Chapter 151 - Concurrent Village (1/2)
“Keeper Kong, Kong De Liang, so it’s him!”
At the beginning, besides Yang Junshan’s encouragement, Yang Tiangang also wanted to find other spirit grass seeds but it was not easy. On the other hand, it was easier to find the seeds.
What he did not expect was that after the second year of maturing, the county Great Cauldron Hall actually spread the news of them buying the strange fruit aigh price, following that, the Great Cauldron Hall released another batch of Fa Yun Pills with a medicinal efficacy that was only ninety percent of the previous batch. Although the medicinal strength of the pills had decreased a bit, the quantity had increased a lot, adding the fact that the price had also decreased, the Mengyu County bought a lot of them, and very quickly, all of the pills were sold out.
Very quickly, the news that the Great Cauldron Hall had improved the method of refining the cloud pill spread out. It was said that this method was at the cost of sacrificing ten percent of the cloud pill’s medicinal strength, so as to avoid the risk of repeatedly exploding the furnace when the pill was formed, greatly increasing the success rate, and the improved method was definitely related to the strange taste fruit.
Yang Tiangang, who was worrying that the strange fruit might be sold cheaply, immediately sent someone to deliver a batch of strange fruit to the Great Cauldron Hall when he heard the news. As for the three shopkeepers of the Great Cauldron Hall, at the same time that they were ecstatic, they also suddenly realized why Yang Junshan told them about the improved pill formula at that time.
The Great Cauldron Hall who had wanted to get to know Yang Tiangang, the new rising expert of the Mengyu County, immediately went to the Tuqiu Village to maketurn visit once it found out that Yang Tiangang had a middle ranked Ling Tian, and Yang Tiangang also promised the middle ranked Ling Tian in his hands to plant a strange fruit in two-thirds of the year. At the same time, the middle ranked Ling Tian of the Blacksmith Zhang and the Xu family also planted a strange fruit in their fields when Yang Tiangang had provided them with seeds.
Although the Great Cauldron Hall was quite famous in the Mengyu County, in truth, it had been two years since then. The three great clans of the Mengyu County were training their respective alchemists, and their actions were becoming more and more self-centered, trying to cultivate an independent system, and it just so happened that the majority of the middle tier Ling Tian in the Mengyu County were also in the hands of the three great clans. In the past, the Great Cauldron Hall was able to rely on its own fame and its ability to attract the three great clans to buy some urgently needed Spirit Grass from them.
This kind of spirit medicine was originally very rarely grown in the cultivation world. The three great families had even more strict control over it, and Great Cauldron Hall had no way of knowing where to start, so even at this time, Tuqiu Village’s seventy percent middle grade Ling Tian was becoming more and more precious in the eyes of the Great Cauldron Hall.
This year, the strange fruit had ripened once again, and the big shopkeeper of the Great Cauldron Hall, Kong De Liang, had even personally come to the Tuqiu Village to meet with Yang Tiangang, in order to discuss on the purchase of the spirit medicine.
“Yang Cunzheng, I heard that your esteemed village has had a good New Year, with great harvests, it is truly a joyous occasion!” From the sound of it, it was the head manager of the Great Cauldron Hall, Alchemist Kong De Liang.
Yang Tiangang’s voice also came from the hall, and said: “Haha, the year is not bad, not only is the spiritual valley’s harvest good, the growth of the spiritual herbs are also very good, and the strange fruit this year is ten percent more than last year’s. But the situation in the Mengyu County, right now, is afraid that the valley would harm the farmers!”
Kong De Liang laughed: “Yang Cunzheng is overthinking it, although Yuxian has already recovered from the two years of production, the vitality lost by the giant locust from last year’s battle will not be recovered that easily. The price of the spiritual valley will only rise a little, and as for the strange fruit, haha, I will take as many of them as I have available, so the price is definitely noroblem.”
“Manager Kong is generous!” Yang Tiangang praised, and said: “However, can we use pills to replace this year’s strange fruit?”
The conversation in the room became quiet, as though Kong De Liang was considering Yang Tiangang’s suggestion, or perhaps he was discussing it with someone else who came with the Great Cauldron Hall. After a while, Kong De Liang spoke in embarrassment: If we were to exchange the seven middle tier Ling Tian s in your village for spirit pills to settle the bill, then the quantity is a bit large. To hide it from Yang Cunzheng, seven out of ten of ten Great Cauldron Hall s this year will be pre-arranged for going out.
“However,” Kong Deliang’s voice continued: “From what I know, only two out of five middle tier Ling Tian s in your village that cultivate strange fruit are from the Yang Cunzheng family. I can use the medicinal pellets to settle the debt for the two halves of the Ling Tian s, the rest …”
Yang Tiangang laughed: “Haha, that’s great, we can settle the debt with the other thirty percent Ling Tian s, but I do not have only two points for the strange fruit, but three points for the Ling Tian s!”
“Oh?” Hearing that, Kong De Liang was overjoyed: “Could it be that Lord Village Head planted all of his Ling Tian s with strange fruits? I remember last year, I tried my best to persuade Village Head, but Village Head was only willing to plant two parts of the Ling Tian! ”
Yang Tiangang laughed: “Come, come, shopkeeper Kong, come with me to the backyard!”
One of them looked like a shop assistant, while the other one looked like an accountant. When the four walked out, they coincidentally met Yang Junshan who was returning home.
Although Yang Junshan’s aura had been suppressed, it could not be hidden from a third stage martial arts realm cultivator like Shopkeeper Kong. When he saw Yang Junshan appear in the courtyard, the Shopkeeper Kong’s face was still filled with smiles, but he immediately revealed a look of shock.
Yang Junshan took the lead and cupped his hands, “Senior Kong, long time no see!”
Kong De Liang turned to look at Yang Tiangang, and said: “Your son has an extraordinary spirit, truly is enviable!”
Yang Tiangang glanced at the muscular Wu Shuo behind Yang Junshan, laughed “haha”, and leaned to the side: “Please!”
