Rakish Little Immortal Doctor

Chapter 178: The Top-Quality Female Village Chief Got Bitten by a Snake

```

"What do you want?"

Li Qianfan turned to look and saw Zhang Ju approaching furiously, which made him curious, so he couldn’t help but ask.

Zhang Ju didn’t answer Li Qianfan right away but strode up to him, his face fierce as he said, "Don’t think that just because you have a connection with my sister-in-law, I will recommend you to the head of the pavilion as an instructor. You should know that the instructors at the Four Seas Martial Pavilion are all truly talented and knowledgeable, not just connected by relationships."

"What do you mean by that??"

Li Qianfan seemed to catch the meaning behind Zhang Ju’s words, his lips curving into a smirk as he asked.

"My meaning is simple. If you want me to recommend you as an instructor, no problem, but you have to earn my recognition with your own abilities. Tomorrow morning, do you dare to face me in a duel at the pavilion? If you can beat me, I will recommend you as an instructor.

If not, then get the hell out of Taoyuan County and never see Ye Ling’er again," Zhang Ju said, his face still fierce as he looked at Li Qianfan.

"I agree!"

Without any hesitation, Li Qianfan immediately accepted Zhang Ju’s challenge.

"Good, then I’ll wait for you at the pavilion tomorrow. I hope you’re not going to be a coward and hide, and I also hope you won’t tell my sister-in-law about this. A man should fight fair and square," said Zhang Ju, a shadow of menace flickering in his eyes.

"Don’t worry, I’m not that pathetic."

At that moment, a taxi stopped in front of Li Qianfan, who got in and left immediately.

Watching the departing taxi, Zhang Ju’s face revealed a smug sneer. He muttered to himself, "Li Qianfan, after the fight tomorrow, just accept your defeat and leave Taoyuan County for good. You dare to covet the woman I love? Do you think you are worthy? Tomorrow, I will beat you to the ground in front of Ye Ling’er!"

...

An hour later.

Li Qianfan arrived at the small courtyard rented in Xiangye Village, carrying two large bags of medicinal herbs. Seeing so many herbs in front of him, he immediately took out his phone and called Zhao Susu. When she heard that the herbs needed cleaning, she dropped what she was doing and hurried over.

"Brother Xiao Fan, that’s a lot of herbs!"

As she entered the courtyard and saw the two large bags of herbs, Zhao Susu’s eyes lit up, excited about the prospect of earning a good amount of money that afternoon.

"Yes, there’s a lot of work today. Clean all these herbs, and I’ll give you five thousand yuan," Li Qianfan said, gesturing towards the herbs not far away.

"Alright, I’ll start working right away." Zhao Susu, hearing the offer of such a generous amount, couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear and immediately nodded in agreement.

Soon, they both began working.

At first, Li Qianfan helped Zhao Susu clean some of the herbs until there were enough for a batch. Then, he took the cleaned herbs and went into the kitchen to start refining the Yang Strengthening Pills, while Zhao Susu continued to clean the herbs in the courtyard.

Although Zhao Susu worked quickly, there were just too many herbs, and by six in the evening, she had only cleaned about half of them. However, since Li Qianfan’s own pace of refining pills wasn’t fast, there was no shortage of herbs.

After an afternoon’s effort, Li Qianfan had refined six batches of the Yang Strengthening Pills, with fifty pills per batch, totaling three hundred pills.

"Phew, it took this long to refine three hundred pills. It seems that to refine a thousand, it would take at least five days," Li Qianfan mused, calculating his completion time based on his own pace. He then looked towards Zhao Susu, who was still cleaning herbs in the courtyard, and said, "Susu, how much longer until you go back to school?"

Wiping the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, Zhao Susu replied, "It’s still half a month away!"

```

If nothing unexpected happens, by tomorrow’s battle with Zhang Ju, I should be able to smoothly become an instructor. With half a month left before school starts, then I will have enough time to refine a thousand Yang Strengthening Pills.

It’s just that I don’t know how Zheng Tianhua’s collection of medicinal herbs is going. If possible, I would also like to refine the Spirit Gathering Liquid before I go to serve as an instructor. Maybe by soaking in the Spirit Gathering Liquid, I could even attempt to break through to the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm.

It seems I need to find time to inquire about Zheng Tianhua’s collection of medicinal herbs.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Qianfan put the three hundred Yang Strengthening Pills he had refined into the kitchen cupboard. Then he went over to Zhao Susu and said, "Susu, it’s getting quite late, and you’ve done a lot today. You should rest first, let me settle your wages."

As he spoke, Li Qianfan took out his phone and transferred five thousand yuan to Zhao Susu.

Receiving the money, Zhao Susu’s smile was so wide she could not close her mouth. After putting away her phone, she said, "Xiao Fan, I’m not tired yet. If you’re leaving, then go ahead first. After I clean up these herbs, I’ll help you lock the door."

"You don’t have to work so hard. You can continue tomorrow; I’m not in a hurry!"

Li Qianfan gently ruffled Zhao Susu’s hair, saying softly.

"Hehe." This gesture made Zhao Susu feel warmth. She looked up at Li Qianfan and smiled, "Xiao Fan, I’m not tired at all."

Seeing that Zhao Susu insisted, Li Qianfan had no choice but to say, "Okay then, just continue working. But you have to promise me, the moment you get tired, you must go home to rest. If I find out you have overexerted yourself, then I won’t ask for your help with work anymore."

"I know, don’t worry!"

Zhao Susu playfully stuck out her tongue as she replied.

After a quick tidy up, Li Qianfan didn’t stay much longer. He had refined Yang Strengthening Pills all afternoon and used up too much True Qi. Tomorrow he was due to duel with Zhang Ju, so he needed to rest well tonight to prevent any accidents.

The streets of Xiangye Village were particularly lively in the evening. Some villagers were chatting with bowls in hand, others were fanning themselves at the roadside, enjoying the cool breeze, and some children were running around, their laughter unceasing, making the atmosphere very peaceful.

Seeing this scene, Li Qianfan suddenly remembered his own village. If he had the time, he should also go back for a visit.

"Help… Ahh… Help!"

Just as he was passing by the village committee, a cry for help instantly caught Li Qianfan’s attention.

Such a familiar voice!

Without any hesitation, Li Qianfan rushed into the village committee building.

The village committee was a rural courtyard modified for use. The yard was quite large, about a hundred square meters or so. At that moment, a voluptuous woman in a long dress was hopping around on the spot, continuously crying out in terror for help.

This woman was none other than Ye Qing, who had helped Li Qianfan rent the house previously.

Seeing this strange sight, a puzzled look appeared on Li Qianfan’s face as he asked, "Village Chief Ye, what’s wrong?"

Upon hearing him, Ye Qing turned around to look, and when she saw Li Qianfan, a look of excitement flashed across her face. She said, "Li Qianfan, come quickly and save me, a snake has crawled inside my clothes…"

As she spoke, a small flower snake suddenly fell out from under Ye Qing’s dress. Once it hit the ground, the small snake raced at an extremely fast speed into a corner of the bushes. In the blink of an eye, it completely disappeared from view.

"It’s actually a poisonous snake!!"

As a cultivator, Li Qianfan immediately recognized that this small flower snake was highly venomous. He quickly stepped forward to pursue it, but before he could catch the snake, Ye Qing directly collapsed on the ground, her face turning instantly pale as paper.

"Li Qianfan, my thigh was bitten by the snake!"

Ye Qing looked at Li Qianfan with a face of despair and spoke.
