Lin Fan had not been long out of the villa when three sneaky figures jumped over the wall of the Star of Zhonghai Villa compound.

They were all dressed in black sportswear, with masks, sunglasses, and baseball caps, and they were exceptionally tall, but their faces were completely obscured.

The three were carrying a huge backpack, filled with ropes, handcuffs, sacks, and various weapons.

One of the men in black, wearing a baseball cap with an Anta logo, asked the leader, “Sanshui, that guy has already driven off.”

The man known as Sanshui Ge, wearing a hat with a Nike logo, said gravely, “Are you sure he’s gone far away?”

“Our brothers ambushing outside have already sent a message, he’s headed towards the city center, and it’s unlikely he’ll be back anytime soon,” said Tai Shan, with the Anta hat.

“Good, confirm again in five minutes. If his car hasn’t turned back by then, we’ll make our move. Let’s kidnap that little brat of his; then we’ll see if he values his life or his child more,” Sanshui Ge said with a menacing tone.

“Sanshui Ge, isn’t kidnapping a kid a bit too despicable? After all, we are champions of the underground boxing ring. To fight one man, do we need to resort to kidnapping from behind? Just go out and do it in person,” said another big man in black, wearing a Li Ning cap, who seemed a bit dissatisfied with Sanshui Ge’s plan.

Sanshui Ge turned around, glanced at him, then grabbed his collar and asked coldly, “Do you know Su Wujin from the Zhonghai underground boxing ring? He is my junior, and I believe he knocked you out in thirty seconds, didn’t he? My junior couldn’t even last three moves against the owner of this villa!”

In fact, Sanshui Ge was already embellishing the story for Su Wujin; Su Wujin was knocked out in one move by Xu Fan outside the villa, not to mention his Qi Sea was destroyed, and he was forced to say goodbye to the martial artist fraternity altogether.

“Damn, seriously? Isn’t Su Wujin the undefeated champion of the Zhonghai underground boxing ring? How could he be defeated within three moves?”

“The owner of this villa is too damn impressive. Is it too late for me to back out now?”

Chen Miao, also known as Sanshui Ge, slowly swept his gaze over the two men and said coldly, “You can back out, but you must leave behind your hands.”

“I was just asking, no other meaning,” said the big man known as Cong Lin Bao, who had just inquired about backing out, immediately abandoning the idea of retreat.

Cong Lin Bao and Tai Shan, both top competitors in underground boxing matches from other cities, had been brought in by the desperately furious Jin Hui Company, who offered a hefty sum for them, specifically to take revenge on Xu Fan.

And Sanshui Ge, Chen Miao, hated Xu Fan to the bone. His two juniors, Su Wujin and Liu Simu, had their legs broken by Xu Fan and their martial arts crippled. If Chen Miao didn’t seek revenge, their school would lose all face. They might as well close shop and stop roaming the martial world.

However, through his juniors’ accounts, Chen Miao knew that Xu Fan’s martial prowess was extraordinarily strong, rendering a head-on conflict inadvisable. But Xu Fan had an obvious weakness – his daughter.

If they couldn’t defeat Xu Fan, they certainly couldn’t lose to a four- or five-year-old child.

Once the child was in their hands, they could then nibble away at Xu Fan step by step.

“Tai Shan, five minutes are up, that guy’s car hasn’t returned, so we’re safe for the next five minutes,” Tai Shan received the message from the lookout outside and relayed it to San Shui Bro.

“Good, follow me up. Boss Song said that if we pull it off today, each of you will get a million in reward,” San Shui Bro waved his hand and pointed coldly towards Xu Fan’s villa.

Upon hearing about the reward, their eyes lit up, and their courage greatly bolstered, they swiftly charged towards the villa.

Meanwhile, Xu Fan left the villa, driving his Audi S7 towards the city center.

He had searched online and found that within Zhonghai City’s herbal medicine industry, the oldest and most reputable store was Zhi Shen Tang. Although its storefront wasn’t the largest in Zhonghai, when it came to medicinal herbs, it was absolutely the best in Zhonghai City.

It took Xu Fan over ten minutes to arrive at Zhi Shen Tang. Parking his car, he walked into the antique-decorated Zhi Shen Tang.

As soon as he stepped inside, a strong scent of medicinal herbs enveloped him; Xu Fan, a master alchemist in his past life, possessed an exceptional understanding of medicinal herbs and was able to identify the components of over a dozen herbs just by their smell.

Whether the prices in this store were reasonable, Xu Fan didn’t know, but the goods were definitely genuine.

Entering the herb shop, Xu Fan saw an old man dressed in a white, traditional long robe, engrossed in an old thread-bound book, reading with relish.

While reading, he also quietly chanted out loud, “Heaven covers and Earth supports, all things thus begin to live. Those not yet emerged from the Earth, are called the Yin within Yin; those that have emerged, are termed the Yang within Yin.”

He seemed to be so immersed in his reading that he didn’t notice Xu Fan’s arrival. After reciting this passage, he had a thoughtful expression on his face and slowly mumbled to himself, “How exactly is this imbalance of Yin and Yang manifested?”

Hearing the man’s words, Xu Fan spoke out loud, “Yang is the energy of Heaven, governing the exterior; Yin is the energy of Earth, governing the interior. Therefore, Yang is fullness, Yin is emptiness. Those who suffer from thieving winds and deficient evil are attacked by Yang; those who eat and drink without moderation, and who live without regularity, are attacked by Yin. If Yang is affected, it penetrates the six hollow organs; if Yin is affected, it penetrates the five solid organs. When the six hollow organs are affected, there’s feverishness and restlessness, leading to panting and calling. When the five solid organs are affected, there’s distension and obstruction, leading to diarrhea, and in chronic cases, intestinal leakage. Therefore, the throat governs the energy of Heaven, the pharynx governs the energy of Earth. Hence, when attacked by the energy of wind, Yang is affected; when attacked by the energy of dampness, Yin is affected. The energy of Yin travels from the feet upwards to the head, then downwards along the arms to the fingertips. The energy of Yang travels from the hands upwards to the head, then downwards to the feet. Thus it is said, ‘Diseases of Yang ascend and then descend; diseases of Yin descend and then ascend.’ Hence, those who suffer from wind are first affected in the upper body; those who suffer from dampness are first affected in the lower body.”

What Xu Fan said were the symptoms displayed after the imbalance of Yin and Yang. He drew upon the medical knowledge he had used in his past life for alchemy, and seeing the shopkeeper deep in thought, he spoke the answer without hesitation.

“Diseases of Yang ascend and then descend, diseases of Yin descend and then ascend! Wonderful, wonderful, it’s truly magnificent. I’ve finally understood it!” The old man behind the counter, dressed in a long robe, stroked his long beard, his face suddenly enlightened.

“Where are you from, sir, to be so proficient in the Qi Huang Technique? Your words have enlightened someone in their dreams today; I truly admire you,” the old man saw Xu Fan standing in front of the counter, bowed slightly and spoke with respect.

“I’m just here to buy some medicine,” Xu Fan spread his hands, speaking calmly, “I saw the old man studying ancient medicine, and I thought of what I had learned before, so I couldn’t help but say it out loud.”

“To buy medicine, well, for your understanding of ancient medicine, I will prioritize the supply of medicinal herbs to you here, and moreover, the price will be ten percent cheaper than for others.”
