Ye Wushuang remembered all too clearly the day she encountered Li Weiguo, as she had accepted a dinner invitation from a young Junjie from the Yu Family and had run into Li Weiguo on the way.

However, at that time, Li Weiguo was obviously in trouble; Chu Yanran's son and the old lady of the Li Family had both fainted on the ground!

Yu Zhengqing, who was that young Junjie from the Yu Family, was an intern doctor at the capital's hospital, and under her instigation, bravely stepped forward to help, brandishing his blade. However, such an opportunity to show his face was completely ruined by a peasant worker!

That bumpkin worker was undoubtedly the most rubbish person Ye Wushuang had ever seen in her life.

Had it not been for that bumpkin causing trouble, if Yu Zhengqing had managed to heal the two close relatives of Chu Yanran, then the empress would owe her a huge favor by implication. The alliance between the Ye Family and Yanran International would have been a breeze; she would not have had to lower herself for the sake of her family.

Therefore, in Ye Wushuang's eyes, that bumpkin worker was nothing less than a vile and unforgivably wicked person!

Today, Ye Wushuang saw Ye Chen again, but this bumpkin worker had undergone a transformation, becoming a respected guest of Yanran International. The change in appearance and status meant Ye Wushuang did not recognize that Ye Chen was the bumpkin she found so repulsive.

However, with just one sentence from Li Weiguo, Ye Wushuang's face lost color, turning pale as if she had suffered a terrible fright.

Ye Wushuang looked at Ye Chen in horror; she recognized that Ye Chen was that bumpkin worker she had wished to flay a thousand times over.

"It seems you've recognized me, I am indeed that worker," Ye Chen said with a smile, observing Ye Wushuang's pallid complexion.

After stepping into the Mid Grandmaster Stage, Ye Chen's transcendent aura became even more apparent. With his smile, he seemed to bask in the spring breeze, blinding Ye Wushuang completely.

"You, you, you!" Ye Wushuang was virtually speechless with shock.

Chu Yanran and Tong Xingtong exchanged looks, somewhat puzzled. Could it be that these two knew each other from before?

Li Weiguo, seeing Ye Wushuang looking as if she had seen a ghost, couldn't help but smile broadly! By the heavens, Old Li added to the fray to help you vent your anger; aren't you pleased.

Ye Chen felt extremely satisfied at the moment, witnessing Ye Wushuang's utmost shock towards him was like being at the pinnacle of life, receiving adoration from a beautiful, affluent woman.

"Chu Yanran, Tong Xingtong, let's find a place to talk in detail. I have some nice things to show you!" Ye Chen said.

Ye Wushuang was indeed a top-notch beauty, but at this moment, Ye Chen clearly could not be bothered with her.

"Alright, let's go to my room," Chu Yanran calmed her excitement, knowing Ye Chen was about to give her the Pure Yang Elixir.

Tong Xingtong nodded indifferently; she was also eager to witness the Pure Yang Elixir, an elixir believed to exist only in legends and rarely seen in reality.

Moreover, the guy took such a long time and consumed a massive amount of medicinal materials; he definitely wouldn't have refined just three batches of elixirs. Tong Xingtong felt it was necessary to reveal all of Ye Chen's private stock.

"Wushuang, there's nothing else here for you to do, you can go and rest," Chu Yanran said, clearly sending her away, as there were some things she did not want Ye Wushuang to be involved with too much.

"Understood, Director Chu," Ye Wushuang nodded, her complexion somewhat ashen.

Ye Chen, who was honored by the empress herself, yet she had had an extremely unpleasant incident with him. This was, in Ye Wushuang's view, the greatest blunder of her life!

However, she truly could not understand how a bumpkin worker could gain Chu Yanran's favor; even if this man had once saved Chu Yanran's relatives, it still seemed a bit too much.

What Ye Wushuang found the most intolerable was that this bumpkin had transformed in a twinkle, gleaming with gold, so dazzling that she could barely keep her eyes open.

…

Ye Chen lay comfortably sprawled on the large bed in Chu Yanran's bedroom, exhausted from his relentless, round-the-clock effort in refining elixirs over the past ten days.

Yet despite not having eaten for ten days, he surprisingly didn't feel any sensation of hunger.

While refining elixirs, Ye Chen casually made a batch of Fasting Pills, which contained the essence of herbs and greatly benefited the human body. Ordinary people who consumed one would not feel any hunger for three to five days.

The Fasting Pill was only a basic elixir; Ye Chen could already refine it when he was still an Alchemist, and now that he had advanced to Alchemy Master, it was even easier for him.

"Ye Chen, can you please stop being unreasonable!" Tong Xingtong said in a cold voice.

Upon arrival at Chu Yanran's suite, Ye Chen went straight into Chu Yanran's room and without hesitation, kicked off his shoes and flopped onto the bed.

"How am I acting shamelessly!" Ye Chen didn't understand.

"This is Yanran's couch, and I sometimes sleep on this bed too. You threw yourself onto this bed with a face full of pleasure, if that's not hooliganism, what is!" Tong Xingtong's anger was growing.

"Alright, hurry up and take a look at the good stuff I've crafted these days!" Seeing that the situation was turning sour, Ye Chen quickly changed the subject.

"Bang!"

Ye Chen brought down the cloth bag tied to him and placed it on the table, making a dull thud.

"These are the elixirs you crafted? How come there are so many?" Chu Yanran exclaimed.

"For the elixirs you've crafted this time, I can allow you to take some of them away. We get eighty percent, you get thirty percent!" Tong Xingtong said coldly, arguing over profit sharing with Ye Chen.

"Let's not talk about the rest for now. I've got something to discuss with you both!" Ye Chen spoke seriously.

"I've crafted many different types of elixirs this time, and I've got an idea, which is that I provide the proprietary technology and you provide the financing and holding!" Ye Chen looked at the two women earnestly. "I want to start a medicinal company!"

"Just with these lousy pills you've concocted, who knows if they're expired products without brand or quality, who would buy them?" Tong Xingtong scoffed coldly.

"Are you itching for a beating? Should I give you a full-body massage?"

Ye Chen looked at Tong Xingtong, the venomous beauty, squinting slightly. Those familiar with him would know that this was a sign he was about to launch an attack.

"You bastard Ye Chen!" Tong Xingtong gritted her teeth in anger at Ye Chen's roguish behavior.

However, Tong Xingtong ultimately didn't do anything too rash because she knew Ye Chen was reckless. He had once groped her chest, and she certainly did not want to be touched by a man again.

"Director Chu, here are the three Pure Yang Elixirs I promised you!" Ye Chen took out three little porcelain bottles as smooth as jade and handed them to Chu Yanran.

All these porcelain vials, the medicinal herbs, the Alchemy Furnace, and some alchemy equipment were provided by Chu Yanran, and Ye Chen's promise was three furnaces worth of Pure Yang Elixirs.

"Thank you!" Holding the Pure Yang Elixirs in her hands, Chu Yanran expressed her gratitude.

"It's a matter of principle to honor one's commitments!" Ye Chen said.

"Why thank him? We spent money for him to craft so many elixirs, and all he gave us were these three tiny bottles!" Tong Xingtong was very dissatisfied with Ye Chen's thuggish behavior. "He has benefited too much from us. We absolutely can't let him monopolize these elixirs!"

"Enough, stop making a fuss." Ye Chen gave Tong Xingtong a stern look. "Now let's get to the main topic. Let me introduce you to my results!"

Ye Chen took out a bunch of small porcelain bottles filled with elixirs from the cloth bag. All these elixirs were the fruits of Ye Chen's labor, but they had been improved by him and were highly suitable for mechanical production, which was why he had said he wanted to start a medicinal company.

"This is the Hundred Treasures Elixir. The old lady had once taken one," Ye Chen explained as he took up a small porcelain bottle and presented it to the two women. "The effect of this Hundred Treasures Elixir is to calm the mind and nourish qi, strengthening a person's essence. It is a type of tonic elixir."

"Can this type of elixir be produced in large quantities?" Chu Yanran asked.

"Certainly, but the mass-produced Hundred Treasures Elixirs will be much less effective!" Ye Chen explained. "However, I dare to assert that even the mass-produced Hundred Treasures Elixirs will be better than all the nutritional supplements currently on the market!"

Chu Yanran nodded thoughtfully, while the usually silent Tong Xingtong's eyes sparkled at Ye Chen's words. Breaking into the health supplement market was indeed a great business opportunity!

If the Hundred Treasures Elixir provided by Ye Chen was as miraculous as he claimed, then this was certainly a huge fortune!

"The Hundred Treasures Elixir is just a starter; I also have this, the Beauty Enhancement Pill!" Ye Chen picked up another bottle of elixirs. "This has been modified by me to be specially designed for women: nurturing the skin, making it more delicate and smooth, reducing wrinkles, as well as having other amazing effects. You will know once you try it for yourselves. In short, the effects of the Beauty Enhancement Pill are very powerful!"

"Is it really that miraculous?" Tong Xingtong asked skeptically.
