Chapter 124: Sha Wu Hen Powder ( 2 )

Chapter 124: Sha Wu Hen Powder ( 2 ) At first, Yao Zhi thought that this was some kind of deadly poison that was scentless, tasteless, and colorless due to the name.

But after she read the information, she realized that this powder was created by a 10th-grade alchemist, especially to solve pests in his herb garden.

1 jar of the powder costs 10,000 merit points and weighs 2 kilograms. Although the price was high, she only needed to mix a pinch of the powder into the well and use the water to water the crops.

The effect of the medicine would last for 5 days in the immortal realm, or equal to 5 months in the mortal realm. If it were used in the mortal realm, the effect would double, so the usage could be halved. 2 kilograms would be enough for her to save the entire kingdom from locust plagues.

Not only that, the powder not only didn’t harm the environment, but it also had the effect of nourishing the soil and crops. Even if it was consumed by mortals, they would only experience diarrhea as the impurities from their bodies were expelled. Afterwards, their health and body constitution would improve slightly.

Although the effect of this Sha Wu Hen powder was magical, it was useless for immortals. Therefore, there was a "90% discount" and "buy 10 get 1 free" tag on the item. With such a big discount, Yao Zhi only needed to pay 1,000 merit points for a jar.

Thinking about the locust plagues that often happened in ancient times, she gritted her teeth and decided to buy 10 jars at once. Since the price was high, a notification popped up on the screen.

"The total price is 10,000 merit points. Are you sure you want to buy this item?"

Although she felt pain in her pocket, Yao Zhi still clicked the confirm button. The moment her merit points were deducted, 11 jars of Sha Wu Hen powder appeared in her system storage.

Looking at the jars, she took out a leather pouch and filled it with Sha Wu Hen powder until it was almost full. She weighed the pouch and muttered, "It should be around 200 grams and enough for the entire province."

Thinking about the natural disaster in the south, she didn’t think that they still had any farmland left. All of the grain production would have to depend on the other areas this year.

Reaching this conclusion, she filled 9 more pouches, using up 1 jar of Sha Wu Hen powder.

When she was done, she put the pouches and the empty jar into her system storage. The jar was made of jade and could be sold for a lot of silver, so she would keep it as an emergency fund.

Soon after, the carriage stopped outside the General’s Mansion gate.

The guards held their spears when they saw an unfamiliar carriage parked in front of the gate. But when they saw the young man coming out of the carriage, their eyes lit up instantly.

Before Yao Zhi even walked over, they greeted her with broad smiles. "Young Master Lei."

Meeting their enthusiastic greetings, Yao Zhi cupped her fists and returned the greeting. "Greetings, Sirs."

"Young Master Lei, are you coming to visit Madam?" one of the guards asked.

Yao Zhi nodded and said with a hint of embarrassment, "I indeed have an urgent matter to discuss with Madam, but I haven’t sent any visiting cards yet. Can you please notify Steward Han?"

Hearing that it was an urgent matter, one of the guards quickly said, "Young Master Lei, please wait for a moment. I will inform Steward Han."

"I’m sorry to bother you, Sir. Thank you."

Seeing her polite gesture, the guard waved his hand and said, "It’s my duty."

After the guard went inside, Yao Zhi waited there in silence. She didn’t pry into the General’s Mansion’s situation like other guests, which improved the guards’ impression of her.

20 minutes later, the guard returned with Steward Han.

After Steward Han learned that Xue Ya’er earned a lot of money and obtained a lot of grain at a low price because of her help, everyone who worked in the General’s Mansion was ordered to treat Lei Feng with the utmost respect.

Now that she finally come for a visit regarding an important matter, Steward Han didn’t dare to make her wait for too long and came out to escort her personally.

"Young Master Lei, I’m sorry for making you wait. Madam has been waiting for you. Please come inside," Steward Han said as he cupped his fists and bowed slightly.

Yao Zhi didn’t avoid his bow and returned it while saying, "Steward Han, I hope I didn’t disturb Madam with my sudden visit."

"Not at all," Steward Han shook his head as he led her to the main hall.

When they arrived, Xue Ya’er was waiting for them. Seeing them coming, she smiled and stood up.

Standing 10 steps from her, Yao Zhi cupped her fists, bowed slightly, and said, "Greetings, Madam. I’m sorry for visiting without prior notice. I hope I didn’t disturb you."

Xue Ya’er raised her hand and replied, "Young Master Lei, no need for formalities. Please have a seat."

"Thank you, Madam."

After Yao Zhi took her seat, Chun Hua poured a cup of tea for her and said, "Young Master Lei, please have some tea."

"Thank you."

Due to their close distance, Chun Hua smelled a faint floral scent coming from the young master. She glanced at the pouch hanging on his belt and felt disappointed.

For a man to carry a scented pouch, it must have been given by his beloved.

Not knowing that a girl was feeling sad because of her, Yao Zhi took a sip of the tea before she said, "Madam, my visit today is to ask for your help."

Hearing this, Xue Ya’er said, "Young Master Lei, feel free to speak your mind. As long as this matter doesn’t go against morals and the law, I will definitely help you."
