Chapter 2264: Chapter 2090: You’re the First One Today_6
Actually, if you want to know the miraculous effect of this elixir and what kind of elixir it is, the method is simple: just eat it to see the effect.
But there is only one of this elixir, once it’s eaten, it’s gone. It would be such a pity if it could grant immortality or allow ten times a night, and it’s gone after consumption.
When Song Xiaodong saved Zhang Dongfang’s father-in-law’s life, he used one elixir, and maybe since then, the old man got interested in them and got this elixir from abroad.
Who knows where the old man found it.
Song Xiaodong thought, why not, just like when he tested the ginseng whiskers in Beijing against Zhang Yanran’s Appraising Master, pick a piece off the elixir to taste and see what miraculous effect it could have.
No sooner said than done, Song Xiaodong tried to scrape it with his fingernail, but it wouldn’t move at all.
So Song Xiaodong took out a silver needle and poked the elixir twice, yet the smooth surface did not even show a trace.
"Could this just be an iron ball?" Song Xiaodong scratched his head.
Song Xiaodong applied force onto the silver needle, which bent under pressure, but the elixir’s surface remained unscathed.
Song Xiaodong thought again and used a pair of pliers to tightly clamp the elixir in the middle, stood at some distance, and flung a silver needle with full force. It flew towards the elixir with a flash of cold light and a loud "ding!"
The silver needle got bounced off, embedding itself in the roof.
Song Xiaodong went up to pick up the elixir and found that it remained unchanged.
This already shows that this elixir is not ordinary.
Song Xiaodong carefully put the elixir away again.
Song Xiaodong may not understand the miraculous effects of this elixir now, but someday he will.
After putting away the elixir, Song Xiaodong called Lu Yaobing.
"Master!"
"Are you free?"
"What for?" Lu Yaobing asked.
"Come to my house."
"What for?" Lu Yaobing recalled the many beautiful wives in Song Xiaodong’s house and felt a bit nervous.
"I found a job for you." Song Xiaodong said to Lu Yaobing.
"Master, you’re finding jobs for me again; I couldn’t even handle Director Qiao’s illness last time!" Lu Yaobing replied.
"It’s not your fault, treating scars can be quite tricky, but this time it’s much simpler." Song Xiaodong said.
"Really?"
"Yes, if you have time in the afternoon, come to the Su Family Courtyard to find me."
"Okay."
Lu Yaobing came to the Su Family Courtyard to find Song Xiaodong.
Li Sijie greeted.
"Have some water."
"Thank you, Teacher’s Wife!" Lu Yaobing nodded politely.
"What are you calling me that for, you’re making me sound old. Just call me Sis!" Li Sijie said to Lu Yaobing.
"Alright."
"Wait a moment, your master is tinkering with his junk again; I’ll go get him."
Li Sijie went to find Song Xiaodong.
"The disciple is here so soon?" Song Xiaodong asked Lu Yaobing.
"Yes."
"You don’t have class?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"I do..."
"So you skipped class to come?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"Um..." Lu Yaobing lowered her head and nodded.
"Really irresponsible, why didn’t you tell me you had class?" Song Xiaodong criticized.
"If I told you I had class, you wouldn’t let me come, right?" Lu Yaobing said softly.
"Oh, you little sly fox." Li Sijie laughed at Lu Yaobing.
"Perfect timing, I’ll give you an address, go find Secretary Niu and say I sent you to do acupuncture for him." Song Xiaodong said to Lu Yaobing.
"Secretary Niu? Is he an official?" Lu Yaobing asked.
"Yes, don’t be afraid, you’re a physician, no matter how big his office is, he’s just a patient, what are you afraid of?" Song Xiaodong said.
"Master, why aren’t you going?" Lu Yaobing asked again.
"What, are you afraid your master will set you up?" Li Sijie laughed and asked.
"No, no..." Lu Yaobing quickly waved her hands.
"But you’re right to be cautious, your master has many tricks up his sleeve, it’s good to be careful, make sure you keep your guard up." Li Sijie said with implication.
"Sis, my master is not a bad person, my master is a good person!"
"That’s because you’re young." Li Sijie said, looking at Song Xiaodong.
"I’m not that young!" Lu Yaobing pouted.
"Ahem, I’m not going because you can handle this disease on your own, so no need for me to go. Isn’t that what disciples are for?" Song Xiaodong said to Lu Yaobing.
"What kind of master are you?"
Then Lu Yaobing went to see Secretary Niu to treat him.
As soon as Lu Yaobing left, Song Xiaodong was about to continue with alchemy when a Su family guard came to inform him that a woman was requesting a meeting.
It was Secretary Niu’s wife, Xu Jiahui, holding a gift box.
Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but chuckle.
"What are you laughing at? Who’s that?" Li Sijie asked, moving closer.
"It’s the wife of the man my disciple is going to treat, Secretary Niu." Song Xiaodong replied.
"What is she here for?" Li Sijie asked.
"Of course, she’s here to thank me." Song Xiaodong said.
"You’ve only treated him for a day, and she’s already here? Is it that miraculous?" Li Sijie asked.
"Of course!"
The Su Family invited Xu Jiahui in and brought her to the first-floor hall.
Song Xiaodong and Li Sijie came out to receive her.
"Mr. Song, Lady Song, I specifically came today to bring some local specialties from my hometown for you." Xu Jiahui handed the gift box to Li Sijie.
"Sister-in-law, you didn’t have to bring anything!" Song Xiaodong said to Xu Jiahui.
"It’s just some salted duck eggs from our hometown, where double-yolk eggs are abundant, please have a taste, Mr. Song and madams!" Xu Jiahui replied.
"Thank you!" Li Sijie glanced at Song Xiaodong, who nodded, and Li Sijie took the gift.
"Double-yolk eggs, wonderful!" Li Sijie exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes."
"Quickly, brew a pot of tea for sister-in-law." Song Xiaodong instructed Li Sijie.
Li Sijie went to brew tea.
"Sister-in-law, please have a seat." Song Xiaodong invited Xu Jiahui to sit down.
"How does my brother feel after returning home?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"Great, he told me this neck of his, hasn’t felt better in twenty or thirty years, and today, for the first time, there was no pain!" Xu Jiahui said happily.
"Before, he couldn’t even watch TV at home, always lying on the sofa, and the first thing he’d do when coming home was asking me to massage his neck, but after the acupuncture yesterday, he hasn’t complained about neck pain yet!"
