Chapter 19: Healing Potions

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ye Haoran had a long face and was already thinking about which lawyer he should look for.

He had seen the detailed introduction of the strength potion just now, and there was indeed a description of the side effects:

[Side effects: The person who takes the strength potion will overdraw the strength in his body, causing him to fall into a weak state. He will recover in half a year’s time.]

Ye Haoran was also convinced. When he looked at it yesterday, there was no such item. It was obvious that the system added it after other people showed symptoms.

This system was ridiculous!

Yesterday, he was still saying that the system was awesome. Today, it was giving him a slap in the face.

“Alright, we’re here. Get off.”

The car stopped steadily at the side of the road. Ye Haoran got out of the car dejectedly, but what he saw was not the entrance of the Spirit Bureau that he was expecting.

In front of them were a few tall buildings with the words “Beitong Central Hospital” written in the middle.

“Hey, why did we come to the hospital?”

Ye Haoran was confused. Could it be that it was to make it easier for him to receive treatment after the interrogation?

The nearby terrain is empty, he could just escape swiftly!

Just as Ye Haoran was busy scrutinizing the area, the spirit guard said from behind, “Don’t think too much, let’s go!”

As if they had seen through his thoughts, two spirit guards, one on the left and one on the right, brought him into the Inpatient Department.

There were already spirit guards waiting for them in the Inpatient Department, and there were a few professors in white coats beside them.

As soon as the three of them came over, everyone turned their eyes to Ye Haoran, who was standing in the middle.

When Xu Shan, who was waiting, saw Ye Haoran, he could not help but rub his forehead.

He was already busy dealing with the previous meteorite attack, and today there was a mass drug poisoning incident.

When he first received the report, he didn’t think much of it, thinking that the other party had exaggerated the symptoms of poisoning.

He didn’t expect that when he arrived at the scene, he would find that the people who had taken the potions had all turned into skin and bones! It was the kind that could be blown away by a gust of wind!

One of the spirit guards did not believe it and directly took a big gulp on the spot, then became like those victims as well.

After a quick investigation, it was found that all the people who had such symptoms had taken Ye Haoran’s strange medicine.

In order to control the source as soon as possible, Xu Shan immediately sent people to control Ye Haoran.

Ye Haoran stood on the first floor of the Inpatient Department and looked around. He saw emaciated patients lying on the bed and receiving glucose injections.

However, the degree of weight loss was different. The spirit guard in the car just now was the most serious kind.

“Ye Haoran, where did you get the medicine you were selling, and what kind of toxicity is it? Tell me the truth!” Xu Shan asked sternly. He wanted to find the cause of it before the situation worsened any further.

Ye Haoran spread his hands and explained helplessly, “I developed the potion myself!”

“What???”

The professors instantly looked over with a wisp of surprise and disbelief in their eyes.

Putting aside the toxicity, the effect of increasing strength by five times for 20 minutes was so powerful. How could a high school student who had never learned pharmacy research it?

Seeing that no one believed him, Ye Haoran said directly, “Find me some raw materials, I can make it on the spot.”

As he spoke, he reported the names of the materials. Xu Shan nodded in agreement. The raw materials were sent over in a short while.

“Didididi….”

Ye Haoran was holding a few mineral water bottles that had been cut into half in the middle. He was skillfully mixing the medicine, and his technique and movements were extremely professional.

A few minutes later, a half-filled bottle of yellowish liquid appeared in a mineral water bottle, emitting a strange smell.

Seeing this color, all the patients who looked over turned their heads away. It was obvious that they were traumatized by this thing.

“What a good technique!”

A few pharmacy professors were watching with great interest and couldn’t help but praise him.

“This thing is really not poisonous?”

Xu Shan picked up the bottle of mineral water and sniffed it. He had previously thought that there were some prohibited poisonous herbs added to the medicine. Now, it seemed that they were all ordinary ingredients.

“It’s really not poisonous. It’s just that the side effects are a little severe. They’ll be fine after a few months of rest.”

Ye Haoran tried his best to defend himself. He still wanted to fight for his freedom.

“Then why didn’t you say that the side effects were so severe? I wouldn’t have drunk it if you had told me earlier!”

A patient who was lying on the bed forced himself to sit up and asked.

“You didn’t ask me!”

Ye Haoran showed a caring smile. This was about his freedom, so he could only play dumb.

He looked up and saw that there were at least a hundred patients.

“That’s not right, Leader! I only sold ten bottles yesterday. Why are there so many patients?” Ye Haoran asked in confusion.

“Oh, someone bought your potion yesterday and mixed it with some sugar water. He made another 100 portions and sold them.”

Xu Shan took out a photo and passed it to him. In the photo was the kind brother who had been the first to buy his medicine yesterday.

“F*ck! This guy is so sanctimonious. How could he do such a thing?”

Ye Haoran’s face was full of anger. He changed the topic and said, “Well, shouldn’t he share some of the money he earned from selling fake potions with me?”

“Alright, stop stop stop!”

Xu Shan interrupted Ye Haoran’s reckless behavior. He glanced at the report of the on-site drug testing.

The words “no poison found for now” made him heave a sigh of relief.

“There’s no problem with the potions. You can go now. However, we’ll have to bring this potion back for another inspection. If you want to sell it again, you’ll have to apply at the Spirit Bureau.”

Ye Haoran immediately smiled, feeling that freedom was so wonderful.

Just as he was about to leave, the system suddenly popped up the following options:

[Option 1: Leave immediately and no longer care about this mess. Reward: A large amount of spiritual power.]

[Option 2: As a form of apology, treat the weak victims and collect a little money. Reward: Immune to the side effects of the strength potion. (Note: After selection, the healing potion guide will be automatically activated).]

[Option 3: Immediately sell the strength potion at the hospital entrance after you leave! Reward: Silver bracelet +1.]

Ye Haoran thought about it for a while. He decided to ignore the third option. He preferred the first option, which was to get out of this situation as soon as possible.

However, the reward for the second option was a little tempting. Not only would he be able to unlock a new potion guide, but he would also be immune to the side effects of the vigor potion.

After all, the effect of the strength potion was so good, and he had originally planned to take it himself.

However, after seeing the side effects, he had no choice but to give up on this idea.

After a moment of consideration, Ye Haoran suddenly said loudly, “Actually, I’ve also developed another type of potion, a healing potion!”

“What?”

Xu Shan and the pharmacists looked over. Ye Haoran continued, “As long as you provide me with some raw materials, I can make them to help these people recover.”

Xu Shan looked at the spirit guard who was as thin as a match on the stretcher. His eyes were filled with thoughts.

After a long while, Xu Shan turned around and asked Ye Haoran in a serious tone, “Will there be any side effects?”

“Hehe… You must be joking. Healing potions are meant for treatment. There won’t be any side effects.”

Ye Haoran hurriedly explained. However, when he saw Xu Shan’s disbelieving expression, he quickly changed his words, “It’ll make them better off than they are now.”

To be honest, Ye Haoran himself was not confident, because on the healing potion guide unlocked by the system, the side effects column was labeled as “unknown,” followed by the words “will remove impurities from the body” in brackets.

On the other hand, Xu Shan did not say anything else. He turned around and ordered his men to prepare the materials.

After a while, all the materials were ready. Ye Haoran directly entered the system’s management mode. After a series of operations, a bottle of blue and white medicine appeared on the table.

The blue-white potion kept bubbling, and the liquid was making a sizzling sound.

The crowd looked at Ye Haoran with strange expressions. Could they really drink this thing?

Ye Haoran had no choice but to take the risk and lick it with his tongue.

“Hm…”

Ye Haoran smacked his lips. The medicine tasted like bubbles, but it was not bad.

Xu Shan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Ye Haoran was still alive and kicking. He picked up the medicine and fed it to the spirit guard who was so weak that he could not speak.

“Gulp Gulp…”

After drinking the bottle of healing potion, the body of the skinny spirit guard slowly recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. His face also gradually became round.

The effect was so powerful?

Everyone was a little shocked. This was like blowing a balloon!

The corner of Ye Haoran’s mouth lifted slightly. He had used a hundred-year-old spirit ginseng worth 100,000 yuan. If he fed it to a little pig, it would instantly turn into a big fat pig.

The emaciated patients at the side looked envious. They also wanted this kind of medicine!

Ye Haoran saw that the time was right. After obtaining Xu Shan’s agreement, he said loudly, “Do you need any healing potions? The base price is only 123,000 yuan, which is 130,000 yuan after rounding it up!”

Everyone’s expression stiffened. Was this how it should be?

“Well, 7,000 yuan for my hard work isn’t too much, right?”
