Chapter 912 - Meeting, Refining Pills For The Wen Family (4)
"Actually, I understand what you're thinking, but the poison in your bodies is too strange. I've never encountered it before, so I came up with this prescription and the method to refine pills myself. I don't know if it'll be useful, and I didn't expect the pill production rate to be so low. Sigh! I have no choice!" Zheng En continued as if he was distressed.
"Now that the pill has been refined, those herbs were not sacrificed in vain. Now, one of you can test the effect of this pill!" Zheng En added.
The elders only looked at Zheng En. No one spoke. It was obvious that they were unwilling to sacrifice themselves.
"Hurry up! If you delay too long, this medicine will be useless," Zheng En urged.
"Excellency Ersha, isn't your attendant here to test the medicine for you? Why don't we let him try it?" an elder suggested.
"He's here to test the medicine for me, not for you. Besides, he's not poisoned like you. He won't be able to test the effect. Well! Since you came up with this idea, you can try this medicine!" After Zheng En finished speaking, he pulled the elder out of the crowd and threw the small pill in while he was opening his mouth slightly…
"Ah! It's so bitter!" The elder was shocked. He wanted to spit out the pill with no effect, but the pill had already melted in his mouth. Furthermore, a bitter taste surged out of his mouth…
Bitterness flooded his mouth. The elder quickly picked up the teacup on the table and drank the tea in one gulp. Slowly, he felt the bitterness gradually dissipate…
"Uh! Why did you drink that water!" Zheng En's eyes widened as if he was very helpless.
"Can't we drink this water?" the elder asked in confusion. His heart was beating nervously!

"Of course not. I forgot to wash my hands after I visited the toilet before refining pills, so I washed them there. Hehe!" Zheng En said in embarrassment.
"Ugh!" The elder felt a wave of nausea wash over him.
"Why didn't you say so?" The elder was furious. Then he ran out of the room like the wind.
"You didn't ask." Zheng En looked at the elder's back and felt extremely aggrieved.
"Elders, the herbs you gave me have all been used up, so you won't be able to continue admiring my alchemy today. Uh! Prepare some herbs for me as soon as possible! I'll continue to work hard and strive to cure you as soon as possible," Zheng En promised very sincerely.
"You want more medicinal herbs?" The elders felt their hearts ache. There were so many medicinal herbs but only one pill. They really did not know what to say.
"Of course, the herbs you gave me previously were all used up. Didn't you see it? Well! If you can't bear to give me more herbs, it's fine. Anyway, I'm not the one who was poisoned." Zheng En said angrily.
"Excellency Ersha, we need to discuss this matter with the Patriarch." The Sixth Elder said reluctantly. Sigh! He did not expect this Ersha to spend so much medicinal herbs. What a headache!
"Yes, yes. Take your time to discuss. I'm not in a hurry. If you're done discussing, prepare more herbs. As you can see, refining a pill requires a lot of herbs!" Zheng En reminded.
"Alright," the Sixth Elder replied. With that, he left with the elders.
After the Wen family left, Ye Chen stared at Zheng En with his dark eyes.
"Dasha, don't look at me like that. I'm scared." Zheng En, who was being stared at by Ye Chen, said with a face full of fear. His heart was beating nervously.
"Really?" Ye Chen said, smiling and staring.
"My lord, stop looking at me, please!" Zheng En said meekly.
"That's better," Ye Chen said with satisfaction.
Aye! Zheng En sighed, then whispered to Ye Chen.
"Really?" Ye Chen looked surprised.
"Well, look at this." Zheng pointed to the interior of the furnace. He tapped the wall gently a few times, and the bottom of the furnace parted to reveal the secrets inside.
It turned out that his pill furnace had two levels. The first level was for refining pills, and the second level was a self-contained space for storing herbs.
As the pill furnace recognized its owner, he could control it with his mind. Therefore, if he wanted to tamper with it, no one would be able to discover it.
"This is a good furnace," Ye Chen said, impressed.
"那是,这炉还是小姐送我的呢,不过,这里面的秘密是我一次炼丹的时候无意中发现的,除了你,我还没和别人说过呢!"郑恩笑着道.
"Yes, the fewer people who know about this, the better," Ye Chen reminded. He could already tell that this pill furnace was extraordinary. If other alchemists knew that Zheng En had such a pill furnace, they would probably cause endless trouble.
"I know." Zheng En nodded solemnly.
On the other side, after the Sixth Elder brought the other elders back to the main hall, he reported Zheng En's request to the Patriarch of the Wen family.
"Where's the Eleventh Elder?" After hearing that Eleventh Elder had eaten the pill refined by Zheng En, the Patriarch of the Wen family couldn't help but look around. However, he couldn't find Eleventh Elder's whereabouts.
"I don't know." The elders shook their heads. After coming out of Zheng Ersha's courtyard, they did not see Eleventh Elder anymore.
"Head butler, send someone to look for him," the Patriarch instructed.
"Yes," the Head butler said, and left.
It wasn't long before the Eleventh Elder arrived at the main hall, but he looked pale and weak.
"Eleventh Elder, what's wrong?" The Patriarch of the Wen family was a little puzzled. Well! It shouldn't be time for the poison to take effect yet! Why did this Eleventh Elder look so weak? It was really abnormal.
"Ugh! It's diarrhea." The Eleventh Elder was a little embarrassed. He had actually been found in the outhouse by the head butler. Sigh! How embarrassing!
"It's not time for the poison to take effect yet. Why are you having diarrhea?" the Sixth Elder asked in confusion.
