Zhan Bo and Wei Yang were going stir-crazy in the hospital ward, their injuries were quite severe this time, but luckily, they cultivated their True Yang Skill every night when nobody was around, and their governor and conception vessels had been opened, so the effects of cultivating the True Yang Skill were very good!

It was precisely because of the True Yang Skill that their injuries were healing quite fast!

However, no matter how fast they were healing, they couldn't possibly recover completely in just two or three days, so they had to stay in the ward. If it weren't for Song Jiaqian working here, practically helping Ye Xiao keep an eye on them, they would have sneaked out to have fun long ago!

When they heard the exclamation, "Wow, who is smoking?" Zhan Bo and Wei Yang, who had just lit up less than half of their cigarettes, quickly stuffed them under the blanket!

Soon after, Ye Xiao and Song Jiaqian walked into the ward!

At that moment, the ward was indeed filled with smoke!

Ye Xiao looked at Zhan Bo and Wei Yang with a smile, fully understanding how they felt at this moment!

"Brother Xiao!" As soon as Zhan Bo and Wei Yang saw Ye Xiao, they immediately grinned and said, "Brother Xiao, we're almost better, why don't we just check out?"

"Whether you check out or not, wait a moment, which one of you was smoking?" Song Jiaqian frowned and glared at Zhan Bo and Wei Yang as she spoke.

Zhan Bo and Wei Yang exchanged a glance, smirked and shook their heads in unison, indicating they had no idea.

But at that moment, Song Jiaqian suddenly smelled a burnt odor that was different from the smell of smoke!

With a puzzled expression, Song Jiaqian said, "It seems like something is burnt here. You two haven't been playing with fire, have you?"

At Song Jiaqian's words, Wei Yang suddenly cried out "Ouch," quickly pulled his hand out from under the blanket with a cigarette butt that was about to go out still clutched in it; it turned out that Wei Yang hadn't snuffed out the cigarette properly when he stuffed it under the blanket, and it had burned through his pants right at the spot over his leg, even scorching his thigh!

"You two..." When Song Jiaqian saw that Zhan Bo and Wei Yang had actually stuffed the cigarette under the blanket, she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, then turned to Ye Xiao beside her and said, "Hurry up and talk some sense into your friends. How can they smoke in a hospital?"

Ye Xiao immediately nodded and said, "Alright, no problem. I'll give them a good talking-to. But you go ahead and get busy, Jiaqian, they definitely won't have any dignity left after I scold them in front of you."

"Hmph, talk about dignity. Okay, I'll go out first. Make sure you talk to them properly, this is a hospital after all!" Song Jiaqian said as she walked out.

When Ye Xiao saw Song Jiaqian leave, he immediately went to the door of the ward, closed it, and then turned around with a stern face to look at Zhan Bo and Wei Yang!

"This is a hospital after all. Can't you give me some face? There's a bathroom right there, can't you smoke in the bathroom?" Ye Xiao said, pulling out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, "The scolding's over, so here's a reward, one for each of you!"

Ye Xiao said this as he drew out two cigarettes and tossed them to Zhan Bo and Wei Yang.

"You guys.. Is Song Jiaqian someone easy to bully? Do you know that if she's in a bad mood, I have to please her with a smile and good words? And you guys dare to upset her, she's a nurse, you know. Doctors have numerous ways of dealing with patients!" Ye Xiao said as he lit a cigarette.

Zhan Bo and Wei Yang also lit their cigarettes, both chuckling and saying, "Brother Xiao, we understand!"

Ye Xiao said, "You can't just say you understand with words, show it through your actions."

At that moment, Wei Yang said with a laugh, "Brother Xiao, did you hear about the doctor named Du Yan who got beaten up today?"

"I know!"

"Brother Xiao, tell me the truth, was it you who did it?" Zhan Bo chuckled as he looked at Ye Xiao, unable to imagine anyone else bold enough to give Du Yan such a thrashing in public except for Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao said, "You could say that."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhan Bo and Wei Yang immediately confirmed their suspicions!

Wei Yang turned to Ye Xiao and said, "Brother Xiao, we're almost recovered. Let's just check out of here. We heard from Yu Ze that there's a new principal at Minghai Academy who wants to mess with us. We want to go back and see what they're made of!"

"That matter has already been settled. From now on, you can do as you please at Minghai Academy without anyone bothering you," Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhan Bo and Wei Yang immediately gave him an admiring look.

Ye Xiao then looked at the two and asked, "So, how's the True Yang Skill cultivation going these past few days?"

"Ever since we opened our governor and conception vessels, the speed of cultivating the True Yang Skill has increased a lot," Zhan Bo quickly told Ye Xiao!

Wei Yang also said, "Yeah, now we both feel like the power inside our bodies is so much stronger than before!"

Ye Xiao said, "That's good. Rest well, and once the external injuries on your bodies have healed, I will let you achieve a rapid increase in strength!"

"Oh?" Hearing Ye Xiao's words, the two were quite surprised and asked, "Brother Xiao, can we really increase our strength quickly? That would be great. I must take revenge. Those who beat us up, we must annihilate them!"

Ye Xiao said, "Forget about those people, Zhou Hao has already taken care of them."

Weii Yang and Zhan Bo, upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, immediately said with longing, "If only we could become as strong as Big Brother Zhou Hao someday, that'd be fantastic!"

Ye Xiao chatted with Weii Yang and Zhan Bo for a while, then he left the hospital!

The reason was that Zhou Hao had called, saying that he had already returned, and moreover, he had brought back the medicinal ingredients Ye Xiao had mentioned!

Those ingredients were essential for producing Source Life Liquid and Qi Gathering Pills. With these materials, Ye Xiao would be able to refine Source Life Liquid and Qi Gathering Pills, and at that time, the cultivation speed of Ling Shuya, Zhou Yuyan, and others would see a significant boost!

What Ye Xiao now hoped for was to let each of them have the ability to protect themselves. Only if they were safe could he focus on other matters!

After leaving the hospital, he quickly returned to Sunshine District, and by the time Ye Xiao got back to Sunshine District, Zhou Hao was already in the villa area, but this time, it wasn't Ling Shuya's villa he went to, but Zhou Yuyan's!

It was Ye Xiao's first visit to Zhou Yuyan's villa, which had the same decorative layout as Ling Shuya's!

"Brother Xiao, these are the medicinal ingredients you wanted!" Zhou Hao took out a small cloth bag, which contained roughly a pound of ingredients!

Upon seeing there was only this small amount, Ye Xiao immediately asked in confusion, "Is this all?"

Zhou Hao could only offer a wry smile and said, "The items are too expensive!"

Ye Xiao, puzzled, said, "Didn't the Heart Cleansing Pill sell for twenty million Northern Federation Coins?"

Zhou Hao nodded and said, "Yes, twenty million Northern Federation Coins is correct, but... but one Bitter Life Fruit costs 1.8 million Northern Federation Coins, and the Snake Desire Grass is even more expensive—each one requires 2.5 million Northern Federation Coins. Sigh, this money is practically worthless in front of these ultra-rare medicinal ingredients."

After hearing Zhou Hao's words, although Ye Xiao had anticipated that Bitter Life Fruit and Snake Desire Grass would be extremely expensive, he hadn't expected them to be that pricey!

"Brother Xiao, as far as I know, Bitter Life Fruit and Snake Desire Grass are the main ingredients for the rare medicinal Source Life Liquid and Qi Gathering Pills respectively. You've spent a fortune on these—are you by any chance..." Zhou Hao thought of something, but he wasn't sure!

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow at Zhou Hao and said, "What have you thought of?"

"I don't know if I'm correct!" Zhou Hao hesitated.

Ye Xiao said, "If you've thought of something, just say it, maybe you're right!"

Prompted by Ye Xiao's words, Zhou Hao immediately said, "Brother Xiao, are you a legendary Alchemist?"

Ye Xiao said, "You're quite smart!"

"But becoming an Alchemist isn't so simple. You need at least to have both Fire Attribute and Wood Attribute in your body simultaneously. Only with both attributes is it possible to successfully perform alchemy; otherwise, successful alchemy is just not possible!" Zhou Hao said with certainty!

The Wu family, being an Ancient Martial Family, had some knowledge of Alchemists, so Zhou Hao was somewhat acquainted with the relevant information!

Ye Xiao only knew that he should be of the Fire Attribute, but whether he also had the Wood Attribute, he wasn't sure. However, since he had successfully refined the Heart Cleansing Pill, it seemed likely that he did possess the Wood Attribute as well!

At the same time, Ye Xiao thought his master must have tested him when he was young; otherwise, his master couldn't have been so sure that he could become an Alchemist!

Zhou Hao suddenly remembered the Heart Cleansing Pills and then immediately looked at Ye Xiao, saying, "Brother Xiao, were the Heart Cleansing Pills you mentioned earlier refined by you?"

Ye Xiao gave a slight smile and nodded gently!

Upon receiving confirmation from Ye Xiao, Zhou Hao was shocked, and after about ten seconds, he looked at Ye Xiao with certainty and said, "Brother Xiao, you're definitely going to be a rich man!"

Ye Xiao, of course, understood what Zhou Hao meant and said cheerfully, "I think so too, but the price of Bitter Life Fruit and Snake Desire Grass is just too high."

"Actually, that's relative. Although these two types of medicinal ingredients seem expensive, once Source Life Liquid or Qi Gathering Pills are refined, one unit of Source Life Liquid or one Pill can definitely be sold for over a hundred million Northern Federation Coins, or even more," Zhou Hao said!

Indeed, compared to the finished Pill products, these ingredients weren't much. But even if he really obtained Source Life Liquid or Qi Gathering Pills, it would be very difficult for Ye Xiao to sell them. He needed a lot of these items, not to mention selling them; it would be rare even for his own people to use them!

Ye Xiao put away the small cloth bag containing Bitter Life Fruit and Snake Desire Grass, then looked toward Zhou Hao and said, "Would you like a Heart Cleansing Pill?"

When Zhou Hao heard Ye Xiao's words, he immediately perked up and said, "Brother Xiao, you still have Heart Cleansing Pills?"

Ye Xiao said, "Do you want them?"

"Yes!" Zhou Hao immediately grinned and said, "If my meridians could be perfected, breaking through to Xuan Rank would definitely be faster!"

Ye Xiao said, "Then come with me!"
