Chapter 167: Chapter 166: Look, There’s a Beautiful Woman!

"Ding dong!"

Qu Tong set the spaceship to autopilot and opened her light computer.

Elder Yuan had already sent out all the potions for her, and they were all via teleportation gates.

Back when she had just arrived, she would only use regular logistics for 20 Star Coins, absolutely not the teleportation gate for 500, and even 20 was considered expensive; she would’ve wished the buyers would come to collect them with their own flying vehicles.

But now, it didn’t matter anymore, 500 Star Coins was nothing for potions valued at 200,000.

Within minutes, the potion test reports were posted online, prompting a new wave of heated discussion.

[Looking at this test report, there’s no difference from the previous ones, how can a potion with 100% purity be toxic? Who is spreading these rumors?]

[Hehe, I should really thank the rumor-mongers, otherwise I might not have gotten it.]

[Alas, I should die, having finally seen that there was stock, I actually hesitated!]

[The store owner finally decided to send us through teleportation gates, she actually made me anxiously wait when buying something worth 200k, who knows how much I suffered.]

[The person above, I think you’re humble-bragging, you actually managed to snag it twice.]

[Yesterday another batch of people got blacklisted, this familiar tactic, so funny.]

[Well, it serves them right for their foul mouths, they never learn their lesson.]

[Miss Ali has taught me a lesson: don’t bark without seeing the results, otherwise, when this big slap lands, you won’t know north from south.]

[Hahahaha, so true.]

With the potions dispatched, the rumors spread by the Alchemist Association fell apart on their own.

Those web users who had been manipulated could only blame their misfortunes for being so indecisive.

At this moment, Lan Jianghong, who had just received the Moonlight Grass, was raging in his office.

"Didn’t I tell you to buy up all the Moonlight Grass on the market? Where did they get so much Moonlight Grass from?"

Lan Yuanhui was somewhat timid: "Could it be they had a large stockpile? The suppliers of Moonlight Grass in the Empire are limited, and I bought them all out, plus I’ve signed an exclusive deal with them for half a year."

Lan Guofu also added, "I’ve bought up the scattered ones through the star network too, and everything that could be bought on the black market has been acquired. For those we couldn’t buy, they wouldn’t dare sell them."

Lan Jianghong couldn’t think of any other reason, does he have to believe that Yuan Hewen really could use contaminated Moonlight Grass to make potions?

Impossible!

Potions made with contaminated medicinal herbs would only make Mental Outbursts worse, that old Yuan Hewen was just bluffing.

Lan Weiying poured Lan Jianghong a cup of tea, elegantly speaking:

"Grandfather need not worry, we just have to wait, previously the Princess Consort had been sourcing Moonlight Grass everywhere, apparently they’re running low on stock. They managed this month, but what about next month?"

"Xiaoying is right, the shortest growth period for Moonlight Grass is three months. Even if they find others to help, they can’t possibly have a lot of Moonlight Grass, they’re still too green to compete with our Alchemist Association."

Lan Yuanhui nodded in agreement, his eyes brimming with smug self-satisfaction.

"Then we’ll endure them for another month," Lan Jianghong calmed his emotions, passing one of the Space Buttons to Lan Weiying who was beside him.

"This contains the Moonlight Grass from the military and research institutes, it’s all here, work hard on your research, striving for an early breakthrough."

Lan Weiying took it, respectfully saying, "Thank you, Grandfather, I will do my best."

The previous statements made by the Alchemist Association weren’t entirely false, only that they weren’t developing a new potion, but rather Lan Weiying had made a new discovery that might reduce cost without affecting the Advanced Mind Stabilizing Potion, which was currently being experimented on.

"Didn’t the military initially disagree with releasing all the Moonlight Grass? How did they suddenly relent?" Lan Yuanhui asked curiously.

Lan Jianghong’s eyes darkened as he looked toward Lan Guofu.

Lan Guofu’s heart skipped a beat, sensing an ominous premonition.

He heard Lan Jianghong say, "Guofu, you haven’t returned to the Legion for too long."

Realizing what that meant, Lan Guofu felt his anger surge, his fists clenched with a cracking sound, ready to throw a punch and scaring Lan Yuanhui beside him into involuntarily stepping back.

Through gritted teeth, Lan Guofu said, "How dare they? Father, did you just agree to it?"

"You act recklessly and without considering the consequences, giving them something to leverage against you. How could I not agree?" Lan Jianghong replied disapprovingly, sighed, and continued, "Starting today, you’ll help out with some of the Alchemist Association’s affairs. I’ll find an opportunity for you to be reinstated later."

Lan Guofu, catching his father’s stern look, could only suppress his anger forcefully.

"The military department has been urging us; are we still giving them the 200 High-grade Spirit Power Stabilizing Potions this month?" Lan Yuanhui asked.

After some thought, Lan Jianghong answered, "Delay it for a few days before giving it to them."

"Why give it to them at all?" grumbled Lan Guofu, discontented.

Lan Jianghong sighed as he looked at his simple-minded and impulsive son, saying irritably, "If we don’t give it, are you going to pay the tenfold penalty fee?"

Lan Guofu was taken aback; he had been in the army for a long time and did not deal much with the affairs of the Association, so he was unaware of these matters.

The selling price for 200 High-grade Spirit Power Stabilizing Potions was one billion; ten times that was ten billion.

Where would he get that much money?

Suddenly, he became silent.

"Besides, we bought a lot of Moonlight Grass at a high price before and need the capital to circulate," Lan Weiying also added.

Lan Weiying, as Lan Jianghong’s carefully cultivated successor, had already been involved in the Alchemist Association’s affairs in advance.

Lan Jianghong nodded approvingly at Lan Weiying and said, "There’s only one year left on the contract."

By then, the authority would return to their hands, and the circumstances would change.

Thinking of this, Lan Jianghong’s gloomy expression improved significantly.

He let his two sons continue with their assigned tasks and took Lan Weiying to the laboratory to supervise her potion preparation.

Qu Tong arrived at Abel Star in the afternoon, landing in a spacious plaza.

The wind on Abel Star was stronger than on the main star, instantly making her regret wearing a skirt, especially a loose pleated one. She could only hold it down with one hand as she opened her light brain to contact Si Yuting.

Not far away, a group of people was running laps with weights.

"What’s the matter with you? Can’t you watch where you’re going? Why do you keep stepping on me?" a hot-tempered soldier shouted at the person behind him.

"Sorry about that," the soldier behind first apologized and then nudged the shoulder of the man in front, saying, "Quick, look, there’s a beauty!"

"Apart from the tigresses here, you don’t even see a female bird, where could there be—wow, god! There really is a beauty!" the soldier in front had been skeptical at first but then suddenly cried out in surprise.

This exclamation caused more soldiers to look around, eventually fixing their gaze on the figure not far away.

In the clear daylight, the girl’s long hair, slightly curled at the ends, hung behind her and fluttered in the wind, with the white, pleated skirt dancing like fluttering butterflies.

Below her off-shoulder neckline, vast expanses of neck and shoulders were exposed, their whiteness accentuated by her fair skin, so delicate it looked as though it might break at the slightest touch. With long lashes and crimson lips, her pure white beauty exuded a fatal attraction, as electrifying as a shock to those who saw her.
