Chapter 106: Chapter 70 [More Money, Greater Risk] (8600 words)_4

After getting out of the car, she gently pushed her glasses up her nose and then walked quickly to Chen Yan’s side, lowering her head and respectfully calling out, "Senior!"

Chen Yan chuckled inwardly but maintained a cold expression on his face, "What are you here for? Still not satisfied with what happened last time?"

"I wouldn’t dare," Chu Keqing’s tone was evidently submissive. "The New Year is approaching, so I... I came to pay my respects to Senior Chen and bring some New Year’s gifts."

As she spoke, Chu Keqing glanced at the items in Chen Yan’s hand.

A packet of herbal medicine?

This wasn’t unusual; for a high master of mystical techniques, preparing some medicinal herbs for personal health wasn’t unusual—Chu Keqing herself was knowledgeable in pharmacology with a few secret formulas. The reputation of her "Elder Zi" was largely built on her medical skills.

But seeing the pharmacy label on the herbal package was surprising... She had never heard of such a high master going to a chain pharmacy for medicine?

It was like how Principal Wang’s father wanted to sell a building and listed it on Beike’s website.

"Senior... did you go get medicine?" Chu Keqing asked cautiously.

Chen Yan glanced at the woman without responding.

Chu Keqing took a deep breath, "No disrespect intended, I just wanted to say... if Senior needs any medicinal herbs, I have a small pharmacy. It’s not large, but all the herbs are of the highest quality. If Senior requires anything, I would be honored to provide it."

She wasn’t lying, she did have a small pharmacy, though it rarely opened to the public. It had a modest stock but included many rare herbs.

The pharmacy was primarily for her connections to the powerful and wealthy; many of her clients were prominent figures seeking her for medical help.

Chen Yan looked at the woman and then deliberately turned his gaze away, not daring to look longer.

Currently, his vital energy was extraordinarily abundant, and this woman was naturally alluring. In his current state, she was like a ripe, luscious peach placed before someone who hadn’t eaten in three days!

If he stared at her too long, Mr. Chen the Benefactor might be unable to maintain his composure.

He coughed and spoke slowly, "Since you’re not here to make trouble, you’re a guest. Come in and have a seat."

Saying this, he saw the look of joy on Chu Keqing’s face and pulled a crumpled prescription from his pocket, tossing it to her.

"Since you’re so kind to bring medicine, get me twenty doses according to this prescription."

"Of course! Please rest assured, Senior, I will handle it!"

Chu Keqing was even more delighted, taking the prescription and unfolding it to read.

At first glance, she was impressed by the beautiful calligraphy: truly the work of a high master, such excellent penmanship, a rare sight nowadays!

But as she read the prescription... understanding its medical content, she couldn’t help but feel a bit awkward, her pretty face blushing.

She folded the prescription silently and put it in her bag, thinking: This must be a formula for "clearing heat" and "reducing desire"... isn’t this senior already ninety-one years old?

Indeed, this senior appears rejuvenated, looking youthful and in the prime of his life. Still... this dosage is quite strong.

Just how much "heat" is there?

Suppressing her speculations, she followed Chen Yan into the house, showing no trace of her thoughts on her face.

Once the door was open, she left her assistant behind to bring in the gifts, and followed Chen Yan into the yard.

As soon as she stepped into the yard, Chu Keqing’s face changed dramatically!

(This Primordial Qi?!)

Having practiced cultivation for many years, Chu Keqing was well-acquainted with Primordial Qi. She was on par with Chen Yan in this realm and could naturally sense the Primordial Qi around them.

Entering the yard, she immediately felt the concentration of Primordial Qi was at least three times higher than outside!

Such rich Primordial Qi—Chu Keqing had traveled extensively and visited renowned mountains and rivers, including those famous for their Grotto Heaven Blessed Lands, but had never seen such density of Primordial Qi!

Moreover, Chu Keqing sensed some force within the yard, like a siphon effect, pulling endless Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi from all directions into this yard.

Once drawn in, the Primordial Qi gathered here, not dispersing, as if restrained by an invisible power.

(This is akin to Immortal Divine Techniques!)

Chu Keqing was stunned, following behind Chen Yan with her breath hastening.

Noticing her heavy breathing, Chen Yan turned to her, "What’s wrong?"

Lowering her head respectfully, Chu Keqing admitted, "I lost my composure... The Primordial Qi permeating your residence is astonishing, truly overwhelming."

"A simple array," Chen Yan acknowledged she could sense the Qi changes, and replied indifferently, "Elder Zi is renowned in Jinling Prefecture, surely you’ve seen such arrays?"

Chu Keqing: "..."

She had seen arrays before—but nothing like this, even the casting of this senior’s Mystical Techniques was unprecedented!

Chu Keqing wasn’t unfamiliar with arrays; mystical practitioners usually knew basic Feng Shui Arrays at best.
