Zhuo Yun was stunned. Despite almost getting his finger clipped by the pillbox cover, he did not mind it.
Old Mr. Pei felt that he could not be the only one suffering the shock, so he sneered. “Do you know how much Huo Yao’s meds are worth?”
Zhuo Yun shook his head and had no clue.
“The Apothecaries’ Association would grade this as above grade S+. Do the math yourself,” said Old Mr. Pei as he stroked his beard.
S+ grade medicine was very rare at the Apothecaries’ Association. They were not only extremely hard to refine, but they were also exceptionally effective.
For instance, a man with a terminal illness or on the brink of death might not get completely cured after taking S+ grade medicine, but he could live for over decades. Hence, such medicine was obviously incredible.
Moreover, S+ grade medicine was not solely used for treating sickness.
Zhuo Yun was beyond shocked, and a tsunami flooded his mind. He had once seen S+ grade medicine at a black-market auction. They started at $5 million for one pill!
Zhuo Yun looked down at the pillbox in his hands. Old Mr. Pei could not have lied about it, so… Zhuo Yun’s limbs instantly went weak. He turned to look at Yang Yi standing beside him. “Yi, can you support me? I don’t know why I feel a little giddy right now. Maybe it’s because I haven’t had dinner yet.”
Yang Yi’s hands were shivering too. He was equally shocked as Zhuo Yun.
Old Mr. Pei looked at Zhuo Yun and Yang Yi’s look of astonishment with relish. The blow Huo Yao gave him dissipated inexplicably.
It certainly felt great to see others suffer from shock.
Huo Yao looked at Old Mr. Pei quietly. She discovered that people became more mischievous with age.

Zhuo Yun went back to Min Yu’s villa after dropping Huo Yao home.
Both he and Yang Yi looked lifeless when they saw Min Yu and even walked as if in a stupor.
Min Yu’s face was no longer sallow today. He raised his brow and looked at Yang Yi and Zhuo Yun. “You two…”
Zhuo Yun prodded Yang Yi. “Give him the meds.”
Out of fear that his hands would go weak, he had given the honor of carrying the medicine to Yang Yi.
Yang Yi removed the tiny pillbox, which was wrapped several times within his jacket, and placed it on the coffee table.
Min Yu glanced at them before he reached out to pick up the pillbox rather casually.
The instant he touched the pillbox, Zhuo Yun and Yang Yi hurriedly reminded him.
“Yu, be careful.”
“These meds are super precious.”
Min Yu went speechless.
“…”
He was the mighty one… How could he not compare to a box of pills???
Were they nuts?
Zhuo Yun touched his nose before he muttered softly. “Old Mr. Pei said these pills that Miss Huo made are S+ grade.”
Min Yu’s hands paused. Was the kid capable of making S+ grade medicine?
Despite the surprise in Min Yu’s heart, his face remained calm. Then he opened the pillbox.
There were at least 20 of those pills inside.
Min Yu: “…”
A minute later, Min Yu closed the box nonchalantly and placed it on the table. “Did Miss Huo say how they should be taken?”
He sounded pretty composed.
“Oh! She said that these were all she could make at the moment and told you not to finish them too quickly,” replied Zhuo Yun courteously.
These were all she could make???
Min Yu was flabbergasted.
“…”
Exhale.
