Alert! Miracle doctor released from prison

"Chen Huo, you knew perfectly well that this elixir was worthless to me, yet you didn't say so beforehand, and instead tricked me out of my divine medicine. Don't you think that's going too far?"

Zhang Xinglin suppressed his anger and said.

Now that the Azure Marrow Cleansing Fruit is in Chen Huo's hands, he has no choice but to do this.

Chen Huo scoffed at this, "Don't give me that nonsense. When you used me to threaten Liu Mei and my master's safety to blackmail me, didn't you know you were taking advantage of me?"

"Those are two different things!"

"Two different things, right? Fine, whether the pill is valuable to you is another matter entirely. So why are you calling me? You're not quite there yet if you think you can outsmart me."

Chen Huo said coldly on the other end of the phone.

Zhang Xinglin's anger was almost uncontrollable. He gritted his teeth and said, "Chen Huo, are you determined to swindle my Azure Marrow Cleansing Fruit?"

Chen Huo said calmly, "This is a fair trade."

Knowing he couldn't get the Azure Cleansing Fruit back, Zhang Xinglin took the phone away from his ear and roared into the receiver, "Chen Huo, you'll pay for this! I, Zhang Xinglin, am not someone to be trifled with!"

"If you want to die, you can try."

After saying this, Chen Huo hung up the phone.

"Damn it!"

"Chen Huo, I'll kill you!"

Zhang Xinglin roared and smashed his phone to pieces.

Then they started smashing things in the private room to vent their anger.

A full quarter of an hour later, after smashing everything in the private room to pieces, Zhang Xinglin left with a gloomy face and headed straight for Liu Guocheng's location.

Liu Guocheng has been under his control for some time now.

It's time to make a difference.

……

the other side.

Chen Huo did not take Zhang Xinglin's threat seriously at all.

He wasn't afraid of ancient martial arts families like the Wu and Luo families, so why would he be afraid of someone like Zhang Xinglin who depended on the Wu family and was their dog?

Now, he was thinking about how to refine a Breakthrough Pill to help his master break through his current realm. That way, Liu Mei would no longer be a threat, and if he could get rid of her, he could eliminate any future troubles.

The Azure Cleansing Fruit is the main ingredient for refining the Breakthrough Pill.

However, there are two other medicinal herbs that are very important.

Crimson Flame Sunflower and Spiritual Dew Ganoderma.

Although these two medicinal herbs are not as precious as the Azure Cleansing Fruit, they are still extremely rare, and the difficulty of obtaining them is no less than that of the Crimson Blood Dragon Heart Lotus. At least, he had never heard of any place where these two medicinal herbs could be found.

In fact, after learning that Zhang Xinglin possessed the Azure Cleansing Fruit, Chen Huo instructed Yu Ji to use the power of the Goddess Pavilion to search for these two medicinal herbs, but unfortunately, there has been no news to this day.

There is no other way but to wait.

The following morning.

Chen Huo received a call from Liu Guocheng.

"Mr. Chen, I have gone through a lot of trouble to finally prepare the medicinal herbs you requested. I have also prepared two sets for you. I hope you will be satisfied."

Liu Guocheng's tone was full of self-aggrandizement, but Chen Huo didn't detect anything unusual.

"How much? I'll transfer the money to you."

"Mr. Chen, what are you saying? I've already received the money for that Crimson Dragon Heart Lotus. I've already taken advantage of you a lot, how could I dare to ask you for money again? Even if you gave it to me, I wouldn't dare accept it!"

Gu Yingxue paid the money; she didn't take advantage of her power to seize it. Considering the market price of the Crimson Blood Dragon Heart Lotus, Liu Guocheng actually got a good deal.

Since Liu Guocheng didn't want it, Chen Huo naturally wouldn't force him to give it to him.

"Okay, where are you? I'll go get the medicine."

"How could I let you come and pick it up yourself? I'll deliver it to you personally. Just wait patiently at the hotel. I'll leave now and won't keep you waiting!"

Without waiting for Chen Huotong's agreement, Liu Guocheng hung up the phone.

Yu Ji was right next to them when the two were talking on the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Yu Ji said with disgust, "This person's sycophantic face is truly repulsive!"

Chen Huo said calmly, "But it works very well, doesn't it? There are too many people like this; as long as they can get things done, that's enough."

About an hour later, Liu Guocheng arrived.

He was carrying a huge storage box, followed by two burly men.

"Mr. Chen, all the medicinal herbs you requested are here. To prevent them from getting damp and affecting their efficacy, I've packed each herb in a vacuum bag. Please check the age and quality to see if they meet your needs."

Liu Guocheng bowed deeply, his face beaming with smiles.

Chen Huo nodded, gesturing for Yu Ji to take the box.

Yu Ji placed it on the ground, opened the lid, and took out all the medicinal herbs inside, placing them on the coffee table for Chen Huo to inspect.

"This Sal seed is of very high quality; it's considered top-grade."

"And this deer antler grass is even older than I requested."

"..."

Chen Huo examined each item one by one, nodding frequently.

He was very satisfied with Liu Guocheng's performance.

Seeing this, Liu Guocheng moved closer, glanced at his two followers out of the corner of his eye, and after confirming that they couldn't see his face, he quickly rolled his eyes left and right a few times, then fixed his gaze on the medicinal herbs, stuck out his tongue, rolled his eyes, and made a face as if he was about to die.

But his tone and voice remained as obsequious as ever.

"How could I dare to neglect my duties when serving you, Mr. Chen? I will definitely choose the best for you, as long as you are satisfied! If you have any other needs in the future, please feel free to let me know!"

Chen Huo noticed the change in his eyes and expression and knew that there must be something wrong with the medicinal herbs. Liu Guocheng dared not say it outright, so he must be being controlled by someone, just like he was controlled by Wu Shuo back then.

But he did not show any abnormality.

Otherwise, it would harm Liu Guocheng.

Yu Ji had no interest in these medicinal herbs and, being extremely disgusted with Liu Guocheng, paid no attention to them.

Chen Huo remained calm and said indifferently, "Now that you mention it, I do have something I need your help with."

Liu Guocheng bowed and scraped, saying, "It's my honor to be able to do things for you. Just give me your instructions."

"Find me two medicinal herbs: Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower and Spirit Rhinoceros Jade Dew Mushroom."

Chen Huo did this partly to test whether Liu Guocheng could be found, and partly to make the people controlling Liu Guocheng mistakenly believe that they had not discovered anything unusual and that they trusted Liu Guocheng a lot.

"Ah? These two medicinal herbs are hard to find. I can't guarantee that this can be done!" Liu Guocheng said after a slight pause upon hearing this. He knew about these two herbs, but he hadn't seen them on the market for decades.

"Just do your best."

"Alright, I will do my best! Mr. Chen, I won't bother you any longer, farewell." Liu Guocheng bowed and said with a smile.

"Okay, I won't see you off."

"No, no!"

After Liu Guocheng left, Chen Huo immediately instructed Yu Ji:

"Arrange for a few experts from the Goddess Pavilion to keep an eye on Liu Guocheng and see if he's being controlled by Zhang Xinglin. Remember, don't alert him, lest you harm him."

Yu Ji was taken aback upon hearing this.

He realized what was happening in the next instant, and said with surprise and uncertainty:

"Have the medicinal herbs been tampered with?"
