127: Master's Iron Order

When Ning Hefeng saw Lu Hao, he quickly jogged over to him and said with a smile:

“Senior, for you to grace our pavilion today truly brings splendor to my Tianbao Medicine Pavilion! I am the pavilion master, Ning Hefeng. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Senior.”

Lu Hao replied, “Pavilion Master Ning, it’s a pleasure. Have the prices for my medicinal Materials been calculated yet?”

Upon hearing Lu Hao’s words, Shi Yi quickly interjected, “They’ve been calculated, they’ve been calculated! The total is five hundred sixty-seven billion Spirit Stones!”

Ning Hefeng, who was standing nearby, saw that Shi Yi dared to steal his thunder and his expression darkened.

A mere employee, when I’m here, when is it your turn to speak?

He was greatly annoyed, and then he made up his mind.

After Lu Hao left, let alone her share, whether Shi Yi could even keep her life would be a question.

Lu Hao heard the figure Shi Yi reported and calmly took out six Top-Grade Spirit Stones, handing them to Shi Yi.

“Then please prepare the medicinal Materials for me as soon as possible. Also, put the remaining Spirit Stones with the medicinal Materials.”

Shi Yi tremblingly accepted Lu Hao’s Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

Ning Hefeng, who was nearby, immediately said respectfully, “Yes, Senior. Please wait a moment, I will go prepare them right away.”

......

The process of preparing the medicinal Materials was a bit slow; it took a full two and a half hours for Tianbao Medicine Pavilion to package the Materials and put them into a Storage Pouch, which they then gave to Lu Hao.

Lu Hao opened the pouch, swept his Divine Sense through it, confirmed the quantity of Materials was correct, and put it away.

He was about to step out the door.

Before leaving, Lu Hao suddenly thought of something. He stopped and said to Shi Yi, “Shi Yi, do you want to come with me? If you work for me, I won’t treat you unfairly.”

Lu Hao thought that he might need to purchase a large amount of supplies in the future, and he couldn't personally handle it every time, could he?

That would be too tiring, so he suddenly thought he should find someone to run errands for him.

He was quite satisfied with the girl Shi Yi, so he casually asked her if she was willing to follow him.

It would be even better if she was willing, but if not, Lu Hao didn't mind; he was just saying it casually.

Upon hearing Lu Hao’s words, Shi Yi didn't even think and immediately said, “Senior, I am willing!”

Are you kidding? On one side was an employee of a shop, and on the other was Lu Hao, who was unbelievably generous.

How to choose? Most people probably wouldn't even need to think about it, right?

Ning Hefeng’s face showed a slight displeasure. Lu Hao poaching someone in front of him was a bit too disrespectful.

Moreover, if Shi Yi left with him, how could he deal with her?

But due to Lu Hao’s status as a major client, Ning Hefeng didn’t say much, only staring coldly at Shi Yi.

It was as if he was threatening her, telling her not to leave.

Shi Yi ignored him, quickly walked to Lu Hao’s side, and then said to Ning Hefeng, “Boss, here are these Spirit Stones for you. I’ve already taken out my fifty-six billion Spirit Stones, which is my share.”

Ning Hefeng’s anger flared up again. Damn it, so many Spirit Stones were taken away! That was normally a month’s profit!

An inexplicable fire burned within him, and it took a long while before he managed to squeeze out a sentence: “Alright, alright, I understand. Senior, welcome back next time!”

Lu Hao said nothing and left directly.

He didn't want to communicate further with someone like Ning Hefeng.

After Lu Hao left, Ning Hefeng kicked Xiao Wei out of the Medicine Pavilion.

Such an unobservant thing, actually offending Lu Hao and almost ruining his sky-high order!

How could someone like Ning Hefeng possibly let her stay in his shop?

After six days of hard work, Lu Hao finally received his first Alchemy Disciple and also purchased some medicinal Materials.

After buying the medicinal Materials, it was already late, so Lu Hao returned to his courtyard in Wulong Village.

“Disciple, come quickly. I have prepared a welcoming gift for you.”

Yin Xiaotong was originally very focused on studying medicinal Materials, improving her understanding of plants.

She hadn't even noticed Lu Hao's arrival until he spoke up, and then she reacted.

So she immediately stopped what she was doing, ran into Lu Hao's room, and eagerly asked, “Master, where’s my welcoming gift?!”

Lu Hao looked at Yin Xiaotong's impatient expression, smiled slightly, then took out a Storage Pouch and threw it to Yin Xiaotong, saying, “Here are five hundred sixty thousand types of plants, ten portions of each. Consider this my welcoming gift to you. Take them out and study them thoroughly first.”

“You can do whatever you want with them—break them apart, crush them, refine them, anything! Just do whatever you think will help you understand the characteristics of these plants faster.”

“Don’t worry, if you use them all up, I have more here. I can’t guarantee anything else, but for Materials, there’s plenty!”

Yin Xiaotong’s eyes lit up when she heard Lu Hao’s words!

Five hundred sixty thousand types of medicinal Materials?! Ten of each?! Oh my goodness!

All for her to use? Is Master too generous?! This must be hundreds of billions of Spirit Stones!

And he said she could use them however she wanted. This, this, this, how wasteful! Which Alchemist cultivates their understanding of plants like this?

Don’t most people just buy the most common medicinal Materials and primarily improve their plant understanding through books?

In the entire Guangdong City, who could be more extravagant than her? Such a grand gesture, even her father probably wouldn't be willing to do it!

This Master of hers is too good to her!!! She must work harder and absolutely not disappoint Master!

Thinking of this, Yin Xiaotong quickly said, “Disciple thanks Master! I will not fail you!!!”

“Alright, hurry back and study them. In a few days, you can start trying Alchemy.”

After Yin Xiaotong returned to her room, she began to study day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep.

Her own cultivation was actually not low; she was at the Late Stage of the Golden Core Realm. For her age, she could definitely be considered a cultivation Genius.

It was just unknown why she was single-mindedly only interested in Alchemy.

Yin Xiaotong heard Lu Hao’s words and was about to leave, but Lu Hao immediately called out to her.

“Wait! Disciple, there’s one more very important matter!”

Yin Xiaotong asked, puzzled, “What is it, Master?”

Lu Hao said with an extremely serious expression, “This is a strict sect rule, you must remember it well.”

Yin Xiaotong heard that Lu Hao was going to speak of a strict sect rule, and she also became serious, saying, “Please speak, Master!”

“At no time are you to break through your Alchemy Realm without permission! If you encounter a Bottleneck, no matter what you are doing, stop everything immediately and come find me!”
