Chapter 2690: Satisfied
The guards retreated after placing the trays on the courtyard table one by one.
Feng Jiu smiled as he looked at the items on the table. “Patriarch Guo is exaggerating a lot.” She picked up the purple ginseng and examined it. The item inside the box was indeed thousand-year-old purple ginseng and it was extremely valuable. Patriarch Guo seemed to be willing to come up with such a good thing as thank-you gifts.
“I really like these thank-you gifts,” she told Patriarch Guo.
Patriarch Guo smiled, breathing a sigh of relief. “As long as Young Master Feng likes it,” He smiled. “By the way, it was late last night when you returned, and there’s something I haven’t had time to tell you.”
He turned to face Feng Jiu. “My father and Xinning will be travelling in the same direction as you.” Patriarch Guo smiled after a brief pause, seeing her surprise. “Please do not misunderstand, Young Master Feng; they are all travelling in the same direction because they are heading to the Treasure Exchange Building. Since they’re going in the same direction, I am considering asking you to care for them.”
“Treasure Exchange Building?” Feng Jiu raised her eyebrows.
“Shouldn’t Young Master Feng have heard of Treasure Exchange Building? It’s a building where people can exchange treasures. In fact, we did so this time because we heard there was a medicinal pill of the highest quality there. To be honest, I’ve been stuck at the Immortal Sacred Peak for several years, unable to break through with my own strength. This medicinal pill is unique in that it is said that even if it is taken, it will not affect future progress, so the Guo family will do everything possible to take it.”
Feng Jiu was surprised to hear this and looked at him strangely. “Since it’s an item to exchange, it shouldn’t be so easy to get, right?”
“Haha, that’s a coincidence.”Patriarch Guo smiled. “In addition to the equally valuable item being exchanged, the other side is also interested in the Immortal Ascension Ladder. My father has been there before, and he was one of only a handful of people there at the time. I don’t believe there will be any issues.”
They were reasonably confident that they could obtain the medicinal pill in exchange.
…
Feng Jiu nodded, “I see. That’s good, then! I’m going to get ready now.”
Patriarch Guo left so that they could get ready for their journey.
Feng Jiu waited until he left, then returned the thousand years old purple ginseng to its box and put it away. At that time, she often used the thousand-year-old ginseng received from Mo Ze in her medicine. Later, she wanted to look for similar herbs again, but only a few of them reached this age.
She didn’t know that there was a thousand-year-old purple ginseng, which was more precious and rare than ginseng. Peng Lai Immortal Island appears to have more rare spirit herbs than anywhere else.
She could find time to refine some medicinal pills with this thousand-year-old purple ginseng in hand.
After putting away the thousand-year-old purple ginseng, she took one of the black pearls in her hands and played with it before putting everything away. Were these two black pearls only for decoration, or could they be used as medicine?
She was thinking about this when she heard Xie Yutang yawn.
“I just heard some people talking. Who just came in?” Xie Yutang rubbed his eyes and gazed out the window into the courtyard. There was no one else but Feng Jiu here.
“Patriarch Guo was here.” Feng Jiu looked at him and said, “Go wash up. I’ll ask that some breakfast be prepared. We’ll go on our way after a good meal.”
“Oh, good.” He responded, then went to wake up his sister before returning to his room to wash up.
