Pill Maker Bullies The Boss

A Medical Genius

Old Mr. Pei inhaled deeply. He told himself not to get angry with someone who did not know any better. In a composed tone, he asked the person. “Is this medication intended for someone who got poisoned recently?”

Poisoned? What poison?

Yeonjun looked bewildered. He shook his head and said, “No, my friend only suffers from a nerve injury.”

Old Mr. Pei frowned and said, “Impossible. The main use of Yuqing pills is to prevent poison from spreading further. Also, it protects poison from attacking the nervous system temporarily. If he wasn’t poisoned, why would he have to take this?”

Yeonjun scratched his head. He merely wanted to know whether the medicine was safe for consumption or not. What was all this talk about poison?

They were living in modern times here. But why were things starting to sound more and more like that from a fantasy novel?

Moreover, medicine was so advanced these days. If Taehyung genuinely got poisoned, they would have found out about it when he underwent a full body examination previously. Why would they have left it untreated till now?

Yeonjun’s friend cleared his throat and said, “Yeonjun, this is Old Mr. Pei, whom I mentioned previously. He is a very talented Chinese physician. In fact, he is considered to be the best Chinese physician we have in City S.”

Yeonjun was startled by the news. Admiration automatically emerged on his face as he hurriedly bowed and apologized to Old Mr. Pei. “Sorry for being rude, Old Mr. Pei.”

In a respectful tone, Yeonjun replied to Old Mr. Pei’s question solemnly. “My friend’s younger sister gave this pill to him. I was wondering whether it was safe for consumption, so I brought it over to get it examined. Also, my friend underwent several check-ups at the hospital, and they confirmed that he only suffers from a spinal injury.”

Then Yeonjun turned his gaze towards the hospital president and continued speaking. “I think that you’ve seen my friend’s lab test results, right?”

The hospital president indeed recognized Yeonjun. He nodded and said, “He’s right. The patient only had spinal injuries.”

Old Mr. Pei went quiet for two seconds before continuing. “Let me put it this way. This medicine is considered S+ grade medication as per the standard of the Apothecaries’ Association. Barely anyone is capable of making it, so I’m not joking when I say it’s priceless.”

Yeonjun was not much aware about the demarcations in the Chinese medicine field, so he was clueless about how precious this S+ grade medicine was. However, the hospital president understood it clearly and was dumbstruck when he heard Old Mr. Pei’s words.

The Apothecaries’ Association’s medicine was categorized into A, B, C, and D grades. A was considered to be the top medication category while B and C class medicine came in second, and D class medicine was ordinary medication. However, grade D medicine was still considered to be high-end to average people.

S class medicine was a special category of medicine made by using ancient prescriptions. Since there were only a handful of apothecaries specializing in that, they had higher status than the others and garnered a lot of respect everywhere they went.

S class medication was already precious enough, so it was inconceivable how rare S+ grade medicine was.

It was no wonder that Old Mr. Pei was so thrilled when he first saw the medicine.

Yeonjun went into a slight daze. He kept thinking about what Old Mr. Pei said about the medicine being priceless.

Although he knew nothing about the Apothecaries’ Association, he sure knew what priceless meant.

It was the same as Taehyung’s albums getting sold out each time they hit the shelves. No one could get even a single extra copy, no matter how rich they were.
