Chapter 52 - One in a Million

Ye Haochuan nodded and said, “Yes.

If you trust me, I can perform acupuncture on you right now.”

“Good,” President Yang readily responded.

Subsequently, at Ye Haochuan’s instructions, President Yang lay down again on the sofa.

“Brother Tang Zhen, may I borrow your silver needles?” Ye Haochuan asked with a smile.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, even if Tang Zhen was reluctant, he had no choice but to lend them.

Ye Haochuan immediately circulated the Longevity Technique, injecting the Longevity True Qi into the silver needles.

In an instant, the threads of the silver needles, as fine as hair, suddenly became rigid.

The onlookers were stunned, not expecting the flexible silver needles to be so firm.

It’s conceivable that this was all thanks to Ye Haochuan’s Qigong.

Then, Ye Haochuan swiftly inserted the silver needles into the acupoints on the right side of President Yang’s chest.

His movements were equally fast, finishing the insertion of more than a dozen silver needles in moments.

“Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles?” Old Master Kou exclaimed in surprise, blurting out.

But soon, seeing that Ye Haochuan continued inserting needles, he shook his head, “No, no…”

Ye Haochuan nodded and said impassively, “Elder is right.

This is a modified version of Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles, based on which I’ve developed the Ye Family Eighteen Needles technique, which is extremely effective.”

In order not to expose Holy Hand, he had temporarily changed Holy Hand Eighteen Needles to “Ye Family Eighteen Needles,” hoping to bluff his way through.

Old Master Kou truly didn’t suspect anything, and simply assumed that Ye Family Eighteen Needles were his ancestral secret technique.

Ye Haochuan then continued to channel Longevity True Qi, persistently impacting President Yang’s heart area, using the healing properties of Longevity True Qi to promote the self-repair of the heart’s septal defect.

The greatest function of Longevity True Qi is its healing properties since it can promote the recovery of bodily functions.

This is what sets it apart from other Inner Qi, and it’s quite magical.

This is also one of the reasons why Holy Hand commands such a high status within the Ancient Martial Arts Sect.

Time ticked by, every second passing as everyone watched Ye Haochuan’s every move, as well as President Yang’s reactions.

At this moment, President Yang appeared completely indulged and comfortable.

In his opinion, Ye Haochuan’s acupuncture technique was indeed much more sophisticated than Tang Zhen’s.

The silver needles were cold, but in Ye Haochuan’s hands, with just a gentle twist, they emitted a faint warmth, which was very comfortable.

Twenty minutes later, Ye Haochuan suddenly stopped twisting the needles and took out a small bottle of Eclipse mints, pouring out a pill – it was the Body-Strengthening Pill he had concocted.

“President Yang, this is a Body-Strengthening Pill that I’ve concocted.

It’s immensely beneficial for strengthening the body.

Your heart defect has just been repaired by me and is still fragile.

Now is the time it needs to be fortified.

Take it,” Ye Haochuan said.

Looking at the unimpressive, mud-like so-called Body-Strengthening Pill in his hand, everyone felt a bit disgusted.

“What is this stuff?

It’s dirty, and you dare to have President Yang take it?” Tang Zhen took the opportunity to stir things up.

Ye Haochuan furrowed his brows.

This Tang Zhen’s competitive spirit was a bit too strong, wasn’t it?

As the saying goes, a medical practitioner should be compassionate.

A physician should harbor a benevolent heart intent on relieving the suffering in the world, not a competitive spirit.

This Tang Zhen, though a medical practitioner, was clearly not fit for the role!

“Brother Tang Zhen, whether or not to take it is President Yang’s decision, not yours, right?” Ye Haochuan said, his tone heated.

Just as Tang Zhen was about to retort, Elder Kou gave him a stern look: “Tang Zhen, shut your mouth.”

Being chastised by his master, Tang Zhen mumbled and didn’t dare utter another word.

At this point, President Yang spoke as if he had made a great decision: “I believe in Junior Brother Ye, I’ll take it.”

After speaking, he directly took the Body-Strengthening Pill from his hand, closed his eyes, tilted his head back, and swallowed it.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on President Yang, waiting to see what would happen next.

Five minutes later, President Yang opened his eyes and took a deep breath, “That feels amazing!”

The crowd was taken aback and hurriedly asked what was going on.

President Yang explained, “This Body-Strengthening Pill really is extraordinary.

Right before I took it, I felt somewhat listless.

But after taking it, I feel much younger, my mind is clearer and I can’t begin to describe how energetic I feel.

Also, my vision seems to have improved a lot…”

Hearing about all the benefits President Yang had experienced, the crowd was astonished.

Ye Haochuan explained with a smile, “Though the Body-Strengthening Pill isn’t a cure-all, it certainly has the effect of improving bodily functions.”

Hearing this, people shamelessly started to ask Ye Haochuan for some.

Ye Haochuan frowned, the Body-Strengthening Pill had shown remarkable effects, but with so many people asking for it, how could he possibly satisfy them all?

Besides, these people were looking to take medicine without seeking treatment first, hoping for an easy fix.

Wasn’t that putting the cart before the horse?

“Hey, let’s all calm down a bit.

Brother Ye’s Body-Strengthening Pill must not be easy to make.

You can’t expect to take something of such value without paying a price.

How about this, Brother Ye, you name your price, and I’ll buy three.

One for me, one for my wife, and one for my son.”

Li Tianwei said loudly, showing off his financial strength.

Once Li Tianwei spoke up, others began to chime in, “Right, Brother Ye, you name your price, money is not an issue…”

Money is not an issue?

Ye Haochuan’s eyelid twitched, damn, should I open a pill store?

The business would definitely be booming!

Ye Haochuan was also someone who wouldn’t wake up early for no benefit.

His eyes darted around as he hatched a plan and put on a troubled expression, “Ladies and gentlemen, this Body-Strengthening Pill is not easy to create.

It’s all done by hand, and its value can’t be measured in money…”

“Brother Ye, just name your price.

There’s a saying that health cannot be bought with money.

To us, it may seem like we have successful careers, but in fact, our bodies are more or less suffering from problems.

Take me, for instance.

I often have to drink with clients, which has damaged my spleen and stomach.

I deeply regret it now.”

One of the presidents said.

“Exactly, Brother Ye, just go ahead and name your price.

We have no complaints, as long as we can get healthy,” the crowd echoed in agreement.

Only then did Ye Haochuan say, “Well, seeing as you all are asking so eagerly, I suppose I’ll indulge you this once – a million per pill.

Also, I want to add that it’s limited to one per person.”

A million?

Tang Zhen was stunned on the spot.

A pill that looked nothing more than a lump of mud was actually a million per piece?

That’s outrageously profitable!

What surprised him even more was that the presidents didn’t care about the price of a million per Body-Strengthening Pill.

“Only a million bucks per pill?

That’s too cheap.

Brother Ye, here’s a million-dollar cheque from Huaxia Bank for you.

Keep it safe.”

“Indeed, compared to health, that’s very cheap.

Brother Ye, here’s a million-dollar cheque from Huaxia Agricultural Bank for you.

Keep it safe.”

“Brother Ye is really a generous person.

I thought such a miraculous elixir would cost at least ten million, but it’s only a million,” another president added.

The crowd was abuzz with conversation.

In no time at all, most of the Body-Strengthening Pills in Ye Haochuan’s possession had been sold, leaving only six left.

Ye Haochuan secretly reveled in his heart.

He never expected that those Body-Strengthening Pills he had re-processed from the Body-Strengthening Pills he had snatched from Fang Ba would turn out to be his golden goose.

Looking at the dozen or so cheques in his hand, he felt as if he were floating on air.

Damn, with a flip of a hand, that’s tens of millions in assets.

This is so exciting!
