Purple-leaf bamboo
It was clearly the fifth-tier spiritual medicine, the Purple Frost Holy Bamboo, but it was sold as the third-tier spiritual medicine, the Purple Leaf Bamboo...
It seems that the Alchemy Guild in Fengyang County is just so-so.
A strange color flashed in Lou Qianxue's eyes, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, forming a wicked arc, and she said lazily: "How do you know I can't afford it?"
The medicine boy looked at her with contempt: "I have seen many people like you. You look poor but still want to buy good things to show off your wealth. But the things in our alchemy association are different from those outside. You can't just buy them casually..."
"What if I can afford it?" Lou Qianxue asked with interest.
The medicine boy was stunned for a moment, frowned, and looked at Lou Qianxue again: "If you can afford it, even if you are powerful, I will do whatever you ask me to do."
"Okay, that's what you said. Pack up this... um, purple-leaf bamboo. I want it." Lou Qianxue said, taking out a handful of silver bills from the mountain and river space and casually slapping them on the table: "Count them, and tell me if it's not enough."
"..." The pharmacist at the counter saw the huge amount of banknotes, and his eyes bulged out, almost popping out: "You...you..."
How is that possible! The material of the clothes this person is wearing is obviously not something that a rich person should wear!
The medicine boy stared at Lou Qianxue in disbelief, feeling a sense of anger at being tricked.
"What about me? Don't forget, from beginning to end, I never said I couldn't afford it. And don't forget what you just said - it seems that you should do whatever I ask you to do, right?"
When the medicine boy heard this, he felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, and his face turned extremely pale: "Young lady... Dear guest, my lady, I was blind and didn't recognize the great man. Just treat my previous words as farts. Don't bother with a small person like me..."
A person who could take out 1.5 million taels of silver was not someone a mere medicine boy like him could afford to offend.
"Okay, now you're acting pitiful. Where's your arrogance just now? Count the money quickly. I have other things to do."
The medicine boy didn't know how Lou Qianxue would deal with him. He felt regretful and afraid. After a while, his eyes turned red with fear. He counted the silver bills tremblingly. When he finally found out that there were tens of millions of taels of silver, his legs went weak and he wished he could faint.
"Dear guest, this, this is your extra banknote. I will wrap it with purple-leaf bamboo for you..."
Lou Qianxue took the banknote and saw that he looked frightened. She raised her eyebrows but said nothing more and let him pack the purple-leaf bamboo for her.
At this moment, the crowd became agitated.
Lou Qianxue turned her head to look and saw a young man in brocade clothes being surrounded by many people, coming out from the depths of the Alchemy Guild.
"Ah, Young Master Yang, it's Young Master Yang!"
"I heard that Young Master Yang is only 24 years old, but he can already challenge the third-level alchemist. How amazing!"
"That's right! Among the younger generation of people in Fengyang County, only Mu Wushuang, a genius in alchemy, can be compared with Young Master Yang. No one else can."
"That's right. The eldest and third sons of the County Magistrate's Mansion, including Hong Qinghe from the Hong family, are also extremely talented and charismatic people, but they are only good at martial arts. They are not good at alchemy."
As everyone was talking, Young Master Yang walked to the medicine counter in a very proud manner, and said in a commanding tone, "I want to stabilize my level as a third-level alchemist. Now, pack up all the third-level herbs here for me."
Thank you Huiling for the reward. Here is the second update. There will be four more updates to come.
