Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 608: Chapter 511 Ice Heart Fruit Obtained_2

One Treasure Medicine for five jars of Hundred Herbs Brew, that’s the set price.

But Treasure Medicines vary in value, and the cheapest and most common is ginseng, which is why he had recently acquired a lot of Treasure Medicine ginsengs, making it his least favorite now.

Yang Zhenshan looked over the three Treasure Medicines and finally set his eyes on a golden flower.

”Golden Jade Camellia?” Yang Zhenshan was overjoyed.

Golden Jade Camellia is a fairly rare Treasure Medicine with the effect of nurturing the meridians, mainly used for Half-step Innate Martial Artists to break through and unblock meridians.

Naturally, Yang Zhenshan had no use for the Golden Jade Camellia, but it was required in the medicine list for Xue Qiao’er.

After safely storing the Golden Jade Camellia, Yang Zhenshan silently did the math in his mind and found that he now had nine out of the thirteen required Treasure Medicines for Xue Qiao’er.

A total of thirteen kinds, and he could gather nine of them, thanks to the Treasure Medicines he had exchanged for the Hundred Herbs Brew during this time.

After thinking about it, Yang Zhenshan decided to take out all nine Treasure Medicines, had someone move them to the living room, and then invited Xue Qiao’er, Granny Xue, and Xue Zhongjin over.

”Here are nine kinds of Treasure Medicines, take a look first!”

Yang Zhenshan said, pointing at the various Treasure Medicines stored in different boxes.

Xue Qiao’er looked at the Treasure Medicines in amazement, ”So many!”

”Mhm, all the Treasure Medicines you need, but we’re still short four kinds!” Yang Zhenshan said.

Granny Xue stepped forward, opened each box, and carefully examined the Treasure Medicines inside.

”Indeed, the quality of these Treasure Medicines is excellent, but what about the remaining four kinds?”

Yang Zhenshan shook his head slightly, ”The last four kinds can’t be gathered in a short period; I’ll continue to exchange Hundred Herbs Brew for Treasure Medicines, and will increase the exchange to ten jars of Hundred Herbs Brew for one plant, but as for when I can get them, it’s up to luck!”

Xue Qiao’er looked at Granny Xue, who nodded slightly, and then Xue Qiao’er said, ”Then we will leave this matter in the Marquis’s hands!”

”If you’re not at ease, you can continue to stay in the Marquis Mansion.” Yang Zhenshan smiled.

Xue Qiao’er shook her head, ”No, we were planning on bidding farewell to the Marquis!”

”Oh? Are you leaving?” Yang Zhenshan asked.

”No, we’re planning on going to the Jinlong Dynasty to look for the Flame Red Lotus!” Xue Qiao’er said.

Out of the thirteen kinds of Treasure Medicines, the remaining twelve can be found within Da Rong, but the Flame Red Lotus can only be found in the Jinlong Dynasty.

They didn’t doubt that Yang Zhenshan could help them gather the other twelve kinds of Treasure Medicines, but they weren’t sure if Yang Zhenshan could find the Flame Red Lotus.

If Yang Zhenshan couldn’t find it, could they just keep waiting here?

So after a discussion, they decided to go search for the Flame Red Lotus themselves in the Jinlong Dynasty.

Yang Zhenshan thought for a moment, then nodded slightly, ”That might be good. Maybe by the time you return, the remaining three kinds of Treasure Medicines will have been gathered!”

Xue Qiao’er nodded and then turned to look at Xue Zhongjin, who understood immediately and left the hall. After a short while, he returned with three white jade boxes.

”These are three Ice Heart Fruits! Please accept them, Marquis!” Xue Qiao’er said.

Yang Zhenshan happily accepted the Ice Heart Fruits.

The third Spirit Plant in hand!

Hehe, the Star Origin Fruits he planted last month had already sprouted, and now he had obtained Ice Heart Fruits, Yang Zhenshan was in a very good mood.

After Xue Qiao’er and the others left, Yang Zhenshan couldn’t wait to enter the Spiritual Spring Space and plant two of the Ice Heart Fruits.

Why two?

One is too few, and three is too many, two is enough, and he could still try to make Jade Bone Ice Heart Pills with the remaining Ice Heart Fruit.

After planting the Ice Heart Fruits, Yang Zhenshan called Yang Mingcheng over.

”Dad!”

In the study, Yang Zhenshan waved his hand, indicating him to sit down.

”How many shops does our family have in the Capital City?”

Yang Mingcheng was startled, not understanding why Yang Zhenshan suddenly asked about this.

”Thirteen in total, of which eleven are rented to the Luo family, and the remaining two are used for grain shops!” Yang Mingcheng said.

Yang Zhenshan naturally didn’t care about how many shops the family owned; he didn’t need to worry about such minutiae.

”Have someone clear out one shop specifically for selling Hundred Herbs Brew.”

”Ah!” Yang Mingcheng was astonished, looking at Yang Zhenshan, ”You want to sell Hundred Herbs Brew?”

”Mhm!” Yang Zhenshan nodded.

”How much Silver for a jar of Hundred Herbs Brew?” Yang Mingcheng scratched his head and asked.

Yang Zhenshan gave him a glare, ”Silver? Have you got water in your brain? Trade it for Treasure Medicine.”

”Trading one Treasure Medicine for five jars of Hundred Herbs Brew is simply unreasonable. Lately, some shameless scoundrels have been shoving ginseng Treasure Medicines at me, huh, if it weren’t for giving face to all the bigwigs, daddy here would’ve slapped them already!”

What he least lacked was ginseng Treasure Medicine, and yet he got even more of it, that’s why he decided to change the method of exchange.

He would price the Treasure Medicines according to their rarity and market value, and then set the price with Hundred Herbs Brew.

The most common ginseng Treasure Medicine would be priced at three five-catty jars of Hundred Herbs Brew.

The fairly common ones would be priced at five jars of Hundred Herbs Brew.

The rarer ones would be priced at six jars, seven jars, and so forth.

As for the Treasure Medicines that Yang Zhenshan needed, they could be priced above ten jars.

In this way, Yang Zhenshan would not be at a loss and could also trade for some Treasure Medicines he needed.

”No need for a very large shop, nor a place that’s too bustling, but preferably a shop in West City, got one?” Yang Zhenshan asked.

”Yes, our family’s grain shop will do!” Yang Mingcheng said.

Property in West City of the Capital City was the most expensive. The Yang family’s owned properties were mostly in East City and South City, with only a small shop in West City.

No help for it. The prime shops in the Capital City had long been occupied by the powerful elites, and the Yang family couldn’t get more even if they wanted to - especially those in West City; those were incredibly hard to come by.

”Then let’s make some changes to the grain shop!” Yang Zhenshan said indifferently.

The alcohol he sold wasn’t ordinary, nor was the business he ran. There was no need for a big shop, nor any need for flashy decorations.

A shop and a sign were sufficient.

The main reason for opening such a shop was that selling alcohol at home was really not appropriate.

If there were few buyers, they could make do. But recently, more and more people came to buy alcohol, so Yang Zhenshan decided it was time to open a liquor shop.

”Keep an eye on this matter. If people come to our house to trade for alcohol again, tell them to buy it at the shop!” Yang Zhenshan instructed.

”Alright!”

Yang Mingcheng agreed with a sound and went to handle it.

While Yang Zhenshan was preparing to study the Elixir Recipe for Jade Bone Ice Heart Pills, Yang Wanqing came looking for him.

”Grandpa~~”

Today, Yang Wanqing was dressed in a blue, narrow-sleeved martial outfit, her hair simply styled into twin ponytails, exuding a spirited charm with a touch of elegance.

”Hm, why have you come here?”

Yang Zhenshan asked.

Yang Wanqing approached Yang Zhenshan with a giggling smile, looking up at him ingratiatingly, ”Grandpa, your granddaughter has a favor to ask!”

Yang Zhenshan looked at the girl. This girl was no obedient child; Yang Mingcheng and his wife found her most troublesome.

”What is it?”

”I want to follow Sister Qiao’er to the Jinlong Dynasty!” Yang Wanqing said softly.

Yang Zhenshan frowned, ”Did Xue Qiaoer tell you this?”

”Yes, Sister Qiao’er said they’re leaving the Capital City tomorrow to head down to the Jinlong Dynasty!” Yang Wanqing said.

Yang Zhenshan shook his head and firmly refused, ”No way!”

What a joke. Yang Wanqing was only fifteen at best, letting her travel far, would be a wonder if Yang Zhenshan could rest easy.

”But your granddaughter wants to go!” Yang Wanqing looked up at Yang Zhenshan with yearning eyes.

Her round cute face matched with her pitiful expression almost made Yang Zhenshan unwillingly reach out to pinch her cheeks.

This girl knew where to squeeze Yang Zhenshan’s soft spot, she was the best at acting coquettish with him in the entire Yang family.

”No discussion!” Yang Zhenshan still shook his head firmly, ”Girl, it’s not as simple as that.”

”You want to go out and play, that’s fine, you can go anywhere around the Capital City. You wish to travel abroad, that’s also okay, grandpa can arrange for someone to protect you while you enjoy! But going to the Jinlong Dynasty, that’s absolutely not happening.”

”Why not?” Yang Wanqing pouted unhappily.

”Because you’re too young and too weak!” Yang Zhenshan looked at her, ”The Jinlong Dynasty is a dangerous place, filled with many desperadoes, they don’t act by any code of honor.”

This wasn’t Yang Zhenshan trying to scare Yang Wanqing, but a fact.

The Jinlong Dynasty was located to the southwest of Da Rong, adjacent to Da Rong’s Southern Border fort towns. Among the many dynasties to the south of Da Rong, the Jinlong Dynasty was by far the most chaotic.

What sort of place the Jinlong Dynasty was? Well, many wanted criminals and felons in Da Rong had fled there.

If Yang Wanqing wanted to go to any other places, Yang Zhenshan might agree, but going to the Jinlong Dynasty? Let alone Yang Wanqing, even if Yu Qingyi went, Yang Zhenshan would not rest easy.
