Chapter 807: Chapter 807: Supre-Grade Herbs
"How much?" Zhang Chunxiang paused for a mont, then imdiately beca serious, sitting up straight from her previous lounging position on the sofa.
"Over a hundred pounds," Chen Guan repeated.
"Are you sure you didn’t get the quantity or unit wrong? Not one pound or over a hundred plants?" Zhang Chunxiang quickly asked.
"No mistake, it’s over a hundred pounds, more than fifty kilograms," Chen Guan laughed, judging from Zhang Chunxiang’s reaction, he figured the Nine Infants he exchanged would fetch a great price.
Zhang Chunxiang directly initiated a video call, Chen Guan answered, and Zhang Chunxiang imdiately said, "Show ."
Chen Guan saw Zhang Chunxiang in a soft, fluffy pure cotton strawberry-flowered pajamas, her hair disheveled, wearing a pair of little white socks, uncertain whether she had just woken up or hadn’t slept yet.
He switched the cara around and pointed it at the pile of Nine Infants on the ground.
Zhang Chunxiang was stunned upon seeing it. That pile on the ground could not be anything other than Nine Infants.
Yet such a large volu of Nine Infants, with such an excellent appearance, definitely pri quality, with an age no less than a hundred thousand years, such goods are hard to find even as single plants, let alone in bulk.
When Zhang Chunxiang studied the Nine Infants, considered a pri treasure among heaven and earth’s wonders, her family only showed her photos, lacking any actual specin for direct viewing.
"How can you leave them on the ground? Quickly pack them up, such a wanton waste..." Zhang Chunxiang, after staring at the Nine Infants on the ground for a while, finally said.
Chen Guan said, "Could you check if your family is interested in buying them?"
"No need to ask, of course we are, so long as the price is right, I can make the call," Zhang Chunxiang replied swiftly.
She understood too well how scarce Nine Infants were currently; even a ten thousand year old Nine Infant commanded an astronomical price.
"The price can be negotiated, but I have one condition: I want your family’s alchemist to help
concoct a batch of elixir. I’ll provide the materials and even cover the labor cost," Chen Guan stated.
"That’s not a problem. As long as you sell the Nine Infants to the Zhang family at a fair price, we can make one batch, even ten, all for free, including auxiliary herbs," Zhang Chunxiang said generously, then casually asked, "What elixir do you want to concoct?"
"Star Soul Pill," Chen Guan said.
"Star Soul Pill? Its primary ingredient is Silver Star Blue Spine Vine, which hasn’t been seen for years; where did you get it?" Zhang Chunxiang stared incredulously at Chen Guan.
"Don’t worry about where I got it, just tell
if it can be done," Chen Guan asked.
"It can be done, but Silver Star Blue Spine Vine needs to be of the blue-backed, ridge-splitting type to be effective. First, let
see the one you have, to check if it’s usable," Zhang Chunxiang replied.
"Why don’t you see if this can be used?" Chen Guan took out one for her.
When Zhang Chunxiang saw the Silver Star Blue Spine Vine, resembling a blue jade, radiating with a silver sheen like that of a galaxy, her first thought was, "Are you kidding ? Where did you get this large piece of plastic from, is it counterfeit? Can this thing be used in dicine, aren’t you afraid of constipation?"
This Silver Star Blue Spine Vine was so perfect it seed fake.
Chen Guan didn’t argue, rely took out a small knife and gently scraped the Silver Star Blue Spine Vine.
As the blade scraped across the vine, tiny silver-blue flakes flew into the air, the blues ignited like fireworks, and the silvers sparkled like starlight, combusting spontaneously in the air, leaving no ash at all.
"This... this is the real Silver Star Blue Spine Vine... such quality... oh my... my friend... you’ve hit it big..." Zhang Chunxiang cried out, wide-eyed.
"So, can this elixir be concocted?" Chen Guan smiled and asked.
"Yes, certainly it can be, definitely it can be, or I could concoct it for you, I’ll provide the auxiliary herbs..." midway, Zhang Chunxiang shook her own head, "No, forget it, my skill level isn’t fit for using such high-grade Silver Star Blue Spine Vine, it would truly be wasteful. If anything goes wrong, such fine material would be squandered..."
"I think it’s doable, you can do the concocting, let’s not find soone else," Chen Guan agreed outright.
Zhang Chunxiang shook her head imdiately, "No, it truly won’t work. With my skill, achieving perfection is difficult; it’s too precious to waste. I’ll find our Zhang family’s best alchemist, this Silver Star Blue Spine Vine deserves it. Rest assured, I’ll supply the auxiliary herbs."
"I want you to do it, so you will, I believe you can," Chen Guan knew Zhang Chunxiang was the Zhang family’s fostered future master of the Alchemy Dao.
The Zhang family’s top-tier elixirs in the future would surely pass through Zhang Chunxiang’s hands, so Chen Guan hoped to maintain a good relationship with Zhang Chunxiang, whom he found worthy of befriending.
Zhang Chunxiang blinked and said, "No, I treat you as a brother, you don’t have other thoughts about , right?"
"Alright, alright, it’s up to you whether you want to or not," Chen Guan was at a loss for words.
Zhang Chunxiang chuckled, "I’ll still find soone for you, I really can’t guarantee a perfect batch in one go."
"If not in one go, then try multiple tis," Chen Guan suggested.
"I would like that, but your pri Silver Star Blue Spine Vine is too rare. One is enough for one batch but not for two, so there’s only one chance, can’t waste it," Zhang Chunxiang said.
"What, is that all? If one isn’t enough, then use two." With those words, Chen Guan took out another Silver Star Blue Spine Vine.
"You have another one?" Zhang Chunxiang asked in surprise.
"If two isn’t enough, then three, if three isn’t enough, then keep going, you need to perfect this Star Soul Pill, and you’ll need to practice often," Chen Guan pulled out one Silver Star Blue Spine Vine after another.
Zhang Chunxiang, eyes wide, seed dazed, she’d never seen so many pri Silver Star Blue Spine Vine.
After discussing with Zhang Chunxiang, she still had to consult her elders at ho, since this wasn’t a small transaction.
The Zhang family was naturally eager to complete the deal and help Chen Guan concoct the Star Soul Pill.
As for Chen Guan’s request to have Zhang Chunxiang concoct the elixir, the Zhang family couldn’t be happier; it’s a rare opportunity for experience. The Zhang family didn’t have a lot of Silver Star Blue Spine Vine in reserve for Zhang Chunxiang to practice with, and what’s more, their reserve wasn’t of such quality.
After striking an agreent with the Zhang family, Chen Guan called in Huangfu Yan to help transport the materials into the Southern Heavenly Kingdom, where he would complete the handoff with the Zhang family.
Chen Guan exchanged Nine Infants for elixirs, not wealth, as so of the Zhang family’s unique elixirs couldn’t be bought with money.
Of course, Nine Infants were equally priceless.
Having received the elixirs, Chen Guan only had to wait for the Star Soul Pill to be concocted, even if he didn’t need it himself, he could always give it to his juniors, as no one would complain about having more.
Using the previously agreed thod of contact, Chen Guan located Ji Nanhong and retrieved the Evil Spirit Blood Sword, preparing to head to Great Cave Heaven to train.
Ji Nanhong had reached the peak of the Third Awakening; as long as she wasn’t surrounded by an army, without the Evil Spirit Blood Sword, others would struggle to pose a threat.
Chen Guan still advised her to be cautious recently, suggesting she remain hidden until the Evil Spirit Blood Sword’s level was raised, after which she could head to Grotto Heaven.
