God of Pets-Chapter 720: The Zhang Family’s Attitude

"What’s this?" Ji Nanhong looked at the bottle that Chen Guan pushed over, and asked with some confusion.

"An elixir, it’s good for your injuries," Chen Guan said casually.

"Ordinary elixirs are useless for injuries like mine." Ji Nanhong said, but still took the bottle.

"This one will definitely help a bit. Try it. Even if it doesn’t work, it won’t hurt," Chen Guan replied.

"Okay." Ji Nanhong agreed, poured out an elixir from the bottle, and was a bit surprised when she recognized it. "Isn’t this the Zhang Family’s Dragon Tiger Golden Pill? The Zhang Family hasn’t made much of this in recent years. It’s very rare on the market now, and the price keeps going up. Where did you get it?"

"I bought it from someone in the Zhang Family. It shouldn’t be fake. Don’t worry and take it," Chen Guan said with a smile.

Ji Nanhong looked at Chen Guan with a peculiar expression, thinking to herself, "It seems this guy isn’t being completely honest. He always claimed to cultivate discreetly outside, yet now he can buy the Dragon Tiger Golden Pill, and buy four of them at once. Such capability is not something a low-key cultivator can have. Someone with this kind of clout in the Celestial Court Army likely could only be my adoptive father, Ji Junzhang."

No matter how the elixir was acquired, Chen Guan indeed brought her such a precious elixir, making Ji Nanhong feel elated.

During this time, Chen Guan had been using the method of dual cultivation to mend her body, which had already greatly improved. Even without taking the Dragon Tiger Golden Pill, her body should have fully recovered in another month or two.

Ji Nanhong still took one, not knowing whether it was the effect of the elixir or a placebo effect, but she felt a warm sensation in her chest.

Zhang Chunman and Zhang Huacai finally found the recently returned Zhang Chunxiang. They were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

They didn’t know Zhang Chunxiang had asked them for the Dragon Tiger Golden Pills until Zhang Chunxiang had been missing for 24 hours. Then they realized something was wrong, and after comparing notes secretly, they discovered Zhang Chunxiang had taken three of their Dragon Tiger Golden Pills.

They were terrified—not for fear of losing the Dragon Tiger Golden Pills, but the fear that keeping them would bring disaster. Afraid Zhang Chunxiang was swindled, kidnapped, and the pills stolen before being silenced forever—truly a grave situation.

Had Zhang Chunxiang not returned quickly, the Zhang Family might have mobilized all resources to find her.

"Aunt, what are you doing here?" Zhang Chunxiang’s eyes twinkled as she spotted Ms. Xu. She walked up, holding Ms. Xu’s arm, trying to act coy.

"Don’t try that act, it won’t work. Hand the stuff over." Ms. Xu brushed off Zhang Chunxiang’s hand and reached out.

"What... I’m so tired... Ah... I need a bath and then sleep first..." Zhang Chunxiang played dumb.

"Believe it or not, if you walk out that door now, I’ll tell your father about the four Dragon Tiger Golden Pills that disappeared," Ms. Xu said coldly.

"Aunt... I know you’re the best... You won’t tell my dad, right..." Zhang Chunxiang ran over, holding Ms. Xu’s hand and pleading.

"That depends on your performance. You know, I’m always..."

Ms. Xu didn’t finish before Zhang Chunxiang took over with, "Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist—I know that."

"Then hurry up and spill," Ms. Xu glanced at her.

As Zhang Chunxiang had returned unscathed, Ms. Xu was already less angry.

Zhang Chunxiang had no choice but to recount how she owed Chen Guan a favor and exchanged for the Dragon Tiger Golden Pills to repay him.

"Oh, my silly girl, what kind of favor requires repaying with four Dragon Tiger Golden Pills?" Ms. Xu was enraged after hearing it.

"He didn’t just return a favor, he also gave some things," Zhang Chunxiang said, sticking out her tongue.

"What could he possibly give? Dragon Tiger Golden Pills are rare and their stocks are depleting," Ms. Xu retorted irritably.

She was now convinced that Chen Guan was a scoundrel, playing the affection card to swindle Zhang Chunxiang out of the Dragon Tiger Golden Pills, surely not offering anything worthy in return.

"Just some medicinal materials," Zhang Chunxiang said, lacking confidence. Usually, the better the heavenly and earthly treasures, the larger their size. Such a small package could hardly hold any precious materials and she hadn’t even checked inside.

She thought there wouldn’t be an issue, not expecting it to blow up.

But Ms. Xu, who now managed the accounts and medicinals in the Zhang Mansion, was much more knowledgeable than Zhang Chunxiang.

"Let me see." Ms. Xu pulled the backpack over, opened it directly, and poured all the contents onto the table.

With such a shabby package, not even professionally wrapped, all the herbs mixed together—how could they be quality medicinals? Genuine good herbs required special packaging to preserve their potency.

But once these herbs were poured onto the table, Ms. Xu only needed one glance. After a single glance, she widened her eyes, urgently picking up the herbs one by one for closer inspection.

"True Dragon Bone Fruit... the quality... Daluo Golden Immortal Root... this length..." Ms. Xu looked more and more astonished. These were precious heavenly and earthly treasures, hard to buy even with money.

Though these materials weren’t large, it’s because they barely grow. Such size takes thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Moreover, many of these things are exquisitely rare, and the Zhang Family had long been out of stock of some of these grades and ages.

In fact, it’s been ages since the Zhang Family saw anything with this quality and age.

These heavenly and earthly treasures were premium items left by Chen Guan, which even he hesitated to use himself, reserving them to feed Zhao Cai and Little Tiger. Providing Zhang Chunxiang with some reserve indeed aimed at recruiting her.

The combined value of these treasures far exceeded the price of four Dragon Tiger Golden Pills, and if considering costs, they were much more expensive than the materials used for four Dragon Tiger Golden Pills.

"Daughter, did you just say Chen Guan wants to recruit you to establish a regiment in the Celestial Pillar Treasure Extreme Profound Heaven?" Ms. Xu squinted her eyes.

"It’s just for fun..." Zhang Chunxiang cautiously said, "I heard our family has business conflicts with the Ancestral Court and it’s unpleasant now, so I thought we could irk the Ancestral Court a bit and that’s why I agreed."

"No... it can’t be just for fun... If you’re going to do it... you must do it big... all of you go... disrupt the Celestial Court Army’s forces there, and if not, at least drive them crazy," Ms. Xu said with a smile, watching Zhang Chunxiang. "Later, you tell Chen Guan that elixirs can be sold to him, but I’ll set the price, and he’ll understand."

"What about Father..." Zhang Chunxiang was overjoyed, not expecting it to be so smooth.

"Leave everything to me, you all just focus on making life miserable for the Celestial Court Army," Ms. Xu, taking charge, decided then and there.
