“The Cliff of Broken Hearts?”

Junior Sister Qing was puzzled. She thought for a moment. Then, she shook her head.

“Although the Cliff of Broken Hearts is good, their experience is not sufficient, and they may not be able to plant high -grade herbs. It’s not suitable.”

Bu Ye was not in a hurry. He asked about something else. “Has anyone chosen to plant herbs there lately?”

Junior Sister Qing said, “High-grade spirit herb seeds are rarely planted at the

Cliff of Broken Hearts, but it’s not unheard of. I heard that even Senior Brother

Lian sent the spirit herbs there once.”

Bu Ye walked to a nearby chair and sat down. “Any more details?”

“It wasn’t very complicated,” Junior Sister Qing said. “At that time, it was urgent, and they had no choice but to plant there. I heard it was pretty good, and the time was relatively short, with higher efficiency compared to other branches. But it was not based on experience. The Cliff of Broken Hearts actually suffered a loss. I think it was to pave the way for future cooperation, so they had to endure the loss. Unfortunately, the high-grade seeds from Senior Brother Lian were not sent there again. It seems they thought the risk was too great.”

“Alright.” Bu Ye nodded. “So, they have collaborated with our branch, and the results were alright, right?”

“Yes, that’s right, but…” Junior Sister Qing wanted to say more.

Bu Ye made a decision. “Let’s go with the Cliff of Broken Hearts for now. Before the collaboration, we need to figure out who is in charge of their Spirit Herb

Garden. ”

“Senior Brother Jiang Hao,” Junior Sister Qing said helplessly. “The person in charge of the Spirit Herb Garden of the Cliff of Broken Hearts was Senior Brother Jiang Hao, but I heard he is guarding the mountain gate for now and may not pay much attention to the garden. I heard this senior is quite capable. Under his management, the Spirit Herb Garden of the Cliff of Broken Hearts has been very stable. When other branches were attacked and damaged before, he was the first to see through it. The Cliff of Broken Hearts also has its advantages, but it’s a pity that he’s not around lately.”

“There is no rush. Go and ask around. It’s best to ask Jiang Hao directly if it’s possible. If he thinks it’s not suitable, find out why,” Bu Ye said.

‘Ask around?’ Junior Sister Qing was astounded.

She knew that Senior Brother Bu Ye had a good opinion of Jiang Hao, but she

needed to warn him anyway.

“Senior Brother, this time the germination of the spirit herbs is extremely important, and we should prioritize using a batch of young shoots. If the quality is inferior to other seniors, then our resource allocation here will be reduced. It may not matter much to us, but it could cause more trouble for you in the future. And we may be ridiculed by others. The Candlelight Pill Pavilion is divided into upper, middle, and lower courts, each with nine courts. The Primordial Spirit alchemists are in the middle court’s three courts, and every court’s resources require competition among disciples. You may not care about these resources, but the high-grade spirit herbs still need to be sent over to them. If the final high-grade young shoots are of inferior quality, I don’t mind. We can purchase them at a high price later. It won’t affect anything. As for the value of those spirit herbs, that is something to consider.”

“No problem. I have my own arrangements. Go and ask. If it’s suitable, we can establish long-term cooperation with them,” Bu Ye said.

“Long-term cooperation?” Junior Sister Qing was baffled. However, under her senior’s firm gaze, she had no choice but to nod in agreement.

“Cooperation?”

Jiang Hao, who was at the mountain gate, was stunned.

He never expected that the alchemists from the Candlelight Pill Pavilion would come knocking at their door during this time.

It was a junior who had come looking for him. She looked at him indignantly.

Qing Yu, a Foundation Establishment alchemist from the Candlelight Pill Pavilion, with a peak Foundation Establishment Realm.

“Yes.” Qing Yu nodded. “A batch of seeds has arrived, so I want to ask if the Cliff of Broken Hearts wants to plant them.”

“You may have got the wrong person,” Jiang Hao said somewhat helplessly. Whether to accept the offer would depend on the seniors handling the garden.

He couldn’t make a decision.

“My senior instructed me to ask you, Senior Brother Jiang, if you would accept the offer. After all, you are mostly in charge of the Spirit Herb Garden,” said Qing Yu.

Regardless of how she felt, things still needed to be done.

Jiang Hao looked somewhat awkwardly at Kong Hu.

“You can focus on your matters, Junior Brother Jiang,” the latter said gently.

Jiang Hao then stepped aside and began to ask for more details.

“What kind of spirit herbs did you mention, Junior Sister?”

Some spirit herbs couldn’t be planted and would result in significant losses.

“It’s high-grade spirit herb seeds. There are three types and planting them is not easy. We can provide a general guide, but the rest will depend on you. Of course, if you have any requirements, you can always bring them up,” Qing Yu said.

At first, Jiang Hao wasn’t very interested, but he was taken aback when he heard they were high-grade spirit herbs. “High-grade spirit herb seeds? How many are there?”

“A total of three hundred seeds,” Qing Yu said.

‘So many?’ Jiang Hao was shocked. This was the largest order he had ever received.

Currently, no one dared to plant at the Cliff of Broken Hearts for obvious reasons.

“May I ask which senior is willing to trust us with such a massive order?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.

“Senior Brother Bu Ye,” Qing Yu said. “Originally, we were going to choose the Law Enforcement Hall, but Senior Brother Bu Ye insisted on choosing the Cliff of Broken Hearts. He wanted to ask you if you’d like to give it a try. If the planting goes well this time, we can establish a long-term cooperation.”

‘Senior Brother Bu Ye?’ Jiang Hao recalled the previous match. He had sold the Raging Flame Spear to the same person. Was he that good?

He had given a discount, and the senior was placing such a large order in return.

“Senior Brother Jiang, do you know that this time, the spirit herbs are related to the next round of resource allocation? At this time, Senior Brother Bu Ye wants to hand over the order to you. You mustn’t let him down,” Junior Sister Qing Yu said.

Since everything was about to be settled, she needed to let this person know how important this was for them.

“I need to see the herbs first. I will look at all three kinds. I’ll give you an answer in three days. Will that be alright, Junior Sister?” Jiang Hao didn’t let happiness cloud his mind.

He needed to understand the situation before committing to it.

If it exceeded his capabilities, it would only cause trouble for himself.

Three hundred high-grade spirit herb seeds were not a small thing. If he messed this up, he couldn’t afford to pay them in spirit stones.

For him, it was a huge sum.

If he added up all the spirit stones he had earned, it still wouldn’t be enough.

Senior Brother Bu Ye indeed surprised him by sending him such an order at this time.

Moreover, he had addressed it specifically to him.

This order came just in time.

“Alright. I will also inform the Cliff of Broken Hearts and make arrangements in advance,” Qing Yu said.

Jiang Hao agreed with a nod.

In three days, he would appraise the three seeds, then he would be able to confirm whether he could grow them.

“Oh, I need to remind you that the latest time for blooming must be within six months. Otherwise, we won’t make it in time,” Qing Yu said as a reminder.

Six months was the deadline. Other Spirit Herb Gardens usually took about five months or less.

Earlier than that would be impossible.

She left three seeds and went back.

Senior Brother Jiang had been amiable and had promised that everything would be fine. Qing Yu didn’t feel as nervous and stressed as before.

But she couldn’t understand why Senior Brother Bu Ye insisted on choosing the Cliff of Broken Hearts.

If they failed, it would affect their alchemy advancement.

She sighed and stopped thinking about it. After all, she didn’t have an answer.

However, as soon as she returned to the Candlelight Pill Pavilion, she encountered a disciple with a similar cultivation realm to hers. This young woman was smiling at her mockingly.

“Senior Sister Qing, I heard that you chose the Cliff of Broken Hearts in the end.

Are you giving up in this competition? Really giving up without a fight?” Qing Yu snorted. ‘You just wait and see.”

“We’ll wait for your poor-quality high-grade young shoots,” said the woman with a smile.

Qing Yu turned and left.

However, she could hear laughter from behind..
