Three months later, a large number of commonly used spiritual herbs on the market were fully stocked, accounting for 70% of the total share.

A year later, some precious spiritual herbs were bought one after another with the spending of a large amount of spiritual stones, completing 95% of the total share.

One year and five months later, most of the rare first- and second-grade spiritual herbs were found and transported back to the medicine house.

Two years later, the missing rare spiritual herbs were screened again, and more than a dozen kinds of spiritual herbs were added.

Then, the medicine house stopped operating.

"There are nine kinds of spiritual herbs left, none of which can be solved with spiritual stones. We have to use our connections and favors to solve them."

In the past two years, Chen Sheng has focused all his attention on the preparation of raw materials for the Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Pill. What he did most was the distribution of spirit stones. Without a treasury to support him, nothing could be done.

Until now, even if he invested a lot of spirit stones and energy, he still couldn't prepare the spirit herbs completely. This gave him a headache and he felt like he didn't know where to start.

"Teacher, we are already very fast, there will be no delay."

What Zhou Lie said was the truth. The higher-ups set a nine-year deadline because they knew that the preparation and refining of the raw materials for the Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Pill were not easy tasks.

It is already very good that they have been able to prepare the raw materials to the current level within two years.

"Do you have any ideas or solutions?"

Mr. Chen knew this.

He is not impatient. These things must be solved. The earlier they are discovered, the sooner they can be solved.

Moreover, others might think that refining the Qianyuan Dragon-Tiger Pill is a hassle, but he likes it very much.

Using a large amount of spiritual herbs to refine precious second-level elixirs can improve alchemy skills.

"The Reincarnation Branch, Xuanqing Fruit, Nine Dew Flower, and Frost Deer Bud are in our clan's treasure house. I am willing to present them to the elder."

Cheng Yushu was the first to stand up. He looked extremely respectful and almost solved half of the problem right from the start.

“That’s thoughtful.”

Mr. Chen looked at him for about two or three breaths before he slowly spoke.

"This is my humble duty."

Cheng Yushu did not dare to claim credit for anything. He remained respectful and spoke briefly. He did not want to attract any attention at this time.

In the two or three breaths that Chen Sheng looked at him, he knew that this man saw that he was showing his loyalty and trying his best to get closer to the other party.

The power of Yaolu is so great now that the preparation of the raw materials for the Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Pill has been almost completed in just two years.

If we continue to advance at the previous pace, it will take at least five or six years to accomplish this.

This frightened him and the family behind him, and they also felt resentful for not standing up when Xiao Daofeng caused trouble 20 years ago.

Just look at Qi Luo's current power and you will know.

This man, whose talent and ability were comparable to his, but whose family background was dozens of levels lower than his, leapt up and actually firmly surpassed him.

Even the family behind him had to show respect and pay homage to this newly rising big shot in the pharmacy.

The change in the fate of the two people happened twenty years ago when Qi Luo stood up when Xiao Daofeng jumped.

His sincerity and amazing talent made Mr. Chen fully appreciate him and entrusted him with important tasks. Until now, his influence alone is comparable to that of an entire family's struggle for three to five hundred years.

To be honest, he was envious.

Although Mr. Chen saw that he had good talent and gave him important tasks in the past twenty years, there was still a gap between him and Qi Luo.

Even when it came to making the actual decision about the direction of Yaolu, he and Qi Luo had a deviation, and Chen Sheng would tend to favor Qi Luo.

He wanted to change this difference.

These four precious spiritual herbs are certainly not easy to find, and the favors and connections involved are extremely terrifying.

But with Mr. Chen's affirmation, he felt that it was not in vain. As long as he could bridge the gap between them, then everything would be worth it.

"Shame on me, I only found the Randu flower."

Qi Luo glanced at Cheng Yushu with a calm expression. In their early years, there was a hidden rivalry between the two of them, but as he stood at a very high position in the medicine house, the comparison in his heart had disappeared.

Everything is based on the stability of the medicine house, and personal interests can be abandoned.

There seems to be not much difference between him and Qi Luo, but in fact, the biggest gap is the level of their mentality.

"Tian Xingzi, we can almost capture him."

After the two of them, there was an alchemist who was valued by Chen Sheng and also gave good news.

"So, all we're missing is the Dragon Origin Wood, Tiger Soul Grass, and Green Fungus Stone."

A smile appeared on Chen Sheng's face. Even though he still lacked three rare second-level spiritual herbs, fortunately, the difference was not too far.

As for the rest, he should be able to solve it if he thinks of a way.

White Jade Peak.

Fu Yunzi's blood and energy were declining, and he rarely cared about trivial matters. He delegated the management power to Lu Zhu.

He spent his days leisurely, traveling around the mountains and rivers, or visiting friends, and was extremely comfortable.

"Senior, I am here to bother you."

Mr. Chen walked over without too many rules or formalities.

Baiyufeng and Yaolu are almost like a family. Fuyunzi is his elder and also Luzhu's teacher. Their friendship is deep and unconventional.

"The spiritual herbs needed for the Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Pill, is there anything I can help with?"

Fu Yunzi was very happy to see Mr. Chen coming. This was a younger generation he had high hopes for, and he really worked hard, which made him proud.

Especially after Chen Sheng and Lu Zhu became Taoist partners, he sincerely planned for Chen Sheng and gave him a lot of constructive advice.

The new structure of the medicine house originated from this.

"It's missing three second-level spiritual herbs, which are relatively difficult to find."

Mr. Chen did not try to hide anything but directly stated his current predicament. He had already tried all the methods in Yaolu but still could not find it.

Next, I can only rely on chance or introduction from others to solve the remaining troubles.

"I have a fellow Taoist who has a Yang Tiger. He should have Tiger Soul Grass on hand."

Fu Yunzi went over the information in his mind and without much time, he gave the good news.

He didn't understand spiritual herbs, but he knew a lot about Tiger Soul Grass.

The tiger soul grass can only thrive if it is watered with the blood of the yang tiger every day.

He has an old friend who rides a Yanghu as a mount, and he also talked about the cultivation of Tiger Soul Grass, so it should be possible.

"Then I'll have to ask you, old man, to introduce me."

Mr. Chen said happily.

"It's simple. I'll write a letter and you can take it. He is a very generous person."

Fu Yunzi picked up the pen and wrote on the white paper, clarifying the relationship between him and Chen Sheng.

With this in mind, the old friend will never be stingy.

"Then I'll go do my work."

Mr. Chen understood that it was simply said. Without this relationship, even if he found the person, he would have to work hard to persuade him before making any progress.

Unlike now, with the handwritten letter paving the way, the Tiger Soul Grass can be collected quickly.

Burning mountain.

Yangsheng Cave.

A fierce red light shone out from the cave, bringing with it a scorching heat, baking the entire mountain so that no grass or trees could grow, leaving it bare.

"Stop shouting. It's not that I don't want to give you some blood food to satisfy your hunger, but all the birds and beasts in this area of ​​100 miles have moved away."

Taoist Dahu was dissatisfied. He looked at the tiger demon in front of him and blamed him: "It's your fault. You were too fierce and scared them away."

When I first came to Fenshan, it was lush and green, with birds and animals everywhere. But after staying there for decades, even rats that came would cry and go back.

"Blame me? You've been bleeding and watering the Tiger Soul Grass all day. Master Tiger, I'm already weak. Shouldn't I replenish myself? There's nothing to eat, so what's wrong with me shouting a few times in protest?"

The tiger demon widened his eyes as big as copper bells and refuted back with reason and evidence.

When he talked about the sad part, he roared twice.

It's suffering. Ever since it followed Taoist Dahu, it has to abide by the rules of the human world and be loyal to him, but it ends up with no food to eat.

Simply meditating and refining qi can never make up for the losses caused by bloodletting.

"I didn't say you were wrong."

Taoist Dahu felt a little guilty and muttered to himself.

"For a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage to end up like you is simply too shameful."

The tiger demon scolded the Taoist priest Dahu for his carelessness and generosity, but in the end, all that was left was a dilapidated cave.

Only an old fellow named Fuyunzi can catch its eye, the rest are just its drinking and eating brothers.

"Stop talking. If you make me angry, I'll take off your arms and give you an extra meal tonight."

Taoist Da Hu also wanted to save his face, and became annoyed by what he said, so he raised a huge fist and pretended to punch someone.

“Come on…”

The tiger demon was not afraid at all. He held his neck stiff and his head up, not moving a single step.

"Don't think I'm afraid of you."

“Come on…”

"That's too much for you."

…

The Taoist priest Da Hu kept shouting, but the tiger demon kept resisting, and the situation was out of control for a while.

"Mr. Chen, the outer sect elder of Guangxiu Xianzong, is here to visit Taoist Dahu."

When Chen Sheng arrived at Fenshan, he was also quite confused. The feng shui of this place was extremely bad and the spiritual energy was thin. How could a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage actually take root here?

If the map given by Fu Yunzi had not overlapped with this place, he would have thought he had gone to the wrong place.

Roar! Here, Taoist Dahu heard the shouting outside, and he had a step. He snorted at the tiger demon twice, and walked out of the cave without looking back.

"My fellow Taoist, we don't have much friendship, do we?"

He saw a young figure, worthy of being a member of the Immortal Sect, with an elegant demeanor, and even more rare was that he was approachable, without a trace of arrogance.

At first sight, he felt that this young man was nice, but they were completely strangers to each other.

"This is Elder Fuyunzi's handwriting. You will know it at a glance."

Chen Sheng smiled, took out Fu Yunzi's handwriting, pushed it gently, and it fell in front of Taoist Dahu.

"Floating Cloud? Okay."

Taoist Dahu suddenly became much kinder to Chen Sheng. After reading the handwritten letter, he said admiringly, "Elder Chen is amazing. He is in charge of the medicine house and holds great power. I really envy him."

It is indeed Fu Yunzi’s handwriting.

Since he is the younger generation of his old friend, he naturally has to take care of him. Moreover, the person in front of him is not a simple person.

He is in charge of the medicine house and can call the wind and rain.

He did not dare to treat him as a junior at all and gave him the fullest courtesy.

"It's just a little reputation."

Mr. Chen said calmly.

"I do have Tiger Soul Grass here. Come in with me and take a look. Go and take as much as you need."

When Taoist Dahu mentioned the matter of the Tiger Soul Grass, he did not shirk his responsibility. Since Fuyunzi had already spoken, he should not procrastinate in doing things and embarrass his old friend.

"A demon beast at the Foundation Establishment stage! If this man and this tiger kill each other, they can handle three to five Foundation Establishment cultivators."

Chen Sheng came to the cave and saw a tiger demon. It was tall and majestic, like a burning flame, with divine light shining in its eyes, and it looked extremely majestic.

Just, a little listless.

He immediately realized that this was a deficiency of Qi and blood, and when he thought about the cultivation of Tiger Soul Grass, he understood it instantly.

Taoist Dahu is probably not well off.

"Da Hu, what is this person doing here?"

The tiger demon vaguely heard the three words "Tiger Soul Grass" and looked at Chen Sheng, becoming extremely alert.

This is the few fortunes their family has.

You can't just go out and do good things casually.

"Qi and blood are deficient. Brother Hu, take this bottle of blood-nourishing pill first."

Chen Sheng took out a bottle of elixir and gave it to the tiger monster. It was rare for a monster at the foundation-building stage to have such a depletion of blood and energy.

"nice one."

The tiger demon's listless state was swept away. Looking at the blood-nourishing pill, he knew that it was a good pill. The vitality contained in it was extremely surging, enough to completely replenish its depleted blood energy.

"I'll take three Tiger Soul Grasses."

In the corner of the cave, Chen Sheng saw about ten plants of Tiger Soul Grass, red as blood jade, three inches tall, and exuding an indescribable aura.

There were stains of blood on the rocky ground, probably left by the tiger demon.

"random!"

Taoist Dahu is very generous.

"I……"

The tiger demon took one look at the blood-nourishing pill, then looked at Chen Sheng, with a conflicted look on his face. He would not have accepted the gift earlier, but now he felt it was difficult to refute.

In the end, it did not stop and quietly came to the corner, licking its fur to heal its wounds.

“Crack…”

Mr. Chen took out a jade box, sealed the three stalks of Tiger Soul Grass properly, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

So, all that’s missing are the Dragon Yuan Wood and the Green Fungus Stone.

"Thank you very much..."

He expressed his gratitude to Taoist Dahu. Without his help, he didn't know how long it would take him to get the Tiger Soul Grass.

"Fuyunzi and I are good friends, so you don't have to be too formal."

Taoist Dahu waved his hand, looking indescribably free and easy, although in the eyes of the tiger demon, he was a complete pushover and hopeless.

"Looking at the tranquility of Fenshan Mountain and the simplicity of Yangsheng Cave, I know that you are a person who likes tranquility and dislikes people's calculations. It just so happens that I have a Moling Villa in Howl City that is unused, so I will give it to you as a thank you gift."

Before leaving, Chen Sheng saw that Taoist Dahu was short of money, but he was generous and had a good character, so he was a person worth making friends with.

He left a property for the other party, which was enough for the daily practice of Taoist Master Dahu and the tiger demon.
