Chapter 119 In my heart, you are the War God!
Seeing Zhao Tianjie so shocked, Li Qianfan was utterly confused and asked in return, "What's wrong?"

An alchemist, that is an extremely rare profession! Only large families in first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou have alchemists. I heard that a martial arts family in Yanjing offered an annual salary of one billion to invite an alchemist into their family.
Furthermore, every member of that family treated him with utmost respect," Zhao Tianjie exclaimed with a shocked face as he looked at Li Qianfan.
Uh...
Are alchemists really that incredible in today's society?
Li Qianfan replied very calmly, "Zhao Tianjie, I think you misunderstood. The elixir making I mentioned is just the ordinary pill making by a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, where you first boil the medicine into a decoction and then dry it to form pills."
Hearing Li Qianfan's explanation, the shocked expression on Zhao Tianjie's face vanished, and he gave a wry, helpless smile, "Big brother, could you be serious for a moment? I actually thought you could make elixirs."
"Brother, what if brother Qianfan were an alchemist?"
At this moment, Zhao Susu, who was sitting on the bed, asked curiously.
Zhao Tianjie responded seriously, "If Li Qianfan were truly an alchemist, he would instantly become a highly sought-after figure, and our Taoyuan County would quickly gain fame throughout all of China. Plus, countless people from large families would gather in Taoyuan County to invite Li Qianfan, and then he would become a greatly respected person."
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Zhao Susu looked at Li Qianfan with eyes full of admiration.
"What's so amazing about that? I am not an alchemist, just a very ordinary traditional Chinese medicine doctor. If making pills can make me a great figure, then I could surely wake up laughing from my dreams," said Li Qianfan,
Li Qianfan didn't even think about it; he immediately concealed the fact that he was an alchemist.
Indeed, being an alchemist is an extremely rare profession in China, especially for those martial artists who are stuck at a bottleneck in becoming a cultivator. Alchemists are practically like a godfather to them.
Powerful elixirs can help a martial artist leap into becoming a formidable cultivator.
Even ordinary alchemists are hotly contested by martial families, as elixirs can rapidly enhance a martial artist's strength.
The problem is, Li Qianfan's current strength is too weak. Although he is the dominant force in Taoyuan County, there are certainly stronger cultivators in the big cities. With his current second level of True Qi Realm strength, exposing that he is an alchemist would only lead him to be hoarded by those big families, turning him into a pathetic alchemy tool.
His father had already warned him not to seek him out until he reached the Golden Core Realm.
This means, there are definitely strong cultivators in the outside world,
Zhao Tianjie looked at Li Qianfan with a delighted and trembling voice, "Li Qianfan, you are amazing! I've consulted many doctors, and you're the most incredible one I've ever met."
Li Qianfan smiled and said, "The pills I prepared can only temporarily suppress the cold in your sister's body. As for how to cure it completely, I still need to think of a solution. Rest assured, until I find a solution, I will continue to provide you with pills to suppress the cold."
Hearing this, Zhao Tianjie's eyes welled up with excitement as he grabbed Li Qianfan's hand, saying, "Brother, Qianfan, if you don't mind, from now on I'll call you brother, and I'll be your little brother."
"You don't need to be my little brother. You just need to keep your promise to me—recommend me as a mentor!"
Li Qianfan said lightly.
Zhao Tianjie assured, "Don't worry, once I'm back at the dojo, I will recommend you as a mentor."
Li Qianfan nodded in satisfaction, then asked, "By the way, I heard you and Zhang Ju are on good terms. Could you talk to him and ask him to recommend me as a mentor too? He holds a significant position among our dojo's mentors and has a strong influence."
"Sure, once I get back, I'll speak with Brother Ju. I'll do my best!"
Zhao Tianjie assured, patting his chest.
"Great, then take these two pills with you. When Susu's cold flares up next time, just let her take them. Whenever you run out of pills, just come to me," Li Qianfan said earnestly.
"Qianfan, thank you... I can't thank you enough. If you ever need me, I'll do everything I can!"
Zhao Tianjie's eyes were filled with determination.
...
At four in the afternoon, Li Qianfan returned to the Jiumei Massage Parlor. He had planned to clock in and earn some wages, but Hong Jiumei pulled him into her office for a rigorous two-hour battle that left her completely subdued.
Looking at Hong Jiumei's bewildered face lying on the couch, Li Qianfan's mind flashed with the image of Tong Caicai.
He said, "Sister, did you contact Tong Caicai? I must reclaim my dignity."
Hong Jiumei first rolled her eyes at Li Qianfan, then spoke coyly, "I've already contacted her, but right now she's gone abroad to study with the hospital. Once she's back, you go and teach her a lesson. With your strength today, you can definitely make her call you 'daddy'..."
"Hahaha, whether she calls me daddy or not doesn't matter, I have to prove to her that I'm not a three-second man!"
Li Qianfan said seriously.
"In my heart, you are a War God!" Hong Jiumei stood up, wrapped her arms around Li Qianfan's neck, and passionately kissed him.
Li Qianfan, too, responded passionately without speaking.
After leaving Hong Jiumei's office, it was already past seven in the evening. As Li Qianfan was preparing to go to the resting room to wait for his shift, he received a call from Li Dalong, who said, "Xiao Fan, come home quickly, I have something to discuss with you!"
