Chapter 125: Ten Thousand Year Jade Spirit Marrow
"Uh..." Chu Feng was at a loss for words.
"Only I’m allowed to talk about my husband. No one else," Su Miaoke said domineeringly.
"By the way, has Zhao Liu contacted you about the medicinal herbs recently?" Chu Feng asked, quickly changing the subject.
"No, he hasn’t been in touch at all. I don’t know what’s going on with him. I was actually about to call and ask, even if you hadn’t brought it up," Su Miaoke said.
"Alright, I’ll call him and see what’s going on," Chu Feng said.
Just a moment after he dialed, Zhao Liu picked up. His hearty laughter rang out from the phone.
"Brother Chu! You’ve finally graced me with a call. You must be asking about the procurement of those rare medicinal herbs," Zhao Liu said with a laugh.
"That’s right. I was wondering if you’ve gotten your hands on any good, rare medicinal herbs, Sixth Master," Chu Feng asked.
"Of course! I’ve collected quite a few. In fact, I just got a tip today about some Ten Thousand Year Jade Spirit Marrow. I’m planning to go check it out. If I can buy it, I’ll have it delivered to you, Brother Chu, along with the other herbs," Zhao Liu said with a smile.
"Ten Thousand Year Jade Spirit Marrow? People can still find that sort of thing nowadays?" Chu Feng was astounded when he heard the news.
’I can’t believe these guys got their hands on something this good.’
"They do. There’s actually quite a bit of it out there, but as soon as it appears, it gets snatched up by major tycoons and the rich and powerful. It never makes it to the open market. This time is a real opportunity. I was wondering if Brother Chu would be interested in going to take a look together?" Zhao Liu asked.
"Of course. With something like that available, I definitely have to go see it," Chu Feng said.
"Then wait for me to arrange for someone to pick you up, Younger Brother Chu. We’ll take a plane over," Zhao Liu said.
"Alright." Chu Feng hung up the phone.
"Did Zhao Liu find something good?" Su Miaoke asked, seeing the beaming smile on Chu Feng’s face.
"He did. It’s Ten Thousand Year Jade Spirit Marrow," Chu Feng said happily.
"Ten Thousand Year Jade Spirit Marrow? What’s that? Is it very valuable?" Su Miaoke asked, confused by the name.
"The Elixir Pills refined from this can grant a woman eternal youth. Even someone on the verge of death from old age could instantly return to their younger self," Chu Feng said.
"Ah? I-is that really true? Does such a thing really exist in this world?" Su Miaoke was utterly shocked. ’This stuff is too amazing!’
"Of course it’s true," Chu Feng said with certainty.
"Then I want to go too! Something so amazing, I have to go see it for myself!" Su Miaoke exclaimed excitedly.
"Even if you didn’t want to go, I would have dragged you along. How could you miss out on something this good? Zhao Liu is arranging for someone to pick us up later and take us to the airport. We’re flying over," Chu Feng said.
"Zhao Liu really is loaded. He even has a private jet," Chu Feng lamented.
"Of course he is. As the transportation king of Beihai, his net worth is astronomical. It’s perfectly normal for him to own a private jet. I know for a fact he has over a dozen private helicopters," Su Miaoke said.
Many wealthy bosses buy luxury yachts and airliners. For someone of Zhao Liu’s status, owning a private jet was completely normal.
"The world of the rich really is different from ours, huh," Chu Feng sighed.
’Even though I’m rich now, I have no idea how to enjoy it. These rich bastards really know how to live it up. Private jets, private yachts... what else is private?’
"What are you sighing for? With our current resources, buying a private jet would be easy. Husband, if you want one, I’ll have someone contact an airline company right now, and we’ll go buy one," Su Miaoke said.
"No need. We can’t waste our money on things like that. We have to put our resources where they count," Chu Feng said, shaking his head.
After all, in this era, Cultivation made medicinal herbs, all kinds of Elixir Pills, and Medicinal Liquids indispensable.
This would be a huge expense. The further one progressed in Cultivation, the more money it would consume.
After all, an old saying has been passed down through the ages: the poor pursue academics, while the rich pursue martial arts.
The poor could only rely on studying and reading, while the rich could practice martial arts because they had the financial backing.
"We have nearly forty billion. Even buying medicinal herbs won’t use up that much. A plane would only cost a billion or two at most," Su Miaoke said.
Chu Feng didn’t respond. A short while later, Zhao Liu’s driver arrived at the villa.
After changing her clothes, Su Miaoke went downstairs with Chu Feng and got into the car.
Zhao Liu was already in the car.
"Brother Chu, long time no see. Am I imagining things, or have you gotten even more robust?" Zhao Liu noticed the change in Chu Feng the moment he saw him and asked with a smile.
"Not at all. I’ve just been messing around with my training lately," Chu Feng said.
A flicker of surprise flashed in Zhao Liu’s eyes. He knew that what Chu Feng called "messing around" was anything but ordinary.
However, Zhao Liu didn’t press the issue. Instead, he changed the subject. "About that Ten Thousand Year Jade Spirit Marrow—we probably aren’t the only ones with our eyes on it. There are likely quite a few others. It was dug out of a mining pit."
"The owner of that mine has lost a fortune gambling over the past few years and is drowning in debt. This thing will probably be bid up to a very high price."
"Doesn’t matter," Chu Feng said.
High price or not, it didn’t matter. In Chu Feng’s eyes, the only question was whether the item was useful. If it was, he had to buy it.
"Sixth Master, how long until we get there?" Chu Feng asked.
"About two hours. It’s not in Beihai City," Zhao Liu said.
"Alright, let’s get going then," Chu Feng said with a nod.
The car started and headed toward Beihai Airport.
Zhao Liu had his own private hangar at the airport.
Upon arriving at the airport, they were immediately greeted by staff who respectfully escorted Chu Feng and the others onto the plane.
"You have to file a flight plan for a private jet like this, right?" Chu Feng asked after boarding.
The interior of the plane was incredibly luxurious. One glance was enough to leave a single impression: expensive!
"That’s right. You have to file a plan in advance for every trip to avoid overlapping with other flight paths and causing a crash," Zhao Liu said with a smile.
"What’s this? I see Brother Chu is quite interested in this plane?" Zhao Liu continued to ask.
"This is my first time on a private jet," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"Then this plane is a gift to you, Brother Chu. From now on, you can fly wherever you want. How about it?" Zhao Liu said magnanimously.
"No, no, no, I couldn’t possibly. I haven’t done anything to deserve such a reward. I can’t just take something from you for free, Sixth Master," Chu Feng said, shaking his head and refusing outright.
To be honest, though, he was a little tempted. After all, who wouldn’t want their own private jet?
