After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Mrs. Du from the president's family is also a shrewd person.

She didn't want to spend ten thousand taels of silver on a Taoist nun who was in charge.

If you are going to spend, make sure you get your money's worth.

So, the next day when she went there again with offerings, she pretended to be curious and confirmed the efficacy of the elixir with Taoist Master Huiyun, and then asked:

"Master, if a person is seriously ill with tuberculosis, can the elixir cure him?"

Huiyun is such a thoughtful person.

Hearing her words, we knew that this wealthy businessman's wife must have found a powerful person who was seriously ill with tuberculosis, and wanted to use the magic dew to establish a relationship with him.

As for why it’s not someone close to him?

This is easy to rule out. If it was someone close to her, Mrs. Du would have come to ask yesterday.

It was obvious that he got the news from somewhere after he returned, so he made another trip.

Anyone who can be favored by the president of Nandu Chamber of Commerce must be a powerful person.

These are the believers that Cihang Temple needs.

In this case, she must be careful not to let anything go wrong.

Huiyun then patiently explained:

"The elixir can cure all diseases and strengthen the body. But not all diseases can be cured with just one bottle. If the disease lasts for a long time and causes great damage to the body, two bottles will be needed."

She wanted to make this clear in advance.

To avoid encountering serious illness and the incomplete treatment of the disease, which would cause people to doubt the master's divine power.

But Mrs. Du was dumbfounded when she got this answer.

According to this, the young master of General Zheng's family will definitely need two bottles to be cured.

One bottle is so hard to come by, how can she find two bottles?

After thinking for a moment, she continued to ask:

"To be honest, Taoist priest, one of my relatives has contracted tuberculosis and is now in critical condition. I wonder if this situation is considered to be a serious injury to the body?"

Huiyun nodded.

"Then if I can take a bottle of elixir, can it save my life?"

"Of course it can."

Huiyun said affirmatively.

In order to better develop believers, she specifically asked the temple master how the magic dew worked.

We know that elixir is to the human body just like fertilizer water that has insecticidal and nourishing effects on flowers and trees.

When people get sick, it is like flowers and trees being constantly eaten by pests.

If the plant has been infested by insects for a long time, after killing the insects, it will naturally need more fertilizer to restore it to its original state.

After getting this answer, Mrs. Du finally felt relieved.

He took Huiyun to a secluded place, took out a silver note worth 10,000 taels, and said:

"You are deeply trusted by the master of the temple. I think it will be easy for you to find an excuse to get two bottles of nectar. Please help me save my relative's life. After the matter is completed, I will give you another 10,000 taels of silver as a thank you!"

He thought that since one bottle could save lives, the Du family could save one bottle for other uses.

The elixir is so rare, it would be nice to be able to buy a bottle to save your life.

However, she never expected that even though she had made the reward so clear, Taoist Huiyun still rejected her without hesitation.

Huiyun, who was always gentle, had a rare cold expression:

"You also said that the master trusts me, how can I let him down?"

"It's fine this time, ignorance is not a crime. If the believers do something like this that breaks the rules of Cihang Temple again, you and the entire Du family will never be able to set foot in Cihang Temple again!"

This is a very harsh statement.

Mrs. Du didn't dare to insist any further, for fear of ruining the impression at Cihang Temple.

He had to admit his mistake quickly, promise not to make the same mistake again, and then left Cihang Temple in a hurry.

Du Zongquan, who was waiting for news at home, was very disappointed.

"I didn't expect that the Taoist priest of Cihang Temple is so upright."

"Now that things have come to this, we can only think of a solution from Qin Dafu."

Fearing that he would be too slow and miss this life-saving grace, Du Zongquan did not delay for a moment and immediately went to Qin's house and knocked on the door.

He didn't do the whole process of handing in a visiting card and waiting for a reply. He just waited at the door, saying that he had something extremely urgent to deal with and hoped that Qin Dafu could find time to see him as soon as possible.

After all, he was the president, so Qin Dafu didn't dare to be too negligent. Since he had no urgent matters at hand, he met him immediately.

The two of them sat down, and Qin Dafu said:

"Brother Du, what is going on? Why is it so urgent?"

Du Zongquan repeated what Mrs. Du had said at Cihang Temple.

After Qin Dafu heard this, he immediately understood what was going on. He looked at him with a look that saw through everything and said with a smile:

"Brother Du is not telling the truth. Why haven't I heard that you have such a relative before?"

Du Zongquan was about to make a few more excuses when he heard Qin Dafu say:

"Brother Du, please stop making up lies to fool me. You know, this bottle of elixir in my family was not easy to come by. If you want me to give out the elixir, the benefits must not be monopolized by the Du family."

"But don't even mention sharing the profits with my family. How can I transfer such precious nectar to you if you don't even tell me the truth?"

Du Zongquan looked at the plump face with a kind smile in front of him and cursed the old fox in his heart.

After weighing the pros and cons, I had to compromise.

General Zheng’s son is in critical condition. If we are too late, we might end up losing everything.

The Qin family is the only one who can give him the elixir immediately.

I gritted my teeth and told him the truth.

"Brother Qin!"

To express his plea, he even changed his address to Brother Qin.

"Your family has nothing to do with the grain transport business. I'll give you 10,000 taels and I'll owe you a favor. Can you give me the fairy dew?"

"Your family is so favored by the master. If anything happens, the master will definitely not leave it alone. You don't need it so urgently."

But I was very nervous.

People like them are not short of money, what they lack is the protection of a strong network of connections.

Qin Dafu could have used this bottle of magic dew to curry favor with powerful people who were more useful to the Qin family, instead of exchanging it for ten thousand taels of silver and a favor.

Qin Dafu pondered for a long time after hearing this.

General Zheng was far away in Yangzhou, and was mainly in charge of the grain transport, which was indeed not related to his family's business. He had no need to curry favor with General Zheng.

It's not worthwhile to exchange this bottle of magic dew for ten thousand taels and Du Zongquan's favor.

But from the perspective of Cihang Temple, if General Zheng's son used this medicine, he would definitely be conquered by the master's divine power.

By then, the temple master will have another follower who is a third-rank official!

The more supporters the master has, the higher their status will naturally be as the masters' popular figures.

So, the deal was still done.

He said with a pleasant face:

"I know that this opportunity is indeed rare for Brother Du. In this case, I will lend a helping hand to Brother Du!"

Hearing this, Du Zongquan felt relieved.

For a moment, he even felt very grateful to Qin Dafu.

Although it was obviously not of much benefit to the Qin family, Qin Dafu still gave the fairy dew to him and let him earn this favor.

This means he really treats Du Zongquan as a brother!

"Brother Qin, thank you so much!"

After getting the elixir from Qin Dafu, Du Zongquan did not dare to delay. He did not even bother to sit in the carriage for comfort, but rode his horse at full speed to Yangzhou.

Fortunately, he got there quickly.

When he arrived at the general's residence a day later, General Zheng's only son had already died.
