Chapter 34 - Soft Rice
Chapter 34: Soft Rice
(TLN: Soft Rice, usually means a man relying on a woman.)
“I’ll offer an extra thousand spirit stones,” Jiang Huai said slowly after pondering for a moment.
The Blood Sandalwood Flower was the most important ingredient in Jiang Huai’s prescription, crucial for improving the spiritual veins of Wen Wanwan’s sister, Wen Fufu, and indispensable.
Elder Qin sighed deeply, his face showing difficulty, “The key point is, Li Qiusheng doesn’t really need the Blood Sandalwood Flower. He only said so because he knew you wanted it.”
Elder Qin used to be a member of Alchemy Mountain and naturally understood the stakes.
Li Qiusheng was the eldest son of Li Xiaqian, the sect master of Alchemy Mountain. Elder Qin, also a member of Alchemy Mountain, found himself in a difficult position, caught in the middle. Moreover, the herb was no longer in his possession but in the hands of Alchemy Mountain.
Recently, Jiang Huai had injured Li Qiusheng’s younger brother, Li Qiuyuan, at the inner sect competition, not to mention his old grudges with some of the younger disciples and elders of Alchemy Mountain. That’s why Elder Qin looked so worried.
“Is the Blood Sandalwood Flower in his possession now?” Jiang Huai asked.
“Yes.”
“Then I’ll go get it from him,” Jiang Huai said with a light laugh.
“I’ll handle this matter. Elder Qin, don’t worry. Please take care of the rest of the herbs.”
