Feng Hanhou looked at the pill and marveled, "A pill like this can be useful even to a Grandmaster of the Earth Realm."
"If I'm not mistaken, this is a Pure Yang Qi Replenishing Pill."
Chen Jiuyang smiled, "Master has a good eye. This is indeed a Pure Yang Qi Replenishing Pill."
Feng Hanhou said, "It's not my good eye, but rather that I've used similar pills before."
"Just one of these costs over a million. Only Taoist sects and those great sects have the foundation to refine such pills with this formula and alchemist."
Feng Hanhou stared at Chen Jiuyang, his eyes full of undisguised joy, "Jiuyang, if you refined this pill yourself, our master and disciple would strike it rich."
Chen Jiuyang asked with some uncertainty, "Master, since Taoist sects and other sects can refine them, there shouldn't be a shortage on the market."
Feng Hanhou replied, "These pills are available in name only, not in practice. They are not frequently seen on the market."
"The only advantage of sects and denominations is their long history and many inheritances."
"Why does the Dragon Country grant marquis titles? It's because they are too selfish and unwilling to serve the country. Do you think they would flood the market with such pills to enhance the strength of us marquises and the Six Doors constables?"
Chen Jiuyang frowned slightly and shook his head.
Feng Hanhou sighed, "Of the forty-nine marquises in Feng Province, not one is a Heaven Realm King. Setting aside natural talent, we are severely lacking in pill resources, not enough to go around."
"At the Earth Realm, the human body's consumption is extremely high. Swallowing medicinal herbs is insufficient; one needs pills like these, condensed with various medicinal powers."
"Jiuyang, what is the cost of refining this one pill yourself?"
Chen Jiuyang pondered for a moment, "The cost is about one hundred thousand per pill."
Feng Hanhou's eyes lit up, "A cost of one hundred thousand per pill, and sold on the market for a million each. Do you know how terrifying the profit margin is?"
"With sects and denominations intentionally suppressing and restraining our marquis families and the Six Doors, as long as you sell pills, you will not only make money but also gain many connections."
Chen Jiuyang felt a surge of excitement. This was even faster than gambling on stones, and it could expand his network.
However, the cautious Chen Jiuyang poured cold water on Feng Hanhou, asking carefully, "Master, selling pills is fine, but what will happen to us if those sects and denominations find out?"
Feng Hanhou's expression stiffened, and he gave a wry smile, "Unless we stay at the Six Doors headquarters for the rest of our lives, we will be hunted by those sects and denominations."
Chen Jiuyang said, "It seems this plan won't work."
Feng Hanhou sighed, "If I could break through to the Heaven Realm, I wouldn't have such concerns."
Chen Jiuyang asked, "Master, why can't you break through to the Heaven Realm?"
Feng Hanhou replied, "I have hidden injuries, coupled with weakened blood qi and incomplete Taoist arts. I have no chance of breaking through to the Heaven Realm in this life."
"However, my disciple, you don't need to worry about me. Most ennobled marquises are like this. Although they cannot reach higher vistas in this life, guarding the safety of the people in their territory as marquises is also a life well-lived."
Chen Jiuyang thought for a moment and said, "Master, if I had a way to heal your hidden injuries, wouldn't you have a chance to aim for the Heaven Realm again?"
Feng Hanhou chuckled, "Good child, I know you are filial, but I have consulted countless divine physicians, and their answer has always been that my condition is incurable and I will stop at the Earth Realm in this life."
Feng Hanhou looked at Chen Jiuyang's serious expression and, after laughing for a moment, said sternly, "Child, are you serious?"
Chen Jiuyang's greatest strength was not his cultivation, nor his alchemy skills, but his medical expertise.
Chen Jiuyang nodded, "Disciple is certainly serious. I just want to try and see if there's a chance to heal Master's hidden injuries."
Feng Hanhou thought for a moment and sighed, "Very well, let me see. Since you are my disciple, perhaps you can learn from my experience and not take the same wrong path."
He didn't take Chen Jiuyang's examination of his injuries to heart. He took off his shirt, revealing a body full of scars. After Chen Jiuyang examined him for a while, a voice reached his ears, "Master, your hidden injuries can be healed."
"I knew it couldn't be healed... What did you say?"
Feng Hanhou looked at Chen Jiuyang with a look of shock, "Disciple, you said my hidden injuries can be healed?"
Chen Jiuyang nodded, "Yes, Master. Your hidden injuries have affected your spinal cord and kidneys. Although they are somewhat severe, they can be healed."
Feng Hanhou's voice trembled, "Disciple, are you telling the truth?"
"I am," Chen Jiuyang nodded.
"Master, every time you cultivate, a portion of your blood qi cannot be gathered, and your body's blood production capacity cannot keep up, which is why your cultivation has not progressed for years, right?"
Feng Hanhou's body trembled slightly, and he blurted out in excitement, "That's right!"
Chen Jiuyang said calmly, "It's just that to heal your injuries, ordinary medicinal herbs are useless. We need precious materials combined with my acupuncture to heal these hidden injuries."
Hope welled up in Feng Hanhou's eyes, "What precious materials? Disciple, tell me, and I'll go get them to try."
"These injuries are not severe, one stalk of Dragon Blood Grass will suffice."
As Chen Jiuyang's voice fell, Feng Hanhou turned and rushed away, "Good disciple, I'll come back to find you after I get this medicinal material!"
Chen Jiuyang rubbed his nose, "He's truly a hot-tempered fellow."
After Feng Hanhou left, Lin Yuexian found Chen Jiuyang. She was wearing a light green patterned qipao, high heels, and adorned with dazzling jewelry, her proud and graceful figure accentuated to perfection, making her incredibly beautiful.
Any man would have some thoughts about her.
However, Lin Yuexian's visit to Chen Jiuyang's home today was not about vying for favor with Yao Zixuan. With a worried expression, she found Chen Jiuyang, "Mr. Chen, we have found the culprit."
Chen Jiuyang asked, "How did you discover them?"
"The other party is a family with a Grandmaster guarding them," Lin Yuexian said. "They approached us proactively, forcing us to give up the Rongtai Manor property."
"Please, Mr. Chen, help us!"
Chen Jiuyang's brow furrowed, "They even forced you to move out of Rongtai Manor? How arrogant!"
"Let's go, I'll go with you to take a look."
Lin Yuexian invited Chen Jiuyang into a Rolls-Royce belonging to the Lin family and headed for Rongtai Manor in Fengcheng.
At the entrance of Rongtai Manor, several people dressed in martial robes and cloth shoes blocked the main gate.
On the ground lay over a dozen Lin family security guards and bodyguards, clearly injured by them.
A middle-aged man wearing a large gold ring at the forefront looked at Chen Jiuyang behind Lin Yuexian and couldn't help but sneer, "Miss Lin, is this the helper you brought back?"
"Save your energy. It's better for your Lin family to obediently give up the Rongtai Manor property."
Chen Jiuyang frowned and asked, "Did you kill people and set up the Mother-Child Yin Sha Formation?"
The middle-aged man with the gold ring sneered, "So what if we did?"
Chen Jiuyang's brow tightened, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, "Then you deserve to die!"
As the words fell, Chen Jiuyang made his move!
