Qianzhen Pavilion, the largest store in Nanyue Kingdom.
There are many guests coming and going.
Although Huang Yueli was a young lady from the Hou family, no one paid attention to her because she was dressed very ordinary.
She walked around the store and found that Qianzhen Pavilion was indeed the largest store in South Vietnam. Most of the medicinal materials on her list were available here, but... the price was really expensive.
For example, the first-level herbal medicine Perilla grass costs ten taels of silver per flower, and the fire sunflower costs eight taels of silver per flower...
This is still the worst quality. The price of slightly better quality products will be several times higher.
On the list given by Little Phoenix, one hundred copies of each are required for these two items alone, not to mention other high-end medicinal materials. Collecting them all will cost at least thirty thousand taels of silver.
Huang Yueli touched her shriveled pocket and felt a little upset.
Before going out, she asked her maid Caiwei and found out that she, the royal princess of Changle County, was extremely poor.
Since Bai Liufeng disappeared, the family's property was "taken over" by his second uncle Bai Liujing for various reasons.
Bai Ruoli now has no money left at all, and usually relies on pawning some antiques for money to make ends meet.
And the only fifty taels of silver she had in her pocket, which she got from Bai Ruoyan yesterday, was only enough to buy five perilla plants.
However, she didn't expect to be able to buy many medicinal materials with these fifty taels of silver. She had already thought about it. In her previous life, she was the number one weapon refiner in the mainland. Although her strength was greatly reduced now and she couldn't even absorb the profound energy. But it is still easy to make a few low-level gadgets, which can be exchanged for money.
But after shopping around, she discovered tragically.
I am not just poor, I am really poor!
It turns out that low-level weapon-refining materials are so expensive, she simply can’t afford them!
A low-grade weapon-making furnace, which she regarded as no more than scrap metal, cost eight hundred taels of silver. As for the other materials, it was even more outrageous. It was simply a scam!
In fact, she didn't realize that the profession of weapon refiner was originally built on money.
In her previous life, she had been in a large sect since she was born, and was a core disciple with outstanding talents. She had easy access to various resources, but of course she looked down upon these things. But in a small border country like Nanyue, even low-grade materials were luxuries that only princes and nobles could afford.
Huang Yueli was thinking about how to make money when she heard a familiar voice beside her.
"How much does this mysterious weapon cost?"
When she turned around, she found Bai Ruoyan standing behind her.
Huang Yueli immediately laughed. It seemed that she was really lucky. As soon as she said she was short of money, the money sender came to her door.
Bai Ruoyan had also seen her at this time, and the expression on her face instantly became ferocious.
"Bai Ruoli! Why are you little bitch here??"
Huang Yueli smiled and said, "Are you out of your mind? Do you need to ask? When you come to the store, you naturally want to buy something."
Bai Ruoyan sneered: "It's just you? Can you afford the things in Qianzhen Pavilion? You are a poor guy, you can't even buy a medicinal herb, right?"
Huang Yueli smiled and said: "Whether I can afford it or not, it seems to be none of your business, right? However, I do find it strange that some people... such scandals happened yesterday, yet they dare to go out today. They are really shameless. The city wall is still thick!”
Mentioning yesterday, Bai Ruoyan wished she could pounce on her and strangle her to death: "How dare you show up in front of me! Yesterday... What happened yesterday, was it you who was doing something wrong? You dare to play tricks on me like this, I'll beat you to death. Bitch!”
With that said, she took out the whip she carried with her and swung it at Huang Yueli.
Huang Yueli was already on guard and dodged with one wrong step.
Bai Ruoyan whipped her several times angrily, but she didn't even touch Huang Yueli's clothes.
She was even more furious. Thinking of the shame of being pointed at on the street yesterday, she almost couldn't hold it in her breath. She wished she could beat Huang Yueli to death so that she could alleviate the hatred in her heart!
