Chapter 377 - 377: Alchemy Room, Medicine Field!
The elders of Hundred Herbs Hall, upon seeing this, coldly said to Qin Feng, "It seems you can't prove anything, just get out of here!"
"Yes, we at Hundred Herbs Hall do not welcome trash from the mortal world as guests!"
"..."
Upon seeing this, Qin Feng paused for a moment, then said to Master Guo, "Master, why don't you contact the higher-ups, then you will know."
"Hmph, still being defiant, huh? Do you want us to throw you out?" an elder coldly said.
"Driving me out is fine, but have you considered the consequences? It's not as simple as just leaving the Hundred Herbs Hall." Qin Feng's eyes were sharp, making the elder unconsciously shiver.
Upon seeing this, Master Guo couldn't help but frown sharply.
The elder was a Half-step Master in cultivation, while Qin Feng was merely an Inner Strength Martial Disciple, a world of difference between their strengths, yet he was intimidated by a mere look from Qin Feng.
Qin Feng, judging from the situation, did not seem like a con artist.
He hesitated for a moment.
Still, he decided to be cautious, smiling at Qin Feng and said, "Fine, then I will immediately contact the higher-ups, and please, Mr. Qin, stay at Hundred Herbs Hall for now."
No choice.
He didn't dare to gamble recklessly, better to be cautious.
Even if fooled, dealing with him later is also an option.
Then.
Master Guo immediately had someone draw a portrait of Qin Feng and wrote a letter, which was tied to the leg of a Spiritual Pigeon, sending it to the Spirit Cloud Pavilion.
People of the Hidden World rarely use mobile phones.
They unanimously believe that mobile phones could expose their movements and even cause minor radiation, which significantly affects the fluctuations of Spiritual Energy.
Of course.
The most important point is that in the depths of these mountains, there is mostly no signal.
Some places have signal, and some carry phones.
Places like Five Rings Mountain, Dragon and Tiger Village, and others.
These spiritual pigeons fly very fast, the higher the grade, the faster they fly, even the high-grade spiritual pigeons are much faster than high-speed trains.
But from here to the previous headquarters, Spirit Cloud Pavilion, it is very far,
Back and forth, it will take a day.
This day, both Qin Feng and Ai Yeqing naturally had to stay at Hundred Herbs Hall.
Granny Hu and others immediately headed back to the village, as they didn't believe what Qin Feng said was true, so they came back to prepare Ai Yeqing's dowry early, thinking that once Ai Yeqing flourished, she could help develop the village quite a bit.
Qin Feng and Ai Yeqing wandered around the Hundred Herbs Hall, watching their own property, while walking, they remarked, "This place is indeed rich in Spiritual Energy, a good place for alchemy. Divine Doctor Zhuge really did a great job, finding such a treasure land for the Wang Family."
"Speaking of which, is Hundred Herbs Hall really yours?" Ai Yeqing still asked in disbelief.
"Of course, why would I lie." Qin Feng said.
The two walked around on the green bricks, and asked Master Guo, "By the way, where is the alchemy room? Take me to see it." This chapter first appeared on *.
"..."
Master Guo was quite dissatisfied with his attitude.
He hadn't yet proven that he was the new owner of Hundred Herbs Hall, yet he was giving orders, which was really annoying.
But the more Qin Feng acted like this,
The more credible he seemed to be.
He also didn't dare to overstep, leading Qin Feng to a very large area full of buildings.
The buildings were tall and long.
At a glance, there were eighteen alchemy furnaces, each more than a man's height.
Many alchemists were adding fire in front of the pill furnaces, each furnace emitting blue smoke, engaged in alchemy.
Next door, a room served as the medicine material storage.
Various kinds of medicinal materials were sorted by dedicated personnel, preparing for the next batch of elixirs.
"Not bad at all, quite orderly."
Qin Feng stated with satisfaction, his hands clasped behind his back.
Seeing the variety of rare medicinal materials in the medicine warehouse, Qin Feng asked, "Are these all grown in our own medicine fields?"
"How could that be possible," Master Guo responded, "Only a small portion is grown by ourselves. The local climate and geography only allow us to cultivate a few types of diluted medicinal materials, and even those are not in large quantities. Therefore, most of these materials are purchased."
"I see, then take me to see the medicine fields!"
As Qin Feng spoke, he walked out.
Master Guo followed behind feeling quite gloomy, as if he were just a lackey.
Even when Grandmasters come to buy medicine, he had never acted like this.
A moment later.
The three reached the medicine fields in the backyard.
The area of the medicine field was about the size of a soccer field, divided into sixteen sections, each planting different medicinal materials.
Considering that, the quantity indeed seemed a bit small.
"Ah, I thought Hundred Herbs Hall was more valuable," Qin Feng sighed.
...
Upon hearing this, Master Guo's face flushed with anger.
Hundred Herbs Hall not valuable?
Since taking over Hundred Herbs Hall, everything had been managed orderly and the development was stable. He had established good relationships with many powerful groups. Although Hundred Herbs Hall was small, many major powers still had to give them some respect!
How had it become "not valuable" in the hands of this mere Inner Strength Martial Disciple?
Seeing Master Guo's displeased expression, Qin Feng smiled and said, "Master Guo, do you see that mountain in front?"
"I see it, what about it?"
Master Guo glanced ahead.
Qin Feng continued, "What do you think if that entire mountain was planted with diluted medicinal materials to supply the Hundred Herbs Hall, what would the development look like?"
...
Master Guo was briefly stunned, but then immediately shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "Don't joke around. Nowadays, it's simply not possible to have such a large area for medicine fields. Even the most powerful Medicine God Valley in the alchemy world does not have such large medicine fields; they rely mostly on purchasing as well."
"Of course, if you're speaking hypothetically, if there really were such large medicine fields, the costs would be much lower, and with more variety, the types of elixirs produced would also increase. In less than two years... no, in less than a year, I think Hundred Herbs Hall could be mentioned in the same breath as Medicine God Valley!"
"It's just a thought, though."
...
Master Guo sighed.
Qin Feng heard this and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Not bad. I've been around Hundred Herbs Hall for quite a while, and I think you manage it well. You're not just passing the days; you also have ambition."
...
Master Guo felt utterly disrespected in his heart.
This guy had started talking to him using a boss's tone again, even though he had yet to prove himself, which was really frustrating.
"In that case."
Qin Feng said very seriously, "You should prepare to expand!"
"Expand?"
Master Guo didn't understand.
"That's right, expand. It won't be long before you won't have to worry about collecting rare medicinal materials. Get ready to go big." Qin Feng looked back at the medicinal fields and said, "Dig all these up and then on this spot, build an alchemy base. In this location, you could produce high-grade elixirs."
...
Master Guo was utterly speechless.
Is he crazy, or am I the foolish one?
Let's not even talk about expanding.
Just the medicine field itself!
This medicine field was not easily found by Old Divine Doctor Zhuge, and it was already very rare nowadays. Although not large, it could be used to specifically cultivate some valuable medicinal materials, saving quite a lot of costs.
How could it simply be dug up?
