Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate

"..."

Once Lai Peng finished speaking, his face was etched with a mournful expression.

"Experiencing attacks and bodily contraction?"

"Veins throughout the body coiling like gnarled tree roots?"

Upon hearing Lai Peng's account, Lin Feng was abruptly inspired by a thought.

He had come across such symptoms in the Thousand Green Pill Heart Records before.

Remarkably, that wasn't even indicative of Qi Deviation...

"What's the matter?"

"Can you truly cure the president?"

Observing Lin Feng's pensive expression, Lai Peng inquired.

"Well."

"I need to conduct a more thorough diagnosis to confirm. Can you take me to see the president of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce?"

Lin Feng remained prudent and refrained from making any promises without further examination.

"About that."

"I'm uncertain if President Du Bailei would be willing to meet you, so why not appraise these items first?"

Lai Peng offered a sheepish smile, aware that his standing within the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce was insufficient to casually arrange a meeting with the president.

"Alright."

"Of these five items, I've already identified three."

"They are, respectively, the Easy Spirit Pinecone, the Three-Leafed Yin Soul Grass, and the Aconite Snake Pattern Flower."

"However, I'm afraid I can't determine the pill furnace and the bottle."

Lin Feng relayed his findings to Lai Peng.

"What!"

"You truly identified them!"

"And you even discerned three of them! Are you certain you're not fabricating this?"

Lai Peng gazed at Lin Feng in astonishment. He had merely wanted Lin Feng to attempt identification, and even if he had failed, Lai Peng would have accepted the outcome.

To his surprise, Lin Feng had genuinely appraised three of the items.

"These are the properties of the three spiritual plants."

"You may have an experienced alchemist confirm my conclusions."

Confidently, Lin Feng inscribed the properties of the three spiritual plants on the sheet of paper containing his assessment results.

"Wow!"

Lai Peng couldn't help but express his admiration, "It appears that you've genuinely identified these three treasures!"

Lin Feng had successfully demonstrated his expertise; however, due to Jiang Chen's interference, the results were significantly undervalued, and the rewards he received were minimal.

"By the way."

"When can you arrange for me to meet the president of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce?"

Lin Feng inquired, nodding his head.

"Allow me to inquire!"

"You've managed to identify these three treasures that have eluded the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce for years. It's quite probable that you'll be granted an audience with President Du Bailei."

Lai Peng nodded and promptly initiated contact with his connections to organize a meeting with President Du Bailei.

Simultaneously.

At the temporary encampment of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce, outside the three-story white edifice.

Jiang Chen, Ning Xian, and Qiu Liaoxi continued to saunter about.

Even while doing so.

Jiang Chen was not merely wandering aimlessly!

Upon discovering that President Du Bailei of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce was ailing and potentially the patient Lin Feng intended to treat, Jiang Chen incessantly pondered ways to thwart this scheme.

As he reflected during their walk.

He devised a strategy to convince Qiu Liaoxi to attempt treating President Du Bailei instead.

Allowing Lin Feng to be sabotaged by his own people!

Although it seemed that only Lin Feng could cure President Du Bailei's illness.

Even Qiu Liaoxi was incapable of treating the ailment.

However.

As long as Qiu Liaoxi could accurately diagnose President Du Bailei's condition.

Jiang Chen remained confident that he could acquire the requisite treasures from the system mall and heal him!

Furthermore.

Lin Feng had also sought an audience with President Du Bailei of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce in hopes of having the opportunity to treat him.

Initially.

He had shone brilliantly at the appraisal event, capturing the attention of numerous high-ranking members of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce, which greatly facilitated his approach to President Du Bailei.

Nonetheless, Jiang Chen's maneuver had an impact!

Lin Feng was left to rely on Lai Peng, a relatively low-ranking member of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce, to schedule a meeting with President Du Bailei.

During this endeavor, they might cross paths with some upper-level members of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce.

Hence.

Jiang Chen purposefully sent a message to his uncle, Jiang Xingtai, requesting that he monitor the senior members of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce.

Should someone seek to arrange a meeting with the president through these high-ranking members for the purpose of treating his ailment, efforts would be made to hinder their progress.

At this moment.

"Is this the encampment of the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce?"

Ning Xian glanced at the bustling small building before her and hesitated, "Do we truly need to seek an audience with the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce president?"

"Yes."

"I've heard that their president has been unwell, and since Master Qiu's medical expertise is remarkable, I considered asking her to give it a try."

"If Master Qiu could heal him, it would benefit both Master Qiu and me!"

Jiang Chen offered a faint smile and nodded towards Ning Xian and Qiu Liaoxi.

"Alright!"

"Lin Feng requires numerous spiritual plants. If we manage to treat the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce president, we'll be able to purchase more spiritual plants at a more advantageous price."

Qiu Liaoxi nodded and clasped her hands before Jiang Chen, "In that case, we must trouble Young Master Jiang."

Without Jiang Chen,

It would undoubtedly be a daunting task for them to meet the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce President.

"Then let's proceed!"

Jiang Chen chuckled softly, leading Ning Xian and Qiu Liaoxi onward.

"Young Master Jiang Chen!"

The female servant who had previously encountered Jiang Chen promptly approached to welcome him.

"Haha."

"I've heard that the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce President is unwell, so I've brought two experts in the field of alchemy to assist. They will undoubtedly restore him to full health!"

Jiang Chen brought his hands together and addressed the female servant.

"I understand!"

"I'll go report this to the higher-ups immediately!"

The female servant's face lit up with comprehension before she excused herself to relay the information to her superiors.

In reality,

Numerous people were aware that the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce President was unwell, and many sought to treat him.

When they arrived, they were confident and made grand promises.

Yet,

In the end, they were all powerless and left empty-handed.

As a result,

The majority of those who wished to attempt treating the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce President faced rejection.

However, Jiang Chen's status was exceptional.

Thus, the female servant reported the matter to the higher-ups with utmost respect.

Shortly thereafter,

The female servant reemerged, smiling as she said, "The President's condition has already improved somewhat. Upon learning that Young Master Jiang Chen has returned with expert alchemists, he was quite pleased and requests that Young Master Jiang Chen meet with him right away."

In truth,

The White Mountain Chamber of Commerce President didn't believe that the individuals Jiang Chen had brought could cure him.

However, many senior members of the Chamber of Commerce and the Jiang Clan had recently become close allies.

Furthermore, this marked Jiang Chen's second visit, and his accompaniment of alchemists demonstrated his concern.

Regardless of whether the ailment could be remedied, the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce held a favorable impression of Jiang Chen.

As a result,

He promptly agreed to meet with Jiang Chen.

"Excellent!"

"Please guide us!"

Jiang Chen nodded, smiling.

Shortly after,

Led by the female servant,

Jiang Chen, Ning Xian, and Qiu Liaoxi arrived at a serene chamber on the third floor.

They observed a man enshrouded in a black robe, his figure tall and slender.

This man was none other than the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce President.

'Villain's Eye!'

With a mere thought, Jiang Chen activated his ability, and the other individual's character panel materialized before him. Indeed, he was a supporting character!

[Name: Du Bailei

Realm: Early-stage Mysterious Platform

Status: Supporting character

Fate Value: 682]

'Mysterious Platform Realm!'

'I didn't anticipate Du Bailei would actually be a Mysterious Platform Realm cultivator.'

'The most powerful individual in all of Autumn Glory City is merely at the Mysterious Platform Realm. It appears that this person must be Lin Feng's competent aide.'

'...'

Jiang Chen examined Du Bailei's character panel, his thoughts swirling.

Just then, in that instant.
