Chapter 390 - 390: Making Elixirs!
"Indeed."
Qin Feng understood her meaning.
Really.
If a large medicine field were cultivated, its value would be immeasurable and would certainly be targeted by many.
Without real skills, one simply couldn't defend such a prize.
With the Mu Family's power, it was even less likely to be defensible.
The Mu Family's influence in the country wasn't even comparable to that of the Long Family of Jiang City.
The Long Family was backed by Qingyang Pavilion.
The person the Mu Family sacrificed to was only a Half-step Master.
"This is just right."
Qin Feng said, "It spares us many details for discussion."
Previously, he had thought about hiring Mu Jiangyue to help cultivate the medicine field and how to distribute the benefits afterward, but now it's perfect since he would be acquiring the Mu Family, making everything negotiable.
Mu Jiangyue later closely reviewed Qin Feng.
Knowing that he was the man behind Fengyun Group and also learned from Lord Dog that he was from Dragon and Tiger Village.
Therefore, she could only seek his help.
Of course.
Most importantly, she found Qin Feng to be a reliable person.
"Alright, tomorrow I will first take you to see the progress of the medicine field. Once it's completed, we can use rare medicinal materials as a medium to establish relationships with the Hidden World experts, and our business will also make a qualitative leap." Mu Jiangyue said.
"No, no."
Qin Feng waved his hand, saying, "Our primary task is to use the medicinal materials for Hundred Herbs Hall, then consider others."
"Oh? This... might offend quite a few people, right?" Mu Jiangyue said.
"No worries, let's look after our own first." Qin Feng said.
"Our own? But even if we have a good relationship with Master Guo, we would only be offending others by then."
"I forgot to tell you, Hundred Herbs Hall is ours."
"What?!"
Mu Jiangyue was utterly shocked.
Ours? Text acquired from M|V|LEMP&YR.
Although Hundred Herbs Hall was not very large, its strength was formidable, and with elixirs as the medium, many experts were their clients, making it a very reliable organization.
And it was something the Mu Family couldn't compare to.
She initially thought that Qin Feng managed to invite Master Guo here because it was about future supplies of rare medicinal materials.
She hadn't imagined that Hundred Herbs Hall was his, no wonder Master Guo was so friendly towards him.
"How did you manage that? As far as I know, Hundred Herbs Hall belongs to Spirit Cloud Pavilion, a property of the Beijing Wang Family, one of the Four Great Families of Beijing." Mu Jiangyue said unbelievably.
"Uh, I took a trip to Yanjing a few days ago." Qin Feng replied.
"..."
Mu Jiangyue didn't know what to say.
A trip to Yanjing, and he acquired Hundred Herbs Hall just like that? He made it sound too simple...
Ever since Qin Feng left the Southwest, she had been keeping up with news about him.
She knew about his trip to Yanjing.
She had thought he went to Yanjing to find his wife, and the medicine field development had reached a critical stage, so she did not know what Qin Feng had accomplished in Yanjing.
She didn't expect he would end up acquiring Hundred Herbs Hall.
"So, in addition to rare medicinal materials, we need to develop elixirs in the future," Qin Feng said.
"..."
Mu Jiangyue was stunned.
Develop elixirs?
Just the rare medicinal materials alone could bring a qualitative leap; now, they could directly develop elixirs, which was akin to One-step Ascension!
She was becoming more and more puzzled by Qin Feng.
She hadn't expected him to possess such means, even developing elixirs!
"But, wouldn't that be even more dangerous?"
Mu Jiangyue was excited internally, yet her mind was calm, saying, "With elixirs, this piece of cake is even bigger, and more people will want a piece. The reason why the Beijing Wang Family could grow and not be disturbed is because their Elixir Medicine Halls were mainly established by Divine Doctor Zhuge, but we are different, we don't have a major backing."
"Backing?"
Qin Feng smiled wryly, "Aren't I the backing?"
"..."
Mu Jiangyue took a deep breath and continued, "I know you are incredible, capable of taming the Poisonous Insect King White Ghost, but the Hidden World is completely different from our world, it's truly a place where dragons hide and tigers lurk."
"Rest assured, no one touches my cheese without getting a fight from me."
Qin Feng said with a laugh.
Mu Jiangyue saw that he didn't take it seriously, and she still felt a bit worried.
She checked the time.
Having already stayed in the room for over an hour, she stood up and said, "Let's continue this discussion tomorrow! I should be going back now."
"Wait a minute!" Qin Feng called out to her, saying, "Come here, sit here."
"Oh?"
Mu Jiangyue hesitated for a moment but walked over and sat beside his bed.
Somehow, sitting on his bed made her breathe faster and her heart race, but she maintained her composure and asked, "What's up?"
Just as she asked,
She saw Qin Feng's hand reaching out, trying to play with her hair.
She instinctively dodged, her face turning slightly pink.
"Don't move." Qin Feng said.
"..."
For some reason, she couldn't quite explain herself, but she let him gently touch her hair, feeling her face flush and her heartbeat almost stopping.
Was he going to do something to her?
No.
He wasn't that kind of person.
He was already someone's husband.
Though there was a marriage agreement, the agreements were fake.
But.
What if he really looked at her that way?
The more she thought, the more breathless she felt, more unsure of what to do.
At that moment,
After playing with her hair, Qin Feng withdrew his hand and said, "Alright, you can go now."
"Ah?"
Mu Jiangyue was utterly confused.
What did he mean by that?
Telling her to leave?
Was he not intending to...do that with her?
Qin Feng awkwardly explained then, "Heh, a messy hair makes it look like something happened."
"..."
Hearing this, Mu Jiangyue's face darkened.
So, after all this time, he just wanted to create the impression that something had happened between them!
Helpless.
She really wanted to strangle Qin Feng.
But she thought it over and decided to leave it be for now.
Otherwise, letting the family elders back home find out nothing happened between her and Qin Feng would only lead them to start pushing for marriage again, which would be too troublesome.
"I'm leaving!"
She glared at Qin Feng disappointedly and got up to leave.
Just after she left,
Qin Feng took a deep breath and said, "Tsk, it's good that she left. She's really too sexy. Just now, when I was playing with her hair, she didn't even dodge. I almost couldn't hold myself back... I need to go to sleep, otherwise the more I think, the more unbearable it gets..."
After Mu Jiangyue left,
The family elders, including the grandfather, big uncle, and second uncle, pretended to be strolling and chatting around the yard.
Seeing her tousled hair, they all got excited.
"It's settled, those two are set!" the big uncle said.
"Yeah! And for over an hour, I must say, it's good to be young! That long..."
"It's not about being young; it's Xiao Feng's stamina. You couldn't last that long when you were young!"
"..."
The elders each sighed.
Passing by them, Mu Jiangyue with a frown on her face, muttered greetings and quickly left.
After taking a few steps,
She heard the grandfather and others discussing, "You guys think, with such a long time, could she possibly 'hit the jackpot'?"
