Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser - Chapter 1468

1468 More Shock Than Joy
Chi Shuyan arrived at the restaurant ahead of time, but Jing Hengran was even earlier. When she saw him in the private room, Chi Shuyan relaxed when she saw that he was in good condition and his complexion was rosy. It was good that there weren’t any problems with her pills.

Of course, if the Jing family inexplicably said that there was something wrong with her pills, she wouldn’t admit it. She had refined three batches and had used the rest of the pills. She was fine, so naturally, there was nothing wrong with her pills.

Before she came, she thought that if the Jing family made things difficult for her, she could just terminate the contract.

Since everything was fine, she looked at Jing Hengran like he was an incomparably rare herb. To some extent, he could be considered her sugar daddy. Hence, Chi Shuyan gave him a big smile when she saw him.

Chi Shuyan was enthusiastic, but Jing Hengran was even more enthusiastic. He was even more solicitous this time round. He took the initiative to pull out a chair for her with a smile. “Miss Chi, have a seat!”

!!
The other party was especially good at not being overly obsequious, but instead came across as gallant. In addition, he had good looks. For a moment, Chi Shuyan had a better impression of the man surnamed Jing in front of her. If they could have a good chat this time, she would have to go to the Jing Auction House more often to choose herbs. A sincere smile appeared on her face. She immediately sat down and teased, “Young Master Jing seems to be in a good mood today!”

Jing Hengran suppressed the excitement in his heart when he saw her. On the surface, he looked calm, but only he knew the stormy waves in his heart.

Jing Hengran really didn’t expect to accidentally pick up a treasure, and a rare peerless treasure at that. Now, it was up to him to make Chi Shuyan stay.

At the thought of the three Spirit Gathering Pills which the other party had delivered on schedule a few days ago, Jing Hengran was extremely excited. That wasn’t the most important thing. The most important thing was that the effects of the three Spirit Gathering Pills clearly far exceeded his expectations, which was unbelievable.

Speaking of which, although he had been excited about the cooperation at first, he had also been worried and afraid that the other party wouldn’t be able to hand over the three Spirit Gathering Pills on time. In the days following their last meeting, he learned from Qian Zhengde that there had been no news from the other party, nor had she contacted them. He took the initiative to contact her, but there had been no reply. The more he mulled over it, the more uncertain he became.

He was afraid that the other party wouldn’t be able to deliver even a single pill in the end. Later on, his expectations dropped, and he thought that if the other party could only refine one pill, he would still accept it as long as the effects of the pill were still better than usual, even if it wasn’t a level 3 pill; it would just barely be a profit.

He had already adjusted his mindset, but he never expected the other party to give him such a huge surprise. Not only did she deliver the three Spirit Gathering Pills as soon as possible, when the Jing family tested them, they discovered that the spiritual energy in these three Spirit Gathering Pills was abundant and far exceeded that of other medicinal pills. They were authentic level 3 medicinal pills, and were very rare.

As soon as he took one of the pills, it immediately took effect. Not only was it abundant in spiritual energy, there were no impurities or side effects after taking it, and his cultivation immediately rose to a new level.

It had to be pointed out that the spiritual energy on Earth right now was depleted, and it was very difficult to rise to the next cultivation level. The higher the level, the harder it was to make progress. Sometimes, it was even harder than ascending to the heavens.

For example, the cultivation of several generations of ancient martial families had already reached a bottleneck at the moment, and it was very hard to rise to a new level.

Given how depleted spiritual energy was in today’s society, one could imagine how precious the Spirit Gathering Pill was. Just one level 3 Spirit Gathering Pill could probably cause huge waves among the ancient martial families.

One could imagine the pleasant surprise that this young lady had given Jing Hengran. To some extent, it was more shock than delight; it was too astonishing and unbelievable to him.

At the same time, he had really underestimated the young lady in front of him. Her production rate was so high that she could be said to be at the Master level. More importantly, she could refine level 3 pills, and could even produce one pill with every set of medicinal herbs, or even more.

Jing Hengran naturally knew that although the young lady in front of him was young, she wasn’t immature at all. She naturally wouldn’t make a loss for herself, and it was possible that her success rate was higher, but she was hiding her abilities.

Of course, although Jing Hengran could tell that the other party was hiding her abilities and had a high success rate in refining pills, there was no way he would think that she could produce eight pills from one set of herbs, some of them even supreme-grade pills. As for the pills she gave him, they were all lower-grade pills of inferior quality.

Jing Hengran thought that the other party would only have one or two more pills at most, which meant that with three batches of herbs, the other party could probably produce four or five pills, including high-grade level 3 medicinal pills.

In other words, there was a high chance that the other party could refine four or five level 3 Spirit Gathering Pills with three batches of herbs.

Thinking this, Jing Hengran was so excited that his eyes turned red and his fingers trembled slightly. The way he looked at the person in front of him became even more different.

Jing Hengran suppressed the astonishment and excitement in his heart and tried his best to remain calm as he replied, “Miss Chi, my complexion is indeed good today and I’m in a good mood. It’s all thanks to your pills. I hope our cooperation will continue to be pleasant in the future!”

It would have been fine if he didn’t know about the other party’s alchemy skills and abilities. Now that he did, Jing Hengran wanted to worship her as his ancestor. At the same time, he regretted even more that they hadn’t stipulated a longer time frame when the two of them signed the contract back then. It would be best if the other party could provide him with medicinal pills for the rest of his life.

The more he knew about her alchemy skills and standards, the more anxious he was to keep her, afraid that she would suddenly stop cooperating with them. Whether it was her success rate or her distinctive temperament, she was one of a kind. He had never seen such a first-class alchemist in his life.

The more Jing Hengran thought about it, the more glad he was that he had come to the capital and encountered such a huge opportunity. Of course, it was fine even if she really wasn’t the one who refined the pills. Given how she could repeatedly produce pills like these, it could be seen that she had a special relationship with the alchemist.

So, whether or not she was the one who had refined these pills didn’t matter much. He had to hold on to her.
