The car drove for more than half an hour and arrived at the foot of Yuelu Mountain. There was a very unique house here.
There were no luxurious decorations. It looked like a farmhouse courtyard.
However, as one of the more famous tourist attractions in Sha City, it was basically impossible for there to be any residential houses.
If there were, there were only two possibilities. Either the owner had enough power, or there were very few residents left from the past.
Even the native residents were mostly asked to move out of the scenic area.
Of course, the compensation was very high.
The car wound up a flat and wide mountain road.
Finally, the car stopped next to a wooden bridge over a stream. Just opposite the wooden bridge, there was a courtyard.
Ye Xiaochen was very emotional. It was really not easy to find such a beautiful place to live in this city.
It could be seen that the owner of this house was really not an ordinary person!
The three of them got out of the car, walked over the wooden bridge, and came to the courtyard.
Through the bamboo fence, they could see that there was a stone table under a strong tree. Two old men were playing chess.
One of the old men had gray hair, but his face was ruddy. He had a youthful face and white hair, and his temperament was extraordinary.
Obviously, he was good at health.
The other one was thin and small, like an old farmer. There was nothing extraordinary about him.
"Let's wait."
Professor Zhang whispered to Ye Xiaochen.
Obviously, he did not want to disturb the two people playing chess.
Ye Xiaochen complained in her heart. No way, we have to wait outside. Can't we go in and wait?
But looking at Professor Zhang's serious look, she could only nod.
Even the arrogant Wang Yuandong had a serious expression on his face, as if he was a good student.
Seeing this, Ye Xiaochen was even more aware that the two old men inside were probably not ordinary people.
Professor Zhang was a scholar and professor with status. It was impossible for him to be so cautious and reserved.
They waited for more than half an hour.
"I'm not playing anymore. You're too treacherous, old man."
Suddenly, the old farmer pushed his chicken claw-like hand and directly messed up the chess pieces on the chessboard.
"Old Ye, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the guests outside?"
The old man with a ruddy complexion and white hair didn't get angry. He smiled and shook his head.
He began to put the scattered chess pieces into the box.
Professor Zhang then led Ye Xiaochen and Wang Yuandong into the courtyard.
"Elder Ye, Dean Peng."
Professor Zhang went up to greet the two old men. His expression and behavior were very humble.
"Professor Zhang is here. Didn't you say you invited someone over? Where is he?"
The one called Mr. Ye was a skinny old man who looked like an old farmer. He looked around Professor Zhang and only saw two young people. He was a little surprised.
The old man with the ruddy complexion and white hair, Principal Peng, was still packing up the chess pieces. He only glanced at them and didn't say anything.
"Elder Ye, this is Ye Xiaochen. He's the person I invited. He was the one who concocted the plant growth promoting medicine that I used last time."
Professor Zhang hurriedly said.
"Him?"
The old farmer, Elder Ye, looked at Ye Xiaochen and was even more surprised.
He thought that Zhang Keqin would invite someone in the same field. Who would have thought that it would be such a young person? This was too ridiculous.
"Zhang Keqin, you didn't just find someone to fool me, right?"
Elder Ye's face suddenly turned cold.
It was like a harmless cat that suddenly bared its fangs and claws and turned into a ferocious tiger.
The current Elder Ye was like this. He emitted an aura that had been cultivated for a long time. It made Professor Zhang break out in a cold sweat.
Ye Xiaochen had the psychic talent and was more sensitive on the mental level. She suddenly felt a strong pressure and couldn't help but be surprised.
"Old Peng, what plant growth promoting medicine?"
The old man with white hair was a professional Chinese medicine practitioner. He keenly sensed the uniqueness of the plant growth promoting medicine and immediately asked curiously.
"Didn't I tell you last time that there was a problem with my Longevity White Wax? I invited a lot of people but they couldn't cure it. Later, he said that there was a very magical plant growth promoting medicine that could cure it. In the end, it was cured, but the more it was cured, the worse it became."
Elder Ye said with a glare.
"Professor Zhang, what's so magical about the plant growth promoting medicine?"
The old man, Dean Peng, quickly asked Professor Zhang.
Professor Zhang was a little embarrassed, but he still told the truth.
"There's such a thing?"
Dean Peng was very surprised.
Although he wasn't in the botanical field, Chinese medicine still had to deal with all kinds of herbs.
If that was really the case, then the plant growth promoting medicine was indeed magical.
In Chinese medicine, there was no medicine that could slow down aging. Even if there was a medicine that could save one's life, it was a strong medicine that could only last for a short time.
"I don't care. You have to pay for my treasure."
Elder Ye's tone was very tough.
Professor Zhang broke out in a cold sweat. Pay? Even if he sold himself, he wouldn't be able to pay for it!
He couldn't help but look at Ye Xiaochen for help, hoping that Ye Xiaochen could help him.
Ye Xiaochen couldn't help but touch her nose. This old man was obviously not easy to get along with. If she couldn't cure it, wouldn't she be implicated as well?
However, the current situation didn't seem to allow him to stay out of it.
"Sir, why don't you let me take a look at that … uh?"
Ye Xiaochen coughed to make her presence known and then said.
However, he suddenly forgot the name of the bonsai tree.
Professor Zhang felt like ten thousand alpacas were roaring in the depths of his heart. He suddenly wondered if he had misjudged it.
Wang Yuandong had already rolled his eyes. F * ck, he couldn't even remember the name of the bonsai tree. Wasn't this a joke?
The farmer-like Elder Ye glanced at Ye Xiaochen and said in a cold tone, "Kid, although your surname is also Ye, I'm a very unreasonable person. My white wax is not easy to cure. If you fail to cure it, you'll have to pay for it with him. I reckon that even if I buy you, I won't be able to afford it."
Ye Xiaochen's face was full of sweat. It was so embarrassing that he even forgot the name of the tree.
He still tried to appear calm. Uh, at this time, he really had to pretend.
However, he was a little unhappy with the old man's cynicism. He didn't believe that there was a plant that couldn't be cured with the Shen Nung system in hand.
If he couldn't cure it in one day, he would take ten days. If he couldn't cure it in ten days, he would take a hundred days!
Ye Xiaochen was the kind of person who was cautious and had the mentality of a farmer.
However, since he got the Shen Nung system, some success, achievements, and confidence in the future gradually made him arrogant.
If it were in the past, when he encountered such a situation, his reaction would definitely be to act like an ostrich.
But this time, he didn't.
"Sir, let me take a look at that white wax."
Ye Xiaochen said again.
He straightened his back.
He raised his chin.
His tone was calm and smart.
There was also a touch of confidence and pride on his face.
