Chapter 449: 449

Spirit Ginseng?

Soup?

There was a pang of fury in Doctor Zhou’s mind just then .

He weighed the plastic bag he was holding to be at least seven to eight catties… and the thing inside was a spirit ginseng? What nonsense was this? Not even most radishes were this large, please!

Being a veteran Chinese medicine doctor, how could Doctor Zhou not know his ginseng?

Could any ginseng be this large?

Moreover, were those not Head and Kidney Pills?

They were more health supplements than medicine, were they not? They could be found in any pharmacy, and cost only several dozen bucks per box—and there would be one free box for every three boxes bought .

And Minister Wang was supposed to be healed with health supplements and carrots?

Sighing and shaking his head, Doctor Zhou said nothing since Jiang He hsd brought those items and was a gesture of his sincerity . Hence, he gently put the plastic bags on the table in front of Wang Hou’s bed .

Jiang He was speechless .

A little irritated, he said, “Doctor Zhou, hurry up and feed Minister Wang the medicine… whatever, I’ll do it myself . ”

Jiang He walked up, picked up the manual, and checked the dosage .

[Dosage: oral intake, wash down with salt water or warm water . Take fifteen pills for each intake, twice per day . ]

“…”

Jiang He was at once stunned .

Fifteen pills at once?

He only had ten pills in his plastic bag .

It’s not even enough for one intake .

Still, these pills were thumbnail-sized, and wouldn’t eating fifteen at once feels a little impractical?

Once would probably fill their stomach with that .

“Wait… How large is a single Head and Kidney Pill originally?” Jiang He came to a realization then . He was aware that some pills were small, and that was probably be the case of the Head and Kidney Pills .

After all, Jiang He did not open the boxes to have a look before he planted them, which was why he did not know how large each pill originally was .

However…

“Minister Wang is a martial elite who could match the best Golden Immortals . Even if my Head and Kidney Pills were strengthened, taking ten of these would not hurt him, would it?”

With that thought, Jiang He took out five more Strengthened Head and Kidney Pills .

The fifteen Strengthened Head and Kidney Pills were each the size of a finger joint . Glancing at the pale complexion of the unconscious Wang Hou, Jiang He opened his mouth and stuffed every last pill inside .

That naturally stunned Doctor Zhou, Secretary Zhou, and Elder Lin .

Doctor Zhou reacted first, and he promptly lunged towards them, crying out in shock, “You can’t do that, Mister Jiang…”

“It’s fine . ”

Jiang He waved his hand to stop Doctor Zhou, chuckling, “Minister Wang is not an average Joe, and his medicine intake is not that demanding . ”

Even before he finished, Wang Hou started convulsing in his bed .

His pale complexion turned purple-red at once .

He was still unconscious, but gagging sounds could be heard from his throat and he appeared to be suffering a lot .

“Minister Wang!”

Doctor Zhou became anxious .

Beside them, Elder Lin and Secretary Zhou came to his side in a flash as well, anxiety filling their face .

Jiang He, on the other hand, said nonchalantly, “No need to panic, everyone . I have experience with this situation .

He helped Wang Hou up and slapped his back loudly .

Gah!

With a gasp, Wang Hou’s breathing eased and his purple-red complexion slowly recovered .

Jiang He then smiled . “He was choking since he ate too many pills at once . It’s nothing important… Secretary Zhou, boil some water—I read from the manual that Head and Kidney Pills need to be consumed with warm water . ”

Secretary Zhou was stunned . “But didn’t he take the pills already?”

And what even was the Head and Kidney Pills?

Doctor Zhou then exclaimed in surprise, “So it really was Head and Kidney Pills… Mister Jiang, that is merely a health supplement, while Minister Wang is wounded in spirits that affects his Yuan Spirit…”

Even before he finished, Secretary Zhou was crying out in surprise nearby, “Look! Minister Wang’s complexion has improved a lot!”

And more than that, Wang Hou was as pale a sheet of paper before, and had bloated after choking on the pills . Now, however, his complexion was a healthy red and improving visibly, his weakened aura now rapidly reinvigorating as well .

Doctor Zhou promptly walked up to check on Wang Hou, but even before he was done, Wang Hou had slowly opened his eyes and exclaimed in surprise, “Huh… Aren’t you Old Zhou?”

“You’re awake, Minister Wang?”

Both Secretary Zhou and Elder Lin promptly greeted him . When Doctor Zhou noticed that Wang Hou wanted to get up, however, he quickly said, “Minsiter Wang, you had just recovered so don’t get up in a rush . Lie down and rest . ”

“It’s fine . ”

Jiang He interrupted, saying, “I concocted the medicine so I know its effect very well . The illness is gone once the medicine takes effect, I assure you . ”

He was not confident before the medicine had taken effect, but now that it had proven useful, why bother?

Jiang He glanced at Wang Hou then .

He could clearly feel an overwhelming aura restored in his body .

His wounded Yuan Spirit was rapidly recovering .

Frowning, Jiang He said, “I don’t recall your condition being that serious before, Minister Wang . ”

“It’s my own fault . ”

Wang Hou smiled bitterly . “I had tried to use the Star Map afterwards and suffered a recoil that hurt my Yuan Spirit . ”

Steeping out of his bed, he threw some random punches into the air and felt no discomfort .

He invoked his Martial Yuan Spirit, and its burly form promptly filled the training room . A profound martial will hence swirled, and even Jiang He felt mildly threatened .

Withdrawing his Yuan Spirit, Wang Hou then laughed out loud . “I managed to get some good out of this setback and my Martial Yuan Spirit improved once again . Thank you, Jiang He!”

With that, he offered Jiang He a fist-palm salute and a bow .

Jiang He waved him off and laughed . “I did not really contribute . All I did was give you something to strengthen the head and the kidneys based on your condition . ”

Strengthening the head and the kidneys?

Based on my condition?

Wang Hou felt that those words rather tarnished his reputation, and was about to retort when Jiang He’s tone changed and he said, “By the way, Minister Wang, the reinforcements from the celestial battlefield have arrived . ”

Taken aback, Wang Hou could not help asking, “You had already routed the Hundred Races Alliance . Why would they return?”

“I have no idea . ”

Jiang He shook his head, not bothered by the issue .

The matter of the Alliance’s legion being resolved meant rare free time, and he left Wang Hou with another fifteen Strengthened Head and Kidney Pills before returning to Lingzhou City .

Doctor Zhou only came to his senses then, and stared tightly at the plastic bag on the edge of the sickbed .

Inside that plastic bag was a huge carrot .

“No!”

“It’s not a huge carrot… Jiang He said that it’s a spirit ginseng—but are there any spirit ginseng that could be this huge?”

Carefully opening the plastic bag and checking it, he could not help flinching and crying out, “There actually is such a huge spirit ginseng in this world? How long did it take to grow this huge?!”
