1469 Jing Hengran Is Moved
Chi Shuyan didn’t know what the other party was thinking at that moment. She frowned under his burning gaze and reflected on whether or not she had done too much. She clearly remembered that the pills she had refined from the three batches of herbs were low-grade. As for the supreme-grade pills, she absolutely didn’t dare give them to him. Wait, could it be that the other party disliked the low-grade pills she had given him?
Chi Shuyan deliberated for a moment and still felt that it was unlikely. Not to mention that the pill formula for the Spirit Gathering Pill was very rare now, the Spirit Gathering Pills she refined were very different from the Spirit Gathering Pills refined by other alchemists. She was very confident in her Spirit Gathering Pill. Even a low-grade level 3 pill couldn’t compare with the level 3 Spirit Gathering Pills refined by others.
The more Chi Shuyan thought about it, the more puzzled she became. Wait, were the pills she refined too effective?
Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but take a closer look at Jing Hengran’s face, but he hid his emotions very well. For a moment, Chi Shuyan couldn’t tell if he was surprised or something else.
She didn’t have a good impression of low-grade level 3 Spirit Gathering Pills, mainly because she had shown great talent in refining pills since the beginning. She could produce many pills in one batch, and had gradually mastered the methods and techniques to refine pills. Not only did she produce a total of eight pills every time, most of them were high-grade and supreme-grade pills. On the contrary, very few low-grade pills would appear when she refined pills. There would be at most one in each batch, but she rarely took them. It just so happened that Jing Hengran’s appearance helped her deal with these low-grade pills, and she also obtained a lot of free herbs from him, so why not?
Although she couldn’t tell if the other party was happy or not, from their conversation today, she could tell that he seemed very satisfied with the pills she had given him. Thinking this, Chi Shuyan relaxed.
The other party also suggested that she go to the Jing Auction House later to choose herbs. No matter what rare herbs she needed, she just had to tell him or Qian Zhengde, and the Jing Auction House would definitely cooperate.
Chi Shuyan was very moved by his suggestion. At that moment, she would be too stupid not to see that he was exceptionally satisfied with the pills she had given him, and his words were a pleasant surprise.
From the other party’s words, she could tell that he was more enthusiastic and trusting than ever. It would be easier for her to get rare herbs from the Jing Auction House in the future, which was good news.
Chi Shuyan had always felt that when you cooperated with someone, you needed to demonstrate your greatest worth and make them offer you a good price. Only then would you have the capital and confidence to cooperate and negotiate terms with them.
The low-grade level 3 Spirit Gathering Pill had demonstrated her worth to a large extent, but that didn’t fluster Chi Shuyan. Opportunities were sometimes hidden in the risks you took. Who knew, perhaps the other party’s satisfaction with the low-grade level 3 Spirit Gathering Pill this time represented an opportunity for her.
Of course, the crux was that she had too little capital. There were too few medicinal herbs on Earth, and she couldn’t obtain them by taking risks like in the cultivation world. Nowadays, most rare and precious medicinal herbs had become part of the collections of these ancient martial families. Even now, she didn’t dare say her family background was on par with large families like these.
She knew that her only true trump cards were the Mystic Yin Arts and the white jade, as well as her talent in alchemy. These ancient martial families on Earth couldn’t compare with her in this regard. In that case, she might as well cooperate with them, which would be a win-win situation. Moreover, she had a feeling that as long as her cooperation with Jing Hengran deepened, she wouldn’t lack benefits in the future. She wanted to use the Jing family to look into the ancient martial families. In short, this cooperation with the Jing family was an opportunity for her.
So, when she heard the other party’s suggestion, Chi Shuyan wasn’t in a hurry to hide her abilities and refuse. Instead, she nodded in agreement. However, they would discuss things in a few days. Of course, the reason she gave was that she had skipped too many classes and had to make up for it, or she wouldn’t be able to keep up with her studies; she probably wouldn’t have time to refine pills for the next few days.
She spoke especially seriously and was telling the truth.
The corners of Jing Hengran’s mouth twitched fiercely at Chi Shuyan’s serious and honest words. He never thought that she couldn’t refine pills because she had to attend supplementary classes.
Jing Hengran could tell when someone was telling the truth or lying. He already knew some of her background. After taking a few more looks at her face and confirming that she was telling the truth, the corners of Jing Hengran’s eyes couldn’t help but twitch again, and he was momentarily stunned.
Fine, this young lady’s thoughts were really bizarre. Studying was actually more important than refining pills? Jing Hengran was deeply shocked.
He felt that if it were anyone else from an ancient martial family or his father in his position, they would most likely choke to death at this young lady’s powerful excuse.
But the more he looked at this young lady, the cuter she seemed. Before, Jing Hengran really hadn’t dwelled on it, and just wanted to cooperate. Even when they were negotiating, she was wise and mature, and didn’t act like a youngster at all, so Jing Hengran could only treat her as an equal and a partner.
Now that the cooperation was working, and it was a pleasant one, this young lady’s style changed in the blink of an eye, especially after negotiations were over. She appeared more guileless and cute as befitting her age, than capable and quick-witted. This kind of contrast was very refreshing to Jing Hengran. He focused more on her and felt that she was really beautiful. Not only that, Jing Hengran had an inexplicably good impression of her after just a few encounters with her. He felt that this young lady was good from head to toe.
Moreover, although this young lady was young, she should already be an adult, and probably wasn’t married yet. Thinking this, Jing Hengran’s heart thumped inexplicably, and he blurted out, “Miss Chi, may I ask if you are of age?”
