Extraordinary Medical Saint in the City
Chapter 56: Elixirs are divided into Ninth Grade, each Grade is One Layer Heaven!

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Elixirs are divided into Ninth Grade, each Grade is One Layer Heaven!

Gai Ruoyan’s hand holding the Jade Bottle trembled slightly, her excitement beyond measure.

"Indeed, this is an Essence Nourishing Pill, refined from over a hundred kinds of medicinal materials!" Lin Fan nodded slightly.

"Mr. Lin, may I ask what grade is this Elixir?"

Gai Ruoyan’s slender jade fingers clutched the Jade Bottle tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from the excitement.

"Sixth Grade." Lin Fan said calmly.

"Hiss!"

Even with her mental preparation, Gai Ruoyan couldn’t help but inhale sharply, her breathing hastened, staring at Lin Fan with incredulous wide eyes!

"Sixth Grade... it’s actually—Sixth Grade!"

Elixirs are classified into nine grades, each grade a leap like ascending through the different layers of heaven!

Third Grade makes a master, Sixth Grade a king, Ninth Grade the supreme!

An ordinary Pill Master would typically craft elixirs of around Third Grade at best. Even the Imperial Physicians of the Gu Family usually make Fourth Grade elixirs, and if lucky, they might produce Fifth Grade elixirs.

A Fifth Grade elixir is already enough to drive those wealthy bidders at the auction crazy, clambering over each other for a chance to purchase!

Even a single Fifth Grade elixir can fetch a terrifyingly high price of twenty to thirty million!

Sixth Grade elixir, this is something only a Dan King can refine!

One must know that even for the Wan Family of Lin State, a fearsome elixir lineage that’s been passed down for three hundred years with ancestors who served as Imperial Physicians, they only have a single Dan King!

And in a Holy Land like Medicine God Palace, there are only three Dan Kings as well!

The existence of an elixir signifies the ability to transform an ordinary family into a powerful and rich clan overnight, with countless wealthy individuals flocking towards them. High-ranking officials and nobles would come incessantly, enough to trample down your doorstep!

What’s more, if a family has a Dan King, it can almost guarantee that the family will prosper and not decline for a hundred years, securing a spot among the century-old elite families!

There’s an utmost truth in the Elixir Medicine World: It’s better to have one Dan King than ten Generals!

The message is simple: a family would rather have one Dan King than ten Generals!

This shows the immense value of a Dan King!

"Whew!"

Gai Ruoyan forcibly calmed her excitement, took a deep breath, and asked Lin Fan solemnly, "Mr. Lin, may I know the effects of this elixir?"

"It can extend the life of an ordinary person by three years! However, it can only be taken once. Taking it a second time will have no effect." Lin Fan explained calmly.

"Hiss—!"

Even though Gai Ruoyan had braced herself, she still couldn’t help but gasp again, her hand holding the Jade Bottle trembling slightly!

Extend life by three years!

Could it really extend life by three years?

Three years might not seem long, but for those wealthy individuals on their deathbeds or nearing their end, what would three more years of life signify? They would almost pay any price for it!

If handled well, the value of the elixir inside this small Jade Bottle could be incalculable!

"Lin... cough cough..."

Gai Ruoyan found her throat dry; the fine young lady of the classical Gu Family was slightly losing composure.

"Mr. Lin... apologies, this Elixir is too important. I cannot... cannot decide on my own. I need to consult our Family Head of the Gu Family! Please wait a moment, I’ll be right back! Mr. Lin, if you could please wait again!"

Gai Ruoyan, panting heavily with her chest heaving violently and her pretty face flushed, left these words behind as she clumsily fled the room.

If someone uninformed saw her, they might think something had happened in the room.

...

Upon leaving the boudoir, Gai Ruoyan took out her mobile phone that she always carried with her, dialed two quick calls, and then headed toward a certain exquisite hall.

She waited in the living room for about five minutes.

A middle-aged man in his early fifties, along with an elderly man who appeared to be in his seventies at most, walked into the hall side by side.

"Ruyan, what’s happened that you’re calling for me in such a rush? I was still with guests from Yanjing!"

The middle-aged man’s brows were slightly furrowed.

The seventy-year-old man, however, was much calmer, casually choosing a Taishi Chair to sit down on slowly. Immediately, a cheongsam-clad maid presented him with a cup of tea brewed with morning dew and Bi Luo Chun green tea.

"Dad, take a look at what this is!"

Gai Ruoyan gave a mysterious smile, with a glint of faint brilliance flickering in his eyes.

"Hmm?"

Gu Ronghao frowned and took the Jade Bottle from Gai Ruoyan, opening it with a flick of his hand.

Just as Gu Ronghao opened the Jade Bottle, the entire hall was instantly filled with a rich medicinal fragrance.

"This is..."

The elderly man sitting nearby instantly rose from the Taishi Chair, his eyes fixed on the Jade Bottle in Gu Ronghao’s hand like a hawk.

"Let me have a look!"

The old man stepped forward and reached out for the bottle without any hesitation.

Gu Ronghao instinctively passed the Jade Bottle over, and the old man sniffed it under his nose. Surprisingly, a rosy hue appeared on his weathered face, and his expression became incredibly excited!

"Sixth Grade Elixir! It’s actually a Sixth Grade Elixir!"

The elderly man exclaimed in surprise!

"What? Elder Ye, this is a Sixth Grade Elixir?" Gu Ronghao was also shocked.

"Indeed! It’s absolutely Sixth Grade, and it’s the finest among Sixth Grade Elixirs, just a step away from Seventh Grade!" Elder Ye was as excited as a child.

"Ruyan, hurry and tell us, where did this Elixir come from?"

Elder Ye’s gaze was fiery, he was utterly unconcerned with his image, staring eagerly at Gai Ruoyan!

"Elder Ye..."

Gai Ruoyan didn’t dare to delay and recounted the whole story in detail.

"To think it was brought by a youngster..."

"Just to exchange for some unknown medicinal materials? In my opinion, even giving him those for free wouldn’t matter. But this youngster, we must secure him; who knows, there might actually be a Dan King behind him!" Elder Ye’s face showed utter seriousness.

"Elder Ye, are you certain?" Gu Ronghao was somewhat hesitant.

"Absolutely no mistake!"

Elder Ye nodded firmly, speaking solemnly: "This Elixir is also very fresh; it couldn’t have been refined more than three months ago. This youngster must know a Dan King, and maybe he’s even a direct descendant of a Dan King! Otherwise, how could an ordinary person get a Dan King’s Elixir? And ten pieces at once!"

Elder Ye poured out all the Elixirs from the Jade Bottle, exactly ten pieces, not one more or less!

"That makes sense."

Gu Ronghao nodded. Elixirs refined by a Dan King were rarely seen in the world, and even if they were available, it would only be one or two pieces. Ten pieces appearing all at once was indeed extraordinary!

"By the way, what’s the name of this Elixir?" Elder Ye asked again.

"Dad, Elder Ye, please brace yourselves first! Mr. Lin said it’s called ’Essence Nourishing Pill’, capable of extending a common person’s lifespan by three years!" Gai Ruoyan warned.

"Hiss!"

Despite the mental preparation, the entire hall still heard two sharp intakes of breath!
