Chapter 850 — The Kang Family's Urging
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
"What the hell, was it some kind of trash site you were on? What kind of garbage is that!" The moment Kang Jingming heard Wang Shubin's words, he knew it was completely unworkable. If he drugged Guan Xin and did that to her, he would be lucky if she did not hate him to death—as if she would then tell him the prescription! Dream on!
"Yes… yes…" Wang Shubin wiped the sweat from his brow, thinking to himself, didn't you tell me to look it up? But he did not dare talk back.
Just as they were talking, Kang Jingming's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was actually his older brother, Kang Jinglong, calling. He quickly answered: "Big Brother?"
"Zhaoming, I heard you're being discharged today. How are you doing?" Kang Jinglong did have business with Kang Jingming, but since his younger brother was just leaving the hospital, as the elder brother he still ought to express his concern first.
"Not bad, though I still have to use a wheelchair. Big Brother, you're looking for me about something?" Kang Jingming asked.
"What else but that matter?" Kang Jinglong sighed. "The Xiao family came to the house to pressure Grandfather into the marriage, and they even brought along a Mystic-rank expert. Damn them—are they trying to intimidate our Kang family? So you need to hurry up on your end. You absolutely must win over Guan Xin and get that prescription! Whatever means you use, it must be done as soon as possible—otherwise your brother will have no choice but to marry Wang Xinyan…"
Kang Jingming thought to himself, what a wonderful thing it would be to marry Wang Xinyan! If it were up to him to marry her, he would be more than happy to!
But he also knew that if the Kang family truly obtained the recipe for the Life-Extending Detox Pill, it would achieve a qualitative leap and, on the strength of that recipe alone, become a red-hot great family overnight!
Although none of the families that had taken the Life-Extending Detox Pill had publicly proclaimed anything about its effects, they had all secretly sent people to inquire of the Kang family whether the Life-Extending Detox Pill the Kang family had purchased at the auction might be available for transfer, and if so, they would offer a reasonable price!
A reasonable price? The Kang family had already spent more than four hundred million to buy that Life-Extending Detox Pill, so would a "reasonable price" not have to be more than four hundred million? It was truly unimaginable! But Kang Jingming was also clear that even five hundred million would be worth it to the old-timers of some great families, or even of hidden families! A single pill that added ten years of life—that was buying life with money! At any price, it was worth it!
Moreover, Kang Jingming had experienced the effects of the Life-Extending Detox Pill firsthand. Even now he was still reaping boundless benefits from it—otherwise, his recovery from that earlier cold, and now from being hit by a house, would have been remarkably fast, all thanks to the change in his constitution!
If it had been the old Kang Jingming, frail and weak from kidney deficiency, he would have long since been laid up in a hospital and unable to come out!
So once the Kang family obtained the prescription and refined the Life-Extending Detox Pill, which of those great houses would not show the Kang family a measure of respect? When that time came, the Kang family's elevation to great-house status would follow as a matter of course!
"I'll get on it right away..." Kang Jingming said. "But this isn't the sort of thing that can be rushed, is it?"
