Chapter 10

Jiang Le carefully examined the man a few times and confirmed that his feelings were not wrong. There was indeed a presence on him that Jiang Le found extremely repulsive, a feeling that was strong and direct, leaving no room for doubt.

"Could it be that he's so handsome it makes me jealous? That can't be it; I've never felt this way watching celebrities on TV." Jiang Le pondered, somewhat uncertain.

At this moment, the pharmacy assistant walked up to the short-haired handsome man and respectfully called out, "Young Master Qin, you've come to visit Miss Ziyuan again."

"Hehe, you won't tell me that Ziyuan isn't here today, will you?" Young Master Qin asked with a playful smile.

The pharmacy assistant smiled and said, "How could that be? Miss Ziyuan comes to study pharmacology with Old Chen every day, rain or shine, and she's very dedicated. You've come at the right time; Miss Ziyuan just arrived. Shall I take you up?"

"It's fine if she's here. I don't want to trouble you; you still have business to attend to." Young Master Qin glanced at Jiang Le, declined the pharmacy assistant's offer, nodded politely, and then walked alone towards the stairs by the wall, clearly very familiar with the place.

"Take it easy, Young Master Qin. The stairs were just mopped, so they're a bit slippery." The pharmacy assistant hurriedly reminded him.

However, Young Master Qin had already gone upstairs, and it was unclear whether he heard the pharmacy assistant's words.

Jiang Le watched this scene without any change in his expression. This Young Master Qin was clearly from a wealthy family, with a distinguished status. It wasn't surprising that the pharmacy assistant was fawning over him. Everyone has their own way of surviving, and Jiang Le couldn't blame others for it. He himself was just a small person, understanding the strong desire of ordinary people to change their lives.

Besides, he was just there to buy medicine. They sell, he buys, and once the transaction is complete, they might never meet again. There was no need to make a fuss over a little neglect, to show off or gain face. Jiang Le found such plot twists from novels uninteresting and unappealing.

So, Jiang Le waited calmly.

The pharmacy assistant then looked at Jiang Le and noticed that he was actually smiling and nodding at him, very sincerely, as if wishing him well and hoping he would be favored by a noble and rise to prominence.

Feeling Jiang Le's kindness, the pharmacy assistant's face showed a hint of embarrassment. He had been so focused on fawning over the noble that he had neglected the customer. If the shopkeeper found out, he would be punished at the very least.

"Cough, cough. Young Master Qin and our second miss, Ziyuan, grew up together, like childhood sweethearts. I think they're quite a match, so I've been trying to bring them together. I hope you can understand, sir." The pharmacy assistant explained somewhat awkwardly.

Jiang Le was speechless. He was there to buy medicine and had no interest in hearing a story about childhood sweethearts.

"Nothing to worry about. Can you get the medicine for me now?" Jiang Le responded casually.

The pharmacy assistant realized he had gone off-topic and quickly got back to the point. "What medicine do you need, sir? I'll get it for you."

Jiang Le handed the prescription to the pharmacy assistant. Just one glance, and the assistant's expression changed. He looked at Jiang Le in surprise, then carefully read the entire prescription.

Jiang Le looked at the pharmacy assistant expectantly and asked, "How about it? Do you have these medicines?"

The pharmacy assistant looked up and seriously asked, "Sir, are you really buying these medicines?"

Jiang Le frowned, somewhat displeased. What was wrong with this pharmacy assistant? If he wasn't buying, would he wait here for so long and watch him fawn over others? He wasn't sick.

"Yes, I am buying them, and I need the best quality." Jiang Le answered seriously, looking deeply at the pharmacy assistant, hoping he wouldn't continue to doubt him.

Buying medicine was just that, and this was a transaction worth hundreds of thousands. If the assistant doubted him, what kind of century-old shop was this? If he said one more word, Jiang Le would go to another shop. With three million in his pocket, he wasn't worried about not finding the medicines.

"Wow!" The pharmacy assistant was truly shocked. He realized he had misjudged the customer.

This customer, who he had neglected, was not easy to see through. He was dressed ordinarily, looked average, and had no noble air about him. But he was willing to spend hundreds of thousands on medicines.

He seemed calm and composed, as if spending hundreds of thousands was just a light rain.

Could this be the legendary low-key luxury?

"Apologies, sir. This is a big deal, beyond my authority to decide. I need to consult with our shopkeeper. Please wait a moment." The pharmacy assistant lowered his stance and his professional smile seemed more ingratiating.

Jiang Le was taken aback, but after a moment's thought, he agreed. A transaction worth hundreds of thousands was indeed a big deal for a pharmacy. A regular assistant couldn't make such a decision.

He nodded in agreement.

The pharmacy assistant quickly ran upstairs.

A moment later, a middle-aged man with a square face came down with him.

"I am Yun Jichen, the shopkeeper of this store. May I ask if you are the young man who needs these precious medicines?" The middle-aged man held Jiang Le's prescription and asked seriously.

Jiang Le nodded and said, "Yes, I wonder if your store has the medicines in stock?"

Yun Jichen looked deeply at Jiang Le. He, too, felt that he couldn't see through this young man. With his sharp eyes, he could tell that this young man was just an ordinary resident's child, but he could afford to spend hundreds of thousands on precious medicines. Who was he?

After a moment's thought, Yun Jichen asked, "Do you prefer cash or transfer?"

Jiang Le replied, "Transfer."

Yun Jichen's eyebrows raised. A transfer would avoid the risk of being used to launder fake money. It seemed this young man was really there to buy medicine.

Since that was the case, there was no reason to turn away such a big deal.

Yun Jichen smiled and said, "Our store is a century-old shop with ample stock of various precious medicines. We have all the medicines you need, but the price..."

Jiang Le smiled calmly and said, "The price is not a problem. Prepare the best quality medicines according to the prescription. Just tell me the price."

With three million in his pocket, Jiang Le could handle a few hundred thousand.

As for the extravagant spending, he would deal with it later. First, he needed to refine the pills.

"Alright, Xiao Yang, go to the premium warehouse and get the medicines." The shopkeeper handed the prescription to the assistant.

The assistant quickly took it and ran to the back of the store.

Yun Jichen opened his computer and quickly calculated the price of the medicines.

It was a challenge, as the assistant had taken the prescription, but he still remembered the medicines and quickly calculated the price.

"Young man, you need seventeen types of medicines. According to the quantity of each, the total cost is 7,316,250 yuan. However, since you are buying in such a large quantity, you qualify for our store's VIP status. I will give you the VIP discount, so the total is 7,300,000 yuan. Here is the bill; please check if there are any errors." Yun Jichen smiled and reported the number.

Jiang Le was surprised and inwardly gasped. These premium medicines were three times the price of ordinary ones, which was quite painful. The most he had ever spent was 100 yuan on an English study machine.

He never thought he would spend 7,300,000 yuan in one go!

But premium medicines were definitely stronger than ordinary ones. He believed the refined pills would be much better, accelerating his cultivation and helping him repair his soul injury. The money was worth it.

Jiang Le clenched his teeth and decided to check the medicines. If there were no issues, he would pay by card.

A moment later, before the assistant returned with the medicines, an unexpected incident occurred.

A woman's scream came from upstairs.

Yun Jichen and Jiang Le were both taken aback. Yun Jichen's expression changed, and he quickly ran upstairs, ignoring Jiang Le.

Jiang Le pondered for a moment but decided to stay behind. Whatever was happening upstairs, he was an outsider and an ordinary person, and he couldn't help. He would wait downstairs.

However, his thoughts were interrupted by another sound from upstairs.

"Aaaah..."

A sound like a wild beast's roar came from upstairs.

Jiang Le's expression changed. This sound was familiar, similar to the old man Jin's scream after he turned into a zombie.

What the heck, did someone upstairs turn into a zombie?

That didn't make sense. This was a pharmacy, not a funeral home. How could there be a dead person?

Jiang Le's mind raced. He was destined to be a future Taoist master, with the responsibility to slay demons and evil spirits. He couldn't back down when faced with evil.

He felt for the talismans left by Old Man Jin, but they were in the antique shop. He had come to buy medicine, so he didn't bring them.

However, in his pocket, Jiang Le found two talismans, the remaining ones from the five exorcism talismans drawn by his master Mao Xiaofang.

But just two talismans? Would they be enough?

Jiang Le regretted it. His master had said that he should always carry his tools, but he had forgotten.

At this moment, the commotion upstairs grew louder, with continuous screams.

Jiang Le clenched his teeth, couldn't wait any longer, and hid the two exorcism talismans in his hand, then rushed upstairs.

As soon as he got upstairs, Jiang Le heard the sound of intense fighting coming from a room, with the sound of furniture breaking.

He quickly approached and looked inside, gasping in shock.

The room was in chaos, with furniture and medicines scattered everywhere.

In one corner, an old man with white hair lay on the ground, clutching his chest and groaning in pain.

In another corner, a beautiful girl with her clothes torn to shreds hugged her chest, tears streaming down her face, terrified.

In the middle of the room, two people were fighting.

One was the shopkeeper Yun Jichen, and the other was Young Master Qin.

Wait, something was wrong with Young Master Qin.

Jiang Le's eyes narrowed as he noticed the situation. Young Master Qin was attacking Yun Jichen like a wild beast, his face twisted in a grimace, his eyes bloodshot, and his teeth bared, like a demon.

Jiang Le felt the repulsive aura from him even more strongly. Could Young Master Qin be the evil spirit?
