C29 If You Want to See Then Just Watch!

Lu Yu maintained a calm demeanor, but he knew Divine Doctor Dong was correct.

Even the prodigious Heavenly Emperor Taiqian had relied on his family's inexhaustible resources of medicinal herbs and pill formulas to build his expertise.

"Indeed, Yu'er. Your sister is still frail. We should have Doctor Dong attend to her first," Madame Yurou suggested.

Madame Yurou's reluctance to trust her son wasn't the issue; with Lu Lengshuang bedridden, she, as a mother, preferred not to gamble with her daughter's health and opted for the more cautious approach.

"What are you waiting for? Bring the medicine here," Doctor Dong commanded the apprentice behind him.

Snapping to attention, the apprentice hurriedly passed the medicine to a maid, who then proceeded to administer it to Lu Lengshuang.

Lu Yu stood silently to the side, respecting his mother's decision, unwilling to contradict her in the presence of others.

"I refuse to take that medicine. Little Yu, please bring out the pills you've crafted. I have faith in you!" Lu Lengshuang interjected abruptly.

Her words cast a hush over the room.

Doctor Dong let out a weary sigh and, stroking his beard, said, "Miss, my medicine may be bitter, but it's effective against the Bone Softening Powder. Please, drink it."

Madame Yurou chimed in, "Shuang'er, don't be reckless."

"I'm not being reckless, Mother. Trust in Little Yu just this once!" Lu Lengshuang insisted with conviction.

Deep down, Lu Lengshuang doubted that Lu Yu had successfully refined the medicine.

Yet, the situation at hand made it awkward for Lu Yu to back down.

Lu Lengshuang had always been protective of her younger brother and couldn't fathom him concocting anything harmful to her. Even if his pills proved ineffective, there was still time to resort to Doctor Dong's remedy.

Madame Yurou found herself torn, uncertain of the best course of action. While other matters might be negotiable, her daughter's well-being demanded utmost caution.

Observing the unfolding drama, Doctor Dong let out a derisive chuckle, "Young Marquis, since you've produced this medicine, allow this old man to witness its effects."

He was convinced that Lu Yu couldn't possibly have succeeded in concocting the medicine.

By now, the room had filled with onlookers.

The maids and guards, though keeping their distance, watched intently. The buzz about the young duke's medicine-making had spread throughout the estate.

It was an unusual spectacle, and everyone was eager to join in the excitement.

"Fine, since it's not some treasured medicine, go ahead and watch," Lu Yu said, as he opened the wooden box.

Not some treasured medicine, huh...

Divine Doctor Dong smirked inwardly, thinking the young duke was playing it safe.

Yet, his face betrayed none of his inner mockery, his smile remaining intact.

But that smile soon solidified on Divine Doctor Dong's face as his eyes were engulfed in a brilliant golden glow.

Hum—

The thirty top-tier Sky Origin Golden Pills, which had been resting in the wooden box, now radiated an astonishing golden light.

Suddenly, a rich fragrance of medicine permeated the room, compelling everyone to inhale deeply. A sensation of warmth coursed through their organs, banishing fatigue and revitalizing their spirits.

"What kind of medicine is this!?"

Divine Doctor Dong's face transformed with shock, his mouth agape, words failing him.

He stepped closer, observing the pills' surfaces shimmering with golden light, each hinting at a profound aura within.

Each pill was impeccable, seemingly crafted by the natural order of the universe, without a speck of impurity.

"Could this be superior-grade medicine? No, I've seen Daliang's only superior-grade 'Fire Avoiding Pill,' and it doesn't come close to this!"

A tremor struck Divine Doctor Dong's heart, disbelief etched in his eyes. "Could it be... this is peak-grade medicine!?"

The pills glowed with a divine light, pure and unblemished!

Such was the hallmark of peak-grade medicine!

"Sister, you're still weak; you should only take one at a time!"

Lu Yu seemed oblivious to the astonished onlookers as he placed a Heavenly Yuan Golden Pill into Lu Lengshuang's mouth.

Lu Lengshuang accepted without hesitation, swallowing the medicine.
