Chapter 986 Antidote PillHe had already provided two prescriptions for Nanshan Pharmaceutical company, both of which were in soup form. He was considering what prescriptions to use for the next type of medicine. He wasn’t sure if it should remain a liquid form or be in the form of a pill.

Nine Herbs Pill?

Obviously, that was not suitable. That kind of pill was made with nine kinds of precious Chinese herbal medicinal ingredients. The cost was high. Wang Yao didn’t want to promote it for now. Besides, another kind of medicine had a wider use.

It was the Antidote Pill.

After thinking it through, that medicine popped into his mind.

It nourished the kidneys and liver, removed dampness, cleared heat, removed blood stasis, and detoxified the body.

It was made by mixing and blending angelica, Poria cocos, yinhua, and other herbs. In regards to its efficacy, it was similar to the Heat Clearing Powder. However, the Antidote Pill had several other beneficial effects. It was considered a common medicine.

Well, it’s decided then.

After making the decision, he now had to prepare it. Wang Yao knew the prescription for the medicine, but he had never prepared it. Fortunately, he had all the herbs that were needed with him. He knew the preparation procedure and precautions as well. It was not difficult to prepare the medicine.

The prescription was fixed. Wang Yao made appropriate adjustments based on the ancient prescription before preparing the medicinal herbs. He planned to brew it the next day.

Before going to bed, he read some scriptures. He didn’t stop until late that night.

The next morning, he got up early, washed up, and ate breakfast. After that, he prepared to make the pills.

Stir-fry, ground, sift…

It took him the entire morning to prepare and sift through all the herbs used to make the pills.

After a short rest, it was time to make the pills.

Medicinal powder…

Ancient spring water…

Medicine basket…

Sieve, shake, twist…

He slowly performed each step as if was cooking porridge over a small fire.

It was a skill and an art form.

By the afternoon, Wang Yao had made 123 pills.

Done!

At the foot of the mountain, outside the clinic…

“He’s wasn’t here in the morning, and he is not here in the afternoon. What’s the situation?”

Three people were waiting outside. They were from other cities. After getting wind of Wang Yao’s skills, they had come to the remote village for a consultation and treatment. However, when they arrived in the morning, no one was there. They had traveled a long distance, so they couldn’t just go back like that. They returned in the afternoon. They waited all afternoon, but no one had yet arrived. This made them anxious. They had traveled hundreds of miles.

“Ah, he has a Weibo account here. Take a look. Ah, the clinic is not open today.”

“What?”

They had only just discovered Wang Yao’s Weibo account, so it was too late.

“Why didn’t you check it earlier?”

“It’s too late to ask that now. Since we’re already here, I think we should just find a place to stay for the night.”

“Well, I guess that is fine.”

The three people discussed what to do for a while before returning to the car.

Mmph!

One of them suddenly shivered.

“It’s starting!”

His body began to uncontrollably shake. He slumped down into the car seat. His body twitched and trembled like he had Parkinson’s disease. He was uncontrollable. His complexion was ghastly pale. He looked to be in extreme pain. He opened his mouth but not a single sound came out.

“Let’s go, let’s go!”

The car started. They quickly drove out of the village.

When they got to the town, the young man with the disease had stopped twitching. He heaved a long sigh of relief.

“Damn it, it’s finally over!”

That feeling was simply too painful. His body constantly twitched and spasmed. It was as if all of his muscles had been fried and electrified. His body was suffering in agony. He wanted to shout and scold the heavens, but he couldn’t utter a single sound. He was in a terrible situation.

“How long did it last this time?”

“It was about 20 minutes.”

“That’s three minutes longer than the last episode.”

“It will be my turn soon,” the young man sitting in the passenger seat said.

“Let’s hurry up and find a hotel to stay at. Do you think this doctor can cure us?”

“Let’s just give it a shot.”

The three young men soon found a hotel and checked in.

After Wang Yao had finished making the pills on Nanshan Hill, he took three pills to feel their effect.

Well, it works fine.

He called Zheng Weijun and notified him. This was the third medicine he had prepared.

The system had allocated him a very grand task. He was to spread his medicine all over the world, but there was a time limit. It was neither a short nor a long time, so he couldn’t slack. Therefore, he had accelerated the development of new medicines. When he heard the news, Zheng Weijun was about to have dinner. He immediately put down his chopsticks and drove over to see Wang Yao.

“Sir.”

“Didn’t I tell you to come by tomorrow?” Wang Yao asked.

“When I heard you say that there were new medicines, I was too curious,” Zheng Weijun said with a smile. “I couldn’t wait until tomorrow.”

Nanshan Pharmaceutical Company was just in its infancy. The first step they had taken proved to be excellent. They had made their name known. The next step was to further expand their product line. A pharmaceutical company couldn’t survive with only one drug. It could have a main product, but it needed various other products as well. Naturally, the more they had the better. Even if some the medicines had a small market, the treatment range of some drugs could be moderately overlapped.

“This is the Antidote Pill.” Wang Yao handed the pill to Zheng Weijun and precisely told him the effect of the medicine.

“Well, good medicine, good medicine.” Zheng Weijun hurriedly nodded as he spoke.

“Is this a pill?”

“Yes.”

He looked at the pill and asked, “Can it be made into Chinese medicinal tablets?”

It’s not that the pills were bad, but he was more inclined toward tablets.

“This is made of pure Chinese medicinal herbs,” Wang Yao said.

“Tablets are fine as well.”

“Let’s try it then.” Wang Yao thought for a moment before giving the prescription to Zheng Weijun.

He carefully put it away. It was a treasure that couldn’t be exchanged for a thousand pieces of gold. It was a goose that could lay golden eggs. Of course, he had to apply for a patent for Wang Yao through the relevant department like the two prescriptions before, except that the name might be changed a little.

“When can the Heat Clearing Powder be mass-produced?” Wang Yao asked.

“Soon, the procedure is almost all done,” Zheng Weijun replied. “It is estimated that mass production can be carried out in less than a week.”

“Make sure the medicinal herbs are good,” Wang Yao said.

“Of course, don’t worry about that.”

After talking with Wang Yao about his plans for developing the company, Zheng Weijun insisted on inviting Wang Yao to have dinner with him. Since he could not reject, the two of them had dinner at the restaurant at the foot of the village.

“Mmm, the delicacies of the land here are pretty good!” Zheng Weijun exclaimed.

The wild game was fresh. Apart from that, the chef had his own unique understanding and cooking methods of these ingredients, which made the dishes extremely flavorful.

“How many provinces are our medicines selling in now?” Wang Yao asked.

“Hmm, in Qi Province, three eastern provinces, six southern provinces, and, adding in Shanghai, there are 11 provinces and cities in total. Now, our production capacity is at a bottleneck.” Zheng Weijun replied. The sales of this medicine were getting better, but the wild medicinal materials were limited and couldn’t be expanded indefinitely. Moreover, the pharmaceutical company had just been established. Many things needed to be run in, including equipment and worker education. They were unable to just aim to produce faster and increase their output.

Between output and quality, he was more concerned about the latter. A company’s reputation mainly depended on the quality of its products.

“Wild medicinal herbs?”

“Yes.”

“There can be no compromises regarding that,” Wang Yao said.

“Don’t worry about that,” Zheng Weijun said. “I’ve arranged for more than one department to keep an eye on it. If there’s a problem, I’ll make him pack his things and immediately leave!” This point had been emphasized more than once in the company’s management meetings. It was listed as the first article of association for the company’s management and quality control. It had to always be their first consideration.
