Dingyun Lake Villa Estate.

At this time, as more and more people chose to reside at Dingyun Lake, the villa area expanded continuously, and Ye Jingyi decided to build an estate outright.

At the entrance of the estate, there are two villas on either side, designated for the residence of the guards.

Walking into the estate, the first thing one sees is a garden. Behind the garden are three villas, meant for guests and people like Yan Hu to stay in.

Further inside the estate lies a small bamboo grove, and beyond the grove is the main villa, which serves as the residence for Ye Jingyi and others.

At the very back of the estate, there's another area that houses Elder Yao's villa and a small workshop.

Vroom... screech!

Spirit You drove the car directly to the entrance of the main villa.

"Young Master!"

Before Jiang Chen got out of the car, Yan Hu softly called out.

Jiang Chen said indifferently, "Don't bother. If they dare to act, crush them!"

Click!

The car door opened, and Jiang Chen and his companions stepped out. They simultaneously turned to glance in several directions.

Outside the estate's villas, six hidden spots radiated faint, concealed auras.

"You're back!"

A surprised and joyful voice rang out. From the balcony on the second floor of the main villa, a graceful figure jumped down and threw herself into Jiang Chen's arms.

Jiang Chen's face lit up with a smile as he embraced her, teasingly saying, "Who's this? Where's the dignified and elegant Jing Yi from my family? Are you Yu Wan pretending to be her?"

Ye Jingyi's face turned red as she glared at Jiang Chen and scrutinized him from head to toe.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, pulling Ye Jingyi tightly into his arms and speaking softly, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Mm!"

Ye Jingyi nodded slightly, her voice tinged with a trace of choking emotion.

Ever since the outbreak at Fuyuan Mountain, Ye Jingyi had intuitively felt that it was connected to Jiang Chen. She had repeatedly called Jiang Chen, Yan Hu, and others, and the answers she received verified her suspicions.

For the past few days, Ye Jingyi had been constantly worried about whether Jiang Chen would be safe. Now that she saw him return unharmed, the longing and anxiety in her heart completely overwhelmed her, turning into tears that streamed down her face.

Seeing this, Yan Hu and the others exchanged glances. Yan Hu gestured to the group, leading them toward the villas in the middle of the estate.

Jiang Chen and Ye Jingyi embraced for a long time. Only when Ye Jingyi had cried herself dry did she finally wipe her tears and move out of Jiang Chen's arms.

"Elder Yao has been looking for you several times. You... change your clothes and go see him later!"

Ye Jingyi noticed the damp mark on Jiang Chen's shoulder, left by her own tears, and spoke with a hint of embarrassment.

Jiang Chen gave a gentle smile, reached out to touch Ye Jingyi's hair, and said apologetically, "Jing Yi, I'm sorry for making you worry about me. I..."

Ye Jingyi raised her hand to cover Jiang Chen's mouth, her face blossoming into a blissful smile. "It's okay for us to worry because there's someone worth our worry working tirelessly for our future!"

A wave of warmth surged through Jiang Chen's heart, and he could not help but pull Ye Jingyi into another embrace, lowering his head to deeply kiss her on the lips!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Just as the two kissed, the concealed auras outside the villa suddenly revealed themselves, only to disappear swiftly after.

Ye Jingyi opened her eyes in surprise, noticing that Jiang Chen remained completely unmoved by the sudden appearance of the auras. She closed her eyes again, savoring this rare moment of tranquility and sweetness.

In the small workshop at the back of the estate.

After spending some intimate time with Ye Jingyi and changing his clothes, Jiang Chen arrived at the workshop to find Elder Yao.

"Young Jiang, these are the formulas. Have a look!"

Elder Yao, looking fatigued, handed a stack of documents to Jiang Chen, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on a piece of medicine currently being synthesized by the pharmaceutical equipment.

Jiang Chen took the documents and flipped through them quickly, his eyes lighting up. He exclaimed excitedly, "Elder Yao, following these formulas, we can sell the medicine at an affordable price to the public!"

"I had Ling'er calculate everything; all the data is listed here. You and Jing Yi can decide on the pricing of the medicine," Medicine Saint said with a slight nod.

Click!

On the equipment's conveyor belt, a pill was delivered to the packaging station.

Elder Yao picked up the pill, sniffed it, and then handed it to Jiang Chen. "This was made with the cheapest ingredients, combined with what you mentioned—those that can strengthen the body, remove spots, and all that—creating this pill."

Jiang Chen nodded and took the pill, immediately throwing it into his mouth.

Crunch! Crunch!

He chewed and swallowed it dry, then closed his eyes to feel its effects.

Soon, Jiang Chen nodded lightly and remarked, "It's good. With this level of efficacy, in about two months' time, antibodies against mutant gene potions should form in the human body. Plus, its detoxifying and beautifying benefits remain uncompromised. Elder Yao, you truly deserve your reputation as Flame Dragon's foremost pharmacist!"

As he spoke, Jiang Chen smiled and gave Medicine Saint a thumbs-up.

Exhale!

"Alright! It's effective, so that's good!"

Medicine Saint let out a breath of relief, responding softly while massaging his brow, "I'm going to rest for a while. The remaining tasks are yours to handle. I already gave Jing Yi the procedure for manufacturing the medicine yesterday. You two handle it—this old man needs a good few days of rest!"

"Elder Yao, thank you for all your hard work!"

Watching Medicine Saint's weary figure, Jiang Chen was overcome with a deep sense of gratitude.

Medicine Saint could have continued living in retirement, but due to encountering Jiang Chen, he stepped out of his pastoral life and came here. Ever since his arrival, Medicine Saint had worked tirelessly without complaint.

Although Jiang Chen knew that Medicine Saint must have something he needed help with, this bond of friendship had transcended any transactional relationship, and Jiang Chen did not wish to ask directly.

Jiang Chen understood that if Medicine Saint ever needed his assistance, he would not hesitate to ask.

Watching Medicine Saint's figure disappear from the workshop, Jiang Chen silently vowed to himself that whatever Medicine Saint required of him, he would fulfill the task even at the cost of his own life!

This wasn't about transactions or repayment—it was about a bond of friendship profound enough for Jiang Chen to protect with his very existence!

Flipping through the documents in his hand once again, Jiang Chen stepped out of the workshop.

In the main villa's living room, Jiang Chen held Ye Jingyi in his arms as they sat on the sofa.

"Jiang Chen, was Medicine Saint successful? He already gave me the procedure!"

Ye Jingyi shifted slightly, finding a more comfortable position to nestle against Jiang Chen, and spoke softly.

Jiang Chen nodded gently, "Yes, the cheapest medicine can now be produced. Once we gather enough supplies, we can bring the product to market!"

"We've already advertised for this medicine, so it can go on sale anytime. However, I have a concern," Ye Jingyi said quietly.

Jiang Chen tilted his head slightly, looking at Ye Jingyi with curiosity. "What concern?"

Ye Jingyi furrowed her brow slightly. Her lips parted as she spoke:

"I'm worried about the formula being leaked!"
