Chapter 1883 A Pill Worth 100 Million Middle-Grade Spirit Stones
Chu Yunfan had prepared many cards to deal with Li Qianyuan, but this sudden situation forced Chu Yunfan to use his cards in advance.
Even if the Elder Princess wanted to choose a husband for Tang Siyu, it was not a problem for Chu Yunfan. It was because of the hidden trump cards he had. No matter who it was, he had absolute confidence that he would be able to kill them. However, there was now a trap aim at him, and his only choice was to reveal his cards in advance.
The news of Chu Yunfan's return quickly spread through the army, and the originally panicked soldiers calmed down. There was no doubt that Chu Yunfan was the soul of the army. Although he rarely took care of specific affairs, he was irreplaceable. He was the number one expert in the entire external army.
Without Chu Yunfan, the external army was just an ordinary elite force.
As Chu Yunfan returned, the external army returned to normal. He summoned the officers above the rank of lieutenant for a meeting. After comforting these officers, he let them return to their posts. Everything went on as usual as if nothing had happened. They did not even enter combat readiness because Chu Yunfan knew that with the strength of the other party, the external army would not be of much use.
The Thousand Treasures Pavilion moved quickly too. Soon, the person in charge of the nearby Thousand Treasures Pavilion, Wan Sanqian, came to meet him.
"Greetings, General Chu." Wan Sanqian sighed.
He had never expected such a situation to happen. Although he had high hopes for Chu Yunfan, he had only bet that Chu Yunfan could become a true disciple of the Flying Celestials and become a big shot within the sect in the future.
But that was all he had predicted. Who would have thought that Chu Yunfan would become a true disciple of the Flying Celestials with lightning speed? He even entered the prodigy list with shocking momentum and became a prodigy that attracted the attention of the world.
Although some people criticized Chu Yunfan's ranking for falling, that was only a small number of people. There were countless young geniuses in the world, but only a few hundred could make it onto the prodigy list. The value of this list could be imagined.
Wan Sanqian had no doubt that Chu Yunfan had become the focus of the Flying Celestials and even the entire Grand Xia empire. He would surely become one of the most powerful figures in Grand Xia in the future.
Chu Yunfan had achieved all this in a short time. How could Wan Sanqian not feel incomparably shocked? Originally, he could still disregard Chu Yunfan, who was only a lieutenant of the Baotai's garrison at that time. But now, Chu Yunfan was someone he had to look up to.
The difference was so huge that even with his mental fortitude, Wan Sanqian found it hard to accept. Fortunately, he quickly adjusted himself.
"Why have you called me here, General Chu? Is there anything you need our cooperation with?" Wan Sanqian asked.
"Yes, I have a list here. I don't care what method you use to find the ingredients on the list. The sooner the better. I want these ingredients in the camp within four hours," Chu Yunfan said.
"Four hours?" Wan Sanqian was a little taken aback. He didn't know why Chu Yunfan was in such a hurry to gather so many ingredients in four hours.
He glanced at the list and found that many of the items listed were precious ingredients. If it was an ordinary person, it would probably take forever to collect them.
"Will this be a problem for Thousand Treasures Pavilion?" Chu Yunfan said, "I know that the Thousand Treasures Pavilion is spread all over the Central Plains, so you should have an extremely large inventory. Even if some ingredients are hard to find, it shouldn't be a problem for you."
This was the reason Chu Yunfan chose to look for the Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Only they had the ability to help him collect all the ingredients in such a short time.
"It's not a problem, General. However, the price will be higher then usual as some of the ingredients are already reserved by others. Now that they'll be transferred to you, we have to compensate for the delay."
Wan Sanqian thought for a moment and gritted his teeth. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to face such a top genius with a boundless future. Although he didn't know why Chu Yunfan was in such a hurry, it was definitely something extremely urgent. He understood the saying that adding flowers to the brocade was better than sending charcoal in the snow. Chu Yunfan would owe him a favor in the future.
"I'll pay you as much as you want," Chu Yunfan said like a typical rich and overbearing person.
He was not bluffing though. In the past year, as the external army continued to encircle and annihilate the various forces within a radius of a thousand miles of Baotai, they won successive battles. Chu Yunfan had even taken down many true disciples, and the wealth they had accumulated over the years had also fallen into his hands.
A man would not be rich without a windfall, and a horse would not be fat without a night of grass. In just over a year, after deducting the wealth that he had handed over to the Ministry of War and put into the external army as development funds, Chu Yunfan had accumulated a wealth of more than 100 million middle-grade spirit stones.
A portion of this wealth had been used up by his cultivation, but right now he still had at least 80 million middle-grade spirit stones. With enough middle-grade spirit stones to support him, the rich Chu Yunfan did not even consider the price.
"By my estimate, the starting cost for these should be about 20 million middle-grade spirit stones. Adding on the 50% premium, the total will be 30 million middle-grade spirit stones," Wan Sanqian said.
After looking at the list of hebs, Wan Sanqian quickly determined the price. He was extremely shocked. Of course, he could tell that these ingredients were used for alchemy. The key was that the ingredients alone were worth 20 million middle-grade spirit stones. According to the usual price of ingredients sold by alchemists, the finished product would cost at least 100 million middle-grade spirit stones.
Even he had trouble imaginaning what a pill worth 100 million medium-grade spirit stones would be like. Moreover, he was a little curious. Chu Yunfan had only bought one set of ingredients and did not prepare a second set. Was he that confident that he would succeed on the first try?
But Wan Sanqian didn't mention this out loud. After all, this was Chu Yunfan's secret.
"Sure," Chu Yunfan said without hesitation, "Thirty million middle-grade spirit stones, and I want to see the ingredients delivered within four hours."
