Secret Formula: Borneol and Borax Powder

After Li Jinghao and Yu Xiushui left, Su Ziyang received a call from Er Biao.

Er Biao said that his shop's business has been doing well recently, but there are a lot of people who want to get bone-setting treatments. He asked if Su Ziyang was free, as he wanted to come to the city to learn from Su Ziyang again.

Su Ziyang naturally couldn't refuse. Er Biao said he would come this Saturday and Sunday, and Su Ziyang thought it wouldn't be a problem, so he agreed.

"Hey, Xiao Su."

Yang Tianzheng excitedly ran in as soon as he hung up Er Biao's call.

"Ah, Master."

Seeing Yang Tianzheng so happy, Su Ziyang wondered what good news Yang Tianzheng had this time.

"Ziyang, I found another place selling folk remedies around here. Let's go check it out."

Yang Tianzheng pulled Su Ziyang and walked outside.

"Master, let go, let go. I'm at work, I'm at work."

Su Ziyang shook off Yang Tianzheng's hand.

"Hmm... that makes sense." Yang Tianzheng, who was very good at judging expressions, looked slightly disappointed.

"Master, you can just buy it like last time, and then we can go to that testing place to have it checked. Why do we have to go in person?"

Su Ziyang felt that it was pointless for you to go and gather information, so he decided to just buy it back to save time and effort.

"It would be great if we could buy it. They don't sell it there, you know? This family is quite cunning; you'll have to go there and have them apply it for you personally."

Yang Tianzheng explained from the side, Su Ziyang also found it interesting. "What kind of illness does it cure? You wouldn't sell it even if you beat me to death?"

"The medicine for mouth ulcers is a powder. I've asked about it many times, but they don't sell it. When you go there, they'll just apply it to you. It costs 10 yuan per application. For ordinary mouth ulcers, one application is usually enough. For severe ones, you might need to apply it twice."

Su Ziyang frowned upon hearing this. "Oh. If the medication used for the tooth extraction last time was toxic, could this medication also be toxic? But that doesn't make sense. It comes into direct contact with the ulcer in my mouth; it's highly unlikely to have the same toxicity as the tooth extraction medication."

"I think there's something fishy about this. Do you want to come with me to take a look?"

Yang Tianzheng extended another invitation to Su Ziyang.

"Master, it's no use for us to go. Neither of us has mouth ulcers. If you go, where are you going to get it applied? Wouldn't that give us away and let them know your purpose? Then you'll be even less likely to buy it."

Su Ziyang, with his meticulous mind, immediately splashed water all over Yang Tianzheng: "You're absolutely right."

Just as Su Ziyang and Yang Tianzheng were worrying, Daoist Jin, who had been in semi-seclusion, suddenly entered the room.

"Master, you've arrived."

Su Ziyang quickly greeted him, Daoist Jin nodded, indicating that Su Ziyang didn't need to be so polite.

"What are you two studying here? It's quite a scene." Daoist Jin asked Su Ziyang and Yang Tianzheng with a smile, without revealing what he was doing.

When Yang Tianzheng heard Daoist Jin ask this question, he told Daoist Jin about what had just happened.

Have you seen them apply medicine?

Daoist Jin found it interesting and started chatting with Yang Tianzheng.

Yang Tianzheng thought about it carefully, "Tsk, now that you mention it, I've actually noticed it; his powder is pale green."

Daoist Jin stroked his beard and nodded. "Oh. It seems that this is not the same method as my prescription."

"Um..."

"Huh? Master, you also have a secret recipe for treating mouth ulcers?" The two didn't react at first, but then they were both stunned for a second, and Su Ziyang quickly asked.

"There is one, what's wrong?" Daoist Jin smiled slightly and stroked his beard.

Upon seeing Daoist Jin's expression, Yang Tianzheng quickly gave Su Ziyang a wink. Su Ziyang immediately understood and promptly handed Daoist Jin a cup of water, saying, "Master, please have some water. Hehe."

"Ziyang, I have a question for you." Daoist Jin took the water but didn't drink it; instead, he placed his hand on the table. "Why is this recipe called a secret recipe?"

"Because others don't know it, it's a secret recipe, a secret formula."

Su Ziyang answered instinctively.

"Hey!" Daoist Jin patted Su Ziyang on the shoulder happily. "You're a quick learner, that's right. If I told you, would it still be a secret recipe?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ziyang's face instantly darkened, and he pouted. "Tch, you were just waiting for me. Boring, stingy."

"Tell me, Lao Jin. What's the point of keeping it a secret? If you won't tell me, can you not tell your disciple?" Yang Tianzheng added fuel to the fire when he saw that Daoist Jin didn't want to talk.

Yang Tianzheng's words only made things worse. Daoist Jin glanced at Yang Tianzheng and said, "Hey, why do you think I didn't say anything? It's because you're here. What can't I say to my disciple? You're not my disciple, so how can I say anything with you here?"

Daoist Jin's retort made Yang Tianzheng's face even darker than Su Ziyang's, "Alright, I'm an outsider. Let's go, let's go, you've hurt my pride."

Yang Tianzheng waved his hand, head hanging low, and walked straight out. When he reached the door, Yang Tianzheng suddenly stopped. "Ziyang, you didn't even try to stop me. Are you just going to let your teacher leave so dejectedly?"

Seeing Yang Tianzheng's reaction, Su Ziyang burst into laughter. He had no time to stop Yang Tianzheng. When Yang Tianzheng saw Su Ziyang sitting in the chair, he covered his mouth and laughed until tears streamed down his face. His face darkened even more. "I've spoiled you for nothing. I'm leaving. Goodbye, there wasn't even time to wave goodbye."

After Yang Tianzheng left, Su Ziyang quickly approached Daoist Jin and whispered, "Master? What secret recipe? Master Yang is gone, please tell me."

Daoist Jin looked at Su Ziyang's mysterious expression and grinned, "Ziyang, what did I just On Teachers?"

Su Ziyang was taken aback. "Master, you just said you would tell me when Master Yang left."

"I didn't say that. Besides, I just said that if the secret recipe is leaked, it's no longer a secret recipe. Don't you understand?"

As soon as Daoist Jin speaking, a burst of laughter came from the doorway. "Hahaha, I thought Old Man Jin had suddenly become generous. After studying for so long, he's just teasing this silly boy."

Yang Tianzheng didn't leave at all. After pretending to go out, he actually pressed himself against the wall, his ears practically perked up, just to hear Daoist Jin's secret recipe.

This time it was Su Ziyang's turn to pout. "Master, didn't you leave? Why are you still here?"

"I'm leaving, I'm leaving. It's boring." Yang Tianzheng really left this time.

Daoist Jin picked up his water glass, took a small sip, and said, "This Lao Yang, he still wants to fool me. Come, come, Ziyang, I'll tell you my secret recipe right now."

Su Ziyang then realized that Daoist Jin knew Yang Tianzheng hadn't left and had deliberately told Yang Tianzheng this.

When Su Ziyang saw that Daoist Jin was about to tell him the secret recipe, he quickly leaned closer to listen.

Daoist Jin said softly, "The secret formula is Borneol and Borax Powder."
