In the afternoon …
Tan Xiu left the Paradise Manor with Chen Zhizhong and Gu Xiaoxue. Ouyang Lulu was busy, so she didn't urge them to stay. She just told Tan Xiu to come over when he had time.
After returning to the Bluestar Villa Complex, Tan Xiu saw that Chi Nan had brought the two nannies. Since Gu Xiaoxue had come, he wanted her to take Tang Xiaojin's group of five away. Therefore, the responsibility of looking after the children was no longer given to the two nannies. But he still asked them to stay and clean the place and cook.
"Both of you, come with me to the study room."
As Chi Nan left, Tan Xiu looked at the two and said.
Inside the study room.
Tan Xiu's group of three had just sat down when one of the nannies, who was more perceptive and was familiar with the environment here, served hot tea.
"Aunt Liu, you can clean the rest of the villa starting today, but not this study room. You two are not allowed to step into this study room without my order. "
Upon hearing it, the nearly 50-year-old Liu Fen quickly nodded and said, "Alright, I'll inform Big Sis Zhang."
After she left the study room and closed the door from the outside, Tan Xiu looked at Chen Zhizhong and said, "Zhizhong, take a look at this list. Help me find as many medicinal herbs as you can. They don't need to be old, as long as they are alive and can be planted. Also, if you can get the seeds of these herbs, you can also buy them. "
Chen Zhizhong took the list and found hundreds of names of medicinal herbs written on it. He immediately asked, "Master, I've never heard of some of these medicinal herbs. They should be rare herbs. But most of them are easy to find. May I know the quantity you need … "
"I'm going to plant 100 acres of medicinal herbs first," said Tan Xiu seriously. "So the quantity I need is huge. Buy as much as you can. In short, the more the better. "
Plant medicinal herbs?
100 acres of land?
Chen Zhizhong was startled and quickly said, "I understand, Master. I'll immediately start arranging it after we return to Star City. "
"You don't need to worry about those seedlings," said Tan Xiu. Send someone to buy a large number of medicinal herbs and seeds first. When I'm ready, I'll look for and buy seedlings. "
Chen Zhizhong nodded and carefully put away the paper with the names of medicinal herbs written on it. Then, he said, "I've encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation, Master. No matter how hard I try, my cultivation progress is very slow. Recently, I've gotten a lot of precious medicinal herbs to supplement my body, but I've discovered that it's very difficult to absorb the medicinal effects. "
Tan Xiu looked at him strangely and asked, "You use precious medicinal herbs to nourish yourself?"
Chen Zhizhong said matter-of-factly, "That's right! After all, I run a medicinal herb business. If I find good quality medicinal herbs, such as hundred-year-old ginseng, lingzhi, cordyceps, and other good things, I will keep a portion of them. Perhaps because he had taken too much of it recently, he felt that the medicinal effects were stored in his body, but it was difficult for him to absorb them. You might even have night sweats and nosebleeds if you take too much medicinal cuisine. "
Tan Xiu was speechless. He glanced at Gu Xiaoxue, who also had a strange expression on her face. He shook his head and forced a smile, "It seems that you've really wasted too many medicinal herbs. How about this? Send all the medicinal herbs you get to Jingmen Island's Everlasting Feast Hall's HQ in exchange for a certain amount of medicinal pills. Taking medicinal herbs directly, even if it's just medicinal cuisine, will not bring great benefits to the cultivator once the medicinal efficacy has been absorbed to a certain extent. But it's different to refine medicinal pills since it's easier to absorb and refine them. "
Medicinal pills?
Chen Zhizhong had heard about medicinal pills, but how could he know that the Everlasting Feast Hall's HQ in Jingmen Island had someone who could refine medicinal pills? Upon hearing Tan Xiu's words, he secretly regretted it. However, he was rich and overbearing, so he quickly calmed down and said, "Master, I was just about to mention it to you. Can you see if I can go to Jingmen Island's Everlasting Feast Hall when I have nothing to do?"
A smile outlined on the corner of Tan Xiu's mouth. With a teasing look in his eyes, he nodded and smilingly said, "Since you're the one who proposed it, then go! After you've collected enough medicinal herbs and seeds for me to plant, arrange the company's affairs, and then go there for a few months for special training! I'm sure it will be of great help to you. "
With a happy expression, Chen Zhizhong respectfully replied, "Understood. I'll prepare it as soon as possible."
Tan Xiu looked at Gu Xiaoxue and asked, "Do you have any medicinal pills with you?"
"I brought some."
Two jade bottles appeared in Gu Xiaoxue's hands out of thin air. She then said, "These are Essence Strengthening Pills. There are a total of 20 pills in these two bottles. Taking one can increase your cultivation by three years."
"Give them to him!" Tan Xiu said. "Also, give him a list of medicinal herbs according to the exchange rate of the Everlasting Feast Hall's core members. Tell him to send the required medicinal herbs. Zhizhong, if you want to get medicinal pills later, you can go to the Everlasting Feast Hall's HQ in Jingmen Island to exchange them. However, the HQ in Jingmen Island doesn't have a lot of medicinal pills, so don't rely on your wealth to exchange for them wantonly. "
Chen Zhizhong looked happy. After receiving the two jade bottles, he excitedly said, "Absolutely not, Master. I'll only exchange for the medicinal pills I need. "
"Later, if the Everlasting Feast Hall's core members want to buy medicinal herbs from you, give them a slightly cheaper price," Tan Xiu said with a smile. "We'll be on the same side in the future, and I'm afraid they'll need your help a lot of times."
"I'll keep it in mind, Master." Chen Zhizhong quickly nodded.
"I have a lot of rooms here," Tan Xiu said with a smile. "You can choose any one and go back to Star City with me tomorrow. Xiaoxue, set off now if you want to go back to Jingmen Island today! I'll leave Tang Xiaojin and the other four to you. Be sure to train them well. "
"Understood!"
Gu Xiaoxue replied and got up to leave the study room.
As the two of them left, Tan Xiu went to the innermost corner of the study room. His fingers constantly flicked as he shot out his star force to form array runes. Immediately after, the fierce beast he had subdued instantly sprang out from the inside, and a thought was transmitted into Tang Xiu's mind. It was the feeling of hunger.
Tan Xiu took out some meat from his interspatial ring and threw it to it, saying, "Your appetite has grown recently. It seems that it'll be very troublesome to only feed you meat in the future. I'll refine some beast pills for you after we go back to Star City! It's convenient to carry and will be very beneficial to you. When I become stronger, I'll teach you a set of immortal beast cultivation technique, so you can grow faster at that time. "
Shortly after …
He received the gratitude from the fierce beast.
Tan Xiu smiled and stuffed it back to the corner. He then used the array to create a wide illusion for it so that it wouldn't be bored even if it stayed in the corner. Afterward, Tan Xiu left the study room and went downstairs to the living room. Tang Xiaojin's group of five had begun to pack up their things and were ready to leave with Gu Xiaoxue. Tan Xiu found that they were not in a good mood, so he immediately said with a smile, "Don't worry! When you go to Jingmen Island, there will be people who will provide you with clothing, food, housing, and transportation. They will also arrange the best teachers and instructors for you to learn a lot of things. When I have time later, I'll go to Jingmen Island to see you. "
"Alright!"
The five children nodded.
As Gu Xiaoxue took them away, Tan Xiu then looked at Chen Zhizhong, who had already picked a room and was sitting in the living room with a bit of boredom, and said, "Let's go! I'll teach you a set of body forging technique. As long as you diligently practice it, you'll be able to quickly strengthen your physique in the future. Also, the True Qi in your body has been completely transformed into True Essence, so it's time to teach you some simple spells. "
Chen Zhizhong was overjoyed upon hearing it and immediately followed Tan Xiu to the courtyard.
Teach!
It was very simple!
Tan Xiu taught seriously, and Chen Zhizhong also studied seriously. By nightfall, Chen Zhizhong had already completely mastered the Body Forging Technique. He had even mastered several spells. However, it was still very difficult for him to use them due to his limited strength. However, according to Tan Xiu, as long as he made a breakthrough, he would be able to use several spells.
"Zhizhong, remember my words. You must never use spells in front of outsiders, and you must not easily expose your full cultivation. The existence of people like us will pose a threat to many people. Once exposed, I'm afraid you won't be able to live a peaceful life in the future. "Tan Xiu solemnly exhorted.
Chen Zhizhong understood Tan Xiu's meaning, so he solemnly said, "I understand, Master. You can rest assured!"
"Buzz …"
As his voice faded away, the electric gate of the villa's courtyard slowly opened. Mu Wanying came in from the outside with a bag and several books in her hands. Upon seeing Chen Zhizhong, who was sweating profusely with his back bare, she looked slightly surprised. She then looked at Tan Xiu and asked, "Who is this?"
"He's my apprentice, Chen Zhizhong," said Tan Xiu. "This is Mu Wanying, an alumnus of my Demon City University."
"I know her, Master," said Chen Zhizhong with a smile. "She's the first beauty in the capital, Mu Wanying, the little princess of the Mu Family."
"You're Tan Xiu's apprentice?" Mu Wanying was surprised. "You … what did you learn from him?"
"Martial arts," said Chen Zhizhong.
Mu Wanying looked at Tan Xiu with a strange expression and praised, "Tan Xiu knows too many things. I'm really envious that you can learn from him. But how do you know that I'm from the Mu Family? "
"I've seen your grandpa before. He was in poor health a few years ago, so I personally sent some precious medicinal herbs to the Mu Family in the capital." Chen Zhizhong said with a smile.
"I remember now. You're the Endless Virtue Pharmaceutical's Boss, Uncle Chen?" Mu Wanying was surprised.
"No, no, no. Just call me Chen Zhizhong." Chen Zhizhong quickly waved his hand. "You're my Master's friend, so I can't afford to call you Uncle."
Mu Wanying looked at Tan Xiu with a strange expression before shifting her eyes to Chen Zhizhong. She was secretly amazed inside. It must be noted that Chen Zhizhong's Endless Virtue Pharmaceutical was one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the country. Its main business was Chinese medicinal herbs, and its business was spread all over the country. A big shot like him, who had status and wealth, unexpectedly worshiped Tan Xiu as his Master. This was simply … simply inconceivable.
