Chapter 116 Replenishing Spirit Pill Formula
Chen Xuan frowned and waved his hand, slightly unaccustomed to such a posture.
"Alright, you can go down first." Hei Hu noticed the subtle change in Chen Xuan's expression and his heart tightened. He quickly waved his subordinates away.
"Mr. Chen, the person hasn't arrived yet. Please go inside and rest for a while," Hei Hu said with a fawning smile.
Chen Xuan nodded and walked into the Fuyuan Clubhouse.
The Fuyuan Clubhouse was located in the development zone but had a significant presence. One had to spend millions to qualify for the largest Imperial Suite. Currently, Hei Hu had booked such a suite.
"The boss of Fuyuan Clubhouse is also a dealer under us. He is eager to let us use this Imperial Suite for free. Not only do they not charge, but we can also eat and drink for free," Hei Hu said, puffing out his chest proudly.
What excited Hei Hu even more was that this Fuyuan boss was his former arch-nemesis and now had to obediently serve him.
Chen Xuan inadvertently discovered that a seemingly ordinary pill had connected many wealthy individuals in Jiangzhou and even the entire province, weaving them into a vast network of relationships.
However, for now, this network was not stable and relied entirely on the pills. If the pills failed, everything would crumble.
But Chen Xuan didn't pay much attention to it. In his mind, he possessed countless magical ancient pill formulas, half of which were taught by his old leader, and the other half he had found in ancient texts over the years.
Just as Chen Xuan was lost in thought, Hei Hu suddenly walked in and said respectfully, "Mr. Chen, the person has arrived."
"Let them come in," Chen Xuan nodded.
Hei Hu opened the door and said imperiously, "You can come in."
At this moment, a group of people walked in from outside.
Leading them were a middle-aged man in a black centipede shirt and a man in a suit, accompanied by three charming young women.
The black-clad bodyguards walking behind them seemed to carry a gust of wind, clearly not ordinary bodyguards. They were likely martial artists.
"Neijin martial artists?"
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes and scanned these people. Apart from the man in the centipede shirt, who was a Neijin martial artist, the three young women also exuded a strange sense of pressure.
Feeling so much pressure, if his guess was correct, each of these people was more powerful than the Blood Hand Butcher he had encountered at the banquet. However, he didn't take them seriously.
"Boss Shen, this is Mr. Chen Xuan, the renowned Immortal Doctor of Jiangzhou." Hei Hu pointed at Chen Xuan and introduced him.
Hei Hu then turned to the middle-aged fat man in the suit and introduced him to Chen Xuan: "Mr. Chen, this is Boss Shen Ming, a wealthy magnate from out of town."
Shen Ming looked at Chen Xuan with surprise, exclaiming, "I never imagined that the famous Immortal Doctor of Jiangzhou would be so young."
"Truly a hero emerging from youth."
The man in the centipede shirt beside Shen Ming narrowed his eyes and examined Chen Xuan intently.
His gaze was so penetrating that it made Chen Xuan uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but frown.
Subsequently, the man in the centipede shirt showed a hint of disappointment, shook his head, and stopped paying attention to Chen Xuan.
"Speak, where are the pill formula and medicinal ingredients?" Chen Xuan, not wanting to waste time on pleasantries, asked directly.
The man in the centipede shirt suddenly spoke, "I heard that an Immortal Doctor appeared in Jiangzhou, and the pills he refined were incredibly potent, so I was interested in making his acquaintance. I didn't expect him to be a secretive fellow."
"What do you mean?! Mr. Chen's presence here is a favor to you, and you dare to doubt Mr. Chen's identity?" Hei Hu's face darkened.
"This kid seems to have some talent, but he should be a disciple of that Immortal Doctor."
The man in the centipede shirt said in an imperious tone, "Quickly invite the real Immortal Doctor here, or I will level this place."
Hei Hu was about to retort, but Chen Xuan stopped him.
He looked directly at the man in the centipede shirt and said, "Since you don't believe my identity, let me guess what pill you are trying to refine. If I guess correctly, then I should be qualified, right?"
"Oh? I haven't said anything, and you can guess it?" The man in the centipede shirt became interested, and the corners of his mouth curved up.
Everyone's eyes turned, and someone said with disdain, "What are you bragging about? Who do you think you are?"
This time, Hei Hu believed Chen Xuan wholeheartedly. He glared fiercely at the people who were whispering, thinking: How dare they not believe Mr. Chen? Let's see how Mr. Chen slaps these outsiders in the face.
Chen Xuan glanced at the man in the centipede shirt and said calmly, "Song Ling fruit, Xian Ling grass, Teng Ma root, Xu Hun leaf..."
Chen Xuan listed the names of seven medicinal ingredients. With each name he uttered, the man in the centipede shirt's expression became more grim. By the time he reached the seventh ingredient, the man's face had become extremely complex.
He stared at Chen Xuan with an expression of disbelief.
His companions were also astonished. These medicinal ingredients for refining pills were prepared in advance by the man in the centipede shirt. How did this kid know them?
"Hahaha, how about that? Did Mr. Chen guess correctly?"
Seeing their expressions, Hei Hu knew Chen Xuan was right and immediately put on a smug look.
When had they ever been so belittled? Someone said indignantly, "It's just basic medicinal knowledge. To put it simply, it's a good nose. Even a dog could do it."
"Hahaha, my dog Da Huang eats medicinal ingredients as food. He can identify them too."
Many people laughed heartily.
In their opinion, this was entirely because Chen Xuan had some medical knowledge and a sensitive nose, which allowed him to identify them.
"Shut up!"
Hei Hu was indignant and was about to argue when the man in the centipede shirt suddenly shouted sternly. The others seemed to be afraid of him and all lowered their heads in terror, quietly closing their mouths.
"Now you should believe my identity, right?" Chen Xuan looked at the man in the centipede shirt and said with a half-smile.
The man in the centipede shirt nodded and smiled, "I didn't expect someone so young to have such great ability. I apologize for my presumption."
He looked at Chen Xuan and asked solemnly, "Little brother, how did you know about the last ingredient, Jian Jia grass?"
Chen Xuan said lightly, "You are likely refining the Replenishing Spirit Pill, a pill used to improve cultivation. Unfortunately, your formula is likely incomplete, lacking this very herb. That's why the success rate is so low, and the efficacy is poor."
The man in the centipede shirt's face flushed with joy after hearing this: "I didn't expect anyone to know how to refine the Replenishing Spirit Pill!"
Chen Xuan frowned and said, "You provide five stalks of half-spirit herbs, and I can refine a batch of pills for you now."
The man in the centipede shirt licked his lips, his eyes greedily fixed on Chen Xuan as if he had discovered a treasure. He said with a smile, "It's just a mere five stalks of half-spirit herbs, consider it a meeting gift. In the future, when you become an alchemist for our organization, I can get you any medicinal ingredients you want."
"Organization? When did I say I would join your organization? If you're not refining pills, then get out," Chen Xuan's expression changed slightly, and he said coldly.
