Naturally, the porcelain bottle contained the Water of Life.
However, it was a version of the 500ml Water of Life that Weiwei had traded to him, further diluted by Yue Ling.
This 100ml bottle, with about two-thirds of it consumed, would be enough to cure Shen Yingying's illness and extend her life to 150 years.
The initial version of the Water of Life he obtained would only require about 5ml to achieve the same effect.
As for the remaining one-third in the bottle, Su Yi considered it a reward for the Shen family's dedicated help.
If Su Yi claimed it was an ancestral medicine that could treat leukemia,
Shen Mingwen would have allowed him to use it without a second thought.
After all, he had personally witnessed Su Yi's capabilities; in half an hour, he could restore a terminally ill leukemia patient to the early to mid-stages.
This was enough to prove that he indeed had a knack for dealing with this kind of illness.
But Su Yi's claim that it could cure all diseases and prolong life... seemed a bit too much like a charlatan, making him hesitant and unsure whether to let Su Yi administer the medicine.
His sister, Shen Mingyue, upon hearing this, bluntly stated:
"Hospitals even have different departments, what kind of medicine can cure all diseases and even prolong life?"
This charming and attractive woman frowned deeply, her eyes filled with distrust.
It was as if the words "You con artist" were written all over her forehead.
"That's why I said, you have to believe me for it to work; if you don't believe me, it definitely won't cure it."
Su Yi shrugged, unconcerned by their skepticism.
He had more than one way to save the little girl, besides using the Water of Life.
Having Yue Ling cast a more advanced healing spell would be the simplest, and even if outsiders were watching, they wouldn't be able to figure it out, only inexplicably seeing the little girl's illness disappear.
But if he did that, how would he sell his Water of Life?
How would he quickly make money and accumulate initial capital?
"We have professional medical laboratories under our name; if you don't mind, I'd like to have it tested before use; it'll be quick," Shen Mingwen proposed a compromise.
"There's no need for so much trouble, I know what you're afraid of."
Su Yi shrugged, directly pulled out the cork, picked up the porcelain bottle, and took a swig.
He directly downed a third of it, leaving just enough to cure the little girl's illness.
In fact, after Yue Ling mentioned the effects of the Water of Life, he had already drunk some himself.
After drinking it, his skin did improve a lot, and some minor ailments he had before, such as slight nearsightedness and rhinitis, were also gone.
Other than that, he didn't feel anything else.
Yue Ling explained that he was in his twenties, the most energetic and peak age of his life, and he was free from illness and disaster.
It was normal not to feel anything special from drinking a small amount of the Water of Life.
The most noticeable effects of this dosage of the Water of Life would be on the elderly and the sick.
"Here, don't worry about whether it works or not, but it's definitely non-toxic," Su Yi placed the porcelain bottle on the table and wiped his mouth:
"This is all the special medicine I can provide for now; if you believe it, use it; if you don't, I can drink it all in front of you, it's no big deal."
"Mr. Su, have you thought it over? Even if you can't eradicate Yingying's illness, the things I gave you before won't be taken back, nor will I pursue any other responsibilities," Shen Mingwen confirmed again.
In other words, he was reminding Su Yi that if he wasn't confident, he could say so directly, without having to put on a brave face for fear of the Shen family's revenge.
"Since I said I can cure it, then I can cure it; if it's not cured, I'm here, do with me as you please," Su Yi said confidently.
He had personally tried this thing himself and didn't feel anything particularly magical.
But the fact that he had been unusually energetic these past two days was enough to explain a lot.
"Good! Then I'll trust you one more time. If it works, the five hundred million I promised you before will remain unchanged, and I'll add another two hundred million as a reward for buying your miraculous medicine!"
Shen Mingwen was also a decisive person; after saying that, he picked up the porcelain bottle and walked into the room.
Shen Mingyue, behind him, moved her lips slightly but ultimately didn't say anything.
She also knew about Shen Yingying's condition. Although she didn't trust Su Yi, who looked a bit like a con artist, the fact that a large number of cancer cells had disappeared from Shen Yingying's body some days ago couldn't be faked.
Therefore, even though she was still skeptical, a glimmer of hope couldn't help but arise in her heart.
What if?
As for the Shen family's patriarch, he hadn't said a word from beginning to end.
After Shen Mingwen took the medicine inside, he seemingly unintentionally said to Su Yi:
"Young man, can this kind of medicine really cure all diseases and prolong life?"
"Whether it's true or false, you'll know in a moment," Su Yi replied politely.
Seeing his confident demeanor, a glimmer of shrewdness appeared in the old man's cloudy eyes, and he said in a deep voice:
"Can you make similar medicines?"
"I can, but the production is definitely very low. It's not profitable to do this; I might as well run my business properly," Su Yi pretended to be troubled.
"How can it not be profitable!" The old man immediately perked up:
"Like this, if your medicine really works, I'll have Mingwen invest another ten billion to open a medical company. You don't have to give us Shen family shares; just guarantee that all four of us in the family have a supply of medicine when we need it. What do you think?"
"As for the extra medicine, it doesn't matter if the production is low; we can sell it for a higher price. As long as your medicine works well, I have quite a few connections. If those old geezers know there's something good like this, you'll get a lot of benefits, young man."
The old man looked at least seventy years old, but his spirit was actually very good, and it was obvious that he usually took good care of himself.
However, this kind of big shot obviously hadn't lived enough. When he heard Su Yi say that this thing could prolong life, the old man wanted to try it.
But first, he didn't know if Su Yi was telling the truth.
Second, his granddaughter needed the medicine more right now. If there was extra medicine, he certainly hoped that he could live longer too, but if there was only one portion, he naturally wouldn't snatch his granddaughter's life-saving medicine.
Now that he heard Su Yi say that this thing could still be made, he naturally perked up.
What difficulty or not, isn't it just a matter of money?
In his opinion, if Su Yi's medicine really had this kind of effect, not to mention money, even if he wanted a certain degree of power, it definitely wouldn't be a problem.
"Then thank you for your support, Old Master. Let's see," Su Yi smiled and pointed to the door.
Shen Mingwen wasn't an indecisive person; since he had already taken the medicine inside, he probably wouldn't delay for too long.
But this time, it was a bit beyond Su Yi's expectations; they waited downstairs for a full half hour before Shen Mingwen walked down from upstairs.
He was also holding an adorable little girl who looked like a porcelain doll.
It was Shen Yingying.
The first time he saw this girl, Su Yi only thought that she looked very unwell.
After Yue Ling used a healing spell on her that night, the little girl's complexion visibly became much rosier and she had some vitality.
But even then, her condition still didn't seem as good as that of a normal child of her age.
Until now.
Shen Yingying was held in Shen Mingwen's arms, her face rosy and her eyes bright.
Anyone who saw her would praise her as a beautiful porcelain doll, truly delightful.
It was impossible to imagine that just a few days ago, this was still a cancer patient who had been almost sentenced to death by the hospital.
If complexion was too vague and not so intuitive,
Then her head of black hair, combed into braids, was too recognizable.
Due to long-term chemotherapy, Shen Yingying had no hair on her head before.
And now, this black, smooth hair, which was almost longer than her, was obviously not a wig at first glance.
