Su Chen was sorting medicinal materials in the clinic when the rich second-generation Wang Haoxuan quietly walked in with a look of excitement and nervousness on his face.

"Brother Su, I have good news to tell you." Wang Haoxuan looked around and said in a low voice after confirming that there was no one else around.

Su Chen didn't even raise his head and continued to sort the herbs in his hand: "Go ahead."

"I took the medicine you prescribed and went to the hospital for a comprehensive checkup yesterday. The doctor said my physical condition is much better than before, and those problems are basically gone." Wang Haoxuan said excitedly, but then his expression turned serious. "However, I also heard another piece of news."

Su Chen then raised his head and looked at Wang Haoxuan: "What news?"

"Fang Shuwen has found a master to deal with you. He's said to be a Muay Thai champion from Silla, named Park Ji-yong. I heard this guy has never been defeated in the underground boxing ring and is extremely ruthless." Wang Haoxuan said worriedly, "Brother Su, you must be careful."

Su Chen smiled faintly and continued to sort the herbs: "No matter who comes, the result will be the same, only death."

These understated words instantly dispelled Wang Haoxuan's worries, replaced by deeper admiration. In his eyes, Su Chen was like an unshakable mountain that could not be shaken by any storm.

"Brother Su, you're amazing." Wang Haoxuan said sincerely, "If I hadn't met you, my life would be ruined."

Su Chen suddenly stopped what he was doing, turned around and looked at Wang Haoxuan, his eyes becoming serious: "Haoxuan, I'm warning you, you must control your lustful thoughts. If you continue like this, you won't live past thirty."

Wang Haoxuan was shocked, remembering his previous ridiculous behavior, and immediately knelt down: "Brother Su, I swear, from now on, I will turn over a new leaf and never mess around with other women again."

"Get up." Su Chen stretched out his hand and helped Wang Haoxuan up. "Remember what you said today. Don't let me down."

"Brother Su, I will never let you down." Wang Haoxuan nodded firmly, with unprecedented determination flashing in his eyes.

Su Chen watched Wang Haoxuan leave and nodded secretly in his heart. Although this rich second generation had some bad experiences before, he was not a bad person by nature. As long as he was properly guided, there was still hope for his future.

In the afternoon, Su Chen came to the Liu family's old house.

"Grandpa, let me see how your body is recovering." Su Chen walked into Grandpa Liu's room and began to take his pulse.

Mr. Liu's pulse was much more stable than before, but he still needed to continue to regulate it. Su Chen pondered for a moment and wrote a new prescription.

"This prescription is milder than the previous one, but the effect will be better." Su Chen handed the prescription to Liu Hong, "Prescribe the medicine according to this prescription. Remember, every herb must be of the best quality."

"Okay, Mr. Su." Liu Hong took the prescription and immediately arranged for his servants to get the medicine.

An hour later, the servant returned with the herbs. Su Chen checked them over, his brow furrowed.

"These herbs are all artificially cultivated. Their efficacy is too poor to achieve any therapeutic effect." Su Chen shook his head. "The quality of herbs on the market is getting worse and worse. It's too difficult to find real wild herbs."

After hearing this, Liu Hong pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Su, I remember there is a Chinese herbal medicine market not far from this city. I think you can find some wild medicinal herbs there."

"Then let's go and take a look." Su Chen nodded in agreement, "We'll go there tomorrow."

Liu Ying happened to walk in and heard their conversation. She took the initiative to say, "Mr. Su, I'm more familiar with that market. Why don't I go with you?"

Su Chen looked at Liu Ying and nodded in agreement: "Okay, thank you for your help."

Liu Ying was delighted, but her face remained calm: "It's not a problem, this is what I should do."

The next morning, Su Chen and Liu Ying drove to the Chinese herbal medicine trading market.

Located on the outskirts of the city, this market covers a large area, with stalls selling various medicinal herbs densely packed together. The air is filled with the rich aroma of herbs, which is refreshing.

"Mr. Su, there are many kinds of medicinal materials here, but the quality varies and needs to be carefully selected." Liu Ying introduced from the side.

Su Chen nodded and began to walk around the stalls, carefully observing each medicinal herb.

"Boss, how much is this ginseng?" a middle-aged man asked in front of the stall.

"This is authentic wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain, a full fifty years old. Look how complete the roots are, and how good the appearance is," the stall owner enthusiastically explained. "The original price was eighteen thousand yuan, but you have good taste. Take it for eight thousand yuan."

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and was about to take out money when Su Chen came over.

"Sir, this ginseng is fake, don't be fooled." Su Chen said lightly.

The stall owner's face suddenly changed. "What nonsense are you talking about? My ginseng is authentic wild ginseng. What evidence do you have to say it's fake?"

"Evidence?" Su Chen picked up the ginseng and pointed at the small holes on the ginseng. "Real wild ginseng is smooth and won't have these signs of artificial holes. And these ginseng whiskers were obviously glued on later, and the smell of glue hasn't dissipated yet."

The middle-aged man took a closer look and indeed discovered the details that Su Chen mentioned. He immediately took a few steps back: "It's really fake, thank you for reminding me."

The stall owner was furious when he saw that his plan had been exposed: "Boy, you've ruined my business. Do you believe I can keep you from leaving this market?"

"I'm just telling the truth." Su Chen responded calmly, "We must do business with conscience and not cheat consumers."

"Conscience? In this market, can conscience be eaten?" The stall owner sneered, "Just wait, kid, I'll send someone to deal with you."

Liu Ying pulled Su Chen's sleeve with some concern: "Mr. Su, let's change places."

"Don't be afraid, let's continue looking for medicinal herbs." Su Chen didn't care and continued to move forward.

After passing several stalls, Su Chen found an old and dilapidated stall in an inconspicuous corner. The stall owner was a white-haired old man, and some ordinary-looking medicinal herbs were placed on the stall.

Su Chen walked closer and took a look, his eyes lit up. Although these herbs looked unremarkable, they were all genuine wild herbs of excellent quality.

"Old man, are these herbs all wild?" Su Chen squatted down and carefully observed the herbs on the stall.

The old man looked up at Su Chen, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Young man, do you know about medicinal herbs?"

"I know a thing or two." Su Chen picked up a piece of Polygonum multiflorum. "This Polygonum multiflorum is at least twenty years old, and it grows naturally in the deep mountains and forests."

The old man nodded in approval. "Yes, you are indeed a connoisseur. I personally picked these herbs in the mountains. They are definitely wild."

Su Chen continued to check the other herbs and found that they were all rare and good things. He began to bargain with the old man and finally bought several herbs he needed at a reasonable price.
