Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

Li Dazhu grew up with Ye Ling as childhood friends, both raised in the same village.

Ye Ling's hometown is in a county-level city affiliated with Donghai City, namely Lan City, in Fenghua Town, Lanshan Village.

Despite the development of Donghai City, Lanshan Village is frankly just a small ravine.

Ye Ling still has parents, though his father is a stepfather.

Ye Ling's biological father died in a car accident, and it was only the year before last that his mother married his stepfather.

Of course, that was the life story of the former Ye Ling.

However, the current Ye Ling, having had no parents in his past life, could now experience what it feels like to have parents.

"If I have time, I really should go back and see them," Ye Ling said to himself, picking up the phone and trying to sound very familiar as he chuckled, "Dazhu, when was the last time you called me, huh?"

"Lingzi, I've been busy with the greenhouse stuff lately, I haven't had the time!" Li Dazhu laughed heartily.

"Haha, how's the greenhouse coming along?" Ye Ling asked with a laugh.

Li Dazhu replied, "Not bad, it's just that someone backed out on a piece of land again, we're still negotiating."

"Well, that's good."

Ye Ling smiled and then said, "When are you coming to the city? I'll treat you, and we can have a good meal together."

"Let's talk about it when I have time, I'm so busy these days I simply can't get away. If you're free, come back home to see, your mom, she..."

At this point, Li Dazhu hastily stopped.

Ye Ling frowned, "What about my mom?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing, let's talk when you have time," Li Dazhu said as he was about to hang up.

"Wait!"

Ye Ling called out, "Dazhu, we've known each other for more than a year or two, right? Spit it out, don't hide anything from me. If you keep this up, I'll stop recognizing you as my brother."

Li Dazhu sighed and said, "Lingzi, you've been away at school these years and don't know much about what's going on at home. You know Zhao Qiang likes to drink, and since you left for school, he's been drinking and gambling heavily, racking up quite a bit of debt outside. When your mom tries to say a few words to him, he... he hits her."

Ye Ling frowned, even though this woman wasn't his biological mother, after all, he had taken over the body of the former Ye Ling.

Moreover, after the fusion of their souls, those emotions had also transferred to the current Ye Ling.

Upon hearing his mother had been hit, Ye Ling immediately became angry, "Did he hit my mom again?"

"Yes, a few days ago some people came to collect debts and smashed your house to pieces, and that bastard Zhao Qiang took it out on your mom, almost breaking her hand," Li Dazhu said.

Ye Ling's mother didn't want Ye Ling to know about this, fearing that it would distract him from dealing with his own issues.

Li Dazhu thought Ye Ling was aware of this matter and accidentally let it slip in the moment.

"That bastard!"

Ye Ling said through clenched teeth, "Dazhu, look after my mom for the next few days, don't let Zhao Qiang hit her again. I'll come home on Monday."

"Alright, you do your thing, I'll take care of your aunt," Li Dazhu said.

Li Dazhu added, "And another thing..."

"What?" asked Ye Ling.

"Qiao Lixue has come back, she said she wants to see you."

"Qiao Lixue?"

Ye Ling's brow furrowed once more.

Like Ye Ling and Li Dazhu, Qiao Lixue was from the same village and the trio grew up playing together.

During middle and high school, Qiao Lixue and Ye Ling dated for a few years.

Later on, the two attended different universities.

After starting university, Qiao Lixue began to lose touch with Ye Ling, and eventually, it was Li Dazhu who somehow found out that Qiao Lixue had a new love.

Regarding this, Ye Ling was also greatly affected back then and got dead drunk for three days.

But all these were things of the former Ye Ling.

Sometimes Ye Ling would think, this guy was truly unlucky, having had two relationships, both ending disastrously, and just when he was about to accept Lin Yuqing, he got struck dead by lightning, allowing me to step in first.

"She still wants to see me?"

Ye Ling chuckled coldly and said, "Interesting, but I do want to see what she's like now."

"She came back with her boyfriend. Seems like her boyfriend is quite rich, driving a BMW, but that arrogant demeanor, it's really annoying," Li Dazhu said.

"That's their business if they're wealthy; it has nothing to do with us."

Ye Ling said, "Alright, I'll be back on Monday. I'll come find you then."

"Mhm, I'll be waiting for you!"

After hanging up the phone, Ye Ling muttered to himself, "This silly fellow is still pretty loyal."

He shook his head, made himself a bit of lunch, and then continued crafting elixir pills.

By five o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Ling had crafted another three batches of cold elixirs and Menstrual Pills, totalling 118, and together with the morning's batch, a full 238 pills.

After selling these elixir pills, he would have at least 300,000.

Looking at the remaining herbs, Ye Ling mumbled, "I should go buy some medicine. What's left can last at most another day."

Packing up the elixir pills, Ye Ling took a portion and left the villa, heading toward the Global Financial Center.

Upon arriving, Ye Ling was taken aback.

He saw crowds of people gathered at the entrance of Building 18, as if they were waiting for something.

"What happened?"

Ye Ling was about to go over and watch the commotion when suddenly, a young man yelled, "There he is, he's here!"

Suddenly, everyone's gaze turned to Ye Ling.

Ye Ling's eyes widened, wondering if he had somehow offended anyone. What was this all about?

"Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye, I need a Menstrual Pill."

"I want a cold elixir, I want a cold elixir!"

"I also want a cold elixir, here's 1000 yuan."

The crowd immediately swarmed toward Ye Ling.

Hearing this, Ye Ling eased his mind and thought to himself that they were just here to buy elixir pills, that gave him quite a scare.

"Don't rush, don't rush, there's enough for everyone."

Ye Ling smiled happily; with such a god of wealth, of course, he had to serve them well!

If it were any other place, there really wouldn't be many people catching colds in the summer.

But in a city like Donghai City, completely shrouded in smog, catching a cold had become commonplace, and every instance could be severe, with coughs and fevers being all too common.

As for irregular menstruation...

That was even more frequent, not limited to any season.

Irregular menstruation might be innate.

But more often than not, it could be due to poor hygiene or sleeping with various men, leading to bacterial infections.

While Ye Ling's Menstrual Pill could cure them now and prevent future occurrences,

if they couldn't control their urges and cheated on their boyfriends, they would still suffer relapses.

So, this wasn't a one-time deal.

Looking at the thronging crowd, Ye Ling even thought to himself that maybe he should open an elixir pill store?

"Forget it, with only these two types of elixir pills, I should at least wait until reaching the Innate Realm. By then, I could develop dozens of elixir pills," Ye Ling thought to himself.
