Chapter 17 My Bai Group Has Hopes of Shooting up the Ranks!

• Resurrection Pill!
• In that moment, Old Master Bai could barely believe his ears.
• Just a while ago, he was still lamenting the fact that the Bai family was unable to obtain the formula to the Resurrection Pill, and now…
• Old Master Bai could virtually feel his heart pounding so hard like it was about to burst out.
• And he wasn’t the only one!
• The eyes of Elder Gao, seated behind him, were about to burst right out of his sockets. His eyes were dead set on that piece of toilet paper, staring at it as if he’s seen a ghost.
• It was then that the people in the main hall realized that something was off.
• The raucous laughter slowly quietened down.
• They all looked to Old Master Bai and Elder Gao, utterly confused with no idea just what the situation was.
• “B-Bai Yan! Let me have a look at the toilet paper you have in your hand!” Elder Gao said to Bai Yan with a trembling voice in the silence.
• What!
• At this moment, everyone’s eyes flashed onto the toilet paper in her hands.
• Even Bai Shan and Bai Yi were completely bewildered by the situation.
• They couldn’t imagine just what was there to look at in the random writings Lin Fan wrote while he was in the washroom.
• “Uh… Right!” Bai Yan who was dumbfounded by what just happened finally came out of her daze.
• She immediately handed that piece of toilet paper over.
• But for some reason, in that moment, her sixth sense was ringing, telling her that she had got herself in a great deal of trouble. An ominous feeling welled up in her heart.
• After receiving the toilet paper, Elder Gao laid his eyes on the words on that paper, slowly going down the list, “Semen brassicae, Solanum nigrum, chicken gizzard membrane…”
• Every time he went down one ingredient on the list, he would feel his heart clench.
• It all matched up!
• Virtually all the components of the Resurrection Pill that he had managed to figure out over the years was on this paper.
• And that was not the end of it!
• At first, Elder Gao had his doubts about the other ingredients, but once he saw the foreign herbs on the list, he suddenly felt like he could see the light.
• “Oh god! That really was Semen brassicae and there’s also this Caesalpinia seed!”
• “And Selaginella uncinata, Rauvolfia verticillata…”
• “The refining method is to combine Semen brassicae, Equisetum arvense, Coriaria nepalensis wall… together and boil over medium heat for thirty minutes. Then, add Halloysitum rubrum and root of Auricledleaf swallowwort, and boil for another twenty minutes…”
• During this time, the atmosphere in the room had reached peak bizarreness.
• Everyone stared fixedly at Elder Gao.
• In their eyes, it was as if Elder Gao had been possessed. When he read through the names of the ingredients and the method of refining, he would constantly switch between frowning and smiling.
• Had he gone mad?
• Seeing the sight before them, it was really like he had gone mad?
• Meanwhile, Old Master Bai’s face flushed red from excitement when he saw the look in Elder Gao’s eyes.
• Without needing to even guess, he could see that this old friend was completely immersed in the prescription.
• Which meant that there was a high likelihood of this formula being… real!
• One minute!
• Five minutes!
• Ten minutes!
• After twenty whole minutes had passed, a long sigh could be heard and it was as if Elder Gao had finally come back to his senses.
• As he wiped the perspiration on his forehead while treating the piece of toilet paper with great care, like he was holding a holy relic, he said to Old Master Bai ecstatically, “O-Old Master Bai! Your wish just came true! This is really the formula for the Resurrection Pill!”
• Boom!
• Hearing his words, Old Master Bai could no longer contain his excitement. He sprung up from his seat and asked, “R-Really? Are you sure?”
• Old Master Bai felt that this was most definitely the most exciting moment of his entire life.
• He wasn’t this exhilarated even when he first founded the Bai Group!
• “Yes!” Elder Gao replied solemnly.
• However, his brows creased slightly almost immediately after, as he added, “I am 100% sure that this is the real formula of the Resurrection Pill! The only flaw is that only part of the refining method was written! It's almost like the person who wrote it stopped halfway on purpose!”
• What!
• Hearing that, Old Master Bai narrowed his eyes. He couldn’t help but turn to Bai Shan and question the latter nervously, “Bai Shan, d-did Lin Fan really write this prescription down in the toilet?”
• When the word “toilet” was uttered, the corner of the lips of both Old Master Bai and Elder Gao twitch slightly and they had a strange expression on their faces.
• Bai Shan, on the other hand, was still stunned as he nodded his head dumbly.
• “S-Spectacular! My Bai Group has hopes of shooting up the ranks! God bless!!!” Old Master Bai exclaimed the instant he got a response from Bai Shan. He was so excited he almost leaped with joy.
• But once those words left his lips, everyone was beyond shocked.
• All those that were in the room, whether it’s Bai Hai and Bai Yifan or Bai Chuan and Bai Yan, there were all completely shocked.
• Resurrection Pill?
• Wasn’t that just some rubbish Lin Fan came up with to trick them?
• Why was it that Old Master Bai appear like he had obtained some precious treasure?
• “Father, what on earth is this Resurrection Pill? Do you have to be this excited over it?” Master Bai Chuan asked, the tone in his voice was a mix of curiosity and displeasure.
• However, just as those words left his mouth!
• Slap!
• He felt a tight slap hit him across his face.
• Master Bai Chuan was slapped so hard he stumbled backward and fell onto the ground with a thump.
• “You bloody blind fool! What do you know!” Old Master Bai yelled at Bai Chuan, his face pale from the rage he felt, “This Resurrection Pill is the only cure to the AS Pneumonia in this entire world! With it, the Bai group will be the first pharmaceutical company to develop the Resurrection Pill! Not only will the government and the masses thank us, the market will also belong to us!”
• What!
• As Old Master Bai’s words reverberated across the hall, no one could believe their ears.
• Cure?
• The Resurrection Pill can cure AS Pneumonia?
• In an instant, it was like the entire hall exploded.
• One should know that whether it was Bai Hai or Bai Chuan, after gathering so many Chinese and Western medical experts, they’ve only managed to develop treatments that could suppress the virus for a short period of time!
• But now, someone is saying that Lin Fan actually jotted down the cure?
• H-How could that be?!
• Not only did everyone find it hard to believe, in that moment, Bai Shan and Bai Yi found it particularly hard to digest.
• Gulp!
• Bai Shan swallowed his saliva and asked his daughter with a blank look, “B-Bai Yi! Lin Fan knows medicine?”
• Medicine?
• Bai felt the corner of her mouth twitching. What the heck! How on earth would I know if that jerk knows medicine!
• Bai Yi felt like dying!
• In that instant, she found that she could no longer see who Lin Fan was. How could that guy change so much overnight, almost like a monster?
• However, that was not the end!
• Old Master Bai took a few deep breaths before he could finally calm down the excitement and exhilaration he felt. Then, he looked at Bai Shan and Bai Yi in satisfaction and said with a nod, “Alright everyone, I hereby announce that not only is the Resurrection Pill Bai Group’s top priority! From today onwards, this matter will be in the hands of Bai Shan! The Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors and Western doctors under the Bai Hai and Bai Chuan are to be placed under Bai Shan’s management! All those who refuse to obey will not be tolerated and will be expelled from the Bai Group!”
• Boom!
• With this order, the tides in the Bai Group had completely changed.
• It was almost as if Bai Hai, Bai Yifan, Bai Chuan, and Bai Yan had all their strength zapped from their bodies as they fell onto their seats lifelessly.
• They never would've imagined that despite victory being right in front of their eyes, Bai Shan and Bai Yi, who were just about to be expelled from the group, would be able to turn the tables so!
• And the thing that allowed them to do so was actually the person that everyone had looked down on, that useless son-in-law—Lin Fan!
