Yan Zhiguo wanted to give his granddaughter pocket money, so he asked for Yan Xiluo's WeChat.
"Luo Luo, quickly add me as a friend, and also save my phone number for Grandpa so that Grandpa can chat with you."
Yan Zhiguo looked at Yan Xiluo with a grin.
Upon hearing this, Liao Yufang hurriedly said, "Luo Luo, Grandma wants some too."
Yan Xiluo added the two as friends and saved their numbers. Then her phone rang. She saw two transfer notifications: another two sums of 50 million each...
“Grandpa and Grandma, I have money to spend. My parents and brothers have given me pocket money, and I also have some savings.”
Yan Zhiguo smiled and said, "What your parents and brother gave you is what they gave you, and what your grandfather gave you is what your grandfather gave you. They are different."
Liao Yufang quickly echoed her sentiment.
"That's right, that's right. What Grandma gives is Grandma's gift, it represents Grandma's good wishes, so just accept it! I don't want my precious granddaughter to suffer. From now on, Grandma will give you pocket money every month to buy candy!"
Yan Zhiguo said with a smile, "Grandpa will give you pocket money every month to buy candy. If you don't have enough, just call Grandpa and Grandpa will transfer it to you right away!"
Seeing how enthusiastic her grandparents were, Yan Xiluo was in a great mood. In order not to disappoint them, she had no choice but to go along with their wishes. She would definitely pick out gifts for all her family members another day!
"Okay, thank you Grandpa and Grandma, I'll accept it then~"
Afterwards, Yan Zhiguo and Liao Yufang kept chatting with Yan Xiluo, wanting to know how she lived in the past, what she liked, and what she loved to eat.
After the family enjoyed a happy meal, Yan Youting, Li Shuwen, and Yan Xiluo said goodbye to the two elderly people.
Upon returning home, Yan Xiluo immediately went to her room and dialed the number of her subordinate, A Bing, who was in charge of managing and guarding their drug laboratory and was also involved in many of the research projects.
"Bing, quickly find out where I can buy live tongcao (a type of herb) and give me an answer as soon as possible."
My boss calls and assigns me a task: where am I supposed to find something as rare and priceless as live tongcao (a type of herb)? It was only auctioned once three years ago, and then there was no news of it since.
"Boss, you know how rare this living tongcao is. There's been no news of it for three years. I'll do my best!"
"good."
Yan Xiluo frowned and hung up the phone.
Sigh, indeed, there hasn't been any news about the Living Grass for three years. Where can we even find it? Suddenly, I thought of my master, the one Yan Xiluo became apprentice under during her trials on Corpse Island. Perhaps he could find out some information.
(The Island of Corpses is a place where only those who pass the trial can emerge alive once it begins; those who fail die on the spot. Hence the name, the Island of Corpses. Only a handful of people manage to escape.)
Immediately afterwards, Yan Xiluo called her master, Gui Chi, "Hello, Master."
"What's wrong, Mei'er? Are you thinking about your master?" If this girl doesn't call me, nothing's wrong. But if she calls, something must have happened.
"Master, my grandfather is seriously ill and needs 'living tongcao' (a type of herb) for medicine. I don't have much time left. I would like to ask if you could help me find out where 'living tongcao' is?"
Gui Chi closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then decided that he should ask his friends; perhaps he could find out the answer.
"Let me ask my friends first to see if I can find out anything. Master will let you know as soon as I have any news."
"Alright, then I'll trouble you to inquire about it for me, Master. Thank you."
"Why are you being so polite with your master? Okay, I'll hang up now. I'll ask around for you right away." Gui Chi hung up the phone.
About ten minutes later, Gui Chi called.
"Mei'er, I've found out about the Living Grass for you. There's one on Ghost Island now. Although you passed the trial on Corpse Island, Ghost Island is much more dangerous. Not only is it full of poisonous plants, where you could die if you're not careful, but there are also many ferocious wild beasts. I'm afraid you can't go alone!"
This explains why living Tetrapanax papyrifer is so expensive and rare. Not only does it grow in dangerous environments, but it also requires skilled people to obtain it; one person alone certainly cannot do it.
Yan Xiluo frowned. Ghost Island was indeed dangerous, and she had heard about it before. She would have to take a few of her brothers with her next.
"Yes, Master. I'll go arrange the manpower right away. A round trip will waste a whole day. I need to make medicine when I get back, and time is very tight."
Gui Chi was worried because Mei'er was his most outstanding disciple, and even more talented than him.
"Mei'er, you must be extra careful. Report your safety to your master as soon as you get out!"
Yan Xiluo comforted and teased, "Don't worry, Master. Don't you know whose disciple I am? I'll go prepare now."
Gui Chi said softly, "Mm."
Yan Xiluo then immediately called the gang he had established in Country Y, selected a few skilled subordinates, and set off together to meet up on Ghost Island.
After arranging everything, Yan Xiluo immediately booked a flight to Country E, since Ghost Island was located in Country E.
Because the trip was extremely dangerous, Yan Xiluo kept it a secret from both sets of parents, saying that she had something to do there and would be back in a day or two.
