Chapter 1494 - 1494 Jing Family's Spirit Tea
1494 Jing Family’s Spirit Tea
Afraid that the young lady in front of him would think too much, Jing Hengran’s expression was very mild as he explained, “Miss Chi, don’t think too much. I’m just a little curious about what kind of medicinal pill you plan to refine with this Fire Pomegranate. Perhaps we can do business again, and it’ll be a win-win situation for both of us!”
Chi Shuyan was now experiencing more and more how this heir of the Jing family looked gentle on the surface, but in fact was more shrewd than anyone else. He had astute foresight and was definitely a savvy businessman.
Chi Shuyan wasn’t disgusted by Jing Hengran’s savvy. Although he was shrewd, he wasn’t petty, and was very magnanimous. That was why he had provided her with the 1,000-year-old Fire Lingzhi.
Although such a person was definitely a profiteer, he was very smart. Chi Shuyan was quite impressed. The main reason she could negotiate with the other party wasn’t that she was eloquent or quick-witted, but that her alchemy skills could make the other party look at her in a new light, and the worth she demonstrated made him not dare underestimate her.
To a certain extent, she had the upper hand in negotiations, and the other party didn’t dare take advantage of her so blatantly. That was why she hadn’t suffered a loss. Otherwise, Chi Shuyan felt that even if she had ten tricks up her sleeve, she wouldn’t be able to fool the other party.
The other party’s searching question wasn’t unpleasant. Chi Shuyan didn’t plan to hide what sort of pill could be refined from the Fiery Pomegranate. Women would like this thing very much, but for men, the Beauty Pill was very useless. Even if she said it, the other party probably wouldn’t care.
So, Chi Shuyan directly explained the effects of the Fire Pomegranate and that it was the main ingredient for refining the Beauty Pill.
Sure enough!
As soon as Chi Shuyan mentioned the effects of the Fire Pomegranate and the pill that could be refined from it, Jing Hengran’s expression changed. He wasn’t interested in the Beauty Pill. At the same time, he understood why the young lady in front of him had looked at this herb with a complicated expression just now.
In fact, Jing Hengran had been thinking about a business opportunity, but at the thought that the Beauty Pill required a herb that was more than 1,000 years old to refine, Jing Hengran felt that it was too wasteful.
If he really wanted to do business, he would have to spend too much capital.
Jing Hengran could only give up on the Beauty Pill. He handed the box containing the Fire Pomegranate to the young lady in front of him and said with a smile, “Miss Chi, this Fire Pomegranate is yours now. Don’t forget our deal regarding the Marrow Recovery Pills.”
Chi Shuyan naturally got the other party’s hint. She took the Fire Pomegranate and the Fire Lingzhi, and said, “Okay. Next week at this time, I’ll hand over three Marrow Recovery Pills to Manager Qian!”
“No need. I’ll still be here. You can give them to me directly when the time comes!” It wasn’t that Jing Hengran didn’t trust Qian Zhengde, but that the Marrow Recovery Pill was too important. He wouldn’t be at ease if he didn’t receive the pills himself.
Qian Zhengde also understood Young Master Jing’s worry and wasn’t disappointed. On the contrary, if Miss Chi really gave him the Marrow Recovery Pills, Qian Zhengde himself would be worried. He was afraid of something happening to such precious pills when they were in his care; he would be more at ease if Young Master Jing took them himself.
Both sides were very happy with this deal, especially Jing Hengran. He really wanted to get his hands on the Marrow Recovery Pill immediately and test its effect.
After that, Chi Shuyan picked out a lot of herbs in front of the two of them. She had planned to hide her abilities before, but there was no need to be too careful now. Chi Shuyan picked out a lot of the herbs she needed, and emptied one-fifth of the Jing Auction House.
Jing Hengran and Qian Zhengde looked at each other. In fact, if it was really possible, Chi Shuyan wished she could empty out the Jing Auction House of all their herbs in order to refine pills. That would put her under too big a spotlight, however – it would be too eye-catching and abnormal.
Jing Hengran wanted to say something, but hesitated. It wasn’t that his heart ached for these herbs, but he was worried that the young lady in front of him was only focused on refining other pills and wouldn’t be able to focus on refining the Marrow Recovery Pill. He couldn’t help but give her a reminder.
Chi Shuyan could only obediently stop. Before she did so, however, she realized that apart from the herbs, the Jing Auction House also sold a lot of tea leaves. There were ordinary tea leaves and some spirit tea. It was just that compared with the spirit tea which Chi Shuyan washed, the Jing family’s spirit tea contained too little spiritual energy.
The taste wasn’t as good as what she washed herself, and the color of the tea wasn’t as bright.
Chi Shuyan felt that the most fundamental reason was the difference in the amount of spiritual energy. She could be considered a true cultivator. In comparison, while the Jing family was an ancient martial family which cultivated spiritual energy, technically speaking, what they cultivated was ancient martial arts, and they only skimmed the surface of what cultivators knew.
When Jing Hengran and Qian Zhengde saw the young lady in front of them staring at the spirit tea, Qian Zhengde was a bit puzzled. He wondered if tea leaves could also be refined into pills.
As for Jing Hengran, he thought that she was interested in the Jing family’s spirit tea. After all, he had given her spirit tea before. She had probably had it recently, so it was normal for her to be interested.
Jing Hengran’s lips curved up and he immediately had Qian Zhengde give the young lady a bag of spirit tea as an expression of the Jing family’s goodwill.
Chi Shuyan really wasn’t interested in the Jing family’s spirit tea, but she specially asked about the difference in price between spirit tea and ordinary tea leaves!
At Chi Shuyan’s question, Jing Hengran and Qian Zhengde were a bit surprised. Jing Hengran pursed his lips and replied, “Whether it’s ordinary tea or spirit tea, they’re all top-quality tea leaves cultivated by the Jing family. They’re rich in color and have a good taste. Ordinary tea leaves are cheaper, at 20,000 a jar. As for spirit tea, the price starts at 100,000.”
The Jing family’s spirit tea was very famous among ancient martial families. Not only did it taste good, it also contained a lot of spiritual energy. Drinking it for a long time was not only very useful for cultivation, but also very good for the body. Usually, their jars of spirit tea could be auctioned off for millions or even more.
Chi Shuyan sucked in a cold breath when she heard the price. She looked at him in disbelief. F*ck! Sure enough, he was a profiteer!
Previously, when she sold a jar of spirit tea for 40,000 yuan, she had wondered if she was selling it at too high a price. Compared with the Jing family’s prices, that was an absolute pittance. Chi Shuyan was too shocked and blurted out, “So expensive! Does it sell?”
