Chapter 298: The Eldest Princess's Gift of Thanks, Jing Yuheng's Gratitude

On the mountain, Chen Chuyang looked down the mountain and revealed a smile.

The god of wealth has come—how could he not personally welcome her.

Jing Yuheng was his god of wealth; every time she came, she brought many good things. With such a treasure arriving, he naturally had to welcome her properly. Chen Chuyang stood outside himself, waiting for her to come up the mountain.

No one else received this kind of treatment—only Jing Yuheng had such privilege.

Jing Yuheng sensed the watching gaze, her entire body radiating chill. She raised her head and met Chen Chuyang's eyes head-on.

In that instant, their eyes locked. Jing Yuheng had the urge to turn and leave—to leave this place immediately, not wanting to linger here any longer, nor wanting to… meet that person.

Chen Chuyang raised his right hand, smiling, and waved it back and forth.

Jing Yuheng's desire to leave grew even stronger, even more urgent.

The opening behind her had vanished. The Formation had returned to its original state—she could not leave even if she wanted to.

On Longshe Shan, Liu Yuer and her daughter noticed Jing Yuheng's arrival, but they were busy with their own affairs. Zhang Nongqian in particular was focused on planting Dragon Tooth Rice and Dragon Blood Rice, with no mind to think of other things. This was a task and also part of her cultivation. Chen Chuyang had her familiarize herself with Dragon Tooth Rice and Dragon Blood Rice, and only after thoroughly mastering the cultivation of these two grains would she learn other things.

The study of spirit herb cultivation had already begun—first reading the theory, then practicing. She would be able to get the hang of it soon.

Only by understanding the properties of spirit herbs could one refine good pills. Becoming a Pill Refining master was no easy matter.

Chen Chuyang had specifically instructed and reminded her not to… underestimate the planting of Dragon Tooth Rice. In truth, it was because Zhang Nongqian's body was too weak and her cultivation too poor—she needed to build a solid foundation before she could learn other things.

Secondly, there was also another reason. Chen Chuyang had no intention of teaching Pill Refining knowledge to Zhang Nongqian too early. She was still young and lacked self-control; teaching her prematurely would do her no good.

Chen Chuyang would never do something like pulling up seedlings to help them grow.

Her retreat cut off, Jing Yuheng had no choice but to go up the mountain. Coming before Chen Chuyang, she had no desire to exchange pleasantries and got straight to the point.

"Where is the Xuan She Leader?"

Her purpose this time was the Xuan She Leader. When Chen Chuyang sent the message, she had not believed it. One had to know that the Xuan She Leader excelled at stealth and at escaping—no one could discover his true form, and even if they did, they could not catch him.

Later, after conducting an investigation, she discovered that the Xuan She Leader had vanished.

She knew that what Chen Chuyang said was true, not false.

So she hurried over.

To see the Xuan She Leader in person and to confirm this matter.

The Xuan She Leader himself was not important—what mattered was his cultivation technique. He represented many things.

"Right here."

Chen Chuyang opened his palm. The Xuan She Leader was in the center of his hand—his tiny body no larger than a finger.

His body was too small, writhing, as if sensing Jing Yuheng's arrival. The Xuan She Leader opened his eyes, and upon seeing it was Jing Yuheng, he sprang up in an instant, his arched neck straightening as he stared at Jing Yuheng.

"Jing Yuheng, save me. I don't want to die."

"Jing Yuheng, as long as you get me out, I promise that once I return, I'll yield the position of Leader to you."

"Whatever you want, I can give you. Jing Yuheng, I just want to live."

The Xuan She Leader did not want to die. The will to live drove him to struggle ceaselessly.

Frantic cries—when a person sees hope in a desperate situation, he naturally would not be willing to die.

Jing Yuheng looked down. "Xuan She Leader, rest assured. This subordinate has come this time precisely to get you out."

The Xuan She Leader did not believe these words and struggled even more frantically.

He tried to break free from Chen Chuyang's palm.

Chen Chuyang squeezed his hand slightly, and the Xuan She Leader stopped moving and ceased his thrashing.

He lay obediently in the palm, not daring to make the slightest movement.

"Jing Yuheng, you want to let him go?"

Jing Yuheng nodded. "Chen Chuyang, how much? Name your price."

Chen Chuyang smiled. Chatting with a smart person was so refreshing. A crippled Xuan She posed no threat to him.

The damage he had inflicted could not be undone.

Chen Chuyang would never release a tiger back to the mountain. His control over the Xuan She Leader had long since penetrated to the marrow—a single thought, and he would be killed.

If he could exchange that for a sum of money, that would not be bad at all.

"The price is not low. He is your superior, and also a Leader of your Black Dragon Guard, so the price naturally…"

Chen Chuyang paused, narrowing his eyes as he stared at Jing Yuheng.

Jing Yuheng fell silent for a moment, then took out a storage pouch and handed it to Chen Chuyang.

"Take a look."

Chen Chuyang opened the storage pouch and glanced inside—oh my, quite a lot of things, and these items were truly precious.

With a single glance, Chen Chuyang saw everything clearly.

He was very satisfied.

"Not bad. It seems your sincerity is ample."

"Doing business with you is wonderful—no need for me to rack my brains, and no haggling required."

The Xuan She Leader was handed to Jing Yuheng, and Chen Chuyang obtained what he wanted.

Being able to exchange for some resources was naturally for the best. Jing Yuheng was decisive and straightforward.

In this regard, Chen Chuyang naturally would not make things difficult for her.

Those resources were enough for him to use for a while.

Jing Yuheng grasped the Xuan She Leader's body and did not let him go. Instead, she struck several seal incantations on him, sealing everything about him. Those seal incantations were not simple—they were ones Chen Chuyang had never seen, but their specific effects were clear to him.

After a few glances, Chen Chuyang grasped the general idea and could understand the principles behind them.

Only after sealing him again did Jing Yuheng produce a jade bottle and store the Xuan She Leader away.

The Xuan She Leader had left the tiger's den, only to enter the dragon's pool.

One could call it truly miserable.

This is a gift from the Eldest Princess.

Jing Yuheng took out another storage bag and handed it to Chen Chuyang.

Chen Chuyang smiled more broadly, took the storage bag, and opened it again.

This thank-you gift is quite a lot.

Just one look, and Chen Chuyang was startled.

The Eldest Princess is being polite.

Chen Chuyang put it away, afraid someone would snatch it.

Jing Yuheng was utterly speechless about this.

Please convey my regards to the Eldest Princess.

Jing Yuheng nodded and said: "The Eldest Princess wants to buy Hundred Herbs Pills and Dragon Blood Pills from you. She needs a lot of Dragon Blood Pills; as long as you have them, you can name your price, and she will meet any request."

It's quite obvious they have learned some news.

The Chen Clan's second son, Chen Chen, advanced to Pellet Condensation, so the Chen Clan now has two Pellet Condensations.

This shows that Chen Chuyang's Dragon Blood Pills have a high Pellet Condensation success rate; with two chances of success, the Eldest Princess is naturally tempted.

Chen Chuyang had mentioned it before; the Eldest Princess kept it in mind. Upon hearing that Chen Chen was on his way, she immediately had a gift prepared and then set out to buy medicinal pills.

Dragon Blood Pills are the focus; Hundred Herbs Pills are just an aside.

The focus is Dragon Blood Pills; she wants to bolster her own power, raise her status and authority, so she naturally needs medicinal pills—Dragon Blood Pills, which can win people's hearts.
