Chapter 220 Last Day Of The Exchange

Joseph thought to himself, “You sure know how to dream. Dream on then. There’s everything in the dream.” Without showing it on his face, he said, “I said that I won’t take in disciples anymore. If I could take in disciples, why would I need to trouble my disciple to teach on my behalf? Alright, I’m tired. I want to take a nap. Gwen, go home. Send my regards to your grandfather.” Seeing that Joseph was chasing him away, Gwen panicked and immediately said, “Old Mr. Quigley, it’s okay. I can be your disciple. Anyway, I’m doing this to learn from traditional medicine so that I can help the people of Chanaea in the future.

“However, Old Mr. Quigley, I’m now a representative of modern medicine. Let’s not publicize the matter of me being your grand-disciple, okay? After I’m done with the matters at hand, I’ll immediately come back and focus on learning from you in a systematic manner.” She decided not to make it public for now. First, she would follow Joseph’s disciple and learn Joseph’s inherited acupuncture techniques. In addition, she would ask about Energizing Pills.

There were rumors on Jadeborough’s side that the Energizing Pills were most likely refined by Joseph. After becoming the disciple of Joseph’s disciple, as long as they were familiar with each other, it would be easy to ask about this matter. “Gwen, I’ve thought about it, but I still don’t think it’s appropriate. When the time comes, your grandfather will call me and berate me for bullying his precious granddaughter.” Joseph deliberately refused.

As expected, Gwen panicked and said, “That won’t happen, Old Mr. Quigley. If my grandfather knows that I have become your grand-disciple, he would be overjoyed. After all, at my age, I’m also old enough to be your granddaughter. I wonder when I can meet my master.” She hoped it would be soon. “My disciple is coming over tomorrow. I’ll introduce you two then,” Joseph said meaningfully. “Alright, thank you, grandmaster.” Gwen was shrewd enough to call Joseph grandmaster.

“Alright, I’ll take a nap. I’m old and useless now. I’ll be sleepy if I sit down and wake up if I lie down. Sigh, it’s going to be difficult,” Joseph said. Gwen waited for an opportunity to curry favor. “Grandmaster, I prepared some meds for you. Make something out of them. It’s good for your health.” “Okay, thank you.” “Grandmaster, you’re too kind. I won’t disturb your rest then. See you tomorrow.” Gwen immediately stood up and bode him farewell. “Okay, see you tomorrow!” There was still a surprise for Gwen tomorrow.

Annalise spent the entire afternoon refining the Vigor Consolidating Pill. It took more than five hours. She was sweating profusely from exhaustion. In order for medicinal ingredients to be completely evenly heated, she shook the clay pot until her hands got so sore that they almost fell like someone else’s. Julian’s heart ached. Seeing Annalise’s focused expression, he did not dare to disturb her.

He even wiped her sweat carefully, afraid that it would affect her. The Vigor Consolidating Pill’s requirements for medicinal ingredients and temperature were higher than that of the Energizing Pill. Annalise failed to refine the first and second pots of pills. It was dark, and a portion of the medicinal ingredients was considered damaged, not reaching medicinal ingredients’s potential. The quality was not good, so she put them aside.

It was not completely unusable. Even when they wouldn’t form pills, one could still use pill-formers to manually craft them into pills with some addition of medicine. It was just that the effect would be slightly worse. She was a person with extremely high expectations. The more she failed, the bolder she became. After failing. twice, she summarized the reason for her failure and started the third, fourth, and fifth pots. After more than five hours, the third, fourth, and fifth pots were all of good quality. The medicinal fragrance was also very strong.

Even a layman like Julian felt very refreshed every time he smelled the medicinal fragrance. After refining the fifth pot, he asked, “Is it done?” “Yes,” Annalise replied. The third, fourth, and fifth pots had already formed pills. Each pot had better effects than the last. The third pot had seven elixir pills, followed by eight and nine in the subsequent pots. Together, they could fit into a jar.

When Julian saw that Annalise was done, he immediately wiped her sweat and brought her warm water to drink. He then massaged her arm and asked with concern, “Your hand is sore, right?” “Yes,” Annalise replied. Julian said, “Actually, there’s no need to get so many done at once. We can just take our time to do it later.” Annalise said, “We still have to finish it in one go because we don’t know when we will have time in the future.” The other reason was being in the zone.

Having summarized the experience of the first two pots, she suddenly got into the zone, so she immediately refined more to consolidate what she learned. She removed the clay pot to disperse the heat. Seeing that the heat was almost gone, she took out elixir pills one by one, wrapped it in small paper, and put it in a jar. “Go sit on the couch. I’ll massage your legs,” Julian said. “I want to take a shower first.” Annalise was sweating and felt a little uncomfortable. “You’re still sweating. Why don’t you wash it later? I can massage your legs.”

She had been standing for more than five hours. She wondered how sore her legs were. Massaging the legs would ease the pain in her leg, preventing them from hurting the next day. “Actually, you don’t have to. I’m in good health,” Annalise said. She could still withstand this intensity. “Be good, I’ll give you a massage.” Julian insisted on pulling Annalise into the couch.

Then, he placed Annalise’s leg on his lap and massaged it for her. He said gently, “Relax. If you’re tired, sleep for a while.” Annalise was indeed sleepy. Once Julian massaged her legs, she felt comfortable and closed her eyes to sleep. Julian looked at Anna who was sleeping soundly. The corners of his lips curled into a smile, and his massage became gentler.

He thought that with his beloved by his side, life does indeed seem peaceful. Julian realized that he was especially pure-hearted at this moment. He only wanted Annalise to relax and sleep to release her fatigue. He had no intention of tormenting her at all. Time flew by.. The next day was the end of the exchange between representatives of traditional and modern medicine. This day was more lively than any other day in the past.

That was because this was the day of the results of the competition. It was also the day when the results of the bets would be revealed. Many people had bet all of their wealth into it, just to get rich. That was why they were excited and nervous. Henry was extremely excited. “Last five minutes, last five minutes. Anyone else want to bet?”

Gwen was also very happy. Today, she could meet Joseph’s disciple, who Joseph said was more talented than Jonathan. Yesterday, she went back and told Leo about this matter. When Leo heard that she could find out the source. of Energizing Pill, he immediately asked her to stay. Leo would help her solve everything on the side of modern medicine and even that at her school.

“Old Mr. Quigley!” Upon seeing Joseph, Gwen immediately went up to him. Seeing that Joseph only had Jonathan and not Annalise by his side, she sneered in her heart again. “Look, Jonathan only dared to give Annalise face outside. That title of junior sister is utterly worthless.” She thought. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

She figured that when Jonathan was really in front of Joseph, he did not dare to let Annalise come out to meet the old man. “Gwen, you’re here,” Joseph greeted her politely. Gwen smiled and nodded at Jonathan. He then looked at Joseph. Joseph smiled and said, “Let’s get down to business later. Announce the results of the competition first, then we shall arrange for you to become someone’s disciple.”
