Chapter 201: Chapter 200 The Shocking Night

Brother Liang is currently on Luyi Star, so Qu Tong didn’t trouble him to come back and contacted Feng Lin herself for a meeting.

Dressed in sleek black, Feng Lin exuded efficiency; he was taken aback upon seeing Qu Tong clad in a modest, modified traditional Qipao.

"Is it convenient for Miss Jun Li to dress like this?"

"Ah?" Qu Tong was also taken aback by the question, then remembered the previous agreement to spar.

With a slight apologetic tone, she said, "I’ve approached Captain Feng for another matter this time, let’s reschedule the sparring for another occasion."

She had not had much spiritual power to spare in recent days. She wouldn’t mind pushing her limits, but she was concerned about the possibility of an accident leaving her as powerless as when she first arrived.

Seeing this, Feng Lin didn’t insist further. He found a seat and sat down, getting straight to the point, "What business does Miss Jun Li have with me?"

Qu Tong took out six boxes and stacked them in front of Feng Lin one by one.

Feng Lin watched Qu Tong’s actions without interrupting, but frowned slightly, puzzled.

Before, Brother Liang would bring a Space Button, and Qu Tong would place potions directly into it. This time, Qu Tong simply bought some boxes from outside to use for packaging.

Even the cheapest, smallest space button would cost forty to fifty thousand Star Coins, while a paper box costs only a few Star Coins, so naturally, she chose the cheaper option.

Save where you can, spend where you must.

"Brother Liang is tied up with something and asked me to bring you some items. He said you could transfer the payment to the usual account."

Upon opening the paper box lid, Feng Lin found it to be Energy Liquid, as expected.

After completing the delivery, Qu Tong didn’t linger and returned back.

Watching Qu Tong’s graceful figure depart, Feng Lin tucked the potions into his own Space Button, feeling regretful, "Who knows when the next time will be."

He was due back at the Legion tomorrow.

After returning, Qu Tong sent over the Palace Commander’s potions a day in advance, the quantity increased by ten more than the last time.

Gong Yun was sitting in Si Chen’s office, and upon receiving the update from Fu Jin, he had a knowing expression, "I was right, weren’t I? Old Yuan and Miss Jun Li are both reasonable people. They even delivered early, unlike the Alchemist Association which always requires prompting and hasn’t raised their prices in 20 years."

Gong Yun took out today’s dose of Sleep-Aid Potion and drank it, sighing with a rather good mood.

Si Chen also nodded in agreement, "Then I’ll ask my father-in-law to take extra care of Old Yuan’s side."

With Old Yuan’s concerns at ease, the Alchemist Association was causing more distress. Si Chen, while reviewing documents, inquired, "Is the Lan Family still refusing to renew their contract?"

"Difficult! That old brute Lan Jianghong is clearly saying he won’t budge without added compensation, pompously claiming that everyone needs potions while actually being selfish."

"Doesn’t he consider that if it weren’t for the nation’s military holding off the Insect Clan invasions, they wouldn’t be able to lord over things here?"

"Now that Old Yuan has come out of retirement, let’s see how much longer they can be arrogant."

Gong Yun had little regard for the Alchemist Association and didn’t hold back his opinions in front of Si Chen.

In their beliefs, both Si Chen and Gong Yun were on the side of the nation and the military, so naturally, they would not comment. Si Chen only sighed, "Still, negotiations must continue. Who does my father-in-law think should go next time?"

"I suggest we let them stew for a bit and wait for the online uproar to subside before addressing it."

"That might be best."

At midnight, on the dot.

Under the watchful eyes of various powers, Miss Ali’s God of Wealth Temple listed Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion, 260 doses.

doses!

Not just one or two more doses, not ten or twenty, but a whole 210 doses more.

The quantity even exceeded the monthly output of the Alchemist Association’s official store.

Not only were netizens shocked, but various factions were also alarmed.

Gong Yun, who had just left the Imperial Palace, was called back for a meeting.

That night, many did not sleep well, but that didn’t include Qu Tong.

Early in the morning, Fei Wenxing came over to call Qu Tong out to eat.

Turns out, he had snagged an Advanced Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion last night.

In a private room on the third floor of Drunken Star River.

The food hadn’t even arrived when Fei Wenxing took out the Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion he had snagged to show off.

Qu Tong’s potions were sent back with Elder Yuan to help ship them off; she didn’t expect old Yuan to be up so early.

Cheng Yao looked on with envy, jealousy, and hatred, reaching out to snatch it: "Why don’t I ever have such good luck?"

Fei Wenxing hugged it close to his chest and glared at Cheng Yao, "What are you trying to do? I got this with my own abilities."

"Sell it to me, my mom’s spiritual power has been unstable lately. My aunts all tried and still couldn’t get one," Cheng Yao said earnestly, not sounding like he was lying.

"Didn’t everyone get one before?" Song Ke said.

"My brother took it; he used it during the last Insect Clan invasion," Cheng Yao explained.

Fei Wenxing hesitated as he looked at the potion in his hand: "But I also want to keep this one for my elder brother, the one from last time was bought by a distant relative."

"Then, I’ll give you mine, just pay me the original price. I had a mental outburst a few months ago, and it’s unlikely to happen again soon, no one in my family needs it right now." He Zhou handed over his Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion.

He had planned to resell it, but he had been too busy training with Xu An and managing the shop recently.

Cheng Yao waved his hand: "Forget it, you only have one too. I thought Fei Cui had two, and I was planning to buy from him. Mental outbursts can happen unexpectedly, it’s better to have one on hand. I’ll look for other ways to buy."

"With Miss Ali’s store putting up so many potions for sale this time, surely someone will resell them. I’ll tell my mom to check on Star Net to see if anyone’s listing."

Xu An, who had been silent, looked at his sister and wondered if he should offer his extra potion.

Rong Yueqing also looked at Qu Tong, her gaze clear and bright.

Qu Tong nonchalantly took out a potion from the Space Button and handed it to Cheng Yao: "300,000, you’re welcome."

Cheng Yao burst into euphoria, exclaiming, "Qu Tong, you’re truly generous; I’ll transfer the money right now."

How could he have forgotten that he had a friend of Miss Ali by his side?

Song Ke also cast an envious glance: "Qu Tong, can you sell me one too?"

Fei Wenxing blinked his eyes expectantly as well.

Rong Yueqing joined in, batting her eyelashes: "I want one too, Prince Consort Sister."

Qu Tong rolled her eyes at them: "No more, I only had one extra."

"Alright then," they all withdrew their desires.

The food arrived, and since the farms on Luyi Star weren’t fully developed yet, most of the dishes at Drunken Star River were vegetarian.

But the price of the vegetarian dishes was no cheaper than meat.

The group chatted freely while they ate.

"The Alchemist Association must be fuming this time."

"Serves them right; I haven’t used their potions since anyway."

"Wonder where Miss Ali got so much Purified Moonlight Grass from?"

"I’m curious too. I thought Miss Ali wouldn’t be able to offer so many potions this time, and here she gave us such a pleasant surprise."

"Isn’t Elder Yuan the owner behind Miss Ali’s shop?"

"You guys still don’t know? Miss Ali is Elder Yuan’s apprentice; of course, she can concoct potions too."

"Do you think they’ll have as many potions for sale next month?"

"Don’t know, huh."

"Probably not."

Rong Yueqing nodded in agreement like a pecking hen: "I think Prince Consort Sister is right."
