Chapter 119 – Classic misandry
Chapter 119 – Classic misandry
"Tang Yu, brother."
Seeing Tang Yu arrive, Jiang Xiaoyue cheerfully waved her hand and ran over, linking her arm with his as she asked.
"Why do you need so many strange herbs this time? Even my family's stockpile isn't enough for you."
"For alchemy, of course."
Tang Yu didn't hide anything from Jiang Xiaoyue. He patted her head with a smile and asked, "Want to learn?"
"Alchemy? Of course, I do." Jiang Xiaoyue widened her eyes and nodded vigorously.
Recently, she had already absorbed more than half of the Qing Nang Tian Jing medical skills she learned from Tang Yu last time.
And alchemy, without a doubt, is the most challenging part of the Qing Nang Tian Jing, requiring attention to countless details.
If she could master it, it would greatly enhance her medical skills.
"Alright, I'll teach you later."
Tang Yu had nothing to hide from Jiang Xiaoyue, having watched her grow up like a little sister.
After chatting for a bit at the entrance, they walked into the Chen Family's house.
When they entered, Grandpa Chen was already sitting inside, drinking tea and waiting.
Seeing Tang Yu, Grandpa Chen smiled and greeted, "Young Master Tang is here."
"Grandpa Chen, long time no see. Thank you for your trouble this time. I wish you longevity as enduring as the southern mountains and happiness as vast as the eastern seas."
"Why so polite? No matter how sweet your words, there won't be any discounts."
"Haha, for Xiaoyue's sake, an 80% discount might be considered."
"Get out of here, your family is so rich, yet you're still stingy with an old man."
After some banter, both of them burst into laughter.
Though Grandpa Chen joked, he wasn't lenient when it came to charging the wealthy.
After having the herbs Tang Yu needed brought up, he handed the bill to Tang Yu with a smile.
Tang Yu glanced at it, and goodness, it was nearly fifty million in total.
The most expensive was the century-old snow ginseng, worth thirty million alone.
But to Tang Yu, this amount was nothing.
Compared to the Nine Revolutions Pill, what was money?
He had previously swindled nearly ten billion from Lu Junzhuo, enough to last him a long time.
After paying, Tang Yu began to check the herbs one by one.
The Nine Revolutions Pill required a total of thirty-six ingredients, and after checking, Tang Yu found that the most crucial one was missing.
"Grandpa Chen, where's the century-old snow ginseng?"
"The century-old snow ginseng will take two more days to arrive. I've arranged for it to be sent from the Changbai Mountains; it's quite hard to find these days," Grandpa Chen replied with a smile.
"Alright, please keep an eye out for it in the future. I'll need it whenever it's available."
Tang Yu wasn't in a rush for those two days.
Her impression of Tang Yu had plummeted.
The Yang family and the Tang family had some business dealings, but they were only small transactions worth billions, so there wasn't much of a relationship.
She ignored Tang Yu and walked over to Grandpa Chen, asking, "Mr. Chen, I need some rare herbs. Here's a list; please get them as soon as possible. I'm willing to pay double the market price."
With that, she handed a piece of paper to Grandpa Chen.
Grandpa Chen, being someone who loved money, was delighted to see the God of Wealth visiting. His eyes squinted with joy as he quickly took the list and said, "How could I refuse such a distinguished guest?"
As he reached for the list, their fingers touched briefly.
Yang Zhilan quickly withdrew her hand as if electrocuted, releasing the list.
Immediately, small red bumps appeared on her hand, as if she were having an allergic reaction.
Standing nearby, Tang Yu recalled the original plot after witnessing this scene.
In the original plot, Yang Zhilan was also one of the Dragon King's harem.
However, her appearance was slightly later.
Because the Dragon King returned to China to show off, he had to level up and change maps step by step.
After finishing in Suzhou and Hangzhou, the novice village, his next destination was Pearl City, known as the Oriental Pearl.
And a woman as outstanding as Yang Zhilan was naturally arranged by the lousy author to be in the Dragon King's harem.
"Shitty System, spoil the upcoming plot for me."
Tang Yu affectionately called out to the system in his mind.
"Beep, spoiler failed... just kidding, spoiler completed."
The shitty system deliberately paused halfway, giving Tang Yu a scare, thinking it was going to mess with him again.
Fortunately, the system functioned normally this time, spoiling the plot for Tang Yu.
After the spoiler, Tang Yu finally understood why there had been no movement from Lin Fan for the past week.
It turned out this guy had suffered a loss and ran off to Pearl City.
This time, he was targeting the Yang family in Pearl City.
The current head of the Yang family, Yang Guofeng, had a strange illness, with a significant problem in his private area.
For years, he had been seeking renowned doctors for treatment.
This included Old Divine Doctor Jiang, but he had refused.
Upon learning of this, Lin Fan took the initiative to offer treatment.
After curing Yang Guofeng and gaining the Yang family's trust, his next target was Yang Zhilan.
Yang Zhilan had merely touched Grandpa Chen's finger, and her skin started to react.
This was a condition known as androphobia.
Of course, this androphobia was different from what some women on the internet had.
Those women despised men who couldn't benefit them and weren't willing to kneel down as simps.
If it were a handsome and wealthy man, their condition would immediately improve.
