28: Chapter 28 Taking the Elixir and Reborn

Gu Ruoxue was speechless.

Ever since Jiang Chen was released from prison, his behavior had become increasingly bizarre.

Jiang Chen previously produced the Pill Formula for the beauty-preserving pill, which could be understood as something given to him by the Master he apprenticed under in prison; that was still somewhat understandable.

Now, he was actually practicing Alchemy in the kitchen in the middle of the night.

She felt like she was going crazy.

Could Medicinal Pills really be made so casually?

And this pill he gave her, it looked a bit dirty—was it actually safe to eat?

"Jiang Chen, after you return from the Ling Family tomorrow, do you have any other plans?"

Gu Ruoxue quickly turned around and asked Jiang Chen, who had just walked up to the second floor.

Jiang Chen paused for a moment: "I don't think I have anything going on."

Gu Ruoxue hurriedly said: "Then tomorrow, I'll book an appointment with a psychiatrist for you. I'll take you there; if you keep going like this, it'll be very dangerous."

Jiang Chen had wondered what Gu Ruoxue wanted to take him to do.

So it turned out to be seeing a psychiatrist.

Actually, it was no wonder Gu Ruoxue was scared.

Anyone else would find what he was doing right now unbelievable.

What kind of normal person practices Alchemy in the kitchen in the middle of the night?

Jiang Chen wasn't angry; instead, he smiled at Gu Ruoxue:

"Sister-in-law, I'm really fine."

"As for the Medicinal Pill in your hand, if you're scared, just throw it away. It's no problem."

After saying this, he opened his bedroom door and walked inside.

Gu Ruoxue looked down at the Medicinal Pill in her palm. Just as she was about to throw it into the trash can, she pulled her hand back halfway.

After all, this was Jiang Chen's good intention.

She couldn't let Jiang Chen feel discouraged.

Gu Ruoxue tidied up the kitchen, then poured a glass of water and returned to her own room.

After what just happened, she had no desire to sleep.

She picked up the book on her nightstand, intending to continue reading, but accidentally glanced at the calendar next to it.

Looking at the date on it, Gu Ruoxue murmured:

"It's almost the third anniversary of the Jiang couple's death. Time flies so fast. Fortunately, Jiang Chen has returned this year, so the Jiang couple can rest in peace."

In fact, too many unbelievable accidents happened three years ago.

Jiang Chen's three brothers were killed on the battlefield one after another.

The Jiang couple both died at a banquet in the same year.

Subsequently, the entire Jiang Family fell apart, completely dropping out of the ranks of Jinling's wealthy families and crumbling into dust.

All these things happened in the same year, as if a mysterious and terrifying force had forcibly destroyed the entire Jiang Family.

She had sought out many people, just wanting to find out the reason why the Jiang Family was wiped out.

But no one could tell her the reason.

Even the prominent Gu Family in the provincial capital kept silent about this matter and warned her not to investigate further.

Later, her company's performance plummeted, and she had to stop the investigation.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen was still safe and sound, preserving a sliver of the Jiang Family's Bloodline.

Now she didn't have any other thoughts; she only hoped that Jiang Chen would live a simple life, marry, have children, and let the spirits of his parents and brothers rest in peace.

While lost in thought.

Gu Ruoxue felt a wave of drowsiness and fell back asleep.

Because he stayed up all night practicing Alchemy, Jiang Chen didn't wake up until ten in the morning.

Gu Ruoxue had already gone to the company early.

Ling Shuang had rushed to the house early in the morning and was chatting with Grandma Jiang on the living room sofa.

"Jiang Chen, you're awake?"

Seeing Jiang Chen come out, Ling Shuang quickly stood up and called out.

"Second Sister-in-law, when did you arrive?"

Jiang Chen went downstairs to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

A look of gratitude appeared on Ling Shuang's cold and beautiful face as she said: "I came over around seven. You hadn't woken up yet at that time. Sister-in-law said you stayed up all night practicing Alchemy for my father; you've really worked hard."

"Second Sister-in-law, you're too kind; this is what I should do."

Jiang Chen smiled indifferently.

After greeting Grandma Jiang, Jiang Chen went out with Ling Shuang.

Today, Ling Shuang was not wearing her uniform and wasn't driving a police car; instead, she was driving a very rugged-looking Jeep.

This car matched Ling Shuang's heroic and spirited temperament very well.

After Jiang Chen sat down, Ling Shuang started the Jeep and left the residential compound.

Half an hour later.

The two arrived at the Ling Family villa.

As soon as Jiang Chen got out of the car, he discovered that almost everyone in the Ling Family had come out to welcome him, which was quite a grand affair.

Leading them, naturally, were Ling Weixian and his wife.

Ling Weixian walked forward quickly, grabbed Jiang Chen's hand, and said excitedly: "Jiang Chen, you've finally arrived. I didn't sleep at all last night, fearing that this might be the last time in my life."

"Uncle Ling, don't worry, I will definitely be able to cure you."

Jiang Chen smiled indifferently.

Ling Shuang, who was beside them, suddenly spoke up: "Dad, Jiang Chen stayed up all night practicing Alchemy for you. I brought him over right after he woke up; he hasn't even had breakfast yet."

Upon hearing this, Ling Weixian quickly said to Mrs. Ling beside him: "Xiulan, go order the servants to prepare breakfast immediately. Let Jiang Chen eat his fill before treating the illness."

"Alright!"

Mrs. Ling quickly agreed.

"Aunt Ling, there's no need to trouble yourself."

Jiang Chen really couldn't handle the enthusiasm of Ling Weixian and his wife, so he waved his hand directly: "I'm not hungry right now, and besides, treating the illness won't take long—a few minutes will be enough."

Upon hearing that a few minutes would be enough, everyone present was shocked.

That was late-stage lung cancer!

How could it be cured so quickly? Even a reincarnated Hua Tuo wouldn't dare to say that, right?

If they hadn't witnessed the miracle of Jiang Chen bringing Ling Weixian back from the brink of death that day, the Ling Family would have probably already kicked him out as a Jianghu charlatan.

Ling Shuang lightly nudged Jiang Chen's arm and asked, somewhat skeptically: "A few minutes, really?"

"Of course it's true."

Jiang Chen gave Ling Shuang a smile.

Seeing that Jiang Chen was so confident, Ling Weixian and his wife didn't find it appropriate to say anything more and directly invited Jiang Chen into the house.

The group arrived at Ling Weixian and his wife's room.

Ling Weixian looked at Jiang Chen and asked: "What should I do? Do I need to lie down?"

"No need."

Jiang Chen shook his head.

Ling Weixian asked quickly: "Then what do I need to do?"

Jiang Chen smiled and said: "Just open your mouth."

Ling Weixian was full of doubts, but he obediently opened his mouth.

The next second.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Jiang Chen took a crumpled plastic bag out of his pants pocket.

It was a very common supermarket plastic bag, the kind that costs a few cents.

Jiang Chen opened the plastic bag, took out five small brown Medicinal Pills from inside, and handed them to Ling Weixian, saying: "Uncle Ling, this is the medicine I prepared for you. Eat them all."

The members of the Ling Family looked at the wrinkled, cheap plastic bag and the five pills of unknown origin, falling into deep suspicion.

Could these pills really be eaten?

Not only was the color unappealing, but they also emitted a pungent odor.

Wouldn't eating this make a healthy person sick?

Many people in the Ling Family had this thought, but no one dared to stand up and question Jiang Chen.

After all, right now, only Jiang Chen could save Ling Weixian.

Ling Weixian stared at the pills in Jiang Chen's palm, gritted his teeth, and as if making up his mind, said: "I'll eat them!"

After saying this, he grabbed the pills, closed his eyes, and put them all into his mouth.

The moment he swallowed them, a rich medicinal power overflowed.

Ling Weixian felt a warm current surging within his body; his cold hands and feet became warm, and his whole body felt like it was soaking in a hot spring, comfortable to the extreme.

"So comfortable..."

Ling Weixian closed his eyes, tilted his head slightly back, and revealed an intoxicated expression.

He couldn't describe this feeling with words.

It was even more stimulating than the pleasure between a man and a woman.

If one had to find a word to describe this feeling.

It was Rebirth!
