This isn’t really an important matter; it’s just that those medicinal herbs have their own specific uses. Jason Carter took the pen and paper handed over by a beautiful woman and wrote down a few herbs, saying, “They’re all common herbs, the pharmacy should have them.”

“Go buy them quickly.”

Edward Clark waved at the beautiful woman.

After the woman left, Edward Clark smiled and said, “You don’t know, for us business people, the thing we dread most is drinking. There are so many occasions where you can’t avoid it, and we often get drunk. Getting drunk is really bad for your health!”

Henry Newton nodded and said, “You can’t do business without drinking. Sometimes you’re goaded into it, and you just can’t refuse. At our age, if you don’t take care of your health, it won’t do.”

Robert Grant asked with concern, “Does this hangover medicine harm the body?”

Jason Carter said, “It doesn’t harm the body. On the contrary, it detoxifies you. No matter how much you drink, you’ll just pee it all out.”

Everyone laughed.

Robert Grant said, “You sure have a lot of good stuff, kid. If it really works that well, carrying some around would be a lifesaver.”

After chatting for a while, Jason Carter said, “Is there anywhere in the county that sells hundred-year-old ginseng? I want to buy some for a formula.”

Edward Clark shook his head and said, “Hundred-year-old ginseng is rare. I doubt there’s any in the county. You’d probably have to go to the provincial capital to get it.”

“That’s right, this kind of herb is rarely seen on the market. Even if you do see it, most are fakes,” Robert Grant agreed.

“You need hundred-year-old ginseng for your formula?” Henry Newton asked.

George Webb said, “Didn’t they auction off a 30-gram wild hundred-year-old ginseng recently? It went for three million, right?”

Knowing that hundred-year-old ginseng is expensive, Jason Carter hadn’t expected it to be that pricey. Thinking about his own money, Jason Carter realized he was actually quite poor. No wonder they say cultivation is a money pit.

There was no choice. The most crucial part of the Mortal Shedding Technique is finding a basic energy-nourishing process, and it requires at least a hundred-year-old ginseng as the main ingredient. Jason Carter knew that no matter how expensive it was, he had to get it.

Edward Clark smiled and said, “As long as Little Jason’s liquor gets produced and sold, money shouldn’t be a problem.”

At this moment, Henry Newton also looked at Jason Carter and said, “Little Jason, make ten jars of that liquor for me when you get back, and I’ll get you a wild ginseng that’s over three hundred years old.”

“Over three hundred years!” Jason Carter’s eyes lit up. If it’s wild ginseng over three hundred years old, he could make two batches. Maybe after two batches, he could reach the second level of Qi Refining. That would be great.

“Alright, ten jars it is!”

Steven Cooper quickly said, “But don’t let it affect the liquor we ordered.”

Jason Carter said, “The main thing is finding the herbs. As long as I have the herbs, making it isn’t hard. You guys bring a few dozen jars of Laobaigan to my place, and when it’s ready, you can come pick it up.”

Robert Grant said, “That’s no big deal, I’ll arrange it right away.”

As they spoke, the beautiful woman who went to buy the herbs had already returned with them.

Chapter 10: Lending a Hand

Jason Carter was just about to prepare the hangover medicine when Steven Cooper received a phone call and his face changed dramatically.

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing Steven Cooper’s expression, everyone grew concerned and asked.

Steven Cooper immediately grabbed Jason Carter’s hand and said, “Come with me, quick!”

Henry Newton said, “What happened? Tell us, maybe we can help.”

“My dad, my dad was sent to the hospital!”

“What?” Everyone was shocked.

“I just saw County Chief Zheng the other day, he was fine,” Robert Grant frowned.

“Little Jason, let’s go.”

Not caring what Jason Carter thought, Steven Cooper dragged him out.

Once in the car, Steven Cooper’s hands were shaking as he started the engine.

“Don’t panic, take it slow,” Jason Carter reminded him, seeing his state. It was clear that Steven Cooper was truly anxious this time.

“Little Jason, my dad, my dad can’t have anything happen to him!”

Driving, Steven Cooper kept talking to himself.

After listening to his account along the way, Jason Carter finally understood. Originally, Steven Cooper’s father was supposed to be promoted, but Steven Cooper dragged him down. Even after Steven Cooper went to prison, his father had to pull a lot of strings for him. He hadn’t thought much of it before, but just now, when he heard his father had collapsed, he suddenly felt a fear like a great tree had fallen.

Sitting beside him, Jason Carter understood Steven Cooper’s feelings. The reason he had so much influence in the county was all because of his father. Without his father, he would lose everything.

“Brother Cooper, I think, in this world, a person ultimately has to rely on themselves!”

“Little Jason, I understand now. My dad can’t have anything happen to him!”

Jason Carter was really worried he’d crash the car.

They finally arrived at the county hospital.

As soon as he got out, Steven Cooper rushed inside.

Jason Carter had no choice but to follow closely behind.

“Mom…”

Seeing some people keeping vigil, Steven Cooper shouted to a middle-aged woman.

After shouting, Steven Cooper said loudly, “Mom, what happened to Dad? How is he?”
