82: Chapter 82 How many do you want to buy?

Seeing him in person now, although his complexion still couldn't be called rosy...

Compared to his previous sickly appearance, he indeed looked much better.

However, even as she offered her gentle congratulations,

at the deepest depths of those clear eyes, an imperceptible trace of faint doubt flashed by.

Because, relying on an innate and exceptionally keen perception of spirit,

she clearly sensed that Qin Yan's current mental state was unstable!

Though he looked much better on the surface,

deep within his spiritual origin, there seemed to remain some trace of instability.

This perception was extremely subtle; for an ordinary person,

even a middle-grade or high-grade martial artist would find it extremely difficult to discover without a deliberate investigation.

But she was different.

Ever since she started practicing martial arts,

she had discovered that she possessed an unusually sharp perception of others' spiritual states.

After entering university and coming into contact with the classification of the 'Genius Spirit Theory,'

she once suspected whether she was one of those one-in-a-million 'Natural Extraordinary Seeds' with spirit between 9 to 100 Hertz.

After all, her martial arts talent was indeed extremely outstanding.

Her Martial Arts Skill had reached the Third Stage early on.

After entering university and obtaining a Body Tempering Martial Art, she even reached the 'Major Achievement' realm in a mere month and a half!

If not for this, it would have been impossible for her, under such a scarcity of resources,

to still easily hold a seat among the top three of her year at Modu Jiaotong University.

However, she also learned that those recorded 'Natural Extraordinary Seeds'

often possessed extremely obvious external characteristics.

For example, double pupils, Glazed Bones, Innate Golden Blood, and so on; the features were very distinct.

As for her, aside from this keen perception of spirit,

there was nothing else about her body that differed from ordinary people, so she truly didn't live up to the title of 'Natural Extraordinary.'

Nevertheless, even if she wasn't that kind of legendary existence,

Wen Ning was certain that her talent definitely belonged to the topmost ranks.

Especially regarding spirit, she had an intuition that surpassed ordinary people.

"Could it be that Qin Yan's previous pale complexion and listlessness

were because he took a large amount of nourishing spirit pills, resulting in spiritual damage?"

She recalled the last time at Hundred Herbs Hall when Qin Yan purchased high-grade spirit nurturing pills.

Combined with the unstable spiritual fluctuations she sensed now, this guess couldn't help but surface in her heart.

After all, the side effects of overdosing on nourishing spirit pills

matched quite well with Qin Yan's previous performance and her current perception.

"Haha, thanks for your concern. I do feel quite a bit better."

Qin Yan smiled, not wanting to dwell too much on the topic of his physical condition.

Thus, he naturally shifted the topic. "Wen Ning, have you already finished buying your pills?"

Hearing this, Wen Ning also took the opportunity to set aside her conjectures.

A gentle smile returned to her face as she shook her head lightly. "Not yet. I was just about to go in and buy some when I saw you first."

Standing at the street corner outside Hundred Herbs Hall, the two exchanged a few more casual words.

Through their conversation, Qin Yan learned that Wen Ning's main purpose for coming was to buy the body tempering pills required for her cultivation.

However, this didn't have much to do with him.

All his goals for this trip had been successfully achieved, so he bid Wen Ning farewell,

preparing to return to school to seize the time to cultivate.

"Qin Yan, wait..."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Wen Ning hurriedly called out to him, her tone carrying a hint of urgency.

Qin Yan stopped, turned to look at her, and gave her an inquiring gaze.

Wen Ning took a deep breath as if summoning her courage, her fair cheeks flushing slightly.

She spoke softly, "Qin Yan, I... can I ask you for a favor?"

"What favor? Go ahead," Qin Yan said calmly.

"It's... can you use your privileges at Hundred Herbs Hall to help me buy a few body tempering pills from their internal stock?"

After Wen Ning finished, she quickly added in an earnest tone,

"Of course, I won't let you help for nothing. I'm willing to pay you one hundred thousand huaxia coins as a reward."

After speaking, her beautiful eyes, filled with anxiety and expectation, stared closely at Qin Yan's reaction.

She was actually unsure in her heart, not knowing if Qin Yan would agree to her request.

Hearing this, Qin Yan was slightly taken aback, then nodded almost without thinking. "Alright, I agree."

He naturally wouldn't refuse such a good thing—earning one hundred thousand huaxia coins so easily.

Moreover, he had learned that in the circle of martial artists,

this behavior of using one's own authority or channels to help others buy resources for a certain fee was quite common.

It was considered a sort of unspoken rule.

Therefore, a large chamber of commerce like Hundred Herbs Hall had naturally taken precautions long ago.

They had limits on the discount quotas for high-level guest cards like the Diamond Card.

Usually, for a First Grade Martial Artist holding a Diamond Card,

the monthly spending limit to enjoy a 30% discount was five million huaxia coins.

Once this quota was exceeded, subsequent purchases would no longer enjoy the discount.

As a martial artist's rank increased, this discount quota would increase accordingly.

This measure was primarily to prevent people from using high-level guest status to hoard goods in large quantities and resell them, disrupting market prices.

Of course, Hundred Herbs Hall didn't completely block this path.

The monthly quota provided was usually more than enough for personal use or even small-scale mutual aid.

And the people he knew at school didn't need a proxy buyer at all!

Every single one of them was wealthier than the last!

Qin Yan was the poorest of them all!

Now that someone wanted to give him an easy gain, he naturally agreed.

Upon hearing this, a surprised smile instantly bloomed on Wen Ning's face.

She hadn't expected Qin Yan to agree so readily!

She was very aware of the Diamond Card's discount quota limits.

Qin Yan's willingness to use his precious quota for her caused her impression of him to rise quite a bit again.

"This Qin Yan is much more practical and generous than that fellow Zhao Hao..."

Wen Ning thought to herself.

"Then shall we go in and buy them?"

Wen Ning said happily, preparing to return to Hundred Herbs Hall with Qin Yan.

However, Qin Yan shook his head.

Wen Ning's expression changed slightly, and her heart sank, thinking Qin Yan had changed his mind at the last moment.

Just as she was feeling a bit dejected, she saw Qin Yan unhurriedly take out two small jade bottles from his robe.

With Wen Ning's eyesight, she recognized at a glance that they were first-grade qi and blood pills and body tempering pills!

Moreover, looking at the color and roundness of the pills, they were impressively of high-grade quality!

Wen Ning's eyes instantly widened!

She was envious to the core.

These two bottles of pills, if calculated at market price, were worth a million huaxia coins!

To her, who was short on resources, this was undoubtedly a massive fortune.

Just as Wen Ning's thoughts were racing, Qin Yan spoke. "You don't need to go in and buy them.

How many do you need? Just give me the money, and I'll give the pills to you."

"Eh... ah?"

Wen Ning didn't react for a moment, staring blankly for a few seconds before stammering, "I... I'll buy eight body tempering pills."
