Chapter 45: The Deal

“Chu Qing, what’s this?”

Ye Qingmei understood Chu Qing’s character well. She knew that he wouldn’t casually present something to deceive them. If Chu Qing had the audacity to reveal it, then there must be some hidden surprises or tricks associated with that item.

“This is something 1 made. It’s called a Spirit Stone.”

“How do 1 use it?”

“Now, circulate the cultivation technique in your bodies and feel the internal energy flowing within.”

Ye Qingmei began to do as she was told. Strangely, the Spirit Stone in her hand emitted a faint golden light, looking very beautiful.

What the hell is this…

Ye Jingzhu spent a considerable amount of time trying to figure it out, but she couldn’t come up with any solutions. Frustration creased her brow, and she began to activate her cultivation technique, just like Ye Qingmei.

A moment later, Ye Qingmei slowly opened her eyes, and a glint flashed across them!

“This is…”

“Aunt Ye, did you notice it already?”

Ye Qingmei nodded and said in an unquestionable tone, “Little Qing, how many of these do you have? The Ye family can accept all of them as long as the price is reasonable.”

As soon as those words were uttered, a commotion erupted among everyone present. Even the two white-haired old women opened their eyes slightly, sizing up the situation. “What is it exactly? Is it really that magical?”

“Gosh, 1’11 try it too…”

Ye Qingmei looked at Chu Qing, who nodded. Only then did Ye Qingmei hand the Spirit Stones in her hand to the people around to try them one by one.

“How can it have such a magical effect… Kid, where did you get it?”

Ye Jingzhu’s eyes were also filled with surprise, and the way she looked at Chu Qing changed.

“Beg me and 1’11 tell you.”

Chu Qing chuckled and reached out to absorb the Spirit Stones from those people.

“Beg you? 1 guess you picked it up somewhere?”

There was a trace of disdain in Ye Jingzhu’s eyes, but soon, the disdain turned into surprise, and her mouth opened wide.

Chu Qing casually took out more than io Spirit Stones from his pocket!

The fact that Chu Qing could casually fit such significant items in his pocket implied that he didn’t attach much importance to it. This led to the conclusion that he must have been their creator!

Upon witnessing the abundance of Spirit Stones, Ye Qingmei’s breath quickened slightly. The sheer quantity of Spirit Stones was ample to significantly elevate her cultivation level!

“Chu Qing, tell me your price.”

Ye Qingmei looked at Chu Qing and said seriously.

“For this Spirit Stone? They aren’t for sale.”

Chu Qing shrugged.

“Kid, are you messing with us?”

Ye Jingzhu panicked.

“Let me finish.”

“This thing will appear at the auction in two days. I will set the price according to that standard. If you want to buy it, you can come to me anytime. I will give you a discount on account of Ye Chenxi.”

“As for my presence here, 1 have another offer that I’d like to provide. I’m curious to know if you’re interested,” Chu Qing stated.

“What are they?”

Ye Qingmei had been listening to Chu Qing quietly. She knew that this young man in front of her would be highly successful one day!

“It’s a talisman that can be used to protect one’s body. In addition, there’s also a medicinal pill that can increase one’s combat strength for a short period of time. However, after using it, one will fall into exhaustion for a while without any side effects.”

The moment Chu Qing mentioned the pill, he could clearly feel that everyone in the room seemed to be breathing faster.

“How much enhancement can it provide?”

Ye Jingzhu did not interrupt this time. Instead, she asked expectantly.

“3O%.”

“What?!”

Ye Qingmei blinked her beautiful eyes and asked, “How long does it take you to make them? What are the prices?”

“Oh, making a talisman like that won’t take much time. It can be made within a few days. I’m not doing this for profit, but solely to assist your family. You can determine the price,” Chu Qing explained.

Chu Qing looked indifferent. Then, he continued, “As for that pill, we’ll have to wait for about a week. The first batch will all be provided to your Ye family. We’ll decide on the price then.”

“Why are you helping us?”

Ye Jingzhu felt a bit perplexed. Despite Chu Qing appearing to retaliate against her earlier disrespectful behavior, it was evident that he still held a strong bias towards the Ye family in every aspect. One could even say that he favored them.

“Why? It’s because of Ye Chenxi. She’s my friend.”

Chu Qing looked at Ye Chenxi, who was already in a daze, and said slowly.

Tears filled Ye Chenxi’s eyes. She hadn’t anticipated that her initial intention of pursuing a friendship with Chu Qing would lead to him offering such extensive help to her and her family in every aspect.

“There’s another small reason…”

“What is it?”

“Because the Li family has pissed me off!”
