The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 385 I understand, I understand!

Ma Wencai's invitation was actually quite sincere; the fact that he would provide enough pills for cultivation alone was enough to tempt cultivators.

The path of cultivation certainly relies on talent, but it relies even more on resources.

This is similar to the idea that even a pig can take off if it stands in the right spot. With a lot of cultivation resources invested, even a pig can become very powerful.

The Chu family has gathered so many non-Chu family cultivators by throwing money, resources, and cultivation techniques at them, isn't that all?
Lin Chen also needed to cultivate his elixirs; otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Hou Jihu to introduce him to a way to buy medicine, and this dinner party wouldn't have happened.

However, even though Lin Chen needed the pills, he had no intention of joining a sect or family.

No matter how prestigious the title or how high the status, at heart they are all bought off and used by others; the difference is simply between a low-level employee and a high-level manager.

Lin Chen smiled and raised his glass: "Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Mr. Ma. However, I am used to being free and easy, and I am also lazy. I do whatever I want, so I will not join for the time being. But don't worry, Mr. Ma, I will not join any sect."

Ma Wencai was slightly disappointed, but the result was predictable.

A 27-year-old Grandmaster with a bright future is unlikely to be willing to join a clan and work for someone else.

"Alright, Mr. Lin, then just pretend I didn't say anything. Let's talk about something else..."

Lin Chen clinked glasses with Ma Wencai and said with a smile, "Please go ahead."

Ma Wencai stared into Lin Chen's eyes: "Mr. Lin's medical skills are superb. He even knows the legendary technique of the Rejuvenating Needle. He can be called a medical genius. I would like to ask Mr. Lin to help me see a patient."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Is it just about seeing a doctor?"

Ma Wencai nodded: "Yes, it's about seeing a doctor."

Lin Chen did not refuse: "Where is the patient?"

Ma Wencai replied, "Because I am very ill in Wushan City, it is inconvenient for me to move around. I'm afraid Mr. Lin will need to make a trip to Wushan City. I wonder if Mr. Lin is able to spare the time?"

Ma Wencai took the initiative to meet with him, bringing gifts and extending an invitation, and his tone was very enthusiastic. Lin Chen couldn't refuse, so he agreed, "I still have some things to take care of. After I finish, I can go with you. But let me make this clear first: with the Ma family's influence, you can definitely find many good doctors. If other doctors can't do it, I might not be able to either."

Ma Wencai quickly replied, "I understand, I understand! We will accept whatever the outcome is, and even if there is no cure, we will definitely not let Mr. Ma make a wasted trip."

Lin Chen did not refuse. After all, isn't it only right to charge a consultation fee for treating and saving lives?
"it is good!"

The two clinked glasses again, and Lin Chen finally realized that Ma Wencai had come to see him because he admired his medical skills. Lin Chen didn't mind making another good connection; he had nothing better to do anyway.

They are, after all, one of the top seven powers in the southwest, one of the three major clans and four major families. Even in the whole country, they are well-known and respected. Making friends with them is never a bad thing.

After the matter was settled, everyone continued drinking, and both host and guests were happy.

Lin Chen didn't mention buying medicine. After all, he would be going to Wushan City to rescue people later, and if things went smoothly, buying medicine would be a trivial matter.

After the meal, Lin Chen carried the bag of gifts and went back to the hotel with Lao Hou.

"The Ma family is indeed a pharmaceutical powerhouse; even a simple gift for meeting them is quite valuable."

Hou Jihu exclaimed, "These medicines combined are worth at least ten million."

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Is it worth that much?"

Hou Jihu explained, "I'm talking about the market price. Guiyuan Pills sell for two million each, so three pills would be six million. And these Qi Gathering Pills, each one is worth around three hundred thousand. There are at least twenty of them here, which adds up to another six million. So, that's twelve million in total. Of course, their cost price is definitely not that high..."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "First they give me a gift, then they invite me to join. I accepted the gift and then refused to join the Ma family. So naturally I couldn't refuse to help people with their medical problems. Ma Wencai is very good at calculating every step of the way."

Hou Jihu laughed and said, "I think his invitation is sincere. After all, which sect or family wouldn't want someone like you?"

Lin Chen asked, "Do you know who in the Ma family is sick?"

Hou Jihu shook his head: "I don't know about that. Although I have dealt with Ma Qinghua quite a bit, we always talk about business and romance, and rarely talk about the Ma family."

Lin Chen nodded: "Then let's not worry about it, we'll just make a trip there when the time comes."

Hou Jihu laughed and said, "If you help them cure their patients, the relationship will naturally improve, and they will be more willing to help you buy medicine."

The two chatted and laughed as they walked back. Along the way, Lin Chen attracted a lot of attention, and many people even smiled and greeted him.

Hou Jihu laughed, "You're famous now, a grandmaster at twenty-seven, a top-notch medical expert who can use the Heaven-Returning Needle..."
