Chapter 79

"Failure is just failure; you must take care of your health. You look very tired right now," Lin Zhenqiang advised Mo Zhitao. "You should go rest and stop refining medicine for now."

Mo Zhitao nodded. "Okay, I'll go practice some martial arts and regulate my breathing. You can also practice the Primordial Power. Take your time, don't rush."

"Yes, Brother Mo," Lin Zhenqiang nodded.

Mo Zhitao felt extremely tired. He went to the shower room to bathe. After the water continuously washed over his body, he came out with his skin flushed red.

Lin Zhenqiang was very surprised when he saw this. He exclaimed, "Brother Mo, why is your body like this? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

"Zhenqiang, don't worry. When you see me like this in the future, don't panic. It's very helpful for my practice. It's a kind of instinct that protects me," Mo Zhitao couldn't explain clearly to Lin Zhenqiang. He couldn't say that he had eaten the Golden Diamond Dragon Snake, which caused this. Besides, Lin Zhenqiang wouldn't understand, so it was better not to say anything.

"I'm going inside to practice. Don't disturb me unless it's something important."

After Mo Zhitao went inside, he immediately sat down to practice. He had been very tired from refining the medicine earlier, and it had also consumed an hour of his true qi.

After practicing for a few cycles, Mo Zhitao happily discovered that although he had been very tired from refining the medicine, he could recover his internal energy very quickly. As his body continued to heat up, it seemed that his energy was also more abundant than before.

Heaven, could refining medicine actually improve my martial arts? Mo Zhitao was secretly excited. If that was the case, he would need to refine medicine more often.

In fact, Mo Zhitao was right. When refining the practice pills, he had to continuously use his internal energy to control the medicine. Even a slight mistake in the use of internal energy could cause the medicine to fail.

Therefore, during the continuous refining process, Mo Zhitao could无形中 practice his internal energy, even though he consumed a lot of true qi. However, after using the special abilities of the Golden Diamond Dragon Snake, he could significantly enhance his internal energy.

Mo Zhitao stood up and went to get the second batch of medicine. He now understood why he failed the first time. At the final stage, he didn't increase his internal energy to control the medicine, which led to his failure.

For the second attempt, Mo Zhitao was even more careful. After two hours, Mo Zhitao, who was inside the room, finally shouted and used the last bit of true qi in his body. The pill was finally refined into a first-grade practice pill.

A successfully refined first-grade practice pill was completely different from an unfinished one. The successful pill had a fragrant aroma, and after being synthesized with internal energy, the pill was very solid, with no visible flaws.

Mo Zhitao, now drenched in sweat, opened the room door and said to Lin Zhenqiang, "Zhenqiang, take this first-grade practice pill first. When you're almost done practicing, you can take it, and your internal energy will directly rise to level one."

"Brother Mo, thank you," Lin Zhenqiang said sincerely.

"Don't mention it. We are brothers, so there's no need for such formalities," Mo Zhitao waved his hand. "Since I just started refining this kind of pill, I made a mistake and failed. It won't happen again. Tomorrow, go buy a few more batches, and I'll refine one for Li Bin. The rest can be sold. This thing is worth at least 200,000 yuan per pill, and some people might even offer a higher price."

Mo Zhitao thought about all the martial artists in the martial arts world who would definitely need this. If he had a second-grade practice pill, he could also improve his internal energy to level two.

However, the black-clothed man had said that for his body, it was best to practice solidly. The second-level martial arts improved by internal energy and those practiced solidly were different, with the latter being much stronger.

"Grandma, this thing is worth 200,000 yuan per pill?" Lin Zhenqiang's eyes widened. "Brother Mo, why don't we sell mine too?"

Lin Zhenqiang thought about swallowing 200,000 yuan in one go and felt reluctant to take it.

"Your body is the most important. We will soon make money," Mo Zhitao said excitedly. As long as he refined some first-grade practice pills, he could make a lot of money.

"Okay," Lin Zhenqiang nodded.

After giving the first-grade practice pill to Lin Zhenqiang, Mo Zhitao went to take another shower until his body turned red. He then hurriedly practiced the Yin-Yang Technique. This martial art was very suitable for his condition, as he had an excess of yang energy, and the Yin-Yang Technique could balance it.

After practicing for a few cycles, Mo Zhitao felt that the true qi he had consumed earlier had returned and seemed even stronger. He was getting happier the more he thought about it.

"Ring, ring, ring." Mo Zhitao's phone rang. He took it out and saw an unfamiliar number.

"Hello," Mo Zhitao said.

"Are you Mo Zhitao from the People's Hospital?" a girl's voice came from the phone.

"Yes, who are you?" Mo Zhitao asked curiously.

He recognized the girl's voice but couldn't remember who it was.

"I'm He Shiyu, the one you treated before. You forgot, didn't you?" the girl said.

"You were the one who tried to molest me on the bus."

Mo Zhitao's forehead turned black. Sister, is that how you talk? He remembered that He Shiyu was the daughter of the district party secretary, He Huaming.

Mo Zhitao had also inquired about He Huaming recently and heard that he would soon be promoted to vice mayor. However, He Shiyu was just his patient, and he wasn't foolish enough to try to build a relationship with He Huaming, as the other party wouldn't look favorably upon him.

"Oh, it's you, Miss He. Is there something you need?" Mo Zhitao asked.

"I want to invite you to dinner tonight. Are you free?" He Shiyu asked.

"You're inviting me to dinner?" Mo Zhitao was taken aback. He Shiyu usually disliked him, so why would she be so kind as to invite him to dinner? If it was really a dinner invitation, it wouldn't be a good meal. Either the food would be poisoned, or there would be a high price to pay.

Thinking about this, Mo Zhitao quickly said, "Miss He, don't be so polite. I don't need you to invite me to dinner."

"Mo Zhitao, don't be ungrateful," He Shiyu said angrily.

"Inviting me to dinner is a sign of respect. If you don't appreciate it, don't blame me for being impolite."

"You must have a reason for inviting me to dinner, right? I'm not a casual person," Mo Zhitao said seriously.

"Do you think I'm casual?" He Shiyu was almost furious, and if she didn't need something from Mo Zhitao, she would have hung up.

Mo Zhitao waved his hand. "No, I wouldn't dare to say anything bad about Miss He. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."

"No, you must come out. I have something to talk to you about," He Shiyu shouted.

Mo Zhitao was also curious about what He Shiyu wanted from him. "Okay, where?"

"At the Blue Moon Cafe," He Shiyu said.

"Alright, I'll be there soon," Mo Zhitao nodded.

Since he had to eat anyway, he wanted to see what He Shiyu wanted from him.

Seeing that Mo Zhitao was about to leave, Lin Zhenqiang asked, "Brother Mo, where are you going? I'll take you."

"No need, you take care of your business. I'll take a taxi," Mo Zhitao shook his head. "Buy the medicine as soon as possible. I'll continue refining the practice pills when I have time tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go see Li Bin tonight and buy the medicine early tomorrow morning," Lin Zhenqiang said.

"If I buy more and go there often, it should be cheaper. The boss will give me a wholesale price."

"Okay," Mo Zhitao left and took a taxi to the Blue Moon Cafe.

Macheng District was like the backyard of Qingmei City, with a developed economy. The construction of the ring highway was underway, and soon the travel time between Qingmei City and Macheng District would be just ten minutes. Many businessmen saw the potential in Macheng District and were moving their investments there.

If He Huaming was transferred to the city as a non-Party Standing Committee vice mayor, it would be a promotion in name but a demotion in reality. Macheng District, a prime piece of land, was being closely watched by many.

Mo Zhitao entered the cafe, and a pretty and cute waitress approached him.

"Sir, do you have a reservation?" the pretty waitress asked.

"Miss, what's your name?" Mo Zhitao looked at the waitress's name tag.

Waitresses usually used nicknames instead of real names, so Mo Zhitao asked deliberately.

"Sir, do you have a reservation?" the waitress blushed, not expecting Mo Zhitao to be so handsome and yet so forward. However, she didn't get angry due to her professional ethics.

"Pervert, over there, stop flirting with the girl," He Shiyu saw Mo Zhitao chatting with the waitress and was furious.

The waitress, hearing He Shiyu call Mo Zhitao, realized he had a reservation and left.

Mo Zhitao came to He Shiyu's side. "Miss He, I've been looking for you but couldn't find you. I didn't expect you to be here."

"Hmph, I already waved at you. You definitely saw me, but you were flirting with the waitress. How can you be so perverted?" He Shiyu thought about how Mo Zhitao was like that, and how he had even peeked under her skirt. Thinking about this, her face turned red.

"Is that so? Sorry, I didn't see you," Mo Zhitao smiled.

After sitting down, the waitress came over again. "Sir, what would you like to eat?" the pretty waitress asked Mo Zhitao.

"Miss, what do you think I should eat?" Mo Zhitao looked up at the waitress.

The waitress was not only beautiful but also had a good figure. Her chest was so full that it made her work uniform bulge, and some of the shirt buttons were even open, revealing a glimpse of her blue bra.

"I, I don't know what you like," the waitress said awkwardly.

This annoying man kept staring at her chest, but it was his freedom, and she couldn't do anything about it.
