"Mr. Ye, you, you must be joking, right?" Su Tong was sowhat agitated. Naturally, he could also tell that Ye Guichen practiced martial arts, but to enhance one’s martial arts skills using dicinal herbs was simply impossible.
Back then, his own master had also tried to use dicinal herbs to enhance his skills, but he never succeeded until his death.
For this reason, Su Tong believed it was simply impossible.
On the path of martial arts, besides talent, it all depended on fate.
External conditions were of no help.
Ye Guichen rely smiled, "Mr. Su, in the hands of others, these three herbs are indeed useless. But in my hands, it’s not impossible to enhance martial arts skills."
As he spoke, Ye Guichen took out a stack of money, "How much for these three herbs?"
Su Tong quickly waved his hand, "Mr. Ye, you just helped a lot. We won’t take your money."
"Yes, big brother. Although these three herbs are hard to find, it’s not a big deal for . I just want to know, can you really use these three herbs to concoct a martial arts-enhancing potion?" Linglong, being an herbal enthusiast like Wang Yuyan from ’The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils’, was familiar with almost all herbs in the world, including their growing environnts and uses.
However, she didn’t know these three herbs could be useful for martial arts.
How could Linglong not be curious?
Su Tong also looked at Ye Guichen with great expectation, hoping he could clarify their doubts.
Ye Guichen didn’t want to linger on this topic for too long. Seeing they refused to accept the money, he didn’t insist, "If that’s so, I won’t be polite. By the way, my na is Ye Guichen. I am planning to open a dicinal food restaurant. If you don’t mind, I would like to source dicinal herbs from you in the future. Would that be possible?"
This was Ye Guichen’s main purpose for coming today.
Both Su Tong and the girl nad Linglong gave Ye Guichen a positive feeling.
Therefore, Ye Guichen planned to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with them.
Seeing that Ye Guichen didn’t want to elaborate, Su Tong knew better than to ask further.
After all, martial arts were too personal. If the world knew that herbs could enhance martial arts skills, the formula alone would be highly sought after.
Such a thing was worth more than its weight in gold.
It was only natural that people were reluctant to talk about it.
"Haha, I was being foolish and rude!" Su Tong laughed awkwardly and nodded, "Mr. Ye, we could call it a serendipitous encounter. Our stock of dicinal herbs is abundant, and we have a dedicated team for collecting herbs. Since you want to open a dicinal food restaurant, we can offer you a 20% discount and also provide dedicated delivery services. How does that sound?"
Su Tong was straightforward.
Although the profit margin would be much lower, Su Tong felt that building a good relationship with Ye Guichen was more important.
However, Su Tong did try to subtly inquire about Ye Guichen’s background, but Ye Guichen always avoided the topic, which left Su Tong a bit disappointed.
But when it ca to traditional Chinese dicine, Ye Guichen was forthcoming and articulate.
Unknowingly, they talked for most of the day, and Su Tong grew increasingly fond of Ye Guichen.
Su Tong was imnsely impressed by Ye Guichen’s insight and proficiency.
Linglong had been listening all along, and her eyes brightened the more she listened.
She believed she was a peerless dical expert, yet she found that Ye Guichen’s insights were even more unique.
The most important thing was that Ye Guichen had a lot of practical experience, unlike her, who was rich in theoretical knowledge but lacking in practice.
"Brother Chen, you must co often whenever you have ti. My greatest wish in life is to travel everywhere practicing dicine. It’s wonderful to hear about all the places you’ve been!" Linglong unknowingly changed her way of addressing him, her eyes full of admiration as she spoke.
Hearing this, the previously excited Su Tong also fell silent.
He instinctively looked at Linglong’s legs and sighed, "Alas, it’s my lack of ability."
Ye Guichen was also curious about Linglong’s legs. Their relationship had grown much closer without them realizing it, and seeing the atmosphere turn somber, he couldn’t help but ask, "May I ask what happened to Linglong’s legs...?"
"Alas, it’s congenital. We’ve tried Western dicine, but it’s useless." Su Tong’s face was full of regret, "Although I’m not Linglong’s biological grandfather, she is like my own granddaughter in my eyes. My greatest wish in life is for her to be able to stand."
"Grandpa, I am quite content now. You have nothing to regret." Linglong tried to comfort Su Tong with a smile, "They say when God closes a door, He opens a window for you. Since I have exceptional talent in dicine, it’s only fair."
"Silly girl!" Su Tong knew Linglong was trying to console him, and he pinched her cheek affectionately, then forced a smile at Ye Guichen, "Mr. Ye, I’m sorry you had to see this."
Ye Guichen shook his head, indicating that it was nothing, and asked Linglong, "Linglong, may I take a look at your legs?"
"Huh?" Linglong was stunned but blushed and nodded, "Sure."
Knowing Ye Guichen ant well, Linglong couldn’t refuse.
After speaking, Linglong lifted her skirt.
She had to admit, although Linglong’s legs had lost sensation, they were still beautiful. They didn’t look sickly at all; instead, they had a unique feminine allure.
Ye Guichen was amazed but kept a serious expression as he gently pinched Linglong’s legs.
Smooth and supple, even with good elasticity.
Apart from the lack of sensation, they were the most perfect legs Ye Guichen had ever seen.
After testing for a while, Ye Guichen signaled for Linglong to pull down her skirt and stood up, "Hm, I understand now. When there’s a chance, I’ll think of a way to cure your legs."
Su Tong and Linglong both showed a trace of disbelief at first.
Then, they both forced a smile.
"Brother Chen, if my legs could be cured, they would have been a long ti ago. You don’t need to waste your efforts on it. Just sharing your stories from the outside world with in the future will suffice."
"Of course." Ye Guichen didn’t say much more.
Although he didn’t know why Linglong’s legs were like that for now, Ye Guichen believed it wouldn’t be a problem to cure them.
Moreover, Ye Guichen could sense that Linglong had a very pure and unblemished heart.
Such a girl was rare these days.
In Ye Guichen’s view, soone who could teach such a girl was definitely not an ordinary person.
So, he also showed great respect to Su Tong.
After chatting for a while, Ye Guichen said his goodbyes and left.
After leaving, Ye Guichen took out his phone to call Chen Ziran, to let her know he wouldn’t be back that evening.
With these three herbs, Ye Guichen planned to visit the Blood Rose to concoct them for Bai Qinghe as soon as possible.
After all, having a third-rate expert like Bai Qinghe around Chen Ziran would significantly increase her safety.
As the Chen Group grew larger, Chen Ziran, as the president, was attracting a lot of attention. Bai Qinghe’s current third-rate skill level was clearly not enough.
However, after several calls, there was no answer.
"Strange, could she still be out of the office?" Ye Guichen found it odd and was about to call Bai Qinghe when his phone rang.
It was Chen Ziran calling back.
"Hello, honey, I was just about to..." The mont he answered, Chen Ziran’s panicked voice ca through the phone, "Guichen, soone wants to kill !"
"What?" Ye Guichen was shocked, "Where are you?"
"I... I’m with Sister Bai on Fengqi Road, next to the food street. Sister Bai is holding them off. She told to run, but I’m worried about her right now..."
"Beep beep beep!" Before she could finish, the call suddenly cut off.
Ye Guichen’s heart sank, and he quickly pocketed his phone, "Damn it, courting death!"
Without bothering to hail a cab, Ye Guichen’s figure flew like a shadow toward Fengqi Road.
At the sa ti, in a small alley on Fengqi Road, Chen Ziran’s phone had been slashed in half.
Chen Ziran stood in shock, staring fearfully at the man with a grim scar on his face a short distance away.
"Who... who are you?" Chen Ziran asked in a trembling voice.
The man grinned, "Yama Hall, White Wolf!"
