"Another outsider coming to participate in the 'Alchemy Conference'!"
"But she looks so young. It will be hard for such a young girl to get a place in the Alchemy Conference."
"But, a place like the Danwang Mansion where the 'Alchemy Conference' is held is worth it even if you only come here to broaden your horizons!"
"makes sense!"
Everyone's gaze paused on Lou Qianxue, then shifted away.
Lou Qianxue, however, was keenly aware of everyone's discussion.
"The 'Alchemy Conference' held by the Dan Palace? Wasn't that two years ago? Could it be that it is also happening now..."
Realizing this, Lou Qianxue couldn't help but smile: "This is such a coincidence. I missed the college entrance examination and the 'Alchemy Conference' two years ago, but I ran into them just after I came back..."
But even so, she still doesn't plan to participate.
"This 'Lingxi County' is the capital of medicine, with the most medicinal herbs. I'd better go and take a look and buy some."
There were herbal medicine stores everywhere in Lingxi County. Lou Qianxue picked one at random and went in.
There are many medicinal herbs in the store, including some fourth- and fifth-level herbs that are rarely seen elsewhere.
But that's about it.
Higher-level medicinal materials are rarely available in such a small place, and are priceless. Unless you go through special channels, it is difficult to buy them.
Lou Qianxue took a fancy to a few medicinal herbs and was about to buy them, but she found...
“I don’t think I have enough silver notes… There are quite a few blood ginsengs in the mountain and river space, but after being nourished by the Tongtian Divine Tree, those blood ginsengs all contain rich vitality. It’s not cost-effective to sell them for medicine.”
Lou Qianxue frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
suddenly…
"Boss, please, please lend me a black pearl grass! I will return it to you later." A hoarse voice begged bitterly.
"Return it to me? You are so poor that you can't even afford the Mysterious Pearl Grass. What can you give me back?"
"I'll go to the black market! Once I get your Xuanzhu grass, I'll go to the life and death fighting arena and gamble my life. If I win, I can get double the Xuanzhu grass. Shopkeeper, please, my brother needs medicine, please lend me one!"
"No loan! No loan! You poor bastard, get out now and don't hinder my business here!" The shopkeeper was annoyed by being pestered and his attitude became fierce. He pushed the other party away and asked someone to kick him out.
"Black market? Life and death fighting arena? I seem to have heard of it..."
Lou Qianxue followed him out of the pharmacy and caught up with the middle-aged man who was asking for medicine: "Sir, please stay."
The other party looked timid, and immediately stopped and asked Lou Qianxue cautiously: "Miss, what can I do for you?"
"I want to ask you something. If you answer well, it will be yours." Lou Qianxue took out a black pearl grass and waved it in front of the other person.
Those were the medicinal herbs she had obtained from Master Huo when she was in Fengyang County.
The other person's eyes suddenly lit up, and he became excited in an instant: "Miss, kind-hearted Miss, thank you so much, ask whatever you want, just ask, as long as I know, I will tell you everything I know!"
Lou Qianxue nodded: "You just said that if you go to the black market life and death fighting arena to gamble your life, you can get double the amount of medicinal materials. What's going on?"
"A life and death fighting arena..." The other party was stunned for a moment, and said sadly: "Miss, that kind of bloody and brutal place is only for people who are desperate. A noble person like you..."
"It's okay, just say it."
