Chapter 410 - 409: Nourishing Body Pills Examination Results

The Lu Family had funded the construction of this sanatorium, so of course, the doctors here were extremely dedicated to Lu Yunzhou’s case.

The lead doctor carefully scraped some powder from a Nourishing Body Pill, sealed it meticulously in a small bag, and then left with his team.

"Yunque, where did you buy this? Don’t tell me you got scammed."

Although the packaging looked quite high-end, the item itself screamed ’unlicensed product’. No wonder Huo Yue Lan didn’t dare give it to Lu Yunzhou to eat.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes personalized prescriptions for each individual. If he took this and something went wrong, no one could bear that responsibility.

"Auntie, actually..."

"I happened to run into an old traditional Chinese doctor who gave it to me," Lu Yunque interjected. "He was in some trouble, and I happened to be passing by and helped him out, so he gave it to me as a gift."

Lu Yunque wasn’t trying to steal Yun Zijin’s credit. The main reason was that if there was a problem with the pill, the blame would fall on him for providing it.

And since he was also a descendant of the Lu Family, the others couldn’t do much to him, even if they were displeased.

But if Yun Zijin had been the one to present the Nourishing Body Pill and something went wrong, what would await her was the full wrath of the Lu Family.

Lu Yunque didn’t want Yun Zijin to take that risk.

Of course, if the Nourishing Body Pill was ultimately confirmed to be beneficial and harmless, Lu Yunque would also publicize the fact that Yun Zijin was the one who gave it to him.

In any case, the core of his plan was simple: he takes the risks, she gets the rewards.

Yun Zijin shot Lu Yunque a questioning look, but he simply stared down at the floor, feigning composure. They were still in the hospital room, so it wasn’t a good time to explain. He could only do it privately when they left later.

Compared to Lu Yunque, Yun Zijin’s thoughts were much simpler.

Huo Yue Lan saw the silent exchange of glances between them and felt like she couldn’t even watch.

Lu Yunzhou, on the other hand, was rather surprised. He never thought that his own brother, who was known for being cold and aloof, would one day be so gentle with a girl.

’Looks like he’s really met the right person.’

"It’s alright," Lu Yunzhou said. "Whether it works or not, it’s the thought that counts."

Lu Yunzhou also believed that Lu Yunque would never have the heart to harm him.

Because this was something Lu Yunzhou was supposed to ingest, the sanatorium’s doctors began analyzing the sample without a moment’s delay.

Half an hour later, the same lead doctor from before rushed back into Lu Yunzhou’s room, clutching a test report.

"Incredible! It’s absolutely incredible! This is nothing short of a medical miracle!"

The doctor stared at the report in his hands, his expression slightly exaggerated due to his excitement.

"Doctor Zhang, are the test results back?"

Seeing Doctor Zhang, Huo Yue Lan immediately guessed that the test results for the Nourishing Body Pill powder were ready.

"Yes! The results are in. This is the report; you can take a look for yourselves."

Having regained his composure, Doctor Zhang reverted to his usual cool and dignified demeanor.

Yun Zijin didn’t look at the report, turning instead to Doctor Zhang.

"That report is full of technical jargon I won’t understand. Why don’t you just tell us the final results, Doctor Zhang?"

To be honest, Yun Zijin was quite nervous. After all, this Nourishing Body Pill came from the ’System’. She had no idea what modern medical technology would be able to detect in it.

"The test results show that this Nourishing Body Pill is rich in various trace elements beneficial to the human body. Moreover, the pill has been specially processed, making its medicinal effects incredibly potent and easily absorbed.

"Let me put it this way: if Mr. Lu wants to walk again, taking this pill will significantly increase his chances of success."

Hearing Doctor Zhang’s words, everyone in the room breathed a collective sigh of relief.

Huo Yue Lan, however, turned to Lu Yunque. "Where’s the pill? Hurry up and give it to your brother. This will give him a much better chance of walking again!"

As a mother, Huo Yue Lan couldn’t bear the thought of her son spending the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

She would absolutely not let any opportunity slip by.

Lu Yunque quickly took the sandalwood box out of his pocket and handed it to Huo Yue Lan.

Although he had already accepted the fact that he might spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, now that there was real hope of walking again, even someone as composed as Lu Yunzhou couldn’t help but show a flicker of anticipation on his face.

But as the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. In his heart, Lu Yunzhou still prepared for the worst.

Honestly, with injuries as severe as his had been, he was already thankful to have survived.

Now that there was a chance to walk again, a glimmer of light returned to Lu Yunzhou’s eyes.

"Son, do you remember what that old doctor looked like? Since this pill works, let’s go buy more.

"If one has an effect, wouldn’t buying a few more to take give him an even greater hope?"

It was no wonder Huo Yue Lan thought this way. If something was useful, then the more of it, the better.

"Mom, I just happened to run into him by chance. I haven’t seen him since."

Lu Yunque knew what his mom was thinking, of course, but if she wanted him to produce an old doctor now, he was powerless to do so.

’If I’d known this pill was so effective, I shouldn’t have told that lie.’

Yun Zijin, meanwhile, sat on the side, enjoying the show, with no intention of coming to Lu Yunque’s rescue.

’He was the one who told the lie; it has nothing to do with me.’

"Ai, why didn’t you think to ask for his contact information?"

Hearing Lu Yunque say he couldn’t find the old doctor, Huo Yue Lan felt a great sense of regret and shot him an annoyed glare.

"You... I don’t even know what to say to you!"

Huo Yue Lan looked at Lu Yunque with an expression of pure exasperation.

But she also knew what was done was done. Complaining about Lu Yunque was useless now; after all, no one could have expected the pill to be so effective.

"Auntie! Yunque didn’t do it on purpose. Next time! If we run into that old doctor again, we’ll be sure to get his contact information."

Seeing Lu Yunque getting a full-blown scolding, Yun Zijin’s heart ached for him, so she stepped forward to help him out.

She still had more Nourishing Body Pills, but for the time being, she couldn’t take any more of them out.

"Hmph! For Zijin’s sake, I’ll let you off the hook today."

Lu Yunque: ...

’So, my status in this family now ranks below Yun Zijin’s?’

Huo Yue Lan handed the open sandalwood box to Lu Yunzhou. "Son, hurry and eat it! After you take it, we’ll have someone check you over again."

The test results were one thing, but any changes in his body’s various metrics after ingestion also needed to be recorded.

This would be extremely helpful for Lu Yunzhou’s future recovery and rehabilitation plan.

Without any hesitation, Lu Yunzhou picked up the Nourishing Body Pill and swallowed it directly.

Yun Zijin felt like he was going to choke just watching him, and she quickly poured him a glass of water.

"It’s so big. It’s not a good idea to swallow it whole."

Lu Yunzhou took the water from Yun Zijin, took a sip, and then thanked her. "Thank you."

As soon as Lu Yunzhou finished the water, Huo Yue Lan rushed over. "Son, now that you’ve taken the pill, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Or how do you feel?"
