I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 606: Fragrance of Medicine Entices

This private dining restaurant doesn't take orders; you just tell the waiter your preferences, like sweet or salty, mild or very spicy.

Zhao Xiaodao let Lu Zheng make the decision, and he didn't stand on ceremony, simply asked the kitchen for a few classic Shandong dishes.

Once the waiter poured tea for everyone and then discreetly left, Lu Zheng reached into his pocket and placed a porcelain bottle on the table, asking earnestly, "Are you sure you don't want to reconsider? This is my first time making it, and it's really an unverified product, with unknown side effects."

Zhao Xiaodao took the porcelain bottle with a mischievous smile and said, "Brother Lu, you're just testing me. I'm not stupid; do you think I didn't notice Sister Wan's surprise?"

Goodness, still calling her Sister Wan—this big celebrity really knows how to humble herself.

It's true, Zhao Xiaodao initially wanted to apprentice; she hasn't even taken a lower status yet, so it's a win for her.

Lu Zheng smiled slightly and made a gesture of invitation. Zhao Xiaodao then uncorked the bottle and poured out an elixir about one centimeter in diameter, pure white as jade, with milky cloud patterns on the surface.

The moment the elixir left the bottle, a hint of fragrant medicinal aroma filled the room and even wafted out through the door crack.

"Smells so nice!" Zhao Xiaodao was shocked.

Lin Wan hastily said, "Quickly eat it before the effect dissipates."

Frightened, Zhao Xiaodao quickly put the elixir in her mouth, raised the teacup, then hesitated, mumbling with the elixir in her mouth, "Can I drink it down with tea?"

Lu Zheng nodded and couldn't help but laugh, "Sure, sure, even a beverage will do."

Zhao Xiaodao quickly drank a gulp of water, swallowing the elixir.

"Gulp! Done!" After swallowing the elixir, she breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest without causing much of a stir.

Lu Zheng smirked, nodding again, "The effect will take some time to show. Check how you feel tomorrow morning."

"Alright!" Zhao Xiaodao sniffed, although the elixir had been consumed, there was still a lingering fragrance in the porcelain bottle, prompting her to ask, "Why does this elixir smell so good? The aroma makes me want to eat it."

"It's because the elixir is made with high-quality ingredients," Lu Zheng replied matter-of-factly.

This elixir was created by him in the Great Jing Dynasty, using wild herbs sourced from Renxin Hall. Although he didn't use any spirit medicines, they were all century-old high-quality herbs, mixed with some Stalactite Essence, definitely spiritual materials.

A bit of spiritual material combined with the Youthful Appearance Pill recipe's ingredients, refined with True Qi, it's no longer the lowest-grade mortal beauty medicine.

"Is that so?" Zhao Xiaodao blinked, not fully understanding but impressed.

Lin Wan looked at Lu Zheng, her eyes questioning, "Did you use powerful spirit medicine?"

Lu Zheng responded with a look, "Of course not."

Stalactite Essence, something my family occasionally drinks, what's so special about it as a spirit medicine?

At this moment, there was a rhythmic knocking at the box's door.

"Come in!" Zhao Xiaodao responded, thinking it was the waiter with the food, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Today is quite fast, are there not many guests?"

However, it wasn't a waiter who entered, but an old man leading, followed by a middle-aged man and a couple.

"Brother Chao, Sister Li!"

Zhao Xiaodao quickly stood up, recognizing the couple at the back as Deng Pao Pao and Lady Sun.

"Little Saber?"

Seeing Zhao Xiaodao, the couple was also surprised, "You're in Hai City?"

"Here for a gig, what a coincidence," Zhao Xiaodao laughed.

"Coming to Hai City without looking for us, are you giving me face?" Deng Pao Pao joked.

He had collaborated with Zhao Xiaodao several times, and they got along quite well.

"Only for a day, so I didn't want to disturb you," Zhao Xiaodao explained, then looked at the other two, showing a hint of curiosity.

"Let me make the introductions."

It was impolite to come uninvited, so Deng Pao Pao naturally needed to clarify the situation, "This is Mr. Duan Chengru, a traditional medicine master who has returned from Beidu last year. This is Mr. Duan Yu Kai, chairman of the Nansheng Pharmaceutical Group."

"Hello everyone!" Zhao Xiaodao greeted, and from courtesy, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan also stood and nodded.

"Hello, sorry for the intrusion," Duan Chengru was kindly smiling, first offering an apology, then his gaze landed on the porcelain bottle on the table, making his intention clear.

"While walking past outside, I suddenly caught a whiff of this captivating medicinal aroma, so I followed it here. Might I be bold enough to ask, what medicine was that just now? Could I have a look?"

"Eh?"

Zhao Xiaodao was taken aback, not expecting Duan Chengru to request this. She didn't dare to answer and instinctively looked at Lu Zheng.

Actually, when Duan Chengru entered, Lu Zheng had already figured out his identity; the faint herbal scent was unmistakable.

It's normal for a doctor to have curiosity about unfamiliar medicines. Lu Zheng understood, but it didn't mean he had to divulge it.

"It's a simple detoxifying and beautifying pill, nothing significant, just something I made for fun, and Zhao Xiaodao has already eaten it."

Zhao Xiaodao nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I've already consumed it."

The pill clearly wasn't simple, and perhaps even unspeakable, Zhao Xiaodao felt lucky for having eaten it swiftly.

"What? It's already consumed?" Duan Chengru was somewhat taken aback, instinctively asking, "Just one?"

Lu Zheng nodded, "Just one."

"Then..."

Hearing this, Duan Chengru nodded, a touch of disappointment evident. Despite lingering curiosity, he wouldn't insist and prepared to take his leave.

"May I ask if you don't have any more with you, or if there simply aren't any left?"

Duan Yu Kai asked abruptly as Duan Chengru gave up, "If you don't have it with you, could we arrange a time for my father to take a look?"

Seeing Zhao Xiaodao's discomfort, Duan Yu Kai suddenly became suspicious, looking at Lu Zheng and Lin Wan with vigilance and disdain.

Duan Yu Kai's words were quite disrespectful, causing Lu Zheng to frown, "What if I don't have it? What if it's simply gone?"

Duan Yu Kai snorted coldly, "Any medicine is three parts poison. Sir, has your self-made pill undergone pharmacological and toxicological evaluations? Does it have approval documents? Has it undergone clinical trials? Are there experimental reports?"

Lu Zheng, "..."

Seeing Lu Zheng's speechless reaction, Duan Yu Kai continued indifferently, "Without any of those, you dare give it to someone of Miss Zhao's stature. How did you assure her?"

At this point, Duan Yu Kai sneered, "Is it really just detoxifying and beautifying? Or maybe it's about staying youthful and permanently young?"

Lu Zheng was speechless, are you an immortal?

Although he only mentioned its skincare use to Zhao Xiaodao, the elixir's true effects were certainly more than just the words implied.

Upon hearing Duan Yu Kai's questioning of Lu Zheng, before Lin Wan could speak, Zhao Xiaodao already burst out.

"Mr. Duan, watch your words. Brother Lu is my guest, and I trust him. Also, this is my reserved box, and I won't allow anyone to doubt my guest here. You're not welcome, please leave!"
