Day 46 -72 No extra herbs?

The bus they traveled in was finished up with most of the protection formations needed. The Energy Gathering Array at the top was the biggest thing Rexford cared about. Supplemented with several filter designs, the Kinetic energy caused by the drive and the areas they pass were enhanced.

Resulting in cleaner Qi. Which Rexford made sure they spent a good bit absorbing at times. They needed to get used to all types for the future. He was studying the methods of the Transcendence Realm. Increasing his information on Biology and Chemistry was a must to help in this field.

More and more mutation-based developments were inside this process. All his insights pointed to this state as one of the reasons why several different humans developed unusual abilities over the centuries. Those who didn't have various powerful Manuals of Sects anyway.

The people on the bus were a few of the Actors/Actresses for the Power Ranger College series. Each of them was a martial artist in the Internal Force Realm- Initial Sucess (C) Stage. A total mixture of 21 adults.

Purchasing some land for shooting in Jiuding City helped a lot. Considering the Cold Dragon Pond was not that far from the location.

A'Xiu, Wu Shanhe, Chang Wen, Yanyan Hu, and Ji Xingyun were happily discussing martial arts and the different locations in the city with them. Chang Wen was mostly excited that she was able to converse with so many in the Entertainment industry.

"Excuse me, Boss." An actress by the name of Carano Edu, who was playing the role of a Morphin Mistress/Master, Dimitria/Divatox for Turbo, and a completely new heroine/villain later on came over. A strange adaptation of Dulcea from the movie. "May I sit?"

Rexford gestured for her to do so with no issue. After all the bus was cruising along nicely and he could use a bit of a break from his studies.

"For this entire series, you are kind of changing a lot of things." She pulled up a few parts of the script in regard to the different teams. "Straight clarification of lost powers and what happened to them at least."

"Yup. The good thing about owning the rights and being the producer and generally having the reigns for it all, is also implementation of what you want." Rexford gave a small smile. "I like seeing things, even if it turns out bad, I want to see it still."

"The Q & A is going well so far, for the digital series. As well as the previews for the lineup. What do I need to do to get a bigger role for my character?" Edu asked. "As half Asian and Spanish, the national barrier will be difficult to deal with."

"As a cultivator, you should relish the challenge. Broaden your horizon language-wise to understand different languages more. You already understand Spanish, Chinese, and English. Nothing wrong with a few more." Rexford pulled out his laptop typing away at something. "Alright, the Language Technique has been added to your Document Access, I expect you to finish by next month for another language."

"Thanks!" Edu's eyes went wide looking at the access she was given. This would cut down a lot as well as increase gaps in her other languages. "So, who is playing the role of Zedd?"

"That is a secret for now. But I can tell you it is going to definitely be human and from Primordial Earth. The whole he only became human after the "Good Wave" hit him thing was just lackluster. Considering his scarred form was created by the Zeo Crystal, I thought it best to do it this way overall." Rexford pulled up the script he was in the works for Lord Zedd's background and whatnot. "I don't have the rights to the various comics and game adaptations. So New Series using the various matters up until Power Rangers In Space works best."

"The fights between the cast have been so-so for now. But a lot of it is getting brutal later on. Not to mention the death scenes. Medical Insurance is free at least." The Fear she had, as well as several others, tasted delicious to Rexford. One of the reasons he wanted them to get used to actually fighting more. "The Spirit Balm at least works wonders on the bruises."

The Spirit Balm was just grounded down Vortex Spirit Enhancing Pills with a Herbal Moisture added in. Helped with the healing rate of bruises and lacerations. Much to the happiness of the cast after the first bits of fighting shoots.

Going into matters about the script caused a few others to join in. Then the overall matter switched to the various martial schools everyone belonged to. Some had connections to the Chuzhou Masters so it worked in Rexford's overall favor.

Herbal Hall-

After arriving in Jiuding City they split off.

Rexford, A'Xiu, Wu Shanhe, and Yanyan Hu went to the Hundred Medicine Pharmacy. Everyone else went to the Production Site and scouted the area around the Cold Dragon Pond.

A call came in from Yu Wenjing who couldn't help herself and went home the previous day. Rexford hit ignore. She would learn a lesson the hard way or Biao and Wei Rao would take care of it.

"Hundred Medicine Pharmacy, they need to get better at making deliveries." Rexford muttered. Having inquired once before, Wei Ziqing and Wei 3rd both were unable to get them to deliver to the city. Well at a decent price anyway. "You have some pull here do you not?"

Memory served Wu Shanhe had a connection in the place. So he wanted to see the man at work for himself.

Yanyan Hu stood to his right with an earpiece in her ear as she listened to information coming in as well as messaging on her tablet about certain matters. A'Xiu was happy just to the left of Rexford. Dressed in the casual attire of the Ansatsuken members.

A Black & Gold Chinese Kung Fu Wushu clothes. Shaolin Suit Taiji Uniform tight sleeve. Rexford wore only a slight change to his previous clothing. Gray Men's Formal Casual Dress Vest Tie Suit Athletic Fit Tuxedo with some gray Wrangler jeans. Material thin which would allow a little breeze threw.

Just because his body temperature was not affected by the temperature outside greatly, does not mean he didn't enjoy the breeze passing over him.

Wu Shanhe wore his normal attire with the Ansatsuken colors now. As well as the symbol on the sash around his waist.

"I do, and they have been alerted already." Wu Shanhe stated. After the upgrade to his Cultivation and the new Manual he acquired from Rexford, he was determined to show sincerity whenever possible. "As one of the Great Masters in Zhongzou Province and with word spreading, I am one of the people of Ansatsuken now, they should have some quality herbs for us."

Walking up to the Chinese Building, they were greeted by some attendees of the place. The entire area smelled like herbs for the most part and also gave Rexford a burning sensation in his chest. Followed by the cooling sensation caused from Gaia's energy inside him. That continued to grow lately.

Especially when he absorbed the Sun's energy.

*Woom!* A green qi left from Rexford out of his control. Followed by another.

*Woom!* purple qi swirled around him and those in the entrance before dissipating entirely.

"Ehhh.. I understand Plants & overall Nature more." Rexford muttered. The Mini informed him of a change that finally finished from the beginning. He gained the Aspect of Nature due to Gaia's involvement and eating dirt with all the absorption of material recycling. As well as the Serving Women somehow. 'Well, makes eating dirt earlier all that more interesting.'

"Umu." Yanyan Hu muttered blissfully. Unsteady on her feet for a brief moment. "I.. could get used to that." Everyone in the vicinity is more or less in the same state.

"Welcome, we have been expecting you." An attendee said. The green and purple glow left her body and her coworkers. Her eyes shone having caught that Rexford was the one who caused the phenomenon just then.

"Please lead the way." Wu Shanhe smiled with practice ease. "If your master is available, I would enjoy speaking with him."

"Yes, just a minute." The attendee leads them into a private room before departing. Her partner remained behind to tend to the guests.

"This Pharmacy is pretty big." A'Xiu stated. Her eyes darted around the entire they were inside. She didn't even notice the energy pass over her earlier since it came from Rexford. "Don't have anything as big as this in Jiangbei."

"Some to fix actually." Rexford still had the Dense Qi available and the various construction materials that he would send into the Black Gold Vortex later would help produce more. "The area for the Herbal Garden has already been marked. Just need the product to grow."

"After the seeds are purchased here of course." Yanyan Hu stated. "Perfect time to get to know an established Herbal Depository. Especially with the higher Alchemy/Herbal Halls having such difficulties with trading."

The attendee didn't say anything only listening to them talk. Refreshments were already on the table.

A few minutes later the manager came in. Slightly out of breath. His news was not that great for Rexford. He filled them in with Yanyan Hu making a small gesture about who was involved in causing issues.

The Su family had interfered in his purchasing of acquiring herbs. The area they were in was not under the control of Jiangbei so it was expected. The Su family kept the move subtle and did so by using the Big Family on Gang Island, the Zheng Family.

"The medicinal materials the Ansatsuken purchase already.. is still here correct?" Wu Shanhe was hoping yes for the Medicine Hall's sake. "Surely they didn't poach our items as well as the recent shipments?"

"Hehe.. yes we still have the previous order but nothing else." The manager said sheepishly. "The recent order was not confirmed.. so it is not an issue. Right?"

"Correct." Rexford said simply. If they would have sold the items he already paid for then that would have been a problem. "Let's just purchase some other items while we are here."

"To not waste any of your time, all the precious medicine in all of Jiuding City is gone. At least for the last month was purchased." The herbs that the Wei family obtained would have to do, if they got them in time when he asked anyway. "We are out of most of the 50-year medicine with only a few stores of 100-year old medicine."

"That is troubling." Wu Shanhe rubbed his chin in thought. Looking at Rexford who was not overall bothered by this. A slight head nod from his boss made him aware that would do. "We will purchase what is left as well as any seeds you have available."

"To pay back the matter from before," the first attendee passed over an invitation to Rexford. "This is an invitation to the Black Market of precious Medicinal Materials. Given to guests who purchase a lot from the hall."

"Thank you." Rexford handed it over to Yanyan Hu. She immediately went to work on finding out all the information needed on those who would be there. 'Anything dealing with the Su family definitely gets her fired up, so best to let her handle it.'

"We will prepare right away as well as the purchased items as well." The manager and the attendee that remained before left. With the one who gave the invitation previously staying in the room now.

"The Black Market, will have a lot of people of importance there. I just want to advise the Master of Ansatsuken to be careful." The attendee said politely. "I was at the competition but did not see you fight. My name is Shengkai of the Shen Family." Her demeanor was that of anyone else on the street, unlike the people in the Shen Family Rexford knew of from memory.

Lack of overwhelming arrogance.

"Ah, you must be one of the cousins of the fool Shen Junwen." Rexford said simply. She nodded confirming it. "That is such a shame, I recommend getting out of that family. Cutting all "blood ties" any way you can."

"Why do you say that Master Mingyun?" Shengkai's eyes were wide. She was just wanting to set up a little business in the future for her family but he was warning her to leave it altogether. 'Why do I have a really bad feeling about this?'
