Chapter 225: Magnanimous Yitian Pavilion
After hearing Duanmu Ya say that the materials needed for refining the elixir were already prepared, he suddenly remembered that he had indeed promised to help Yitian Pavilion produce a batch of beauty‑preserving elixirs.
"I've noted the matter of the beauty‑preserving elixir."
"Have you gathered both of the main ingredients, the Millennium Snow Lotus and the ice silkworm silk?"
These two ingredients are the key to refining the beauty‑preserving elixir; none can be missing, and both age and quality must meet the standards, otherwise the resulting elixir's effect will be greatly reduced.
Li Lao hurried forward a step, holding two rustic wooden boxes in both hands, and respectfully handed them to Jiang Feng.
"Mr. Jiang, rest assured, they're all here! These are what our Yitian Pavilion spent great effort to collect; please have a look."
Jiang Feng reached out, took the wooden box, and gently opened it.
A palm‑sized Snow Lotus lay quietly on top, its petals pure and flawless, emitting a faint, crisp fragrance.
At a glance one can tell it's a sufficiently aged Millennium Snow Lotus, of excellent quality.
Then he opened the second wooden box; inside was a neatly coiled strand of silk, crystal clear throughout, shimmering with a faint luster.
It was exactly the ice silkworm silk needed for refining the beauty‑preserving elixir, and judging by its condition, it was even better than he had expected.
"Not bad, they're top‑quality Millennium Snow Lotus and ice silkworm silk."
Jiang Feng nodded in satisfaction, closed the wooden box, and handed it back to Li Lao.
Duanmu Ya, seeing Jiang Feng still satisfied, immediately added.
"Mr. Jiang, to gather these two main ingredients, our Yitian Pavilion spent a month in total. Here is the detailed list of materials; you may take a look."
Speaking, she took a printed list from her bag and handed it to Jiang Feng with both hands.
Jiang Feng took the list and scanned it quickly.
"The materials are fine; barring any mishap, these can be used to refine 100 beauty‑preserving elixirs."
"One hundred?"
Upon hearing that, Duanmu Ya's eyes instantly lit up, and she hurriedly nodded repeatedly, her tone excited.
"That's enough! Completely enough! Mr. Jiang, we are truly grateful!"
She wasn't clear on the elixir's effect, but she was very aware of Jiang Feng's quality in refining elixirs.
If there are 100, not only can they meet her own needs, but also be used to forge connections with important contacts.
For Yitian Pavilion, this is a guaranteed profit.
She steadied herself and, suppressing her excitement, said.
"Mr. Jiang, aside from these materials, for these 100 beauty‑preserving elixirs, our Yitian Pavilion is willing to pay you a labor fee of ten million per elixir. What do you think?"
Ten million per piece makes a hundred pieces a billion!
This price can be said to be quite generous.
After all, all the materials were provided by Yitian Pavilion.
Jiang Feng only needs to provide technique and effort to earn the billion in labor fees; one must admit, Yitian Pavilion is indeed magnanimous.
Jiang Feng nodded at the words.
He knows the value of the beauty‑preserving elixir; this price isn't low and matches his expectations.
He shrugged indifferently, "Fine, let's do as you say."
"Great!"
Duanmu Ya's smile grew even brighter.
"Then when would it be convenient for you to go refine the medicine?"
"Sure, but I need a suitable place to refine the medicine; the environment must be quiet, with no one to disturb."
"Mr. Jiang, rest assured, we've already prepared these for you!"
"Just follow me, I'll take you there."
Jiang Feng raised no objection, greeted Hua Lao in the house, and then left with Duanmu Ya and Li Lao.
Duanmu Ya personally drove, taking Jiang Feng to the place for refining the medicine.
After about half an hour, the car slowly came to a halt.
Jiang Feng opened his eyes, looked out the window, and found the car had actually stopped at Binjiang Matou.
"We've arrived, Mr. Jiang."
Duanmu Ya turned off the engine, smiled, and said to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng raised an eyebrow, looking around with some surprise.
"Is the refining place on this river?"
Duanmu Ya, hearing that, gave no answer, only smiled.
"You'll know once you come with me."
Jiang Feng followed Duanmu Ya out of the car and walked toward the riverbank.
"Yitian Pavilion, you wouldn't happen to have also purchased land on Riverheart Island, would you?"
Back then, Lin Qinghan lived on Riverheart Island; the environment there was tranquil and the security tight, a rare good place.
He vaguely felt that the refining location prepared by Yitian Pavilion was most likely there.
Duanmu Ya, hearing that, showed a surprised expression and couldn't help looking at Jiang Feng.
"Mr. Jiang, how did you know?"
Duanmu Ya smiled and explained.
"The whole Riverheart Island is actually our Yitian Pavilion's private property. Only our most esteemed guests and core members may enter it."
Jiang Feng finally understood and nodded.
It seems that previously Yitian Pavilion, out of deference to Qingxiao Sect, arranged for Lin Qinghan to temporarily reside here.
While speaking, another Black Awning Boat slowly sailed toward them.
"Mr. Jiang, please board the boat."
"Duanmu Ya stepped onto the Black Awning Boat first, and said to Jiang Feng."
"Jiang Feng followed onto the boat; the Black Awning Boat sailed smoothly toward Jiang Heart Island."
"After about ten minutes of sailing, the Black Awning Boat arrived at the dock of Jiang Heart Island."
"The two got off the boat, and Duanmu Ya led Jiang Feng deeper into the island."
"Unlike Last Time when Lin Qinghan took Jiang Feng, Duanmu Ya did not go toward the Bamboo forest, but took a different Path."
"After walking about five Minute, an exquisite small manor appeared before them."
"The manor was of typical Chinese style, green bricks and black tiles, a cinnabar red gate, and two Stone lions at the entrance, giving it an ancient yet grand look."
"The manor's wall was low, allowing a view of the Inside lush green plants, as well as a small False Mountain and a pond."
"Mr. Jiang, this is the place."
"Duanmu Ya stopped Foot, pointing at the manor before them and introduced it."
"We at Yitian Pavilion have built a total of five such manors on Jiang Heart Island."
"This one was originally built for a Top-level Alchemist we Fengong, and Inside the alchemy furnace, medicine cauldron, temperature control equipment and all other facilities are very complete, all of the best quality, and can fully satisfy your alchemy needs."
"She paused, her face bearing a respectful Laughter."
"From today onward, this manor officially belongs to you, Mr. Jiang. During your alchemy period, there will be dedicated people responsible for your meals and daily life, and absolutely no one will disturb you."
"Given to me?"
"Jiang Feng was a bit surprised; Yitian Pavilion's generosity is truly great."
"That is natural; even after the refining, Here will thereafter belong only to you alone."
"Duanmu Ya said, taking out a small jade seal."
"Here is the credential for entering Here, Mr. Jiang, please keep it."
"Jiang Feng took the jade seal, and Duanmu Ya seemed to let out a breath."
"Since Jiang Feng accepted it, it shows he is still satisfied with Here."
"Then I will not disturb you; for any need, you may command at any time."
"Duanmu Ya finished speaking, then turned and left."
"Jiang Feng directly pushed open the manor gate; in an instant, a surge of abundant Spiritual Energy rushed toward him."
"Each manor has a Spiritual Array set up; this Yitian Pavilion truly is extraordinary."
