Chapter 67: For the Hundred Years of Hundred Herb Hall’s Great Cause
Chapter 67 – For the Hundred Years of Hundred Herb Hall’s Great Cause
“Cooperation? What do you want to cooperate with a bad old man like me?”
Steward He asked curiously as he handed Lu Xuan twenty-five spirit stones.
“There are twenty to thirty Spirit Plantsmiths in the Hundred Herb Hall, which means there are more diseased Spirit Plants behind it.”
“These Spirit Plants have all sorts of strange and bizarre symptoms due to being invaded by alienated Demon Bugs and contaminated by turbid Spirit Qi.
If you can’t find the problem, even if you spend more time and effort, you can only watch them wither and die from the disease.”
“That’s why I had a vague idea that instead of letting them wait quietly for death, it would be better to acquire those diseased spiritual plants from spiritual planters at a low price and try to save them.”
“I don’t know most of the Spiritual Planters that Hundred Herb Hall works with, so I want Elder He to pull some strings and find those diseased Spiritual Plants for me at a low price.”
As the steward of the Hundred Herb Hall, the thin old man was responsible for acquiring and counting all kinds of spirit medicines and plants, and had close ties with all of them, regardless of whether they were spirit plant masters employed full-time or those who cooperated freely.
Not to mention, the old man himself was deeply envious of Lu Xuan, so he wanted to take this opportunity to repay him.
“Acquiring a diseased spirit plant? I really don’t know what your kid was thinking, actually coming up with such a ridiculous thing.”
Steward He frowned, other Spiritual Plants Masters were so secretive about Mutant Spirit Plants that it was too late to avoid them, but Lu Xuan wanted to take the initiative to go up to them, which made him puzzled.
“Are you sure you can control and treat those diseased spirit plants? Aren’t you worried that your own Spirit Plants will be implicated and you will lose money on your acquisitions?”
“The spirit plants I planted myself will definitely be isolated from those diseased spirit plants and won’t be affected.”
“As for acquiring spirit plants at a low price, I would like to get them for free, but I guess it’s hard to do so, after all, spirit planters spend so much time and energy to cultivate spirit plants, even if they are diseased, they still have their hearts in the right place, and it’s unlikely that they will give them up and give them to others.”
“If I treat the diseased spirit plant, of course I can’t guarantee a ten percent success rate, only a certain possibility, but there should still be money to be made.”
Lu Xuan said.
“It’s not too easy to help you pull strings and contact those Spiritual Plantsmiths, most of them are expected to want to dispose of those diseased Spiritual Plantsmiths, and it’s natural that someone would be willing to stop the losses by buying them at a low price.”
“Just how is your low price? And how much is my reward?”
Steward He obviously had a few moments of interest and looked around, pulling Lu Xuan to a corner.
“For the acquisition standard, it’s roughly 10% of the value of the mature spirit plant, with some room for fluctuation depending on the degree of the lesion and the state of growth.”
“As for the remuneration to your old man, it’s directly based on the quantity, one spirit stone per plant for a first grade spirit plant, four spirit stones per plant for a second grade spirit plant, what do you think?”
Lu Xuan’s main acquisition targets were first or second grade diseased spirit plants, third grade spirit plants were estimated to be planted by few people in the entire Hundred Herb Hall, and their quantity was extremely low.
As for the no-grade spirit plants, their own value was extremely low, and there was no light group reward, so he could not earn many spirit stones just by relying on the well-recovered spirit plants, so it was not in his consideration.
“One spirit stone or four spirit stones per plant ……”
Steward He bowed his head in deep thought.
“Then I won’t be polite to you brat, and promise to contact and persuade every Spirit Plant Master in the Hundred Herb Hall.”
“It’s not for the sake of those few spirit stones, simply worrying for the spirit plants inside their spirit fields, after all, those spirit plants Hundred Herb Hall has the right of ownership or priority.”
“It’s a matter of the Hundred Herb Hall’s centennial business, so there’s no room for negligence.”
The thin old man said righteously.
“That’s right, for the sake of the Hundred Herb Hall’s hundred-year cause!”
Lu Xuan hurriedly agreed.
The two of them smiled at each other, and it was all in the air. “You sit here for a while first, I’ll go and check if there are any spirit plants in the hall’s medicinal garden that have undergone a mutation.”
With the opportunity to easily earn spirit stones, Steward He became instantly motivated.
There were several medicinal gardens under the name of the Hundred Herb Hall, one of which was not far away from the Hundred Herb Hall, and it was planted with dozens of spiritual plants suitable for refining pills.
Lu Xuan was only in a free partnership with the Hundred Herb Hall, and as the medicinal garden was a matter of great importance, it was not good for him to follow along and enter it, so he only had to sit in the hall and wait quietly.
The medicine boy who handled the spirit medicine next to him was very perceptive, and attentively brought a cup of steaming spirit tea, as well as a small dish of spirit fruits.
Spirit fruit fingertip size, lavender, uneven surface, looks ordinary, tastes extremely sweet and delicious.
Lu Xuan threw one grain at a time into his abdomen, and ate a large portion of it in a short while.
Inside a wide medicinal garden.
The area of the medicinal garden was tens of times larger than the small courtyard owned by Lu Xuan, and it contained a mountain peak tens of feet high, with a small river overflowing with spiritual qi lingering at the foot of the mountain.
At this moment, in the sky above the medicinal garden, a white aura shield covered the entire garden, and aura flashed across the surface of the shield from time to time.
The thin old man took out a wooden card drawn with strange runes, the aura on the shroud immediately pooled over, sensing the aura on the wooden card, a crack that could allow one person to pass through appeared at a rapid speed.
Steward He sidestepped into the medicinal garden while the crack was still closed.
He looked around and quickly locked onto a spiritual field not far away.
There were three spiritual planters gathered around the spiritual field, discussing something heatedly, and all three had a sad face.
“How has the situation been over the past two days? No new diseased spirit plants have been discovered, right?”
Steward He walked up to the three and asked.
“With the full protection of the second grade top rank formation, no new diseased spirit plants have been discovered for the time being.”
“However, it’s not a solution to keep going like this, the second grade formation is maintained day and night to protect such a large area of the medicinal garden, the amount of spirit stones spent is not a small amount.”
A slightly chubby spirit plant master walked out and said.
“How are those diseased spirit plants found earlier now? Have any solutions been discovered?”
Steward He nodded and looked at the three and said.
“Those diseased spirit plants have all been isolated, only the degree of disease is getting deeper and deeper, and there’s no way to find out the principle of their disease, we can only rely on luck as the blind cat meets the dead rat, completely relying on luck.”
“That can’t be helped, in the past, the workshop market had the protection of the Foundation Establishment cultivators as well as the third-grade formations, similar situations would not occur at all, so for a moment, it was difficult to react.”
“Coupled with the fact that the way the evil spirits invade is bizarre and unpredictable, there’s no way to defend against it, so being able to guard it well is already pretty good.”
The three Spirit Plant Masters sniffed with a look of deep concern.
“I have a good friend, who is also a Spirit Plant Master, you guys might even recognize him, and in order to try to find a way to break the diseased Spirit Plants, he wants to acquire some Spirit Plants that have been contaminated by the invasion at a low price.”
“What do you guys think?”
The three people’s eyes lit up, and their minds instantly came alive.
The only reason why they didn’t give up those Diseased Spirit Plants was because they didn’t want to waste their previous efforts, and now that they had heard that someone wanted to acquire the Diseased Spirit Plants, even if the price wasn’t high, that would be one more new option.
