"I see... The pill provides a glimr of hope for others to live longer and strive for a breakthrough." Hong Zhou said with a soft smile playing on his lips.
"However, you can also take this pill to prolong your lifeti by up to fifty years." Yu Qi added, pointing at the final glass jar.
"You an...?" Luse Man stared intently at the jar Yu Qi indicated.
"This is Deep Green Longevity Pill. As I said earlier, this pill can prolong the lifeti of the cultivator up to 50 years. Crucially, this ans even if you have already consud the Second Grade Prolongation Pill, you can still use this to add fifty more years to your life." Yu Qi explained.
"So, after taking both types of pills, we cannot take them anymore?" Lan He asked.
"That’s right." Yu Qi nodded.
"So, should one eat the first pill, wait for their ti to nearly run out, and then finally take the next pill?" Huang Jin asked, considering the strategy.
"Yes... However, it does not strictly matter which pill you consu first. You can eat the Deep Green Longevity Pill imdiately if you wish. It is not a requirent to eat both. If you manage to break through to the next level after the first one, you will not have to eat the second pill." Yu Qi said.
The four guardians nodded as they understood the explanation.
"About the price..." Luse Man inquired tentatively.
"Hmm... I don’t know much about the price here. I will leave those details in your capable hands." Yu Qi replied.
"We understand." Luse Man nodded.
"Alright, that is all for now." Yu Qi stated. She then paused as she rembered sothing important. "Oh... all of you may take two of each pill for yourselves. Consider them paynt for managing the auction on my behalf."
"Thank you, Miss Yu Qi." The four guardians bowed their heads.
"We are going to bed to rest." Yu Qi concluded.
"Yes, Miss Yu Qi." The four guardians responded respectfully.
...
The following morning, Yu Qi and Long Hui woke early. They needed to depart from the cultivation world and return to the outside world, as Yu Qi was scheduled to work the next day. Consequently, they had to make their way back to FINN City.
Yu Qi expressed her gratitude to the four guardians once more before they made their exit. When they finally crossed back into the outside world, they were t with falling rain. Fortunately, it was a light drizzle rather than a downpour. They made their way down the mountain steadily.
After returning their rental vehicle, Yu Qi attempted to contact Qin Xia to et him before their departure. Unfortunately, Qin Xia was away from the Capital City on business, so a eting was not possible.
Yu Qi and Long Hui arrived back in FINN City that afternoon. Imdiately, Yu Qi called her family to inform them of her safe return.
They were delighted to hear from her, yet they didn’t press her for details regarding her business. They maintained a firm belief that Yu Qi would never involve herself in anything truly dangerous, especially not with Long Hui by her side.
The next day, they headed to the hospital. As Yu Qi walked in, the nurses spotted her and offered warm greetings, so even giving her a supportive thumbs-up. Initially, Yu Qi was puzzled by the gesture.
However, after crossing paths with Nurse Shin Teng, the mystery was solved. It appeared that Nurse Shin Teng had shared the details of what had transpired during the charity program.
Upon finishing her hospital shift, Yu Qi received a call from Ming Xuehai, who wished to discuss an urgent matter. Yu Qi agreed, suggesting they discuss it over dinner.
They arranged to et at a restaurant, and naturally, Long Hui tagged along. There was no world in which he would leave his beloved Qi Qi to attend a eting alone.
Ming Xuehai arrived with his assistant. It was a woman. Her na was Lin Weiwei. This was Yu Qi’s first ti eting her. When Yu Qi’s eyes t Lin Weiwei’s, the assistant’s face instantly flushed a deep red. Surprised, Yu Qi turned to Ming Xuehai for an explanation.
"Oh... Actually, she is a huge fan of yours." Ming Xuehai explained.
"My fan?" Yu Qi was taken aback by the revelation.
"That’s right. Do you know her primary reason for joining the firm?" Ming Xuehai asked with a hint of amusent
"What would that be?" Yu Qi asked, her curiosity piqued.
"She said she wanted to learn more about you. Becoming my assistant was simply her first step toward that goal." Ming Xuehai revealed.
Yu Qi chuckled softly. "I see. And is she skilled at her work?"
"I would not have hired her as my assistant if she weren’t excellent at what she does." Ming Xuehai replied confidently.
"I am glad to hear that," Yu Qi said. turning back to Lin Weiwei. "It is a pleasure to et you, Ms Lin. Keep up the good work."
Lin Weiwei nodded fervently, unable to hide her excitent.
"Well, let’s talk business. Why did you need to see tonight?" Yu Qi asked, shifting the focus.
"This is the report regarding Sheng Logistics." Ming Xuehai said, sliding a thick file across the table toward her.
Yu Qi reached for the file and opened it. As she skimd the contents, a frown marred her features.
"This..." Yu Qi looked up at Ming Xuehai, her expression grim.
"Yes. We found a direct connection between Sheng Logistics and Sunwei Village." Ming Xuehai confird.
Sunwei Village was the infamous location where Yu Qi and other female staff mbers had been drugged.
