Chapter 9 Crystal Musk Deer, Year Soul Beast
Su Qing nodded.
Lin Yi also made him a cup.
Su Qing took the cup and took a sip, his brows immediately furrowing—not because it tasted bad, but because it surprised him greatly.
He closed his eyes and sensed it for a while, then opened them, his expression becoming very serious: "Boss Lin, this golden chrysanthemum of yours... is no ordinary thing."
He put down his cup, walked over to Lin Yi, and lowered his voice, saying, "Although I'm a ceramic artist, my father is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. I've been exposed to it since I was a child, so I know a little about medicinal herbs. The tea you brewed with chrysanthemum can instantly relieve fatigue and invigorate the spirit, and it also has a warm and soothing sensation that circulates in the body—this is something that ordinary flower tea can't do."
Lin Yi looked at Su Qing with some surprise.
I never expected this ceramics master to have this skill.
Su Qing then asked, "Boss Lin, are you selling these chrysanthemums?"
Xia Tian, who was standing nearby, immediately perked up her ears upon hearing this.
She remembered very clearly that the royal jelly that cost 70 yuan per kilogram was also purchased after being appraised by this Teacher Su.
Now, Teacher Su has taken a fancy to these golden chrysanthemums again?
Lin Yi thought for a moment and nodded: "We can sell them. However, the yield of these golden chrysanthemums is extremely low; only a few blooms are produced each year."
This is the truth.
A complete version of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum requires 1000 points of realism to materialize, and 1000 points of realism is roughly equivalent to 10 likes. Although he can now accumulate realism much faster by riding the wave of popularity, it's not unlimited.
Su Qing pondered for a moment, then held up one finger: "A complete flower, 80. Boss Lin, are you satisfied with this price?"
Xia Tian almost dropped the cup in her hand.
80?
A flower?
Her live stream was in an uproar.
"80 for a single flower???"
"Holy crap, is this another shill?"
"Wait, I think I know this middle-aged man... I looked him up on Baidu, he's Su Qing, a national-level master of arts and crafts, one of his paintings sold for 3.5 million yuan..."
"It's that Teacher Su again! He was the one who bought the honey that cost 70 yuan per kilogram last time!"
"I checked, Su Qing is the vice chairman of the China Ceramic Artists Association, and his works are collected by the British Museum... It's impossible for such a big shot to be a shill."
"So that flower is really worth 80?"
Xia Tian also realized what was happening and quickly said to the live stream audience, "You can all check Teacher Su's identity yourselves. He wouldn't be a shill for someone. This chrysanthemum... might really be worth the price."
Ignoring the noise in the live stream, Su Qing continued speaking to Lin Yi: "Boss Lin, I felt it as soon as I took that sip. This chrysanthemum has a very mild medicinal effect, but it's extremely potent. It should have miraculous effects on regulating the body and repairing old injuries. The price of 80 is an estimate I made based on its effects and my own experience. If you think it's too low, we can discuss it further."
Lin Yi waved his hand: "No need to negotiate, it's 80. But I'll say it again, I only sell to those who are destined to find it. Since Teacher Su recognizes its value, then we are destined to meet."
He turned and went into the inner room, pretended to stay there for a while, and then came out carrying a wooden box.
The box was lined with velvet, and on top lay the complete Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. Its layers of golden petals shone with a warm luster under the light, and a delicate medicinal fragrance filled the air.
Su Qing took the box and examined it carefully, her eyes filled with amazement.
"Good stuff. Boss Lin, I'll transfer the money to the previous account."
"OK."
The transaction is complete.
Xia Tian's live stream room completely exploded.
80 yuan for a single flower, and it was sold just like that? Not even a bargain?
"I'm dumbfounded."
"Is this the world of the rich?"
"Xia Tian, could you ask the boss if they sell the flower tea to customers? I'd like to try what tea made from a flower that costs 80 yuan a piece tastes like."
"I want to drink too! Even if I can't afford a whole flower, a cup would be great!"
Seeing the comments, Xia Tian's eyes lit up, and she asked Lin Yi, "Boss, can I buy a few cups of that flower tea you just brewed? My viewers all want to try it."
Lin Yi thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, 500 per cup."
Anyway, one petal can make dozens of cups, diluted more than a hundred times, which is just right for the average person. Selling it for 500 yuan a cup is neither outrageously expensive nor too expensive, and you can still make a considerable profit.
Xia Tian immediately announced to the live stream: "Everyone heard that, 500 yuan a cup! That's my fan giveaway for today—I'll be drawing 50 lucky fans to each receive a cup of chrysanthemum tea made with 80 yuan worth of ingredients!"
The live stream chat instantly went wild.
The comments were so numerous that I couldn't even see them clearly.
Xiao Mei muttered quietly beside her, "Xia Tian, 500 yuan a cup, that's 25,000 yuan for 50 people, you're really bleeding money out of your pocket..."
Xia Tian laughed: "What's 25,000? It's worth it to let fans taste flower tea that costs 800,000 per flower."
......
At night, Lin Yi lay in bed and checked the system.
After all the consumption and gains during the day, the authenticity score still has over 1100 left.
There is still a considerable gap between the required 10000 accuracy points and the second image of the transformed Shenghun Village.
But he wasn't in a hurry.
Xia Tian, the big internet celebrity, is here. Tomorrow, another 50 of her fans will be coming. There will be plenty of material. Just shoot a few videos and post them on Kuaishou, and you'll gain another wave of authenticity.
Afu had somehow slipped into his room again, sprawled out on his bedside, and was fast asleep.
Lin Yi looked at the increasingly clever dog and couldn't help but smile.
In just a few days, he went from being a struggling guesthouse owner to someone with two VIP clients worth millions, a social media influencer with 800 million followers who would come to his door, and someone who could earn 80 yuan just by selling a flower.
This system is absolutely outrageous.
He turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Tomorrow, even more things await him.
......
The next morning, Lin Yi was awakened by a series of urgent barks from a dog.
Afu is not in the room.
The call came from the direction of the old house behind the guesthouse—the old Lin family house, where Grandpa Lin Dehou now lives alone, and the cellar still stores homemade rice wine.
Lin Yi immediately rolled out of bed, put on his clothes, and rushed outside.
Afu is no ordinary dog anymore. After consuming five petals of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, its physique and intelligence have greatly improved. Anything that could make it bark like this must be no small matter.
When he arrived at the old house, he saw a scene that surprised him.
Afu stood blocking the entrance to the backyard of the old house, its fur bristling, teeth bared, and a low growl emanating from its throat. Opposite it were two men in camouflage, one lean and the other muscular, both carrying hunting nets and ropes.
Behind Afu, hiding an animal that Lin Yi had never seen before.
That was a fawn.
Its entire body is snow-white, and its fur has a subtle sheen like the finest silk. Its eyes are light gold, and it has a pair of small, not yet fully grown horns on its head, the tips of which faintly shimmer with a crystal-like light.
The system notification sounded suddenly at this moment:
"Ding! System Manifestation Detected: Crystal Musk Deer (Juvenile Stage, 100-Year Soul Beast). This soul beast randomly manifested in the back mountain area yesterday while the host was watching 'Douluo Continent.' It is a rare soul beast from the Star Dou Great Forest of Douluo Continent. Its musk has extremely high medicinal value and soul power nourishing effect."
