Old Mr. Pei glanced at the medicine in his son's hand calmly. His reaction was very different from Lin Shuwen's when he heard that it was a B-grade medicine.
He asked him. "What kind of medicine is this?"
"It's an antidote. It can cure all poisons," said Pei Rong proudly. Pei Rong looked extremely proud when he said this. "This is a medicine that my master and I came up with. Since it is rated B, I have a high chance of becoming an advanced apothecary this year."
Old Mr. Pei's expression did not change much when he heard this. He merely said calmly, "Good luck."
"Is Brother Yanrong going to become an advanced apothecary?" exclaimed Pei Feng.
There was a huge difference between an advanced apothecary and an intermediate apothecary. Some people could work their entire lives and still be stuck at the beginner or intermediate level. After all, becoming an advanced apothecary was a test of one's talent and ability to concoct medicine.
Pei Feng did not expect his older brother to become an advanced apothecary in his forties. The Pei family would be even more respected in City S in the future.
Lin Shuwen overheard their conversation and could not help feeling shocked. He had thought that Pei Rong was already very capable since he could produce B-grade medicine. Now that he was going to become an advanced apothecary, the Pei family...
Lin Shuwen turned to glance at Fang Chen. He wanted to hint him to compliment Pei Rong, but Fang Chen's expression did not change at all. He instantly recalled that Fang Chen was only interested in politics and did not care about anything else.
That was why he did not react when he heard about B-grade medicine and advanced apothecary.
Lin Shuwen coughed dryly and took the initiative to compliment Pei Rong on Fang Chen's behalf.
Everyone was vain, and Pei Rong was no exception. Although he appeared humble, he could not conceal the arrogance in his eyes.
Old Mr. Pei looked at his son. He should have been overjoyed, but deep down, he did not think much of it. Hence, he appeared unusually calm.
He stroked his beard and turned to look at Huo Yao. Since a top-notch apothecary was here, an advanced apothecary was no longer a surprise.
Pei Rong was about to hand the medicine to Fang Chen for him to take.
Old Mr. Pei hurriedly reached out to stop him. Pei Rong looked at his father quizzically. "Dad, what are you doing?"
"Are you suspecting that Mr. Fang is poisoned?" asked Old Mr. Pei straightforwardly.
Pei Rong nodded. "Yes, we can't rule out that possibility." That was why he asked Pei Feng to bring the antidote pill that he had painstakingly developed.
If not for the other party's special status, he wouldn't have been willing to take it out.
"It shouldn't be poison." Old Mr. Pei stroked his beard and said, "I thought about this possibility a long time ago, so I did a blood test in the morning. I also ran a drug test, and there was no poison."
Pei Rong was visibly shocked. "Have you done the test?"
"Yes, there's no mistake." Old Pei's expression was solemn.
Although he wasn't a member of the Apothecaries' Association, the Pei Family was a century-old TCM family, so he wouldn't make a mistake in determining if someone was poisoned.
Pei Rong fell silent. If he was not poisoned, could it be a new rare disease?
"So, I don't think your antidote pill will work. Before we figure out the cause of the illness, any medicine will cause unnecessary reactions. It's best not to take it," said Old Mr. Pei unhurriedly.
"Eh, Dad, Big Brother's medicine is B-grade. His medicine should be useful, right?" Pei Feng, who was at the side, said.
