Chapter 117 Be Careful Not to Choke
Sitting before him was a photograph of a gigantic red mushroom.
The mushroom was about a meter tall, and its overall color appeared extremely bright, like an enlarged version of some poisonous mushrooms.
However, Shen Feng knew this mushroom wasn't poisonous, as such a spiritual medicine also existed in the Immortal Realm.
Blood Spirit Mushroom.
A spiritual medicine that could extend one's life. Although not particularly rare in the Immortal Realm, it was definitely scarce on Earth. Shen Feng even believed that this was the only Blood Spirit Mushroom left on the entire planet.
Shen Feng could use the Blood Spirit Mushroom to refine pills. As long as his cultivation improved further, he would soon be able to refine medicine again.
With the pills refined from the Blood Spirit Mushroom, Shen Feng could significantly increase his parents' lifespan and improve their health. Therefore, he was determined to obtain this mushroom.
Seeing Shen Feng's interest in the Blood Spirit Mushroom, Kong Yaonian was startled for a moment before his spirits lifted, "Young brother, do you recognize this plant? The Chinese Medicine Association of Huaxia Country once found two such gigantic mushrooms."
"According to research and experiments, this mushroom is truly miraculous. If someone has a cold or fever, simply holding a slice in one's mouth can cure it within three minutes."

"Besides that, the medical community of Huaxia Country hasn't discovered any other effects. This mushroom can be stored for a long time without rotting. There were attempts to cultivate more by the medical community, but unfortunately, all were unsuccessful."
Blood Spirit Mushrooms need to be refined to unleash their full medicinal power. Unrefined Blood Spirit Mushrooms can only exert a very small amount of medicinal power, but that small amount can have an immediate effect on fevers and colds.
Kong Yaonian continued, "To represent Huaxia Country in the upcoming International Medical Competition, one must first pass the domestic medical selection."
"The preparation for the domestic medical selection is already complete, and the date is set. It will officially take place in Tianhai one month from now."
"The domestic selection is divided into traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine categories. Three individuals will be chosen from each category, and then the group from traditional Chinese medicine will compete against the group from Western medicine to decide who will represent Huaxia Country in the International Medical Competition."
"This last mushroom has been preserved by the Chinese Medicine Association all this time. Whomever can lead traditional Chinese medicine to the International Medical Competition will receive this mushroom as a prize."
Since the unrefined Blood Spirit Mushroom does not have earth-shattering effects, it's reasonable for the Chinese Medicine Association to offer it as a reward.
Now, to get the Blood Spirit Mushroom, one must participate in the domestic medical selection. Should Shen Feng sneakily steal the Blood Spirit Mushroom without anyone noticing? He wasn't interested in doing such sneaky things.
"Young brother, are you interested in participating in the domestic selection now?" Kong Yaonian asked.
After pondering for a moment, Shen Feng realized that it would be considerably difficult to find another Blood Spirit Mushroom on Earth nowadays, and such an endeavor would be an even greater waste of energy than participating in the medical competition.
To increase his parents' lifespan and to improve their health, participating in this tedious medical competition was not unacceptable to him. He said, "You haven't convinced me."
Upon hearing this.
Kong Yaonian's expression changed in an instant, but then Shen Feng pointed at the Blood Spirit Mushroom in the photo and continued, "However, it has convinced me."
"In one month, I will participate in the domestic selection on time."
As his words fell.
Shen Feng stood up from the sofa and walked towards the exit of the villa.
Kong Xiaoxuan looked at the seemingly arrogant Shen Feng and said, "Practicing medicine is not a joke. Are you going to participate in the domestic medical competition? It seems you didn't heed my advice just now. We'll see each other at the selection! I forgot to tell you that I'll be participating in the Western medicine national competition. You'd better make it into the top three for Chinese medicine. Otherwise, you won't have a chance to show me your superb medical skills."
Shen Feng's steps didn't falter. He didn't pay any attention to Kong Xiaoxuan at all.
As she watched Shen Feng disappear from her line of sight, Kong Xiaoxuan turned to Kong Yaonian, "Grandfather, have you really become muddle-headed? What kind of Chinese medicine skills could he have at such a young age? You recommended him to participate in the Chinese medicine selection, but what if it becomes a joke in the end?"
Kong Yaonian hadn't snapped out of his joy. Shen Feng's agreement to participate in the national medical competition thrilled him deep inside; he knew that Huaxia Country's Chinese medicine would shock the world in the near future.
"Grandfather."
After Kong Xiaoxuan called out a second time, Kong Yaonian finally came back to his senses and his gaze sharpened, "Xiaoxuan, you might not understand my persistence, but once the competition begins, you will see."
"Our blood is of Huaxia Country. Although I have also learned Western medicine and am not extremely proficient in Chinese medicine, I have never forgotten my duty to revive it."
Kong Xiaoxuan pursed her lips and, after a moment, she said, "Grandfather, I understand how you feel. I also tried to study Chinese medicine, but the progress of its effects is too slow. If I had pursued Chinese medicine, my medical skills might not have been recognized by now."
Kong Yaonian waved his hand and said, "Xiaoxuan, I know you are not one to be outdone. You too want to revitalize the medicine of Huaxia Country, but after all, Western medicine is not something passed down from our ancestors. To spread and enhance Chinese medicine is truly to revitalize the medical arts of our country."
"Sometimes, I may indeed be a bit stubborn, however, I hope to see the revival of Chinese medicine in my lifetime."
After hearing her grandfather's words,
Kong Xiaoxuan didn't speak again, repeatedly envisioning Shen Feng's appearance in her mind. That young man, who looked to be only around twenty years old, could he really possess a strong level of Chinese medical skill?
Meanwhile, as Shen Feng headed back to Villa No. Eight,
In Wuzhou,
Inside a certain automated factory,
Wang Anxiong sat in his office. This factory was dedicated to packaging Immortal Flavor Liquid.
After the first batch of pure Immortal Flavor Liquid arrived here, quite a few different grades of the product had already been produced.
At that moment,
His phone suddenly rang. After picking it up, the voice of Old Master Jiang, Jiang Hainian, came through, "An Xiong, not bad at all!"
"You now have one final chance. I can find a way to make the other families stop pursuing the matter with you, but you must hand over the recipe for that seasoning."
"I think you are a sensible person. Sometimes, if you eat too much too quickly, it's easy to choke all at once."
"As an elder, I advise you to be careful not to choke. You have to eat slowly, and you need to walk slowly. What do you think?"
Wang Anxiong tensed up; the Immortal Flavor Liquid had only just begun to be produced, and he had implemented a closed management system for the workers.
Not many people knew about this first batch of Immortal Flavor Liquid. Someone must have leaked the information to Jiang Hainian, even telling him about the effects of the Immortal Flavor Liquid.
