Zheng En actually produced four pills this time. This result made the elders of the Wen family so excited that tears streamed down their faces. Double! The pills produced this time were actually twice the previous time! They were extremely happy. From this, it could be seen how low their requirements were now.

After the four elders took the pills, the other elders were a little worried again. This was because the success rate of that Zheng Ersha was really too low, and the number of herbs that their Wen family had accumulated over the years was also decreasing rapidly. Sigh! They were afraid that all these herbs would be used up, and their Wen family’s poison would not be cured.

And that was indeed the case. After Zheng En used up all the herbs that the Wen family had stored for many years, at least more than half of the Wen family had yet to be detoxified!

In the main hall of the Wen family.

The head of the Wen family sat on the main seat with a worried expression. The elders sitting below him also had ugly expressions.

Even though the poison in the people present had already been cured, none of them could be happy because there were still many people in the Wen family who had yet to be cured! And just to cure their poison, they had used all the herbs that the Wen family had accumulated and even bought a lot of them outside. Boohoo… This was all money!

“Patriarch, you have to think of a way! If this continues, our Wen family will spend all our money!” An elder said worriedly. In fact, he was worrying too much. After all, the Wen family had been operating on the Divine Continent for many years and had accumulated a lot of wealth. How could they spend all their money so easily? However, his heart ached for the money.

“Think of what? Hurry up and buy the herbs. We have to spend the money we need. Are we not going to care about those who are still suffering after our poison is cured?” The Sixth Elder said angrily. He realized that after these elders’ poison was cured, their attitude immediately changed 180 degrees. Hmph! Even though he also cared about money, he couldn’t ignore the other clansmen, right?

“Sixth Elder, that’s not what I meant.” The elder who spoke first hurriedly said. He did not dare to provoke this Sixth Elder who had a bad temper. Ever since the First Elder and the others went to the main family, the Sixth Elder had the most power in the family other than the family head. Therefore, he was afraid!

“Hmph! Patriarch, I think that if we were to refine an antidote, we should give it to ordinary clansmen first. After all, we still have to count on them for the Wen family’s chores!” Sixth Elder suggested.

Right now, the poison in the head of the family’s sons and grandsons had yet to be cured, so he knew that the herbs would continue to be purchased. However, once the poison in the Patriarch and the immediate family of the elders was cured, the poison in the ordinary clansmen would be unprotected. That was why he had suggested this.

The ordinary clansmen he was referring to were mainly the servants and guards of the Wen family. Even though those people also had the surname Wen, they were only distant relatives and did not have a high status in the Wen family.

“How can that do? It’s not their turn now!” As soon as the Sixth Elder said this, an elder immediately objected. The family head frowned and did not say anything.

“Why not? Aren’t the chores of the Wen family done by ordinary clansmen? Now that they’re poisoned, their efficiency is much lower. Moreover, only by detoxifying them can they serve the masters of the various houses better. Isn’t that good!” Sixth Elder explained.

“Patriarch, the Sixth Elder’s words make sense,” an elder echoed. It had been a long time since his servant had served him seriously. However, he could not blame the servant for not working hard. Sigh!

“Patriarch, I agree with Sixth Elder,” another elder said.

Then, several elders expressed their support for the Sixth Elder’s suggestion.

“In that case, let’s execute it according to Sixth Elder’s opinion!” The Patriarch said very respectfully. Ordinary family members were indeed a huge problem that could not be ignored. Many of the Wen family’s jobs could not be done without them. Even though their status in the Wen family was not high, their importance was reflected after such a matter.

“Butler, you have to hurry up and buy herbs. Don’t worry about money.” The head of the Wen family said to the butler beside him.

“Yes, Patriarch, I’ve been buying them! I bought another batch yesterday, and they should arrive tomorrow,” the majordomo said hurriedly. Even though his poison had been cured, the poison of his subordinates had not! It could be said that he, the head butler, was now almost a lone commander, so he agreed with the Sixth Elder’s suggestion. Otherwise, he would have to do many things himself now. Alas!

“That’s good. Everyone, disperse. The poison has just been cured. Go and rest!” The Patriarch urged. Then, he stood up and left the main hall.

The next day.

The herbs that the Head Butler had been waiting for did not arrive as scheduled. According to the news that his subordinates had sent back, the herbs had been robbed…

In the main hall of the Wen family.

The Patriarch glared at the butler angrily, his chest heaving up and down.

“Damn it, what did you say?” the Patriarch Wen family asked angrily.

“Patriarch, the herbs we purchased were robbed. They must have been made by the Fan family,” the head butler said quickly.

“Is there any evidence?” Patriarch roared angrily.

“The robber dropped this,” the Head butler said, handing over a sign.

The sign was black and only the size of a baby’s palm. On the front was the word ‘Fan’, and on the back was the totem of the Fan family and a small word ‘Rui’.

“Fan Rui! Damn it, it was actually that little bastard!” The Patriarch frowned, feeling a headache coming on.

Fan Rui was the youngest son that the head of the Fan family doted on the most on the God’s Mainland. He had nothing to do all day and committed all kinds of crimes. Not long ago, he had come to the Wen family’s divine territory and seemed to have had an argument with his grandson, Wen Chenghao. Uh! To be precise, his grandson had beaten Fan Rui up. It seemed that Fan Rui held a grudge and knew that the Wen family was in urgent need of medicinal herbs, so he had attacked and robbed them. Damn it!

“Patriarch, the most important thing now is to go to the Fan family and demand an explanation!” The Sixth Elder reminded him. Didn’t the Fan family also come to seek an explanation after Fan Rui was beaten up a while ago? Therefore, they naturally shouldn’t let go of this opportunity.

Even though the Fan family and the Wen family had never gotten along and there were many disputes between the two families, they would still do certain things to save face.

“Alright, Sixth Elder, I’ll have to trouble you with this matter. You must find those herbs. If you can get the Fan family to compensate us for our losses, that would be even better.” The Patriarch said, even though he knew that the Fan family would not make any compensation.
