Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss - Chapter 1281

Chapter 1281: Live Forever

Zhuo Yun looked at the item which Huo Yao was pointing at and quickly explained. “That’s right. This medicine can bring the dead back to life. I reckon it can save people who are on the brink of dying.”

Huo Yao’s lips twitched when she heard what Zhuo Yun said. She responded. “We are living in modern times. How can you believe such bullshit?”

“It’s not just about its effects. The medicine comes from an important source,” explained Zhuo Yun mysteriously.

“Where did it come from?” Huo Yao put down the list of auction items. She poured herself some tea and took a greater interest in the auction item.

Zhuo Yun raised his head and glanced downstairs at the auction platform before he said, “Miss Huo, you are a physician yourself. Have you heard of the Shangguan family?”

Huo Yao had just drunk some tea. She nearly choked on the liquid upon hearing this. “Cough cough!”

Zhuo Yun was about to reach his hand out to pat Huo Yao on the back when the private room door opened. He automatically raised his head and saw Min Yu entering the room, so he pulled his hand back and placed it behind him.

He knew Min Yu might kill him if he saw him touching Huo Yao.

Min Yu glanced at Zhuo Yun mildly before he sat down beside Huo Yao. “What were you chatting about? Why did you get so excited?”

Huo Yao had snapped out of her daze. “We were just talking about the last item on the auction list.”

…

Min Yu raised his brow and said, “Are you interested in the medicine?”

“A little.” Huo Yao cleared her throat and turned to look at Zhuo Yun. “You were halfway telling me about the Shangguan family. What about them?”

Zhuo Yun glanced at his boss cautiously. Since Min Yu did not cue him to stop, he continued from where he had left off. “They are a very mysterious family. They have incredible medical skills, and can cure any ailment. People say that the family has the ability to live forever.”

As long as the patient was alive, the Shangguan clan would have the ability to cure them. They also knew the secret of eternal life.

From time immemorial, people yearned to live forever and could kill for it, especially leaders of the nations.

Huo Yao asked Zhuo Yun rhetorically. “Do you believe it?”

Zhuo Yun shook his head before nodding. “Not entirely, I suppose.”

Living forever sounded absurd and was pure hearsay, but it might not be entirely groundless, so most people chose to believe it.

Huo Yao looked at Min Yu wanting to speak, but Min Yu said, “It’s probably impossible to live forever.”

It would only invite chaos.

“What do you mean probably? It’s complete hearsay,” said Huo Yao mockingly as she shrugged.

Thanks to this groundless gossip, the Shangguan family was forced to live away from society for over a century. Even then, people kept talking about it.

The moment people got greedy, they could do anything to get what they wanted.

Min Yu glanced at Huo Yao. He could sense something different about her and she seemed a little sad.

Even though Huo Yao got a little emotional, it did not last long. She quickly asked. “Is the last auction item from the Shangguan family?”

“Uh huh,” acknowledged Min Yu as he nodded.

Meanwhile, the auction on the ground floor had already commenced, so they could hear the host speaking.
