"Here you go!" Ferrid Chu took out a tattered box and said, "There are more than ten pills inside as samples for you. If you think they're good, contact me tomorrow!"
After saying this, Ferrid Chu stood up and walked away quickly.
"Juliet, who are these people you know? He's really crazy!" Liu Hui dared to speak only after Ferrid Chu, the ominous god, had gone far. Then she quickly contacted someone, sent Cove Zhou's body to the Zhou family, and personally went to explain the situation.
In Maple City, the Zhou family was second only to the Chen family among the six major wealthy families. Ferrid Chu had just killed the eldest son of the Zhou family in one move. How this matter would end was giving Liu Hui a headache.
"Let our Song Auction House only auction the pills from the Chu family?"
After hearing what Juliet Song said, Morven Song, Juliet Song's uncle, looked at her in disbelief and then smiled, "Juliet, is this the idea of that crazy Ferrid Chu? I never thought Ferrid Chu was crazy, and you, Juliet Song, are also crazy! Auctioning pills from only one family means offending all the other pharmacies in Maple City! Are you out of your mind to do something so foolish?"
"Uncle, Ferrid Chu has brought samples. Maybe his pill samples are better and have an advantage." Juliet Song stubbornly suggested.
"Alright! What good pills can be in such a tattered box?" Morven Song impatiently said, "I have an important guest to meet later, and I don't have time to waste on you!"
After speaking, Morven Song walked out of the reception hall, took a few steps, suddenly stopped, then turned to look at Juliet Song. His gaze became cold, and he said, "Juliet, my younger brother left early. You and your mother have been in the Song family for so many years, and you've received many benefits from the Song family. You've always held the position of vice president of the Song Auction House. I think it's time to give way to your cousin, my son. After all, you're a girl. Sooner or later, you'll get married, and then you shouldn't meddle in the affairs of our Song family!"
After speaking, Morven Song left without looking back.
"Why are you all so heartless!" Juliet Song cried. She suddenly missed her deceased father. He was the one who truly cared for her and loved her.
At the gate of the Song family, a luxurious car pulled up, and an elderly man in traditional Chinese clothing got out.
"Blue Wei, I've been waiting for you for so long!" Morven Song bowed.
The old man before him was Blue Wei, the vice president of the Reeb Region National Medical Association. His medical skills were extremely advanced. He and River Song, Morven Song's father, were once comrades-in-arms. They had experienced life and death together on the battlefield. It was because of this relationship that Morven Song was able to persuade Blue Wei to come and treat his father.
"Haven't seen you in a few years, Brother Song, how did you age so much!" Blue Wei looked at River Song lying in bed, feeling emotional.
At this moment, River Song's face was pale, his breath was feeble, and he was unconscious. He had become nothing but skin and bones.
"Blue Wei, about a year ago, my dad suddenly started losing weight and had difficulty eating. I consulted many famous doctors, but none of them could cure him. It's been a year, and my dad's health has been deteriorating. He's now in danger. I had no choice but to ask for your help!" Morven Song explained the situation to Blue Wei.
Blue Wei nodded slightly, and after checking River Song's pulse, he furrowed his brow in thought. Then, he took out a silver needle he had with him and inserted a total of 774 needles into various acupoints on River Song's body.
"Ah..."
Just a few minutes later, River Song, who had been in a coma, slowly opened his eyes. His originally pale face even showed a hint of rosy colour.
"I'm hungry, I want to eat!" River Song actually spoke!
Morven Song was overjoyed and quickly had the servants prepare a delicious meal for River Song. Then, he turned and knelt before Blue Wei, looking at him with awe and said, "Blue Wei, you are truly the top physician in our Reeb Regions! With just a few needles, my dad's condition has improved so much!"
"River's illness should be due to the lingering effects of an old injury from his youth on the battlefield. I've removed the root of the problem. In less than a day, River will be able to get up and walk around!" Blue Wei said as he put away his silver needles. He was already accustomed to the shocked reactions of the patients' families.
Usually, those who knelt to him were provincial-level, or even powerful family heads from the capital. For the second son of the Song family in Maple City to kneel to him, he thought it was perfectly normal.
"Blue Wei, I know that you're helping my dad because of our old friendship. This is just a small token of my appreciation. There's 2 billion in the account. Please accept it!" Morven Song respectfully handed the card to Blue Wei.
"Let it go. River is my comrade-in-arms. I'll do this for free. I have some business to attend to. I'm going to see a friend. Right now, River is still in a semi-conscious state. When he's a bit more awake, I'll come back to check on him." Blue Wei declined calmly. To him, 2 billion was something he could earn in a matter of minutes. His medical treatment this time was based on the emotions he shared with an old comrade.
Seeing that Blue Wei was determined not to accept, Morven Song had no choice but to retract the bank card. He then accompanied Blue Wei out.
"Hmm?" Passing by the Song family reception hall, Blue Wei suddenly paused. He had caught a whiff of the scent of pills. Through the scent, he immediately judged that these pills were of a high rank!
His gaze fell on the tattered box on the coffee table in the reception hall, and he walked over.
At this moment, Juliet Song was sitting dejectedly on the side.
"Miss, are there pills in this box?" Blue Wei asked.
"Yes, they were refined by a friend of mine." Juliet Song knew that Blue Wei, the distinguished guest mentioned by Morven Song, but she didn't know his identity.
"Refined by your friend?" Blue Wei was quite surprised. Alchemists were extremely rare, even though he had a good understanding of pills. He wasn't an alchemist himself. "May I take a look?"
"Of course, feel free to look." Juliet Song opened the paper box.
Inside the box were a dozen or so pills scattered about.
Blue Wei picked up one carefully, examined it closely, then sniffed it. Suddenly, his expression froze. "This... this is a Fourth-Rank Spirit-Linking Pill!"
"A Fourth-Rank Spirit-Linking Pill?" Juliet Song was also astonished. The highest-rank Spirit-Linking Pill she had auctioned at the Song Auction House was only a Second-Rank. At that time, that Second-Rank Spirit-Linking Pill became the absolute highlight of the auction!
If this pill was indeed a Fourth-Rank Spirit-Linking Pill, then once the news got out, it would draw cultivators from all over Maple City, and even the entire Ling Province, to come and bid.
Morven Song, beside her, was also dumbfounded. He certainly knew what a Fourth-Rank Spirit-Linking Pill meant. He also saw that the pill in his hand was extraordinary, though he wasn't as proficient in pills as Blue Wei.
"To be able to refine a Fourth-Rank pill! Where is your friend? I must meet them!" In the Reeb Regions, encountering an alchemist was like winning the lottery. Meeting an alchemist who could refine a Fourth-Rank Spirit-Linking Pill was simply beyond miraculous!
Seeing Blue Wei, who was full of excitement, Juliet Song was quite surprised. She hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll take you to find him right away!"
