CHAPTER 607: CHAPTER 605: WILD HERBS
The young man just now had many tattoos on his arms, making it clear he wasn’t a good bird, probably someone from the underworld.
So, Chen Tianlong had clearly offended someone earlier, and even went as far as to humiliate them like this. If security hadn’t come to stop it, something major might have happened.
Jiang Yufan is an ordinary person, so she naturally couldn’t see Chen Tianlong’s strength, and she thought Chen Tianlong was just a guy who knows a bit of martial arts, a young man who helps when he sees injustice.
However, at this moment, Jiang Yufan felt a bit frustrated. How could Chen Tianlong have no feelings for her at all? The guy who was fighting just now was still trying to flirt with her, but this guy, so close to the water, seems completely indifferent?
"Eh? What’s wrong with me, having this kind of thought? We’ve just met, how can I be so obsessed?" Jiang Yufan couldn’t help but think to herself.
But she couldn’t resist asking Chen Tianlong, "Hey... Chen Tianlong, what do you do for a living, why are you going to Yunfu during the New Year?"
"Oh, I’m going to collect some drug ingredients."
Chen Tianlong wasn’t worried about others knowing, since to others, Black Gastrodia was just some ordinary mountain herbs, and they absolutely wouldn’t realize its importance.
"Oh? Mountain herbs? Well... it seems my grandmother knows a lot about them. How about I take you to ask her; maybe she has the herbs you need."
When Jiang Yufan heard Chen Tianlong mention the herbs, she thought of her grandmother, who has been living in seclusion in the mountains for years, specializing in the study of Gu Skill and Pharmacology, and is proficient in various herbs and even has her own herb garden.
The entire herb garden is at most three acres, planted with various mountain herbs, many of which are wild, and some are planted by her.
Among them, Black Gastrodia is one of them.
Li Tianyou and Chen Tianlong have recently developed a new medicine, which is low-cost, effective, similar to Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, but less potent.
This was intentional on their part, because if it was too effective, it would inevitably attract imitation from peers as it went into mass production. So, Chen Tianlong found a method by substituting one important ingredient with Black Gastrodia, which is abundant in the Yunfu area yet little known.
Previously, Chen Tianlong searched online, and it was many years ago. Back then, when forests hadn’t been cut down or polluted, Black Gastrodia could be said to be everywhere, but then a natural disaster burned all the area within a hundred miles of forest herbs to ashes.
After the disaster, this place became a wasteland, though it grew many weeds, the wild herbs that survived back then were scarce. It was precisely due to this disaster that Black Gastrodia disappeared here.
After many days of searching, Jiang Yufan’s grandmother, Wan Qi, finally found Black Gastrodia seedlings behind a cave and transplanted them outside the cave.
A year later, there was half an acre of Black Gastrodia here, looking at what used to be wild medicinal herbs everywhere, Wan Qi felt very delighted.
Perhaps besides Chen Tianlong and Li Tianyou, only she knows the significance of Black Gastrodia, although it’s merely a drug ingredient, without it, the medicine wouldn’t be complete.
"Haha, no need, I know where to find it."
Chen Tianlong found them online, and Black Gastrodia is seen everywhere, especially in that L Town, other places may be scarce.
This herb planting wasn’t understood for reasons but was grown just in this place, only in this town, other places practically don’t exist.
"Oh, alright then, I’ll leave you a phone number, call my mobile when you need it."
Jiang Yufan was clearly a cheerful girl, without waiting for Chen Tianlong to respond, she said, "Chen Tianlong, quickly get out your phone, I’ll store the number for you, so you won’t forget then."
Chen Tianlong gave a wry smile, but seeing Jiang Yufan so enthusiastic, he couldn’t let her go cold.
So, he took out the phone from his pocket, now preparations for takeoff were underway, hence, Chen Tianlong switched his phone to airplane mode, and after opening it, handed it directly to Jiang Yufan.
Jiang Yufan wasn’t polite either, she took the phone and started to enter the number, and after two minutes, with a slight smile, she handed the phone back to Chen Tianlong and then closed her eyes to sleep.
On the side, Wang Tao watched the interaction between Chen Tianlong and Jiang Yufan, feeling somewhat envious and thought, "The same men, why do they receive such different treatment? People treat with cold words, yet the girl loves deeply, while my enthusiasm results in ignoring, ah, heavens, you’re truly unfair."
So, the plane took off smoothly, without any disturbances during the flight.
No further conversation occurred, around five in the afternoon, Chen Tianlong and Jiang Yufan got off the plane together. But they hadn’t walked far when a voice shouted from behind, "Kid, if you’re tough don’t walk so fast, wait for me to come over and beat you."
Chen Tianlong frowned, he needed to rush to L Town now, and wasn’t in the mood for nonsense with these people, so he decided not to heed the voice behind.
Seeing Chen Tianlong ignoring it, Jiang Yufan also ignored it, following beside Chen Tianlong as they walked out of the airport together. However, just because they ignored Wang Tao doesn’t mean that Wang Tao would ignore them.
But this was still inside the airport, with many police officers and security guards, not convenient for a fight.
Yet the conflict with Chen Tianlong on the plane left Wang Tao unable to swallow his rage, so he must retaliate.
He gave a signal to a few minions beside him, and then six people hurriedly chased after them, attempting to surround Chen Tianlong after they exited the station. Otherwise, it would be difficult to pursue after he gets into a car.
Their actions were already within Chen Tianlong’s sight, these people’s skills weren’t impressive, three were practitioners, but only the dark-skinned man was a Yellow Dao two-star, the other two were Yellow Dao one-star, and the remaining three were ordinary martial artists.
Understanding the enemy’s situation, Chen Tianlong felt reassured, but he didn’t want to cause trouble in Yunfu upon arrival either.
"Yufan, let’s hurry up, those few seem to be catching up."
Chen Tianlong stepped forward, helped Jiang Yufan with her suitcase, and quickly walked ahead, wishing to get away quickly to avoid trouble.
"Ah? Alright."
Hearing Chen Tianlong’s words, Jiang Yufan hurriedly looked back, indeed, the man was speeding up, aiming to catch up with them.
With one hand holding the suitcase, Chen Tianlong grabbed Jiang Yufan’s hand with the other, an icy yet slightly electrifying sensation suddenly filled Jiang Yufan’s entire being, leaving her somewhat stunned.
However, Chen Tianlong didn’t notice Jiang Yufan’s reaction at this moment, as he was focused on fleeing.
Feeling annoyed, Chen Tianlong found that whenever someone sought trouble, he always had to protect someone, and now, it’s clear Jiang Yufan also needed his protection.
Outside the airport, not a single taxi was visible, Chen Tianlong felt frustrated, could it be too many people just left, making them all caught? Somehow it doesn’t make sense, though.
