"I agree too!"
"I agree..."
"I agree..."
Thus, everyone present expressed their agreement, their most unified thought being to find the murderer and seek vengeance!
"Uncle, uncle... There's hope! There's hope! Grandfather can be saved..."
Just at this moment, Luo Xi, gasping for breath, rushed in from outside, shouting as she entered, holding in her hand the prescription Qin Fang had given her, her face alight with excitement.
"Qianxi, stop this nonsense!"
Seeing his daughter's expression, although Luo Youheng knew she was concerned about the old man's illness, at a time when everyone was discussing important matters, Luo Xi's abrupt entrance was completely out of line. Not wanting his daughter to be punished for her actions, he immediately scolded her loudly...
"Dad, don't speak just yet..."
Usually, Luo Xi was very fearful of her father, but this time, she did not shrink away. Instead, she defiantly countered and lifted the prescription in her hand.
"This is the detoxification prescription I got from Qin Fang. He said that if we can gather the ingredients before five o'clock this afternoon, he can concoct the medicine to detoxify..."
Luo Xi's change in demeanor took Wu Ming, Wu Hai, Luo Youheng, and the Wu family members by surprise, their eyes focusing on the piece of paper in her hand.
Even Cai Pingyuan was no exception. Qin Fang had been implying that he had no solution, but now suddenly produced this prescription. Cai Pingyuan was slightly bewildered, unsure of its authenticity.
However, based on his understanding of Qin Fang, this prescription was likely genuine, albeit withheld for some reason.
"Pass it here for me to see..."
Cai Pingyuan immediately spoke up, and Wu Ming and Wu Hai, taken aback, quickly gestured to Luo Xi.
Luo Xi did not hesitate and promptly handed over the prescription to Cai Pingyuan.
Upon receiving the prescription, Cai Pingyuan scrutinized the ingredients list seriously, his eyebrows drawing together in concern, then he passed it on to Wu Ming.
Wu Ming also examined the prescription closely, furrowing his brows as well, but he seemed slightly more optimistic than Cai Pingyuan, and then passed the prescription down...
"Uncle Master Cai, what do you think?"
Wu Ming did not jump to conclusions but instead sought Cai Pingyuan's opinion.
"It's hard for me to say. Many of the ingredients listed are quite difficult to find. However, I don't think Qin Fang is joking around with these items; he isn't that kind of person... You all decide!"
Cai Pingyuan didn't say much; he vaguely understood Qin Fang's intention, yet the ultimate decision still had to be made by the Wu family members. Ultimately, he was an outsider, but his words implied his support for Qin Fang.
After speaking, Cai Pingyuan stood up immediately, needing to consult with Qin Fang for a clearer understanding.
"Qin Fang, how confident are you?"
Cai Pingyuan's expression was gravely serious. The matter had reached a point where it wasn't just about Qin Fang; it also concerned the entire Wu family and even the relationship between the Wu and Cai families.
"If the materials can be gathered within the time I specified, I have more than a sixty percent chance of success. If the detoxification elixir can be successfully concocted, I'm eighty percent confident... The remaining twenty percent will be left to fate!"
Qin Fang's words were still very certain.
If the Detoxification Pill could be prepared, then there was indeed a great likelihood of success. The remaining twenty percent depended on whether the medicinal effect was strong enough to remove the Five Poisons Powder from Old Master Wu's body.
This was not something Qin Fang could control. The effectiveness of the medicine was related to the level of the pharmacopeia, and even if Qin Fang wanted to, there was simply not enough time and energy to improve his Proficiency.
"Eighty percent..."
Upon hearing such a number, Cai Pingyuan was still quite shocked.
Normally, even in hospitals where surgeries are performed with only a fifty percent chance of success, people would still take a gamble. Now, with Qin Fang holding at least a sixty percent chance, even up to eighty percent, it could be said to be quite high.
At this point, Cai Pingyuan was indeed tempted, but this was the Wu Family's domain, and ultimately, the decision was up to the Wu Family members. If they thought an eighty percent chance was still too low, then no matter how tempted he was, it would be of no use.
"Eighty percent!"
Not only had Master Cai heard Qin Fang's answer, but Wu Ming, who had just entered the door, also happened to hear this conversation between the master and the disciple. Especially upon hearing Qin Fang's confidence in an eighty percent chance, his face showed an indescribable surprise and astonishment, but at the same time, there was also a burst of intense joy.
"Xiao Qin, are you serious? You really have an eighty percent chance?"
However, Wu Ming was genuinely worried that he might have misheard, and immediately stepped forward excitedly, clasping Qin Fang's shoulders, he asked eagerly. His sparkling eyes revealed deep excitement and joy.
"If there's no problem with the medicinal materials, then there's not much of an issue on my part..."
Qin Fang nodded. He could speak plainly about this. The real challenge was whether the Wu Family could gather all the materials for him before five o'clock in the afternoon, so that he could begin refining the Detoxification Pill.
If the materials were insufficient, Qin Fang would have no choice but to rush back to Ninghai to get them, which would be very time-consuming. He also couldn't guarantee he would be back before Old Master Wu passed away completely, or perhaps by the time he returned, Old Master Wu would have already drawn his last breath, and even with the Detoxification Pill in hand, it would be too late to do anything.
"I've already sent people to start preparing the materials. Although some are quite rare, there shouldn't be any major issues. I believe we will have them all soon..."
Wu Ming had already obtained the prescription from Luo Xi, and at that time, he had some doubts in his mind. Many of the Wu Family members were questioning Qin Fang's capabilities. But now, with Old Master Wu's life hanging by a thread, on the verge of death at any moment, this was a scenario none of the Wu Family members wanted to see.
Although these materials were precious and difficult to find, upon reviewing them, Wu Ming didn't display any sense of helplessness because these items could be found. If the Wu Family mobilized all its Strength, he estimated it wouldn't take long before a large batch of materials would be transported up the mountain.
"Then there's no problem!"
Qin Fang nodded, "Brother Wu, please also prepare a quiet room for me. The preparation of the detoxification agents requires a very quiet environment to complete, and the higher the success rate..."
"That's absolutely not a problem. I've already prepared it for you. Just go directly to the study in the backyard; no one will disturb you there..."
Wu Ming nodded and quickly agreed. As for whether it was properly arranged, that wasn't important. As long as everything was ready for Qin Fang when needed, that was all that mattered.
As Wu Ming had said, the Wu Family wielded an immense influence near Lushan, and their power permeated every aspect of the region.
The prescription that Qin Fang put forward contained many items of an esoteric nature, such as Viper saliva, venom, eyes, Snake Gallbladder, toad's tongue, beehive, bear bile...
All in all, they were extremely odd and bizarre and seemed sheer nonsense to others. The most troubling for Qin Fang was a stalk of Old Ganoderma or a ginseng or polygonum multiflorum of the same age, which were indispensable catalysts. If the age was insufficient, the failure rate of the Pharmacopeia would increase by a lot.
However, when it came down to it, this was the moment for the Wu Family to demonstrate its formidable power. Although Qin Fang initially estimated it would take six hours to collect everything, it took merely four hours for Wu Ming to receive word that all the materials had been gathered and were on their way to the Wu Family's old house.
As for the necessary tools, although it was too late for them to be custom-made, the equipment from a nearby school's laboratory would suffice for the time being.
