“Master Ye, you’ve found the right person,” Huang Quan assured, producing a porcelain bottle from her storage bracelet and placing it on the table. “Take a look at the Promotion Pill I’ve just made.”
Master Ye wasted no time. He immediately picked up the porcelain bottle, removed the cork, and withdrew one of the elixirs. The elixir in his palm was radiant and pure, without the impurities often seen in elixirs sold at shops. Even the highest-quality Promotion Elixirs available at auction houses couldn’t match its purity. It was clear that this elixir was of exceptional quality, perhaps even the best.
“Excellent!” Master Ye was delighted. “This elixir is exceptionally pure and superior to those available on the market. Miss Huang Quan, please let me know the price.”
Huang Quan replied with a smile, “Promotion Pills in the market usually range from one hundred thousand for standard quality, two hundred thousand for better ones, and half a million for top-grade elixirs. How about one million for mine? My elixir ensures that there are no impurities left in the meridians after use, making it of very high quality.”
“One million, it’s a deal,” Master Ye readily agreed.
Huang Quan, feeling enthusiastic about the negotiation, slapped the table with a spirited “Deal!” She enjoyed conducting business with people who were equally enthusiastic.
“But Miss Huang Quan, how many pills are in this bottle?” Master Ye asked grandly, “I want them all.”
Huang Quan beamed even brighter. “There are nine pills in total,” she disclosed. She had originally crafted ten pills, but after providing one for her Third Brother, she had just nine remaining. She wished she had prepared more elixirs if she had known someone would want to buy them.
Master Ye, appearing generous, handed over a banknote worth ten million. “There’s one million left, Miss Huang Quan. You needn’t return it to me. Consider it a token of gratitude for your help last time.”
Huang Quan had a question. She took the banknote and inquired, “Your surname is Ye. Could it be that your family is the Ye family involved in spiritual stone mining?”
Master Ye smiled in acknowledgment, “Indeed.”
Huang Quan was enlightened. “No wonder you’re so generous. It turns out that your family is involved in spiritual stone mining!”
“Master Ye, I’ll accept it gratefully,” Huang Quan replied, tucking the banknote away. “If you ever need more pills in the future, you can come to me, and I’ll offer you a discount.”
“Alright, ah,” Master Ye replied with a smile and added, “I heard that Miss Huang Quan will be competing in the Tianqi Empire in a month. I wish you the best of luck and hope you achieve a high ranking.”
Huang Quan accepted Master Ye’s well-wishes, saying, “Thank you for your kind words, Master Ye. I have some things to attend to, so I won’t linger any longer. Goodbye.”
“Take care, Miss Huang Quan.”
Huang Quan left the teahouse, and Master Ye, holding the porcelain bottle, couldn’t muster much happiness. He had purchased the elixir for his brother, but it was difficult to be delighted. He realized that if he hadn’t mentioned the black market, Huang Quan wouldn’t have recognized him. In her eyes, he was essentially a stranger, and he pondered how he could leave a lasting impression on her. Was spending money sufficient?
Over the next two days, Huang Quan didn’t venture outside the college and remained on campus. Nangong Mian returned late in the evenings during those days and didn’t encounter Huang Quan.
Sitting on a stone bench, Huang Quan idly flipped through a book. Little green lights emanated from her hands, forming a gentle aura that drifted around her.
Upon noticing the green lights, Huang Quan abruptly closed the book, her expression turning serious. The life energy was overflowing, and it was time to exercise control over it. With this in mind, Huang Quan headed toward the courtyard gate.
As she moved, the green light spots continued to emanate from her body. Wherever she passed, flowers, plants, and trees began to flourish.
