"Medicine King Valley?"

The atmosphere in the meeting room became somewhat somber because of those three words.

Su Wanqing and Jiang Ya both looked at Fang Hongda, waiting for his explanation.

Fang Hongda sighed and leaned back, seemingly organizing his thoughts.

"The origins of Medicine King Valley can be traced back to the Qing and Republican eras. It is said that it started as just an inconspicuous little clinic in the provincial capital."

"Later, a doctor in the clinic developed a medicinal soup that was remarkably effective for martial arts practitioners. It could heal injuries, strengthen the body's foundation, and even help them break through bottlenecks. They gave this medicine a very direct name: Tiger and Wolf Soup."

"From then on, the reputation of Medicine King Valley spread throughout the ancient martial arts circle. Gradually, they stopped seeing ordinary patients and their main business became selling this kind of herbal medicine. At the same time, they also began to teach martial arts, but only accepted talented disciples, and were extremely exclusive, making it difficult for outsiders to find out their background."

Fang Hongda's expression turned serious as he said this.

"Now, Medicine King Valley is the only seller of this potent medicine. Not only in our Jiangnan Province, but also from other provinces and even overseas, people are coming to us with huge sums of money to buy it. Once your new drug hits the market, with such amazing effects, it will directly shake their foundation and is tantamount to declaring war on them."

Su Wanqing frowned. She hadn't expected that a new drug project would involve such a complex group of forces.

Fang Hongda added another sentence, which made her heart sink even more.

"Moreover, Medicine King Valley has a very good relationship with the military. It is said that the reason why so many ancient martial arts masters, grandmasters and war gods have emerged in the military is largely due to the tiger and wolf medicine provided by Medicine King Valley."

Having said that, the threat is quite clear.

But Fang Hongda changed the subject, his gaze falling back on Ye An: "However, I have seen the effects of Master Ye's medicine, and it is no weaker than their potent drugs."

After listening, Su Wanqing quickly made a mental calculation.

She looked up at Fang Hongda: "Then, in Mr. Fang's opinion, how should this matter be handled?"

Fang Hongda pondered for a moment and said, "If you want to sell medicine in the provincial capital, you can't bypass them. The only way to get their approval is to gain the recognition of Yun Jingxing, the current leader of Medicine King Valley."

"This Yun Jingxing is a martial arts fanatic. If you want him to accept you, reasoning with him or talking business with him won't work. The best way is to fight him."

"Hit?" Su Wanqing's hand, which was holding Ye An's arm, tightened instinctively.

Upon hearing that another fight was about to break out, a sense of unease crept into her heart.

But then she thought about it again. She knew Ye An's abilities better than anyone else; he was a cultivator.

So, her worry turned into curiosity, and she asked, "What is the strength of this Sect Leader Yun?"

"Unfathomable." Fang Hongda uttered four words.

"Over the years, masters from both inside and outside the province, and even war gods from the military, have come to Medicine King Valley to challenge him. But I have never heard of anyone winning."

Hearing this, Ye An understood the situation.

In his view, the ancient martial artists in this world above the Grandmaster level should be the so-called "Martial Arts Celestials," which can be roughly equated with the "Innate Realm" of cultivators.

This Yun Jingxing is probably someone of this caliber.

Ye An immediately revealed a look of anticipation; he was actually somewhat eager to witness the power of this martial arts prodigy…

No wonder someone like Fang Hongda admires him so much.

Jiang Ya, listening from the side, was somewhat bewildered and couldn't help but ask, "Is it really that amazing?"

In her mind, the military's war god was already the pinnacle of secular military power.

They can't even beat the God of War?

She thought it was a bit ridiculous.

"How could a small clinic have built a business that extends beyond the province and even overseas? Surely a legitimate pharmaceutical company like Su's Pharmaceutical can't compete with it?"

Fang Hongda shook his head and explained, "Miss Jiang, it's different. In the ancient martial arts circle, a grandmaster is enough to dominate a region and be courted by countless forces. Someone like Yun Jingxing, who has surpassed the grandmaster level, is extremely rare in the entire country."

"His very existence is a golden brand. A single word from him carries more weight than any amount of persuasion from us businessmen. If I hadn't witnessed his power firsthand, I would never have believed it."

At this point, Fang Hongda turned his gaze to Ye An, his eyes once again filled with respect and admiration.

He was filled with mixed emotions.

Yun Jingxing is already an old man in his sixties or seventies. He has devoted his life to martial arts, which is why he has achieved his current status. He can be on good terms with top forces at home and abroad and can be on equal footing with the War God Commander of the Chinese military.

But what about Master Ye in front of us?

How old is he? In his early twenties, right?

At such a young age, he already possesses strength that rivals Yun Jingxing's, and perhaps even surpasses it.

This talent can no longer be described as genius.

This is simply...monstrous.

Jiang Ya noticed the way Fang Hongda looked at Ye An, and her heart skipped a beat.

She understood.

Fang Hongda meant that Ye An was on the same level as Yun Jingxing, or even more powerful.

The moment this thought popped into Jiang Ya's head, her mind was in turmoil.

She looked at Ye An again, the man who sat there with a calm expression from beginning to end.

She finally realized how terribly wrong she had been.

From our first meeting at Wansheng Villa to his questioning downstairs at the company just now, I've always thought of him as some country bumpkin who just got lucky or only knows how to use crude violence.

He even presumptuously begged him to apologize to Wang Ming.

Looking back now, I realize that my actions were probably as ridiculous as children playing house in Ye An's eyes.

A strong sense of regret and remorse welled up in my heart.

She glanced at Su Wanqing beside her again.

Su Wanqing leaned quietly against Ye An, a satisfied and peaceful expression on her face.

Today she was wearing a well-fitting business suit, which accentuated her already outstanding figure.

Jiang Ya suddenly noticed that Su Wanqing seemed even more beautiful today than before.

Previously, the two were both known as "Goddesses of Jiangcheng". Although their styles were different, they were equally beautiful.

However, in their recent meetings, Jiang Ya felt that Su Wanqing was getting better and better.

Her skin wasn't the kind of whiteness achieved through makeup, but rather a radiant, dewy glow that emanated from within, so smooth that pores were barely visible.

Her beautiful eyes, with a hint of indescribable allure in their every glance.

Especially her figure, which seems to be more...fuller than before, and her curves are more attractive.

This change is very subtle; outsiders might just think that President Su looks great lately and is becoming more and more feminine.

But as a woman, especially Jiang Ya, who was very close to her, she was able to keenly perceive the reasons behind this change.

Those were marks left by a man's careful care.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ya subconsciously looked down at herself.

She had always been very confident in herself, but compared to Su Wanqing at this moment, she inexplicably felt a sense of inferiority.

She felt a pang of sadness.

It turns out that this man brought Wanqing more than just a sense of security and a status that others could not reach.

There's also this kind of... transformation that can completely change a woman.

Why didn't I see it back then?

Jiang Ya felt a mix of emotions, and when she looked at Ye An again, her gaze had completely changed.

From initial disdain to later shock, and now to complex emotions and... a hint of envy that even she herself was unwilling to admit.
