Chapter 341: Three hundred forty, the precious sword never ages! _1

Regarding his father-in-law’s earnest expectations, Gu Chen neither agreed directly nor rejected them outright.

He was actually indifferent to this matter, after all, his father-in-law Ji Guangsheng was his wife’s biological father.

It’s normal for parents to want to leave the best of everything to their children.

Although Gu Chen was Ji Pianran’s husband, he had always respected his wife’s own choices in this regard.

Therefore, he did not intend to make any rash promises.

If Ji Pianran pitied her father and wanted to return to Chuan City to take over the family business, then naturally Gu Chen would support her.

If Ji Pianran still liked her current life in Haicheng and did not want to be the helmsman of the family enterprise,

but instead wanted to do what she liked and become a world-famous clothing designer,

then for Gu Chen, that too would be perfectly acceptable.

He himself also had his business and never thought from the beginning to rely on his father-in-law’s family to seek advancement.

So, it was best to leave the final decision to his wife to choose for herself.

The reason he made a special trip to Chuan City this time was purely because he found Xu Qingmu to be very disagreeable.

He had come over specially to take revenge for his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and his wife Ji Pianran.

"By the way, Dad, do you know what kind of medicine the Xu Family’s pharmaceutical factory mainly produces?"

Gu Chen suddenly asked his father-in-law, who was sitting on the hospital bed.

"Of course, I know. The Xu Family’s factory in Chuan City has always mainly produced two types of medicine.

One is called Qihua Coagulant, whose main effect is to treat bruises and injuries. It was originally sold as a topical plaster.

But in recent years, they have launched new oral tablets and spray that can rapidly reduce swelling and relieve pain.

The brand they use for the advertisement is still Qihua Coagulant, which is an ancient formula passed down from the Xu Family ancestors.

Although it’s not the most profitable, it is their most stable source of income.

The Xu Family has been prosperous for so long thanks to this Qihua Coagulant."

Having said this, Ji Guangsheng paused for a moment, then continued to explain to Gu Chen.

"As for the second, it is Jinyang Rejuvenation Pills, which is currently the Xu Family’s most profitable medicine.

A single box sells for at least two hundred yuan on the market, and there has always been more demand than supply.

The Xu Family in Chuan City has been able to grow large because they hold the patent for this medicine."

Gu Chen’s expression became somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

A box of medicine costing more than two hundred yuan was expensive even before his rebirth.

In the era he now lived, the majority of people earn only five or six hundred yuan a month.

For someone to be willing to spend half a month’s salary on a box of medicine, and yet it’s still in demand—could it be for treating terminal diseases?

However, he was someone who had been reborn from a later era and seemed to have never heard about it.

Traditional Chinese medicine having some particularly famous success in treating terminal diseases.

"Dad, what exactly are these Jinyang Rejuvenation Pills from the Xu Family used for?"

Gu Chen asked with a puzzled face.

As soon as he finished speaking, his mother-in-law, who had been standing beside the hospital bed, suddenly blushed slightly, and her eyes shifted awkwardly to the side.

Ji Guangsheng’s expression also appeared slightly embarrassed, then clearing his throat, he continued to explain.

"Actually, these Jinyang Rejuvenation Pills from the Xu Family aren’t used to cure any disease.

Their primary function is actually... to enhance virility."

For a moment, Gu Chen didn’t know how to react and couldn’t help but freeze.

He never would have imagined that the person, and the family, he and his father-in-law’s family had been fighting for so long,

would be someone who sells virility-enhancing medicine.

Although it sounded a bit far-fetched, if he thought about it carefully—

It seems there is some logic to it.

After all, only those with a cold would go for cold medicine.

But regardless of whether a person is sick or not, they definitely wouldn’t mind being stronger in certain aspects.

Just as, from ancient times to the present, women’s pursuit of beauty is endless,

men’s desire to enhance their capabilities in certain areas is equally boundless.

Haven’t you seen how the pangolins are nearly eaten to the brink of extinction, just because of the traditional belief of ’like cures like’ in Chinese medicine?

In light of this, a box of Jinyang Rejuvenation Pills for over 200 doesn’t seem too expensive at all.

After all, as long as they truly work, even if only slightly,

people would still clamor to buy them even if the Xu Family raised the price to 500 a box.

Chen’er scratched his head, feeling that this matter suddenly became a bit tricky.

After all, now he had the Millennium Ganoderma in hand, and he was originally rewarded with Intermediate Medical Skills by the system.

In his mind, he also possessed a prescription that could produce the same effect as the Xu Family’s Qihua Coagulant.

With a bit of experimentation, devising a medicine that completely surpasses the Xu Family’s wouldn’t be hard.

Then he could use the Ji Family’s factory to start mass production.

With that, Chen’er was confident and certain he could continue to combat Xu Qingmu’s business in the marketplace.

Even setting a reasonable price, it wasn’t impossible to completely take over the market share of the Xu Family’s Qihua Coagulant.

But with this Jinyang Rejuvenation Pill... Cheng’er had never eaten it before.

He had no idea how effective it actually was, so how could he go about concocting the medicine?

Moreover, Ji Pianran was not by his side at the moment. If after taking it, the effects turned out to be particularly good,

wouldn’t Chen’er be in a bit of a predicament?

Yet he couldn’t just phone her in Haicheng and ask Ji Pianran to rush over to his side specially for this.

After all, although this was a serious scientific issue, it was still somewhat embarrassing to talk about.

And with his wife being so bashful, turning red even when holding hands on a normal day,

if she knew Chen’er was urging her to come over urgently just to test the effects of a medicine,

what if she got angry and stopped talking to him in the future?

Chen’er thought the risk was not worth taking, but he had to figure out the specific effects of the Xu Family’s Jinyang Rejuvenation Pills.

While thinking this, his gaze inevitably fell on his father-in-law sitting nearby.

After hesitating for half a second, he still couldn’t help but speak out.

"Dad, you’ve been in Chuan City for so many years, you must have tried the Xu Family’s Jinyang Rejuvenation Pills, right?"

At this point, mother-in-law Wu Shuhui could no longer hold back.

She turned her head and glared at Ji Guangsheng with an innocent look on his face. Then, with a snort, she turned and walked straight out of the sickroom.

However, at this instant, Ji Guangsheng’s expression turned solemn and righteous.

He looked at Chen’er standing nearby and began to speak unceasingly.

"Chen’er, it’s not right for you to ask that. Don’t look at me like I’m in my fifties.

Throughout the years, Ji Guangsheng has been thriving in the world, how could I not be still vigorous, sturdy, and ever sharp like a well-tempered blade..."

But before he could finish speaking, Chen’er interrupted him directly.

"Dad, but have you actually taken it or not?"

"Ahem, to be honest, I did try... try it a few times in the past."
