Qin Hui felt a bit disappointed after seeing the information on the computer.
The data only contained the Sun family's business dealings and some company information, with no other details whatsoever.
"Never mind, I should rest first."
Qin Hui muttered to himself after closing the computer, then sat cross-legged on the bed to meditate.
It was known that martial artists basically didn't need sleep, and Qin Hui, having just broken through, needed time to consolidate his cultivation.
The night passed in silence. The next day, after Qin Hui made breakfast, he headed to the herbal medicine market, hoping for a stroke of good luck.
By the time Qin Hui arrived at the herb market, it was already past eight in the morning. As soon as the market opened, many herb vendors began their calls.
These vendors were selling wild herbs from the mountains to earn some quick money.
After Qin Hui browsed the herb market for a while, he felt a sense of disappointment. The herbs here were decent, but none were what he was looking for.
Qin Hui wanted herbs that could break through the human body's potential and limits, as only such herbs could benefit martial artists. These herbs were extremely rare, and Qin Hui was merely trying his luck.
As for pharmacies, there was no point in even considering them; only those mysterious organizations would possess such items.
"Young man, your flowers are quite vibrant. Are they medicinal herbs?"
A herb vendor looked at the flowers on the stall with some confusion. He had never seen such an herb before.
"Brother, people in our village say these flowers are quite magical, so I brought them to try. As for whether they are medicinal herbs, I'm not sure."
The dark-skinned young man scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed.
Although the villagers hyped them up as magical, Li Dazhuang had been there for half a day without anyone visiting his stall.
It was some female customers who came over to inquire about the price of the flowers, likely because they found them pretty. However, upon hearing the price, they all left.
"Alright then, I'll buy them to try out the effects. How much are your flowers?"
The vendor asked tentatively.
"A thousand each."
Li Dazhuang grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.
"What? A thousand each? Young man, these aren't even genuine medicinal herbs, and you're selling them so expensively. No wonder you haven't made any sales all day."
"Twenty yuan each, not a coin more."
The vendor's mouth was like a knife, cutting the price drastically.
"I can't, brother. Although these flowers don't have major effects, after eating them, I feel refreshed and full of energy."
Li Dazhuang gestured animatedly with his hands and feet to demonstrate.
"Heh, every medicine seller tells me the same thing."
The vendor sneered coldly.
"Brother, I brought these flowers from my village, and the travel expenses alone were quite a lot."
Li Dazhuang clearly didn't want to lose this customer and tried his best to persuade him. He had been setting up his stall for several days without any sales, and even the road management had chased him several times.
"Fine, thirty each. You only have ten, so that's three hundred yuan in total. No more."
The vendor still wouldn't budge. If it were any higher, he wouldn't be interested.
Upon hearing this price, Li Dazhuang froze. Just as he was hesitating, Qin Hui walked over curiously.
"I'll take all these flowers, at your original price."
Qin Hui's eyes lit up when he saw the flowers. Although these flowers couldn't directly help Qin Hui break through, they could provide indirect assistance. Regardless, Qin Hui wouldn't lose out by buying them.
"Really?"
Li Dazhuang's eyes lit up; he finally found someone who recognized their value.
"Kid, you're poaching my business. Do you even know what these flowers are?"
The vendor got agitated. Although he didn't recognize the flowers, since someone was bidding, he knew they were not ordinary.
"I don't know either. But if you want to buy them, you can. I don't mind."
Qin Hui didn't bother arguing with the vendor, shrugging his shoulders with a nonchalant expression.
Seeing this, the vendor hesitated. He feared Qin Hui was a stooge hired by Li Dazhuang, and if he fell for a trap, he would lose a lot.
"Hmph, since you want to buy them, I'll let you have them."
The vendor said, then turned and left.
"Brother, were what you said just now true?"
Li Dazhuang quickly asked. If it was true, his trip wouldn't be in vain.
"Of course, why would I lie to you? Where is your village? I want all of them."
Qin Hui very readily pulled out a wad of cash and handed it to Li Dazhuang.
As soon as the money was in hand, Li Dazhuang beamed with joy.
"Brother, if you want to come to our village to pick these flowers, you can. However, these flowers grow on the mountain. I can help you pick them, and you only need to pay half the price."
Seeing that business was coming his way, Li Dazhuang quickly said.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Qin Hui nodded readily. Since that village had the herbs he wanted, Qin Hui didn't mind going there; perhaps there would be unexpected gains.
Even if there were no other gains, these five-colored flowers were already quite good. Although their effects were ordinary, a large quantity could compensate for the difference.
When Qin Hui brought Li Dazhuang to his car, Li Dazhuang's eyes widened. He had never seen such a handsome car before, and he couldn't even recognize the emblem.
Qin Hui smiled faintly at this, saying nothing.
This car no longer held the same novelty for Qin Hui. His focus was now on cultivation.
After they got into the car, Qin Hui drove towards Li Dazhuang's village.
Qin Hui hadn't expected to have such a harvest today. It seemed this trip was not in vain.
Since the mountains in that village could support the growth of five-colored flowers, perhaps there were other mysterious places there.
"Brother, do you know this flower?"
Li Dazhuang asked with a face full of curiosity. After all, no one in the village recognized this flower, and even searching on the computer yielded no results about its species.
"This flower is called the Five-Colored Flower. For ordinary people, it indeed makes one feel refreshed, but that's all. I am a doctor. If this flower is mixed with a small amount of other herbs, its effects will be magnified tenfold."
Qin Hui explained patiently.
Qin Hui wasn't afraid of everyone becoming martial artists, as only he knew the formulas. Therefore, he had no worries.
"So that's how it is. No wonder we didn't recognize it."
Li Dazhuang didn't think much of it. Since the flowers were useless to him, he might as well sell them for more money.
"My name is Qin Hui. It would be easier to address me in the future."
Since there would be further business, Qin Hui wanted to build a better rapport with him.
"My name is Li Dazhuang. You can just call me Dazhuang."
Li Dazhuang replied with a simple and honest demeanor, grinning.
"Alright."
Qin Hui nodded slightly, his heart filled with anticipation for the mountain village.
Two hours later, the car drove into a small mountain village surrounded by mountains. No wonder Li Dazhuang had so many travel expenses; this small mountain village primarily had stone roads, and cars couldn't even drive in.
Reluctantly, Qin Hui had to leave his car at a villager's house, paying them two hundred yuan for safekeeping.
Finally, under Li Dazhuang's calls, they hitched a ride on a small black donkey towards the mountain village.
