After being imprisoned in a women's prison for five years, I became a master of both medicine a

At the auction, Lin Shasha couldn't resist Ye Chen's insistence and bought a broken gourd for ten yuan.

Ye Chen said he wanted to use it to hold water, and Lin Shasha didn't pay much attention at first, but she didn't expect him to actually use it as a water bottle.

"Sasha, drink some water."

Ye Chen handed the gourd to Lin Shasha, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Brother Chen, this water is dirty, we can't drink it," Lin Shasha said, both amused and exasperated.

"Not dirty, smells good."

Ye Chen knew that if Lin Shasha didn't know that the water in the gourd contained the medicinal power of the Breakthrough Pill, she would never drink it.

Thinking of this, he didn't say a word, but directly aimed at the gourd mouth and took a sip.

"Big brother, spit it out!"

Lin Shasha was dumbfounded. This gourd had been left in the wild for hundreds of years. Who knew what kind of dirty things had crawled inside? If she took a bite, she would probably have an upset stomach for half a day.

She grabbed Ye Chen by the neck and shook him, slapping his back hard, but it had no effect.

"Don't worry, brother, I'll take you to the hospital for a stomach pump right away."

As she spoke, Lin Shasha was about to lead Ye Chen away.

Just then, the beautiful proprietress of Gu Fang Ge suddenly walked in.

She smiled and said, "I do have some medical knowledge; why don't I take a look at this young master?"

Lin Shasha knew that this proprietress was someone important, so she quickly bowed and thanked her repeatedly, then pressed Ye Chen's arm down on the table.

The beautiful young woman extended three slender fingers and placed them on Ye Chen's wrist.

Feeling a wisp of gentle true energy seeping into his skin from her fingertips, as if trying to explore his body, Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

This proprietress is no ordinary person; her strength is at least at the Qi Refining Grandmaster level.

Helping him with his medical treatment was a pretense; her real intention was to investigate his background. She just didn't know why she was interested in him.

However, she was destined to find out nothing.

After a brief diagnosis, the beautiful young woman's expression changed slightly. She looked at Ye Chen, who had an innocent and naive face, with a complex expression and a hint of apprehension in her eyes.

This young man in front of her was indeed strange. No matter what kind of true energy she sent into Ye Chen's body, it was like a mud ox entering the sea, and she could no longer feel it.

It felt as if she were a stream, trying to measure the vastness of the ocean with her own water.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Lin Shasha became very anxious.

"How is he? Is my brother Chen alright?"

"I'm fine. The water in this gourd tastes so good. It makes me feel warm and comfortable all over."

As he spoke, Ye Chen stared at the beautiful young woman, clearly making a suggestive gesture towards her.

"This guy isn't a fool; he's clearly a peerless master!"

The beautiful young woman felt a chill run down her spine, realizing that her actions had offended Ye Chen. Just as she was trying to find a way to make amends, she received a hint from Ye Chen.

With her shrewdness, how could she not know that Ye Chen wanted Lin Shasha to drink the water in the gourd?

Thinking of this, she smiled and spoke to Lin Shasha.

"Not only is this young master unharmed, but his pulse is also strong and powerful, as if he has taken a physique-enhancing pill. It seems that the contents of this gourd are not simple!"

After saying that, she picked up the gourd and looked at it again, and immediately showed a look of surprise.

"This gourd must have been used to hold Breakthrough Pills. The medicinal properties of the pill residue inside are equivalent to a whole Breakthrough Pill."

"Huh... this works too?"

Lin Shasha was dumbfounded, which meant that she had essentially gotten a Breakthrough Pill for ten yuan.

There are four grades of Breakthrough Pills, but even the lowest grade is worth more than 5 billion, and they are priceless and unavailable. Ordinary martial artists simply cannot buy them. She and Ye Chen have hit the jackpot today!

"Brother, I don't want to drink it. You should drink it. Maybe you'll feel better after you drink it."

To the beautiful young woman's surprise, upon learning the effects of the gourd of water, Lin Shasha gave it to Ye Chen without hesitation.

Ye Chen was in a bind. This stubborn girl was being too nice to him, so nice that he wanted to punch her.

Fortunately, the beautiful young woman was quick-witted and immediately smiled upon seeing this.

"This gourd of water is equivalent to a whole Breakthrough Pill, containing powerful spiritual energy. If this young master drinks it, he might burst from the heat."

"I think you're only one step away from becoming a Qi Refining Grandmaster. Drinking this will definitely help you break through that barrier."

"Hehe, I forgot you're just an ordinary person now. How about this, I'll take the gourd back first, adjust myself, and then drink it."

Lin Shasha scratched her head and gave Ye Chen a silly smile, feeling a little embarrassed.

Breaking through to the Qi Refining Grandmaster level is not easy; it requires adjusting one's mind and body to their optimal state.

Now that Lin Shasha knows how precious this pot of water is, Ye Chen naturally has nothing to worry about anymore.

Just then, Lin Shasha's phone suddenly rang.

"It was Ningning's sister-in-law calling."

Lin Shasha answered the phone, "Yes, I'm still with Brother Chen. Sunshine Hotel, right? Okay, I'll take Brother Chen there right now."

After hanging up the phone, she said to Ye Chen.

"Ningning's sister-in-law just called and said that Miss Li invited some acquaintances from Jiangcheng to introduce her to you. We'll head over first, and she'll come over as soon as she finishes her work at the company."

"Okay, okay, let's go eat quickly, my tummy is about to rumble!" Ye Chen clapped and cheered.

He knew that Li Muling was introducing him and Gu Ning to the Li family's connections in Jiangcheng, so that they could ask these people for help in the future.

"Alright, let's go."

"Thank you so much, boss lady, for today!"

Lin Shasha thanked the beautiful young woman, and then tried to pull Ye Chen away.

The beautiful young woman quickly took out two gold-embossed black cards. "These are the Gu Fang Pavilion's Supreme VIP Black Cards. With these, you can enjoy the highest level of treatment at any Gu Fang Pavilion in the Great Xia Dynasty. Please accept them."

"This...this isn't quite right."

Lin Shasha knew that this black card was not just a simple thing; it was not just about enjoying the top-level treatment at the Ancient Fang Pavilion. The most powerful thing was that it could mobilize a portion of the Ancient Fang Pavilion's power.

They spent ten yuan here today, and I really don't dare to accept that.

The beautiful young woman smiled and said, "Although you spend little, you help me earn a lot, so please accept it quickly and don't feel guilty."

Thinking of Jiang Hu's expression when he left, as if he had just eaten a fly, Lin Shasha laughed and accepted the black card.

Ye Chen knew the rules of the Ancient Fang Pavilion better than she did. He knew that only those who had spent over 50 billion were qualified to have such a card. The beautiful young woman was trying to curry favor with him.

He nodded slightly to the woman, acknowledging her kindness, and then left with Lin Shasha.

Watching them walk away, the beautiful young woman murmured to herself.

"Young Master Ye has already regained consciousness. Jiangcheng is likely to be turned upside down in the coming days. It's time for my Hundred Flowers Society to place our bets."

Then, he beckoned over an old steward.

"Where did Jiang Hu and his gang go?"

The steward respectfully reported, "Reporting to Master Mudan, that group of people has already gone to the Gu Group, presumably intending to kidnap Gu Ning to retaliate against the Ye family."

The beautiful woman pondered for a moment, then gave her instructions.

"Send a few experts to keep an eye on them. If Gu Ning's life is in danger, go out and rescue him."

"Understood."

The old steward agreed and went to make the arrangements.
