Chapter 110: Chapter 37 Plant Essence
From the Martial Arts Hall.
Jiang Ning headed straight for the Wanhua Building.
His purpose for visiting Wanhua Building was quite simple.
Because he had consud all the Wild Ginseng.
As his strength grew, the amount of Wild Ginseng he consud greatly increased.
The Wild Ginseng he had used up over the past ten days or so was now depleted.
...
Now he intended to find tonics that suited him.
For that, the natural choice was Wanhua Building.
After all, he held a VIP Token, given to him by Shen Congyun.
With the VIP Token, he was entitled to have the maids send word to Lin Qingyi.
At the sa ti, the VIP Token also qualified him for discounts when purchasing items at Wanhua Building.
Which is why Wanhua Building naturally beca his destination.
Although the price of Zhou Xing’s Wild Ginseng was very suitable for him, and the cost-performance ratio was high.
Jiang Ning also understood there was no such thing as a free lunch.
Accepting Zhou Xing’s favors was to owe a debt of gratitude, which would eventually have to be repaid.
Moreover, the supplies he needed to buy this ti were not the sa as before, like ten or eight plants.
For ten or eight plants, Zhou Xing might well sell them to him at cost, giving them partly as a favor.
But his demand this ti was substantial.
Even if he did not have the nerve to ask for that price again, even if he did, Zhou Xing might not be willing to agree.
After all, Zhou family’s dicine shop also needed to make a profit.
….
A mont later.
Jiang Ning arrived at Wanhua Building.
As soon as he stepped through the grand doors of Wanhua Building, a maidservant dressed in a green skirt approached him.
“Greetings to Young Master Jiang!” The maidservant nad Little Lv walked up to Jiang Ning, perford a courteous salute, and then asked, “May I know if Young Master Jiang is here to see Master Lin today?”
Jiang Ning imdiately shook his head, “Here to buy so things, so tonics.”
“Understood, Young Master, please follow ,” said Little Lv softly and gently.
Hearing this, Jiang Ning promptly followed Little Lv to a corner on the first floor.
“Young Master! This here is the tonic section. Would you like to look around yourself, or shall I introduce so cost-effective tonics to you?” Little Lv inquired with a gentle voice.
Jiang Ning replied, “You can introduce to a few tonics with a high cost-performance ratio! Aim for the dicinal efficacy about that of ten years’ worth of Wild Ginseng! The most important thing is the cost-performance ratio.”
Little Lv listened attentively and did not nod until Jiang Ning had finished listing all his requirents.
“I understand! Please follow , Young Master.”
Shortly thereafter.
They walked a few steps.
Little Lv approached a counter.
She pointed toward a thumb-sized white jade bottle and said, “Young Master, this is Plant Essence refined by dicine King Valley.”
“Its dicinal effect is similar to that of ten years’ worth of Wild Ginseng, but it’s much stronger!”
“One bottle of this Plant Essence is roughly equivalent to twenty years’ worth of Wild Ginseng.”
“Compared to Wild Ginseng, its dicinal efficacy, after being formulated by the alchemists of dicine King Valley, is more balanced and easier to absorb, and the price is not expensive either – only thirty taels of silver for a bottle.”
Hearing this, Jiang Ning felt a stir in his heart.
Balanced and easy to absorb!
This was a point he valued.
Because as his physique grew, he could feel the diminishing auxiliary effect of Wild Ginseng on his body due to limited absorption, no matter whether he ate half at a ti or a whole one.
But an increased physique was equivalent to increased capacity.
The sa dicinal efficacy was fierce and potent for his once frail body.
But for his body now, the effect was gentler and weaker.
It was like the sa pipe pouring into a bucket, which could be filled in the ti it took to drink a cup of tea.
But if pouring into a large vat, it would take several hours.
This was the biggest difference between them.
Afterwards.
Under Little Lv’s guidance, Jiang Ning also looked at several other dicines.
After comparing the options, Jiang Ning decided upon the first tonic introduced by Little Lv, the Plant Essence.
After Jiang Ning made his choice,
Little Lv bowed slightly, “Young Master Jiang, may I ask how many bottles you wish to purchase? I can go fetch them for you right away.”
Jiang Ning said, “There’s no hurry! I want to try the effects first.”
“Of course!” Little Lv nodded.
She then crouched down, her long skirt spreading on the ground like a sun-facing lotus leaf.
She opened a wooden cabinet below, taking out a bottle of Plant Essence.
After standing up, she handed it to Jiang Ning, “Please try it, Young Master. I’ve heard it also tastes quite good.”
Jiang Ning nodded, taking the white jade bottle, thick as a thumb, from Little Lv.
Then,
he uncorked the bottle, tilted his head back slightly, and poured it into his mouth.
Imdiately,
a small blob of green liquid swiftly flowed into his mouth.
As the liquid entered his mouth, Jiang Ning imdiately felt a cool sensation rushing straight to the top of his head, his mind shook, and his thoughts beca extraordinarily clear.
It was like drinking a mouthful of mint water.
Afterwards,
the liquid went down his throat into his belly.
Jiang Ning suddenly felt an invigorating coolness, and the heat in his body instantly dissipated.
His body temperature seed to drop a few degrees as well.
He couldn’t help but close his eyes slightly, rely feeling the changes in his body.
He wanted to decide whether or not to buy Plant Essence as his first choice of tonic based on the reactions of his body.
…
Elsewhere,
in the attic of the Wanhua Building.
As a maid dressed in a pink gown reported Jiang Ning’s arrival to her,
Lin Qingyi imdiately sat up from the soft couch.
“This little fellow actually ca to Wanhua Building today. Perfect, it allows to see for myself, to see just how far this little fellow’s Refining Skin has progressed,” she murmured to herself, excitent rising in her face.
Then, she mused aloud, “This little fellow went out of town alone previously and actually managed to kill a strong Ninth Grade Martial Artist like Hong Chengtao.”
With that, Lin Qingyi’s expression suddenly filled with suspicion, “Could it be that Shen Congyun really left him a precious item for self-defense before he left in secret?”
…
A mont later.
Tap tap tap—
Accompanied by a series of soft footsteps, Lin Qingyi turned a corner and saw Jiang Ning with his eyes lightly closed.
At the sight of Jiang Ning, Lin Qingyi’s gaze sharpened slightly, a hint of surprise in her heart.
This kid seems different again.
His Qi-Blood is much stronger than when I last saw him; I can even feel the robust Qi Blood Power coming from him.
Young people indeed! Such vigorous Qi-Blood!
Their physical endurance must be excellent!
At that mont,
even with his eyes closed, Jiang Ning sensed a gaze that put considerable pressure on him, a warning brought on by his heightened senses.
Then, he swiftly opened his eyes.
And saw Lin Qingyi, dressed in a green long dress, standing about three ters away.
“Sister Lin!” Jiang Ning imdiately called out.
Lin Qingyi’s lips curled into a smile, “Little brother, what brings you to my place today?”
Jiang Ning showed her the empty bottle which had contained the Plant Essence.
“Sister Lin, I ca to Wanhua Building to buy so tonics to support my martial arts practice.”
“I see!” Lin Qingyi nodded and walked towards Jiang Ning with a smile.
At the sa ti,
the maid who had been attending Jiang Ning heard his address to Lin Qingyi, her heart brimming with respect.
To be able to rely on Master Lin’s support, smart move!!
His body must be amazing!!
