Li Chuan: "Director Zhang, what's the matter, just tell ."
Zhang Yuan: "It's not entirely their fault. They've lost loved ones and want an explanation; it's a natural human reaction."
Li Chuan: "Director Zhang, just say what you need to say."
Zhang Yuan: "Mr. Li, I think you should just compensate them a bit. For that father and son, a few hundred thousand, and for the others, whatever you deem fit. I've heard that your Qingyun Costics makes tens of millions in sales each day, so a few hundred thousand shouldn't an much to you, right? Letting this drag on isn't good."
Li Chuan nodded: "A sum like that is really just a drop in the ocean for . If they could understand our plight, I wouldn't mind offering so aid. But they've slandered us multiple tis, trying to morally coerce us. That's impossible now."
Zhang Yuan: "Mr. Li, can't you just pity them? After this is settled, the martial arts school could continue prescribing treatnts, benefiting the community and accumulating rit. What a good deed that would be?"
Li Chuan sneered: "Director Zhang, I once thought you were soone who could distinguish right from wrong. Do you really think my money grows on trees?"
"And should I really be the one paying this money?"
"This isn't about money; it has already crossed my bottom line."
"Human nature is weak under trial. If I give in this ti, there will be a second and a third ti."
"Moreover, if I start this, anyone who's ever received treatnt at the martial arts school could co to if problems arise. Am I supposed to be their free ATM?"
"Director Zhang, doctors don't beg patients to take dicine. From now on, the martial arts school will no longer offer free dical consultations."
"If they want to keep making a fuss, I don't mind playing with them a bit."
With words out in the open like this, Zhang Yuan had nothing more to say, his face full of bitterness.
He knew that his visit carried a hint of moral coercion. As the community director, he indeed considered the people's interests more, without looking at it from Li Chuan's perspective.
Li Chuan was absolutely right, the police had already found evidence clearing him. Why should he bear any responsibility?
"I was presumptuous, consider my previous words unsaid. Mr. Li, goodbye." Zhang Yuan stood up and left.
Li Chuan casually closed the dojo door.
At this hour, his fellow disciples had all left; the master and mistress were away too, leaving just him and his senior sister, Ma Yuanzhi.
So now it was ti for so romantic monts with his senior sister.
Walking to Ma Yuanzhi's room, he found her impatient, wrapping around him like a water snake. As Li Chuan reached out and touched her, she was already soaking wet.
Next, Li Chuan mounted her directly...
...
Two hours later.
Li Chuan ended the 'battle' and, looking at his panting senior sister, smiled: "Senior sister, rest for a bit, I'll go to the back and make so pills."
With that, Li Chuan walked to the pharmacy at the back and started his alchemy.
According to the records in Lingxi Mutual Sensitivity Technique, pills are categorized into nine grades.
Currently, Li Chuan can only refine third-grade pills.
He planned to make a pill called the Power Pill, which, when taken, could enhance a martial artist's strength, unleashing three tis their usual power in a short ti.
According to the Lingxi Mutual Sensitivity Technique, a Ninth-grade Strength Pill grants a martial artist the mighty power of nine dragons and nine elephants, so powerful it could uproot mountains!
However, this effect lasts only for three quarters of an hour, and once it wears off, the person becos utterly powerless. Hence, the Ninth-grade Strength Pill is for life-and-death struggles only.
As Yan Ruyu previously explained, alchemists are extrely scarce. Each alchemist is a highly sought-after talent, courted by families and sects. Their own supply of pills is never enough, so there's none in circulation in the market.
The Power Pill Li Chuan makes, though only third-grade, is still a hot commodity on the market, even considered priceless. It could fetch astronomical prices at an auction!
Plus, Li Chuan has a great talent for alchemy, evidenced by the popularity of the skincare products he's modified.
In Li Chuan's eyes, the side effects of the Power Pill are quite fatal and the duration too short. To him, it's neither here nor there.
Therefore, he intends to make so modifications.
He wants to increase its effectiveness, extend the ti after consumption substantially, and eliminate side effects.
During the modification process, Li Chuan ca up with so creative ideas.
For example, turning the Power Pill into a permanent product.
A pill that, once taken, would permanently boost the user's power attribute.
That would be a true Power Pill.
However, he is currently missing many key ingredients, so he can't test all these ideas yet, needing to experint with the materials at hand.
Two hours later, Li Chuan finally refined a batch, yielding seven pills.
He returned to Ma Yuanzhi's room to find his senior sister had already fallen asleep, her face wearing a satisfied smile.
It was evident that the intense encounter they'd just had was too much even for soone as seasoned as Ma Yuanzhi, who has been practicing martial arts for years. Nangong Chunshui's words weren't wrong; engaging in dual cultivation with ordinary won brought little improvent now.
Only dual cultivation with fellow practitioners would lead to breakthroughs.
Just then, his ears twitched. It was getting late, but suddenly the noise of many car engines starting up outside interrupted.
Who would co at this ti?
Li Chuan, puzzled, walked to the dojo entrance and opened the door.
He saw a Maybach parked in the middle of the road outside, high beams on, its honking startling the crowd outside.
The mbers of the Black Dragon Squad also stepped out.
Not knowing what was happening, they could only co out to stand guard.
The next second, the car door opened, and two tall young n stepped out.
Simultaneously, the rear window rolled down slowly, revealing an exceptionally handso face.
The two young n who had just stepped down from the Maybach glanced towards the dojo and then walked towards Li Chuan.
The Black Dragon Squad mbers imdiately gathered defensively in front of Li Chuan.
Seeing the Black Dragon Squad mbers' nacing stance, the two young n's faces displayed disdainful smirks, their gazes suggesting they were looking at a bunch of ants.
"Coming to see so late, is it to invite for a midnight snack?"
Li Chuan's gaze passed over the two young n to look at Wang Sheng inside the Maybach.
