Yi Haisang and the Lin Family Head conspire to eliminate Divine Doctor Ding. Meanwhile, at the Nanyuan Family, Fang Yu finds Ding Hui enthusiastically working on a mysterious greenish liquid—half an antidote—and conversing with two exhausted old men who eagerly follow her research.

Now Ding Hui was explaining everything in detail, as if breaking it down and feeding the knowledge, and the two old men were almost at a face of enlightenment. Besides nodding continuously, they would occasionally express surprise or deep thought.

Fang Yu saw this and thought this was not a good thing.

He wasn’t there to attend a lecture, and seeing that Ding Hui might speak for at least another ten minutes, Fang Yu hurriedly interrupted.

"Ding Hui, just tell us how much longer it will take to develop the antidote..."

"How can I say for sure!" Ding Hui raised an eyebrow, and then continued, "If we’re quick, the first batch of antidotes might be ready tonight for testing. If it takes longer, then tomorrow. Once the patients take it, we’ll look at the feedback, make some improvements, and that should be about it."

This efficiency is unbeatable...

Fang Yu originally thought it would take at least a couple of weeks or even months, but now it seemed he might be able to leave in a couple of days.

Fang Yu glanced at the two little old men following behind Ding Hui and subtly hinted to them.

"It’s a bit too fast."

Ding Hui, unlike Fang Yu, immediately understood the hint, but she simply laughed and tapped Fang Yu’s hand, and her voice echoed directly in Fang Yu’s mind.

"Why worry, my dear? This antidote can only be made by me. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can take the Nanyuan Family’s supplies and leave. Are we worried they won’t keep their promise?"

Of course, they weren’t worried about the Nanyuan Family going back on their word because they had the upper hand now.

The problem is, with such speed, it’s like a locksmith opening a lock in one second, making the customer feel uneasy and dissatisfied.

Just as Fang Yu was about to say more, he suddenly sensed something and turned his head towards the door.

"Report—"

A servant from the Nanyuan Family suddenly entered from outside the door, and just as he opened his mouth, he vomited all over the place and retreated outside with a terrified expression, looking at those inside as if they were swimming in a cesspit.

That look was both terrified and bewildered.

Familiar.

The moment Fang Yu entered the room, he had the same look in his eyes.

But after Ding Hui used her potion, the smell in here was simply refreshing.

"What’s the matter? Speak from outside."

Fang Yu said.

In the next moment, Fang Yu understood; that servant’s eyes seemed to see Fang Yu talking while eating poop in the cesspit... his eyes now showed fear and admiration.

"Report, to Instructor Diao, the master says everything prepared for both of you is ready. Please come and check it out now."

Such high efficiency!

Fang Yu was slightly surprised.

Say what you may about the Nanyuan Family, but their efficiency is genuinely high.

From the previous information transmission to now preparing the materials, it’s all been quite fast.

The former reflects the speed and level of information exchange within the entire Nanyuan Family.

The latter reflects the Nanyuan Family’s ability to integrate resources throughout the family.

In whichever aspect, you can see the Nanyuan Family’s remarkable qualities.

Fang Yu looked at Ding Hui, who slightly shook her head in response.

"You go first; I will check it later."

You not being there means I won’t be able to confirm the authenticity of some rare medicinal materials...

Fang Yu thought to himself but could see that Ding Hui wanted to stay there longer to continue the antidote research.

It’s Ding Hui’s job and also her passion; it isn’t just about the benefits.

"Okay." Fang Yu nodded, then took out a few cultivation technique secret books from the library and handed them to Ding Hui.

"What are these?"

Ding Hui looked down in confusion. They were cultivation technique books for Martial Artists that didn’t interest her. She was about to return them when Fang Yu spoke.

"There are some special preparation methods for materials inside. You might find them interesting."

So, it wasn’t for me to practice martial arts?

Ding Hui tilted her head cutely, seeming to think for a moment, then smiled and carefully put the items away.

"Since it’s a gift from my dear, I’ll keep it well and examine them in detail when I have time."

Fang Yu rolled his eyes internally, waved his hand, and left the room.

After taking a sniff, he felt slightly uncomfortable.

Without the fragrance filling the room, even the air seemed ordinary.

"Instructor Diao... great taste."

The person leading the way for the report had a lot to say.

Fang Yu glanced at him.

"Lead the way."

"Yes!"

Fang Yu followed the servant out, and the room was left with just Ding Hui and the two old men once again.

The two little old men, who had been eagerly looking at Ding Hui, now saw Ding Hui’s previously warm expression visibly cool down. When she turned to face them, there was nothing but cold instructions, no further explanations.

All techniques, all processes, they had to rely on their own comprehension to imagine, to guess.

Even if they cautiously asked a question, they only received a cold look from Ding Hui.

Familiar!

The same Divine Doctor as before was back...

The two old men had disliked Fang Yu getting in the way, a layman moving around the room.

Now, they wished Fang Yu would return.

Only with Fang Yu present could they hear some substantive things from the Divine Doctor. Otherwise, merely observing without explanation left them unable to understand anything properly!

Or rather, they could only grasp part of it, but without explanation, their guesses always felt a bit off.

What on earth to do?

They wanted to ask but couldn’t ask more for fear of being kicked out; it was truly frustrating.

Meanwhile, Fang Yu had begun checking the supplies.

"Instructor Diao, everything you requested is here."

In a large courtyard, all sizes of various items were piled up.

Nanyuan Xian, the Family Head, was there providing detailed introductions and explanations, while Fang Yu would either nod or touch things now and then.

At first glance, it seemed that Fang Yu had an arrogant attitude, but actually, he didn’t understand at all; he just accepted whatever was said.

Everything had to wait for Ding Hui to finish her work and come to check them herself.

"Instructor Diao, to keep you and Divine Doctor Ding, our Nanyuan Family has spent a lot. Look at this Blood Thousand Ginseng, its quality, its roots; if auctioned outside, at least this is the price!"

Nanyuan Xian waved his five fingers broadly, seemingly emphasizing the item’s high value.

Unfortunately, Fang Yu had no concept of it, merely nodding vaguely.

"Not bad, the quality seems alright."

In reality, he had no idea about the quality. He just saw it looking big and old, so he accepted it, even if it was a stick in front of him. As long as Nanyuan Xian bragged a bit, Fang Yu would likely have the same attitude.

However, concerning cooperation, Nanyuan Xian wouldn’t deceive regarding these supplies.

"Instructor Diao, take a look at this; this thing is significant. Within a thousand miles, even Thunder City..."

Nanyuan Xian was speaking when Nanyuan Shiran, whom Fang Yu had met before, arrived from the corridor towards the courtyard.

Fang Yu curiously looked at Nanyuan Shiran, while Nanyuan Xian’s voice lowered, frowning slightly.

"What’s the matter?"

"Reporting to the master, the troublemakers are all subdued! They are locked in the prison!"

Nanyuan Xian nodded slightly, then said, "Understood, I am busy now. Talk to you later."

"Yes!"

Nanyuan Shiran left.

Now it was Fang Yu’s turn to be puzzled.

Looking at Nanyuan Shiran’s retreating figure, Fang Yu asked.

"Causing trouble? In Da Liang City, someone dared to cause trouble for your Nanyuan Family?"

"Hahaha! What are you saying, Instructor Diao? Our Nanyuan Family hasn’t yet become unparalleled in Da Liang City. People causing trouble is natural. Moreover, the people causing trouble this time are related to you and Divine Doctor Ding."

"Oh? How so?"

"Instructor Diao, do you know what kind of people came to cause trouble?"

Fang Yu frowned.

By logic, it should be people from other families, but based on the question, it had to be more than that.

Thinking for a moment, Fang Yu suddenly understood.

"Were they sick villagers?"
