Chapter 552: Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill 4
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill, as the name suggested, was practically a miracle medicinal pill capable of bringing the dead back to life. One could easily discern its precious nature. However, crafting such a miraculous elixir not only demanded a wealth of precious spiritual plants and herbs but, most importantly, was not a task anyone could undertake lightly. The slightest error in the refinement process could render all previous efforts in vain. In the Hidden World, alchemists capable of producing the Nine-Cycle
Soul-Returning Pills were few and far between. The highest-grade pill, boasting the best medicinal effects, was also the rarest. Of course, she believed that with the Zhongyu family’s strength, they certainly possessed the Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill. The question was whether the Zhongyu family was willing to trade such a precious medicinal pill for this particular spiritual plant.
At least, she remained skeptical that Zhongyu Jiarui could make the decision.
Sure enough, upon hearing Zhong Lingwan’s words, Zhongyu Jiarui’s face was instantly overtaken by shock, her tone incredulous. “You’re talking about a high-grade Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill. Is this spiritual plant worth it?”
Even if the spiritual plant was valuable, could it truly compare to the rarity of a high-grade Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill?
“Miss Zhongyu, this price has been set by our boss,” Zhong Lingwan responded with an unchanged expression, a hint of a smile even present. There was no trace of displeasure. She calmly stated, “I’m just an employee and can’t make decisions. If you genuinely want this spiritual plant, please hand over the Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill first. As for the one million Spirit Coins, we can arrange for someone to collect them from the Zhongyu family later.”
The boss wasn’t particularly concerned about the Spirit Coins. What truly mattered was that high-grade Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill. Thus, until they received the pill, the spiritual plant wouldn’t be leaving..
Upon hearing this, Zhongyu Jiarui’s expression turned sour. One million Spirit
Coins wasn’t an issue for her. The real problem lay with the Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill. Even if her father was the family head, producing such a pill for a mere spiritual plant exchange was out of the question.
Suddenly, Ye Leng’an interjected, “So, if I can provide a Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill now, I can take this spiritual plant with me. You can collect the Spirit Coins later, correct?”
A much more convenient arrangement.
She had already considered seeking help from Huangfu Ruiling but had no intention of having him come over. Instead, she planned to have someone sent to help settle the bill. However, upon hearing the exchange between Zhong Lingwan and Zhongyu Jiarui, she realized that sending someone over for collection was an option. This simplified matters significantly.
Instantly, all eyes turned towards Ye Leng’an.
Zhong Lingwan, somewhat reluctantly, said to her, “Miss, did you understand what I said? Our boss is requesting a high-grade Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill”
“Country bumpkin, do you even know what a Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill is?” Zhongyu Jiarui scoffed disdainfully. “You know nothing and yet dare to boast here. You should go back and learn a bit more before stepping out!
You’re just making a fool of yourself.”
She found it hard to believe that someone who didn’t even know what Spirit Coins were could produce a Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill! A complete ignoramus bragging here was truly shameless.
Ye Leng’an didn’t spare Zhongyu Jiarui a glance and looked directly at Zhong
Lingwan, asking, “You haven’t answered my question.”
Zhong Lingwan nodded and replied, “As long as you can immediately provide us with a Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill, you can take this spiritual plant now. Then, let us know the address, and we’ll send someone to collect the payment later.”
If the other party could genuinely produce a Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill, she believed that they wouldn’t default on the payment for a paltry sum of Spirit Coins. The value of a Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill couldn’t be estimated in Spirit Coins.
Observing Ye Lengan completely ignoring her, Zhongyu Jiarui remained unperturbed. She simply wanted to see what the other party could produce. At that point, she could mock them thoroughly.
Ye Lengan nodded. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, she casually turned her hand, and a small porcelain bottle materialized.
In the Hidden World, storage bags and similar items were not uncommon.
Hence, there was no need for concealment. She straightforwardly took out a Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill from her spatial storage.
Handing the bottle directly to Zhong Lingwan, she said, “This is the
Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill – undoubtedly a high-grade one. Feel free to send someone to verify.”
Instantly, all eyes focused on the small bottle in Ye Leng’an’s hand. However, their gazes carried skepticism. After all, who would carry a Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill around? Shouldn’t such a crucial item be safely stored at home?
Even when Zhong Lingwan and Zhongyu Jiarui mentioned immediately providing a Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill, they didn’t truly believe the other party could produce it immediately. They simply wanted the other party to back off.
“Country bumpkin, you’re overdoing it!” Zhongyu Jiarui sneered disdainfully. “How can someone like you possess such a precious pill? Stop pretending here; otherwise, you’ll become a laughingstock.”
However, with some doubt, Zhong Lingwan accepted the small bottle from Ye
Lengan.
Yet, as she took the small porcelain bottle, for some reason, a surge of excitement and nervousness filled her. Though hard to believe, an intense feeling rose within her that the small porcelain bottle might truly contain the Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill.
Amidst everyone’s gaze, Zhong Lingwan slowly opened the small porcelain bottle. Immediately, a fresh yet potent medicinal fragrance wafted out.
Upon catching the scent, everyone experienced a singular feeling – comfort. The mere medicinal fragrance imparted an unparalleled sense of ease as if all discomforts and age-old ailments in their bodies were alleviated.
“It truly is the Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill,” Zhong Lingwan closed the lid, her eyes brimming with surprise. She raised her head, looking at Ye Lengan again. Her expression now held much more reverence than before. “Miss, we still need to have someone appraise it. Would you mind waiting a moment?” Although she was almost certain the pill in Ye Leng’an’s hand was the Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pill, a professional appraisal and grading were still necessary..
