"How does that look anything like a carrot?"

"What looks like a carrot? That is a carrot!"

"Ah? This, this, this... How can Old Chen not even distinguish between a carrot and ginseng?"

"Isn't he the Medicine King of Dingjing? This... is nothing but an empty title!"

Everyone at the doorway had come to buy medicine and had at least some discerning ability. As the supposed ginseng was split open, they all recognized that it was nothing more than a carrot inside!

"Old Chen, I told you, with today's level of craftsmanship, if you still rely solely on appearance to identify herbs, then your title of Medicine King of Dingjing is truly undeserved!" Jiang Chen reproached Chen Peiru sternly and stepped out of the pharmacy.

This time, Chen Peiru didn't stop him, but instead foolishly stared at the two pieces of carrot with roots attached that Jiang Chen had thrown on the ground, completely dumbfounded.

Everything is ruined, utterly ruined!

His reputation was truly destroyed now.

Chen Peiru regretted deeply. Originally, Jiang Chen had merely hinted that it was a fake; maybe people would have thought the age was insufficient, but under his own pressure, such a fact was revealed, fundamentally negating his own standard of herb identification!

"Boss, the Vermillion Fruit, that's the Purple Flame Vermilion Fruit, we can't let him go!" Lin Hui saw Chen Peiru standing there dumbly and hurried to his side, speaking urgently.

Chen Peiru's body trembled, and he recovered his senses. Turning his head, he saw Jiang Chen had already left the pharmacy. He quickly took out his cellphone and made a reverent call: "Miss Fang, I've found the medicine that can delay the old master's illness, but..."

...

After leaving Rejuvenation Hall, Jiang Chen visited several reputable old pharmacies and found some of the medicines he needed. Seeing that he had nearly everything, he walked towards where he had parked his car.

Hm?

When he arrived at the parking lot of the herbal medicine market where he had parked, Jiang Chen found several people waiting in front of his car, one of whom was the owner of Rejuvenation Hall, Chen Peiru. But Chen Peiru wasn't standing in the central position; at the center was a woman in her twenties, with several men in black circling around her.

"Miss Fang, it's him!" When Chen Peiru saw Jiang Chen, he said to the woman beside him.

The woman stepped forward, staring straight at Jiang Chen with an arrogant tone: "Leave the Purple Flame Vermilion Fruit behind."

Jiang Chen looked at her coldly: "Dream on."

"Hmph."

The woman snorted coldly: "You're just looking to make more money, aren't you? Just name your price, however much you want."

Jiang Chen gave a faint smile: "However much I want?"

"Yes."

The woman held her head high, looking down on Jiang Chen with disdain. He was indeed just another money-grubber.

"Alright."

Jiang Chen nodded and slowly raised his hand, palm up.

"Fifty million?" The woman frowned but still nodded: "Okay..."

"No, you're mistaken, it's not fifty million."

Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile and raised his hand again: "It's fifty billion!"

"..."

In an instant, there was dead silence on the other side.

Everyone was so shocked they almost choked!

The woman's face flushed with anger, her eyes wide with rage. She clenched her teeth and furiously glared at Jiang Chen, word by word she said:

"You! Are! Playing! Me!"

"Right, I am playing you." Jiang Chen smiled coldly: "The Purple Flame Vermilion Fruit is useful to me, I won't sell it."

"You little brat!" The woman cursed furiously: "Today you'll sell it whether you want to or not!"

"Attack!" the woman commanded with a wave of her hand.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

No sooner had the woman's words fallen than several men in black instantly charged towards Jiang Chen.

A cold gleam flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes as he met the men head-on.

"Miss Fang, please be careful not to take a life," Chen Peiru said warily from the side.

"Don't worry, I won't kill him," Miss Fang sneered dismissively, eyeing Jiang Chen with contempt. "But for his impudence, I must give him a lesson he'll never forget in his lifetime..."

But before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly paused, her eyes widening in shock.

"Impossible!"

Thud thud thud!

At that moment, Jiang Chen had already plunged into the midst of the men in black, unleashing a flurry of kicks. After several muffled thuds, the men were sent flying back, tumbling to the ground right at the woman's feet.

Both Miss Fang and Chen Peiru were stunned.

They had not expected such an outcome.

It took a while before Miss Fang snapped out of her daze, angrily nodding her head, "Hmph! So you've got some skills after all. No wonder you were able to tell that the girl selling medicine is a Profound Martial Artist. She's a Profound Martial Artist, but I wonder if you are!"

With that, the woman charged toward Jiang Chen.

Oh? A Royal Realm Martial Artist?

Jiang Chen was mildly surprised and a sly smile crossed his lips. So this is your confidence? It seems you were afraid to face Ling'er directly and decided to come for me instead. But do you really see me as an easy target?

Slap!

With a crisp sound, Jiang Chen effortlessly caught the woman's incoming punch with one hand, swirling her momentum to pull her into his embrace, his arm looping around her neck.

"You... let go of me!" the woman's complexion changed as she glared furiously at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen grinned, "Let go of you? So you can continue to attack me?"

"You... you're asking for death!" A vicious glint flashed in the woman's eyes, and a bloodthirsty aura emanated from her.

Jiang Chen frowned slightly and spoke gravely, "I thought you were just a little-miss with a temper, but who would have guessed you'd be so quick to resort to killing? And you've even got blood on your hands!"

"You... how do you know?" The woman was taken aback for a moment, then sneered, "Good that you know. Now release me immediately, and hand over the Purple Flame Vermilion Fruit obediently, or else, I'll take the lives of your entire family!"

"You're the one courting death!" Jiang Chen instantly became enraged, his arm tightening around her neck while his other hand pressed on the woman's waist, exerting force.

Whoosh!

The woman's head was restrained by Jiang Chen, her body lifting off the ground!

Thump!

Jiang Chen brutally kicked the woman on her buttocks, releasing the arm that was pinning her and sending her flying into the air.

"Ah! Bastard! I'll kill you!" As the woman flew through the air, she screamed loudly.

Thump!

Jiang Chen's eyes turned cold, and when the woman descended, he kicked her on the buttocks once more, sending her flying again!

"Aah… I will kill your entire family!" The woman was going mad. She couldn't understand why, after being kicked by Jiang Chen, she was unable to muster any strength at all. Moreover, being struck in that spot made her feel a certain shameful sensation, her face burning hot with fury and humiliation as she yelled loudly.

"You still dare to say that!" Jiang Chen leaped up, catching the falling woman, his hand bracing against her buttocks, and began spinning her around like a top.

"You... stop! Stop! I'm dizzy! Ah..."

The woman's face turned to panic, feeling the firm and powerful grip on her buttocks., her cheeks flushed as if they were engorged with blood.
