I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 457

"enough."

Su Fan said calmly.

One portion is used for practice to familiarize oneself with the process, another for refining the pill, and the last portion is kept for planting and cultivation.

perfect.

"Okay. Please wait a moment."

While Emilia turned to pick out the medicinal herbs, Ron came to Su Fan's side.

"Very satisfied?"

Seeing Su Fan with a faint smile on his lips, she smiled back and asked.

"of course."

Su Fan himself never expected that what he had done casually to give Ron would bring him such a rich reward.

The Mayfair family wields almost absolute power in New Orleans, and their branch families hold even greater influence, making them among the top families in Britain.

This can be evidenced by the medicinal herbs they collected.

Things that are valuable but unavailable can only be acquired through power.

With so many longevity-promoting medicinal herbs on display, it would surely make many elderly people clinging to life green with envy.

Once people have power and wealth, they begin to pursue eternal life in order to ensure that they can continue to enjoy everything they have.

They would stop at nothing to extend their lifespan.

The ability to acquire these things from the very eyes of these hungry wolves and hold onto them for a long time is a testament to their strength.

Su Fan can certainly collect medicinal herbs now, but the time it will take is considerable; even with an optimistic estimate, it will take at least half a year.

In this world, hard work often goes unrewarded, and even Heaven does not reward diligence.

People and things where effort is rewarded are rare.

So when Su Fan discovered that the willow branch he had unintentionally left behind in Mayfair had unknowingly grown into a lush and leafy tree, he was in a great mood.

"The medicinal herbs here are quite good. Perhaps I can try to refine some low-level pills."

"Low-grade pills?"

Ron looked completely bewildered.

She knew what elixirs were; they were like the magic potions often found in Western mythology and fairy tales—a concept that was easy to understand.

Ron simply didn't understand what exactly constituted "low-level".

"Yes, it's pretty much like those pills that preserve youth and beauty."

Su Fan said indifferently.

"It can neither prolong life nor improve bodily functions, nor even perform basic detoxification and health maintenance; it can only maintain the appearance without any change..."

He was halfway through his sentence when he noticed that Ron's eyes had changed.

It was a kind of fiery heat he had never seen before.

"It's unbelievable. Cellular aging and replacement is an irreversible natural phenomenon in the human body. Currently, the technology available to humans can only achieve the maximum level of antioxidant and anti-aging effects..."

As Ron uttered medical terms one after another, Su Fan realized that what shone in his eyes was not just simple longing, but also a thirst for knowledge.

"Sorry, I got a little excited."

Once Ron calmed down, he immediately apologized.

"Are you still unable to let go of your identity as a doctor?"

"I guess so. If I hadn't suddenly awakened my abilities, I think I would have continued working in the medical field."

"However, the experience of becoming the head of the family is also very valuable. If I were to return to the hospital now, I would definitely be able to handle any emergencies with ease."

"Isn't that a bit too optimistic?"

"Maybe a little, but at least I've learned how to deal with a boss who's always finding fault and likes to abuse his privileges."

Ron looked at Su Fan as he finished speaking.

"So, after you successfully refine it, can I take a small sample as a test to study its components?"

Do not forget the original intention.

Su Fan smiled helplessly, then suddenly remembered that he hadn't been back to the antique shop to take inventory of his collection for a while.

But given the current situation, we can't go back anytime soon. "Sorry to keep you waiting."

Emilia, wearing high heels, came to Su Fan again.

"The medicinal materials have been sorted and packaged, and will be delivered by dedicated personnel within three hours to your residence."

"Ah."

Su Fan nodded slightly.

"I won't take your medicinal herbs for nothing. I'll have Joshua come and collect the pills in a while as payment."

Emilia was taken aback, then hurriedly thanked him, her impression of the young man in front of her undergoing a subtle change once again.

The other party did not accept the tribute, but instead gave back to the family. Whatever the reason, it was good news.

The separation and integration of the parent company is an inevitable trend. This process may take some time, but eventually both sides will become the same group.

Since Su Fan didn't specify that it should be left to his own family, it means there's room for maneuver.

Emilia was confident that she could snatch a larger share of the pills from the mouths of those difficult old women in her own family.

"Thank you very much."

Emilia bowed at a ninety-degree angle, unaware of Su Fan's rather strange gaze.

"You don't have to be so formal in the future."

It makes me hallucinate about certain islanders who like to bow, and even the English I hear almost automatically switches to "Arigato Goza Imas" in my head.

"Everything is as you wish."

Emilia didn't understand why, but she knew she had to do as Su Fan said.

Just then, the telephone rang in the quiet space.

Emilia initially wanted to hang up immediately, but after seeing the caller ID, she frowned and hesitated.

Looking up at Su Fan, he saw the latter nod slightly before pressing the call button.

She didn't speak, but listened quietly to the voice on the other end, a hint of disbelief and helplessness flashing in her eyes.

"Just refuse."

Emilia hung up the phone after she finished speaking.

On the other side, Ron kept observing Su Fan's reaction.

She knew that the latter had keen senses, and what was said on the other end of the phone could not be hidden from his ears.

The latter's lips slowly curled up, his eyes narrowed slightly, and it was clear at a glance that he wasn't up to any good.

For a moment, Ron also felt a little curious.

As the head of the family, she didn't need to beat around the bush; she could simply ask directly.

Who made the call?

"The family members responsible for liaising with the British royal family have sent word that a member of the royal family hopes to contact Su Fan through this place..."

Emilia paused here, then continued.

"Hopefully he can take up a guard position at Buckingham Palace; the royal family will offer him a generous reward."

Ron immediately understood that this was a polished version.

The royal family's original words were definitely not that polite.

The problem is that before this matter reached Emilia, it had gone through countless layers of embellishment.

Therefore, the attitude of the royal family is quite intriguing.

No wonder Emilia refused at the last minute.

Why not agree?

Su Fan spoke.

The narrow smile at the corners of his mouth grew even wider.

"I'm quite curious to see how the British royal family will react."

Oh, in that case, that little prince who's really asking for trouble is going to get a spanking.
