Peerless Little Divine Doctor: The Beautiful CEO Falls for Me

This was Su Qingyan's way of showing him her attitude.

—She, Su Qingyan, and Chen Yuanbao are in the same boat.

Chen Yuanbao put down his teacup and looked at Su Qingyan.

"Mr. Su, what's wrong...?"

"Boss Chen, don't overthink it," Su Qingyan said, looking at him. "I'm not giving you charity. This is an investment."

She paused for a moment, then said, word by word:

"To invest in Chen Yuanbao's future."

The courtyard was quiet for a moment.

Widow Liu lowered her head and ate the rice in her bowl, bite by bite.

She didn't know anything about investing or not, but she could understand the meaning behind Su Qingyan's words.

This woman likes gold ingots.

Widow Liu felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Chen Yuanbao gave Su Qingyan a deep look, then smiled:

"Okay. I, Chen Yuanbao, will remember this favor."

……

By the time Su Qingyan left, it was almost dark.

Chen Yuanbao escorted her to the village entrance, and Su Qingyan turned back before getting into the car.

"Boss Chen."

"Um?"

"Wei Zhaoheng is a very difficult person to deal with," Su Qingyan said in a low voice. "The forbidden technique he cultivates is called 'Spirit Devouring Technique,' which requires him to devour the cultivation of others to sustain his life."

Chen Yuanbao's heart skipped a beat.

"President Su, how do you know so much?"

Su Qingyan's lips curled into a meaningful smile:

"Boss Chen, our Su family... is not an ordinary family."

After saying that, he got into the car.

The Bentley slowly drove away.

Chen Yuanbao stood at the village entrance, watching the taillights of the car gradually disappear into the twilight, his eyes very deep.

He touched the Qingyuan jade pendant in his pocket.

Things are getting more and more interesting.

Chapter 52 The Heartbeat Intensifies Underground, Yuanbao Breaks Through Rank

It was the third day after Su Qingyan left.

The women in the medicinal herb fields on the back hill went to work early in the morning.

Ever since Su Qingyan announced her plans to build roads and a school, Sanshui Village has become as lively as during the Spring Festival. Li Fugui, leaning on his cane, knocked on doors one by one, saying he wanted to hold a village meeting. At the meeting, he said with tears streaming down his face, "From today onwards, all matters, big and small, in Sanshui Village will be decided by Chen Yuanbao."

The old ladies in the village would smile as if they were seeing their own son whenever they saw Chen Yuanbao.

People who used to call him "idiot" now call him "Yuanbao" (meaning "gold ingot"), and those who are even more polite call him "Boss Chen".

When Widow Liu walked through the village, her back was straighter than the door frame of Li Fugui's house.

……

Chen Yuanbao sat in his courtyard and played chess with Xuan.

For the past few days, Xuan Yi has been refusing to leave Sanshui Village. He wrote a letter to his master, saying he was going to Sanshui Village to "investigate the underground treasures," but he knew best in his heart—

He just wanted to follow Chen Yuanbao.

Yesterday, Chen Yuanbao casually taught him a method of condensing Qi, and Xuan Yi was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. Xuan Yi had only just begun his cultivation at Qingwei Temple after seven years of practice, but after spending three days with Chen Yuanbao, he felt that he had learned more than he had in the seven years at Qingwei Temple.

"Yuanbao..." Xuan Yi picked up a chess piece, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Was the cultivation technique you learned taught to you by Fairy Xuanqing?"

Chen Yuanbao casually placed a piece:

Why would I lie to you?

Xuan Yi swallowed hard.

"Fairy Xuanqing, she was a wandering immortal from a thousand years ago..."

"Um."

"Then you wouldn't be...?"

"Isn't that what?"

"Isn't that... my grandmaster's grandmaster's grandmaster's grandmaster...?"

Chen Yuanbao's hand trembled, and the chess piece fell onto the chessboard.

"Stop, stop." Chen Yuanbao quickly waved his hand. "I can't accept that according to seniority. Just call me Yuanbao."

Xuan Yi's lips twitched slightly, but he still managed to hum in agreement.

Playing chess—

Chen Yuanbao suddenly stopped.

His chess piece hovered in the air, and his eyes became somewhat vacant.

"Yuanbao?" Xuan looked at him curiously and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Chen Yuanbao did not speak.

He could sense it.

A familiar yet unfamiliar aura emanated from his dantian.

The aura grew stronger and stronger...

An opportunity to break through the bottleneck!

Chen Yuanbao took a deep breath and stood up with a "snap".

"Xuan Yi, we can't play today's game."

"Huh?" Xuan Yi was confused.

"Go back to your room. Don't open the door for anyone tonight." Chen Yuanbao strode into the house. "Remember, no matter what happens in the yard, don't come out!"

Although Xuan Yi didn't know what had happened, he still hummed in response when he saw Chen Yuanbao's serious expression.

Chen Yuanbao rushed into the house, closed and bolted the door, and then sat cross-legged on the kang (a heated brick bed).

He closed his eyes.

Take a deep breath.

The first level of the "Taiqing Xuanyuan Gong" is Qi Refining.

This is the first step in cultivating immortality, and also the most important one.

From this day forward, he will no longer be "cultivating qi," but will have truly entered the world of cultivation.

Spiritual energy flowed into his body from all directions.

The spiritual energy in the medicinal herb field on the back mountain was continuously guided into Chen Yuanbao's dantian by invisible threads.

The spiritual energy of the jade marrow in the southwest corner of the courtyard also began to stir restlessly.

The spring water at the bottom of the dry well began to bubble and gurgle.

……

The sky gradually darkened.

Widow Liu arrived at the gate of Chen Yuanbao's courtyard with a lunchbox, intending to go in, but was stopped by Xuan Yi.

"Sister Liu, Yuanbao is in seclusion. No one is allowed to disturb him."

Widow Liu was stunned for a moment:

"Seclusion?"

"Um... it's... something very important." Xuan Yi scratched his head, unsure how to explain what seclusion meant to a woman from the countryside.

Widow Liu didn't ask any further questions and placed the lunchbox on the stone at the entrance of the courtyard.

"Then... I'll leave the food there and he can eat it after he's better."

Xuan nodded.

Widow Liu stood there for a while longer before reluctantly leaving.

……

It was already very late at night.

Every household in the village has lit up their lamps.

Li Fugui was sitting in front of his house smoking a pipe when suddenly, the big yellow dog in the yard let out a "woof" and tucked its tail between its legs into its kennel.

"What's wrong with this dog?" Li Fugui muttered.

Immediately afterwards—

"Woof! Woof! Woof!!!"

Old Wang's dog at the east end of the village is barking.

"Woof! Woof!!!"

"Woof woof woof!!!"

One after another.

In less than half a minute, all the dogs in Sanshui Village started barking like crazy.

The cries were shrill and mournful, one after another, as if they had seen a ghost.

The old women in the village were so frightened that they ran out of their homes.

"What's wrong? Is the dog having convulsions?"

"Wait a minute, look, in the sky..."

An old woman pointed to the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw—

There was no moon or stars in the sky.

However, a faint purple mist covered the entire Sanshui Village.

The mist was faint and indistinct, and even upon closer inspection, it was impossible to see clearly.

There was a rustling sound coming from the direction of the back mountain.

Several of the braver men in the village mustered their courage and went to check the back mountain—

All over the medicinal herb fields on the back hill, all the seedlings were bowing towards Chen Yuanbao's house!
