Legendary Person: I brought my skills back to reality!

These pills are Xu Hao's latest creation, called the Rejuvenating and Vitality-Preserving Pill. It's a new formula that came to mind after Xu Hao's alchemy skills reached level two.

The Rejuvenating and Vitality-Preserving Pill possesses miraculous nourishing effects on the body, especially noticeable in improving the health of middle-aged and elderly individuals. It is made primarily from millennia-old snow frost, combined with dozens of rare medicinal herbs found in the real world. Only through Xu Hao's unique alchemy skills can it be successfully refined. It is the highest-grade pill Xu Hao has ever concocted.

After successfully refining these batches of Rejuvenating and Vitality-Preserving Pills, Xu Hao was pleasantly surprised to find that his alchemy experience points had increased by nearly a third. This far exceeded the experience he had gained from refining other low-level pills. Therefore, Xu Hao became even more convinced that the higher the grade of the pill, the greater the help it would provide in improving his alchemy skills.

Xu Hao summarized his experience: any pill that requires materials from the Fama Continent to make is of a higher grade. For example, the Flame Fusion Pill requires the horn of the Flame Worm, while the Rejuvenating and Preserving Pill requires ten-thousand-year-old snow frost.

However, the raw materials for the Guyuan Pill and Qingshen Pill all come from the real world, so they are relatively less advanced.

Xu Hao carefully placed the pills on the silk cloth on the table and counted them carefully; there were fifteen in total.

Next, Xu Hao took out a jade bottle that he had prepared beforehand. The bottle was pure white, with a simple and elegant design, and exquisite cloud patterns were engraved on its surface. He first carefully wiped the inside of the bottle with a soft velvet cloth to ensure there were no impurities. Then, using a small jade spoon, he carefully placed the pills one by one into the bottle.

After filling the box with the pills, Xu Hao picked up an exquisite sandalwood box. The box's surface was smooth as a mirror, with metal ornaments inlaid at the four corners. Inside, it was lined with soft red velvet. He gently placed the jade bottle containing the pills into the box, ensuring it was securely set in the velvet grooves. Finally, he slowly closed the lid, hearing a soft "click," confirming the box was securely locked.

As for medicinal materials and supplies, Xu Hao only needs to make a request, and the logistics personnel will naturally prepare them, which can be considered as taking advantage of the public resources.

Xu Hao took a deep breath and gazed at the exquisite sandalwood box on the table. He reached out and gently stroked the smooth surface of the box, feeling the delicate texture beneath his palm. His conversation with Lin Ya flashed through his mind, and his brow furrowed slightly.

During his conversation with Lin Ya, Xu Hao learned that Lin Ya's father, Lin Zhenjiang, was a highly respected and successful businessman, but also a stubborn and inflexible old man. Xu Hao understood that gaining the old gentleman's approval would not be easy, so he decided to carefully prepare a special gift to express his sincerity and respect.

After careful consideration, Xu Hao decided to refine this bottle of Rejuvenating and Vitality-Preserving Pill.

"I wonder if the old man will give me the time of day?" Xu Hao thought to himself. "This stuff is supposed to prolong life, which cadre could withstand that test?"

Although my business is very different now than before, and I am no longer the small salesperson that everyone can bully, no one can say for sure about stereotypes.

The relationship between Xu Hao and Lin Ya was never a simple attraction or an exchange of benefits, but a deep and complex emotional bond.

Xu Hao is now worth tens of millions, and his net worth will only increase in the future. He wields immense power in the powerful and special Bureau of Mysterious Affairs. Whether it's Director Zheng or Chief Li, they are kind and approachable in his presence, but outside, they are all powerful figures who can decide the fate of millions with a single word.

Given his current status and position, he could easily choose any woman he wanted. Why would he choose to be devoted to a widow?

The reason is simple: she's his white moonlight!

Whenever he thinks of Lin Ya, the woman who gave him warmth and support when he was at his lowest point, an indescribable warmth always rises in his heart.

Poor performance, ridiculed by others, unemployed at home, unable to even pay rent.

In each of those moments, Xu Hao felt Lin Ya's sincerity and kindness. Her unconditional care and understanding made him realize for the first time that he was not alone.

Even though Lin Ya was a widow who had experienced many hardships in life, her resilience and gentleness became the most precious treasure in Xu Hao's heart. He knew that this affection had long transcended worldly prejudices and stereotypes, becoming an indispensable part of his life. It was because of Lin Ya's companionship that Xu Hao was able to get to where he was today.

Putting aside his thoughts, Xu Hao gently patted the sandalwood box, as if to encourage himself. He took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and then carefully placed the box into an exquisite black leather briefcase. Only after confirming that the zipper was fully closed did he leave with peace of mind.

A black sedan was already waiting for Xu Hao at the entrance of Zhongtian International. Xu Hao had originally planned to buy a car, but Shi Shaowei waved his hand and said, "Brother, what kind of person are you? You don't need to buy your own car. Logistics, get my brother a company car, with two drivers working in shifts, on standby 24 hours a day!"

The scenery outside the window kept changing, but his thoughts remained fixed on the upcoming meeting. Soothing music played in the car, and he tried to relax, but the underlying tension lingered.

It's said that fathers-in-law find fault with their sons-in-law no matter what, but I don't know if it's true or not.

After driving for a while, Xu Hao's car slowly stopped in front of the teahouse. He looked up and saw that the teahouse had an antique appearance with upturned eaves and corners. A large red plaque hung at the entrance with four gilded characters that read "Hongyun Teahouse", which made it look particularly grand.

Isn't this Su Qing's family's property? It's a familiar place.

Stepping into the teahouse, a delicate aroma of tea wafted towards him, instantly soothing his mind and spirit. Xu Hao looked around; the teahouse was elegantly decorated, with several landscape paintings hanging on the walls. The partitions between the tea tables were cleverly designed, ensuring privacy for each guest without making the space feel too enclosed. Guided by a waiter, Xu Hao passed through rows of elegant seats and arrived at the door of a quiet private room.

Xu Hao entered the private room and looked around. The room was decorated in a simple and elegant style, with several light landscape paintings hanging on the walls, giving people a sense of tranquility and serenity. He chose a seat by the window, where the view outside was right in front of him, and sunlight shone through the curtains onto the table.

He gently called to the waiter, ordered a pot of fine Longjing tea and several exquisite tea snacks, and waited for Lin Ya and Lin Zhenjiang.

Time slipped by quietly as they waited, the clock in the private room ticking away. Just as Xu Hao put down his teacup and was about to check the time again, the door to the private room was gently pushed open. Lin Ya entered, arm in arm with a sprightly elderly man. The man was about sixty years old, wearing a well-tailored dark Zhongshan suit, his face solemn yet dignified; it was Lin Zhenjiang.
