The village beauty and me!

"Chen Huan, you..." Zhao Liping's face turned bright red upon hearing this.

She lowered her head and fidgeted with the hem of her clothes, acting coy and hesitant.

Chen Huan felt that the jokes had gone far enough.

But the next second, Zhao Liping suddenly raised her head, as if she had mustered up her courage, and said, "Okay, when?"

"Huh, when?"

"You're actually willing?" Chen Huan's expression was exaggerated.

Zhao Liping blushed even more, glared at Chen Huan, and said, "If you dare say you were just teasing me, I'll bite you to death."

Chen Huan didn't know what to say.

"A real man keeps his word and can't go back on his word," Zhao Liping pressed on relentlessly.

Chen Huan licked his lips. "It'll do, but we'll have to wait a couple of days."

Zhao Liping suddenly laughed, "Why wait a couple of days? Are you having trouble getting ready lately? Is it because you're on your period?"

"Or perhaps you've exhausted yourself fighting with someone and need to rest and recuperate?"

Now it's Zhao Liping's turn to make fun of herself.

Chen Huan raised an eyebrow. "I need to test you. I don't know if you're cut out for this. What if you can't teach me? Wouldn't that be like letting me benefit from you for nothing?"

"Well, it's getting late, you should head back now, I have some things to take care of."

"You don't need to worry about safety. Zhao Siming and his gang still need me, so they won't dare to target you again anytime soon."

Zhao Liping asked curiously, "The prescription you gave Zhao Dazhu, does it really work? You hate him so much, yet you're willing to help him?"

Chen Huan gave a wicked smile, leaned close to Zhao Liping's ear, and whispered, "If he hadn't taken the medicine I prescribed, he might have gotten better."

"Once I finish eating, I'm really useless. Aren't I a bad person?"

Zhao Liping felt a tickling sensation in her ears, followed by a unique, electric-like tingling that instantly spread throughout her body, especially to her sensitive areas.

For a moment, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed into Chen Huan's arms.

But the next second, Chen Huan stepped back, a wicked smile on his face.

"You're the worst," Zhao Liping said coquettishly, giving him a sidelong glance before turning back and looking at the first-aid kit.

Chen Huan didn't dare to delay and quickly left the village and disappeared into the woods.

Unlike his last visit, this time Chen Huan inexplicably discovered that he only needed to sniff the air to clearly distinguish the scents of all the herbs within a radius of dozens of meters.

In other words, his nose is now a magical tool for collecting herbs.

  

There's no need to run around and waste energy and time; you can achieve precise positioning and targeted action.

In no time at all, all the necessary materials had been gathered.

Chen Huan hurried back carrying a plastic bag full of medicinal herbs.

He muttered to himself, "It's a pity there aren't any valuable medicinal herbs. I'll have to venture into the deep mountains another day when I have time."

"I'd really be satisfied if I could get a ginseng that's decades old."

Back home, Li Chunlan had changed her clothes and her emotions had stabilized.

Right now, I'm discussing with Zhao Liping what to cook for dinner.

"Take one of those blackfish out of that tank, preferably one that weighs three or four pounds," Chen Huan ordered directly.

While the two women were cooking, Chen Huan planned to concoct medicine to improve his physical condition.

I've already decided what kind of medicine to make.

"Golden Elixir, that name sounds so powerful," Chen Huan muttered, as he found the medicine stove that Zhao Liping used to use for brewing medicine.

After lighting the fire, the freshly picked medicinal herbs were added one by one in proportion, in that order.

Soon, the aromas of various medicines mingled and emanated from the medicine furnace.

At first, the smell was a bit unpleasant, but it quickly became pleasantly fragrant.

Suddenly, a splashing sound came from the water tank next to us.

Chen Huan stood up and looked inside, only to find that they were the large black fish he had thrown in.

They were quite well-behaved after we brought them back, but now they seem to have been stimulated by something and are swimming desperately in the water.

And they are all facing the same direction, which is the direction of the medicine furnace.

"Could it be that the fragrance of this elixir attracted them?"

"The inheritance didn't mention that this Golden Elixir actually has such an effect." Chen Huan felt like he had opened the door to a new world.

"What are you talking to yourself about?"

"Oh, what smells so good?" Zhao Liping asked curiously as she came closer.

He bent down, stooped, and approached the medicine furnace, smelling and inhaling the aroma. Soon, an expression of rapture appeared on his face.

Zhao Liping already had a great figure, and this pose amplified her waist-to-hip ratio to an extremely alluring degree.

As if possessed, Chen Huan approached and slapped the spot.

"Oh dear!" Zhao Liping exclaimed.

She then got up, pinched Chen Huan's arm, and whispered reproachfully, "You bad boy."

"Tell me quickly, what's in this stove?"

"Mighty Golden Pills, for nourishing the body," Chen Huan replied casually.

Zhao Liping covered her mouth and laughed, "You're so irresponsible. Remember to come find me when you've recovered your health."

Then he turned and went into the kitchen.

Chen Huan watched her beautiful departing figure and muttered softly, "Don't worry, I'll definitely remember."

The golden elixir was quickly refined.

However, this wasn't something to be eaten casually. Chen Huan carefully put the pills in his pocket, intending to enjoy them late at night when all was quiet.

There were still some dregs of medicine left in the stove, which smelled delicious.

Chen Huan casually poured the dregs of the medicine into the water tank.

Sure enough, the blackfish began to scramble for the food, and in the blink of an eye, they swallowed all the dregs of the medicine.

After dinner, Chen Huan went back to her room early and closed the door.

He pulled a golden pill out of his pocket.

"This stuff can strengthen the meridians and eliminate impurities from the body. I wonder if I can handle it," Chen Huan muttered.

I then decided to try one first.

Before I could even chew it, I felt the golden pill transform into a warm, moist stream of air that flowed directly down my throat and into my body.

Before it even reaches the stomach, it quickly spreads throughout the body, especially to the muscles, bones, and meridians.

The next second, intense pain ensued.

It felt as if ten thousand steel knives were simultaneously cutting through the flesh and digging out the marrow.

"Damn, they didn't say it would be this bad," Chen Huan complained as he quickly circulated his internal energy to resist the pain.

At the same time, it also protected his heart and other vital organs immediately, lest the medicine be too strong and kill him instantly.

Fortunately, this painful ordeal did not last long.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Chen Huan was pleasantly surprised to find that not only had the pain disappeared, but his body had also undergone positive changes.

First of all, I feel that my strength has increased a lot. My originally weak physique has become a bit stronger, and I'm a size bigger overall.

The most noticeable changes come from the internal meridians.

Originally, as an ordinary mortal, some of the meridians in my body were as thin as a hair, almost completely blocked.

But now, the meridians throughout the body are at least in a state of being connected.

In this way, the efficiency is greatly increased when the true qi is circulating.

It can also store more and unclog more effectively.

To put it simply, the originally rugged and narrow country road has suddenly been transformed into a two-way single-lane cement road.

"Wow, this is incredible! Just one pill has caused such a big change. If we eat the rest, the effects will be phenomenal!"
