Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me

Mo Laowu glanced at Lu Chuan and asked, "What medicine?"

Lu Chuan immediately took out a bottle of Wound Healing Ointment, poured a bit onto his hand, and said, "This medicine is called Wound Healing Ointment. Whether it's a knife wound or sword injury, or even bruises from falls, it can treat them all. The effects are excellent. Since it's a new product, each bottle is only ten thousand yuan."

Mo Laowu looked at the dark, sticky substance on Lu Chuan's hand, his brows slightly furrowed. "This is medicine? Are you sure you're not just trying to swindle me?"

The apprentice hurried over to Lu Chuan's side, pulled him back, and said, "Have you gone mad? Haven't you heard of Mo Laowu's reputation? You dare to peddle your shoddy medicine to him and charge so much for it? Do you have a death wish?"

Then he turned to Mo Laowu with an apologetic smile, "Fifth Master, this guy has gone crazy from making medicine, please don't take it personally."

Mo Laowu snorted coldly, "Let him go."

The apprentice's expression froze, and, not daring to disobey Mo Laowu's order, he released Lu Chuan, giving him a look of speechless sympathy.

Mo Laowu looked at Lu Chuan and said, "Since you have the guts to pitch it to me, I'll give you a chance. I'll let one of my brothers try your medicine. If it's effective, I'll accept the price of ten thousand a bottle. But if there are no results, or my brother's injury worsens because of your medicine, then I'll have to make a few cuts on you, for you to experience the effects of your own medicine."

Without hesitation, Lu Chuan said, "No problem!"

He then took the initiative to approach an injured person, glanced at the fierce gash on the man's thigh, and applied the Wound Healing Ointment to it.

A sizzling sound ensued.

White smoke began to rise from the wound.

The injured person instantly let out a scream of agony.

Seeing this, Mo Laowu's expression chilled as he shouted, "Damn it, are you playing me for a fool?"

The apprentice shook his head helplessly, "This guy is really courting death. Even the King of Heaven can't save him now."

"Hold him down and give him a few cuts on his body!" Mo Laowu ordered.

A crowd of underlings was about to move against Lu Chuan.

"Wait a moment!" Lu Chuan spoke up.

Mo Laowu stared at Lu Chuan, "You made my brother suffer like that, it wouldn't be surprising if you were sent by one of my enemies on purpose. What else do you have to say!"

Lu Chuan then slowly moved his hand away from the injured person's thigh, saying, "Just look for yourself."

All eyes turned to look at the wound on the injured person's thigh.

To everyone's shock, the three-centimeter long vicious cut from earlier had completely healed up, leaving behind only a red scar.

Everyone gasped in surprise.

"It really closed up, that's miraculous!"

"Wow, such a deep cut, and it hasn't even been two minutes yet, and it's already healed? And there's only a scar left? This medicine must be a miracle elixir!"

...

The apprentice and the old physician were completely dumbfounded.

"How is this... this is impossible!" the apprentice shouted in disbelief.

Even Mo Laowu's pupils shrank, and the anger that had risen in him was suddenly suppressed.

"This is the effect of my medicine. If applied long enough, even this scar will disappear. Selling a bottle for ten thousand shouldn't be considered expensive, right?" Lu Chuan said with a smile.

Mo Laowu's attitude suddenly became much more polite, giving Lu Chuan an embarrassed smile, and said, "Brother, I am truly sorry, I misunderstood you just now. Since the medicine is so effective, please hurry up and apply it to my other brothers as well. I will pay you the full price."

Lu Chuan nodded happily. He had not expected that his freshly made Wound Healing Ointment would attract business so soon. He rushed to apply the ointment to several other injured people.

Once he had finished applying the ointment to every wounded person, roughly a whole bottle had been used.

Lu Chuan looked at Mo Laowu with a smile and said, "Fifth Master, they have used a whole bottle collectively, that's ten thousand yuan. But since you folks are often fighting and getting injured, I suggest you buy a few more bottles to have on hand for emergencies."

Mo Laowu nodded, beginning to consider how many bottles he should purchase.

Considering his brothers sustained so many injuries and only used one bottle in total, the medicine seemed quite durable.

And although he had many enemies and could not avoid fights and killings, it was now the twenty-first century, and even thugs were educated. Fights were rare, and incidents like today would not happen more than once a year.

So if he bought too many, he might not even use them all.

Therefore, he said, "Apart from the bottle just now, give me three more."

Seeing that Mo Laowu only wanted three bottles, Lu Chuan quickly said, "Fifth Master, such good medicine won't be available once this chance passes. If you want to buy, you should get more. Otherwise, when you want to buy it later, it might be gone."

Mo Laowu, hearing the sales pitch in Lu Chuan's voice, felt that buying in bulk didn't seem reliable and was about to refuse.

But then he heard Lu Chuan add, "Moreover, this medicine is not only for external application to wounds, but it can also be taken internally. Just a bit is enough to ensure you can stand firm, make merry all night long, and showcase a man's vigor!"

Mo Laowu suddenly grasped Lu Chuan's hand and said earnestly, "Brother, I think you're absolutely right. I have many underlings, and with all the fighting and killing, injuries are unavoidable. This Wound Healing Ointment is simply an essential medicine for me, so I won't stand on ceremony. I'll take whatever you have!"

Lu Chuan almost laughed out loud, thinking to himself that he hadn't expected the rugged-looking Mo Laowu to have such an issue.

He didn't let on what he knew but said, "Including the bottle we just used, there's a total of twelve bottles. Since Fifth Master wants them, I'll give them all to you."

He understated by one bottle, intending to keep it for emergencies.

At that moment, the old TCM doctor came over, cleared his throat twice, and looked at Fifth Master Long, "Fifth Master, this medicine is a rare find in my lifetime. Would you be willing to let me have two bottles?"

Fifth Master Long immediately sized up the old TCM doctor, thinking to himself, what do you want with this medicine at your age?

Despite being somewhat reluctant, he ultimately nodded and agreed to let two bottles go.

After the transaction was completed, Lu Chuan saw the 120,000 in his account and his face broke into a smile.

"It seems selling medicine could be a good way to make money. When I have time, I should focus on this area to ensure neither cultivation nor earning money is neglected."

Mo Laowu stored the Wound Healing Ointment carefully, then jovially threw his arm around Lu Chuan's shoulder and said, "Brother, I consider you a friend now. Let's exchange contact information. Whatever trouble you encounter in the future, just call me, and I'll help you settle it!"

Lu Chuan smiled and exchanged contact information with Mo Laowu.

Having more friends opened more paths, and although he had an inheritance, he wasn't foolish enough to believe that he no longer needed friends because of it.

Mo Laowu left with his followers.

The old TCM doctor eagerly asked Lu Chuan if he was interested in working at his clinic. Lu Chuan naturally wasn't interested and declined, then left the herbal shop.

"However, if I have the chance, I could open my own clinic, not only to make money and help others but also to provide an additional channel for collecting herbs to refine even better elixir pills."

As Lu Chuan walked and pondered, a black Mercedes-AMG G-Class screeched to a halt next to him.

The car window rolled down, and Lu Chuan saw Chu Mengyao sitting in the driver's seat with an icy expression. His eyes lit up, "Miss Chu!"

"Get in the car!" said Chu Mengyao coldly, seemingly very unhappy.

Lu Chuan quickly got into the passenger seat, thinking to himself, Women really are fickle, saying they won't contact you again and then they're the ones who come to you first.

Chu Mengyao drove to a secluded spot.

Lu Chuan wondered why Chu Mengyao had come looking for him. Did she want him to continue treating her condition, or did she need help with something else? Or had she fallen in love with him since that night?

While Lu Chuan was indulging in his vanity, Chu Mengyao, looking annoyed, handed him a photo and asked, "Do you recognize this person?"

Lu Chuan looked at the photo and was taken aback. It was the middle-aged man who had come to deal with him the night before.

Curious why Chu Mengyao had a photo of this man, he nodded and said, "I've seen him. Do you know him?"

"This man's name is Lin Bao, an Inner Strength Stage 3 master. He works for Long Tianya," Chu Mengyao said, then looked at Lu Chuan with a complex expression, "Your strength surprised me. I didn't expect that besides medical skills, you were also a martial master. But I can't understand why you'd provoke someone from Long Tianya's crew?"

Lu Chuan was shocked, not expecting that the middle-aged man was one of Long Tianya's.

However, Chu Mengyao's accusing tone irritated him. After all, he hadn't done anything wrong. He looked at her and said, "What, are you that scared I'll cause you trouble?"

Chu Mengyao became angrier. "Why are you so unreasonable? You've clearly brought big trouble upon yourself. I came to warn you out of goodwill, and this is the attitude you give me?"

Lu Chuan casually said, "It was this guy who messed with me first. My ex-girlfriend hired him to confront me, but I've already defeated him. Your worries are unnecessary."

But Chu Mengyao said, "Lin Bao is dead."

Lu Chuan's eyes widened in disbelief, "He's dead? How is that possible!"

Chu Mengyao explained, "He returned last night with severe injuries and died soon after. An examination showed that all his internal organs were shattered."

Lu Chuan gasped, not anticipating the Heart-Shattering Palm to be so powerful.

He was silent for a moment before asking, "Does Long Tianya want to avenge this Lin Bao?"

"Lin Bao was just a minor player in Long Tianya's group. He might not even bother to concern himself with this matter. Although you are quite formidable, in front of Long Tianya, you might not even qualify for him to take notice," Chu Mengyao continued, with a tone implying criticism.

Lu Chuan felt a sting, thinking that hit the spot, buddy.

Chu Mengyao went on, "But Lin Bao has a brother named Lin Hu, who also works for Long Tianya. Lin Hu is extremely protective, and upon hearing of Lin Bao's death last night, he resolved to kill you. If nothing unexpected happens, he will act by tomorrow at the latest. I was at the Long family to fetch something, and I happened to overhear them discussing it. It turns out the person who killed Lin Bao was you."

Lu Chuan's face became a bit more serious and he asked, "What is Lin Hu's strength?"

"An Inner Strength Stage 5 master," replied Chu Mengyao.

Lu Chuan's heart skipped a beat.
