Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 191 Medicine


Ye Xiao and Lan Lan left the Fast Shadow Race Track and went directly to the nearest Industrial and Commercial Bank.

The account was in Lan Lan's name, so the money belonged to Lan Lan. However, it eventually got transferred to Ye Xiao's card.

"You really struck it rich today. How are you planning to treat me to a meal?" Lan Lan said with a giggle as they left the bank.

Ye Xiao jokingly mulled it over, then responded, "Beef noodles."

"No way, you're that stingy?" Lan Lan protested. "You just came into millions. You should treat yourself to something nice. Even if you put a whole kilogram of beef in it, how much could that possibly cost?"

Hearing Lan Lan's words, Ye Xiao thought she had a point. But what should they eat?

"Abalone? Shark fin? Giant lobster?" Ye Xiao turned to Lan Lan. He truly did need to thank Lan Lan today. If it weren't for this girl, he couldn't have made so much money.

"Whatever, everything is fine. It's still early anyway. Oh right, Ye Xiao, I want to ask you something. Tell me the truth."

Ye Xiao looked at Lan Lan, smiling, "What's up? Why so serious?"

Lan Lan asked, "Today, you really did mess with my car and drove it up to around 400, but that blue Porsche, could you really just tinker with it a bit and drive it up to 600?"

When Lan Lan mentioned this, Ye Xiao was taken aback. So she had been skeptical about this all along. Honestly, Ye Xiao wasn't surprised by Lan Lan's skepticism. It would have been shocking if she hadn't doubted it at all.

"Do you really want to know?" Ye Xiao asked, smiling at Lan Lan.

Lan Lan nodded.

"Alright, since you helped me make over ten million today, I'll tell you. Actually, I did tamper with your car a bit. The loose parts needed tightening, and the tight parts needed loosening. It's that simple. A few tweaks and the performance is completely different."

Hearing this, Lan Lan thought to herself that it made sense. No wonder Ye Xiao had suddenly asked her to stop the car, then fiddled around a bit and achieved such a speed.

"But, my car had already been modified," Lan Lan said. "What about that blue Porsche, though? It hadn't been modified yet. How could it reach such speeds? That's over 600."

Ye Xiao thought for a moment, then answered, "If I said it's a natural talent, would you believe me?"

"A talent?" Lan Lan was even more puzzled upon hearing this. What does that have to do with a talent?

Ye Xiao, seeing Lan Lan's confusion, then smilingly added, "Let's put it this way. Every car can reach a speed of 600 or even higher. The difference is that when an ordinary car, that is, an unmodified car, reaches that speed and the engine stops running, that means the engine is completely wrecked. That's why I told that car owner that he needs a new engine. I think he must be worrying right now about why it won't start."

Lan Lan was a smart girl. When Ye Xiao explained this, she truly understood why Ye Xiao said 'talent'. Ye Xiao was that talented person who, after all, could drive an ordinary car over 600, which was practically unheard of.

But Ye Xiao had done it.

That's a speed of 600.

Lan Lan sincerely said to Ye Xiao, "You're really amazing."

Ye Xiao just responded with a slight smile.

"What about my car? How fast can it go?" Lan Lan pursued.

"Close to 700," Ye Xiao replied with a smile. Then added, "But the engine still needs improvement. I guarantee if your car reaches 700, after five times, the engine would be destroyed. Oh, and Xu Ming's Lamborghini is really good; just by hearing it, I can tell the modifications are nearly perfect. It can easily go up to 680, and it could push 800 without much detriment."

800.

Hearing Ye Xiao's casual words, Lan Lan felt like it was all a dream. 800, what kind of speed was that?

Ye Xiao, seeing Lan Lan's astonished expression, just smiled slightly. "Why so surprised? Do you think 800 kilometers per hour is a high speed? Don't think like that. There are lots of strange things in this world. There will be speeds of 1000 kilometers per hour; it's just that ordinary people don't know about them."

"Really? 1000 kilometers per hour?" Lan Lan looked at Ye Xiao, somewhat incredulously.

Ye Xiao nodded, "Of course, there are. Let's not talk about this anymore. We should think about what to eat tonight."

"It doesn't matter what we eat, but hey, Xu Ming invited you to join the Weihang Club. Why aren't you interested? You know, the Weihang Club is not just any racing club," Lan Lan said seriously to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao immediately responded with curiosity, "What's so special about it? It's just a bunch of rich people. I really have no interest in associating with those wealthy idlers."

Lan Lan burst into laughter and said, "You have resentment towards the rich."

"Whatever, who told you that? I don't, by the way, do you know where in Minghai City I can find precious medicinal materials?" Ye Xiao suddenly thought that since Lan Lan knew many wealthy families, especially someone like Xu Ming, she might be able to help him collect precious medicinal materials. Only by gathering enough precious materials could he produce the pills according to the old man's formula.

"If I remember correctly, Xu Ming's father is the biggest pharmaceutical developer in Minghai City. Ming Long Pharmaceutical in Minghai City belongs to his family. That's why he's so wealthy," Lan Lan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Ye Xiao immediately regretted offending Xu Ming; maybe he really could get the materials he needed from Xu Ming.

But no matter, he also couldn't just degrade himself over some materials.

Lan Lan looked at Ye Xiao and asked, "What do you need those materials for?"

Ye Xiao obviously couldn't tell the truth, thought for a moment, then chuckled slyly and said, "There are too many people here, I'm embarrassed to say."

"You? Embarrassed?" Lan Lan immediately responded with disdain, "Come on, what are they for? It's not for strengthening your body, right?"

Ye Xiao pretended to ponder, then said, "You could say you're half right."

If Ye Xiao hadn't said that, maybe Lan Lan wouldn't have continued asking. But now that she heard his words, her interest piqued, she looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Come on, just tell me what it is."

Seeing that he really had piqued Lan Lan's curiosity, Ye Xiao secretly smirked, then looked at her and said, "Since you insist on knowing, I'll tell you, but after I tell you, you can't ask why; you can only praise me."

"Why?"

"Do you wanna hear or not?"

"Fine, I promise," Lan Lan conceded.

Ye Xiao then leaned closer to Lan Lan and whispered, "I'm working on a kind of medicine that benefits marital life, you get it?"

Lan Lan was no fool, and upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, she immediately understood the gist. She looked up at Ye Xiao, clearly annoyed that he would say such things to her. However, she quickly realized she had insisted on hearing it, and Ye Xiao had warned her, so even though she felt both embarrassed and irritated, she found herself at a loss for words.

"Praise me," Ye Xiao said with a smug grin.

"Shameless," Lan Lan retorted, seeing right through Ye Xiao's deliberate provocation.

"That's not a word of praise," Ye Xiao immediately replied.

Lan Lan said, "Scoundrel."

"Alright, let's change the subject to something about being shameless."

Lan Lan had indeed successfully joined Weihang Club, although Ye Xiao didn't care much for the club, Lan Lan took it very seriously.

Weihang Club was all about networking, and once you were in, it could be very beneficial for oneself and one's family in the future.

"Are you really not interested in knowing about Weihang Club?" Lan Lan was still somewhat hopeful.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "That Weihang Club thing, I'm really not interested, but if it's really impressive, then you could help me find some medicinal materials."

"Just a few materials, tell me which ones," Lan Lan said confidently, believing in the club's capabilities.

Ye Xiao thought for a moment, then said, "One thousand-year-old wild Cordyceps, one thousand-year-old wild Polygonum multiflorum, and one thousand-year-old wild ginseng. Not too many, just these three, but of course, the more the better."

Lan Lan didn't know much about medicinal materials, but just hearing 'thousand-year-old wild' she knew these were exceptionally rare. But was this really about the kind of medicine Ye Xiao mentioned that would benefit marital life?

Wasn't that a bit preposterous?

Lan Lan looked at Ye Xiao and asked, "Are you sure it's just for making that kind of medicine?"

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "What's so impossible about that? Just help me find them, make sure they are authentic."

"Alright, I'll definitely find them for you. Although these medicinal materials are very precious, it's not like they're impossible to find. However, it may require some money. How about this, give me five million."

Without hesitation, Ye Xiao said, "Give me your account number."

Although this money was meant for the company's future development, if he could obtain the Heart Cleansing Pill, a single pill was absolutely worth more than five million. Not to mention five million Yan Country Coins, even five million Northern Federation Coins probably wouldn't buy it.
