Chapter 24
On the way back to the Gu residence, although Ye Chen looked exhausted in the car, there was joy between his brows .
The reason being he had refined ten Qi Blood Pills and Blood Marrow Pills each, as well as five Body Strengthening Pills and a Vitality Pill from the pill refinement earlier .
The Qi Blood Pills and Blood Marrow Pills were for Mengmeng . She would have to eat two pills each time and once every ten days . It should be able to last until he broke through to the Foundation Building . By then, he could refine the Rebirth Pill .
Meanwhile, the Body Strengthening Pills were for his parents . Both of them had been overworking themselves throughout half of their lives, so they had many internal injuries in their bodies, such as cervical spondylosis and rheumatism .
Approximately half an hour later, he saw Old Master Gu with a bunch of people waiting at the entrance when the car was still far away from the Gu residence .
As soon as the car stopped, he heard Old Master Gu saying good-naturedly, “I’ve been waiting for a long time and I’ve finally waited for your arrival, Sir . ”
“You’re too kind, Master . Don’t call me ‘Sir’ . Just call me Ye Chen . ” Ye Chen got out of the car while smiling .
There were two ladies standing by the old master . One was Gu Yingying whom he had fought before, while he had never seen the other one . However, Gu Yingying was cold to him . Clearly, she was holding a grudge for him kicking her chest the last time .
The old master seemed to have noticed his doubt, so he introduced while smiling, “Mr . Ye, this is my granddaughter-in-law, Shaokun’s wife, Fang Yuan . Yuanyuan, greet Mr . Ye . ”
Fang Yuan revealed a sweet smile immediately . “It’s my pleasure to meet you, Mr . Ye . ”
Ye Chen nodded as he could not help but look at her again . He noticed there was faint, black energy between her brows . Meanwhile, there was red energy on her belly . The black energy was the grievance coming out of the lock charm while the red energy was naturally the fatal energy .
“Mr . Ye, please follow me into the house . ” The old master brought Ye Chen to the mansion’s second floor passionately . He then got people to serve them tea .
Ye Chen took a sip while raising his brows . “This is some good tea . ”
“I’m glad that you like it . This is the Da Hong Pao from the Wuyi Mountain someone gave me . I don’t drink it . You can bring some back when you leave,” the old master said generously .
Gu Yingying who was sitting aside grumbled, “Grandpa, you’re pretending to be generous . You don’t usually let go of this . You were unwilling to bring it out when Uncle Xiao visited the last time . ” She even glared coldly at Ye Chen when she was done speaking .
That kick this guy gave me the last time caused pain in my chest for a few days! She was only relieved after confirming all was good at the hospital .
The old master was not sure whether to laugh or to cry . “Don’t you know that your Uncle Xiao is an absolute tea fanatic? If he finds out that I have this good stuff, he would’ve taken everything away . ”
As this went on, Gu Shaokun would look at Ye Chen occasionally, hesitating to say something . Ye Chen smiled and took two pills out, placing them on the table .
Everyone looked at the pills with their eyes wide open . They had no idea what to do . The old master frowned, “What are these, Mr . Ye?”
“The purple pill is a Body Strengthening Pill . It’s for you . You must’ve left behind many internal injuries from the battles back then . You’ll feel better after consuming it . Meanwhile, the red pill is a Vitality Pill . It can remove the grievance in Ms . Fang’s body to secure the success of your fetus . ” Ye Chen looked at Fang Yuan by instinct as he spoke to this point .
Before meeting Ye Chen, she might have suffered a stillborn . Now everything pretty much depended on destiny . The effect of the Vitality Pill would still have been absorbed by the child, thus there would be a certain chance of the spiritual root forming when the child was born .
Gu Shaokun looked at the people and said in slight disbelief, “Mr . Ye, are you saying these two pills can cure diseases?”
To the modern generation, people would either go to Western doctors or Chinese doctors when they were ill . The drug that they took would either be some medicine or herbal concoction .
Whenever medicinal pills were mentioned, people would automatically think of some emperor during ancient time who would waste time with a bunch of Taoist priests by the pill furnace with their radical daydreams .
Gu Shaokun was not the only one who was at a blur . Everyone was experiencing the same doubt, and Gu Yingying finally found a reason to attack him as she said after a scoff, “Medicinal pill? You must have read too many novels!”
If not for Ye Chen’s terrifying ability, she would have chased him out for being a scammer .
“Haha,” Ye Chen laughed without saying anything .
Old Master Gu asked as he looked at the red Body Strengthening Pill, “Mr . Ye, can this medicinal pill really cure my internal injuries?”
“You can try it, Old Master . ”
“Grandpa, don’t listen to this guy’s nonsense . What if anything goes wrong after you consume it?” Gu Yingying stopped him immediately .
“Don’t worry, I trust Mr . Ye . ” the old master hesitated for a moment and picked the Body Strengthening Pill up . He then popped it into his mouth, it was too late when everyone managed to react .
“You won’t be forgiven if something were to happen to my grandpa . ” Gu Yingying gave Ye Chen a deadly glare .
At that moment, they stared at the old master anxiously . They were worried that he would complain about having pain in the stomach all of a sudden, or he would spit blood, fall onto the ground and die . The old master’s body shuddered suddenly .
“Grandpa!” Gu Shaokun and Gu Yingying called out to him from the concern .
Subsequently, a red glow lit up on the old master’s body . It spread to his head as if he was drunk .
The old master could not help but shriek out loud as a mouthful of filthy energy spurted out . The gray hair on the old master’s head turned black at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye .
Everyone was speechless from the shock as they watched .
As the red glow faded, the old master stood up immediately and bowed to Ye Chen, “Mr . Ye, this medicinal pill is amazing . I’m feeling so much lighter now . My back isn’t sore, and my legs no longer hurt . ”
Ye Chen nodded while smiling .
Gu Yingying widened her beautiful eyes in disbelief . “Grandpa, are you really alright?”
“Not only I’m alright, but I’m your grandpa, I feel like I’m ten years younger now . I can kill a bull with a punch!” The old master was excited .
To Gu Yingying’s relief, she could not help but glare at Ye Chen . She thought although he was quite indecent, he was pretty capable .
Gu Shaokun only managed to snap out of it by then . He picked up the remaining medicinal pills on the table and put it into Fang Yuan’s hand, “Eat it, wifey . Eat it, now . ”
With the old master taking the initiative to try the pill, their concern went away . As Fang Yuan swallowed the Vitality Pill, a gush of black energy flowed from the top of her head . Her face that was initially pale was much rosier now to everyone’s shock .
The old man was over the moon . “Mr . Ye, thank you so much for helping my family . We owe you so much . From now on, our family will extend help to you no matter what favor you may have!”
Gu Shaokun took out a pair of Lamborghini car keys to Ye Chen and said, “That’s right, Mr . Ye . Although I was disrespectful to you the last time, you disregarded that and helped us . I’m regretful . There’s nothing that I can repay you with . I’ll give you this, and the company under my wife will be yours too . ”
Ye Chen was not sure to laugh or to cry . The old master said in determination since he was going to reject the kindness, “Please don’t reject us, Mr . Ye . ”
Feeling helpless, Ye Chen took over the car keys . Gu Shaoken said while smiling, “The car ownership transfer will be done within three days . Meanwhile, Fang Yuan has 60% of the company shares . After she transfers the share to you, there will be a meeting among the shareholders to elect a new director . Don’t you worry about anything . ”
The atmosphere was much more pleasant now . Ye Chen looked at the old master all of a sudden and asked, “Old Master Gu, have you heard of this person, Yuan Bupo?”
