Dingjing Dingyun Lake Villa.
After leaving the hospital, Jiang Chen and Gong Lin, along with several others, began to handle the affairs of Sky Venerate City. The preparations were all set, and it was now open for business. The work plan for Sky Venerate City was thus put on track.
Wuu wuu...
As evening approached, Jiang Chen drove Gong Lin back to the villa.
Hmm?
At the entrance to the villa, two cars were parked by the roadside, and two n and one woman stood at the door, naly Qiu Boyuan, Qiu Liang, and Hua Feng’er. They looked around as if waiting for sothing.
"Why have they all co together?" Jiang Chen muttered softly.
After stopping the car, Jiang Chen and Gong Lin got out. Gong Lin smiled and nodded at the three people waiting at the door, then went to the driver’s side to park the car, while Jiang Chen walked towards the three people.
"Mr. Jiang."
"Mr. Jiang."
Upon seeing Jiang Chen get out of the car, the three of them hurriedly ca to greet him.
"What brings you here?" Jiang Chen asked in surprise.
"Mr. Jiang, the elixir is ready!"
"Mr. Jiang, the dicine is almost done!"
Hua Feng’er and Qiu Boyuan both spoke at the sa ti, then they paused and exchanged a glance.
Jiang Chen understood: it turned out that these three hadn’t co together but had t by chance while delivering dicine.
"Let’s talk inside," Jiang Chen nodded and turned to walk towards the villa, as Qiu Boyuan and the others, carrying big and small packages of dicinal herbs, quickly followed.
Once inside the villa, Hua Feng’er couldn’t wait to place the dicinal herbs in front of Jiang Chen, "Mr. Jiang, all the herbs you need are here. That elixir..."
"Co for the elixir the day after tomorrow, and don’t forget the ten billion!" Jiang Chen responded indifferently.
"Yes!" Hua Feng’er nodded with a complex expression, glanced at Qiu Boyuan, and then left the villa.
As they watched Hua Feng’er leave, Qiu Boyuan opened the packages of dicinal herbs he brought and placed them on the coffee table, "Mr. Jiang, please take a look. Can these do? There are a few more herbs that I’m still searching for; I will bring them to you as soon as I find them."
Jiang Chen glanced at the age of the herbs and smiled slightly, "Chairman Qiu, this is enough!"
"Enough? Mr. Jiang, according to the list of herbs you gave..." Qiu Boyuan looked at Jiang Chen in confusion, as there were still a few herbs he hadn’t found on the list Jiang Chen provided.
With a slight smile, Jiang Chen opened the box of herbs brought by Hua Feng’er, glanced inside, and took out a few herbs, "With these, and added to the Purple Fla Vermilion Fruits I bought a few days ago, it’s sufficient to concoct the elixir!"
Seeing the herbs Jiang Chen took out, a wave of excitent passed through Qiu Boyuan’s heart. When he heard Jiang Chen ntion the Purple Fla Vermilion Fruit, a look of shock appeared in his eyes, "The Purple Fla Vermilion Fruit?! The one said to break through all bottlenecks, that Purple Fla Vermilion Fruit?!"
"It is that Purple Fla Vermilion Fruit, though it’s not as miraculous as you think. I feel that for those below the level of Innate Grandmaster, it can be used to break bottlenecks, but not for those above that level. Moreover, you still have injuries. Solely relying on the Purple Fla Vermilion Fruit won’t be possible to achieve a breakthrough. Other things are required to assist, otherwise, I wouldn’t go through the trouble of concocting an elixir!" Jiang Chen explained gently.
Grateful, Qiu Boyuan looked at Jiang Chen and rose to give a deep bow, "Mr. Jiang, I cannot thank you enough; please command , Qiu Boyuan, if you ever need my assistance in the future!"
"Mr. Jiang, thank you!"
Qiu Liang also stood up and perford a deep bow, his respect was not rely due to Jiang Chen’s guidance, but also because the ergence of an Innate Grandmaster in their family was montous good fortune. When Qiu Boyuan achieved his breakthrough, the stature of their family naturally soared, bolstering their influence within the Martial Alliance.
"No need for such formality! Chairman Qiu has also helped a great deal. If it weren’t for you, dealing with the aftermath of crippling Jincheng and his son would have been sowhat troubleso," Jiang Chen said with a light chuckle, waving his hand dismissively.
Qiu Boyuan and his nephew were montarily startled, their hearts pounding. Crippling the president of Jincheng and his son was rely ’sowhat troubleso’? It seed Mr. Jiang had to be an Innate Grandmaster, for no one else could make such a claim.
Although Qiu Boyuan had so doubts about whether Jiang Chen was truly an Innate Grandmaster, with the revelation that Jiang Chen possessed the Purple Fla Vermilion Fruit, and considering his confident manner, there was no longer any doubt. Qiu Boyuan’s respect for Jiang Chen deepened significantly. Suspected of being Innate was different from confirmation; while suspicion warranted respect, confirmation demanded admiration.
After so conversation, Qiu Boyuan and his nephew excused themselves and departed.
Starting that evening, a fragrant scent began to emanate from Jiang Chen’s room, and it wasn’t until the morning of the third day that a rich, mature fragrance of elixirs filled the air.
Looking at the elixirs in his hand and then at the wasted pills in the pill furnace, Jiang Chen shook his head slightly, "The elixir for treating Hua Zhiqiang turned out well, with 12 pieces obtained, but refining the Purple Fla Broken Mirror Elixir is certainly not easy. This so-called pill furnace still leaves much to be desired."
After so thought, Jiang Chen threw another batch of ingredients into the pill furnace and, gritting his teeth, he tossed the remaining Purple Fla Vermilion Fruit with its stem into the furnace as well.
Soon, a fresh fragrance wafted out...
Whoo-whoo... Squeak!
As Jiang Chen was refining pills, a Rolls-Royce pulled to a stop at the entrance of Dingyun Lake Villa, Hua Zhiqiang, Hua Feng’er, and Assistant Sun stepped out of the car.
"Greetings, Mr. Yan Hu. We’re here to collect the dicine as arranged by Mr. Jiang today!" Hua Feng’er said, her previous arrogance gone, speaking respectfully to Yan Hu at the gate.
Yan Hu nodded slightly, "The Young Master ntioned this. Go on in!"
"Thank you, Mr. Yan Hu." After expressing their thanks politely, the three of them entered the courtyard.
Click!
Just as the trio arrived at the villa’s door, it opened and Gong Lin appeared, greeting Hua Zhiqiang and the others with a smile, "Please co in. Jiang Chen has been refining pills since the day before yesterday and has barely stopped. He should be nearly done!"
"Thank you, Director Gong."
Hua Zhiqiang’s eyes held a complex gratitude. In the past, he had looked down on Gong Lin, but now, he had no choice but to curry favor. The vast discrepancy in his feelings from before to now was sothing he found difficult to accept. But despite the difficulty, accept it he must.
"It slls wonderful!" Entering the living room, a fresh scent greeted them, causing a noticeable uplift in spirits for Hua Zhiqiang and the others, compelling them to glance toward the stairwell.
With a glint in her eye, Hua Feng’er turned to Gong Lin, "Director Gong, is this...?"
"That’s the fragrance of elixirs. It should be nearly ready," Gong Lin explained with a smile, gesturing to the sofa beside her, "Please, have a seat."
Hua Zhiqiang gave the staircase one long look, filled with anticipation, seemingly oblivious to Gong Lin’s invitation.
After a gentle tug from Hua Feng’er, Hua Zhiqiang ca to his senses and offered an apologetic smile to Gong Lin before making his way to the sofa. As he sat, his gaze once again settled on the staircase.
Gong Lin smiled slightly, understanding Hua Zhiqiang’s lapse in composure. Few people could maintain total calm when their life hung in the balance, especially not soone like Hua Zhiqiang, a wealthy man who had yet to enjoy his fortunes fully.
anwhile, in Jiang Chen’s room at the Dingyun Lake Villa,
Hum, hum, hum!
A series of buzzing sounds ca from the pill furnace, causing Jiang Chen’s expression to suddenly shift.
