Chapter 285: Perfect Quality Cannot Guarantee Quality
Chapter 285 – Perfect Quality Cannot Guarantee Quality
Hundred Herb Hall.
Inside the wide hall, the medicinal fragrance was strong.
More than a dozen medicine children were concentrating on handling various spiritual plants, among them, a thin old man was particularly conspicuous.
“Steward He, these Spirit Glow Grasses were just acquired today, help deal with them, there are dan masters who are in a hurry to use them this afternoon.”
A middle-aged man carrying a large stack of Spirit Glow Grass walked to the thin old man and put it down with a bang.
“Good.”
The thin old man glanced at the large number of Spirit Glow Grasses, gritted his teeth, and responded.
After bending over to handle the herbs for nearly an hour, Steward He held his waist and stood up with difficulty.
With his body at the fourth level of Qi Practicing, this normally wouldn’t happen.
It’s just that he is now old, his body functions are not as good as when he was young and strong, coupled with the fact that he had left a few dark diseases in the past, and bending down for so long to deal with the medicinal herbs, that’s why the pain was unbearable at once.
As the supervisor of the Hundred Herb Hall, he shouldn’t have to deal with such trivial matters, but he was only a distant relative of the He family, and the backer behind him had lost his power a few years ago, which had also affected his position in the Hall to a drastic downward spiral.
In the past, he only needed to collect spiritual plants and count the accounts, but now he also has to help deal with medicinal herbs, which is much busier in comparison.
However, the thin old man for the current situation has been very satisfied, I do not know how many old scattered cultivators in the market living in poverty, he can have a stable place, do not have to worry about being harmed, but also to earn some spirit stones for the family, that has been quite good.
Just as he was thinking, a teenager in his teens who walked into the medicine hall caught the thin old man’s attention.
The teenager’s cultivation was only at the first level of qi cultivation, his expression was timid, and his hand was tightly grasping a dozen or so Spirit Glow Grasses, and with the old man’s decades of experience in identifying Spirit Grasses, he could tell at a glance that the quality of the Spirit Glow Grasses was extremely ordinary.
He came to the front desk, spread out the spiritual plants in his hands, and asked the middle-aged cultivator if he could purchase these Spirit Glow Grass.
“Go go go, we don’t accept spirit plants from idle people here.”
The middle-aged impatiently chided, waving his hand to signal the teenager to hurry out.
“Fellow Daoist, please, I can sell it a little lower.”
A hint of begging flowed from the teenager’s tone.
“A little lower? How about two spirit stones per plant?”
A hint of teasing flashed in the middle-aged cultivator’s eyes.
“Two spirit stones?” The teenager’s body couldn’t help but sway, this was a small half lower than the normal purchase price, far below his mental expectations.
He bit his lips tightly, for a moment he was caught in a dilemma, both wanting to sell the Spirit Grass to earn a bit of Spirit Stones, but also really unable to accept the price proposed by the middle-aged cultivator.
“Steward He Yong, this child looks a little pitiful, why don’t you price it a little lower and acquire those spirit plants of his, just as a good karma.”
The thin old man saw a familiar figure from this teenager, about more than ten years ago, there was a teenager of about the same age and situation, stubborn and determined to stand in front of himself, over and over again to sell the hands of the general quality of the spirit fluorescent grass.
In a trance, the two silhouettes overlapped, giving him a sense of traveling through time.
“Elder He, there are so many cooperating spiritual planters in the Hundred Herb Hall, all kinds of spiritual plants can be supplied in large quantities and steadily, whereas this person is just a small scattered cultivator of unknown origin, and the quality of the Spirit Glow Grass in his hands cannot be guaranteed, so why would he still want to go and acquire these sporadic few spiritual plants?”
The middle-aged snorted coldly and said disdainfully.
“Priced according to quality, quantity, so what if I collect it?”
The thin old man couldn’t help but feel a bit more fired up when the middle-aged cultivator said this.
“You are so generous, you take it.”
“Good, I’ll take it if I take it, kid you come over, give me those Spirit Glow Grass of yours, I’ll buy it at the normal price.”
The thin old man greeted the fidgety teenager.
“Elder He, I’ll say it in front, these Spirit Glow Grasses don’t have my consent, there’s no way to utilize the spirit stones of the hall.” “I’ll collect it for my own use!”
The thin old man said casually, his own grandson had recently entered the hall and was attempting to refine pills, buying these ten or so Spirit Glow Grasses would allow him to practice.
The teenager handed the Spirit Glow Grass over to the thin old man, and received the thirty or so spirit stones that the old man handed over.
“The quality of these Spirit Glow Grasses of yours are basically ordinary, and there are even one or two plants that are almost defective, you don’t have a problem with this price I’m offering, do you?”
The thin old man set out the quality of the spirit plants one by one and asked the teenager.
“No no, I’m already grateful if you can take them.”
The teenager put the spirit stones into the depths of his lapel and said with a face full of gratitude.
He was self-aware of the spirit plants he cultivated, being able to obtain these spirit stones was already quite satisfying, with them, he could continue to buy spirit seeds while still having a surplus available for his cultivation life.
“Old man, you’re so nice, I also have a few Spirit Glow Grasses here that I was lucky enough to grow in perfect quality, how about I give them to you to acquire?”
Right at this moment, a gentle voice rang out from the lobby.
A handsome young man with an extraordinary aura and a long body walked into the Hundred Herb Hall calmly, holding a few fluorescent dotted plants in his hands.
The plants’ aura was compelling, and the fluorescence flickered as if they were filled with countless stars in the night sky.
“Perfect quality Spirit Glow Grass?”
The middle-aged cultivator instantly scurried out, a pleasing smile on his face.
“Fellow Daoist, this way please, our Hundred Herb Hall has an excellent reputation in the Lin Yang Fang City, as long as we are sure that the Spirit Glow Grass in your hand is really of perfect quality, we will definitely be able to give you a satisfactory purchase price.”
He suppressed his inner excitement and respectfully brought a cup of steaming Spirit Tea and handed it to the handsome youth.
Perfect quality herbs, even if they were of low grade, were extremely important to alchemists, and could enhance the success rate of alchemy as well as the quality of alchemy, so many spiritual planters in the entire Hundred Herb Hall were extremely lucky to be able to grow a perfect quality Spirit Fluorescent Grass.
If you can get all the perfect quality Spirit Flowering Grass from the hands of the youth, and hand them over to the hall alchemist, then you will be able to win his favor, and your position may be able to go further.
“Yes?”
The handsome youth looked at the middle-aged cultivator with interest.
“However, I’m just a small scattered cultivator of unknown origin, with a few sporadic plants of Spirit Glow Grass in my hands, and although they are of perfect quality, their quality cannot be guaranteed.”
“Therefore, it’s better to give it to this old man to acquire.”
The handsome young man was naturally Lu Xuan, who saw this scene in the Hundred Herb Hall and made this move just now.
As for the perfect quality Spirit Glow Grass, although it was no longer possible to get enough cultivation rewards to focus on the Second Grade Water Glow Grass, there were many Spirit Seeds that had been kept before, and the Inner Sect’s aura environment easily cultivated some perfect quality Spirit Glow Grass.
“Lu …… Lu Xuan?”
The thin old man asked softly with some disbelief.
The last time the two had met was seven or eight years ago, coupled with the fact that both Lu Xuan’s cultivation and temperament had changed tremendously, causing the old man to not dare to recognize him for a while.
“That’s right, Elder He, it’s me, coming back to visit your old man.”
The corners of Lu Xuan’s mouth rose as he said gently.
