Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
MTI 134 - Wedding Gifts

The dinner at the Chu merchant family residence became even more festive due to the arrival of their besan candidates. Yao Han had been the main topic of conversation for a while.

Chu Zi and his family members often praised Yao Han to the point that Xu Yin felt it was too much. Were it not for Yao Han, he had already thrown a piercing sentence because the Chu merchant family was trying to curry favor aka taking the good side of Hao Han.

When meeting and getting acquainted with Chu Fu's future wife named Jia Lin, he, Yao Han understood the reason behind the stubbornness of Chu Zi's second child wanting to continue the wedding even though his family members were sick and had not recovered before being treated by him.

You could say, Jia Lin has an above average level according to most people, especially the girl has a personality like a woman from a respectable class and her family background is rich.

Yao Han did not want to assume any ugly, but it had crossed his mind that Chu Fu was eager to marry Jia Lin because of her facial beauty or her family background.

The Jia family itself has a fairly successful business in the culinary field. They have the largest and best restaurant in the city that Yao Han currently resides in, and still have a kinship relationship with the mayor. Jia Wu is still a cousin to the mayor.

Moreover, Jia Wu and his daughter, Jia Lin were among the cultivators. Jia Wu practices in the fourth level of the Basic Realm, while Jia Lin practices in the first level of the Basic Realm.

"Tabib Yao, you are an Alchemist, aren't you? Can we buy pills from you?" Jia Wu asked politely. She was initially scared of Yao Han's identity, but due to Yao Han's friendly nature she became calmer.

"Why not? Of course you can. What pill does Uncle Jia want to buy from me?" Yao Han smiled faintly.

"Hm, considering that I don't have many spirit stones, it's better that I buy the Qi Gatherer Pill alone to raise the practice."

"Oh, Uncle Jia doesn't need to worry about spirit stones. Uncle Jia can pay me with gold coins."

Who heard that was shocked, because Yao Han was willing to accept a gold coin that was not too valuable compared to spirit stones.

"Are you too kind or stupid? Why did you offer to have the pills you were selling bought with gold coins?" Xu Yin commented scathingly, not out of thought with Yao Han's mindset.

Jia Wu and the others had the same astonishment as Xu Yin, but they were not as brave as the girl who could say spicy to Yao Han.

Yao Han was not offended at all, then glanced at Xu Yin, "Aren't I the one selling the pills? Why do you protest me if I want to be paid with gold coins or not?"

Xu Yin snorted in annoyance. Then Yao Han's attention turned back to Jia Wu, "How is Uncle Jia?"

"Ehem, look. I'm grateful that Physician Yao received the payment with the gold coins, but I want to know the original price of your Qi Gatherer Pill."

Generally this one pill sold one spirit stone per grain and it was for normal quality. While Yao Han was selling a perfect quality pill for ten spirit stones per pill grain or five to ten times cheaper than others would probably sell.

'It's stupid.' Xu Yin who heard the overpriced price of the perfect quality pill that Yao Han was about to sell sneered inwardly.

Jia Wu smiled bitterly upon hearing the price of ten spirit stones or roughly equivalent to five hundred gold coins. Just one pill could drain his treasure so much.

"Uncle Jia can buy one pill for the price of one gold coin. I don't have a problem."

Jia Wu almost choked, "Tabib Yao, did I mishear? You sure?"

While Jia Wu and the others were shocked, Xu Yin looked at Yao Han like the most stupid person in the world.

"Of course sure. Uncle bought it or not?"

Feeling Yao Han was about to retract his kindhearted offer, Jia Wu hurriedly said he wanted to buy pills. Jia Wu's actions were then followed by Chu Zi, he also needed resources for his family.

If not for Yao Han's kindness of selling pills at a cheap price and willing to be paid in gold coins, they could only buy at most five pills.

Yao Han grinned broadly receiving the box containing the gold coins, while Xu Yin beside him frowned. Although it was not him who sold the pills, Xu Yin felt a little unacceptable to any cultivator willing to exchange precious pills for gold coins.

Both Chu Zi and Jia Wu were sculpting while inspecting the pill bottle, all of its contents were pills that emitted a strong medicinal light and aroma.

Yao Han volunteered to inspect as well as eliminate the bodily toxins on the Chu and Jia families that they immediately received.

"I've never felt my body this light..."

"You're right candidate besan, this is all thanks to Physician Yao."

Chu Zi and Jia Wu laughed loosely as they felt their bodies were much healthier and stronger after Yao Han used the Poison God Technique on them, so their practice journey was smoother.

"By the way, since Brother Chu Fu is getting married, I want to give you a wedding present early."

Yao Han's words surprised Chu Fu, but not yet had the youth respond, Yao Han had already taken out two boxes and two bags of cloth.

Yao Han explained inside this box were bottles containing Longevity Pills, Vitality Pills, and fragrances made from Blue Lotus Flower extracts, while the cloth bag contained some Blue Lotus Flowers.

The atmosphere in the room was suddenly silent, and all the attention was directed towards Yao Han with a stunned look.

"Is there something wrong with my words?"

Chu Fu cleared his throat softly, "Tabib Yao, you coming to our wedding alone is already an honor, there is no need to give us a wedding present."

"Please don't hesitate, I'll be sad if you refuse."

"Tabib Yao, your gift is amazing. We dare not accept such a big gift." Chu Zi said, "I haven't rewarded you for helping our family anyway."

"Uncle Chu, do you think I helped your family out of expecting something in return?" Yao Han smiled faintly, "If Uncle thinks so, I'm very disappointed."

Chu Zi was suddenly scared, his face paled, and broke out in a cold sweat, feeling that he had just said a sentence that offended Yao Han.

"Tabib Yao, you misunderstood. I. i..." Not finding a suitable sentence, Chu Zi let out a long sigh, "I'm sorry, Physician Yao. That's not what I said before."
