Nine Evolutions of the True Spirit Chapter 259 – Bizarre Pellet Recipe

After entering the quiet room, Chilian Ying took a seat on the other empty table in the room.

Hong Ying and Wu Yan, being Lu Ping's subordinates, didn't sit down and instead stood beside the doors.

The Black Mountain Gang Lord, Qiao Zheng-Yan, ordered a cup of high-grade spirit tea for everyone. The room was silent as everyone enjoyed the tea.

Hong Ying and Wu Yan weren’t used to situations like this, and were anxious as they didn't know what to do. On the other table, Chilian Ying was still as unladylike as usual, and began sleeping on the table.

Qiao Zheng-Yan took the liberty of observing Lu Ping, giving him an appraisal in his head: modest but not servile, proud but not arrogant, a young man full of potential.

I apologize on their behalf, and also for not teaching them proper manners."

Since the gang lord had come personally to show his goodwill, Lu Ping naturally wouldn't be rude and gracefully accepted the apology, "It's all just a misunderstanding. Senior, it's all fine now."

Lu Ping didn't answer the question, and instead asked puzzlingly, "I've been wondering where exactly the spirit herbs are? Qian Yuan City is the largest city around, and with the coming celebration of the Northern League's centenary, there should be lots of cultivation resources gathered in the city market, yet how is it that I can't find any 1,000-year spirit herbs?"

As a boss of the underworld, Qiao Zheng-Yan naturally knew Lu Ping was asking to exchange information. Since he was the one asking for help, he naturally had to answer first.
