"Patriarch Shen, my father is Ye Mang. He's in Central State and couldn't make it back in ti, so he sent with a gift to offer congratulations." Ye Zhiqiu approached with light, graceful steps.
"Ah, so you're Miss Ye. Please, have a seat." Shen Zhengye smiled in realization.
Three years ago, when his Dantian was destroyed by Wang Yuan, the person in charge of the dark web had been Ye Mang.
Although the two had crossed paths, their relationship was rely average.
"Divine Doctor Jiang, I trust you've been well," Ye Zhiqiu said, turning her head to look at him.
Mi Hong also smiled charmingly.
Jiang Xinghai nodded back with a smile in response.
"Brother Xinghai's network is quite extensive," Shen Lingyin muttered, feeling indignant on her sister's behalf.
"I'm a doctor, so it's normal to know a lot of people," Jiang Xinghai said, gently tapping Shen Lingxue on the forehead.
She tried to dodge but failed, shooting him a fierce glare. "So, you're saying they're both your patients?"
"Yes, I'm helping them with their treatnt," Jiang Xinghai admitted frankly.
Shen Lingyin didn't say another word. If she were to ask what their illnesses were, it would be far too nosy.
"You must be Second Miss Shen. Hello. My chronic issue is a 'cold uterus'."
Suddenly, Ye Zhiqiu looked at Shen Lingyin. Not only did she frankly state her condition to her face, but she also pointed to a spot three inches below her navel. "Divine Doctor Jiang is helping with acupuncture and massage right here. The results have been excellent."
"'Cold uterus?'" Shen Lingyin gave a stunned smile.
Her mother, Qiao Huimin, and her sister, Shen Lingxue, also had strange expressions on their faces.
A cold uterus—that's a woman's ailnt.
The spot for the acupuncture and massage was indeed quite intimate.
"Oh, and my best friend, Mi Hong, has a nodule on her right side. Besides coming to congratulate the Shen Family today, we were also hoping to ask Divine Doctor Jiang to give my friend so acupuncture and massage." Ye Zhiqiu's explanation seed gentle and refined, but it was laced with imnse provocation.
This was a provocation between won.
Sure enough, when Shen Lingxue and Shen Lingyin heard that Jiang Xinghai was going to perform acupuncture and massage on Mi Hong's chest, their expressions darkened in unison.
'How interesting!'
'Two won. One with a cold uterus, the other with a breast nodule!'
'These were a woman's most private issues, and both supposedly required acupuncture and massage.'
The two sisters couldn't help but look at Jiang Xinghai.
Jiang Xinghai just smiled earnestly and didn't respond.
"Divine Doctor Jiang, why don't you co ho with us now?" Ye Zhiqiu and Mi Hong stood up one after the other.
The sisters Shen Lingxue and Shen Lingyin were also staring at Jiang Xinghai.
"There's no ti right now. I have to be at Jishan Hall for my clinic hours later. Let's do it another ti," Jiang Xinghai said, his expression serious as he waved them off tactfully.
'Are you kidding ?!'
'In his peripheral vision, he could see the hostility in Shen Lingxue's eyes. How could he possibly agree to go?'
Besides, his daily clinic hours at Jishan Hall were sothing he had promised Lin Liping.
'As for that cunning woman, Ye Zhiqiu, he couldn't care less.'
"Alright then. We'll wait for Divine Doctor Jiang's arrival."
Ye Zhiqiu didn't press the issue. She said her goodbyes to everyone and left with Mi Hong.
"Divine Doctor Jiang, you're quite the ladies' man."
At that mont, Shen Lingyin stood up, pulling Shen Lingxue with her as if to leave.
"Divine Doctor Jiang, I guess we won't be waiting for you to co ho for dinner tonight."
Shen Lingxue sighed softly. "After all, you're having so much fun eating and drinking outside, you won't even think about coming ho."
With that, the two won left.
"Hahaha..."
The couple, Shen Zhengye and Qiao Huimin, who hadn't spoken a word until now, suddenly looked at Jiang Xinghai and burst out laughing.
"Uncle, Auntie, what are you two laughing at?" Jiang Xinghai was speechless.
"We're laughing at what a ladies' man you've beco."
Shen Zhengye walked up and clapped Jiang Xinghai on the shoulder. "Honey, could you step out for a mont? Jiang and I have sothing serious to discuss."
Qiao Huimin tactfully took her leave.
"Jiang, your aunt and I can both tell... it seems both of my daughters have fallen for you," Shen Zhengye said, his tone growing serious.
