Chapter 974 The Medicinal Ingredients Are Ready!
"Master Bai, I'm begging you, please let bygones be bygones."
Yin Tianlu's eyes were filled with pleading.
As the leader of the Jiangnan Province Martial Alliance, this was the first time he had ever begged someone so humbly.
"I'm sorry, you shouldn't be begging me, but Mr. Chen Xuan. Besides, you didn't offend me."
With that, Master Bai hurried into the villa with Su Yunxi.
He left Yin Tianlu on the verge of tears.
Yin Tianlu stomped his foot in frustration. What bad luck was this!
"Let's see if the other families will budge!"
Helplessly, Yin Tianlu turned to leave.
Although he knew the outcome would likely be similar, he had to at least try. Should he just let the martial arts experts from Chuan Province run rampant?
Not long after Yin Tianlu left, a figure flashed and appeared at the villa's entrance.
He watched Yin Tianlu's car drive away, shook his head, and muttered, "You were so arrogant when you captured me, why aren't you arrogant now?"
This person was, of course, Chen Xuan!
In fact, he had arrived when Provincial Governor Wang Zhonghua appeared. However, seeing that the situation was not urgent, he did not show himself and had been observing from the shadows.
Chen Xuan took a breath and walked towards the villa.
As he reached the entrance, a voice suddenly rang out:
"Hahaha, Mr. Chen, I didn't expect you to really come back!"
Upon closer inspection, Master Bai walked out of the villa with a smile.
"How did you know I was back?"
Chen Xuan frowned and looked at Master Bai.
With his skills, let alone Master Bai, even Master Bai Wushen of the Bai family might not have been able to detect him.
Master Bai smiled and said, "Miss Su told me. She said you didn't want to see those people and must be hiding somewhere."
"The one who knows me best is indeed Su Yunxi."
Chen Xuan smiled.
"Yes," Master Bai nodded as well.
"Master Bai, thank you for what happened just now." Chen Xuan had seen Master Bai stand up for the Su family of the provincial capital.
"This is what we should do," Master Bai said nonchalantly.
Chen Xuan was even willing to refine such miraculous pills for the Bai family, so this small matter was nothing.
Suddenly, Master Bai's expression turned serious, with a hint of excitement: "By the way, Mr. Chen, I have something important to tell you!"
"Could it be that the Fire Spirit Fruit has been located?"
"Mr. Chen, you are correct!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. He extended his hand and said, "Let's go in and discuss it in detail."
Thus, Chen Xuan and Master Bai walked into the villa together.
"Yunxi!"
Upon entering the villa, Chen Xuan saw a graceful figure sitting on the sofa and felt a pang of excitement.
Su Yunxi was slightly startled and suddenly turned her head. Her gaze met Chen Xuan's, and her eyes instantly lit up with emotion.
She abruptly stood up and rushed towards Chen Xuan.
Soft jade entered his embrace!
A fragrant scent filled the air!
Her soft and yielding body made Chen Xuan's heart tremble.
Master Bai, who had just witnessed this display of affection, averted his gaze slightly.
"I was so worried!" Su Yunxi whispered with tears welling up in her eyes.
"Don't worry, everything is fine now," Chen Xuan patted Su Yunxi's back.
A moment later, Chen Xuan released Su Yunxi and explained how he was able to get out.
"God of War? Is that the God of War Uncle Wei mentioned?"
Su Yunxi recalled that at Uncle Wei Chang Geng's celebration banquet, Wei Chang Geng had mentioned that Chen Xuan had by chance exchanged a captured member of the Sakura Organization for a meritorious figure, who was apparently known as the God of War.
"Exactly!"
"That's wonderful!"
"Furthermore, the matter of the mutant laboratory should also be clarified. It is likely that Wang Zhonghua and others have also investigated this matter and found it to be related to Su Boqi. It's a pity, however, that they couldn't find any information about Su Ning." Chen Xuan sighed slightly.
All clues pointed to Su Boqi. Su Boqi himself likely didn't know that he was merely a puppet of Su Ning. If anything went wrong, Su Boqi would only be the one to take the fall for Su Ning.
"As long as you are safe, that's all that matters."
Having gone through hardship, Su Yunxi only cared about Chen Xuan's safety.
A moment later, Su Yunxi went upstairs.
Chen Xuan looked at Master Bai and got down to business: "Master Bai, where did you find the medicinal ingredients?"
Master Bai said, "Speaking of which, we have to thank the Martial Arts Forum. The people we sent abroad were originally going to bid for the Fire Spirit Fruit at an auction, but the price was astonishing, and there were also people manipulating the process. Our Bai family couldn't secure the Fire Spirit Fruit."
"We thought all hope was lost, but Xiao Fei suddenly informed me that someone from the Martial Arts Forum had contacted him, saying they were willing to sell two Fire Spirit Fruits for thirty million!"
"So, Xiao Fei immediately took the money and completed the transaction with the other party."
As he spoke, Master Bai produced a jade box.
When the jade box was opened, two crimson fruits appeared. Each fruit was no bigger than half a palm, blood-red in color, emitting a fragrant aroma that made one's mouth water.
These were Fire Spirit Fruits, which grew near volcanic craters. One should never reach out to touch them, or their hands would be burned.
"Excellent!"
Chen Xuan exclaimed excitedly, slapping his thigh. He never expected the Bai family to find two Fire Spirit Fruits in such a short amount of time.
Afterward, Chen Xuan sighed, appearing not entirely pleased.
"Mr. Chen, what's wrong? Are you not satisfied?"
Master Bai looked at Chen Xuan and asked curiously.
"Not at all. I was just thinking, if only we could find another Jade Ginseng. Then, we could prepare another batch of pills. Refining them together would double the efficiency." Chen Xuan said calmly.
"Yes! What a pity!"
Master Bai also sighed with regret.
One batch of medicine was one furnace, and two batches were also one furnace. If refined together, it would save time.
"Never mind. It's definitely very difficult to find another Jade Ginseng. I'll start refining it first."
Chen Xuan shook his head, no longer dwelling on such ethereal matters.
"Master Bai, it will take me seven days to refine the pills. For the time being, please help manage the situation with the Su family in the provincial capital. If there's anything you can't handle, ask Yang Chaotian and Xue Chuan for help."
Chen Xuan looked at Master Bai and instructed.
He remembered what the God of War Wang Qiankun had said. Wang Qiankun had mentioned that the Su family from the capital valued their reputation. Now that he had displayed his astonishing strength, people from the Su family in the capital would likely come.
Master Bai patted his chest and guaranteed, "Mr. Chen, please rest assured. Leave this matter to me. You won't need their help."
Actually, Master Bai had a selfish motive. He wanted to guard Chen Xuan while he refined the pills. If Chen Xuan were pleased and rewarded him with an extra pill, he would become rich!
"That's good!"
Chen Xuan nodded and turned to go upstairs.
"Mr. Chen, good news!"
Just then, an excited shout rang out.
The door was pushed open, and Bai Shao rushed in from outside, beaming with joy.
His excited expression made it seem as if he had won the lottery!
No!
This was even more exciting than winning the lottery, because this item's value far exceeded five million!
Chen Xuan turned his head, and upon seeing Bai Shao's expression, he was slightly taken aback and quickly asked, "Young Master Bai, could it be that you found the Jade Ginseng?"
Bai Shao's eyes widened as he looked at Chen Xuan, surprised, "Mr. Chen, how did you know? I just obtained another Jade Ginseng through the Martial Arts Forum!"
"Of course, I could guess."
Chen Xuan was also overjoyed. It was truly a case of what you wish for, you get. "Your Jade Ginseng is simply too timely! With this Jade Ginseng, I can refine two batches of pills at once, which means I can refine at least a dozen pills!"
As soon as he said this, Master Bai and Bai Shao's breathing hitched!
A dozen pills! Conservatively speaking, wouldn't that mean ten Grandmasters of Inner Strength could emerge?
Heavens!
