Liu Mou's display just now was enough to terrify everyone around. Initially, Old Lady Qi had used some minor tricks to deceive people in the village, but upon witnessing Liu Mou's act, the rest were deeply intimidated. Such a massive snake was obedient to Liu Mou; he was truly a divine being in their eyes, and they immediately knelt before him in haste.
Liu Mou glanced at the few people before him and said coldly, "Wang Gouzi, Old Lady Qi, you've seen everything today. If you dare to speak a word about this outside, I'll make sure you beg for life but can't have it and beg for death but can't achieve it. You know what I'm capable of." At this moment, Liu Mou knew that he had definitely intimidated them, so he intended to make sure they kept their mouths shut and not speak of this matter outside.
"Mr. Liu, we will definitely listen to you and not talk nonsense. We won't say a word about anything that happened here, lest you use your supernatural powers to teach us a lesson," Wang Gouzi said with a face full of terror, looking at Liu Mou. If he had known how formidable Liu Mou was, he wouldn't have dared to provoke him even with ten thousand times the courage.
Knowing these people were very superstitious about ghosts and deities, Liu Mou then said, "Now you know who has supernatural powers. If you dare to cause trouble in the village again, I'll make sure you regret it, letting you understand what it means to offend a deity."
Hearing Liu Mou's words, several individuals began trembling and quickly spoke words of flattery while kowtowing.
Liu Mou looked at them and then coldly said, "Get lost. Don't let me see you again in the future."
Hearing this, the individuals immediately scrambled away.
Watching their retreating figures, Liu Mou's face revealed a smile of triumph. This time he had given them enough intimidation. He was sure they would behave properly from now on. Then, looking at the giant snake before him, the fear in his heart vanished, for he knew he could communicate with the snake; otherwise, such a large snake would not have listened to him so obediently.
Liu Mou then looked at the large snake, which now seemed like his own pet, coiling around his side and hissing its massive tongue, looking at him obediently. As he stroked the snake's head, he said, "Good buddy, from now on, this place is our territory. You must guard these magical herbs. If anyone dares to eye these herbs, teach them a harsh lesson, just remember not to take their lives."
Hearing Liu Mou's words, the giant snake nodded its head, apparently understanding him. Then, Liu Mou, after chatting a bit more with the snake and collecting some more magical herbs in a sack, left.
Upon returning home, he saw someone waiting for him, dressed in a suit. As Liu Mou entered, Chen Shuhua said, "Son, this person came to see you. They said there's business dealings with you; we don't know him."
Seeing Liu Mou come in, the man hurriedly said, "Hello, I'm Dou Yinya's driver. Manager Dou sent me to pick you up; you had arranged yesterday to meet today."
At this point, Liu Mou remembered that he had indeed arranged with Dou Yinya last night for her to pick up goods today. He hadn't expected her not to come herself but to send a driver instead.
Perhaps sensing Liu Mou's confusion, the driver hurriedly added, "Manager Dou was detained by business today and specifically sent me to bring you to the factory, where you can discuss matters face-to-face."
Now Liu Mou felt relieved; not meeting Dou Yinya face-to-face would make settling the price difficult. If they took his goods now and later claimed there was an issue with them, that could create complications. Although he couldn't be sure if Dou Yinya would do such a thing, Liu Mou still didn't want to see such problems arise.
After getting ready, Liu Mou took two bags of magical herbs and followed the driver to Dou Yinya's factory.
During their journey, the driver also subtly inquired about the source of Liu Mou's herb supplies. Liu Mou, however, brushed it off with a few evasive remarks, knowing such topics should not be delved into too deeply. If anything went wrong, the loss wouldn't be limited to him; it could even endanger lives.
Upon arriving at the factory, Dou Yinya personally came out to welcome Liu Mou. When she saw his goods, her face showed surprise. She was quite knowledgeable in this field and could immediately tell the supreme quality of the wild magical herbs. Any company could easily sell them at a good price in the market.
Of course, Liu Mou was unaware of Dou Yinya's thoughts, but he did know that Dou Yinya had some health issues. When he had shaken hands with her earlier, a phrase crossed his mind: Irregular menstruation, deficient essence blood, poor Spirit state.
Liu Mou looked at Dou Yinya and was about to speak, but felt it was better not to, as these words could be misunderstood. Being anxious and potentially misunderstanding him could complicate their partnership.
Seeing Liu Mou's hesitation, Dou Yinya, adept at reading expressions and words, quickly asked, "Young man, is there something wrong?"
Liu Mou then looked at Dou Yinya and said, "Manager Dou, may I speak to you in private about something?"
The two of them moved to a quieter place, where Liu Mou said to Dou Yinya, "Manager Dou, forgive my frankness, but have you been feeling very lethargic lately with decreased work efficiency?"
Dou Yinya's complexion changed, and she promptly replied, "Boss Liu, how could you tell? My Spirit has really been poor lately, and I've been less effective at work."
"Manager Dou, it's nothing much; you are suffering from irregular menstruation along with overexertion, which has led to a bit of mental fatigue. Of course, with some rest, it will improve, and you should be more familiar with the medications than I am."
"Really? Boss Liu, I didn't realize you were also skilled in medicine!" Dou Yinya said, visibly surprised and somewhat skeptical of Liu Mou's remarks.
Liu Mou did not elaborate further. After explaining briefly, the two agreed on the price of one hundred yuan per jin, and then Dou Yinya transferred the money to Liu Mou.
After receiving the money, Liu Mou did not linger and left immediately.
Departing from the pharmaceutical factory, following the recent incident, Liu Mou finally realized his own capability. Now, whenever he touched someone, he could diagnose their illness and the potential treatments would emerge in his mind. He now only lacked the medicines, but if he could refine some Pills, that would be even better.
