chapter 10 Hua Tuo Jin Fang

Maximilian said, "Indeed, I happen to know this prescription."
"That's great, young man. Could you please help me complete the prescription? The reward of one million will be yours in full."
Solarius, his beard quivering with excitement, could tell from the two herbs Maximilian had already written that this young man was no ordinary person.
He had studied this prescription countless times and tried numerous herbs, but the medicinal properties simply couldn't match the first fifteen herbs.
But the two herbs now were completely different, they perfectly matched the previous fifteen herbs, possibly being two of the three missing herbs.
Maximilian shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I was going to fill it out, but your Herbs Hall staff said that not just anyone can write here. It seems that we are not destined to work together, you should seek someone else."
As he turned to leave, Solarius grabbed his wrist, "Young man, don't go, please don't go."
The reward notice has been posted for a while, and apart from Maximilian, no one else could match even one herb. If he left, where would Solarius find someone?
The Hua Tuo's Golden Prescription itself was a priceless treasure, and it was related to the life and death of a big shot, which was why he was willing to offer a million-dollar reward.
Now he had finally found someone who could complete the Hua Tuo's Golden Prescription, and he would not let go at all costs.
After stopping Maximilian, he turned to Michael and yelled, "You rascal, how dare you talk to the young man like that, apologize now!
And let me tell you, if the young man doesn't forgive you, you can get out of here today!"
"I…"
Michael was completely dumbfounded. The treatment at Herbs Hall was the highest in the medical industry of River South City. Moreover, with Solarius' prestige in traditional Chinese medicine, if he was fired here, no one would hire him again, and he would lose his livelihood.
Thinking of this, he fell to his knees in front of Maximilian, slapped himself twice in the face, and said, "I'm sorry, I misjudged you.
I have old parents and young children at home, all relying on me to support them, please forgive me this time!"
Maximilian sighed, if this man knew this would happen, why did he do it in the first place?
However, ever since he received the inheritance of the Ancient Medical Sect, his knowledge and vision had been elevated to a new level, and he didn't bother to care about such small matters.
He waved his hand and said, "Alright, get up."
"Thank you, young man, thank you!"
Michael gratefully got up from the ground.
Solarius once again said, "Young man, weren't you here to buy medicine just now? Whatever you are buying, it's all free."
"Ah?" Michael said, "Mr. Prisca, those herbs add up to more than two hundred thousand…"
Solarius shouted, "Just do as you're told, stop talking nonsense!"
"Don't be angry, sir, I'll go right away."
Michael quickly ran to the counter and brought over the herbs he had just packed.
Just now he was thinking about getting a kickback, but now he had to give away all the herbs for free, and he almost lost his job. If he had known this would happen, why did he provoke the man?
With these thoughts in his mind, he brought the herbs to Maximilian.
Solarius said, "Young man, consider these herbs as my apology to you, and please help me complete the Hua Tuo's Golden Prescription."
As he spoke, his face was full of longing.
As the Polaris of the traditional Chinese medicine community in River South, old Mr. Prisca had already gone this far, and Maximilian naturally couldn't say anything more.
He picked up the pen and filled in the last missing herb - Three-leafed Orchid.
"It's complete, finally complete!"
Upon seeing the completed Hua Tuo's Golden Prescription on the wall, Solarius was trembling with excitement.
He had obtained this prescription by chance, but due to its age, many of the characters on it were unclear, making it an incomplete prescription.
Knowing the value of Hua Tuo's Golden Prescription, he had put in a lot of effort to confirm the first fifteen herbs, but the last three were impossible to complete.
This time, in order to treat that big shot and to fill the regret in his heart, he offered a reward of one million.
The notice had been posted for several days, but many people were helpless. Just when he was about to give up and withdraw the notice, he met this young man.
Maximilian, however, appeared indifferent. This so-called Hua Tuo's Golden Prescription was quite common in the Ancient Medical Sect and was not a remarkable prescription at all.
Solarius was excited for a while, took the prescription off the wall, and suddenly his expression changed.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "Young man, there seems to be something wrong with this prescription. The medicinal properties of Three-leafed Orchid and Angelica Dahurica conflict, these two herbs cannot be used together."
He was well versed in the medicinal properties of Chinese herbs and immediately spotted the problem in the prescription.
Michael, who was standing by, couldn't help but move his heart. He knew that this young man couldn't possibly complete the Hua Tuo's Golden Prescription. Once old Mr. Prisca gave the order, he would immediately take back those herbs worth more than two hundred thousand.
Maximilian calmly said, "Mr. Prisca is correct, these two herbs indeed cannot be used together, but the mistake is not with Three-leafed Orchid, but with the previous Angelica Dahurica.
The herb in the Hua Tuo's Golden Prescription is Atractylodes Macrocephala, not Angelica Dahurica. Although they are similar, their medicinal properties are quite different."
"Atractylodes Macrocephala?"
As an expert in Chinese medicine, Solarius naturally wouldn't just believe what others said. He studied the prescription carefully again and his face showed a look of sudden realization.
On the incomplete prescription, only one character of this herb was clearly visible, and the character behind it was extremely blurred. He had speculated for a long time and thought it should be Angelica Dahurica, but he was wrong.
"Atractylodes Macrocephala! It is indeed Atractylodes Macrocephala! Now everything makes sense."
After replacing Angelica Dahurica with Atractylodes Macrocephala, the entire prescription's medical theory was completely clear, without any flaws.
Michael was disappointed on the side, but also extremely surprised. Who exactly was this young man? He was able to guide old Mr. Prisca in traditional Chinese medicine, which was unprecedented. It seemed that he must not offend this man in the future.
"Young man, you are indeed a master, I am truly impressed."
Solarius said excitedly, "Young man, I haven't asked for your name yet, who is your master?"
He had visited many famous traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, but none of them could complete the Hua Tuo's Golden Prescription.
Maximilian was so young and could do it, which showed that his master was definitely not ordinary. This made him immediately want to make friends.
"My name is Maximilian Karsyn, my master was a recluse, and he has passed away."
"Oh." Solarius's eyes flashed a regretful look, then he said, "Young man, you helped me complete the Hua Tuo's Golden Prescription, now it's time for me to keep my promise."
He called the manager from the clinic and handed a check for one million to Maximilian.
Maximilian took the check and said, "Mr. Prisca, I cannot accept rewards for nothing, please deduct the cost of the herbs from the reward."
"What are you talking about? I said it's free, aren't you slapping me in the face?" Solarius said, "The Hua Tuo's Golden Prescription is priceless, adding another 200,000 is nothing.
Moreover, you have helped me a lot this time. I was waiting for the Hua Tuo's Golden Prescription to save my old friend's life, if it was a few days later, it would have been too late."
Maximilian had a good impression of this old man. Although he was an elder in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, he had no airs and was straightforward, which suited his temperament.
He said, "Mr. Prisca, are you using the Hua Tuo's Golden Prescription to treat someone?"
Solarius nodded and said, "Yes, I have an old friend who has a lung disease, which is very serious. Numerous famous doctors have been helpless. If I can't gather the Hua Tuo's Golden Prescription, I'm afraid he doesn't have three days left to live."
Maximilian frowned and said, "Sir, you are mistaken, the Hua Tuo's Golden Prescription can't cure diseases."
