Chapter 188: Chapter 187: Trading with the Alchemist Association

In the evening, Qu Tong returned to the Eastern Black Market and met with Liang, who had made a special trip back.

Liang was enjoying himself as always, one beautiful woman in black silk giving a massage, another Lolita Loli feeding him strawberries, dressed in his signature black jacket, wearing sunglasses, and the optical brain bracelet on his wrist replaced by a watch that obviously didn’t come cheap.

Qu Tong twitched the corner of her mouth, sat down at the other end of the sofa, and teased, "Liang, you seem to be enjoying life more and more, with one more beauty in your service."

Liang coolly took off his sunglasses and hung them on his chest, took the strawberry from Lolita Loli’s hand, and gestured with a wave for the two to leave.

Once the two had left and closed the door, Liang’s smile changed completely, now wearing a sycophantic grin.

"Sis, my God of Wealth, what sort of good job do you have for me this time? I’m ready for a big one."

Without beating around the bush, Qu Tong took out a stalk of Moonlight Grass from her Space Button and handed it to Liang.

The Moonlight Grass, processed with Qu Tong’s special ability, was still in a very fresh state.

Liang took it and immediately recognized it as the Purified Moonlight Grass that had recently caused such a stir.

Just as Liang was wondering why Qu Tong was giving him Moonlight Grass, he heard her say, "I have a thousand of them, help me sell them to the Alchemist Association."

"What? A thousand?!" Liang lost his composure immediately. A thought struck him, "You didn’t grow these on your farm, did you?"

Qu Tong just smiled and remained silent, as good as confirming it.

Liang was shocked.

He then voiced his second confusion, "The Alchemist Association is on good terms with Miss Ali; why not sell it to your friend, but to the Alchemist Association instead? You’re not short on money."

"She doesn’t need it," Qu Tong replied succinctly.

Liang assumed that Qu Tong had already provided Miss Ali with enough supply of Moonlight Grass and recalled a notice he had received:

"Selling to the Alchemist Association is possible, but our black market can’t handle it directly. My superiors have been alerted; no matter how high the price, we must not provide Moonlight Grass to Miss Ali’s God of Wealth Temple."

"I’ve received inside information that the real owner behind Miss Ali’s God of Wealth Temple is the former Potion Grandmaster, Yuan Hewen. The Miss Ali you know should be Elder Yuan’s disciple, named something Jun... Ali, probably Jun Li."

"Jun Li?!" Liang raised his voice in surprise and looked at Qu Tong with astonishment.

Qu Tong, on the other hand, remained calm. Sooner or later, as her handler, Liang was bound to find out.

"Sis, it’s not you, is it?" Liang’s neck stretched a little further, his eyes widened, and the disbelief in his eyes was even greater than before.

Qu Tong smiled and put her index finger to her lips, "Shush, there won’t be any money to make if the word gets out."

Liang realized that this was an implicit admission.

He immediately covered the watch on his wrist, his smile growing even more sycophantic as he nodded like a bobblehead.

"Won’t say a word, definitely won’t. Given how well I know you, I couldn’t possibly spill the beans."

Though Liang was somewhat greedy, he was also loyal.

Plus, he wasn’t stupid. Who was Miss Ali? She was someone who could casually produce an Advanced Mind Stabilizing Potion worth millions on the black market, so spreading the word would do him no good and only harm.

Having traveled widely and seen much of the world, Liang easily accepted that Qu Tong was Elder Yuan’s disciple.

This also explained why she was able to supply so many potions.

Seeing Liang’s acceptance, Qu Tong nodded.

It wasn’t that she trusted Liang, but now she felt rather fearless.

Even if she were truly exposed, she was confident that her upcoming plan could secure Si Yuting, Gong Yun, and His Majesty as her strong backers, even if just for the potions in her possession.

Moreover, her strength had recovered by ninety percent, so she felt a bit more reassured.

Such a large order naturally required a face-to-face discussion.

After consulting with each other, they finally decided to send Hua Zi, who rarely left Luyi Star, to handle the negotiations. The split would remain the same as before.

Thinking about the substantial amount of Star Coins that would soon be flowing in, Liang Ge didn’t even invite Qu Tong for a juice; he hurried off to Luyi Star straightaway.

The next morning, Qu Tong received a message from Liang Ge, who had already contacted the Alchemist Association, asking where they should meet.

Qu Tong, thinking about Master Yan’s instruction to adjust the mecha on C9 Star, suggested to Liang Ge to set the meeting place there incidentally.

Liang Ge replied, "Little sis, you’ve thought this through really well. The Endless Forest on C9 Star is rich in medicinal herbs. Recently, many mercenaries and civilian exploration alliances have gone there to look for Moonlight Grass. It’s perfect; we can disguise ourselves as local herb traders."

Qu Tong could only say that it was a coincidence.

Qu Tong first went to Master Yan to adjust the mecha and then rushed to join Liang Ge at their agreed meeting place.

Liang Ge was astounded by Qu Tong’s changed attire.

"Little sis, you look like a completely different person in this outfit. I almost didn’t recognize you. Is that hair fake or dyed?" he asked.

Qu Tong casually replied, "One-time dye gel."

"Which brand? Recommend it to me; the color looks pretty good. I want to dye mine too," Liang Ge said with interest.

Qu Tong: "..."

"Let’s talk business first," said Qu Tong, her voice cool and detached.

Admiring Qu Tong’s transformation, even her aura changed, Liang Ge didn’t digress further. He introduced her to Hua Zi and the others, "This is my business partner. You can just call her Miss Jun."

Though Qu Tong wasn’t wearing a mask, her makeup altered her appearance. Her original face was a mix between bold beauty and pure sweetness; with a bit of embellishment, a change in temperament, coupled with a different hair color, it became difficult to associate the two images.

Hua Zi was also dressed up, looking more like a shrewd herb trader.

Liang Ge even gave him an impressive watch, his hair neatly slicked with gel, his suit sharp, and he was flanked by two muscular bodyguards, giving off quite the formidable aura.

Hua Zi called out "Miss Jun" with the two bodyguards in tow.

When it came to introducing Hua Zi, Liang Ge touched on it briefly before addressing Qu Tong about their plan, "I can’t show up, so you’ll pretend to be Hua Zi’s assistant later. But you’ll need to change your outfit; this one is too striking."

"Okay."

Qu Tong had come directly after retrieving her mecha and hadn’t had time to change.

This time, the person coming for the trade was Lan Guofu himself; she needed to be there personally just in case.

The two bodyguards provided by Liang Ge looked intimidating but possessed only ’A’ level strength, no match for Lan Guofu.

Liang Ge sent away the two bodyguards. The three of them reviewed their plan once more to ensure there were no loopholes before getting on the aircraft to the trading location.

As Liang Ge had suggested, Hua Zi tried to act a bit more arrogantly; after all, they were the ’daddies’ in this deal.

Facing Lan Guofu’s attempt to drive down the price, Hua Zi retorted in one sentence, "If you don’t buy, I’ll just sell to Miss Ali’s God of Wealth Temple."

This comment successfully irked Lan Guofu. His eyebrows furrowed, and his voice grew heavier, "Miss Ali’s family only offered 5,000 Star Coins per plant. Are you sure you want to sell to them?"
