"A healing pill worth one million gold coins...that's way too much."
Even an entire sect wouldn't need that many healing pills, right? Even their Pill Sect, which can refine its own pills and use them lavishly, wouldn't use that many healing pills in a year.
Now Bai Hao and his group are buying over a million healing pills at once. Are they going to buy enough for a hundred years?
“I also think it’s too much, but there’s nothing I can do about the sect leader’s demands. She told us to buy this much, so we have to buy this much.” Bai Hao shrugged helplessly.
He also felt that this was too much. When he placed the order, he already planned to use all one million gold coins to buy the lowest-grade Rejuvenation Pills, which would buy a full 100,000 pills!
One hundred thousand pills! The entire Falling Sea Sect has less than three hundred people. One hundred thousand pills? Are they going to eat healing pills like food every day?
He couldn't understand Su Yuewan's plan, but as her subordinate, he couldn't refuse his boss's orders and could only obey. Anyway, Bai Hao didn't have to pay for it, so let him buy it.
"There are so many..."
While the two were still marveling, the portly warehouse manager arrived. Seeing Bai Hao, he hurried over, a smile on his face, and said:
"Young Master Bai, you're back. The pills you requested have been prepared: a total of ten Nine-Turn Pills, five hundred Everlasting Pills, two thousand Bone-Growing Pills, and forty-five thousand Rejuvenating Pills. These are all the healing pills that can be bought for one million gold coins. However, the sect leader just sent someone to say that since you are from the Falling Sea Sect, Young Master Bai, we should give you a discount and provide more pills. So, we've added five hundred Everlasting Pills, one thousand Bone-Growing Pills, and five thousand Rejuvenating Pills to the original amount."
"Giving away so much?"
Bai Hao was startled.
Gu Changsheng is too generous! He gave away 500 Longevity Pills, 1,000 Bone-Growing Pills, and 5,000 Rejuvenation Pills. That adds up to 250,000 gold coins, 100,000 gold coins, and 50,000 gold coins, totaling 400,000 gold coins.
This is just like getting a 40% recharge bonus – it's so tempting!
Hearing this, Ouyang Yan, who was standing to the side, was also taken aback after a moment's thought.
Even if their sect doesn't lack pills, sending so many at once is truly giving Bai Hao face, or more accurately, giving face to the sect master of the Falling Sea Sect.
If it were an ordinary merchant, it would be considered quite generous to receive even a small amount of elixirs; it would be impossible for them to receive so many as they do now.
Only Su Yuewan has such face. Even if she didn't come in person, Gu Changsheng would give her such face just because of her name.
"We have packed all these pills in jade bottles. Each of the ten smaller jade bottles contains one Nine-Turn Pill. Young Master Bai, please keep them safe."
The other large jade bottles typically contain between one and two thousand pills. We have clearly labeled the contents of each bottle, so you can rest assured that we won't mix them up.
One thing to note is that these pills must be stored in jade bottles for proper preservation. Once poured out, they should ideally be consumed within half a month, otherwise their efficacy will be affected.
The chubby manager, like a dedicated customer service representative, gave Bai Hao a detailed introduction.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work." Bai Hao didn't waste any more words and handed the purple gold coin card with one million gold coins inside, which Su Yuewan had given him, to the fat steward.
One million, gone just like that.
After confirming that the amount in the gold coin card was correct, the fat steward couldn't hide his joy. At the same time, he hurriedly called out to the disciples next to him, "You two, quickly help Young Master Bai put these boxes of pills onto the carriage!"
"yes!"
The two disciples were quick and efficient, and soon they had loaded all four wooden boxes onto the carriage, just enough to fit them all.
"In that case, I won't bother you any longer. I'll be leaving now."
Having obtained the item—a pill worth one million gold coins—Bai Hao dared not delay any longer and decided to return to Su Yuewan as soon as possible to ensure its safety.
"Alright, I'll see you out." The portly steward maintained the same enthusiasm he had shown on the way and offered to escort Bai Hao out.
However, Ouyang Yan ended up taking the job.
"Steward, I can take care of seeing Young Master Bai off, there's no need to trouble you," Ouyang Yan said with a smile.
Seeing that it was Ouyang Yan, the fat steward had no objection and said, "Alright, Xiao Yan, please see Young Master Bai off for me!"
"Don't worry, you definitely will!"
Ouyang Yan was even more anxious than him.
...
The road from the warehouse to the mountain gate was still quite a distance. Bai Hao did not get into the carriage, but instead held the reins and walked slowly alongside Ouyang Yan, hoping to make their shadows stretch very long.
"Young Master Bai, you're going back now... Will you come to Zhongzhou again in the future?" Ouyang Yan walked side by side with Bai Hao, no longer asking Bai Hao with her head down, but mustering her courage to raise her head and ask Bai Hao.
"Definitely. There will definitely be many opportunities in the future. Maybe I'll even come back to buy pills from you then," Bai Hao said earnestly.
"Okay, next time you come, remember to come see me again," Ouyang Yan said.
"must!"
The two chatted casually and unknowingly arrived at the mountain gate.
As night began to fall, the two disciples guarding the mountain gate had already returned. The surroundings were pitch black. Bai Hao took a lantern from the carriage and hung it on the roof, its soft light enveloping the carriage.
"Alright, that's enough for now. It's dark and the road is long, don't bother coming any further." Bai Hao stopped and turned to look at Ouyang Yan.
"Well, then Young Master Bai, you must be careful too." Ouyang Yan stood at the foot of the mountain gate, outside the light, with her hands behind her back, looking at Bai Hao with reluctance in her eyes.
Bai Hao was about to get into the carriage when he suddenly stopped, turned around to look at Ouyang Yan, and walked over step by step.
"What's wrong? Did you forget something?" Ouyang Yan asked curiously when she saw him turn around.
"I forgot something." Bai Hao walked directly to Ouyang Yan, less than a foot away. The close proximity made Ouyang Yan subconsciously take a step back, feeling a little flustered.
"I remember when I left last time, it seemed like someone did something..." Bai Hao pretended to be deep in thought, looking puzzled.
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yan blushed instantly and stammered, "Um, you remember? Last time was actually a misunderstanding... I... I..."
But at that moment, she didn't know what to say, and her face turned red with embarrassment.
"Of course I remember, how could I forget?" Bai Hao smiled, then suddenly stepped forward and gently kissed Ouyang Yan's forehead...
Ouyang Yan was completely stunned and didn't react.
"It's only fair to reciprocate, this time it's a gift from me to you."
After turning around, Bai Hao smiled, got into the carriage, and left, leaving behind the belatedly aware Ouyang Yan, who gently touched her forehead, her face flushed, but she couldn't stop smiling...
