Master said that there are no more than three thousand-year-old grasses in the world. If you pick them once, it will take at least a thousand years for them to grow again! In other words, they have to grow in the soil for a thousand years before they can emerge again. This is also the origin of the name of the thousand-year-old grass!
Baili Feiyue had of course never seen the real Millennium Grass, she had only seen a picture of it. Not to mention her, even her master only had a small piece of dried Millennium Grass leaf obtained by chance, and that leaf was also used to save her more than five years ago.
She was in that condition more than five years ago. If it weren't for the thousand-year-old grass leaves as a medicine, even if her master had superb medical skills, she would never have recovered to her current state!
It truly has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. As long as there is still a breath left, you can hang on and there is time to save the person!
Therefore, after Baili Feiyue confirmed in a flash that it was indeed the Millennium Grass, she almost held her breath.
His steps were uncontrollable as he ran into the drugstore.
The shopkeeper who had just bought some herbs was taking them out one by one. When he saw Baili Feiyue coming in, his expression suddenly changed.
He immediately sneered, "So it's the famous Third Miss Ling. How come Third Miss Ling is so capable that she also wants to come to my small herbal medicine shop to get treatment and medicine?"
Although Baili Feiyue was very excited in her heart, her eyes that were exposed still had a normal expression.
After hearing this, he looked at the shopkeeper in front of him again and didn't recognize him.
She didn't recognize him at all, she was sure she had never seen him before.
There is definitely no such person in my memory. But listening to the tone...
The owner of the medicine shop saw her looking at him and sneered again, "Thanks to Miss Ling San, my apprentice didn't go to the Medical Association competition to watch the excitement, but was identified and fell into the hands of the Jinyiwei. Now I don't know whether he is alive or dead!"
After hearing this, Baili Feiyue understood where this inexplicable hostility and disgust came from.
Is it just that? What a coincidence? Among those people she pointed out three days ago, there was a disciple of the person in front of her?
But, she didn't point fingers randomly at that time, so it is definitely impossible to say that she was wronged!
Of course, she could understand the shopkeeper's attitude, and she didn't care. "Shopkeeper, I just saw you collect some herbs, and there are exactly two or three of them that I need. I wonder how much you are willing to give for them?"
Those herbs just now?
The shopkeeper did not recognize the Millennium Grass. It was given to him by the person who sold the herbs. The shopkeeper guessed that it was just a local herb that was not even worthy of being included in medical books, so he had no idea that Baili Feiyue came for the Millennium Grass.
I just thought that Baili Feiyue was interested in other things. After all, these herbs are relatively precious.
"Hehe, no matter how much silver you offer, I won't give you up! Miss Ling San, please go ahead! This little pharmacy of mine can't accommodate a giant like you!"
Baili Feiyue raised her eyebrows slightly, "One thousand taels of silver to buy those medicinal herbs just now."
The shopkeeper paused, "One thousand taels! I can exchange these herbs for hundreds of kilograms!"
Everyone loves money, and the shopkeeper is no exception. But the shopkeeper is not a pushover, and looked at her suspiciously, "One thousand taels?" Where can't you buy these with one thousand taels? What's the difference between these medicinal herbs?
He took a few more glances and found that the quality was indeed good, and it was not cultivated by humans, but a wild medicinal herb. However, it was definitely not worth one thousand taels!
Baili Feiyue's expression remained unchanged, "Yes, one thousand taels."
Originally, the Millennium Grass was priceless, but since she didn't know the person in front of her, there was no need for her to act like an honest fool. There was no such thing as cheating or not. If the Millennium Grass was in this person's hands, it might be thrown away.
The shopkeeper looked at her steadily. The most important thing about the herbs in his hands was that they were fresh. Many of them were indeed better for medicinal use when fresh. He would sell them after keeping them for a few days.
If you sell it to the person in front of you, you will definitely make a profit.
One thousand taels is definitely a profit.
But, "If Miss Ling really wants it, just take three thousand taels!"
"Three thousand taels..." Baili Feiyue lowered her head slightly. When the shopkeeper was both proud and afraid that she would turn around and leave without paying even a thousand taels, Baili Feiyue gritted her teeth and said in pain, "Well... okay."
No matter how much the shopkeeper hated her or treated her harshly, he was still a businessman who had to eat and earn money to support his family. Besides, he had many apprentices, and it was unpleasant to be pointed out that the Jinyiwei took away that apprentice.
"I want the money and the goods now!" He thought this guy was playing tricks on him.
"That's fine. I'm in a hurry to take these herbs back to make medicine." Baili Feiyue was about to take out the money when she suddenly remembered something. She took it out and looked at it. Sure enough... there were only two thousand taels.
She gave one or two thousand taels to the guards who escorted Mr. Bian and his companions back to their hometown, and she brought three thousand taels with her today!
The shopkeeper also saw the banknotes in her hand. Although he quietly swallowed his saliva when he saw the huge amount of two thousand taels of banknotes, he tried to remain calm and said in a weird tone, "Miss Ling San doesn't have enough banknotes? There's nothing I can do! Don't stop me from doing business!"
"Boss, I'll give you these two thousand taels first. Then you give me the herbs first. I'll write you a receipt, and you can come to the general's mansion to get it from me, or I'll have someone send it to you. What do you think?" Baili Feiyue didn't mind his bad attitude, which was obviously still lacking in confidence. For the sake of the Millennium Grass, she was willing to talk to him nicely.
After all, she is not a robber, she can't just rob people.
When the shopkeeper saw her attitude, he became even more excited.
"Cash! If you have it, you have it. You won't leave!"
"Boss, if I don't want them, these things can only be sold for a hundred taels of silver at most. Boss, are you really not going to consider it?"
The shopkeeper wanted to take back what he had said, but he couldn't bring himself to do it, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "I..."
He just opened his mouth, then suddenly stopped, his eyes staring straight behind Baili Feiyue.
Baili Feiyue followed his gaze.
As a result, I almost bit my tongue!
Emperor Feng Jiu!
The shopkeeper was completely dumbfounded, staring blankly at the face of the man who came in, almost in a daze.
Although Baili Feiyue was not so frightened by the appearance of the man in front of her, her heart was filled with alarm. If it happened once, it could be a coincidence. But if it happened twice or three times, it could not be explained by coincidence!
If her every move in the past few days was really controlled by the person in front of her, and she was unaware of it, it would be too scary and too dangerous!
But no matter what, since he didn't reveal his identity in front of her, "Miss Ling San", she couldn't expose herself first.
He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Hey, sir, what a coincidence! We meet again! I haven't thanked you for what happened before."
The man glanced at her.
Baili Feiyue looked at him without flinching.
See what tricks you are playing!
However, he did not expect the man to take out a silver note worth one thousand taels and put it in front of the shopkeeper on the counter.
The shopkeeper, who seemed to have lost his soul, finally came back to his senses. Although he stuttered, his mind was still able to make sense. "Sir, are you going to pay for her?"
Emperor Feng Jiu nodded.
The shopkeeper was at a loss, "Oh. Oh, no problem, no problem."
He wrapped the herbs and handed them to Baili Feiyue almost mechanically, but his eyes still uncontrollably looked at Feng Jiuhuang's face and... eyes.
Baili Feiyue sighed inwardly, this shopkeeper is really not afraid of death...
Just as she took the bag of herbs and put her two thousand taels in front of the shopkeeper, she suddenly froze and was so shocked that she almost threw away the precious herbs in her hand.
Because Emperor Feng Jiu gently pinched her left hand which could not move due to the injury to her left shoulder blade!
