Chapter 720 The Zhang Family's Attitude
"What's this?" Ji Nanhong asked, looking at the bottle Chen Guan pushed towards her.

"The pills will be good for your injuries," Chen Guan said casually.

"Ordinary pills won't work on my kind of injury," Ji Nanhong said, but she still took it.

“This will definitely be of some use. Let’s try it. It won’t hurt if it doesn’t work,” Chen Guan said.

"Okay." Ji Nanhong agreed, poured out the pills from a bottle, and after seeing the appearance of the pills clearly, she looked at Chen Guan with some surprise: "This is the Zhang family's Dragon Tiger Golden Pill, right? The Zhang family hasn't been producing this much in recent years, and it's very rare on the market now, with prices getting higher and higher. Where did you get it?"

"It's from the Zhang family, so it shouldn't be fake. You can eat it without worry," Chen Guan said with a smile.

Ji Nanhong looked at Chen Guan with a strange expression, thinking to herself, "It seems this guy is not honest. He always said he was cultivating in a low-key manner outside, but now he has actually been able to buy Dragon Tiger Golden Pills, and even four of them at once. Such power is not something a low-key cultivator can have. In the Heavenly Court Army, the only person with such influence is probably my adoptive father, Commander Ji."

Regardless of where the pills came from, Ji Nanhong felt a little giddy that Chen Guan had managed to get such precious pills for her.

During this time, Chen Guan has been using the dual cultivation method to repair her body. Ji Nanhong's body has actually improved a lot. Even without taking the Dragon Tiger Golden Pill, her body should be able to fully recover in another month or two.

Ji Nanhong still took one pill. She didn't know if it was the effect of the pill or a placebo effect, but she felt a warm feeling in her chest.

Zhang Chunman and Zhang Huacai finally found Zhang Chunxiang, who had just returned. They were both extremely anxious, like ants on a hot pan.

None of them knew that Zhang Chunxiang had asked them for the Dragon-Tiger Golden Pills. It wasn't until Zhang Chunxiang had been missing for twenty-four hours that they realized something was wrong. When they checked their accounts in private, they discovered that Zhang Chunxiang had taken three of their Dragon-Tiger Golden Pills.

This terrified them. It wasn't that they were reluctant to part with the Dragon-Tiger Golden Pills, but rather that they feared possessing such a treasure would bring trouble. They worried that Zhang Chunxiang might be tricked, kidnapped, and then killed to cover her tracks after the Dragon-Tiger Golden Pills were stolen—that would be a terrible situation.

If Zhang Chunxiang hadn't returned quickly enough, the Zhang family would probably have mobilized all their resources to find her.

"Auntie, what are you doing here?" Zhang Chunxiang's eyes lit up when she saw Xu Shi. She walked up to Xu Shi, grabbed her arm, and tried to act coquettishly.

"Don't try that, it won't work. Give me the things." Madam Xu pushed Zhang Chunxiang's hand away and held out her own.

"What... I'm so tired... Ah... I'm going to take a shower and go to sleep..." Zhang Chunxiang pretended not to understand.

"Believe it or not, if you walk out this door now, I'll tell your father that you took four Dragon Tiger Golden Pills and disappeared," Madam Xu said coldly.

"Auntie... I know you're the best... You won't tell my dad, right..." Zhang Chunxiang ran over, grabbed Xu's hand, and said coquettishly.

"That depends on your performance. You know, I've always been..."

Before Xu could finish speaking, Zhang Chunxiang interrupted her: "I know that those who confess will be treated leniently, and those who resist will be punished severely."

"If you know, why don't you just say it?" Madam Xu rolled her eyes at her.

Zhang Chunxiang's return unharmed had already calmed her down considerably.

Zhang Chunxiang had no choice but to recount how she owed Chen Guan a favor by selling him the Dragon-Tiger Golden Pill. "My silly girl, what kind of favor is this that you owed him, that it's worth giving up four Dragon-Tiger Golden Pills to repay?" Xu Shi was furious upon hearing this.

“They did give me something in return; it wasn’t just about repaying a favor,” Zhang Chunxiang said, sticking out her tongue.

"What can he give us? These days, Dragon Tiger Golden Pills are incredibly rare, one pill less and less." Madam Xu asked irritably.

She's now convinced that Chen Guan is a scumbag who played the emotional card and tricked Zhang Chunxiang out of the Dragon-Tiger Golden Elixir; he definitely wouldn't give her anything good in return.

"They're all medicinal materials," Zhang Chunxiang said without much confidence. Generally, the better the rare and precious herbs, the larger they are. How could such a small bag possibly contain any rare and precious herbs? She didn't even open it to look.

I thought nothing was wrong, but I didn't expect to be exposed.

Xu is the person in charge of the accounts and medicinal herbs in the Zhang household now, and she is much more professional than Zhang Chunxiang.

"Let me see." Xu grabbed the backpack, opened it, and dumped its contents onto the table.

It's in such a shabby package, without even professional packaging, with all the herbs mixed together. What kind of good herbs could they be? Really good herbs must be packaged in special way to preserve their medicinal properties.

But after all the medicinal herbs were poured onto the table, Madam Xu glanced at them, and in that one glance, her eyes widened suddenly. She hurriedly picked up the herbs and examined them carefully, one by one.

“True Dragon Bone Fruit…this quality…Great Luo Golden Immortal Root…this length…” Xu’s expression grew increasingly shocked; these were rare and precious materials that even money could hardly buy.

Although these rare and precious materials are not very large, that's because they are inherently difficult to grow. For one of these sizes, it would take tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years to grow to this size.

Moreover, many of these items are rare treasures that are impossible to buy. The Zhang family has been out of stock of several of them for a long time due to their quality and age.

In fact, the Zhang family hadn't seen anything of this quality and age in a long time.

These rare and precious herbs are all top-quality items left behind by Chen Guan. He himself is reluctant to eat them now, and usually feeds some to Zhao Cai and Xiao Hu Zai. He even has to be careful with the amount. The fact that he was able to share some of these stored goods with Zhang Chunxiang shows that he really hopes to recruit her into his group.

The combined value of these rare and precious materials far exceeds the selling price of four Dragon-Tiger Golden Pills. This refers to the selling price; if the cost price is taken into account, it is much more expensive than the materials used in the four Dragon-Tiger Golden Pills.

"Daughter, what did you just say? This Chen Guan wants to recruit you to establish a legion in Tianzhu Baoji Xuantian?" Madam Xu narrowed her eyes.

“It was just a hobby…” Zhang Chunxiang said cautiously, “I heard that our family has some business friction with Zuting and things are not going well right now. I was thinking of making things difficult for Zuting, so I agreed to his request.”

“No…it can’t be just a hobby…If we’re going to do it…we have to do something big…all of you go…it would be best if you could destroy the Heavenly Court Army’s forces there, or at least disgust them to death.” Xu’s eyes flickered, and she looked at Zhang Chunxiang with a smile, saying, “Later, tell that kid Chen Guan that the pills can be sold to him, but I will set the price, and he will understand.”

"Father's side..." Zhang Chunxiang was overjoyed, she hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.

"I'll take care of everything. You just need to make things really annoying for the Heavenly Court army." Madam Xu made the decision directly, and that's how things were settled.
