Chapter 378 The Only True Master
"Brother, what happened?" Hu Sanqian asked hurriedly.

“I went to Old Pill King’s to buy pills before, but he was very aloof. When he heard that I wanted to buy pills, he wouldn’t sell me a single one. I don’t have much face with him, so Brother Tiger, you don’t need to consider my feelings,” Chen Guan said calmly.

After listening, Hu Sanqian turned to look at Manager Wang.

Shopkeeper Wang's face turned pale, and he quickly said, "It's a misunderstanding...it's all a misunderstanding...I didn't know this was your friend, Master Hu..."

"No...he's not my friend...he's my brother...my newly recognized half-brother..." Hu Sanqian was quite a character. He took a swig of wine and continued, "Go back now. From now on, Old Dan Wang will have to find his own way to get ginseng. My Hu School of ginseng will not sell a single ginseng to Old Dan Wang from today onwards."

"Master Tiger..." Manager Wang's face turned ashen, and he was in a hurry to say something.

"Don't make me say it a second time, or you won't be able to buy a single ginseng from the Tiger Sect, not only from the entire Changbai Mountain Secret Realm and Black City," Hu Sanqian said coldly.

Manager Wang dared not say another word, glared at Chen Guan resentfully, and left Tiger's courtyard in a daze.

"Brother Tiger, thank you so much. I'm sorry to have interrupted your business. How much ginseng did Old Dan Wang buy from you? I'll take his share. The price will be as he said, plus 50% more," Chen Guan said.

"If you say that, you're looking down on me. In this small corner of Changbai Mountain, I can't say anything else, but when it comes to how much ginseng I sell it for, I'm a man of my word. Don't worry, if I want to sell it, there are plenty of people who want to buy it. I don't need one old alchemist king."

Hu Sanqian said domineeringly, "Without the old alchemist king, I can still sell my ginseng as before. Without my ginseng, the old alchemist king will no longer be the old alchemist king."

Chen Guan was surprised that Hu Sanqian had such power. He thought to himself, "This Tiger Sect Grandmaster is really something. I underestimated him."

"Brother, you want to buy Qi-replenishing pills, right? I'll introduce you to someone. The pills he refines are far superior to those of the old Pill King. Not to mention, the rare and precious materials he uses to refine pills are all supplied by your older brother, they're all truly top-quality stuff." Hu Sanqian introduced Chen Guan to a pill-selling alchemist and told Chen Guan to mention his name when he went to buy the pills, saying that he was the one who sent him to buy the pills, otherwise the man wouldn't sell his pills to outsiders.

This time, Chen Guan was genuinely happy and drank with increasing gusto.

Taking advantage of his drunken state, Hu Sanqian taught Chen Guan the Tiger-like Fist. Not wanting to spoil the fun, Chen Guan also learned the fist technique.

That night, Chen Guan stayed in Hu Sanqian's courtyard, and the next day he took Fu Tianji away to find the alchemist.

The alchemist lived in a nearby city. After Chen Guan found him, he mentioned Hu Sanqian's name and received a letter from Hu Sanqian. Only then did the alchemist show Chen Guan his truly excellent products.

Chen Guan tried the medicine and found that the alchemist was indeed extraordinary. The pills he made were not only much more effective than those he had bought before, but also much cheaper.

Chen Guan bought over 20 million worth of various top-grade pills in one go. This was only because the alchemists had no more stock; otherwise, Chen Guan would have exchanged all his money for pills.

Seeing that Chen Guan was a man who valued medicine over money, and that he was not stingy with money as long as the pills were good, the alchemist added Chen Guan as a friend, saying that he would contact Chen Guan again after he had refined some good pills.

Chen Guan readily agreed, as he was worried about where to buy medicine.

Before leaving the Changbai Mountain Secret Realm, Chen Guan went to see Hu Sanqian again to thank him for introducing such a good alchemist.

Hu Sanqian also gave Chen Guan some medicinal wine, which was infused with rare and precious herbs that had been brewed for thousands of years, totaling more than a dozen jars. In addition, Hu Sanqian also gave Chen Guan a secret manual, telling him to study it when he had time, as it contained techniques from the Hu School.

Hu Sanqian's boldness made Chen Guan feel somewhat unsuited; he was used to fighting with others and hadn't encountered someone like him in a long time.

The fact that this Tiger Sect master was so kind to someone he had only met twice shows that he is indeed quite extraordinary. No wonder he was able to teach 100,000 disciples.

Chen Guan didn't say much. Words of thanks and gratitude were meaningless. Tiger was a trustworthy person, and he would have a chance to repay this favor in the future.

After leaving the Changbai Mountain Secret Realm, Chen Guan sent a message to Duan Shulin, telling him that he was leaving first and that they would meet again if there was a chance.

He originally thought that Duan Shulin would not be able to come out to see him, but when he was about to leave Black City, he saw Duan Shulin carrying large bags and small bags, followed by Duan Hualong, who was also carrying large bags and small bags. The two of them caught up with him, panting.

"Shulin, what's going on with you two brothers?" Chen Guan asked, looking at the two brothers with some surprise.

"These are local specialties for you, take them with you." Duan Shulin didn't waste any words and directly handed Chen Guan everything he and Duan Hualong had.

"How did your family let you out?" Chen Guan asked with a smile.

"It's because I heard you were friends with Tiger, and that you even got Tiger to cut off Old Danwang's supply of ginseng. The older generation in my family was afraid you'd whisper in Tiger's ear, so they let me out." Duan Shulin didn't hide anything, revealing all the scheming of the Duan family's elders, and then asked, "When did you become friends with someone like Tiger?"

"It was an unexpected encounter, perhaps it was fate." Chen Guan was somewhat surprised and asked, "Does Tiger have that much influence here? Even your Duan family has to give him face?"

"It's more than just big. Of all the rare and precious medicinal herbs in the Changbai Mountain Secret Realm, whether wild or cultivated, more than 70% are managed by the Tiger Sect. Among them, the proportion of old mountain ginseng is as high as 90%. In Changbai Mountain, Tiger is the only true master." Duan Shulin said, giving a thumbs up.

After returning to the Qilin Legion, Chen Guan locked himself in his room and instructed the guards not to let anyone in to disturb him.

He then summoned Rouge, Warring States, and the paper doll to guard him before finally immersing his consciousness in Huangni Island and taking out the large pot of Dream Butterfly.

Chen Guan used his spiritual power again to activate the Great Luo Dream Butterfly, and the flowers transformed into butterflies that fluttered around him.

Chen Guan stretched out his finger and carefully touched one of the butterflies that shimmered with purple light.

As if understanding his thoughts, the butterfly actually landed on his finger.

The next second, Chen Guan felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him, and the butterflies in front of him seemed to turn into purple bubbles, floating and swirling around him.

Soon, Chen Guan felt dizzy and fell asleep on the bed.
