Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After signing the contract, Chi Shuyan was taken to pick out a pill furnace. She didn’t even have a real pill furnace. The array of exquisite pill furnaces at the Jing Auction House simply dazzled her, and she swallowed hard.

In the end, she chose a completely black pill furnace that didn’t look anything special, mainly because although it looked a bit ugly, she found it unexpectedly pleasing to the eye.

Qian Zhengde and Jing Hengran were quite curious about the pill furnace she had chosen. Qian Zhengde still wanted to persuade her to choose a good one, while Jing Hengran narrowed his eyes and stared at the pitch-black pill furnace. After staring for a long time, he couldn’t see anything special about it at all.

In the end, Jing Hengran looked away. Even if this really was a good pill furnace, he didn’t plan to be stingy this time. After all, only when the pill furnace was good could the other party provide pills for their Jing family.

After Chi Shuyan picked out a pill furnace, Qian Zhengde and Jing Hengran took her to pick three rare herbs.

Chi Shuyan had already picked a pill furnace and didn’t want to take further advantage. Besides, when she refined pills in the future, the Jing family would provide her with all the herbs she needed. There was no need to be too greedy now. So, when the other party brought it up, Chi Shuyan directly refused. “I appreciate Young Master Jing’s good intentions, but this pill furnace today is already more than enough. As for the herbs, we can forget it. In the future, we’ll abide by the contract. I believe the Jing Auction House will give me a lot of herbs!”

Her behavior made Jing Hengran think even more highly of her, and his attitude toward her became even better. At the same time, his gaze was searching, mainly because the girl in front of him was young, but she was very experienced in how she did things, which really surprised him.

Chi Shuyan thought for a moment, then took the initiative to ask Jing Hengran, “Young Master Jing, is there anything that you need recently?”

Jing Hengran was even more pleased with the young lady in front of him. She was a shrewd person. He didn’t stand on ceremony and said directly, “Miss Chi, I want to ask if you can refine Spirit Gathering Pills, like the ones you gave Manager Qian before?”

Chi Shuyan wasn’t surprised that the other party coveted the Spirit Gathering Pill. After all, there was very little spiritual energy in this world. As its name implied, the Spirit Gathering Pill’s main function was to gather spiritual energy.

This was a medicinal pill that could replenish and increase spiritual energy. It was very good for cultivators. Moreover, this world lacked spiritual energy, so the Spirit Gathering Pill was very useful for cultivation.

But while this Spirit Gathering Pill was a very common pill in the cultivation world, it was indeed quite a rare treasure on Earth today. Chi Shuyan immediately nodded. “Okay, then I’ll choose a few sets of herbs for the Spirit Gathering Pill first. I’ll refine the pills in a few days and post them to you, Young Master Jing!”

When Qian Zhengde heard the word “post,” his body subconsciously jerked, and Jing Hengran was stunned. Qian Zhengde was the first to ask anxiously, “Miss Chi… can I ask if you’re referring to express delivery?”

Chi Shuyan didn’t know what Qian Zhengde and Jing Hengran were thinking. She nodded and said, “Indeed. By the way, if possible, Young Master Jing, why don’t you give me your address now? I can post the pills when the time comes!”

Hearing the young lady in front of them casually say that she would use express delivery to send them such precious pills, Qian Zhengde and Jing Hengran were in disbelief. At first, they thought that she was joking. When they confirmed from the young lady’s expression that she was serious and that she wasn’t joking, their bodies trembled in unison.

Qian Zhengde was scared out of his wits and hurriedly said, “Miss… Miss Chi, don’t… don’t, don’t use express delivery. When the pills are ready, let me know and I’ll go and get them!”

What would happen if the pills got lost in the mail?

At the thought that the pills might be lost, Qian Zhengde felt so pained that he couldn’t breathe. He quickly and firmly said that he would go and get them himself.

Jing Hengran also gaped, feeling somewhat helpless about the young lady in front of him. He didn’t know if she thought nothing of the pills or really didn’t think it was a big deal, but he also wasn’t in favor of the pills being posted to them. If the pills randomly ended up in someone else’s hands… not to mention Manager Qian, Jing Hengran’s heart also hurt just thinking about it. He nodded and hurriedly echoed Manager Qian, then said seriously, “Don’t post them. When the time comes, just have Manager Qian personally go and get them! If Manager Qian isn’t free, I’ll go and get them myself!”

Manager Qian immediately nodded. “Miss Chi, I’m free, I’m free…!”

Chi Shuyan: …

Chi Shuyan didn’t expect the two of them to be so agitated by her using express delivery. She indeed wasn’t too concerned, but since she was sending the pills by post, she naturally had a way to completely protect them. However, seeing that the two in front of her were firmly against it, Chi Shuyan had to agree even if she didn’t want to. In any case, if they came to get the pills themselves, that was at their own expense.

Chi Shuyan nodded. “Okay. Manager Qian, how about I add you on WeChat? When the pills are ready, I’ll let you know on WeChat.”

Manager Qian naturally agreed and immediately added Chi Shuyan on WeChat.

Chi Shuyan first chose three sets of herbs for the Spirit Gathering Pill at the Jing Auction House before selecting some others. After all, Jing Hengran was very watchful. She was afraid that if he noticed something, it would be difficult to get rid of him; it was better to take things step by step.

Jing Hengran and Qian Zhengde were both happy and worried about Chi Shuyan choosing three batches of herbs for the Spirit Gathering Pill at one go.

They were happy that their Jing family would have three Spirit Gathering Pills soon, but were worried and wondered if the young lady in front of them could really refine a Spirit Gathering Pill with every set of herbs.

But since he had already employed her, Jing Hengran no longer continued to doubt. He would revisit the issue in a few days. At most, he would just be wasting three batches of herbs for the Spirit Gathering Pill. It wasn’t like the Jing family couldn’t afford it.

If the other party wasn’t capable, he could just terminate the contract.

He originally wanted to ask her what level the Spirit Gathering Pill would be, but after thinking about it, he decided not to make things difficult for her. As long as the young lady in front of him could refine that unique and pure Spirit Gathering Pill, he would accept it, no matter what level it was.

On the contrary, Qian Zhengde was more confident in Chi Shuyan. However, when he thought of how the young lady needed to refine one pill for every batch of herbs she used, Qian Zhengde still broke out in a cold sweat for her.

If this young lady could refine even one Spirit Gathering Pill with three sets of medicinal herbs, as long as the quality and grade were slightly higher, their Young Master Jing would probably be very satisfied.

Chi Shuyan didn’t know the worries of the two men in front of her. She chose the herbs and left with her new pill furnace. When she went out, Jing Hengran said that he would see her off. Chi Shuyan could tell that he was just being polite, so she directly refused.

Jing Hengran didn’t stand on ceremony. He was indeed busy with other things, so he didn’t see her off.

Manager Qian sent her to the door.

When she left the Jing Auction House, Chi Shuyan’s phone suddenly rang. She picked up the call, but while the voice on the other end was familiar, she couldn’t recognize who it was for one moment.

The more she listened to the voice, the more familiar it sounded. It was only when the other party introduced himself as Xie Mingxuan that Chi Shuyan reacted.

The two of them had some ties, and Xie Mingxuan had always been very grateful to Master Chi for saving his life. He said familiarly, “Master Chi, I called you this time to invite you to the press conference for the film. I’m short of a plus one. Can you give me some face?”

Xie Mingxuan didn’t wait for Chi Shuyan to speak, and brought up Director Li’s invitation again. Director Li had repeatedly asked him to make this call. According to Director Li, the kindness which Master Chi had done them was very important. If it wasn’t for her, they might not have been able to finish making this movie at all back then, so Director Li was very grateful and hoped that she would come to the film premiere.

Chi Shuyan really didn’t expect Director Li and Xie Mingxuan to extend an invitation to her as well as call her. She wasn’t interested in the entertainment industry, so she naturally didn’t plan to attend the press conference.

Hearing Xie Mingxuan’s sincere invitation, however, Chi Shuyan hesitated.

Xie Mingxuan continued, “Master Chi, there will be many celebrities coming to support us. Is there any in particular whom you like? I could get Director Li to specially invite them to the premiere.”

After a pause, Xie Mingxuan also mentioned that an important film emperor, Ruan Shenglin, would be attending for Director Li’s sake.

Ruan Shenglin was a three-time award-winning film emperor. Although his looks were average, he slayed with his acting. Xie Mingxuan thought that Master Chi might be a little interested in him, so he specially emphasized that Ruan Shenglin would be coming.

Chi Shuyan thought to herself that she didn’t know who Ruan Shenglin was, nor was she a fan.

Seeing how earnest Xie Mingxuan was, however, Chi Shuyan could only agree. She asked for the time and venue.

Xie Mingxuan was also very happy that Master Chi had agreed. The two chatted for a while before hanging up.

After the call, Chi Shuyan was about to leave, when she saw a very familiar car come to a stop next to her. The window rolled down to reveal the man’s familiar and tired face. “Wife, get in!”
