Chapter 365: Chapter 364: The Value of the Prescription

"Heehee, let me tell you, Lin Tian, my sister and I have always had similar hobbies since we were little. She also really likes fruit juice, so if one day you upset her, buying her some juice is definitely the right move, and it’d be even better if you could make it yourself," Xiao Manxuan said with a giggle, seeing that her sister was no longer angry.

Xiao Manxue gave her a glare upon hearing this and said annoyed, "Don’t tell him that."

Despite saying so, Xiao Manxue still took the juice her sister handed her, put away the longsword, and then sat down on the sofa.

Lin Tian, looking at the two stunning sisters, asked very cheekily, "Second Miss, what if you and your sister fall for the same man in the future?"

After asking, Lin Tian immediately regretted it. How could he ask such a question in front of the two sisters? Miss was sure to lose her temper. He was not afraid of fighting, but he was afraid that the stubborn Miss would never let it end.

To his surprise, Miss didn’t get angry. She simply said lightly, "I won’t let that kind of thing happen."

Xiao Manxuan just blinked and didn’t say anything.

Lin Tian scoffed at Miss’s words. Just by saying it, it would happen? Matters of the heart are the most unpredictable, not even God can control them, let alone you, a mere mortal.

He didn’t bring up the topic again, instead he said, "Miss, when I said I was looking for you earlier, I actually do have something important to discuss."

"What is it? Did you cause trouble outside?" Xiao Manxue glanced at him with a half-smile.

Miss really does understand me, but it’s not trouble I’ve stirred up, it’s the Japanese, Lin Tian thought with a secretive smile, took out his phone, and then corrected the fake parts of the prescription, choosing to send only half of it to Xiao Manxue.

With a "ding-dong", Xiao Manxue took out her phone in confusion, saw that it was a message from Lin Tian, gave him a look, and opened the message curiously.

"Is this a prescription?" Xiao Manxue asked in wonder after just one glance.

"Miss has really sharp eyes indeed, yes, this is a prescription," Lin Tian praised.

"Sister, what kind of prescription is this? Let me see," Xiao Manxuan also leaned in curiously to look, but was doomed not to understand, she whispered, "Such strange ingredients, I’ve never even heard of them."

Not just you, even real doctors might not have seen these ingredients, Lin Tian found her serious contemplative look amusing.

"Lin Tian, this prescription seems incomplete, are you asking me to help you find the complete one?" Xiao Manxue frowned and thought about it, then asked curiously.

"How did you know the prescription is incomplete? Have you seen it?" Lin Tian was taken aback and asked in surprise.

"This prescription only has the ingredients and quantities, but there’s no method of preparation, so it’s obviously not a complete prescription," Xiao Manxue explained.

"I see, I’m not asking you to find a complete prescription, I’m asking for your cooperation," Lin Tian said earnestly.

"Cooperate with what? I still don’t know what this prescription is for," Xiao Manxue was even more puzzled and said. However, she knew Lin Tian wouldn’t joke about serious matters, so she waited for him to continue.

"First, I’ll tell you where the recipe comes from, then you can evaluate its value, and after that, we can talk about cooperation," Lin Tian said with a slight smile.

Ever since he learned that the Japanese had this healing medicine, he had been thinking of getting his hands on the recipe. If the medicine could be mass-produced, the immense value it could generate was incalculable.

"Here’s what happened: after I healed Zuo Hongyi, as a token of gratitude, they gave me a clubhouse at the leisure center. The Japanese also wanted it, so they came to me, and we had some disagreements. I ended up injuring one of them, something the Second Miss is aware of," Lin Tian roughly explained.

Xiao Manxue looked at her sister, and Xiao Manxuan nodded, saying, "Yes, and we met at Tianfu Restaurant, too."

"Are you talking about the people from Rizhao Group?" Xiao Manxue asked, her brow furrowing lightly. "Recently, Rizhao Group has been acquiring high-quality resources everywhere; I guess they’re the ones who approached you."

"That’s right, it’s them. They came to target my bar again tonight, and I noticed that the man I injured was there. His broken bones hadn’t healed, but his other skin injuries seemed to have almost completely recovered. In less than a day, the healing medicine they used was made from this recipe," Lin Tian brought up, still somewhat amazed.

"Less than a day? A martial artist using their own True Qi can achieve that. But for a medicine to have this effect is quite remarkable, even for martial artists. A recipe like that is something they’d dream of, achieving the same healing effect without expending any True Qi," Xiao Manxue said excitedly. Being a martial artist herself, she knew the recipe’s value all too well.

"Then, did you make a bet with the Japanese and win the recipe?" Xiao Manxuan interjected.

True to her status as the Second Miss, she had guessed seventy percent correctly. Lin Tian had to admit, the little girl was indeed sharp—it was no wonder she was an all-around academic star at school.

"You’re right about the bet, but it was the Japanese who wanted my bar, and they were the ones who initiated the challenge. Here’s what happened..." Lin Tian recalled the incident and relayed the details of what occurred in the bar to the sisters.

Of course, he couldn’t reveal that he had the ability to discern the true recipe, so Lin Tian skipped over the parts involving his own secrets and shared everything else he could.

The sisters listened, wide-eyed; they hadn’t expected such a thrilling showdown to take place at the bar that night. Though it wasn’t a battle between martial artists, the excitement was no less intense.

Whether it was the burning Hell Tequila or the Naga Viper, both were dangerous substances. Xiao Manxue hadn’t tried them herself, but she understood that even martial artists wouldn’t dare attempt them lightly.

"Lin Tian, I’m very curious, what realm have you reached in your practice? It seems like the Innate Realm, yet it doesn’t. Your body has an air of being invulnerable to thousands of evils and untouched by any law. It’s such an odd sensation," Xiao Manxue said, batting her eyelashes earnestly.

I’m a zombie, of course I’m impervious to all evil. Is there anything more sinister than a zombie in this world? Lin Tian chuckled inwardly.

"Miss, it doesn’t matter what realm I’m at, do you think the recipe has value for cooperation?" Lin Tian cut straight to the point, interrupting her thoughts to avoid her veering off-topic.

"Of course, it’s invaluable. Similar recipes exist within the martial circles of Huaxia, but martial artists keep them secret and treasure them, not letting outsiders know. You can imagine how precious your recipe is," Xiao Manxue stated confidently.

"Perhaps you’ve misunderstood my intentions. The medicine produced from our cooperation, I want to bring to society at large, not just to martial artists," Lin Tian clarified.

"Of course, I understand. I was simply making a comparison earlier. If it wasn’t meant for the public, there would be no point in partnering with me," Xiao Manxue glanced at him with a smile.

"But, Lin Tian, sister, the ingredients in the recipe aren’t commonly available. How can we produce it in large quantities? If we can’t produce it on a large scale, how can we introduce it to the market?" Xiao Manxuan recognized the crux of the issue and voiced her doubts.
