But that was just a teacher at the school.
Who was Xiao Yuhe?
The president of the Baihe City Martial Arts Association, one of the top figures in Baihe City.
The difference between the two was like the sky and the earth.
Looking at the copper badge in their hands, which they kept turning over and over, as if they were about to bite it, Lu Qinghe couldn't help but think back.
There was once a classmate who secretly brought his father's badge to school to show off to everyone. She had seen it once.
But that was just a level one martial artist badge.
This was the second-level badge. This was the first time she had seen it.
And there was also the reward.
A full one million in prize money!
It was the first time Lu Qinghe had learned that "scholarships" could be this outrageous!
The shock was too overwhelming. Lu Qinghe almost felt like she was going to be struck dumb by it.
She sat on the sofa for a long time.
When her emotions finally calmed down a little, she stood up.
"Mom, Dad, I'm going to my room."
She said, but no one responded.
Lu Dahai and Zheng Yufen were still discussing the two items in their hands, talking nonstop.
A strange sense of bitterness rose in Lu Qinghe's heart.
It felt like for the first time in her life, she had been ignored by her parents, and it was all because of her brother, Lu Sheng.
She felt a little blue...
"Is there no result yet?"
He Lingsu walked back and forth anxiously in the shop.
Ma Fei replied carefully, "I can occasionally get in touch, but every time, he only says a few words before hanging up on me."
"Useless! Didn't you promise me that it would be fine? I actually believed you..." He Lingsu stomped her foot, pointing a finger at Ma Fei and berating him.
Ma Fei looked aggrieved but didn't dare to argue.
After all, he had promised everything so confidently, and now it had backfired. He felt embarrassed beyond belief.
He Lingsu was in a terrible mood.
It had been an entire week. Over a week.
She still hadn't met that mysterious pharmacist.
She didn't even know what he looked like or what his name was.
Without meeting him, she wouldn't be able to get the new medicine.
And without the new medicine, the He family wouldn't be able to escape their predicament.
That's why He Lingsu was so anxious and on edge. She hadn't slept well at all over the past week, and her skin had darkened considerably.
All her time and energy had been devoted to this new medicine. Even when she got other leads about new drugs, she didn't follow them up.
She was afraid that if she left, she might miss out on this one.
Rationally speaking, there was no need to be so obsessive. She could cast a wider net and catch more fish.
But the situation this time was anything but ordinary.
During this week, He Lingsu had been constantly analyzing the medicinal properties and components of the mysterious drug.
The deeper she went, the more shocking the findings became.
This unknown supplement was far superior to anything on the market in terms of its ability to strengthen blood. It exceeded even the standards for level one and two supplements set by the Pharmacists' Association, and even surpassed some level three supplements.
Moreover, it had a wide range of additional effects—more than a dozen different ones.
There were almost no side effects, and its resistance period was shockingly long.
And given its excellent medicinal qualities, the estimated cost of this supplement...
It was barely more than that of a blood tonic!
Good heavens, a blood tonic wasn't even considered a legitimate supplement!
It wasn't even listed among the official level one supplements.
At best, a blood tonic was considered a health product, one that only poorer families would buy as a substitute for a martial arts supplement.
But the most critical point was this.
He Lingsu had scoured the Pharmacists' Association's database and found nothing related to this medicine.
No similar information, nothing at all.
What did that mean?
It meant that this was most likely a newly developed type of supplement.
A groundbreaking new drug with epoch-making significance!
That was why He Lingsu was so stubborn and unwilling to give up, why she was putting all her eggs in one basket.
This wasn't just any basket; it was clearly a gold mine that could save the He family from ruin!
But...
Now this gold mine was out of reach, and she hadn't even found the rto it.
He Lingsu sighed softly, rubbing her temples in exhaustion.
"Miss... Miss He..."
At that moment, Ma Fei called her in a small voice.
"What is it?!"
He Lingsu replied impatiently.
Ma Fei had no skills but was a master at boasting. She was already annoyed every time she saw him.
"I... I found that master!"
"What?!"
He Lingsu froze, her body leaping up in shock.
"Where? Where is the master?!"
Ma Fei had a strangely puzzled look on his face as he stared at something, then pointed his hand in that direction.
"Right there."
He Lingsu immediately turned her head, only to see the television in the store lobby playing the news.
"…Yesterday, our city saw the emergence of an incredibly talented martial arts genius. At just seventeen years old, he passed the second-level official martial artist assessment, and his combat power index reached the level three martial artist standard.
This achievement has shattered the record for peers in our city's Martial Arts Association. Even the president of the association, Xiao Yuhe, expressed high praise and encouragement for this young martial arts genius.
This martial arts prodigy is none other than Lu Sheng, a senior at Baihe Third High School.
It is understood that Lu Sheng..."
He Lingsu stared blankly at the TV screen, and just then, she heard Ma Fei's voice next to her.
"Miss He, the person we've been trying to contact all this time... it's this Lu Sheng."
"What?!"
He Lingsu's eyes widened in shock.
Lu Sheng... martial arts genius... master pharmacist...
She stared at the youthful and almost boyish face that appeared on the news, her mind buzzing as if a hundred planes were flying overhead...
