Chapter 749: Chapter 0749: No Poison Cure Function

"Well then, let’s have the old man check what exactly are the ingredients of this elixir?"

Sun Wuchang nodded and then stood at the entrance of the laboratory with Sun Zhuangjia, both waiting respectfully.

Soon after, a bald old man in a white lab coat stepped out from the laboratory. This man was the venerable ancestor of the Sun Family, also known as Sun Mantang, Sun Zhuangjia’s grandfather, a Five-star Early Stage Martial Master.

"I was in the midst of cultivation, what’s so urgent that you had to call me out?"

Sun Mantang emerged from the laboratory and settled on the sofa, looking at Sun Zhuangjia and Sun Wuchang with a displeased face.

"Father, Zhuangjia obtained a detoxification pill from Tang Ming’s hands, but with my abilities, I’m unable to discern the formula and ingredients of this elixir, so I had no choice but to disturb your cultivation."

Sun Wuchang immediately passed the detoxification pill to Sun Mantang.

"Tang Ming? Is it the same Tang Ming who caused our Sun Family’s reputation to hit rock bottom and lose a lot of money?"

Sun Mantang slightly furrowed his brows, taking the detoxification pill with a puzzled look.

"Yes, the oral solution produced by Tangming Group must have been derived from the detoxification pill. As long as we can figure out its formula, the Sun Family could also have its own oral solution, and by then, we will surely earn massive profits."

Sun Zhuangjia nodded repeatedly, describing the prospects with yearning.

"Hmm, that is true. If we could indeed unravel the formula of the detoxification pill, maybe our Sun Family could step into the ranks of the sects and no longer fear the poisons from Poison Sect."

Sun Mantang nodded.

The Sun Family is a Martial Arts Family based in the provincial city, and given that its strength was already not weak within this locale, coupled with Sun Mantang’s recent breakthrough to the realm of a Five-star Martial Master, they were already in a position to contend with average small sects. If they could also control the production of detoxification pills, the Sun Family would certainly reach new heights.

"Father, why don’t you first check what are the ingredients of this detoxification pill?"

Sun Wuchang urged, full of anticipation.

"Alright, just let me taste this elixir, and I’ll be able to discern its medicinal ingredients. Bring me a cup of water to rinse my mouth first."

Sun Mantang spoke with pride.

Many years of cultivating Poison Skill had endowed Sun Mantang with a potent ability – his tongue had tasted countless poisons and medicines, and his sense of taste had been honed to the point where he could identify the components of the herbs with just a taste.

This Sun Family, unlike the Poison Sect which innovated by integrating high technology with poison production, was a traditional Poison Refining Family. Hence, Sun Mantang took great pride in this skill.

Sun Mantang washed his mouth with water earnestly, then sniffed the detoxification pill by his nose, "This detoxification pill smells quite good; refining bitter medicine to this level is indeed quite remarkable."

"Father, can you discern the ingredients of this elixir by smelling it?" Sun Zhuangjia asked nervously.

"Through smell alone, I can’t discern anything. If detoxification pills were so easily decrypted, then the Su Family would have been imitated a long time ago, after selling so many detoxification pills."

Sun Mantang shot Sun Wuchang a glance.

At these words, Sun Zhuangjia’s expression turned sour. He had intended to buy a detoxification pill directly from Su Xiaoxi, but she refused to sell it to him. Therefore, he had no choice but to resort to underhanded schemes to deceitfully obtain the detoxification pill from Tang Ming’s hands.

"Alright, I’ll now taste and see what this detoxification pill is like."

After preparing himself, Sun Mantang stuck out his tongue and licked the elixir.

The father and son of the Sun Family held their breaths, awaiting the result.

"Hmm?"

After a lick, Sun Mantang furrowed his brows, this was a flavor he had never encountered in his long experience with medicines: a mix of bitter, slightly greasy, and somewhat numbing...

"Father, what do you think?"

Sun Mantang asked cautiously.

"This Detoxification Pill is indeed a good elixir, I actually couldn’t taste what the medical ingredients are for a moment."

Sun Mantang frowned, waved his hand and said, "Don’t disturb me, I want to taste this properly.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Sun Mantang licked the pill several times, but still couldn’t identify its ingredients, which did not resemble any known medicinal herbs. Could it be made from materials that even he couldn’t distinguish or had never seen before?

After half an hour, Sun Mantang had licked the Detoxification Pill all around and still made no progress.

"Strange, what kind of medicine is this made from? It actually has a hint of the aroma of beef and the flavor of chicken."

Sun Mantang rubbed his head, murmuring to himself in puzzlement.

"No way, even you, Father, can’t identify its ingredients?"

Sun Wuchang’s expression changed slightly, it seemed that this Detoxification Pill was indeed extraordinary.

"Someone, take this to the laboratory and break down its basic components, then I’ll taste it in detail."

After running out of ideas, Sun Mantang knocked on the laboratory’s door and handed the elixir to a bespectacled scientist.

"My son, bringing back this Detoxification Pill is a great merit for the family, well done."

After handing over the Detoxification Pill, Sun Mantang looked at Sun Zhuangjia with great satisfaction and praised him.

"It’s all part of my duty." Sun Zhuangjia humbly lowered his head, feeling a surge of triumph in his heart, finally redeeming the face he had lost last time.

"By the way, people from the overseas Li Family will soon visit the provincial city, and you must entertain them properly when the time comes."

Sun Mantang sat on the sofa, looking at Sun Zhuangjia with approval. "The Li Family is a Martial Arts Family overseas, with considerable influence. It will be very beneficial for the future development of our Sun Family to be on good terms with them, and Zhuangjia deserves credit for this too. Without him as a mediator, our Sun Family would not have been able to make such a powerful ally."

"That’s true, but this boy is often naughty, so don’t praise him too much. When it’s time for a lesson, he still needs to be taught."

Sun Wuchang nodded again and again, his face beaming with pride. Although Sun Zhuangjia often caused trouble, the few things he had handled recently were indeed very satisfying.

"Hehe, talented youngsters should be praised, but I’ll definitely punish them if they do wrong."

Sun Mantang laughed. He was very strict with the disciples of the family, adhering to a clear system of rewards and punishments.

"Elder Family Head, the results are out." Just then, the bespectacled scientist came out.

"What exactly are the medical components of this elixir?"

Sun Mantang immediately straightened up and inquired.

"This... these pills contain no medicinal ingredients. Their main constituents are cow bones, chicken bones, and dust," the scientist reported with a strange expression on his face.

"What?" Upon hearing this, the three generations of the Sun Family were dumbfounded.

"No, impossible, this is a Detoxification Pill, how could it be bones and dust?"

After realizing what was said, Sun Zhuangjia exclaimed in disbelief.

"Sorry, that’s what the lab results show, and I’ve conducted experiments—this pill has no detoxifying function. It can’t even counteract the poison of rat poison," the scientist stated word by word.
