The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 86 - 85. Processed Exquisite Plant

As an assassin character, Tang Shu unavoidably had many more fight scenes.

However, Director Xie’s go-to action director became completely idle over these two days, turning into an invisible man with nothing to do.

Zhang Yu was also helpless. After a few short encounters, he sadly realized a fact—that the moves he designed were sometimes not as exquisite as Tang Shu’s.

What’s going on here?

Feeling his job being stolen, a resentful Zhang Yu could only retreat to a corner and vent his frustrations to his friends through his mobile phone.

[Zhang Yu]: "Bros, I’ve been utterly overshadowed by someone’s strength!!!"

Sorry, I’ve disgraced our fellow brothers.

***

In the East District of the Imperial Capital, within an ancient courtyard, an old man arrived, cradling a flowerpot in his hands.

"Qin Xian, I’ve come to see you!"

Old Master Xie’s voice arrived before he did, directly calling out to his old buddy who was leisurely sipping tea under the tree.

Master Qin set down his teacup and glanced toward the entrance, his casual gaze pausing momentarily on the plant in his friend’s embrace. His calm eyes suddenly burst with boundless surprise.

"Is that an Exquisite Plant?!"

This thing was truly rare, let alone one that was fresh with vigorous vitality!

Master Qin put down the fan in his right hand and sped over to his friend as if carried by the winds, his creased eyes fixating on the plant in the flowerpot, unable to look away.

"Last time you mentioned you had some fresh Exquisite Plant, I thought you were joking. Did you actually mean it?!"

He knew that the climate of the Imperial Capital was entirely unsuitable for the growth of the Exquisite Plant, and he swore the one being transplanted before him couldn’t have been there for more than five days.

If it wasn’t processed soon, this Exquisite Plant would start to wither in two or three days due to the unsuitable environment.

Seeing a mix of surprise and envy in his old friend’s eyes, Old Master Xie straightened his back, placing the flowerpot on the square table where his friend had been drinking tea.

Sharing in the glory.

"How is it? Isn’t the condition particularly good? From now on, whatever amount of Exquisite Plant you want, I can bring it for you. As for the sources... that’s a business secret!"

Heh, a business secret?!

Master Qin’s eyes suddenly widened, clearly disbelieving these words.

"It’s different for you running a medicine shop; you’ve got your own sources, eh? But saying you could provide as much Exquisite Plant as one wants, that’s got to be a lie, right?"

"It’s no lie! This one’s for you, and in a few days, I’ll bring you two more pots, guaranteed to be an eye-opener for you!"

Old Master Xie was quite generous, eliciting a sharp intake of breath from his old friend.

"Hiss—"

When did the Exquisite Plant, hard to buy even with a fortune, start to be described as common as cabbages?

Master Qin narrowed his eyes and scrutinized his friend closely, noting that his expression bore no sign of dishonesty, and thus believing him somewhat.

"Did you find a place where Exquisite Plants are grown in large quantities?"

After much thought, that was the only possibility.

"Ah, I can’t discuss that—I’ve come to discuss the Exquisite Plant Processing Technique with you."

Old Master Xie sat down and took out two small glass bottles from his person.

"Old Qin, take a look at the Exquisite Plant I’ve processed these past few days. Isn’t its medicinal property better than before?"

Master Qin took them interestedly and examined them closely, indeed finding that the medicinal properties of these two bottles of Exquisite Plant were superior.

"This medicinal property... it’s improved by more than ten percent, hasn’t it?"

Old Master Xie raised three fingers, "At least thirty percent!"

Master Qin drew in another sharp breath and remembered the few A4 sheets he had sent out a few days earlier, a guess forming in his mind.

"Did you process these by following that young friend’s methods from the internet?"
