<h4>Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Nine Deaths and One Life Scatter!</h4>


    Shelton Johnston said to a few nurses, "Could you please leave us alone for now?"


    The nurses nodded and left the ward.


    After the departure of the nurses, Ss Jordan’s eyes turned red with anger, "East Beauty Pharmaceuticals was on the verge of bankruptcy, but we never thought it could revive itself!


    All our ns have been disrupted, damn, it’s so annoying!"


    He exhaled a turbid breath and asked again, "Shelton, how is the situation of our Prosperity Pharmaceuticals now?"


    Shelton Johnson frowned, "Not so good."


    "What does ’not so good’ mean?"


    Ss Jordan’s face turned grim. "Tell me exactly what’s going on in thepany, without hiding anything."


    "Yes, Big Brother."


    Shelton nodded and plucked up the courage to say, "Big Brother, from one o’clock in the morningst night till now, our product sales have experienced a cliff-like decline, dropping by five percentage points, and it’s still falling!


    Businesses that had ordered from us and people who had bought our products now want to return the goods!


    Moreover, people online areparing our products with East Beauty Pharmaceuticals’ new ones, iming that our products are inferior in every sense!


    If this trend continues, I’m afraid East Beauty Pharmaceuticals will recapture the market of River City!"


    After hearing Shelton Johnston’s report, Ss Jordan’s face grew darker, not uttering a word for a long time.


    Shelton carefully asked, "Big Brother, what should we do next?"


    Ss Jordan took a few deep breaths, trying to suppress his anger, "You need to do four things now.


    Firstly, hire some cyber trolls immediately to spread the news online that East Beauty Pharmaceuticals’ new product has significant side effects!


    Secondly, decrease the price of our products, hold various discount events to stabilize the sales!


    Thirdly, try to cate business owners and the general public as much as possible. It is better topensate them than allowing them to return goods!


    Lastly, try to cut off the supply of raw materials for East Beauty, preventing them from continuing the production!"


    "Okay, Big Brother!"


    Shelton Johnston nodded and added, "However, Big Brother, I’m afraid these measures can only temporarily stabilize the adverse situation for us.


    If we want to continue suppressing East Beauty Pharmaceuticals, we must find ways to develop better new products."


    "Of course, I know that. Don’t worry, I will contact the Ancient Medical Family in Kyoto and continue purchasing other secret prescriptions."


    Ss Jordan replied and then added, "You just do as I instructed."


    "Yes!"


    Shelton Johnston nodded and then left the ward.


    After Shelton left, Ss mumbled with resentment, "Julia Stewart, don’t think you can surpass me!"


    ...


    East Beauty Pharmaceuticals.


    Assistant’s office.


    Lionel Yeager was sitting in his position, closing his eyes to cultivate.


    After a while of cultivation, feeling no significant improvement, he stopped and fell into thought.


    Lately, he cultivated every night.


    However, after his cultivation reached the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, he didn’t see any sign of improvement.


    Simply relying on the Gathering Spirit Pills didn’t seem to do the trick.


    Thus, he thought of setting up a "Gathering Spirit Formation" around No. 8 Divine River Garden Vi, gathering the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi for his cultivation.


    Initially, Neal Koontz set up a Gathering Spirit Formation in the mountains to aid his cultivation.


    The key issue was that Spirit Stones were required for the Formation’s Array Eye.


    Nowadays, the spiritual energy on earth was so scarce, where could he find Spirit Stones?


    However, Lionel Yeager thought of recing Spirit Stones with jade.


    But, the spiritual energy contained in ordinary jade was too thin, and could not bepared with Spirit Stones.


    Only top-grade jade could slightly substitute Spirit Stones.


    But setting up a Gathering Spirit Formation required a lot of top-grade jade. Where could he find so many?


    Even if he wanted to buy them with money, they might not be necessarily avable.


    That was a serious problem.


    Meanwhile, a voice rang in Lionel’s ear.


    "Assistant Yeager! Assistant Yeager!"


    Lionel returned to his sense, turned his head and saw Sunny Tolkien standing in front of him.


    "Assistant Tolkien, what’s up? What’s the matter?"


    Lionel asked with confusion.


    Sunny Tolkien smiled, "Assistant Yeager, President Stewart sent me a bonus of 10,000 yuanst night, I’ll return the money to you now."


    Lionel shook his head, "Assistant Tolkien, as I mentioned, you don’t need to rush paying back the 10,000 yuan, you should keep it for now."


    "This won’t do!"


    Sunny Tolkien shook her head and said, "Assistant Yeager, I’ve never liked owing anyone favors!


    So, Assistant Yeager, give me your ount number!"


    "Well...alright."


    Lionel Yeager smiled helplessly, then gave Sunny Tolkien an ount number.


    Soon, ten thousand yuan was transferred into his ount.


    But at that moment, a call came in to his mobile phone.


    The iing call disy showed it was from Joan Holman.


    As soon as he connected the call, Lionel Yeager asked, "Elder Holman, why are you calling me so early in the morning, is something wrong?"


    In an anxious voice Joan Holman said, "Master, you need toe and see Mr. Steel immediately, he’s in bad shape!"


    "Bad shape?! What do you mean?!"


    Lionel Yeager was taken aback.


    Joan Holman said, "We don’t know what happened but Mr. Steel has been poisoned.


    The problem is that the poison is extremely potent, and Mr. ncy, Doctor Hans, and I can’t dispel it.


    Right now, we can only maintain Mr. Steel’s life, but if we don’t dispel the poison soon, Mr. Steel may not make it."


    Lionel Yeager frowns, immediately replying, "Where are you guys now, I’lle over immediately."


    "We’re at the ’Mysterious Doctor Pavilion’ founded by Mr. Steel, the headquarters!" Joan Holman replied.


    "Alright, I got it."


    Lionel Yeager responded, then hung up the phone.


    After hanging up, Lionel Yeager said to Sunny, "Assistant Sunny, I’ve got to go out for a bit. If President Stewart asks, could you please let her know?"


    "Sure!"


    Sunny nodded in agreement.


    Immediately, Lionel Yeager left thepany in a hurry, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the Mysterious Doctor Pavilion Headquarters.


    Twenty some minutester, Lionel Yeager arrived at the Mysterious Doctor Pavilion Headquarters.


    Guided by a medical hall attendant, Lionel Yeager was led to a room on the third floor.


    "Master, you’ve finally arrived!"


    "Master, please take a look at Mr. Steel quickly, what in the world is wrong with him?"


    "We only know that Mr. Steel has been poisoned, but we don’t know what kind of poison he was affected by!"


    Upon seeing Lionel Yeager’s arrival, Joan Holman, Cyril ncy, and Joseph Hans all approached him.


    Several physicians in the room and the attendant who brought Lionel up were shocked by their respectful address to him!


    What’s going on?


    This young man is actually the master of the three divine doctors?


    With shock and confusion, the medical hall attendant exited the room.


    "Doctors Holman, ncy, and Hans, is Mr. Yeager really your master?"


    A middle-aged doctor asked incredulously.


    "Of course!"


    Cyril ncy nodded affirmatively and said, "Not only us, even your mentor Mr. Steel is our master’s student!"


    "What?!"


    "How... How is that possible?!"


    The group of doctors looked confused, they couldn’t believe it.


    Joan Holman replied, "If our master can’t save Mr. Steel, then no one in River City can."


    The doctors were skeptical of Joan Holman’s words and decided to see for themselves what Lionel Yeager was capable of.


    Without saying much, Lionel Yeager went over to the bedside and nced at Vernon Steel, who was lying on the bed.


    At the moment, there were over a dozen silver needles pierced into Vernon Steel’s chest. His lips were ck, his face was dark, and his chest area was pitch ck.


    Lionel Yeager spoke solemnly, "Indeed, he has been poisoned!"


    "Master, what kind of poison has Mr. Steel been afflicted by?" Joseph Hans hastily asked.


    "I’m notpletely sure yet. First, let me check Mr. Steel’s pulse."


    Lionel Yeager replied, then took Vernon Steel’s pulse.


    A few minutester...


    Lionel Yeager withdrew his hand, saying, "Mr. Steel has been afflicted by a very rare poison, this poison is called ’Nine Deaths and One Life Scatter’!


    This poison is made from ten highly toxic herbal ingredients!


    They are raw strychnos nux-vomica, raw aconitum, raw aconitum kusnezoffii, raw aconitum carmichaelii, raw pinellia ternata, raw arisaema, raw croton, raw euphorbia peplus, raw garcinia cambogia, and raw senecio scandens!"
