Chapter 75: Chapter 520 Let the Entire Immortal Alliance Grow Vegetables for Me (Part 2)
What is it?
Elder Zuo’s impatient voice sounded. He agreed to cooperate with Qi Huang only for profit, but it didn’t mean they had buried the hatchet.
You haven’t forgotten our cooperation, have you? That Lü Yi has already come knocking, saying he’ll marry me on the sixth day of the sixth month next year.
Qi Huang reminded him first.
Don’t worry, there’s still a year to go. Even if I don’t care about you, I have to consider my granddaughter’s future.
Elder Zuo said very directly.
That’s good! Actually, I came to you this time for another matter. About two years ago, our Huangtian City’s Bajiao Village was poisoned by Ghost Tomatoes planted by the HeYi Sect, killing a thousand people…
Qi Huang then recounted the tragedy from two years ago.
How could such a big thing have happened without you informing the Immortal Alliance at the time?
Elder Zuo retorted. He did know about it back then, but the HeYi Sect had given benefits to the Immortal Alliance, so he had turned a blind eye.
With such a major incident, I don’t believe Steward Cai didn’t tell you? Did he not know either?
Qi Huang sarcastically asked.
So what? What exactly do you want to say?
Elder Zuo said without batting an eyelid.
After that tragedy, I started spending a lot of money to acquire Ghost Tomatoes, hoping to eliminate that poison in this way. However, in the past two years, many greedy scoundrels have seen an opportunity to get rich, so they have imitated the HeYi Sect and are secretly planting Ghost Tomatoes in extremely Yin locations in the wilderness. Do you think Elder Zuo understands what kind of threat this poses to the surrounding ordinary people?
Qi Huang then explained the matter in detail.
Something like this happened?
Elder Zuo’s tone suddenly became serious. As the person in charge of the Xihui Dynasty’s cultivation world, if such a thing happened repeatedly, he would also be held accountable.
I hope your Immortal Alliance can manage this. I am acquiring Ghost Tomatoes to do good for the people of the world, not to harm them in the end.
Qi Huang made her request.
Don’t worry, I will immediately issue orders to the Immortal Alliance branch halls in all the prefectures of the Xihui Dynasty. We will resolutely crack down on this behavior that harms the common people.
Elder Zuo made a promise.
Then I thank Elder Zuo on behalf of all the people of the Xihui Dynasty.
Qi Huang thanked him politely and then ended the call.
Elder Zuo, Elder Zuo! I’ve already revealed the opportunity to make money to you. It all depends on whether you can seize it yourself.
Qi Huang raised her rosy lips. She would definitely not feel at ease with ordinary people planting Ghost Tomatoes, but she would be a hundred percent confident if the Immortal Alliance planted them.
…
At the Immortal Alliance branch hall in the Imperial Capital, after Elder Zuo put down the Thousand Li Sound Transmission Device, he immediately called out: “Someone!”
What are Elder Zuo’s orders?
A disciple respectfully opened the door and said.
Pass down this elder’s order. From now on, all prefectural branch halls are to strictly crack down on the cultivation of Ghost Tomatoes in the wilderness. Once anyone is found violating regulations…
Elder Zuo commanded.
“Yes, sir!”
The disciple respectfully received the order, then turned and walked out the door.
Elder Zuo’s eyeballs moved, and he suddenly said, “Wait! Order all prefectural branch halls to confiscate all illegally cultivated Ghost Tomatoes and send them to me for unified processing.”
“Yes!”
The disciple bowed and accepted the order again.
“Qi Huang, oh Qi Huang! You have taken so much advantage from this elder. This time, it’s my turn to get it back with interest.”
Elder Zuo smiled triumphantly.
That’s right, he had realized the profit and prospects of growing Ghost Tomatoes and wanted to monopolize them.
“Someone! Pass down my order, immediately clear out two warehouses, and tidy up those barren lands in the west for me.”
Elder Zuo then commanded outside again.
Qi Huang returned to Juyin Auction House contentedly. If her prediction was correct, it wouldn’t be long before she received Ghost Tomatoes planted by Elder Zuo, followed by those from other members of the Immortal Alliance. Because she didn’t believe that old guy could really keep it all to himself and maintain 100% secrecy.
“Why did Young Master leave in such a hurry just now?”
Liu Yingyue asked doubtfully.
“It’s nothing, I just suddenly remembered something I needed to do.”
Qi Huang casually perfunctory replied, then said, “I will handle the matter of those people privately planting Ghost Tomatoes, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Then I’ll be relieved.”
Liu Yingyue breathed a sigh of relief, then asked again, “What was the other matter that Young Master mentioned?”
“First, this Fairy wants you to help me inquire about the Anemia Ointment.”
Qi Huang made her first request.
“This… this Fairy?”
Liu Yingyue’s delicate body shivered, and a strange expression appeared on her face.
“No, no, no, it’s this Young Master! This Young Master wants you to inquire about the origin of the Anemia Ointment.”
Qi Huang, sweating profusely, quickly corrected herself. She had only stopped the feminization, not solved the fundamental problem, so she would still subconsciously consider herself a “Fairy.”
“Okay, I will do my best! Although Anemia Ointment is rare, our Liu Family’s auctions are all over the Xiba Dynasty, so we should have news in a few days.”
Liu Yingyue readily agreed.
“Then thank you, Manager Liu!”
Qi Huang cupped her fists in thanks, then added, “Besides that, I also want you to appraise a few items.”
“Please bring them out, Young Master. However, my knowledge is shallow, so I may not be able to identify all of them.”
Liu Yingyue said humbly.
Qi Huang then took out all the things she had robbed from Ye Donglai, except for the Mantian Water.
Liu Yingyue was dazzled for a moment, then a shocked expression appeared on her pretty face: “Where did Young Master get these treasures?”
Secret!
Qi Huang perfunctorily replied with an embarrassed expression, then quickly changed the subject: “How is it? Are they valuable?”
They’re more than valuable, they’re priceless and in high demand. Any one of them could be exchanged for several large mansions with three courtyards in the Imperial Capital.
Liu Yingyue exclaimed, picking up a Lingzhi with flame patterns: “This is Earthfire Lingzhi. In the Western Continent of our cultivation world, it only appears within the ashes of volcanoes in the northern part of Xitong Country, and its growth rate is very slow. Even though this one is only the size of a fist, it’s estimated to be over a thousand years old.”
What is its use?
Qi Huang curiously asked.
This Earthfire Lingzhi contains extremely dense fire spiritual energy, so dense that only cultivators with powerful divine abilities can withstand it. However, because it is too rare, they only use it for breaking through cultivation realms.
Liu Yingyue explained in detail.
Then what is its value?
Qi Huang eagerly inquired. Because it was a fire-attribute artifact, she and those around her had no use for it, so she could gladly cash it in.
It’s worth at least a million taels of silver, and even more if auctioned.
Liu Yingyue pondered for a moment and then said.
What? One million taels?
Qi Huang’s features contorted with excitement. A million taels of silver was an unimaginable concept; it was equivalent to Yongning Prefecture’s tax revenue for a year, enough to acquire several thousand Ghost Tomatoes.
Haha, I just found people to grow vegetables for me, and now I have the initial capital. It’s simply…
Qi Huang was overjoyed inwardly.
This is not the scales of a Dragon Head Carp. The Dragon Head Carp is a monster with the body of a fish and the head of a dragon. It only lives in the magma of active volcanoes and is also extremely rare. Its effect is the same as Earthfire Lingzhi, and its price is also similar.
Liu Yingyue then picked up a palm-sized fiery red scale and introduced it.
Qi Huang came back to her senses and quickly settled down to listen attentively. However, as time passed, the corners of her mouth began to rise again, because these ten treasures were all priceless, with each one averaging a million taels of silver, for a total value exceeding ten million taels.
Ten million taels! This could buy tens of thousands of Ghost Tomatoes, and tens of thousands of Ghost Tomatoes could at least advance my spiritual sense by a small tier. Moreover, with so many seeds, my planting scale can also be expanded several times.
Qi Huang happily calculated.
In that case, this Young Immortal… Young Master will leave these treasures at the auction house for auction, and I’ll trouble Manager Liu to take care of it!
Qi Huang said impatiently.
Uh…
Liu Yingyue hesitated unexpectedly this time.
Is there a problem?
Qi Huang asked with a frown.
Young Master, please forgive my presumptuousness in asking again, but where exactly did you get these treasures?
Liu Yingyue asked weakly again.
