Still need to work hard!

Seeing his deflated dantian, Henry Shaw gave a wry smile. If it weren’t for the fact that there were quite a few energy stones in the village, he really wouldn’t dare to expend so much.

Stephen Clark’s people had already contacted the township’s purchasing point, and Henry Shaw soon arrived at the rented location.

As soon as he got there, two young men came out to greet him.

“Boss Shang, right?” The leading young man called out from afar.

“Are you Howard Grant?”

“Yes, yes, Young Clark sent me. This is the warehouse we just rented. Take a look and see if it works. If not, we can find another place.”

The other young man, seeing Henry Shaw’s gaze, said, “Hello, Boss Shang, my name is James Summers.”

“This place looks like it used to be a distillery?” Noticing the signboard that hadn’t been taken down, Henry Shaw asked.

Howard Grant quickly replied, “It was a small distillery in the township that went bankrupt. We’ve fixed up the inside a bit, so there’s no problem storing honeysuckle here.”

Henry Shaw took a sniff; the smell of alcohol was long gone, and he understood that this factory had probably collapsed and been abandoned for a while.

Everyone went inside to check out the place. Henry Shaw was satisfied and said, “Alright, this place will do. Hang a sign at the entrance so people can find it.”

“We’re working on it. It should be up today.”

Only then did Henry Shaw breathe a sigh of relief.

Thinking for a moment, Henry Shaw remembered there was some kind of faction in the township. He figured Samuel Reed and his group were working for this faction, so he’d have to be careful in the future.

“Boss Shang, this room is specially prepared for you. Young Clark said you’d be coming to the township often, so we tidied up a room for you to stay in. Take a look and see if you like the setup?” Howard Grant was quite attentive, leading Henry Shaw to a spot inside the factory. When he opened the door, the room was nicely arranged, with all kinds of household amenities.

That Stephen Clark!

Henry Shaw secretly praised him—this guy really pays attention to detail.

“Alright, I’ll take a rest. You guys go ahead with your work.”

After running such a long mountain road using internal energy, Henry Shaw wanted to carefully check the changes in his dantian, so he sent the two away.

After closing the door, Henry Shaw focused his attention on his dantian.

With less internal energy, Henry Shaw found he could see the condition of his dantian in more detail.

Upon closer inspection, Henry Shaw made a new discovery: golden threads were continuously flowing into his dantian.

These were all benevolent energy!

At this point, Henry Shaw had already started calling the golden airflow “benevolent energy.”

It was very fine, but there was a lot of it!

Purchasing had started in all the villages!

Henry Shaw understood that as his honeysuckle purchasing operations expanded in each village, many villagers would benefit. As long as they benefited, whether they acknowledged it or not, he would receive a trace of benevolent energy.

Looking again at the cracks in his dantian, Henry Shaw was pleasantly surprised to find that a few more cracks had disappeared.

Several short cracks had been repaired!

It was obvious that the speed of his dantian’s recovery was accelerating.

It seemed he had truly found a way to repair the cracks in his dantian!

Watching the continuous influx of benevolent energy, Henry Shaw took out two energy stones and began cultivating again.

Although everything was progressing smoothly, after learning that there were people manipulating the honeysuckle market at both the county and township levels, Henry Shaw didn’t dare let his guard down. He knew that whether he could resolve these troubles would be the key. If he couldn’t, all his efforts would be in vain.

A large amount of internal energy was being generated, and Henry Shaw had already entered a meditative state.

Chapter 011: It’s Too Popular

“This time you carried fifty kilograms. Here’s ten yuan for your labor. Keep it safe.”

James Summers handed ten yuan to a villager.

Starting from the third day, Howard Grant and his team got busy. Led by the village chief of Xiagou Village, honeysuckle was carried over to them. Edward Brooks and the others had set a target of fifty kilograms per trip, and the villagers were even competing to carry honeysuckle.

Each load of honeysuckle was checked for quality and then packaged, soon to be shipped to the provincial capital.

Watching each Xiagou villager receive ten yuan, Henry Shaw couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Just ten yuan could make the villagers so excited—was the amount he was offering too low?

However, thinking back to before he arrived, when Xiagou villagers also carried honeysuckle to the township for free, Henry Shaw didn’t know what to think.

“Boss Shang, we’re here too.” At that moment, Samuel Reed arrived, drenched in sweat, carrying a load of honeysuckle. A long line of people followed behind him.

“Samuel Reed, you’re personally getting involved?” Henry Shaw’s impression of Samuel Reed improved a lot—this guy was a real doer.

With a grin, Samuel Reed said, “This time we’ve got a hundred loads, each one fifty kilograms, all top quality. You guys can check the goods first.”

Henry Shaw called Howard Grant over to handle the receiving.

While Howard Grant was checking the goods, Samuel Reed pulled Henry Shaw aside and whispered, “Boss Shang, I don’t think I can keep doing this for long!”

“Come on, let’s talk over there.”
