  Just then, Chen the official was so scared that he ran over with his pants wet. He grabbed Wen Fei's arm and shouted: "Where is there an old man who keeps smiling at me?"

  Several people looked over, and naturally they couldn't see anything. Wen Fei's heart moved slightly, and he asked: "An old man, what does he look like?"

  "Wearing a Zhongshan suit, with a peasant's hat on his head and glasses perched on the end of his nose, he smiled, revealing bloody teeth..." Chen Zhenghe spoke with an air of importance, making everyone who listened feel uneasy.

  A staff member forced a smile and said: "When people die, it's like a lamp going out. What ghosts are there in this world?"

  Wen Fei was also unsure, and he didn't open his eyes. Naturally, he didn't know whether there really were ghosts or if Chen Zhenghe's behavior was just a lingering symptom of being scared. However, after seeing Wen Fei, Chen Zhenghe inexplicably grabbed onto Wen Fei's arm and refused to let go even half a step.

  When no one was looking, Huang Sheng stretched out a big thumb: "Brother still has skills!"

  Wen Fei's heart was actually quite annoyed, if a beautiful woman like her would grab onto him and not let go, that would be somewhat acceptable. But being grabbed by a man in his thirties, that's...not very pleasant!

  Fortunately, apart from these, Chen Zheng and looked relatively normal, with no other signs. The two of them stayed for several hours before finally leaving. Chen Zheng almost rolled on the ground, refusing to let Wen Fei leave, and was eventually persuaded by the staff.

  "How's it going, little brother? What's the situation?" Huang Sheng asked aloud.

  Wen Fei cursed in his heart, "How the hell do I know what's going on? I'm not a doctor." But he still said some nonsense: "It doesn't look like he's possessed by evil spirits. It looks like he was scared and has some mental problems. Hmm, it's also possible... Ah, Huang, you go ask around about this nursing home, the more detailed the better. Especially that villa we just went to, did an old man die there before?"

  Huang Sheng was shocked, and goosebumps suddenly appeared: "What did you say?"

  Wen Fei nodded slightly, not saying a word. Huang Sheng didn't say anything and started making a phone call. Wen Fei straightened his chair and pretended to fall asleep. When he was about to leave, Wen Fei left two pills of Dan medicine for Chen Zhenghe, which were the prescription given by Chen Niwan last time. The Dan medicine personally refined by Chen Niwan had been finished by Wen Fei, and the emptiness and deficiency in his body had slowly recovered.

  These days, I've been feeling incredibly energetic and spirited. Constantly traveling between the Northern Song Dynasty and modern times, busy with this and that, yet still maintaining a robust spirit. More importantly, Wen Fei gradually discovered that activating the jade pendant to travel through time also consumes energy. That energy is none other than one's own vital energy, so at first, I was left feeling weak, even making Ye Lao Daifu suspect that I had overexerted myself in bed.

  Thinking of Ye Lao Daifu, Wen Fei felt a bit embarrassed. The two pills he left for Chen Zheng were actually made with the help of Ye Lao Daifu. Last time, they even agreed to sell some wild medicinal materials together, but after his own business took off, he completely forgot about Ye Lao Daifu.

  Although this medicine is not very expensive, it's extremely troublesome to prepare. Old Doctor Ye actually charges a very low price, just enough to cover the labor cost.

  The elixir personally refined by Chen Niwan has a much better effect than the one refined by Ye Laodaifu. Firstly, the medicinal materials used in ancient times were of better quality. Secondly, the formula provided by Chen Niwan is a simple one that can be prepared at a pharmacy. The authentic Taoist elixir recipe, on the other hand, is much more complicated and requires alchemy skills to truly refine it! As for alchemy, not to mention in this era, even during the Northern Song Dynasty, it was extremely secretive, and only a few people knew about it!

  Although this Dan medicine is only an introductory foundation-building material for the Taoist school, it will not be difficult to obtain a good reputation. However, it must be a high-quality medicine that has been carefully selected and processed using special techniques, especially in terms of its preparation method, which involves transforming the medicinal properties of the material to achieve maximum efficacy. This is not something that ordinary people can discern.

  Moreover, not only Taoist alchemists but also Buddhist esoteric practitioners and even highly skilled martial artists have their own secret transmissions regarding medicinal concoctions. This is the true secret within secrecy, and it's also the reason why various schools pass down their skills but not their medicine.

  This Dan medicine was originally made from the Dan furnace Dan method, flying Dan law refining, now separated and taken, the efficacy is only one or two percent, the dosage has been modified. In conjunction with Nei Gong Fa, take 30 pills before practicing, on the 14th to 16th of the lunar calendar, at midnight, when the moon is bright, stop taking during cloudy or rainy weather.

  There are also those who are weak and frail, the elderly take a dose of warm wine with 27 pills every day before bed, and see results in half a month. (Using this method, the efficacy of the medicine is reduced by six or seven tenths) However, compared to ordinary people, after most of the efficacy of this prescription has been reduced, it can still greatly supplement essence and marrow, strengthen tendons and bones, fortify Qi and blood, nourish essence and spirit, and harmonize the five flavors. Its wonderful uses are endless.

  Although it is not a special medicine for fright, the syndrome of being frightened and losing one's soul can also lead to deficiency of kidney qi and blood. Just like when Wen Fei's yin spirit went out at night and was startled by a stone lion, the symptoms of deficiency became even more severe. Using this medicinal dan to supplement the essence and nourish yang qi is always correct. At least it will be somewhat helpful for Chen Zhenghe's illness.

  "Indeed, my younger brother was right!" Huang Sheng's words interrupted Wen Fei's random thoughts: "That place indeed had a death!"

  Wen Fei suddenly came back to his senses, but heard Huang Sheng's mysterious words: "That sanatorium was originally under a nursing home. It was built in the 1950s and 1960s when there were old cadres being beaten to death, right where Director Chen pointed!"

  Wen Fei's heart skipped a beat, it seemed that Chen Zheng was indeed possessed by a ghost and not just crazy as others had imagined. Of course, it was also possible that he was being haunted every day and was driven a bit neurotic.

  "Brother, you're really something!" Huang Sheng gave a thumbs up: "You spotted the problem with that place at a glance! Looks like Director Chen will have to move to a different house."

  Wen Fei said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, don't forget. Chen Zhenghe has been saying that there are ghosts wherever he lives, but after moving into this sanatorium, the situation has actually improved a lot!"

  Huang Sheng asked: "Younger brother, what does this mean?" He humbly sought guidance, for such mysterious and inexplicable things, Huang Sheng was completely in the dark.

  Wen Fei shook his head, he couldn't explain it clearly now, just a vague feeling. Just as they were talking, Huang Sheng's phone rang again, and after answering it, he seemed to have transformed into another person. The cars stopped, people became very respectful, even their tone of voice dropped by eight degrees. Some of the confident and self-assured air that successful people usually had in front of Wen Fei was gone, replaced by extreme humility.
