Chapter 1252: A Simple Request
Su Chen just slept for a few hours and then got up to have breakfast with the girls.
Lin Ruoxue and the others had already heard about Lan Xinyi's father's situation from Du Hanbing and the others, so they all asked about it.
Su Chen didn't want them to worry, so he naturally said it wasn't a big problem.
The girls didn't suspect much and were relieved to hear him say that.
After breakfast, those who needed to go to work left, and Qi Meng and the others went back to their rooms to cultivate, while Su Chen drove out of the villa and headed towards the Myriad Medicines Hall.
"Mr. Su, why are you here?"
The shopkeeper of Myriad Medicines Hall was a bit surprised to see Su Chen and quickly said:
"The herbs you ordered last time are not ready yet!"
"That's not urgent, I have some herbs I need urgently now, please gather them as soon as possible!"
Su Chen didn't waste words, pulled out a sheet of paper, and handed it to the shopkeeper:
"No matter the price or cost, it's not an issue, the only requirement is it must be fast!"
"Alright! I'll do my best!"
The shopkeeper could see Su Chen was in a hurry, took a glance at the list, and said.
"I'm counting on you! Please let me know as soon as you have any news!"
Su Chen clasped his hands together in a gesture of thanks.
"You're welcome!"
The shopkeeper smiled and responded.
Su Chen then took his leave and drove off in another direction...
.....
After Su Chen left, the shopkeeper made another call.
"Miss, that young man came by again just now."
The shopkeeper reported:
"He brought another list, he seems very anxious!"
"Oh, in that case, don't sell those herbs on his list for now, and also send me a copy of it to review."
"Yes, Miss!"
The shopkeeper responded.
.....
Not long after, Su Chen parked his car in front of a villa area and got out.
Above the entrance were the prominent words—Tianxiang Villa!
Su Chen came here, of course, to find Qin Nishang, because he already knew that Qin Nishang was behind Tianyuan Auction House!
Su Chen thought about it and felt that among the people he knew, the only one likely to have an Alchemy Cauldron would probably be Qin Nishang!
He was reluctant to seek her help before as they only met a few times and weren't close; an Alchemy Cauldron is very valuable, and she might not be willing!
Even if she was willing, he didn't want to owe such a favor!
After all, he wasn't in a rush back then and could slowly find one!
But now, there's no choice. Lan Xinyi's father's condition can only be maintained for a month, and who knows how long it would take to find on his own!
The security personnel in these top-tier villas have sharp eyes and good memory. Since Su Chen had been here once before, he was allowed through after a few words!
Once inside, Su Chen headed directly to the villa halfway up the hill.
"Good morning, Miss Mu!"
As Su Chen walked into the courtyard, he saw Mu Yu in a long dress and greeted her with a smile.
"Mr. Su?!"
Mu Yu was stunned to see Su Chen as well!
Why did he come so early in the morning?
"Is your Miss home? I have some matters to discuss with her."
Su Chen said with a smile.
"She is, please wait a moment, I will inform her!"
Mu Yu quickly said, knowing how much Miss valued this person, she dared not delay!
After a short while, Mu Yu returned and said:
"Mr. Su, please come in!"
Then, she led Su Chen inside, up to a room on the second floor near the back.
"Mr. Su, please enter!"
Mu Yu said, opening the door.
Su Chen nodded and walked in, while Mu Yu didn't follow and left.
Once inside, he saw a woman in light silk, looking like she had just gotten up not long ago.
"Mr. Su, what brings you suddenly to my humble abode today?"
Qin Nishang asked with a smile.
Like Mu Yu, she found Su Chen's sudden visit rather curious!
"I've come to ask for Miss Qin's help with a matter."
Su Chen stated.
"Please, have a seat."
Qin Nishang motioned, then sat on a nearby sofa and asked with a smile:
"I wonder how I might assist Mr. Su?"
Su Chen also sat down and said:
"I'm looking for an Alchemy Cauldron, I wonder if Miss Qin can assist?"
An Alchemy Cauldron is indeed very precious, so asking directly might be inappropriate.
"An Alchemy Cauldron?"
Qin Nishang was a bit surprised by Su Chen's words, and couldn't help asking:
"What does Mr. Su need an Alchemy Cauldron for?"
"Miss Qin, what else could I need an Alchemy Cauldron for?"
Su Chen smirked.
"Alchemy?!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Nishang's eyes widened in astonishment!
"Yes."
Su Chen nodded:
"I urgently need to refine an elixir to save a life, but I'm missing an Alchemy Cauldron."
Hearing this, Qin Nishang's face was full of disbelief!
It's not that she didn't know Alchemy Cauldrons are for alchemy, she just didn't expect Su Chen would know how to perform alchemy!
Her shock, like Lan Minghe and his daughter, was due to the fact that alchemists were exceedingly rare in the Ancient Martial World!
And this man in front of her, so young, could he really perform alchemy?
"Mr. Su, are you joking?!"
Qin Nishang couldn't help but ask, still finding it hard to believe!
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
Su Chen said with a helpless smile.
Qin Nishang stared at him for a moment and realized he really didn't seem to be joking!
"Miss Qin, I know an Alchemy Cauldron is very valuable. If you have one or a way to find one, perhaps you could lend it to me. As for conditions, please feel free to mention them!"
Su Chen continued.
"The Alchemy Cauldron is not an issue, don't mention borrowing, I can give it to you outright! As for the terms..."
Qin Nishang smiled, paused for a moment, and said:
"Once you've refined the elixir, just give me one as well."
"How can I do that?"
Su Chen quickly said upon hearing this because such a request was hardly a request at all, let alone considering she was offering the Alchemy Cauldron freely!
How could Su Chen accept something as valuable as an Alchemy Cauldron without feeling embarrassed?!
"Alright, it's settled then!"
Qin Nishang chuckled unconcernedly:
"I see Mr. Su is a straightforward person, so don't refuse, besides, the Alchemy Cauldron can't serve its purpose with me!"
"Well then."
Since she put it that way, what could Su Chen say?
"Miss Qin, I'll remember this favor."
Su Chen said seriously, also eager to acquire an Alchemy Cauldron.
Just because someone is generous doesn't mean he should accept so lightly; this favor would have to be repaid in the future!
"Very well, Mr. Su, I'll remember what you said!"
Upon hearing Su Chen, Qin Nishang smiled slightly, the corners of her mouth curving upwards.
(ps: No updates at night, will continue tomorrow during the day!)
