    <strong><b>Chapter 42: The Big Restorative Pill, A Long’s Breakthrough </b></strong>


    “Of course, it’s true.”


    “Give me a card number. I’ll transfer three billion to you right now. Where are you? I’lle to you so we can discuss the Beauty Pill in person.”


    “My card number is…” After Ye Chen provided his card number, he hung up the phone.


    Lin Xiyuan acted swiftly, and in a short while, Ye Chen received a transfer of three billion from her. Seeing the receipt notification on his phone, Ye Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief and started to raise his bid.


    “I bid one billion!” With Ye Chen’s words, the previously somewhat noisy venue instantly fell silent.


    Everyone looked at Ye Chen with puzzled expressions, not understanding why he was challenging the tycoon in the ‘Heaven’ private room.


    Ye Chen ignored the gazes of those around him; he was determined to obtain the Great Restoration Pill.


    “Interesting, it seems he borrowed money from Lin Xiyuan,” Jiang Che thoughtfully looked in Ye Chen’s direction, having noticed his phone call earlier.


    He deduced that Ye Chen must have borrowed the money from Lin Xiyuan since Shen Qingqiu had already cklisted Ye Chen’s number.


    Why Lin Xiyuan would lend money to Ye Chen was beyond Jiang Che’s knowledge. Jiang Che checked the bnce on his bank card – his mother, Su Shanshan, gave him one billion in pocket money every month.


    Since his eighteenth birthday, this had been the case, and his predecessor didn’t know how to enjoy life and hardly spent any money, so now he had a bnce of twenty billion.


    “A Long, continue to raise the bid, five billion!” Jiang Che said with a coldugh. Although it felt a bit like being a sucker, the value of the Great Restoration Pill was not as simple as five billion. Besides, what he leastcked was money.


    “Five billion!” The cheongsam-d woman took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her excitement, and looked towards Ye Chen’s direction.


    He was the only onepeting with the ‘Heaven’ private room guest, and she naturally hoped for a higher price. After this auction, she could receive millions inmission, resign, and enjoy life!


    Ye Chen, hearing the bid from the ‘Heaven’ private room, waspletely stunned. How wealthy must this person be to casually offer five billion?


    “Five billion twice…”


    “Five billion three times…”


    “Congrattions to the guest in the ‘Heaven’ private room for winning this item.”


    …


    Inside the ‘Heaven’ private room, Jiang Che received the Great Restoration Pill handed over by the waiter.


    “System, can you scan the properties of this pill?” Jiang Che asked curiously, looking at the pill that was now ck and purple and in a state of disrepair.


    “Yes.”


    “Scan it for me.”


    “Ding, scanning in progress…”


    “The Great Restoration Pill (Iplete, unusable): An ancient alchemical pill made by alchemists to enhance cultivation. Each martial artist can only take it once in their lifetime, instantly gaining ten years of internal strength. It can be used during a breakthrough.”


    “Ding, congrattions to the host for sniping the protagonist’s opportunity, changing the plot, reward: 3000 viin points.”


    “Can you restore it to its original state?” Jiang Che took a deep breath, visibly moved by the description of the Great Restoration Pill’s effects.


    No wonder Ye Chen could break through his limits so quickly after descending the mountain; this pill was indispensable! The five billion spent was worth it!


    “Yes, it requires the host to pay 3000 viin points for restoration.”


    “Pay…”


    “Ding, viin points deducted sessfully, restoration in progress…”


    “Restoration sessful…”


    Soon, Jiang Che held a longan-sized, golden pill exuding a fragrant aroma. “Is this the restored Great Restoration Pill?” Jiang Che examined the pill curiously, but then remembered something.


    Damn, I don’t know how to make pills!


    “System, can you help me with pill refining?”


    “Sure, each pill refinement will cost the host one thousand viin points.”


    “Refine two pills for me!” Jiang Che decided, feeling the pinch as he looked at his dwindling viin points.


    “Two thousand viin points deducted, refining Great Restoration Pills…”


    Before long, Jiang Che had two identical pills in his hand. He kept one and gave the other to A Long.


    “Young Master, what is this?” A Long asked, puzzled.


    “This is a Great Restoration Pill. It can help you break through to the Innate realm. You’ve been stuck at the peak of Dark Energy for several years, right?” Jiang Che exined.


    A Long, of average talent, had barely reached the peak of Dark Energy after decades of training. With his service to Jiang Che, he hardly had time to practice, so this pill was indeed necessary for him.


    “This… Young Master, this pill is too precious. I can’t ept it. What merit do I have to deserve such a pill?” A Long was initially moved but quickly refused Jiang Che’s offer.


    He didn’t doubt Jiang Che’s words; he simply felt unworthy, though his eyes betrayed his eagerness.


    “What are you being so pretentious for? If I tell you to eat it, just eat it!” Jiang Che chided with augh.


    He wasn’t so selfless as to give away such precious pills casually, but if A Long took the pill, he would temporarily have the strength to contend with Ye Chen.


    “Alright, no more dawdling. I’ll protect you while you take it right here.”


    Without further refusal, A Long sat down cross-legged and swallowed the pill, beginning his breakthrough.
