Alert! Miracle doctor released from prison

Just then, my phone rang.

Upon seeing who had called, Chen Huo chuckled softly.

"The one who contacted me first wasn't from an ancient martial arts family, but him."

The caller was Yuan Gang, representing the official authorities.

I just finished negotiating the terms with Wu Chengzhe yesterday, and the news only spread today. Yuan Gang is calling now, so it must be about the Breakthrough Pill. The experts among them also want to improve their strength.

Upon answering the phone, Yuan Gang got straight to the point.

"Chen Huo, you know how to refine Breakthrough Pills?"

"I wouldn't say I know how, I just know how to refine it. My master and the Goddess Pavilion are facing threats, so I have to give it a try no matter what."

Chen Huo didn't foolishly tell Yuan Gang the truth. In fact, he was fully confident in refining the Breakthrough Pill, but saying so would put him in a passive position.

"So that means you know how to refine it. That's amazing," Yuan Gang said with some emotion.

"Like I said, I don't really know how, I just wanted to give it a try," Chen Huo said earnestly.

But Yuan Gang didn't believe it, and said with great certainty:

"Alright, I know you too well. You seem arrogant and conceited on the surface, even a bit haughty, but you never do anything without being sure of success. You will definitely be able to refine the Breakthrough Pill!"

Chen Huo thought to himself how formidable he was, but he still refused to admit it aloud.

"If that's how you want to think, then there's nothing I can do."

"Alright, once you've refined it, give us one."

"What's the point of talking about something that's not even out of the question now? Let's wait until it's refined before discussing it further."

"Chen Huo, Chen Huo, stop trying to fool me. You produce at least three Breakthrough Pills per batch, can't I even have one? Don't forget who I represent!"

Yuan Gang's tone was clearly tinged with dissatisfaction.

Chen Huo felt slightly displeased.

Are you threatening me?

"No, why would I threaten you?"

Seemingly realizing that his attitude was somewhat problematic, Yuan Gang softened his tone considerably and said in a serious tone:

"You're different from those ancient martial arts families. You don't have such great ambitions, nor have you done anything to harm the country. What reason do we have to threaten you? We even want to invite you to join us."

Upon hearing this, Chen Huo's heart skipped a beat: "Have those ancient martial arts families ever done anything to threaten the country?"

"I can tell you that once you join us. But let's get back to the previous topic. After you refine the Breakthrough Pill, giving us one isn't an unreasonable request, is it?"

"Then you'll have to wait. You should have received the news that the two missing medicinal herbs are extremely difficult to find." Chen Huo didn't give a definite answer; he needed to consider this matter.

First, we must ensure that the Goddess Pavilion is not removed by the authorities.

Only under this premise can the official breakthrough pill be given.

"I know, we're not saying we're going to take your Breakthrough Pill for free. We've already given orders to help you collect those two medicinal herbs, but we can't guarantee we'll find them."

Thank you.

"Chen Huo, why are you spouting all this nonsense?"

Not receiving a clear answer from Chen Huo, Yuan Gang grew anxious and spoke rapidly:

"I've been pretty good to you, haven't I? You cause trouble everywhere, people die all the time, and we haven't bothered you at all, have we? We've even taken the initiative to clear up the troubles for you, can't you see that? You should have a conscience, you know?"

Hearing this, Chen Huo sighed inwardly.

Yuan Gang was absolutely right.

The authorities have been quite tolerant of him.

Back in Beijing, he drove into the Li family home and killed more than ten people.

He killed someone else on the way to the airport.

I arrived in Jinzhou because that idiot Lü Dong had also killed someone.

With so many lives lost, if it were an ordinary person, it certainly wouldn't be let off so easily. Even if it was self-defense, the proper procedures would still have to be followed, and normally he should be in detention right now.

Even if he has a special status, he won't get away with it so easily.

From this perspective, the authorities have actually treated him quite well.

Moreover, Yuan Gang personally dealt with Wu Shuo last time. Otherwise, if those two bottles of hydrogen cyanide gas had exploded, even he would have been in some danger, and it was not impossible for him to have been caught off guard and capsized.

Chen Huo has always been clear about his gratitude and grievances.

Hearing Yuan Gang say this, they had no choice but to admit it.

"Alright, if we refine enough Breakthrough Pills, giving you one wouldn't be a bad idea. After all, I need to keep two for myself for the future, right?"

"Come on, you're a perfect Yang body. Breaking through realms is a natural process for you. Why would you need that stuff? You absolutely have to save me one of these pills!"

"In the future, I will try to break through that legendary realm, so why wouldn't I need a breakthrough pill?" Chen Huo said seriously.

Yuan Gang on the other end of the phone fell silent upon hearing this.

After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect you to have such ambitions. To be honest, this makes me a little worried. There shouldn't be any transcendent people in this world."

Chen Huo's heart stirred, and he chuckled, saying, "That's decades from now. What's the use of thinking about it now? Besides, you know that's a legendary realm, and we don't even know if it's real or not."

The Emperor Realm is not the end for martial arts experts in this world.

It is said that there are even higher realms above the ninth level.

That level of attainment is practically equivalent to being a terrestrial immortal.

However, no one has ever truly reached that level throughout history.

Chen Huo was just making up an excuse, but he didn't expect Yuan Gang to take it seriously and start to consider that he might become a threat to the country in the future, which was something he hadn't anticipated.

"Alright, there's no point in talking about things from so long ago. This matter is settled. I can represent the authorities and lend a hand when you need help in the future."

"……All right."

Chen Huo thought about it for a moment and then agreed.

Once he gets his hands on the medicinal herbs, Chen Huo is confident that he can refine at least six pills in one batch.

We'll give one to Master, one to Aunt Song, and four left.

He could keep three for himself and give one to Yuan Gang without any problem.

Having a numerical advantage means that he and the Goddess Pavilion have a strength advantage. The authorities are hesitant to take action against the Goddess Pavilion, which makes it very unlikely. Moreover, there are other ancient martial arts families to keep them in check.

"That's great, just call me if you need anything!"

Yuan Gang laughed heartily, very happy.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Huo looked at Luo Yunxi.

"Judging from what Yuan Gang is saying, it seems your ancient martial arts family has done something that threatens the country. Are you aware of that?"

"I do know a little about this matter; it's a core family secret. If anyone else asked, I definitely wouldn't tell, but Dr. Chen, you're different."

Luo Yunxi smiled.

Then his expression gradually became serious.

"I once overheard my father, no, that old man, talking to someone and heard that some ancient martial arts families had colluded with foreign forces in order to escape official suppression."

Upon hearing this, Chen Huo's face darkened.

He never expected that there would be such unscrupulous individuals among the ancient martial arts families.

Aren't you afraid of letting a wolf into the house and ending up harming everyone?
