Upon hearing Hong Changqing’s response, Charlie couldn’t help but ask, intrigued, “So, if you simmer the medicine slowly, does that make it more effective than other medicines?” “Absolutely!”<fn9be3> Original content can be found at </fn9be3>


    Hong Changqing nodded with enthusiasm, borating, “This method is truly remarkable. Whether you’re using it to prepare soup, craft medicine, or boil down a medicinal paste to create pills, it significantly enhances the potency of your final product!” After pausing for a moment, Hong Changqing continued, “For instance, right now I’m developing a prescription designed to nourish yin and yang and help a man reim his vitality. If this is prepared in a standard casserole, it may take three days and nine doses to have any effect. In contrast, using my method, it could achieve the same results in just two days with only six doses.”


    As he spoke, Hong Changqing became increasingly animated, exining, “But that’s not even the most crucial part; the most important aspect is that the properties of the medicine will undergo a qualitative transformation!”


    “Let’s consider men in their seventies and eighties as an example. If they take the same prescription but it hasn’t been brewed using this medicinal cauldron, even a month of consumption might only allow them to sing every night, and the quality of that singing would barely reach a score of 60 points, which is just enough to pass,” he continued. “However, if they consume the medicine prepared in this cauldron, not only could they sing nightly, but their vitality score could soar to 70 points, or even 75! This is incredibly powerful! It not only intensifies the effects of the medicine but elevates them to a whole new level.”


    X, who had been listening nearby, felt her cheeks flush at his serious exnation and couldn’t help but mutter under her breath, “Bah! That lecherous monk is shameless! I have no respect for the old!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Hong Changqing’s face turned crimson, and he quickly rified, “Everyone… I didn’t mean anything by that, just making aparison…”


    Charlie understood people like Hong Changqing; despite being a gifted Taoist disciple, he was quite worldly, eager to use his knowledge to cater to the affluent, much like those who are eager to serve the rich and famous. He likely spent a lot of time mingling with the wealthy elite. Once these individuals reach the pinnacle of material sess, they inevitably seek youth in old age, health in sickness, prosperity in impotence, and life after death. Someone like Hong Changqing fits that niche perfectly, possessing the expertise to cater to such needs.


    However, Charlie wasn’t particrly interested in those aspects. Instead, he was fascinated by the fact that this medicinal cauldron could enhance the effects of medicine through slow simmering. He suspected that its magicy not just in its internal design but also in its unique materials.


    “If that’s the case,” Charlie pondered, “couldn’t I achieve a double enhancement of both materials and formations by utilizing spiritual energy to refine the medicine?”


    This thought made Charlie even more excited. As he observed Hong Changqing’s eager demeanor, he found himself less repulsed than before. He asked, “By the way, what do you typically offer those influential people?”


    Hong Changqing replied candidly, “Master Wade, the services I provide primarily include healing the living, saving the dead, strengthening the body, self-cultivation, feng shui insights, fortune-telling, and dream interpretation. Thanks to this medicinal cauldron and the prescriptions passed down by the masters of Taizhen Dao, the refined medicines I’ve created are quite well-known among the elite, leading to my association with the title of a celestial master over time…”


    Charlie nodded and inquired, “I heard you have connections with the An family in the United States?”


    Hong Changqing answered without hesitation, “Yes, the matriarch of the An family began her journey into Taoism two decades ago, introduced by one of my clients at that time, and she became a devoted practitioner.”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
