At the same time, he also possesses the inheritance of various bloody evil arts and human alchemy, and he has an extremely profound understanding of the human body.

After a long while, Huang Yu put down the last barefoot doctor's manual and said with emotion, "It is indeed a book co-authored by all the great medical masters. I have not found any obvious errors."

Upon hearing this, Wu Ruilan, Mr. Niu, and others smiled. Anyone would be happy to have their work recognized.

"but…"

Instantly, Wu Ruilan and the others felt a chill in their hearts. They were always afraid of unexpected turns, because what came after the turn was the key.

Wu Ruilan laughed and scolded, "Young man Huang, just say what you have to say, stop dawdling."

“We’re not some old fogies who will listen to good advice.”

Mr. Niu agreed, "That's right, Mr. Huang. If you can offer some good suggestions, then we should thank you instead."

Huang Yu pondered for a moment and said, "From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, these four barefoot doctor manuals are already perfect. We just need to iterate and improve them step by step in the future."

"However, it still lacks some essential ingredients to stabilize the situation."

"Some panaceas that cure all diseases."

Wu Ruilan and the others frowned. How could they possibly have those drugs?

Drugs advertised in this way are invariably either scams or specially formulated drugs.

However, these specially refined medicines generally work by activating the body's potential, which not only depletes the body but is also produced in very small quantities, so they do not meet Huang Yu's requirements at all.

Mr. Niu said directly, "Mr. Huang, the kind of medicine you mentioned probably doesn't exist. All medicines need to be prescribed according to the specific symptoms."

"Our target is the vast rural areas. If the drug you mentioned exists, it must meet the following requirements..."

"The output must be large, the effect must be good, the side effects must be minimal, and it must be easy to use..."

Wu Ruilan pondered that Huang Yu wasn't the type to make empty boasts; if he said that, he must have his reasons.

Could there really be such a miraculous medicine?

Wu Ruilan waved her hand, stopping Mr. Niu: "Let Huang Yu share his thoughts; perhaps there are things we don't know."

Huang Yu waved the book in his hand and said seriously, "Gentlemen, you have misunderstood me."

"I think the barefoot doctor's manual you have compiled is ready and can be published and distributed to various regions directly."

"Hmph, I can even fund this portion of the money to print it out and distribute it free of charge to various rural areas. That would be my small contribution."

"After all, I have to sign my name on it too."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Wu Ruilan smiled and said, "This is the second reason I came to see you... The money we raised together has been almost used up, and we urgently need financial support."

"We have already found support from several wealthy businessmen, and the murderous doctor and the sorcerer have also robbed several corrupt officials, but the total funds are still not enough."

“I’ve been following your news and know that you have a large and successful business, so I wanted to ask you for some donations.”

In reality, as medical practitioners, they themselves are not short of money, after all, they earn a considerable income from treating and prescribing medicine for wealthy people.

People are most afraid of death, and wealthy people are willing to spend money to treat their illnesses.

So, these medical experts should not be short of money.

But it was too expensive to keep up with the costs. The compilation of the Barefoot Doctor's Manual was simply too costly. The staff sent to various places, not to mention their wages, still had to pay for their food and travel expenses.

Some herbal remedies are family secrets passed down through generations. It's not appropriate to simply take them by force, so you have to buy them. If you can't buy them, you have to find a way to break the recipe...

Experimenting with some prescriptions, hiring people to collect herbs...

Everything costs money.

Huang Yu could understand, since compiling a barefoot doctor's manual should have been a national project, and now that it was being done by a private individual, a shortage of funds was bound to occur.

Moreover, Wu Ruilan and her group had great ambitions. They were not limited to one place or one corner, but set their sights on the whole of China, directly dividing it into major regions such as South China, Southwest China, North China, Central China, Northeast China, and Northwest China, and started to develop it in all directions.

Huang Yu laughed and said, "Money is not a problem. Just tell me how much more money you need later, and I'll have my men handle it."

"However, I have something else to tell you: are you interested in starting a new business?"

"A cause no less meritorious than the Barefoot Doctor's Manual."

Everyone was stunned, realizing that it was the same miraculous medicine that Huang Yu had mentioned earlier.

Wu Ruilan said, "Ayu, tell me in detail."

Huang Yu said, "I wonder if you have been paying attention to the development of modern medicine?"

Mr. Niu frowned: "You mean, Western medicine?"

He glanced at Wang Zizhong without realizing it and noticed that Zizhong looked somewhat downcast.

Zizhong's fiancée, Duanmu Ying, secretly went abroad to study Western medicine in Europe.

Of course, Mr. Niu did not reject Western medicine because of this; on the contrary, he has been paying attention to the development of Western medicine, just not in such depth.

Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history and profound heritage, while Western medicine has not yet found a particularly effective treatment method, except in the field of surgery where it has unique approaches.

Huang Yu said, "What you see as Western medicine is, in my view, modern medicine, that is, medicine that is constantly developing based on modern technology."

"The better modern technology develops, the more advanced modern medicine becomes."

"In my opinion, if traditional Chinese medicine can keep up with the development of science and technology, then it can also be called modern medicine."

"What I fear most is being complacent and unwilling to keep up with the times."

Wu Ruilan and the others seemed to be deep in thought.

Wu Ruilan asked, "So, the medicine you're talking about is related to the development of modern technology?"

Huang Yu nodded: "That's right. In modern medicine, many diseases are caused by pathogens, such as inflammation of wounds, fever, colds, and plagues..."

"Therefore, if we find a drug that can specifically kill germs, we can cure most diseases."

Wang Zizhong's eyes lit up: "Brother Huang, I know this microbiology theory. Western preoperative disinfection, mask prevention, and so on, all utilize this theory."

"However, it seems that the West has not yet found such a drug."

When it comes to medicine, Wang Zizhong is no longer shy, and his whole being radiates confidence.

Huang Yu said, "That's right, that makes sense, but with the development of technology, this approach will definitely work."

"In fact, there is a chemical drug called arsphenamine that can effectively kill syphilis, also known as venereal disease."

"Although arsenamide itself is toxic, it shows that chemotherapy is a viable treatment option!"

"This is the future direction of development, which contains significant benefits and is also a direction that will benefit all living beings."

Huang Yu pondered for a moment, giving everyone time to think, and then said to them, "Come with me, I'll show you something."

Huang Yu stood up and led everyone to the valley of the Jade Society.

The valley has been completely renovated by Jimmy and others, preserving all the original laboratories and adding a lot of equipment.

Some students from the Spark Academy who are dedicated to scientific research have already settled in the valley and are carrying out their own research tasks there.

Huang Yu also distributed some technological ideas to his disciples to study in advance. Of course, he didn't expect them to come up with anything, but just to try them out in advance, increase their technological reserves, and also to cultivate talent.

Now, this valley has become the research center of Xinghuo Academy.

Along the way, Wu Ruilan and the others were amazed by Huang Yu's grand gestures and kept expressing their admiration.

In the past, when they studied medicine and diseases, it was at most a few people gathered together to study. This was the first time they had seen the power of industrialized scientific research, which brought together hundreds of people to share their ideas and develop research together.

“This must have cost a fortune,” Wu Ruilan remarked.

Huang Yu nodded and said, "The cost was indeed considerable, and it was all hard-earned money from the people."

When Huang Yu revealed that the Jade Society had colluded with the Wei family, it instantly ignited a surge of anger among the crowd.

"Alright, we're here, this is the place."

Huang Yu led everyone through the basement to a cultivation room.

The culture room contained many petri dishes, some of which contained strange and colorful things, and some of them were even covered in hair.

Wu Ruilan asked in confusion, "These are... mold?"

Huang Yu brought a petri dish to everyone, which contained a cluster of blue-green mold.

"Some people have observed that there is very little growth of pathogens around this green mold."

He believes that the substances secreted by the mold inhibit the growth of pathogens.

He named the substance secreted by this mold penicillin!

Chapter 167 Another Deception, Successfully Producing Penicillin

Do you know where this blue-green mold comes from?

Huang Yu asked with a smile.

Wu Ruilan pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be extracted from rotten food?"

Huang Yu nodded: "That's right, it was extracted from rotten oranges!"

"Penicillium is everywhere in our daily lives. It can be found on rotten fruits, vegetables, bread, and even on soil and rotten wood."

Huang Yu's eyes lit up, and his tone was somewhat excited.

"It's conceivable that there are many more microorganisms similar to Penicillium in the natural environment, all of which have the function of inhibiting pathogens!"

"This is a natural treasure trove, waiting for us to discover it!"

"This is the cognitive enhancement brought about by technological development, which allows us to recognize and utilize things that we previously overlooked."

Wu Ruilan and the others found it a bit of a headache. They could roughly understand what Huang Yu meant, but they still didn't quite understand the meaning of some of the terms.

This is completely different from the experience they have accumulated over the past decades; it is a different perspective on curing diseases.

Wu Ruilan said helplessly, "Young Huang, although many of the things you said make sense, and we can see the potential, we really don't understand them."

"Even the germs, microorganisms, and Penicillium you mentioned can only be understood as extremely tiny insects; we can't go any deeper."

"If we don't even know what it is, how can we use it..."
