That night, both Lin Yinfly and Jia Guang managed to purchase most of the dicinal herbs listed by Zhou Yu.
Lin Yinfly and Jia Guang delivered the purchased herbs to Zhou Yu’s room.
"Mr. Zhou, we’ve bought most of the herbs you requested."
"There are only two items that are currently unavailable on the market."
"One is the Silver Dragon Wood Ganoderma, and the other is the Sky Wood Root."
At this point, he looked at Zhou Yu with a sowhat troubled expression, and said.
"I’ve asked around through many connections and found so leads, but..."
Seeing that Lin Yinfly stopped speaking, Zhou Yu frowned.
"But what?"
Lin Yinfly sighed.
"Right now, the only place with Silver Dragon Wood Ganoderma is the Dan Pavilion."
"But the Dan Pavilion has already banned supplying us at the Martial Pavilion. Trying to get Silver Dragon Wood Ganoderma from them might be... very difficult."
Zhou Yu was taken aback.
It wasn’t just difficult; given his current relationship with the Dan Pavilion, they were not about to give him the Silver Dragon Wood Ganoderma at all.
Zhou Yu’s thoughts raced, but he couldn’t co up with a good solution just yet, so he asked again:
"What about the Sky Wood Root?"
Jia Guang let out a bitter laugh.
"Mr. Zhou, the Sky Wood Root is also at the Dan Pavilion."
"However, besides the Dan Pavilion, both the Han Family and the Red Star Comrce each have one Sky Wood Root."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu’s brow furrowed deeply.
It seems he truly underestimated this Dan Pavilion.
But on second thought, it makes sense.
After all, the Dan Pavilion specializes in alchemy, so their stock of rare dicinal herbs is naturally unparalleled by others.
Having offended the Dan Pavilion now makes acquiring these two herbs all the more difficult.
Seeing Zhou Yu’s reaction, Lin Yinfly and Jia Guang exchanged uncertain glances.
Then, Lin Yinfly took a deep breath and asked:
"Mr. Zhou, what kind of pill do you plan to refine?"
"Are these two herbs crucial? Can’t they be replaced with alternatives?"
Zhou Yu shook his head.
"The pill I’m planning to refine is called the ’Breakthrough Saint Pill,’ which can increase the chance of an Innate expert breaking through to the Saint Realm by more than half."
"And the Silver Dragon Wood Ganoderma and Sky Wood Root are the two main ingredients for this Breakthrough Saint Pill."
"Both are indispensable."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yinfly and Jia Guang both showed looks of shock.
Increase the breakthrough chance by more than half?
That’s terrifyingly incredible.
This ans that most people, as long as they’re not terribly unlucky, could achieve a breakthrough after taking this pill.
No wonder Zhou Yu dared to expel Tong Qiang’s people without any hesitation.
Yet, without these two herbs, the Breakthrough Saint Pill might not be able to be refined after all.
Swooned with both joy and worry, the two of them found themselves in a dilemma.
At this mont, Zhou Yu spoke:
"Forget it, let’s not worry too much for now. Since, apart from the Dan Pavilion, both the Han Family and Red Star Comrce have Sky Wood Root."
"Let’s first go to Red Star Comrce and get the Sky Wood Root in hand."
"Yes."
It seems, for now, that might be the only course of action.
Lin Yinfly and Jia Guang could only nod in agreent.
...
Zhu Family.
Zhu Hongsheng quickly ran into the study of his father Zhu Tanggong.
"Dad, I just got so breaking news..."
Zhu Tanggong was in the middle of writing calligraphy when Zhu Hongsheng suddenly barged in, disrupting his strokes instantly.
Zhu Tanggong put down the brush heavily with a stern expression.
"How many tis have I told you, you need to be steady in conducting affairs, look at you, still so rash."
"Since you returned from Hai City last ti, you were supposed to reflect behind closed doors for so long, yet you haven’t improved at all."
Zhu Hongsheng hurriedly said:
"Dad, I’m sorry, I’ll be more careful next ti."
Zhu Tanggong, with a serious face, asked: "What happened?"
"Dad, I got word that Zhou Yu has offended the Dan Pavilion, and Master Ni from the Dan Pavilion has declared that they will cut off the supply of pill dicine to the Martial Pavilion from now on."
Zhu Tanggong, who was originally calm, had his expression suddenly change after hearing this news.
"What did you say???"
"The Dan Pavilion???"
"Is this news accurate???"
Zhu Hongsheng nodded repeatedly at once.
"Absolutely true."
"Dad, didn’t the old master order to drive Zhou Yu out of the city? Now, this is a heaven-sent opportunity, that brat Zhou Yu has just taken up the position as the head of the Martial Pavilion, not even ward his seat, yet he has caused such trouble."
"Pills are like lifeblood to the Martial Pavilion, there’s bound to be dissatisfaction internally against him."
"At this point, if we strike him secretly, he certainly won’t be able to stay here."
"Then, at best, he’d be ousted from the city, at worst, he might not even leave here alive..."
Zhu Hongsheng’s eyes were full of malicious smiles.
Zhu Tanggong heard this and pondered for a mont before nodding:
"If that’s true, then this indeed is a good opportunity."
"But, Hongsheng, are you sure this news is real?"
Zhu Hongsheng hurriedly said:
"Dad, believe , it’s absolutely real."
"The one Zhou Yu offended is Master Ni Chao of the Dan Pavilion, and his disciple is Tu njie. I have a very good relationship with him; he told personally."
Upon hearing this, a sharp light flashed in Zhu Tanggong’s eyes.
Everyone knows Tu njie is Master Ni Chao’s favored disciple, if it was him who said it, then it must be true.
"That’s good."
"Right now, we’ll go find your uncle and discuss this matter."
"Yes, Dad."
With a face full of excitent, Zhu Hongsheng followed his father out.
