"Prepared for...for me?"
For the first time before sinking, he experienced the feeling of being "overwhelmed with gratitude".
“I know you’re short on cash, but it wouldn’t be appropriate to give you cash directly, so I’ll just help you with the renovations. I haven’t given you anything since I took you on as my apprentice, so consider this a small gift.”
Gao Wenyuan turned his gaze back to the distant, misty clouds and smiled faintly.
...I think giving cash is quite appropriate.
Shen Qian made a sarcastic remark, but he was also genuinely grateful. He could roughly guess that the big shot Gao knew about the time Liu Changqing had invited Shen Qian to stay at the Tower of Babel for a while after the college entrance examination.
A 99-story building would be at least 3,000 square meters. If the owner has to pay for it himself, who knows when that will be?
With this "residence," Shen Qian finally felt a sense of belonging to the Tower of Babel, no longer feeling that it was separated from him by something.
As for gifts or anything like that... actually, a sense of security is the greatest gift that the big boss can give to Shenqian.
The system is ultimately limited in some sense.
"Thank you, teacher."
Shen Qian spoke sincerely before asking, "That day, my teacher told me to come and see you before I broke through to the Martial Artist realm. I wonder what instructions my teacher gave me?"
"You don't need me to teach you anything for now. Changqing has already told you everything that needs to be told to you."
Gao Wenyuan shook his head. "I brought you here to give you something you need for a breakthrough. It's not worth the expense if you buy it yourself."
Shen Qian was taken aback. Just as he was about to ask what it was, he glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and found that a gourd had appeared on the table at some point.
...Okay, now everyone plays with magic secretly.
Shen picked it up and looked at it. It was just an ordinary gourd, and it was empty inside.
Just as Shen Qian was wondering what was going on, Gao Wenyuan spoke up, "Take the cork off the bottle."
Shen Qian did as instructed and removed the stopper from the gourd.
Gao Wenyuan waved his hand, "Bring the medicine!"
Like an ink painting, ripples flashed across the space before my eyes, and then herbs appeared out of thin air.
Shen Qian watched this scene in awe. There were more than 500 herbs floating in mid-air, filling half the sky, which was a spectacular sight.
Despite his limited knowledge of alchemy, he was still able to recognize several of the herbs, such as "black and white cordyceps" and "hundred-year-old ginseng."
These herbs have one thing in common: they have all been nourished by a large amount of spiritual energy, making them highly potent.
Could it be...?
Shen Qian, who had a rudimentary understanding of pharmacology, suddenly realized what the big shot, Gao, was up to.
Although I was somewhat prepared, what happened next was still shocking.
"There should be a fire here."
Gao Wenyuan casually pointed to the void and said something.
boom!
A raging fire, as tall as a person, burst into flames, its intense heat hitting you in the face, but vanishing in an instant upon approaching.
"Make it bigger."
The flames swelled until they were nearly twice the height of a person before stopping.
"Cordyceps is added to fire."
"Ginseng enters the fire."
"The Condensing Essence Grass is gone."
"Too much, reduce it by three points."
"The fire dropped by half a meter."
“Spiritual energy is coming.”
"The Hundred-Solution Stone is put into fire."
...
Gao Wenyuan stood still, speaking softly over and over again. The herbs in mid-air were thrown into the flames in order, with the excess being thrown out and the deficient ones going back in on their own. The colorful spiritual energy of heaven and earth continued to gather, filling the air with fragrance.
About five minutes later, with a wave of Gao Wenyuan's hand, the flames and herbal residue suddenly vanished.
In the void, only about a hundred milky-white, perfectly round pills remained.
Immediately, the pills spun and lined up, falling one by one into the gourd in Shen Qian's hand.
When the last pill entered the gourd, Shen Qian finally managed to close his wide-open mouth, and his gaze towards Gao Wenyuan was extremely complicated.
...Boss, how many things are you still hiding from me?
Shen Qian was no novice, but this method of alchemy was unheard of.
Incredible skill.
These four words are probably the only way to describe the feeling before sinking.
I wonder if the system can learn this technique?
However, Shen Qian estimated that the chances were slim, since there must have been some use of mental energy involved.
What a pity.
If you were to use this to demonstrate your divine power in front of others, it would be an absolute killer move!
"Take these Fusion Pills; that should be enough."
Gao Wenyuan sat back down and explained, "You have a perfect body, so the spiritual energy you need to break through will be far more than that of ordinary people. Without the help of the Fusion Pill, you can still break through with difficulty, but the quality of your spiritual energy will decline."
Shen Qian then understood Gao Wenyuan's good intentions and quickly bowed again to express his gratitude.
He originally had two Rongyuan Pills. One was picked up in Wei Sijian's laboratory, and the other was a reward given to him by Liu Changqing during the training camp.
However, he sold one to Zheng Shaoyang, so he still has one left.
Shen Qian originally thought one would be enough... because everyone else only used one.
Only after hearing Gao Wenyuan's explanation did I understand the difference.
If one Rongyuan Pill is priced at the lowest market price of 100,000, then one hundred pills would be 10 million!
As a "poor guy" with a mere million in assets, I definitely couldn't afford to come up with that much money.
Although Gao Wenyuan did not give Shen Qian cash directly, these gifts were far more valuable than cash.
While feeling touched, Shen Qian also felt a bit emotional. Boss Gao was too good to him, like a son... Hmm?
Shen Qian secretly glanced at Gao Wenyuan, and then felt somewhat ashamed. Judging from their appearances, the two should not be related by blood.
"If there's nothing else, you can go. Be careful outside the city; there are some places I might not be able to see."
