"I see you’ve been really tired these days; your expression is already one of fatigue. Let me start by giving you a massage to help you relax, otherwise, once these products start being produced, you’ll have even less time to rest," Ye Luo said to Luo Jingxuan.

"This... Okay then," Luo Jingxuan nodded. These days, she had indeed put in a lot of effort for Mei Yue Company and felt extremely worn out.

"Is your massage effective?"

"Of course, I guarantee that after my hands work on you, you’ll feel immediately refreshed and invigorated," Ye Luo said to Luo Jingxuan with a smile on his lips.

Indeed, purely in terms of massage techniques, his skills certainly couldn’t compare to those who had professionally studied and been in the trade for over a decade, but his massages were not just simple massages.

During the process, he could channel Nine Yang True Qi into the other person’s body, not only providing a warm and comfortable feeling but also using True Qi to soothe their meridians and tense muscles, achieving an extraordinary level of relaxation that even the most enlightened massage masters couldn’t match.

"All right."

Saying this, Luo Jingxuan turned her back to Ye Luo, allowing him to begin the massage.

Ye Luo was proficient in acupuncture and inherently very familiar with pressure points since massage involved stimulating the human body through these points to improve bodily functions.

However, looking at Luo Jingxuan in that pose, he couldn’t help but speak up, "You should lie down; that way, I can massage your back more effectively."

Luo Jingxuan’s expression changed slightly, but she nodded nonetheless and lay directly on the couch. Although the position was somewhat embarrassing for her, after so many days of interaction with Ye Luo, they had become very familiar with each other, and it didn’t bother her much anymore.

Ye Luo swallowed and coughed, "I’m starting now."

Luo Jingxuan hummed in acknowledgement, yet inwardly cursed, thinking to herself that this bastard could just start without making such an announcement, getting her all nervous.

As the first meridian of Nine Yang was opened, Ye Luo felt his own Yang energy growing even stronger, flowing into his hands, which seemed to become slightly warm.

Ye Luo closed his eyes and calmed his mind, taking a few deep breaths before he started massaging Luo Jingxuan’s back with his hands.

His massage techniques were very skilled, especially at controlling various pressure points, and quickly made Luo Jingxuan feel incredibly relaxed. Her eyes half-closed, she began to enjoy the experience.

Luo Jingxuan felt wave after wave of heat from the places Ye Luo’s hands touched, something she had never experienced when massaged by others, filling her with a slight sense of wonder.

But the pleasure was too good for her to ask him to stop, so she let it be.

In fact, at this moment, due to the surging of Nine Yang True Energy within him, Ye Luo was using her body as a conduit to vent it, indirectly clearing her meridians with Nine Yang True Qi. After Ye Luo finished the massage, she would probably not just feel relaxed mentally and physically but would enjoy robust health from then on. If she chose to pursue cultivation, she would progress much faster.

Ye Luo savored the sensation under his hands, while Luo Jingxuan enjoyed the warm feeling throughout her body, neither of them speaking.

However, after more than ten minutes, Luo Jingxuan’s face suddenly turned tomato red as she turned over and pushed Ye Luo’s hands away, saying in a fluster:

"I still need to go to the company, so I’ll be leaving now."

Luo Jingxuan quickly got up, her face red with a hint of embarrassment, and hurriedly left.

Ye Luo touched his nose in confusion, not sure what had happened. Had he accidentally touched a sensitive spot just now?

Luo Jingxuan, having left the villa, was seated in the car with a flushed face, her eyes sparkling with shyness. Thinking about the strange sensation she felt when Ye Luo had touched her, her emotions were in a mess and she felt a peculiar kind of sentiment.

Since it was already noon, Ye Luo had made himself something to eat in the villa and then prepared to look for a herbal shop to purchase some medicinal ingredients for alchemy.

During this time, Ling Qingya naturally called him to ask where he was. Ye Luo made up an excuse on the spot; although Ling Qingya seemed very angry, he managed to deceive her.

"Where should I go to buy them?"

Seated in his car, Ye Luo pondered over where to purchase the medicinal ingredients. The ones he needed were not particularly rare, but not all general medicine shops would carry them.

Only those large-scale medical stores might have them, but Ye Luo wasn’t familiar with the medicine shops in Zhonghai, so he was having some trouble deciding.

Eventually, Ye Luo still called Luo Jingxuan to ask which store in Zhonghai was the largest.

"Do you want to buy medicinal herbs? If we’re talking about Zhonghai, the most comprehensive and abundant store would obviously be the Rejuvenation Pavilion run by the Mu Family. The Rejuvenation Pavilion has branches in all the major cities across the country, and they sell the most complete range of medicinal herbs. It’s just that with your current relationship with the Mu Family, it might be difficult for you to buy their herbs..."

Luo Jingxuan said with some concern.

"Don’t worry, it’s fine."

Ye Luo laughed and hung up the phone, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

"Rejuvenation Pavilion, interesting!"

Ye Luo headed straight to the Rejuvenation Pavilion’s location in Zhonghai, with the navigation guiding him.

The Rejuvenation Pavilion, established by the prestigious Mu Family known for their Medical Path, held a high status throughout Huaxia. Not only did it house the most traditional Chinese medical practitioners in Huaxia, but it was also the place with the most comprehensive and rare medicinal herbs, offering what other medical stores could not.

The Mu Family had set up a Rejuvenation Pavilion in every major city to provide medical consultations and sell medicinal ingredients.

When Ye Luo arrived at a prime location in Zhonghai, he glanced around and saw a five-story building ahead with a huge golden signboard hanging on it. The signboard bore the three big characters of Rejuvenation Pavilion, exuding grandeur.

As Ye Luo entered the Rejuvenation Pavilion, he noticed many patients queuing up. In front of them was an elderly man with white hair, in his sixties, dressed in a long white robe, diagnosing patients. On the other side were rows of medicine cabinets, obviously filled with various medicinal herbs.

In an era where Chinese medicine was declining and Western medicine thriving, the fact that so many people still queued up for traditional Chinese medical treatment proved the power of the Rejuvenation Pavilion.

Ye Luo didn’t pay much attention and went straight to the medicine cabinets, saying to a man responsible for dispensing herbs, "I need to purchase some medicinal ingredients."

"Sir, may I ask what medicinal ingredients you need to purchase? Our Rejuvenation Pavilion stocks a variety of rare medicinal herbs such as ginseng, Lingzhi, Snow Lotus, and other herbs that other stores do not have,"

the man said with a smile.

"Here, give me ten portions of each herb listed on this slip!"

Ye Luo said directly and handed a list over to the man.

"This..."

Looking at the list of medicinal herbs on the slip, the man couldn’t help but be surprised.
