Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 98: Can Such Expensive Medicine Turn You into an Immortal?

"Would you mind treating me, sister-in-law?" Ke Zeming coughed lightly, then looked at Su Yijia with a somewhat embarrassed expression. In the past, he wouldn’t even admit Qin Kaize as his senior. Now, in order to have children who would offer him tributes after he died, he was as meek as could be.

Su Yijia instinctively glanced at Qin Kaize, who blinked his eyes with great force. She breathed a sigh of relief.

Although 666 could assist, the medicinal formula had not been obtained. There was one more chance for a random draw, but she was reluctant to use it for this purpose.

"Kaize, I’m calling you ’brother,’ isn’t that enough? Sister-in-law’s medical skills are excellent. Having her help will surely speed up my recovery," Ke Zeming dragged a chair right next to Qin Kaize, and whispered sweet words in his ear. He held a notebook, ready to jot down anything Qin Kaize wished to express. He was willing to do anything to be cured.

"You’re not in a hurry," Qin Kaize pointed out bluntly. It wasn’t that he had been married for years and needed to get his wife pregnant to steady the family.

Ke Zeming felt aggrieved, "Why can’t I be in a hurry? If I don’t get treated and cured soon, I can’t get married, and that would be unfair to my future wife!" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"The hospital can treat you," Qin Kaize replied, his gaze growing colder. His expression seemed to convey a sour note of bitterness.

Ke Zeming quickly grasped the situation and jokingly raised an eyebrow. "Alright, I’ll go to the hospital first for treatment. If the hospital can’t help, I’ll come find you, sister-in-law."

It made sense to him; Qin Kaize’s new wife wouldn’t want to discuss fertility issues with him all the time. He couldn’t blame her either.

"By the way, sister-in-law, what do you plan to do with that medicine? Besides skin whitening, does this traditional Chinese medicine have any other uses?" Ke Zeming asked casually.

This immediately put Su Yijia on guard, and she watched him with her long, lowered eyelashes. Ke Zeming quickly raised his hands innocently, saying, "I’m not trying to steal your medicine. We’re on the same side, so it doesn’t matter what you do; you won’t let anyone else take it. I was just curious about what kind of medicine requires such precious ingredients. That 300-year-old ginseng is worth 1,500, and I’m guessing it might be hard to break even with this medicine."

"In the eyes of those who don’t need it, it may seem worthless, but for those who do, it’s worth more than a fortune. Plus, the remaining ingredients in that prescription add up to nearly 2,000 yuan," Su Yijia replied. She wasn’t someone who kept things hidden. She had the skills and she wanted her trusted people to know about it, so she could use them without any hesitation.

"So, this medicine will cost a total of 3,500 yuan? Will it grant eternal life or something?" Gao Huabin was stunned and distressed. He was truly heartbroken over the money. 3,500 yuan was a significant amount for them, considering that their boss only earned 25 yuan a month after retiring.

This amount of money was equivalent to 140 months, nearly twelve years’ worth of savings for them. However, Gao Huabin kept his grievances to himself and wouldn’t dare to show any discontent in front of Su Yijia. He was afraid of damaging the relationship between his sister-in-law and the boss.

"No, it’s Great Strength Pills. According to the formula, it should work, but I’m not certain yet. This time, I can make ten pills. One pill should be enough to test its effectiveness," Su Yijia explained. However, her words did little to convince the two men. Great Strength Pills, take one and become incredibly strong? It sounded too much like a scam.

"In any case, I’ve only collected the ginseng for the medicine. I plan to start by selling the Whitening Lotion and use the money to buy the rest of the ingredients," Su Yijia quickly laid out her money-making plan to avoid appearing extravagant.

"If it can whiten the skin, it should be easy to make money. The girls in our village who have been to the city, as well as the village girls, work hard to get fairer skin. They even save to buy a 2.5 yuan bottle of Snowflake Cream, especially in the two months leading up to their weddings. They consider it a must-have to look good on their big day," Gao Huabin agreed. However, considering the cost of the Snowflake Cream, how much would they need to sell to make back 3,500 yuan?

"Sister-in-law, didn’t you say you were making another product? Can’t you sell that as well?" Gao Huabin was keen to recoup the money spent by his big brother and wanted to sell anything that Su Yijia had created.

"I can sell it, but we need to have our own people try it first, as it’s medicine," Su Yijia frowned.

"What’s it for? We know many people, and we can find someone to test it for you right now," Gao Huabin’s tone was still a bit urgent.

"Huabin, don’t rush her. Your sister-in-law knows what she’s doing," Ke Zeming observed Su Yijia’s uneasy mood and immediately whispered to Gao Huabin.

Gao Huabin paused, then realized that his impatient attitude might be putting pressure on Su Yijia and adding to her burden.

"Sister-in-law, I’m sorry! I can be a bit foolish and impulsive. Don’t mind me; do your thing. I don’t understand anything; I’m just asking questions," he apologized, embarrassed.

"It’s okay. I know these medicines are really expensive, and it’s normal for you to be concerned," Su Yijia said, her mood relaxing. She smiled at them, "The other medicine I’ve been preparing for the last two days is a Functional Restoration Elixir, or you can call it a Functional Restoration Ointment. When it’s in liquid form, you can take it internally, and when it’s dry, you can apply it externally. It can be used to treat long-term physical fatigue, injuries, or even irreversible organ damage that may occur after illness."

Because it would be ingested, everyone was more cautious about this medicine. So she had dried all of it into an ointment, which was currently covered in a yellow enamel bowl.

"Anything can be treated? What about bone injuries?" Ke Zeming’s expression suddenly became serious, and he seemed almost like he was interrogating her.

"Yes, it can. Apply it to the injured bone three times a day, rub it in until it heats up and is completely absorbed. If you use it for a full thirty days, it can completely cure the bone injury," Su Yijia explained the detailed usage process.

This medicine was excellent in terms of both price and application. However, it did take a bit of time, a whole month for a complete recovery, which was indeed a little long.

"I can do it! My back was injured, which is why I changed my job. I can use it for a month to test its effectiveness," Gao Huabin immediately volunteered to be a guinea pig for Su Yijia.

However, Su Yijia blinked her eyes innocently, "Well, you’ll need to find Zhu Zirui first. We need him to get some clean bottles to store the ointment, or else if you dig in three times a day, you’ll dirty the whole bowl."

"I’ll call him right away," Gao Huabin said without hesitation and turned to leave.

Su Yijia watched his hurried departure and couldn’t help but shake her head with a wry smile. When she turned around, she noticed that Ke Zeming was looking at her with a gaze hiding more unspoken words.
