Chapter 1174: Chapter 1168: Beauty Ointment

Everyone got up one after another, bidding farewell and leaving.

Master Mo had long used his old age as an excuse and left halfway through. Chu Beiqing, holding Rong Qiu, was also too sleepy to keep his eyes open.

"Papa, you take Danzi to rest first. I have something to discuss with Brother Jiang."

Xin Lin instructed.

Chu Beiqing rubbed his sleepy eyes, nodded obediently, and walked away, holding Rong Qiu.

Jiang Qing felt a slight stir in his heart, a bit of anticipation arising within.

Xin Lin had something to say to him?

"Heh~"

Xin Lin heard a cold laugh.

"Do you expect me to personally drive him away?"

"What’s the rush? I’ve got serious business to discuss."

Xin Lin replied peevishly, clutching the restless Sealing Spirit Talisman No.1 in her arms.

Since nightfall, this fellow had snorted coldly a few times.

She couldn’t understand why he was so resistant to Brother Jiang.

Other men, like Lu Yuan and Little Xinzhuo, didn’t get the same rejection from him.

Xin Lin mused to herself.

She cleared her throat.

"Brother Jiang, I have something to discuss with you."

Jiang Qing’s eyes brightened, gazing at Xin Lin’s delicate face.

Under the soft light, Xin Lin’s face appeared even more exceptionally beautiful.

Her porcelain-like cheeks, large eyes, black, lustrous pupils, and fluttering long lashes made one irresistibly want to pinch her cheeks.

Yet, this face belonged to a little girl.

Jiang Qing couldn’t help feeling a bit guilty.

If he took such a Xin Lin home, his parents probably wouldn’t approve...

"I have a kind of Honey Queen Beauty Ointment that I plan to sell at the Alchemy Hall."

Today, Xin Lin had inadvertently revealed the matter of the medicinal herbs. She also knew that from now on, the matter of the Spiritual Spring could not continue.

After all, once Jiang Qing left, the new person in charge of the Purple Cloud Alchemy Hall might not be trustworthy.

This meant cutting off a source of income for Xin Lin, so she had to find a new replacement, something more complex than the Spiritual Spring, but priced higher and more scarce.

Just today, during supper, Zuo Mingshang and Huang Xuerou praised Master Mo’s skin, saying it looked much better than before.

Master Mo happily said it was due to Xin Lin’s so-called membrane that was effective.

Master Mo’s so-called membrane was a beauty mask mixed with Golden Honey, egg whites, and part of the Jade Pure Spring.

Of course, talking about beauty masks to Longteng people was incomprehensible.

Zuo Mingshang and Huang Xuerou, two young girls in their teens, went crazy at the mention of beauty and chased after Xin Lin with endless questions.

Xin Lin had a sudden inspiration and thought of the Beauty Ointment.

"Is this what you wanted to talk to me about?"

Jiang Qing was taken aback, feeling a bit disappointed.

"Precisely this. I was thinking that besides the Purple Cloud Alchemy Hall, other Alchemy Halls could also sell this Beauty Ointment. Each is about the size of an Elixir Bottle and can be used about ten times. I’ll supply around a hundred bottles each month. The price is five thousand taels."

Xin Lin calculated based on the production of Golden Honey, excluding the proportions for the Spiritual Food Restaurant, the regular consumption at the School Clinic, and determined that the Hornet Monster could provide a maximum output of about one hundred bottles of Beauty Ointment.

As for the price, she set it based on Master Mo’s feedback.

To cultivators, five thousand taels isn’t much, and even some wealthy women can afford it.

A hundred bottles total fifty thousand taels, which, after deducting the Alchemy Hall’s expenses, is enough to offset the losses caused by not being able to sell the Spiritual Spring.

"This price isn’t low, equivalent to the price of Jade-grade Elixir Pills. Only in the capital cities of major countries might someone be able to buy it."

Jiang Qing pondered.
