Chapter 371

Song Yun hurriedly inquired.

"Junior Brother, what pills do you need this time, and how many?"

Ye Fan thought for a moment and said:

"At the very least, I need five thousand Aperture-Opening Pills; for the other pills I've bought before, I'd also like another hundred each. Senior Brother Song, can your family supply this amount?"

Ye Fan thought, he couldn't just give only what Shenxian Jiejie wanted; he had to give as much as possible.

Shenxian Jiejie always only wants these low-grade pills; it must be related to the plane she currently resides in.

In a plane where spiritual energy is thin, the demand for low-grade pills is indeed the greatest.

And this time, Shenxian Jiejie outright demanded five thousand Aperture-Opening Pills; surely something has changed in her plane, so we should also give as many other pills as possible.

Song Yun didn't expect Ye Fan to need this much this time; although he was curious, he didn't ask for details.

He thought for a moment and said:

"If it's just a hundred of the other pills, that's easy to say, but needing five thousand Aperture-Opening Pills all at once is another matter; frankly, being common pills, our family rarely refines them."

"Most alchemists in the clan have fixed monthly alchemy tasks to complete; on top of that, making Aperture-Opening Pills would take about a month to produce five thousand."

Song Yun also wasn't lying, and he certainly didn't dare to exaggerate.

"Moreover, Aperture-Opening Pills are indeed rarely refined, being common pills; aside from a small stockpile, only novice alchemy apprentices would use them for practice."

"But the clan values its dealings with Ye Fan greatly, so it would naturally not use pills made by novices for the exchange."

"Producing five thousand pills on short notice naturally requires considerable effort."

Ye Fan frowned upon hearing this, "A month is too slow; I'm afraid I can't wait. Senior Brother Song, can you think of another solution? Ideally, we'd have them ready within three days."

Song Yun was startled upon hearing this; needing to have five thousand Aperture-Opening Pills ready in three days—could it be that some mortal nation is about to go to war?

Song Yun opened his mouth, wanting to remind Ye Fan that cultivators shouldn't excessively interfere in mortal nations' affairs, but after thinking he still didn't speak.

After a moment's contemplation, he said:

"If we need them within three days, then the only option now is for our Song family to step forward and purchase Aperture-Opening Pills from other alchemy clans or independent alchemists; of course, our Song family will strictly control the quality. Does that work for you?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan stood up and bowed his fists to Song Yun.

"Senior Brother, please wait a moment; I'll be right back."

Ye Fan immediately contacted Lin Meng, explained the situation, and Lin Meng waved her hand and said:

"No problem, we'll do as Song Yun said, but we must keep the Aperture-Opening Pills purchased from elsewhere separate from those refined by the Song family."

"The Song family's Aperture-Opening Pills will definitely be mixed with cola; she can keep them on hand."

"The Aperture-Opening Pills purchased from elsewhere will be handed over to the state to enhance soldiers' strength."

Ye Fan quickly returned, informed Song Yun of the result, and Song Yun was naturally delighted.

"Thank you for understanding, Junior Brother; rest assured, even if purchased, our Song family will ensure every pill's quality, never passing off substandard goods."

Ye Fan still felt reassured about Song Yun and the Song family; in their cooperation so far, the Song family has never given defective products, always with full sincerity.

"Then it's settled; delivery in three days. Senior Brother, what do you want to exchange this time, or can we still use cola?"

Ye Fan finally brought up cola, which excited Song Yun greatly.

Song Yun immediately smiled and agreed, afraid that if he nodded too late the cola would fly away.

"Fine! Let's use cola as the exchange!"

Song Yun estimated the value and still felt that the amount of two thousand milliliters was somewhat hard to bring up.

"Five thousand Aperture-Opening Pills sounds scary, but they're just common pills; in the cultivation world they amount to nothing."

"Even if we add a hundred of other pills, but Jade Marrow Pills and the like are also common pills, still worthless."

"No amount of common pills can match a bottle of cola, and this time the family actually wants two thousand milliliters—how can he bring himself to say that?"

Seeing Song Yun seemed to have more to say, Ye Fan quickly swallowed the words on his lips and waited for him to speak first.

Song Yun, feeling embarrassed, struggled for words and finally gritted his teeth to say to Ye Fan:

"Junior Brother, Senior Brother has a humble request; could you give a little more cola this time? The alchemists in our clan all want cola, and we really can't distribute enough."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat—not that he was truly stingy, but how could common pills compare to the spiritual water given by Shenxian Jiejie?

"Senior Brother Song wants more this time; I don't know how much more."

Ye Fan showed no emotion, only politely inquiring:

"Senior Brother, please speak freely; I don't know how much you want."

Song Yun dared not meet Ye Fan's eyes, gritted his teeth and held up two fingers in a "yeah" gesture.

"Two, two thousand milliliters, Junior Brother Ye—is that too much? Do you agree?"

Ye Fan didn't answer immediately, just silently watching Song Yun's two fingers.

After a while, he couldn't help but sigh in relief, and at the same time his heart cheered.

"Great, the Song family only needs two thousand milliliters!"

Ye Fan still thought the Song family had a big appetite this time, wanting a lot of cola, eh, but he didn't expect they only needed two thousand milliliters.

You know, the immortal sister this time really gave a whole box of cola, a total of twelve bottles, each bottle five hundred milliliters.

According to the immortal sister's intention, these twelve bottles of cola are all for the Song family.

But unexpectedly, the Song family actually only needs two thousand milliliters.

However, Ye Fan can understand; even he doesn't dare to gulp cola, sister each time says there's no need to be sparing, but Ye Fan doesn't dare.

Cola is too precious; such spiritual water, even big families with deep foundations dare not casually take it to drink; Ye Fan cannot, just because the immortal sister is good to him, fail to cherish it.

Right now, the Song family only needs two thousand milliliters, so Ye Fan does not intend to take out this whole box of cola, lest the Song family think he still has a lot of cola.

Song Yun, not getting a reply for a long time, thought two thousand milliliters was too much, and that Ye Fan was embarrassed.

But just as he was about to speak, preparing to reduce some himself, Ye Fan spoke.

"Senior Brother Song, I urgently need this batch of pills; I trust the Song family to handle things; I agree to these two thousand milliliters of cola."

Song Yun never expected Ye Fan to actually agree, and he instantly let out a big sigh of relief.

The next second, Ye Fan took out four bottles of unpackaged Coke from his space, and then took out another one.

"Senior Brother Song, this extra bottle is my gift to you; you don't have to turn it over to the clan, you can keep it for yourself—but I have a condition."

Song Yun was about to reach out to take it when he suddenly heard he could take an extra bottle, and he froze in place, unable to come to his senses for a long time.

Only when the incredibly precious Coke was truly in his hand did Song Yun snap back to reality, so excited he wanted to kneel to Ye Fan right then.

His junior brother is really great, so kind-hearted!

Such top-grade spiritual water, giving away a whole bottle at once—even if it meant making him sign a death contract on the spot, he would be willing!
