Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 861: Chapter 866: Alchemy (Part 2)

In less than half an hour, the black car stopped at the entrance of a traditional Chinese medicine shop.

After Lin Xi paid the fare and stepped out of the car, a robust elderly voice came from the medicine shop, "Lin my young friend, haven’t seen you for many days!"

"Quick, come in and sit, I’ll get you a cup of tea!"

Seeing Elder Xiang’s enthusiastic manner, Lin Xi quickly waved his hand, "Elder Xiang, you don’t have to be so courteous!"

"I’ll pour the tea myself, you just carry on with what you’re doing!"

But Elder Xiang didn’t agree, he eagerly poured a cup of warm tea for Lin Xi, letting him sit on the stool.

If it weren’t for Lin Xi, he and his granddaughter Xiang Juan wouldn’t have received the property compensation, and even some valuables in the shop would have been smashed.

Now, the developer is very generous in compensating him.

Not only did he get a residence in a high-end community, but also a Chinese medicine shop close to the bustling area.

This medicine shop is much larger than his previous one.

The land price here is on a completely different level compared to before.

As the two sat in the shop drinking tea, Lin Xi asked, "Elder Xiang, business is doing well, isn’t it?"

"Very well, much better than before. Although it’s noon now and not many people are here, it gets busier in the morning and afternoon!" Elder Xiang replied with a glowing face, "If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have gotten this shop!"

Lin Xi smiled and shook his head, "Elder Xiang, don’t say that, you absolutely deserve it."

At the same time, he asked, "Is there any trouble or anyone causing issues?"

After all, there are always some little troublemakers in society who like to collect protection fees.

Hearing Lin Xi mention this, Elder Xiang showed a strange expression, "Initially, some little troublemakers did come to collect money, but I didn’t give them any money!"

"When they were about to make a move, someone came over and taught them a harsh lesson in an instant."

"And those little troublemakers were terrified of that person, not daring to retaliate at all!"

"They pleaded with that person, saying please don’t tell Brother Leopard and stuff. Ever since then, no one has come to cause trouble or collect protection fees!"

Lin Xi thought for a moment and figured it out. The Brother Leopard those troublemakers mentioned must be Shi Bao, one of Su Xiong’s men.

After all, this area belongs to their domain, and after the property compensation incident, Su Xiong must have ordered his people to keep an eye on this place.

At this point, Elder Xiang asked Lin Xi, "Have you come to buy herbs today, or is it something else?"

Or is he looking for his granddaughter?

But Xiang Juan is at school today, and it’s still early for school to end.

So it should be for buying herbs!

Lin Xi directly took out a list, which he wrote during class.

Elder Xiang solemnly received the list.

Looking at it, he was surprised that it was all common herbal ingredients, wondering what use these might have?

Of course, he didn’t ask but rather replied, "These are available in the shop, I’ll go find them for you now!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Elder Xiang!" Lin Xi replied.

In about ten minutes, five large packs of herbs wrapped in old newspapers appeared on Elder Xiang’s counter.

Lin Xi came over, "Elder Xiang, how much are these?"

But Elder Xiang shook his head looking upset, "These aren’t worth much, no need to pay!"

"Last time you helped me with such a big favor, I haven’t had a chance to thank you properly yet!"

"How about you stay and have a meal at my place before you go back?"

"In the evening, Xiaojuan will be back, and it’s been a while since you both met."

Lin Xi didn’t mention the payment, as these herbs were indeed quite commonplace and not worth much.

Regarding Elder Xiang’s invitation to stay for dinner, he declined because he still had classes in the afternoon.

Though he hadn’t seen the innocent and lovely Xiang Juan for quite some days, he did miss her.

However, he truly didn’t have time today.

After chatting with Elder Xiang for a while longer, he prepared to return to school, just as several people came in to buy medicine.

Lin Xi said goodbye to Elder Xiang, who didn’t refuse.

Carrying the herb packs, avoiding the street cameras, he placed the herb packs into the Jade Pendant Space at an unnoticed angle.

Then, he called a car using his phone and headed back to school.

When he got to school, it was just a few minutes before the afternoon class started.

There were two classes in the afternoon, one of which was taught by the ill professor, though now his complexion looked much better, indicating that the traditional Chinese medicine Lin Xi had given him was very effective.

When the professor saw Lin Xi, he was as if seeing a benefactor.

During the ten-minute break between classes, he chatted with Lin Xi extensively, and he wanted to invite Lin Xi to his home to taste his wife’s cooking.

Lin Xi could only agree at that moment, promising to visit when he had time.

The entire afternoon, Gu Xiaoxian’s expression seemed a bit unusual, and whenever she noticed Lin Xi looking her way, she would immediately blush and look away.

Around five o’clock, after the old professor’s class, Lin Xi signaled to Ding Yueqiu in the corner to meet him in the evening.

This time, he didn’t greet Gu Xiaoxian because in her current state approaching her might frighten her.

As for Peng Bo and the other three, they sensibly didn’t invite the boss to dinner.

At this point, they all knew the boss had a family outside.

About this, they were consistently puzzled as to why the boss had so many women, yet there wasn’t any conflict, and things seemed to be harmonious.

This truly baffled the three.

Especially Peng Bo, who was rather unfortunate.

He asked his girlfriend Jiang Yi about this at noon.

When Jiang Yi heard this, she almost got mad at him, asking if he had such thoughts too, and claiming that men are essentially trash.

Peng Bo was very depressed. He was just curious and hadn’t put any thoughts into action!

Really, you can’t compare people to people, the boss is just different!

After returning to his place, Lin Xi saw Teacher Mei and Mengmeng preparing to open delivery packages because there were dozens of packages placed on the coffee table in the hall, large and small, looking quite spectacular.

Only at this point did he realize that the money he previously gave to Mengmeng had been spent here.

Seeing Lin Xi return, Teacher Mei said goodbye to Mengmeng and went home.

While Mengmeng excitedly told Lin Xi a lot about how she bought lots of food and some little dresses.

Oh, she likes them, that’s all that matters.

He, does not lack money.

Yes, he is now a true billionaire, the kind of man who never blinks when spending money.

Afterward, he went to the kitchen, prepared all the food, and as soon as everything was arranged, Bai Bing arrived from outside.

She was always so punctual.

"Really not a foodie?" Lin Xi doubted a bit.

After the three had dinner, Lin Xi greeted the two girls and said he had something to do in the kitchen, unless there was something important, they should not disturb him.

Regarding this point, Lin Xi actually didn’t need to say it, as the two girls wouldn’t disturb him either.

But it was always better to mention it beforehand.

Returning to the kitchen once more, with a thought, the five packs of herbs obtained from Elder Xiang appeared on the counter along with a pile of Spiritual Objects from the Secret Realm.

Actually, although eating these Spiritual Objects directly wastes their potency, they undoubtedly have effects such as enhancing physical fitness and prolonging life.

However, if he refines them, the effects would at least increase tenfold.

And it would not only preserve the potency of the Spiritual Objects but also enhance their medicinal power.

The next moment, he began to prepare the refining process.

First, he divided the Spiritual Objects into three categories, and the herbs into three portions.

After dividing everything, Lin Xi placed one category of Spiritual Objects directly into a large pot, lit a fire, and began refining.

Of course, his hand was close to the flame.

If anyone could see True Qi, they would see threads of True Qi from his palms merging into the flames, instantly turning them deep blue.

The Spiritual Objects in the pot began to gradually melt.
