Chapter 137 Price Gouging
"Alright."
Chen Xuan hesitated slightly but agreed.
Chen Xuan was also furious at the faces of the Murong family. Moreover, Murong Meng was Su Yunxi's good best friend. If Murong Meng got into trouble, Su Yunxi would also be sad.
Murong Meng looked at Chen Xuan with some doubt, her brows furrowed, and she asked suspiciously, "Can he do it? My grandfather was injured by an internal force martial artist, and many famous doctors couldn't treat him, saying that such an injury ordinary doctors couldn't heal."
Chen Xuan's lips twitched. He didn't expect Murong Meng to question him.
Su Yunxi also frowned and persuaded, "Xiao Meng, treat a dying horse as if it's alive. How can we not try?"
Murong Meng's expression changed, and she finally nodded.
She turned to Chen Xuan and said, "Then let's not delay. Chen Xuan, you come with me." kanδん
Taking Murong Meng's car, Chen Xuan quickly arrived at the Murong family's residence.
As soon as they entered the living room, Murong Xu suddenly stepped forward. His gaze swept over Chen Xuan behind Murong Meng, and he chuckled, "Cousin, is this the medical expert you found? This kid looks younger than me!"
Murong Meng's face turned from green to white. "You don't need to worry about it. As long as you can heal Grandpa's injury."
Murong Xu sneered, "Heal the injury? I'm afraid it won't heal the injury but worsen it. I think it's possible that some people deliberately want to harm Grandpa."
Murong Meng's beautiful eyes were filled with anger. "You're talking nonsense. Why would I harm Grandpa?"
"It's not that you don't want to give up your shares to save Grandpa," Murong Xu pouted and directly smeared Murong Meng.
Murong Meng's face turned flushed with anger. "What do you mean I don't want to save Grandpa? It's clearly you guys who are holding onto the shares and not letting go, treating me as a sucker!"
"Don't talk nonsense, this is everyone's idea!" Murong Xu sneered a few times.
Chen Xuan frowned. The Murong family was really shameless.
At this moment, an old TCM doctor sitting in the main seat stood up.
His face was full of arrogance, and he said impatiently, "Hurry up and give me a clear answer. Are you selling the pill or not? If not, I'll leave. I don't have time to play with you."
Upon hearing this, Murong Xu took a breath and said quickly, "Yes, yes, but we need a moment. We need to settle our family matters first."
"Hmph!"
The old TCM doctor looked displeased and took a breath. "Then I'll wait two more minutes. This is my final bottom line. There are several other families waiting in line. If it weren't for your Murong family's sincerity, I would have left long ago."
"I don't know what kind of pill it is. May I observe it?" Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows and smiled at the old TCM doctor.
"Seeing your uncultured appearance, I'll let you see it today to avoid saying I'm too overbearing. This is a divine elixir. Once taken, injuries caused by internal force martial artists will be cured immediately!"
The old TCM doctor spoke with confidence, exaggerating the wondrous elixir to the heavens.
Many people were astonished.
But the more he was like this, the more Chen Xuan felt that this pill was very similar to the Earth Injury Pill he refined.
Then, the old TCM doctor carefully, holding his breath, slowly took out a jade box from his sleeve. He reached out and slowly opened the jade box.
Indeed, a round brown pill lay quietly inside the jade box.
In an instant, a medicinal fragrance filled the air, refreshing and invigorating, making the Murong family members present feel refreshed.
Even Murong Meng, smelling the fragrance of the pill, no longer doubted whether the pill could save her grandfather's life.
"It's indeed a divine pill!"
"I just smelled it, and I feel much more relaxed."
The eyes of the Murong family members were all shining.
Chen Xuan, however, looked at the pill with a strange expression.
Isn't this the Earth Injury Pill he refined?
How did it end up here?
He gritted his teeth secretly. Black Tiger was indeed black-hearted, daring to sell the pills he casually threw away at such a high price!
"Kid, have you seen enough?"
The old TCM doctor glanced at Chen Xuan condescendingly.
Chen Xuan was speechless and said, "I've seen enough."
Seeing Chen Xuan's strange expression, the old TCM doctor thought Chen Xuan was shocked by the peerless elixir. He snorted and carefully put it away again.
"Kid, how is it? Are you still planning to swindle us? Murong Meng is not sharp enough and was tricked by you! But don't think you can trick us." Murong Xu said with full confidence, pointing at Chen Xuan's nose.
He also hoped someone could cure Old Master Murong, but Murong Meng was the most likely contender for the Murong family's heir. Without the shares, she would be nothing in the future.
"Let's let Chen Xuan see Grandpa first." Murong Meng was also a little unconfident but still wanted Chen Xuan to try.
Just as Murong Xu was about to step forward to insult Murong Meng, Uncle Murong Xing stood up at this moment. "Stop arguing. Grandpa's condition is critical. Let's focus on treating Grandpa's illness first."
Murong Xing obediently shut his mouth.
Murong Meng nodded. "Chen Xuan, hurry up and go see the old master."
"Wait!"
Just as Chen Xuan was about to go, Murong Xing spoke again.
Murong Meng frowned and looked at Murong Xing.
"Since it's the person you invited to see the doctor, if he can't cure it, then you'll pay all the shares!" Murong Xu said.
"What?" Murong Meng couldn't believe it.
Murong Xu smiled. "Murong Meng, don't rush. Of course, Eldest Uncle is not unreasonable. Then you will pay the bulk of the 15% shares, and the remaining 5% will be divided equally among us. Is that acceptable?"
Many people nodded with smiles upon hearing this. 5% divided among them would only be 1% each, which they could accept.
"Okay, I agree!"
Murong Meng gritted her teeth and finally agreed. If they continued to bicker like this, Grandpa would really die.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan sneered in his heart.
The Murong family was quite shameless. This was clearly a feint to advance.
Therefore, he sneered and sent a message to Black Tiger: The shares are too little.
"Kid, hurry up and see the old master. Time is running out for you. If you can't, just say so." Murong Xing glanced at Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan walked to Old Master Murong's bedside and reached out to take his pulse.
Murong Meng clenched her fists tightly, looking at Chen Xuan expectantly.
To be honest, many Murong family members also hoped that Chen Xuan could cure Old Master Murong's illness, because even though the shares were small, they were still flesh and blood.
A moment later, Chen Xuan put down Old Master Murong's withered wrist and stood up.
"Chen Xuan, how is it?" Murong Meng asked quickly.
Chen Xuan deliberately put on a stern face and shook his head. "I can't cure Old Master Murong's illness."
"Oh."
Although Murong Meng didn't have much hope for Chen Xuan to cure Old Master Murong's illness, she couldn't hide her disappointment.
"I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault," Murong Meng looked at Chen Xuan and sighed.
Chen Xuan nodded faintly.
At first, Chen Xuan did intend to heal Old Master Murong's injuries. Although Old Master Murong was seriously ill, this injury was nothing in his eyes.
But now, after seeing the faces of the Murong family, he didn't want to heal Old Master Murong for free. These shares would be a lesson for them.
Besides, he had already promised Su Qian to bring the Su family back to the capital and suppress the Su family in the capital. The Murong family was not trivial. Although far from the Su family in the capital, it was also a large family. These shares could enrich and strengthen his power.
"Miss Murong, I'll take my leave then." Chen Xuan said, turning and leaving the Murong family.
Murong Xing turned to the old TCM doctor. "Old sir, our Murong family is willing to exchange 20% of our shares for your divine elixir!"
At this moment, the old TCM doctor said slowly, "Twenty percent? Hehe, you must be mistaken!"
"What do you mean?"
Murong Xu frowned and looked at the old TCM doctor in confusion.
The old TCM doctor smiled. "That was the price from a couple of days ago. The price has gone up now! Forty percent of the shares for one pill!"
