As soon as Lin Chen's feet touched the ground, he heard a sharp evil wind attacking from behind.

"Damn! That's fast." Lin Chen tiptoed, his body shooting backward.

"Whoosh!"

A jade fist swung out, almost brushing Lin Chen's cheek.

Lin Chen stepped back a few paces and saw the person in front of him, couldn't help but smile bitterly—it was actually Zhao Xiaohua.

This guy must've thought he was a bad person after seeing his disguise and therefore attacked.

But Lin Chen felt a warmth in his heart; so this girl had been protecting him all this time.

After her punch missed, Zhao Xiaohua paused for a moment, but then she withdrew her fist.

"You really made yourself look ugly with that disguise," Zhao Xiaohua said indifferently after glancing at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen felt frustrated; he had intended to show off and tease her, but she saw through his disguise at a glance. There went his plan.

"Xiaohua, you've been protecting me this whole time!" Lin Chen said, smiling happily.

"You misunderstood, I was just passing by," Zhao Xiaohua said before turning around and walking away.

Lin Chen's lips curved up slightly, watching the lovely figure in the sunlight, "Thank you, Xiaohua."

Zhao Xiaohua's pace halted for a moment, then she quickened her steps and soon disappeared from Lin Chen's view.

Lin Chen hailed a taxi and headed straight for the Peach Garden Tower in Capital City.

Lin Chen had already asked Tan Long about it yesterday; Peach Garden Tower was the headquarters of the Capital City Pharmacist Guild and the place where superpowered martial artists bought Spiritual Medicine.

The power controlling Peach Garden Tower wasn't a family but a mysterious force—the Medicine Sect.

As one of the eight great powers, the Medicine Sect's status in the superpowered community was paramount.

Because every superpowered martial artist wanted to enhance their strength as quickly as possible, and apart from their own cultivation, the boost from medicinal drugs was a major aid.

Therefore, in the world of superpowered individuals, there existed a special kind of superpowered practitioner—Pharmacists.

Most of them had a Wood attribute, a natural sensitivity to medicinal drugs. Many were famous doctors sitting in hospitals, and each of them had another identity, superpowered pharmacists.

In history, there have been many superpowered pharmacists like Sun Simiao, Bian Que, and Hua Tuo. Their medical talents were in part because they were superpowered pharmacists.

As for the Peach Garden Group, being the largest traditional Chinese medicine enterprise in Huaxia, they also had another role—providing cultivators with medicinal drugs.

The car soon arrived at the base of the towering skyscraper of the Peach Garden Group, and Lin Chen got out, looking up.

This skyscraper had a hundred floors and was one of the landmark buildings in Capital City. The grandeur of this building was a testament to the formidable strength of the Peach Garden Group.

The first and second floors were open to the public, selling everyday medicines and some traditional Chinese medicine. But the third floor and above were reserved for superpowered individuals only.

As soon as Lin Chen reached the third floor, he was stopped by two security guards.

Although they were security guards, both were Golden Core experts.

In an average family, such experts would have been venerated, but here they were mere security guards, which spoke volumes about the might of the Peach Garden Group.

"Sir, do you have our group's VIP card?" asked one of the skinny security guards.

Lin Chen shook his head, "I'm here to sell medicine."

"Sell medicine?" Upon hearing Lin Chen's response, both security guards laughed.

```

"Old man, have you got water in your brain? Everyone here comes to buy medicine, and here you are trying to sell it to the Taoyuan Group? I think you've taken the wrong medicine," two guards said mocking Lin Chen.

Actually, it was no wonder that the two guards looked down on Lin Chen, for pharmacists held a very prestigious position in China. Most pharmacists were honored guests of various families or power groups; it was inconceivable for them to come here to sell medicine on their own accord.

Lin Chen simply smiled, "I hope you can pass on a message, just say that I have Spiritual Liquid for sale."

Clunk!

Hearing Lin Chen's words, both men were stunned.

Spiritual Liquid was something both guards had heard of; it was a five-star grade medicine, and only a five-star pharmacist could make such a medicine. But could this plainly dressed old man be the legendary five-star pharmacist?

By that time, the mocking smile on the faces of the guards had disappeared. One of them hurriedly said with an apologetic smile, "Please take a seat and wait for a moment, sir. I'll pass on your message right away."

It wasn't long before the guard came out smiling, "Please come this way, sir."

Following the guard's lead, Lin Chen arrived at the door of an office, where the guard respectfully knocked and heard a lazy voice from inside, "Come in."

The guard pushed open the door and cheerfully said, "Director Mu, this is the old gentleman who said he wishes to sell Spiritual Liquid."

Mu Wenbai looked up disdainfully at Lin Chen and said indifferently, "Come in!"

Lin Chen frowned slightly at Mu Wenbai's arrogant attitude, but since he was already here, he had no reason to turn around and leave.

The guard who had been standing at the door didn't leave but instead watched Lin Chen with a grin, which made the atmosphere somewhat eerie.

Mu Wenbai sat with his legs propped on the desk and asked coldly, "So, it's you who wants to sell Spiritual Liquid?"

"Indeed," Lin Chen nodded.

"Oh, let me give you a heads-up," Mu Wenbai said mockingly as he watched Lin Chen. "The rules here are simple: if it's genuine, we'll naturally buy it, but if it's fake, the one selling the medicine will get a broken leg before leaving."

At that moment, Lin Chen finally understood why the guard hadn't left—he was there waiting to break his leg.

Lin Chen nodded and said, "Don't worry, my medicine is truly worth its price."

As he spoke, Lin Chen placed the box in his hand on the table.

Mu Wenbai was momentarily taken aback, "You're using this box for the Spiritual Liquid?"

The box was just a cardboard box Lin Chen had gotten from an online purchase a few days ago, and thanks to rough shipping, it was already somewhat deformed, looking both dirty and battered.

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, is there a problem?"

Mu Wenbai snorted coldly, opened the box, and was surprised to see twenty bottles inside, "Which one is the Spiritual Liquid?"

"All of them," Lin Chen answered calmly.

"What?" Upon hearing Lin Chen's response, Mu Wenbai's expression finally darkened.

"At your age, you dare come to the Taoyuan Group to commit fraud? Twenty bottles of Spiritual Liquid? Do you think you're selling bottled water? It's fortunate to even have one bottle of this kind of Spiritual Liquid in a year. You claim to have refined twenty bottles? What a joke," Mu Wenbai said coldly.

"Whether it is or isn't, one look will tell," Lin Chen replied patiently.

Mu Wenbai snorted and opened one of the bottles, sniffed it, looked at it, then capped it and suddenly threw it towards the wall.

God dammit, Lin Chen's face changed as he suddenly appeared at the corner of the wall like lightning, snatching the bottle out of the air with a swift hand.

"What is the meaning of this?" Lin Chen asked coldly, a fiery anger burning in his eyes.

Mu Wenbai sneered, "What do you think? This is clearly a fake. Guard, break one of his legs for me."

"Yes, Director Mu," the guard said with a brutal smile, appearing before Lin Chen like lightning and swinging his right leg to land a heavy kick on Lin Chen's leg.
