The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 805 - 801: Gathering Medicinal Ingredients

The high-ranking officials gathered in the room were somewhat familiar with Ye Chenfeng’s superb medical skills. The situation in Nangang had them unable to eat or sleep, and these long-time leaders’ faces were filled with weariness. Seeing Ye Chenfeng appear in the conference room, and hearing Duan Nan’s excited voice, their looks toward Ye Chenfeng were like a big gray wolf eying a little white rabbit.

Yu Fengnian, sitting at the head of the table, felt a slight relief in his heart, stood up from his chair, and, facing Ye Chenfeng, his face revealed a kind smile as he said, "Chenfeng, you really had us looking for you! Thank goodness you came back in time. It seems like there might be hope for Nangang’s epidemic."

Before this, when Hospital Director Duan Nan of the Capital Military Region suggested that they invite Ye Chenfeng to join them, the high-ranking officials had all nodded in agreement, knowing of his exceptional medical skills. But in the end, Ye Chenfeng had already gone to the Ancient Martial World, and no one was able to make contact with him.

As far as the high-ranking officials of Huaxia Country were concerned, the Ancient Martial World was very mysterious. Since Ye Chenfeng had entered the Ancient Martial World, they had no means of contacting him.

"Chenfeng, you’re truly the savior of Huaxia Country! Right now, the contagious disease in Nangang cannot be effectively controlled, and the death toll is rising. So we must quickly develop a cure for this disease; otherwise, I fear the whole of Nangang might fall," Yang Yuan said solemnly.

The rest of the high-ranking officials in the room, including Elder Ye and Elder Wu, all focused their gaze on Ye Chenfeng, waiting for him to give a definite answer.

"Ah!" Ye Chenfeng sighed heavily in his heart. At this point, even if he didn’t want to go to Nangang, he had no choice, right? Besides, he, too, had the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang, could he watch Nangang fall to a contagion with his eyes wide open? And it was clear that the Islanders were behind this.

Originally, Ye Chenfeng had planned to return to Capital City and first concoct a remedy for Han Chuxue to relieve the aftereffects of a forbidden technique. He now had three stalks of Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass in his possession; however, to concoct this remedy, he still needed seven types of medicinal ingredients, including Hundred-Year Ginseng and Hundred-Year Ganoderma, all of which had to be at least a hundred years old.

Compared to the Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass, the other seven ingredients were very precious but existed in the Secular World even though hundred-year-old specimens were rare. For example, the Hundred-Year Ginseng was priceless, and at auction in the Secular World, it could fetch at least a few million.

Ye Chenfeng would need some time to gather the other seven hundred-year-old medicinal ingredients on his own in the Secular World, but weren’t those old men present the top-tier individuals of Huaxia Country? It should be much faster for them to collect these seven types of hundred-year-old medicinal ingredients.

"Cough, cough!"

Ye Chenfeng cleared his throat and said, "I can spend one week in Nangang, and I guarantee to control the contagion there within that week, but this will delay my original plans. I wonder if the esteemed elders here would be willing to help me with something?"

Although Ye Chenfeng still didn’t know exactly what kind of contagious disease was spreading in Nangang, he believed that with his current level of medical skills, there should be no incurable diseases that could stump him.

Seeing that Ye Chenfeng had agreed and confidently assured that he could control the contagion in Nangang within a week, the high-ranking officials in the room were overjoyed. Elder Ye said, "Chenfeng, what do you need us to help you with? As long as it doesn’t conflict with the national interest, we old men can do it for you."

"Grandpa, it’s really just some minor matters. I just need the elders here to help me collect some medicinal ingredients in the shortest time possible. Ideally, I’d like to have all the ingredients I need by the time I return to Capital City next time," Ye Chenfeng casually mentioned.

Upon hearing this, Yu Fengnian patted his chest and guaranteed, "Chenfeng, you just need some medicinal ingredients, right? That’s very simple! Just tell us what you need."

"Then I want to thank Elder Yu in advance," Ye Chenfeng said with a sly smile. "I need three stalks of Hundred-Year Ginseng, three stalks of Hundred-Year Ganoderma, Hundred-Year..."

The reason why Ye Chenfeng was preparing three sets of ingredients was as a precaution. This was about Han Chuxue’s life, and besides, Ye Chenfeng also happened to have three stalks of Hundred-Year Ten-Leaf Grass, enough to concoct three doses of the remedy.

Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng list off a series of hundred-year-old medicinal herbs, and requiring three of each kind, the high-ranking figures in the room felt their muscles twitch involuntarily. Yu Fengnian now wished he could smack his own mouth for rashly assuring everyone earlier—why did he even do that?

It was known that to gather the herbs Ye Chenfeng needed would cost at least forty to fifty million, not to mention that many of the century-old herbs couldn’t necessarily be bought even with money.

Both Elder Ye and Elder Wu naturally sided with Ye Chenfeng. They knew the herbs Ye Chenfeng requested must be for something crucial. The straightforward Elder Wu addressed Yang Yuan directly, "Old Yang, I’ve long heard that your family has a Hundred-Year Ginseng. Now that Chenfeng needs it, it’s the perfect opportunity for you to contribute."

Although Yang Yuan felt some pain at the thought, he was quite forthright, "If it were anyone else asking, I might not agree, but I have to give face to Chenfeng. That kid is the future hope of our Huaxia Country! What’s a Hundred-Year Ginseng? Even if it were a Thousand-Year Ginseng, as long as Chenfeng needs it, I wouldn’t even blink an eye before giving it."

"Old Yang, it seems you are quite generous! I’ve heard about the fine wines you’ve collected over the years. One of these days, I’ll bring Chenfeng around to your place for a taste," Elder Wu said with a chuckle.

"An Guo, stop eyeing Old Yang’s treasures. Even I haven’t had the chance to taste them when I visit his home!" Yu Fengnian joked.

Yang Yuan responded heartily, "As long as Chenfeng visits the Yangs, I’ll surely bring out my prized possessions."

Then, the smile on Yang Yuan’s face grew even brighter as he said, "I’m just worried that Elder Wu wouldn’t dare to bring Chenfeng to visit my place. If Chenfeng really comes, not only will I take out my treasures, but I’ll also have my granddaughters take good care of Chenfeng."

"Hahaha—"

At Yang Yuan’s remark, the other high-level figures also burst into hearty laughter. Since the incident in Nangang, they had all been wearing frowns, so it could be said that this laughter was entirely brought to them by Ye Chenfeng.

"Chenfeng, it just so happens that I have a Hundred-Year Ganoderma at home, and I’ll give it to you," said one elder.

"Chenfeng, at my place there is..."

After Yang Yuan’s donation of a Hundred-Year Ginseng to Ye Chenfeng, the other high-tier figures also started making their offers.

In just a short time, the ingredients needed to concoct an antidote had been gathered. Seeing these dear elder figures in front of him, Ye Chenfeng also felt his mood lift.

In Huaxia Country, probably only Ye Chen would think of these top-tier personages as adorable old men. After all, these elders typically carried themselves with such imposing authority—who else would dare to be so casual in their presence?

"Chenfeng, rest assured, we’ll help you collect these herbs first, and by the time you return next, we’ll have gathered the rest," Yu Fengnian said with a smile.

"Chenfeng, it just so happens that I have an old friend in Nangang. I was on the phone with him just the other day! This old friend of mine always enjoys collecting precious herbs, and in five days it will be his 70th birthday. You could visit him on my behalf, and I’ll let him know beforehand. At his place, let alone hundred-year-old herbs; he might even have thousand-year-old herbs," Elder Ye proposed.

"Okay, Grandpa, if I have time when I go to Nangang, I’ll visit your old friend," Ye Chenfeng agreed.

"Master, let’s not talk about collecting herbs for now, I happen to have a Hundred-Year Ganoderma at home, too. Once we return to Capital City, I’ll give it to you. Master, you’d better come to Nangang immediately so that I can have peace of mind sooner," said Duan Nan, the director of the Capital Military Region Hospital, on the screen. He had witnessed Ye Chenfeng’s medical miracles multiple times, so he was convinced that his master, Ye Chenfeng, would once again perform a miracle this time. (To be continued.
