1491 Picking Herbs to Refine Pills
Chi Shuyan frowned and wanted to hear more about the Zhuang family, but the other party had already entered the hospital before he could say much more.
Chi Shuyan could only give up. After getting into the car, she thought about the Zhuang family. For some reason, she felt that the person who had dealt with the Zhuang family was most likely Qi Zhenbai. Since something had happened to the Zhuang family, the message she had sent to him before might have been of use. In that case, Chi Shuyan wasn’t too worried.
Not long after, however, she thought about how the Zhuang family had a close relationship with the Buddha which was worshiped in Dashan Village. Perhaps the Zhuang family was related to an evil cultivator. Chi Shuyan pondered for a moment and was a bit worried. She put her past grudges aside for now. Proper business was more important, so she took the initiative to call the other party. Unfortunately, the phone rang a few times, but no one picked up.
Chi Shuyan: …
Chi Shuyan could only call Grandpa Qi instead. She absolutely couldn’t let anything happen to the Qi family. Grandpa Qi quickly picked up the call. When he heard Shuyan’s familiar voice, his imposing and serious tone changed and his attitude was very amiable. “Zhenbai’s wife!”
!!“Grandpa, how have you been recently? Are you used to the spirit tea? I made some more recently. I’ll send them to you later.” Chi Shuyan automatically ignored the way the old man addressed her, and her tone was very gentle.
Grandpa Qi coughed softly a few times, then replied happily, “Okay, I like tea, especially the spirit tea you make.”
The two chatted on the phone as usual. After that, Chi Shuyan offhandedly asked if anything had happened in the Qi family. Grandpa Qi’s tone didn’t change as he said, “Granddaughter-in-law, things are fine at home, but when are you coming back to take a look for yourself? By the way, did you quarrel with Zhenbai? If this kid bullies you, tell me. I’ll deal with him for you later.”
Chi Shuyan saw that the old man’s tone hadn’t changed at all, and he was still as amiable and kindly as ever. When he spoke about the Qi family, his tone was also normal, as if nothing had happened. She heaved a sigh of relief and only said, “Grandpa, I’ve been free recently. Contact me immediately if anything happens.”
“Okay!”
Chi Shuyan was sure that the old man’s tone was normal. As for the Qi family and the Zhuang family, she couldn’t investigate in detail. To be honest, she didn’t have anything to do with the Qi family now, so she couldn’t interfere too much. So, she stopped probing and directly reminded the old man that the Zhuang family might have something to do with evil cultivators. After hanging up, she sent Qi Zhenbai another message about Zhuang Yanru and the Buddha in Dashan Village, reminding him to be more careful. After sending the message, she put away her phone.
Not long after, the car arrived at her destination. Chi Shuyan paid the driver via Alipay, got out of the car, and walked into the Jing Auction House.
Qian Zhengde spotted Shuyan with his sharp eyes from the front desk of the Jing Auction House. He was instantly excited and went forward to welcome her. His attitude was very respectful, more than ever. “Miss Chi, you’re here! I’ll let Young Master Jing know. He’s upstairs!”
Chi Shuyan nodded at Qian Zhengde and stopped him from letting Jing Hengran know. She said, “You don’t have to be so polite. I’m here to choose herbs. It’s not a big deal, so I won’t trouble Young Master Jing.”
Chi Shuyan really didn’t think choosing herbs was a big deal. There was really no need to inform Jing Hengran. On the contrary, with him around, she couldn’t choose herbs.
Seeing this, Qian Zhengde could only give up for the time being. He took the initiative to bring her over to a new batch of herbs and let her choose whatever she wanted. He even said, “Miss Chi, take a look. If you lack any herbs, just tell me directly. Our Young Master Jing specially instructed me before that you get first pick with these herbs!”
Speaking of which, Qian Zhengde knew that this person was really talented in alchemy. He couldn’t wait for Miss Chi to choose all the herbs and refine more pills for their Jing family.
Not only did Miss Chi have a very high success rate, the pills she refined were very different from what other alchemists produced. Not only were there no impurities, the spiritual energy they contained was also dozens of times more abundant than what ordinary alchemists could produce. It was really a pleasant surprise.
Moreover, this person had delivered three level 3 Spirit Gathering Pills in one go the last time, which was simply an eye-opener for Qian Zhengde. After Young Master Jing took them, the effects were really extraordinary. Young Master Jing also specially reminded Qian Zhengde repeatedly that he had to treat this Master Chi well, and that he would benefit a lot in the future for it.
The more Qian Zhengde thought about it, the more he felt that this young lady in front of him was really his lucky star. Because of her, Young Master Jing placed more value on him, and he had also benefited a lot.
Qian Zhengde now felt that there was a lot to look forward to in this auction house in the capital. He was immeasurably glad that he had discerning eyes back then and hadn’t offended this young alchemist. Thinking this, Qian Zhengde felt a sense of accomplishment and treated her even more respectfully and considerately.
Chi Shuyan enjoyed Qian Zhengde’s attentive hospitality. She had always had a good impression of him. In addition, Qian Zhengde was respectful toward her, but not too obsequious. Chi Shuyan was very satisfied and nodded as she followed him to look at the new herbs.
It could be said that the Jing Auction House had a dazzling array of medicinal herbs. Not only were there many varieties, they were also well-preserved. Some 100-year-old medicinal herbs even retained traces of spiritual energy, which surprised Chi Shuyan.
“Miss Chi, may I ask what medicinal pill you want to refine this time?” Qian Zhengde probed while Miss Chi was in a good mood.
Chi Shuyan didn’t feel offended. After all, she and Jing Hengran were in a business relationship. Chi Shuyan’s eyes lingered on the herbs, and she replied, “I’m not sure yet. I’ll take a further look!”
“Okay! Okay! Look! Take your time!” Qian Zhengde was all smiles and respectful. He suddenly thought of something and said, “By the way, Miss Chi, I wonder if you’re interested in 1,000-year-old herbs? Our shop was a little lucky recently and obtained some very rare 1,000-year-old spirit herbs. Do you want to take a look?”
