“If I can invest some money and mass-produce the potions, we’ll be earning billions if not trillions. No problem.”
Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard this.
Tang Hao set his chopsticks aside and replied, “I’d love to, but it’s not that easy. The recipes require certain rare medicinal herbs, so the supply of ingredients is already a problem.
“The next problem is manufacturing. It requires some peculiar steps in the process, and I can’t replicate it into the big scale any time soon.”
“Oh, is that so? Too bad!” Everyone looked disappointed.
“It’s fine then. Lil Tang, you can make more and we’ll promote this for you. You can still easily make seven or eight figures out of this,” Liu Dajun said.
“I’ll have to thank all my Big Bros in advance!” Tang Hao replied gratefully.
“Don’t mention it!” Liu Dajun slapped his chest and said intensely, “Come, Lil Tang, let’s toast.”
He stood up from his seat and toasted Tang Hao.
Ninth Elder Ma, who had been silent all this while, spoke abruptly. “Little Brother Tang, I see that your potions are made from pure medicinal herbs. Your ancestors must be Chinese physicians!”
Tang Hao was taken aback. His ancestors were humble peasant farmers from the village and not Chinese physicians. If he agreed with him, and if someday these people went to Tang Village and traced his origins, the jig would be up.
He thought about it for a bit, then shook his head. “That’s not the case. Well, to be honest, these aren’t actually recipes from my ancestors. Rather, I’ve serendipitously found several medical texts from ancient times in the mountains. I studied them thoroughly and concocted these potions.”
“Oh, is that the case?” President Biao and the others looked surprised.
Ninth Elder Mawas also surprised. “Ancient medical texts? That means you should know some medical skills too?”
“A bit!” Tang Hao replied humbly.
The Scripture of the Divine Herbalist was not only an encyclopedia of herbalism but was also a medical text without comparison. In its introduction of the myriad medicinal herbs, it had also described the ways to cure many diseases and ills.
Everyone suddenly had a newfound respect for Tang Hao.
They had originally thought that Tang Hao had learned the potion recipes through his elders, and knew how to make these potions from his knowledge of herbalism. They did not expect him to know medical skills as well.
They believed that those who practiced medicine were of a noble profession. Thus, they regarded doctors with respect.
Qin Xiangyi’s eyes also brightened when she learned of this fact.
“Excuse me for my ignorance!” Ninth Elder Ma stood up and raised a cupped fist as a greeting to Tang Hao.
“You’re too kind, Ninth Elder!” Tang Hao returned the greeting.
“Eh! Lil Tang, my shoulder has been acting up these few days. The pain won’t go away. The problem has been plaguing me for the longest time. Do you have any cure for that?” Tang Changfeng said.
“It might be a frozen shoulder?” Tang Hao said.
“Right, that’s the one! It’s been causing me a lot of trouble!” Tang Changfeng replied.
Tang Hao pondered for a moment, then said, “That’s simple. Won’t take too long to cure.”
“Really?” Tang Changfeng was not ready to believe him yet.
Frozen shoulder was not a complicated trouble, but it was persistent. It usually took months or even years to recover. How was it possible that he could cure it in a short time?
Even Ninth Elder Ma looked at him with suspicion.
Tang Hao stood from his seat and said, “If you don’t believe me, then I’ll provide the treatment right now! It won’t take too long anyway!”
As he spoke, he walked behind Tang Changfeng.
“How are you going to treat me?” Tang Changfeng looked puzzled.
“With my hands, of course. Sit tight, Big Bro Tang!” Tang Hao stretched out his arms and wiggled his fingers. Then, he placed his palms on Tang Changfeng’s shoulders.
He inhaled lightly to activate the qi in his body, then channeled it to his palms.
A short while later, his fingers started to move. They pinched the shoulders in varying degrees of strength.
Tang Changfeng felt that the hands-on his shoulders were boiling hot. A warm current coursed through his body and was very comfortable.
Tang Hao stopped a few minutes later. Tang Changfeng was hoping that it was not over yet, and looked disappointed when he realized that it was.
“I’m done, Big Bro Tang!” Tang Hao pulled his hands away, “Try moving a little.”
“Lil Tang, your massaging skills are amazing! Where did you learn that? I feel so comfortable after the massage like I’ve grown a few years younger!”
Tang Changfeng stood from his seat and stretched his limbs.
A look of surprise came over his face. “Oh? It doesn’t hurt anymore. It’s cured! It’s really cured!” Tang Changfeng looked ecstatic. He turned around and passionately grabbed Tang Hao’s hands.
“Amazing! You’re a legend!”
Liu Dajun still looked doubtful. “Is it really cured, Ol’ Tang?”
“It’s cured. Totally cured. I don’t feel any more discomfort. I feel very energetic too, like I’m a few years younger.” Tang Changfeng exclaimed.
“What? He’s that amazing?” Liu Dajun slapped his thigh and looked shocked.
The other people were also speechless. This sounded impossible. Did he cure Tang Changfeng’s frozen shoulder just by rubbing and massaging?
In the past, they would scoff at such a claim.
However, this was Brother Tang they were looking at. If he could concoct such amazing potions, then he could as well be equipped with amazing massaging skills.
Furthermore, Ol’ Tang did not look like he was lying.
“Damn son, you’re a legend, Brother Tang!” Liu Dajun exclaimed.
President Biao laughed and said, “I just know that our Brother Tang here is full of hidden talents!”
“Little Brother Tang, I must admit that you have opened my eyes!” Ninth Elder Ma stood from his seat. “So can you cure my legs and my back? They’ve been giving me problems”
“And me too, Lil Tang! I’ve been feeling tightness in my chest lately…”
“Me too, Lil Tang, look at this bald spot on my scalp. Is there some amazing hair growth potion for that?”
President Huang, President Li and the rest scrambled from their seats.

“No rush, one by one please!” Tang Hao said hastily.
“Ninth Elder, your waist and leg problems are simple to treat. I’ll just massage them for you and they should be cured in no time. You ought to take more nutritional supplements at your age.”
Tang Hao thought for a moment, then continued. “How about this. Some other day I’ll concoct a potion to strengthen your body and improve your health. I guarantee that you’ll feel a lot stronger after taking it.”
“Alright! Alright! Thank you Little Brother Tang!” Ninth Elder Ma said delightedly.
Then, Tang Hao turned toward President Huang.
President Huang’s hair was thin and he had a bald spot in the middle of his scalp. This was the typical case of male pattern baldness.
President Huang looked sincerely at Tang Hao. “Lil Tang, do you think you can do something about my hair?”
Tang Hao thought about it for a bit. He remembered that the Scripture of the Divine Herbalist had an entry on herbs that promoted hair growth. He nodded, and said, “It’s curable. I’ll concoct a potion for you another day.”
“That’s good news!” President Huang breathed a long sigh of relief. He looked grateful.
His baldness had plagued him for the longest time. He had taken many different types of medications and tried dif
ferent alternative treatment methods, though none bore any effect. He was anxious about losing his hair bit by bit every day.
Tang Hao’s reply gave him a ray of hope.
“Lil Tang, come, a toast to you!” President Huang brought him a cup of liquor and toasted him.
Following that, Tang Hao diagnosed the problems for the rest of the party.
Body pains like the frozen shoulder could be treated on the spot by massaging, as for the other ills, Tang Hao had their cures, though he needed to concoct their potions at home.
“Lil Tang, you’re a miracle worker!” Liu Dajun clung to him and did not stop pouring liquor for him.
Tang Hao used to be bad with alcohol. However, as a cultivator, he could stomach this bit of liquor without feeling ill. He drank cup after cup and his face did not change color. President Biao and the rest were amazed when they saw that.
After dinner, they chatted for a little while longer before going home.
Before they left, President Huang and the rest asked for Tang Hao’s bank account. They all transferred some money to him. The least was ten thousand and the most was fifty thousand. In the blink of an eye, Tang Hao was richer by another two hundred thousand yuan and some more.
Tang Hao watched as the transfer notifications appeared on his phone. If this was before, he would have been ecstatic. Now that he was used to receiving huge amounts of cash, he remained composed.
President Biao was a little tipsy. Tang Hao walked him to his car while Wu Yanyan drove it away.
“Lil Tang, follow me!” Qin Xiangyi said with a gentle voice while looking at him.
She stood straight while clutching her handbag. The lights behind her illuminated her face in dreamy colors.
At this moment, she was hauntingly beautiful, and Tang hao was dazed for a long time as he looked at her.
He came to his senses a while later, and he was blushing.
Qin Xiangyi chuckled. This chuckle was like the blooming of a flower, and there were no words to describe that beauty. It felt like the night sky brightened.
Tang Hao scratched the back of his head, and he felt awkward.
“Let’s go!”
Qin Xiangyi covered her mouth and smiled. She flicked her luscious hair, then turned and walked toward her car.
Tang Hao jogged and caught up to her.
“Lil Tang, I realize that I don’t know you that well. I didn’t expect that you would know such amazing medical skills. You have such great talents, so why are you still delivering packages?”
Qin Xiangyi turned to look at Tang Hao. Her charming eyes reflected an indescribable mystery behind them.
“To make a living! But now that I’m earning quite a bit from the potions, I should be quitting the job sometime soon,” Tang Hao replied.
“That makes sense. Maybe you can concoct some more beauty enhancement cream and pass it to me then. I’ll sell whatever you give me,” Qin Xiangyi said.
“Thank you, Sis Xiangyi.”
“Eh! You don’t have to be so polite!”
Both of them wandered on the streets, chatting while walking toward nowhere in particular. An hour later, they returned by the original path.
“I’ll send you back!” Qin Xiangyi pointed at her Ferrari and told Tang Hao as they entered the Beyond Heaven Restaurant parking lot.
“It’s fine. It’s already so late. I’ll go home by myself! It’s quite far from here to Tang Village, and you’ll waste a lot of time on the return trip,” Tang Hao said, “I’ll just take a cab.”
“Hm…” Qin Xiangyi thought for a while, then nodded and walked toward her sports car.
Just then, a few black cars entered the parking lot. The tires screeched loudly as they braked in front of the two people.
The car doors opened, and several burly men with intimidating faces got out. They looked like they were inviting trouble.
Tang Hao’s face changed color. He scanned his surroundings, a little confused about what was going on. He noticed that the car in the middle was especially luxurious, and looked like it was the leader’s car.
The car door opened. Out came a middle-aged man who looked to be about thirty years old. He was well-built and his face was harsh. He had a knife scar on his left cheek which added to his viciousness.
“So you’re the pretty boy?” He glared at Tang Hao when he stepped out of the car. His gaze was like a ferocious wolf. “You’re a brave one. I, Chen Sandao, had never had my woman snatched from me before.”
Tang Hao furrowed his brows and looked at Qin Xiangyi.
Qin Xiangyi’s face was cold. She chided, “Chen Sandao, you had better be more respectful. I, Qin Xiangyi, had never had any relationship with you. I’ve told you many times, stop bothering me.”
Tang Hao understood after listening to what Qin Xiangyi said. This man was one of Sis Xiangyi’s pursuers.
Chen Sandao’s face twitched and he looked even more vicious. “Xiangyi, you are my only love. Why don’t you ever understand that? You’d rather fall for pretty boys like this and not accept me?
“Tell me! Which part of me cannot compare to this pretty boy!”
“Just give up already, Chen Sandao! I will never like you,” Qin Xiangyi said insistently.
“You… you ****! I’m only doing you a favor by loving you. If you reject my love, then there’s no reason for me to be courteous!” Chen Sandao was enraged. His expression was savage.
“Cripple this pretty boy! If I can’t get her, nobody else can,” he shouted his orders to his minions around him.
“You dare, Chen Sandao?” Qin Xiangyi began to panic.
“Hmph! Why not? Don’t you like this pretty boy? I’ll cripple him in front of your face!”
“Chen Sandao, don’t be rash. There’s nothing between me and him.”
“Nothing between? Who are you bluffing? You’re so protective of him. Stupid ****, you think I’m an idiot? Go! Go teach this boy a lesson now!” He yelled.
The burly men received their orders and closed around Tang Hao.
“How dare you!” Qin Xiangyi screamed as she stood in front of Tang Hao.
Chen Sandao became angrier when he saw this. His heart burned with the fire of jealousy.
“Beat him up! Break his arms and legs, then ruin his face. I’ll see who dares touch my woman from now on,” he roared viciously.
“Run, Lil Tang!” Qin Xiangyi screamed. Her face was full of panic and helplessness. “I’m sorry for dragging you into this!”
She sounded like she was about to cry.
Tang Hao stood there, he remained composed.
“Why aren’t you running away?” Qin Xiangyi was becoming more agitated.
Tang Hao smiled. He reached out to grab her shoulder and comforted her, “Don’t worry, Sis Xiangyi. It’s just a bunch of hooligans!”
Qin Xiangyi was shocked. Her eyes were wide open as she looked at him.
‘Just… a bunch of hooligans?’
‘What is he saying? Didn’t he see the size of this group? There are at least twenty people here. Each one of them is bigger and stronger than he is, and they don’t like they would be showing any mercy. How can he fight them all?
“Don’t worry, Sis Xiangyi!”
Tang Hao patted her shoulder, then took off his coat and handed it to her.
“Please hold on to this, I’ll be back soon.”
After that, he cracked his neck and coolly stepped forward.
Chapter 18

“Hahaha, this son of a b*tch is mad!”
“Just a bunch of hooligans? Haha, this kid is mad! Let me be the first to fight. I’ll break one of his arms first so that he’ll kneel and beg for mercy.”
The burly men burst out with unbridled laughter.
This kid could not have looked more than eighteen, but he wanted to fight all of them alone. This was perhaps the funniest joke they had ever heard in their lives.
Tang H
ao casually stepped forward, cracked the bones in his neck and loosened his necktie.
His face became serious and even looked ice-cold.
He had never been so angry in his life. This group of people had threatened to cripple him and even insulted Sis Xiangyi in front of his face.
“Unforgivable!” He said to himself, and his gaze turned colder.
“I’ll beat up you, stupid kid!” one of the men roared then raised a fist and aimed it at Tang Hao’s face.
His cruel face displayed a hint of glee. He knew that this fist will draw blood on the kid’s face. He could even already hear the agonized cries of this kid.
He did not expect the boy in front of him to be so composed. It was even a little scary.
In a flash, he looked upward, and his eyes were as sharp as lightning, and struck the souls of his opponent.
Then, as swift as lightning, he delivered a kick.
Bang!
A dull thud.
His kick landed on the man’s chin.
The man became unconscious. Her brain became blank, and the next thing he knew he was flying in the air. Then, he fell heavily on the ground.
Everyone was shocked at that instant.
All the burly men standing around him looked at them with bulging eyes as they saw that hulking body fly backward for two meters and land on the ground.
Hiss!
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
The expressions of the burly men looked as if they had just seen a ghost.
“F*ck, what the hell?”
“He sent that person flying with one kick. Is this kid human?”
Chen Sandao could not look away. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
“How could this be… how could this be…” He mumbled as his face became contorted.
Meanwhile, Qin Xiangyi standing by the side was also shocked. Her eyes were opened wide and her hands covered her mouth as she screamed.
Tang Hao remained composed. He retracted his leg and dusted his trousers.
