Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement Chapter 319: Seeking Immortality

Ye Ningwan was greatly shocked by this fact and returned to her residence in disbelief.

Tao saw her return and said with a smile, "Miss Ye, everything that needs tidying has been tidied. Is there anything else you need?"

"Tao, do you know we are being softly confined here?" Ye Ningwan asked.

Tao nodded but explained, "It’s not confinent; we’re just staying here temporarily. Once Miss Ye and those elderly doctors have researched the drug, we can leave. So, Miss Ye, you have to work hard; whether we can leave soon depends on you."

Ye Ningwan: "..."

"Tao, you go out first; let calm down alone."

Tao nodded, "Miss Ye, if you need anything, just let know."

Ye Ningwan ignored her and walked into the bedroom.

Once in the bedroom, she touched her lower abdon.

She originally thought Wan Yufeng wanted to develop a drug to halt his early aging, and once it was developed, they would be released.

But now, it seems things are not as simple as she imagined.

What Wan Yufeng wanted seed to be more than just a drug to stop early aging.

Even his symptoms of early aging were quite abnormal.

If it was truly early aging disease, he might not have lived this long before dying.

His symptoms seed more like the consequences of chaotic dication.

Suddenly, Ye Ningwan thought of a possibility and imdiately went out to find those old Traditional Chinese dicine doctors.

"Tell the truth, the dicine Wan Yufeng asked you to research, what exactly is it?" Ye Ningwan demanded.

The few people exchanged glances and finally all their gazes landed on Mr. Cheng.

Mr. Cheng is a titan in the Traditional Chinese dicine world, his ancestors were Imperial Physicians, with a profound family heritage, so these people still look to him as their leader.

"Indeed, Mr. Wan isn’t just asking us to research drugs to treat early aging. What he wants is a drug that can keep people forever youthful. Miss Bai is also a young girl and should know how much young girls like staying youthful. If we can develop an effective drug in this field, it will be imnsely profitable."

"Mr. Cheng, you’re still trying to keep this from ? Since you want to participate, you know who I am, the Divine Doctor Bai Zhi, you should know if I get involved in a more core aspect, I’ll know what you’re really doing. If you refuse to tell the truth, none of us will be leaving." Ye Ningwan coldly warned.

Her words made several people’s faces stiffen.

Mr. Cheng sighed, "Miss Bai is indeed a smart person; no wonder she can achieve so much in Traditional Chinese dicine. Indeed, besides hoping we can develop a drug to keep people youthful, Mr. Wan also hopes... we can research a drug to reverse aging, extending people’s appearance and lifespan."

"Why don’t you just say elixir of life instead of using all these embellishing words?" Ye Ningwan mocked him with a sharp comnt.

Mr. Cheng was embarrassed.

Perhaps he himself also knew how absurd this request was.

For hundreds of years, so many have devoted themselves to this research, yet never succeeded.

But why do people still want to try even when so many have failed?

Because once successful, the imnse benefits derived from it will be imasurable.

Thus, even if they found it absurd, they still accepted this task.

"You are all titans in the Traditional Chinese dicine world, and I thought being doctors to save people, you’d adhere to dical ethics. I didn’t expect you to be not only people in the Traditional Chinese dicine world but also wandering Taoists. Elixir of life? Ridiculous, don’t you know what Traditional Chinese dicine abides by? Although I haven’t had much schooling, I know what is written on the stone tablet at the entrance to Traditional Chinese dicine schools: the worldview of Traditional Chinese dicine respects nature and cherishes nature. The great natural world lies in its endless cycle, and this cycle is not one entity’s life continuing indefinitely but the ever-replacing life cycles of all things. If there really was an elixir of life, the rule of nature in this world would be broken. Don’t any of you understand this reasoning?" Ye Ningwan mocked.

Mr. Cheng’s expression was serious as he said, "Naturally, we understand these principles. But Miss Bai, when you reach our age, you’ll realize the preciousness of life. Even knowing the natural cycle of all things, there’s still hope in the heart."

"Ha, so not only does Wan Yufeng want the elixir of life, but you want it too," Ye Ningwan laughed coldly.

Mr. Cheng said nothing and the others were silent.

Ye Ningwan took a deep breath, "I understand, but if we never succeed in the research, what then?"

"Try a few more tis; maybe there’s a chance," Mr. Cheng said.

Ye Ningwan’s face darkened.

If it never succeeds, she’s afraid she’ll be stuck here with these old n, confined until death.

No, perhaps being confined until Wan Yufeng dies might give her a chance to leave.

But by that ti, she’s afraid her secret will no longer be concealed.

"Miss Ye, it’s ti to eat."

Tao brought over the als delivered from outside and called Ye Ningwan to eat.

Ye Ningwan actually had no appetite, but... she couldn’t not eat, so she forced herself to take a few bites.

However...

"Ugh..."

"Miss Ye, what’s wrong?"

Tao hadn’t expected Ye Ningwan to suddenly vomit while eating.

She quickly followed her into the bathroom, but was waved out by Ye Ningwan.

After Ye Ningwan had finished throwing up, she forced herself to get up and rinsed her mouth.

"Miss Ye, what happened? Are you sick?" Tao asked worriedly.

Ye Ningwan said, "Did you forget who I am? If I’m sick, I’ll diagnose myself. I’m not sick, just... it’s too damp here, and my body wasn’t well to begin with so I’m allergic to the air. Next ti, please make sure the als are light when delivered, it’s too greasy, and I’m uncomfortable eating it."

"Okay, I understand." Tao quickly agreed.

Ye Ningwan, exhausted from vomiting, had Tao clean up the al; she didn’t want to eat anymore.

She asked Tao to prepare so fruits and place them on the coffee table to eat when she felt hungry.

Then, she lay in bed to rest.

However, she hadn’t rested long before Mr. Cheng ca looking for her.

He said everyone would be researching a new prescription today and test its effectiveness.

Inwardly, Ye Ningwan scoffed.

There was no elixir of life in this world, yet these people remained obsessed.

Nonetheless, she was uninterested in debating with this group of obsessed individuals; after getting up, she went to research the prescription with Mr. Chen.

"I suddenly rembered sothing."

This ti, after another failure, Ye Ningwan suddenly spoke.

Mr. Chen asked, "What is it?"

"In the dical Alchemy, there’s a formula supposedly related to staying youthful," Ye Ningwan said.

"Oh? Where’s that book?" Mr. Chen asked excitedly.

"The Xie Family in Tong City, my master handed it over to them along with half a token for safekeeping back then."
