Lu Yuan glanced at the folder in Wei Zheng's hand and immediately realized what was going on.

Let's start with that.

Wei Zheng nodded and followed Lu Yuan into the private reception room to sit down.

"Manager Lu, first of all, please allow me to apologize for Gao Hong's abrupt visit. I didn't expect that old guy would secretly come to see you."

"It's alright." Lu Yuan waved his hand with a smile. "Old Gao is quite interesting too. You can tell he's very passionate about pharmacy."

“Of course, he has devoted his whole life to research, and it’s no exaggeration to say that medicine is everything to him,” Wei Zheng said with a smile.

When discussing Gao Hong, Wei Zheng couldn't help but express a hint of admiration in his tone.

Any predecessor who has carried out the spirit of scientific research to the end deserves respect!

Lu Yuan deeply agreed with this point.

"Sorry, we've gone a bit off-topic."

Wei Zheng smiled apologetically and handed the folder to Lu Yuan.

"This is the contract drafted for the strengthening herbs and medicine you provided a few days ago. The price is the highest I can offer. Please take a look and see if there's anything you're not satisfied with."

Lu Yuan took it and glanced at it, then was immediately stunned by what he saw and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Mr. Wei, are you sure this is just the price of the strengthening herb and the medicine?"

In this contract, the purchase price of each plant of the herb "Strengthening Grass" reached 270,000 yuan, which is 20,000 yuan more than before.

As for the medicinal liquid, it's even more outrageous.

It's incredibly expensive—350,000 per bottle!

He had specifically investigated the price of the medicinal liquid beforehand. Even if the medicinal liquid extracted from a low-grade herb like the Body Strengthening Grass was of extremely high purity, it could only sell for 300,000.

Wei Zheng's offer was a full 50,000 higher than the market price!

Don't underestimate the fact that an extra 50,000 yuan per bottle may seem insignificant, but ten bottles would amount to 500,000 yuan, and a hundred bottles would be 5 million yuan!

Moreover, this is a long-term business; in the long run, it all adds up to money!

"Don't worry, Manager Lu. This is the result of internal discussions at Lingyao Hall, which shows that the medicinal liquid you extracted is worth the price."

"That's good."

Hearing him say that, Lu Yuan felt a little relieved.

While making money is good, he doesn't want to get into any trouble because of it.

"Moreover, the demand for medicine from the Divine Martial Pavilion has been relatively high recently, and the prices of all medicines are rising. As a result, the prices of herbs are also soaring, so the prices have increased slightly."

Considering the recent situation, Wei Zheng patiently explained to Lu Yuan.

"But don't worry, Manager Lu, the price I'm giving you will definitely be higher than the highest market price right now."

“I trust Mr. Wei to get things done, and there’s no problem with the price.” Lu Yuan nodded with a smile.

After signing the contract and handing it back to Wei Zheng, Lu Yuan suddenly asked, "Mr. Wei, has anything happened in Yandu recently?"

Wei Zheng raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean by that?"

Lu Yuan laughed and said, "It's nothing, I just heard some rumors."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zheng immediately understood.

"It must have been spread by those guys from the Divine Martial Pavilion, right? But I don't know the specifics, I just heard that they seem to be investigating something recently."

Lu Yuan nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

"Manager Lu, if I may ask, when will the next batch of herbs and medicinal liquids be available?"

Wei Zheng asked with some anticipation.

Recently, business at Lingyaotang has been booming, especially for recovery potions, which are in short supply and have even run out of stock.

The strengthening grass and strengthening herbal liquid provided by Lu Yuan are the materials needed to refine the recovery potion.

Most importantly.

Because the medicinal liquid provided by Lu Yuan was 100% pure, the potions made from it were extremely effective, equivalent to 1.5 times the effect of ordinary recovery potions!

Therefore, Lingyaotang desperately needs the strengthening herbs and medicinal liquids provided by Lu Yuan.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yuan said, "I estimate it will take another two days."

After returning from the Spirit Medicine Hall last time, he threw the seeds he bought to Chu Xing, and hasn't checked on their growth since.

However, based on the previously calculated harvest time, it is estimated that a batch can be harvested in the next day or two.

Upon hearing this, Wei Zheng's face lit up with joy.

"That's great! Manager Lu just needs to give me a call, and I'll send Assistant Wang to pick it up!"

Lu Yuan nodded and smiled, "Okay."

After everything was done, Wei Zheng left satisfied with the signed contract.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to give Lu Yuan some instructions.

"Manager Lu, please don't forget about the herbs! I'm waiting for your good news!"

"knew!"

Lu Yuan shook his head with amusement.

After watching Wei Zheng leave, Lu Yuan instructed Zheng Meng to watch the shop alone, then turned around and returned to his room, entering the Beast Taming Space.

"Eee?"

Looking at Lu Yuan who suddenly appeared, Xiao Yi tilted her head in confusion.

Didn't the owner just leave this morning?

Why are you back so early?

"I'm here to find Chu Xing."

Lu Yuan patted Xiao Yi's head and turned to go to the place where herbs were planted.

at this time.

Chu Xing was carrying a small watering can and was humming as she watered the herb seedlings. When she saw Lu Yuan arrive, she immediately put down what she was holding.

"Master, you're back! Do you need any special services?"

Lu Yuan originally wanted to praise him for being hardworking and diligent, but he was speechless after hearing this sentence.

"Stop with the nonsense, I'm here to check on the herbs. How much longer will it take for this batch of herbs to mature?"

"We can start picking them tomorrow night," Chu Xing replied.

"It seems that these herbs and the Strengthening Grass mature around the same time," Lu Yuan mused.

"It's mainly due to the life force emanating from that tree; otherwise, normally, these herbs would take at least half a month longer to mature than the Strengthening Grass."

"That's a huge difference?"

Lu Yuan was slightly surprised.

These herbs are all mid-grade herbs that are more precious than the Strengthening Grass. He originally thought the cultivation time would be about a week different, but it seems that the buff effect of the ancient tree on plants is more powerful than he imagined.

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yuan looked at Chu Xing.

"Once this batch of herbs matures tomorrow night, harvest them and hand them over to me immediately."

At that time, he could take advantage of his free time to refine these herbs into medicinal liquid and resell it to Lingyaotang.

This would not only solve Wei Zheng's immediate problem, but also bring in a sum of money.

That's killing two birds with one stone!
