Chapter 241: The Four Seasons Fruit Tree
A heavy silence stretched between the two men.
Shen Peng’s eyes flickered with a nervous tension he couldn’t quite mask. Opposite him, Jiang Chen remained a statue of indifference, his face an unreadable mask of calm.
Finally, Jiang Chen broke the silence. “I’ll need to consider this. I have to discuss the matter with my friend—the one who actually refines the pills.”
Shen Peng let out a breath he seemed to have been holding and slumped back into his chair. He managed a quick, appreciative nod. “Of course, that’s only reasonable.”
“As for these two… top-grade pills?” Jiang Chen prompted, arching a suggestive eyebrow.
“For the Vitality Pills, no more than fifty,” Shen Peng said quickly, leaning forward to show his earnestness. “And for the Foundation Spirit Pills, twenty. I can purchase those immediately on behalf of the Shen family. If you have a larger stock, we can move them through the Evergreen Wine Shop, selling them alongside the liquor.”
Jiang Chen feigned a moment of calculation. “Let’s say sixty Top-quality Vitality Pills and thirty Top-quality Foundation Spirit Pills.”
In reality, his storage held a staggering 120 Vitality Pills and 70 Foundation Spirit Pills. He had refined them all during his downtime, treats of alchemy produced simply to stave off boredom.
Shen Peng produced fourteen Mid-grade Spirit Stones and placed them on the table. “As I mentioned, the Shen family can only absorb fifty and twenty respectively for our direct stock. The rest we’ll have to sell on commission at the shop.”
