Chapter: 3385
Líng Zī, although also a rare treasure in traditional Chinese medicine, is completely different from Ren Shen. It's simply a type of fungus, like mushrooms or oyster mushrooms, and it's widely distributed in nature, with most areas being covered.
Moreover, the Líng Zī in the mountains isn't particularly well-known, while many people venture into the mountains to dig for Ren Shen, but few for Líng Zī. This is mainly because Líng Zī is easy to cultivate and breed, with a fast growth rate.
That's why there are many Líng Zī-based traditional Chinese medicine products on the market, regardless of whether they're raw materials or so-called spore powder, which has become extremely popular.
If you were to package Shě Zhī using the same formula, it's possible that all the Shě Zhī in East China would be dug up, and it might not even meet next year's market demand.
Ye Chen had only casually mentioned it to Qin Gang earlier, and Qin Gang had promptly found several thousand-year-old Líng Zī for him, each one bigger than a washbasin.
As for other auxiliary medicines, Qin Gang could also procure those. So Ye Chen let him arrange someone to deliver all the medicines he needed.
Because Pu Yuan Dan requires a variety of medicines in large quantities, it will take some time to refine them, and just distilling the essence of the medicine is equivalent to brewing a big pot of traditional Chinese medicine.
It's only natural that there would be such potent medicines like Dragon's Breath Fragrance, and with it included, the flavor might become even more concentrated.
Ye Chen was worried that the medicine's aroma was too strong to explain to his family, so he brought along Dragon's Breath Fragrance and Thousand-Year Snow Ginseng to prepare for a trip to Chen Ze Kai to deliver his set of refined elixirs at the luxurious villa in the rural area.
That place is a standalone villa situated halfway up the mountain, far from the neighboring households by several hundred miles, making it even more peaceful and secure.
As for other medicines he needed, Qin Gang had already dispatched someone to send them to Chen Ze Kai's estate, while Ye Chen would drive out to pick them up directly and then head to the luxurious villa.
Just as he was about to leave, he received a call from Gu Qi Yu, who was thrilled on the phone, asking, "Ye Chen, older brother, your dad says you'll be coming to Yanjing tomorrow?"
Ye Chen was taken aback, opening his mouth to say, "Gu Uncle, how do you know? I indeed plan to depart tomorrow, but there are still some things I need to take care of, so the exact time has not been set in stone yet. That's why I didn't bother contacting you or Gu Uncle or Lin Auntie; I was planning to wait until it's confirmed before letting you all know."
Gu Qi Yu chuckled and said, "Your dad is always right on target! He says you'll definitely be coming tomorrow!"
As she spoke, Gu Qi Yu added, "Ye Chen, older brother, if you do come tomorrow, why don't you just stay with us? Mom and Dad are both eager to see you."
"Okay." Ye Chen smiled slightly. "I had already agreed to stay at your place, and besides, I'm not on good terms with my family members; staying with you would be a great opportunity for me to relax and unwind."
"That's wonderful!" Gu Qi Yu responded without hesitation. "Ye Chen, older brother, just let me know once you've confirmed your travel plans, and I'll come to the airport to pick you up!"
"Ye Chen said hastily, 'No need to go through so much trouble, I'll just go myself tomorrow. Since I've been there before, I know the way and can find my way home.'"
"That's not how it's going to be!" Gu Qi Yu said without hesitation. "You're our esteemed guest, how could we let you come alone? And just like last time, I'll pick you up from the airport! You'd better confirm your flight schedule with me, or else I won't bother with you again! Take care of it yourself!'"
"Alright, alright." Ye Chen shrugged and smiled. "Since you've said that, I'll trouble you to come to the airport tomorrow."
Gu Qi Yu was thrilled. "No trouble at all! If you're willing to come every day, I'm also happy to pick you up from the airport every day!"
Ye Chen smiled. "Alright then, I'll confirm my flight schedule and let you know ahead of time, so we can meet at the airport tomorrow."
Gu Qi Yu was delighted. "Great! See you tomorrow at the airport!"
Ye Chen stepped out of her car, hastily waving at Ye Chen and saying with a smile: "Master Ye!"
Ye Chen pulled over to the side, laughing and asking: "Snow, did your dad send you here?" JrNovels.com
