Chapter 146: Ye Chen Wants to Refine Medicine!

After returning home, Ye Chen didn't think about the matter with Dong Ruolin anymore.

However, after he calmed his mind, he suddenly remembered that he had promised medicine to Shi Tianqi and the Song family, which he still hadn't refined.

To them, this medicine was simply the most magical medicinal material in the world.

But to Ye Chen, this kind of medicine was just one of the most ordinary types of medicinal materials in the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra."

If he could refine those more powerful medicines from the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra," their efficacy could even bring the dead back to life, or perhaps even grant immortality?

However, those high-level medicines required many rare treasures he had never even heard of. What was even more critical was that many also required Qi as a catalyst for refinement. He had only just entered the door and still had a long way to go, so he could only take it one step at a time.

The reason he was willing to refine medicine for them was also because Ye Chen wanted to take the opportunity to accumulate more experience in alchemy.

However, he didn't have the medicinal materials on hand. Since he was refining medicine for the Song family, he naturally had to let the Song family help solve this problem, so he called Song Wanting directly.

Recently, Song Wanting had been thinking about how to get more opportunities to interact with Ye Chen.

Her grandfather said that if any family could recruit a dragon-like son-in-law like Ye Chen, the family would surely gain a tremendous boost. And a master like Ye Chen being in a low-class family like the Xiao family was simply a waste of talent.

Therefore, the best way was to be able to combine strengths.

Only a family worthy of being called a dragon deserved to have a dragon-like son-in-law.

How could a dragon-like son-in-law marry into a nest of snakes and rats?

The more she thought this way, the stronger her affection for Ye Chen became, and there was even a hint of expectation hidden within.

She really wanted to call Ye Chen more, invite him out to meet more often, and create more opportunities for contact. However, she was also afraid that she would be too obvious and be seen through by Ye Chen.

Song Wanting was proud her whole life. It could be said that she was the most eye-catching princess in all of Jin Ling. Compared to her, the daughters of other families were simply not worth mentioning. Therefore, a woman like her was also someone the men of Jin Ling could not touch.

From birth until now, Song Wanting had never been moved by any man, but Ye Chen was the first.

Yet, he happened to be a married man, a son-in-law living in his wife's house.

Song Wanting also felt this was somewhat ironic, and she had been feeling indecisive about how to develop things with Ye Chen.

Just when her mind was constantly filled with Ye Chen, she received a call from him.

At that moment, her girlish heart was filled with excited leaps.

When she answered the phone, her voice even trembled slightly as she asked, "Master Ye, how do you have time to call me?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "Miss Song, I am preparing to start refining medicine tomorrow, but I need some medicinal materials. Please help me resolve this, and then send them over."

Hearing that Ye Chen was finally going to refine medicine, Song Wanting was instantly excited.

The Song family had been waiting for Ye Chen's divine medicine, but Ye Chen had never followed up. Everyone was anxious, but no one was embarrassed to urge Ye Chen. After all, Ye Chen was giving it to them, and being willing to give it to them was already giving them a lot of face. How could they dare to urge him?

Therefore, Song Wanting hurriedly said, "Master Ye, please rest assured. Give me a list of the medicinal materials, and I will immediately find the highest quality ones and send them to you!"

"Very good." Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "Remember to prepare a larger quantity; I have other uses for them myself."

Ye Chen didn't lack the money to buy medicinal materials, but he needed a reliable channel. Good medicinal materials were like good antiques and cultural relics; they were hard to come by. In such matters, some things couldn't be solved simply by having money; having the right connections was what mattered.

His foundation in Jin Ling was still shallow, so naturally, he wasn't as powerful as the Song family. They had been deeply rooted in Jin Ling for over a hundred years, and their various connections were very strong.

Song Wanting hung up the phone and received the list of medicinal materials sent by Ye Chen, so she immediately called Qin Gang of the Qin family.

Although the Qin family wasn't as powerful as the Song family, the Qin family's main business was antiques, cultural relics, and Chinese herbal medicines.

Even Ye Chen didn't know that Qin Gang was actually the largest supplier of medicinal materials in the entire Jiangnan region.

This was mainly because Qin Gang's medicinal material business usually didn't deal with private individuals; they supplied directly to major Chinese medicine factories and chain pharmacies, only wholesaling, not retailing.

Song Wanting read Ye Chen's list over the phone and then asked, "Mr. Qin, I wonder if you can help me get these medicinal materials? I want the highest quality ones, and the quantity needs to be large!"

Upon hearing that Song Wanting wanted these medicinal materials, Qin Gang instantly realized something and hurriedly asked, "Miss Song, I dare to ask, are these medicinal materials prepared for Master Ye Chen?"

"Yes." Song Wanting's relationship with Qin Gang was considered quite good, so she didn't hide it and said directly, "Mr. Qin should have heard that Master Ye saved my grandfather. He showed mercy a few days ago and wanted to give my family some divine medicine, so I am preparing medicinal materials for Master Ye."

Qin Gang immediately said, "Miss Song, please rest assured. I will prepare these medicinal materials, and I will send them directly to Master Ye when the time comes."

Song Wanting said, "Mr. Qin, it might not be appropriate for you to go and deliver them, right?"

Qin Gang said seriously, "Miss Song, you and I are friends, so I won't say those empty words to you. I also want to dare to ask Master Ye for a divine medicine to prepare for a rainy day. It just so happens that I can take the opportunity of delivering the medicinal materials to ask Master Ye."

Song Wanting thought about it. Even if she didn't let Qin Gang deliver the medicinal materials, if Qin Gang wanted to ask Ye Chen for medicine, he would still find him. So, she might as well do him a favor and let him take the opportunity of delivering the medicine to Ye Chen to ask him.

Therefore, she smiled and said, "I naturally have no opinion on this, but Mr. Qin must prepare these medicinal materials that Master Ye wants well. You must not make any mistakes!"

Qin Gang hurriedly guaranteed, "Miss Song, please rest assured. How could I possibly fool Master Ye!"

Only then did Song Wanting smile and say, "That's fine, go prepare them, and send them to Master Ye once they are ready."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Gang was unable to contain his excitement.

His daughter, the beautiful, hot-tempered little chili pepper Qin Aoxue, saw her father rubbing his hands in excitement and couldn't help but ask, "Dad, what are you so excited about by yourself?"

Qin Gang laughed loudly, "There's a great piece of good news!"

Qin Aoxue asked in surprise, "What great good news?"

"It's Master Ye!" Qin Gang was so excited he was incoherent.

Qin Aoxue's heart skipped a beat. Master Ye?! That Master Ye with the miraculous skills?

She couldn't help but ask shyly, "Dad, Master Ye... what happened to him?"

Qin Gang blurted out, "Master Ye is going to refine divine medicine! Miss Song asked me to help Master Ye prepare medicinal materials. When the time comes, I'm also planning to ask Master Ye for a divine medicine!" ===== CHAPTER 147 =====
