C15 (1/2)

Carrying five thousand gold coins of medicinal ingredients into his own room, Zhen Yinjian took away all of his women and servants, and spent the next few days concocting the Spring Restoration Pills without stopping to sleep. He had to admit that the one year of success in concocting pills in the System Dimension had not been in vain.

He felt that he could easily control the fire, the method, and the quantity of the herbs used to concoct the pills. The ancients said, practice makes perfect, sincerity does not fail!

The news of Zhen Yinjian's success in concocting pills was spread throughout the entire manor, and even Patriarch Zhen Yong knew about it. When he heard the news of Zhen Yinjian refining pills, he let out a cold laugh.

Congenital Stage, intoxicated with cultivation, and obsessed with alchemy, he had never heard of anyone with any great achievements.

Four days later, Zhen Yinjian opened his room with a smile on his face, and ordered the young servant girl to prepare some medicinal baths for him. He, who had been focused on refining pills these past few days, was extremely tired.

But when he saw his room filled with pills, his heart felt as sweet as if he'd drunk honey.

”Humph, I want to make that damn old geezer's loss hurt!”

Accompanied by the sweet fragrance of the servant girl, Zhen Yinjian washed himself and changed into his new clothes before leaving the house. He carried the sweet smell of the medicine basket in his hands and headed straight for the market.

After arriving at the city square, he asked two passersby about it and finally found the apricot leaf. This medicinal shop was located in the most lively center of the city square. It was five meters tall, with the shape of an Immortal pavilion, grand and majestic. On top of the door beam, there was a large, magnificent golden board with three words written in ancient charms — apricot leaf.

Looking at the people walking in and out of the door, whether it was immortal cultivators or distinguished officials, they were indeed extraordinary.

Zhen Yinjian swaggered into the pavilion, and under the astonished gazes of the three employees, he found a table to sit at, placed the heavy vegetable basket on the vermillion table with a ”pa” sound, and started yelling.

”Is the Tong Manager here? I have a big business deal with you!”

The faces of the three shop assistants darkened, and a fat guy shouted angrily at Zhen Yinjian:

”Do you know the rules? Our apricot leaf is silent. ”Get lost now! If you want to cause trouble, you came to the wrong place!”

”Who called me!” The mahogany door on the wall beside the counter creaked open and out came the thin elder with the goatee. It really was Tong Manager.

When he saw that Zhen Yinjian had actually come and brought something with him, he was shocked in his heart. Could it be that this person had really succeeded?

”Brat, what are you looking for me for? Could it be that you want to beg me to cancel the bet? I won't do that.”

The old man pushed the few waiters beside him away and let them in, anxiously smiling at Zhen Yinjian. He didn't believe that this kid could actually concoct the Spring-Returning Pill.

Although the Spring Restoration Pill was only an ordinary pill that could be refined by alchemists with inherited Congenital Stage and above, it was almost impossible to concoct it using the shallow and crude pill books that were available on the market. And since Zhen Yinjian had bought a large amount of Spring-Returning Pellets from someone else, it was also impossible for him to earn a difference in prices from them.

In Peace City, only apricot leaf would have such a pill for sale. He believed it without a doubt.

”Old man, I've refined the Spring-Returning Pill. Can't you give me twice the price?” Zhen Yinjian laughed complacently.

”Whatever, since you have other methods, I won't waste my breath on you.” You aristocratic kids have such great face, I'm too lazy to argue with you. ”

Tong Manager's face twitched with dissatisfaction. He didn't think that this brat would purposely go to his store to buy the Spring Restoration Pill for face, it was just to refute his pride.

However, he was still an old man who had been living in poverty for dozens of years. Thus, he did not want to get into any trouble with this foppish young lord and decided to pay more money to settle the matter. After all, these rich kids were causing trouble for him as well.

”How many do you have, one, two, three? One Spring Restoration Pill is priced at 1000 gold taels, I will make 2000 gold taels for each pill. ” The old man continued to knock on the abacus and looked at the accounts for the day.

Dong!

With a dull thud, a large vegetable basket smashed onto his counter. The force behind it caused his abacus to flip upside down.

”You young man, why are you so impetuous?” Tong Manager pressed the abacus, his face gloomy.

”Boss, this basket is full of pills. Count them all!” Zhen Yinjian continued to smile mischievously.

”W-what?” Goateed Old Man swallowed his saliva, and with trembling hands, he opened the cover of the basket.

A basket full of pills, all of them were Spring-Returning Pills. The full shape and the full aroma of the pills had allowed him to confirm the authenticity of this batch of pills.
