Yi Ling carefully retrieved five identical jade bottles from her robes, each containing the precious Nascent Advancement Concoction. She held them out to Qianru, who accepted them with a nod. With a composed demeanor, Qianru walked towards Chief Guan, her movements graceful yet purposeful.
She approached the table where Chief Guan stood, setting the jade bottles down with a soft clink. The room seemed to hold its breath as the valuable concoctions were laid out. Without missing a beat, Qianru extended her hand towards Chief Guan, who handed her the ten bank notes. These notes, representing an immense sum of money, were taken with an air of calm confidence. Qianru didn't wait for Chief Guan to verify them; she turned on her heel and walked back to Yi Ling, her steps measured and steady.
