Chapter 1495: Chapter 767: Supreme Confidence (Part 2)
In the past few days, the younger generation of "Hundred-Mile City" has remained quiet. Qing Shui feels delighted, although he finds it a bit odd, but he doesn’t waste time pondering the reasons behind it. He focuses all his attention on understanding and cultivating the various spiritual herbs he has transplanted into the Violet Jade Fairy Realm.
Now, in his space domain, there is already a large patch of vegetation. Green, yellow, red, different colors intertwined together, forming a beautiful scene similar to a tourist attraction on the previously barren land of the Violet Jade Fairy Realm.
The spiritual herbs are no longer just seedlings; with the time dilation effect of the space domain aiding their growth, they are showing vigorous vitality. According to Qing Shui’s estimation, aside from the time dilation effect, he firmly believes that the mysterious water in the Crystal Pool seems to be full of infinite spiritual breath and is also related to it.
From his experience gained at the Hundred Medicine Garden, he learned that some spiritual herbs would inevitably wilt and die. However, to his surprise, he concluded that the vibrant life seems to indicate that the herbs he transplanted into the space domain here would not wilt and die.
Looking at the vast green plants, Qing Shui can feel inner calm. It’s as if he is excited about the growth of herbs and confident in his knowledge. He has something to rely on, which is higher than those wealthy youths from the powerful clans.
In fact, this huge source of wealth requires at least 10 years to completely mature. Ten years outside mean 1000 years in the space domain. A massive batch of spiritual herbs that already has a thousand-year history, who can produce such a large amount of herbs? Just thinking about it fills Qing Shui with endless aspirations and excitement.
He should not count the chickens before they hatch. Qing Shui shook his head to clear his thoughts and then went to check the black branch he had planted in the soil earlier. He found that the surface of the branch had become smoother and wetter, but had no other changes. He frowned and decided to continue leaving it in the soil and watering it. Qing Shui was unsure if this black branch or root could sprout, bloom, or bear fruit.
The business pace of the Qing Clan Pharmacy is relatively slow, not very busy. Most of their customers are mainly pharmacy owners and proprietors of spiritual medicinal herb shops from Hundred-Mile City, coming to buy raw materials.
Besides shop owners, there are citizens from Hundred-Mile City who fell ill and sought medical assistance. Apart from these two types of customers, they also have some customers looking to purchase rare herbs that cannot be found in other spiritual herb shops or pharmacies.
In addition to selling spiritual herbs, the Qing Family’s pharmacy establishes their supply by cultivating their own herbs and purchasing from others. Part of their supply also comes from people who go up the mountains to collect herbs, or those who grow their own herbs. Of course, the purchase price of herbs is significantly lower than the selling price, as the Qing Family still needs further processing before crafting them into refined products and selling them.
Additionally, the Qing Family’s pharmacy has reached a trade agreement with Tianhe City. They often exchange the rare precious herbs that Tianhe City lacks for the rare precious herbs that Hundred-Mile City lacks. It’s a win-win situation!
Speaking of Tianhe City, Qing Shui couldn’t help but recall Lan Yan’er, the girl whom cousin Qing Hu has always longed for. Although Lan Yan’er has completed her adolescent stage, possessing a mature girl’s figure, and indeed quite attractive, he couldn’t help but feel she is still a child.
Qing Shui always felt this girl was nothing but trouble.
The reason the Qing Clan could reach a trade agreement with Tianhe City is that Tianhe City is much larger than Hundred-Mile City, and more prosperous than Baili City, due to the Qing Clan’s very close relationship with the Tianhe Hua Clan. City!
The Hua Clan Leader was once saved by Qing Luo. His relationship with Qing Luo was extremely close, and when they struck an agreement, they decided to become sworn brothers. At that time, they did not inquire about each other’s backgrounds; all they knew was that one was from Tianhe City and the other from Qing Village.
It wasn’t until much later, when they visited each other during festivals, that Qing Luo discovered his sworn brother Hua Suiyun was from the Hua Family. The Hua Family is one of the richest clans in Tianhe City, and now the current clan leader. Hua Clan Leader.
Although the Hua Family can be considered a powerful clan in Tianhe City, there are still many other clans that surpass them in status and power. After all, places like the "Heavenly River City" cannot be compared with the "Hundred-Mile City."
Qing Shui heard Qing Yi say that recently, the Hua Clan Leader Hua Suiyun successfully broke through to the legendary realm of Innate Realm, further consolidating the Hua Family’s status in Tianhe City. Thinking back to that time, his power was comparable to Qing Luo, but now there is a world of difference between them.
Innate and postnatal, one is heaven, and the other is earth. Luo Qing (10) is at the peak of postnatal in the tenth grade of the Military Commander area. As long as he can take this small step into the door of Innate, he will immediately turn from a sparrow into a Phoenix. Although it’s a pity, after all, in the Nine Great Continents, there are many cultivators at the same level as Qing Luo. How could taking the last step be so easy? The estimated probability of being able to enter the Innate realm is less than one ten-thousandth!
Ever since Hua Suiyun broke into the Innate region, he handed all clan business over to his son. He repeatedly emphasized that the Hua Family must spare no effort to help with any trivial matter the Qing Clan needs in the future. Consequently, a trade agreement was reached, most of the revenue flowed into the Qing Clan’s treasury.
The relationships between the two clans are extremely close. Hua Suiyun has long treated Qing Yi as his own girl. Therefore, all the business exchanges between the Qing Family and Hua Family are handled by Qing Yi.
"Mother, when you visit Tianhe City in the future, can you take me with you? I want to see the sights of Tianhe City!" Qing Shui shouted excitedly after learning the details of the connection between their two families.
"Sure, I will introduce you to Grandpa Yin!" Qing Yi replied with a smile.
"By the way, speaking of which, these spiritual herbs were recently sent from Tianhe City." What kind of spiritual herb is this?" Qing Shui shivered with excitement. Although he roughly knew the answer to the question, he still decided to inquire about it for confirmation.
"This is Four-leaf Flower. This spiritual herb only grows in Tianhe Valley of Tianhe City. Although it looks ordinary, the effects and benefits it contains are enormous. It’s one of the key ingredients for concocting Universal Medicine used to treat severe illnesses, and in the entire Hundred-Mile City, only the Qing Clan possesses this herb."
"As expected, that’s Four-leaf Flower. Qing Shui was excited, as if recognizing an old friend. He finally found something familiar in this world!" Qing Shui, holding the Four-leaf Flower, examined it closely.
"Four-leaf Flower, this is one of the most prized spiritual herbs when Qing Shui performed ’Western Fantasy’ in his previous world. Thinking it’s a valuable resource in Hundred-Mile City. Nonetheless, he’s uncertain which grade the Four-leaf Flower belongs to. He only knows that for level 3 and above spiritual herbs, only Alchemists can refine medicine from it."
Qing Yi visits Tianhe City twice a year. Each trip takes at least a month. The first visit is at the beginning of the year, and the second visit is in the fall. Qing Yi has only recently returned from Tianhe City, and the next trip is about six months away.
"Mother, do you know which is the most powerful clan in Hundred-Mile City?" Qing Shui asked while helping Qing Yi store the batch of spiritual herbs from Tianhe City.
On the surface, the most powerful clans here are: the Shi Clan, Situ Clan, Yu Clan, Ding Clan. But no one knows how many legendary cultivators from the Innate realm are there. However, how many Innate cultivators are willing to stay in such a small city? Larger and more powerful cities offer unimaginable wealth and benefits to attract Innate cultivators to join.
"The owner of Yuhe Inn who you recently met belongs to the Yu Family!" Qing Yi continued with a smile, while the memory of Yuhe pinching Qing Shui’s cheek floated in his mind.
