Chapter 74 Half-Spirit Medicine
Blame the old leader. He should have informed him of the protected person's identity information earlier, otherwise so many things wouldn't have happened.
Although Yu Feiyang's impersonation made Chen Xuan feel a bit displeased, he didn't dwell on it.
The only thing that worried Chen Xuan was Su Yunxi's father. Yu Feiyang dared to impersonate so openly, it must be because he knew Su Yunxi's father had an accident.
He hoped nothing happened to Su Yunxi's father.
Chen Xuan drove his car, slowly entering the villa. He parked the car to the side and jumped out.
He pushed open the door and entered the villa.
Aunt Tang saw Chen Xuan walk in with a smile and showed a hint of surprise.
A few days ago, Chen Xuan was dejected, his brows furrowed, and his face looked extremely unpleasant. Now he was so relaxed and cheerful.
She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Chen Xuan, did something good happen for you to be so happy? Hurry up and tell Aunt Tang."
Chen Xuan was stunned. He didn't expect even Aunt Tang to notice.
He naturally wouldn't admit it and smiled, "No, it's the same as a few days ago?"
Aunt Tang didn't press further. "Wash your hands, it's time to eat."
"Okay!"
Chen Xuan nodded, changed into slippers, and walked into the bathroom.
After dinner, Chen Xuan returned to his room, closed the door, and called the old leader.
With Su Yunxi's father having an accident, the old leader surely had some information that Su Yunxi couldn't get. After all, it was Su Yunxi's father, so he wanted to inquire about some news and Yu Feiyang's impersonation.
"Old leader, what happened to the protected person's father?" Chen Xuan blurted out.
"You're so quick to care about the protected person's father. You refused to go when I asked you before," the old leader chuckled.
Chen Xuan blushed and naturally wouldn't mention that he had met Su Yunxi long ago.
"Old leader, I know you did it for my own good, haha, hurry up and tell me," Chen Xuan said awkwardly.
"He ran into some trouble, but there's no life danger," the old leader's voice was a bit low.
Hearing the old leader's voice, Chen Xuan could feel that Su Yunxi's father might have encountered a significant issue, but since the old leader said there was no life danger, there was no life danger.
Then, Chen Xuan told the old leader about Yu Feiyang's impersonation.
The old leader said in a deep voice, "We can't expose ourselves yet, so I can't do anything. It's all up to you. Also, protect the protected person. When the protected person's father is safe and sound, all the mysteries will be revealed."
"Old leader, I understand."
"Also, remember to keep an eye on the Yu family."
A cold glint flashed in Chen Xuan's eyes.
As expected, this Yu family was not to be trifled with.
The old leader suddenly asked, "By the way, Chen Xuan, I haven't asked yet, how does the woman look? Are you satisfied... and are you interested in taking on this task long-term?"
"Old leader, since when are you so gossipy?"
Chen Xuan couldn't help but curl his lips.
"Hehe, alright, I won't talk anymore. I'm hanging up. You figure it out yourself."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xuan lay on the bed, contemplating the recent events.
If Su Yunxi was the protected person in this mission, then the Blood Hand Butcher crashing the banquet and attacking Su Yunxi would make sense. Someone hired assassins with the goal of taking Su Yunxi's life and the item in Su Yunxi's possession.
Even, in Chen Xuan's opinion, Zhou Changping's poisoning was related to this. According to his deduction, the poison "Hongchen Zui" was originally meant for Su Yunxi, but it was accidentally drunk by Zhou Changping.
This also made sense.
The only thing Chen Xuan couldn't understand was why Song Ping was poisoned with Hongchen Zui?
Was it related to his father, Chen Jianhua?
Or was he also a player in the game?
However, as long as Song Ping was completely detoxified and regained her senses, perhaps all these questions would be answered!
Chen Xuan couldn't help but recall the feng shui formation he saw from above the provincial capital!
Perhaps, everything was related to the Yu family in the provincial capital!
Today, he used the Thousand-Mile Tracking Talisman and directly clashed with the feng shui formation of the Yu family in the provincial capital. Although he used his divine sense, it caused considerable damage to his mental power.
He slept for three hours. The phone by his pillow rang several times, but he didn't hear it.
At this moment, the phone rang again. Chen Xuan looked up and saw that it was Black Tiger calling, and a hint of displeasure flickered across his face.
He muttered, "This guy always calls when I'm sleeping."
However, Chen Xuan still answered the call.
Black Tiger's delighted laughter came from the phone, "Mr. Chen, I traded five pills for six old herbs, all of them over a hundred years old."
"Oh?"
Chen Xuan also perked up and asked in surprise, "So quickly?"
"Hehe, I happened to run into a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. The old man in the family was on his last breath and asked for medicine. So I sold him one pill. To repay me, he agreed to trade the old herbs in his house. It was originally agreed that one old herb would be exchanged for one pill, but the TCM family was generous and gave me one more herb."
"Good!"
Chen Xuan praised him immensely.
Six old herbs could refine sixty pills, which translated into money. It was incredibly profitable, more so than any company selling cosmetics or health products.
"Mr. Chen, shall I send the old herbs to you now?" Black Tiger asked.
Chen Xuan said, "Send them over. By evening, the pills can be refined, and we can release a portion of the pills for the distribution conference."
Black Tiger rubbed his hands. The thought of seeing those wealthy people who looked down on him again, sitting obediently below like primary school students listening to him lecture, made him excited.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"
Black Tiger let out a shout, picked up the old herbs, and rushed out of the living room impatiently. He drove his car straight to Chen Xuan's residence.
Half an hour later, Chen Xuan walked out of the villa, took the spirit herbs from Black Tiger, and turned back into the villa.
Chen Xuan inspected the six old herbs one by one, afraid that Black Tiger didn't know quality and was deceived, after all, trading five pills for six old herbs still sounded unreliable.
Chen Xuan checked five old herbs, all genuine old herbs. Then Chen Xuan opened the box containing the sixth old herb, and his gaze suddenly sharpened!
"Nearly eight-hundred-year-old Phoenix Blood Ginseng! Its medicinal power is three times that of ordinary old herbs!"
Chen Xuan stared at the exquisite jade box, his eyes shimmering with a strange light.
Inside the jade box was a ginseng the size of a palm, with neat roots, perfectly intact. Crucially, it was blood-red all over. Legend had it that this ginseng only turned this color when it grew in the place where a phoenix had fallen.
"It's a shame it's still one step away from being a spirit medicine, otherwise its value would have increased tenfold," Chen Xuan sighed.
This time, not only was he not cheated, but he had made a huge profit!
Immediately, Chen Xuan put away all the old herbs and began to refine the pills.
Initially, he estimated he could refine sixty pills, but because of the half-spirit medicine Phoenix Blood Ginseng, he refined a full hundred pills!
After refining, Chen Xuan called Black Tiger.
Soon, Black Tiger arrived.
"Mr. Chen, the pills you refine are too fast," Black Tiger said with a smile.
Chen Xuan, too lazy to listen to Black Tiger's flattery, instructed, "These are one hundred pills. Don't release them all at once. Release them in three or four batches."
One hundred pills?
Black Tiger's heart trembled!
He couldn't help but look down at the jade box containing the pills in his arms.
He suddenly felt the weight in his hands.
Twenty million per pill, which meant twenty billion in value!
It was too terrifying, comparable to the market value of a small listed company!
Did this mean he was holding a small listed company?
His entire fortune was barely worth this much. Mr. Chen is mighty!
"Did you hear me?" Chen Xuan commanded.
Black Tiger immediately reacted and said respectfully, "I heard you! I understand, and I will definitely act according to Mr. Chen's instructions."
"Alright, I'm leaving if there's nothing else," Chen Xuan waved his hand and walked back towards the villa.
Black Tiger looked at Chen Xuan's indifferent expression and showed a hint of shame.
Mr. Chen remained so calm when faced with such great wealth, truly not someone he could compare with.
......
After a busy day, Chen Xuan slept early.
The next day, in the early morning, the sky was dim.
Chen Xuan, who was sleeping, suddenly received a call and sat up abruptly.
It wasn't even dawn, who was calling?
Chen Xuan saw that it was Su Yunxi's call, and it felt like a bucket of cold water poured over his head. He instantly woke up. Had Su Yunxi gotten into trouble?
