After paying, Zhou Lingkai grinned foolishly while holding the January's worth of premium food, his gaze toward Lu Yuan becoming increasingly eager.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but take two steps back, and said seriously, "This time, since you're a new customer, you can't buy by the month anymore; you can only buy by the whole year!"

"Understood, understood!"

Zhou Lingkai chuckled, while secretly wondering whether he should bring his father along and ask the shop manager to help prepare some food.

After all, looking across the entire Yandu, there are probably very few breeders who can concoct food with such effects!

If I can make my dad happy, I might even give him some money.

Then he'll be able to come and make a purchase from the store manager again!

Lu Yuan was unaware of Zhou Lingkai's plans.

He now only felt that Zhou Lingkai's appearance was extremely offensive.

After quickly finding an excuse to kick Zhou Lingkai out of the shop, Lu Yuan instructed Mu Ruxing to watch the shop while he prepared to go to the Spirit Medicine Hall.

This was a matter of great importance for making money, and he didn't want to delay it for even a moment.

However.

Before he could even leave the store, a familiar face pushed open the door and walked in.

"Manager Lu, I'm here again!"

Wei Dong greeted Lu Yuan with a smile, followed by a middle-aged man who was nearly fifty years old.

"It's you!" Lu Yuan smiled. "Buying things again?"

Wei Dong shook his head. "I came here specifically to see you, store manager. Would it be convenient for us to find a quiet place to talk?"

Lu Yuan glanced at the middle-aged man silently. "Come with me."

Chao Muru gave him a look, and Lu Yuan, along with Wei Dong and the middle-aged man behind him, turned and walked into the private reception room.

After everyone was seated, Lu Yuan handed Wei Dong and the other person a cup of tea.

"I wonder what you two want to discuss with me?"

Wei Dong did not answer directly, but pointed to the middle-aged man next to him.

"Manager Lu, this is my father, Wei Zheng, who is in charge of Lingyaotang's Yandu branch."

Wei Zheng smiled and extended a hand, "I've long heard of Manager Lu's remarkable abilities, and seeing him today, I can confirm that he is indeed a young hero!"

"Mr. Wei is too kind."

Lu Yuan twitched the corners of his mouth, inwardly complaining.

As expected of someone who can manage the Lingyaotang branch, he's a seasoned veteran from the moment he opened his mouth.

Speaking of which, Wei Dong did mention yesterday that his family was in the herbal medicine business. I didn't ask too many questions at the time, but who would have thought that his father was in charge of Lingyaotang!

But why would someone like that come to him?

And with such a fawning attitude, could it be that she knows he's from the capital?

"Manager Lu, please don't worry. I'm just here to ask you about this strengthening herb."

As he spoke.

Wei Zheng took out a strengthening herb from a wooden box.

Lu Yuan immediately recognized it as the one he had sold to Wei Dong yesterday.

What's wrong with this strengthening herb?

Lu Yuan frowned.

Could it be that he overpaid for that health-boosting herb yesterday, and the parents are now asking for a refund?

But he would never give back the money he had earned, especially since Wei Dong himself had offered to spend 300,000 to buy it, so it had nothing to do with him!

Seeing Lu Yuan's displeasure, Wei Zheng quickly offered an explanation.

"Manager Lu, please don't misunderstand. There's nothing wrong with this body-strengthening herb. On the contrary, it's the most perfect body-strengthening herb I've seen in all my decades of experience. It's top-quality even among spiritual herbs. If you use it to refine potions, the effects will definitely be greatly enhanced!"

Hearing this, Lu Yuan's brows relaxed slightly.

"So, what brings you here this time...?"

"I'd like to buy a large quantity of this body-strengthening herb. I wonder if you, Manager Lu, have any left?"

Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback.

Unexpectedly, the quality of the strengthening grass grown in the space was so excellent that it even alarmed someone like Wei Zheng, who personally stepped forward to purchase it.

It seems the impact of the ancient tree is greater than he imagined.

But that's perfect.

He was originally planning to make a trip to the Pharmacy himself, but they came to him on their own.

"Yes, we do have some, but I wonder how many Mr. Wei is interested in acquiring?"

Wei Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"We'll take as many as you want! Price is not an issue, Manager Lu, just name your price!"

When Wei Dong brought him the Body Strengthening Herb yesterday, heaven knows how excited he was!

Having worked in the industry for decades, he recognized at a glance that this health-boosting herb was of exceptional quality.

really.

After testing, all the data for this strengthening herb reached perfect quality!

It's important to know that the cultivation of herbs is affected by various factors such as weather, soil, and even spiritual energy. Trying to cultivate a perfect quality Body Strengthening Herb is simply a pipe dream!

But now, there really is a herb of perfect quality placed in front of him.

He was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night!

Because of the amazing quality of the Body Strengthening Grass, he subjectively believed that Lu Yuan had only obtained it by chance and that his stock was not very high.

But to his surprise, they turned around and asked him how much he needed!

This means that Lu Yuan definitely has even more!

"Manager Lu, I'm genuinely interested in buying this herb. Please sell it to me!" Wei Zheng earnestly pleaded.

Wei Dong, standing nearby, was even more astonished by his father's demeanor.

Having been in a high position, Wei Zheng had long developed an arrogant and conceited temperament. Even when he met the head of Yandu, he still acted haughtily. But today, he was so respectful to Lu Yuan, the owner of the pet shop, which completely shattered Wei Zheng's worldview!

But little did he know.

Considering the value of the Strengthening Grass, it would be worth it even if Wei Zheng had to beg Lu Yuan for it.

“Mr. Wei, there’s no need for that. Since we’re doing business, let’s get straight to the point,” Lu Yuan said with a faint smile. “I have a total of one hundred Body Strengthening Herbs. How much are you willing to pay, Mr. Wei?”

Wei Zheng pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "Because of the large quantity to be acquired, I cannot offer a price of 300,000 per plant. I wonder if Manager Lu would be willing to sell at 250,000 per plant?"

Lu Yuan pinched his chin.

really.

Buying in bulk will result in a lower price than buying a single plant, and Wei Zheng's offer of 250,000 is already a good sign of his sincerity.

"Price is acceptable, deal!"

Wei Zheng's face lit up with joy. He quickly took out a check, wrote down the amount in a few quick strokes, and handed it to Lu Yuan.

"Thank you, Manager Lu. Please contact me again if you need any more of this health-boosting herbal medicine in the future."

Lu Yuan nodded, then suddenly asked, "Besides the Body Strengthening Grass, do you buy other herbs? Of course, the quality is about the same."

"Does Manager Lu have other types of herbs?" Wei Zheng asked excitedly, his eyes wide.

"No!" Lu Yuan quickly waved his hand. "Not at the moment, I was just asking."

"I see..." Wei Zheng's eyes dimmed noticeably. "I can only give you a specific price after seeing the herbs. I'm sorry, I can't tell you right now."

"It doesn't matter."

Lu Yuan chuckled softly.

Anyway, all he had right now was the seed of the Body Strengthening Grass, and he was just curious to ask about it.

"That's all for today. I'll contact Mr. Wei again once I have the new elixir."

"It's a deal!"
