In one sentence, Old Man Ginseng knew that Su Yao could see through his true nature.
He confessed frankly, "A great demon has recently come to the mountains. We are no match for him. He threatened us, demanding as many gold beans as possible in exchange for them. If we don't give them to him, he will kill us and exterminate our descendants..."
Old ginseng has been able to transform into a human form for six hundred years, which shows that it has great wisdom and talent. Naturally, it is no match for some monsters that practice evil skills.
"That demon is in Qibai Mountain?"
"Exactly!"
She nodded: "Okay, I understand. I'll take some time to go to Qibai Mountain and see the big monster."
Although Su Ziyun looked calm, he was a little excited when he heard it!
This grandfather and grandson are actually ginseng spirits!
Qibai Mountain...Great Demon!!
This damn mortal with mortal eyes can only see ghosts and evil spirits clearly by swallowing the Wuxiang Pill when going on a mission. If he encounters a powerful demon cultivator with profound cultivation, swallowing a whole bottle of Wuxiang Pill will be useless!
As an employee of the grassroots group of Group C [Underworld] in Bureau 79, how could I have ever seen any big monster with my own eyes!
Even if there is, it is the job of the high-level group of Group A [Demon World].
If you encounter a big monster that even the high-level team can't deal with, you might have to ask the elder in charge of the 79th Bureau to come out and deal with it.
He said excitedly, "Sister! Can you take me with you when you go to Qibai Mountain?"
"We'll talk about it later."
Su Ziyun felt a little frustrated and subconsciously glanced at Fubao.
Seeing him holding Su Yao's dragon bone umbrella, he also felt that the male assistant who suddenly appeared beside this elder sister was very annoying, and felt the same way as his cousin Su Ziyu.
"Old man, you can't reattach these roots anymore, so just sell them all to me."
Su Yao gestured to Fubao and took the bag of golden beans.
She gave all the gold beans she exchanged for the bounty to Old Ginseng.
"This...how can I do this! I haven't repaid Miss Su for saving my life yet, how can I take your money again!" When the old ginseng saw that there were so many golden beans, which far exceeded the price he wanted to sell them for, he didn't dare to accept them at all.
"My family needs these ginseng roots, and they're not for free. I should pay for them, so please accept them."
Before Su Yao left, he gave Lao Renshen a piece of talisman paper with his own blood curse, which could save the lives of the grandfather and grandson at the critical moment.
"Thank you, sister! Goodbye, sister..."
As the little girl bowed and thanked him, Su Yao took Fubao out of the medical room.
"Ziyun, you came to the black market for some serious business, right?"
"Well, sister, there is something I must let you know. Ye Shijia is unconscious in the dark prison. After being sent to the hospital, the doctor diagnosed him as a vegetative state."
She said, "Vegetative? What a coincidence."
"Because of this incident, my superiors sent me to the black market to investigate. Someone provided information claiming that Ye Shijie appeared in the black market yesterday."
"Your superiors suspect that Ye Shijia's coma is caused by Ye Shijie?"
"Well, it's almost certain. Sister, if you are free, can you come back with me to the hospital to see if Ye Shijia still has a chance to wake up?"
Seeing the anxiety between his brows, Su Yao asked, "If the Ye family's affairs are not handled well, will your superiors hold you responsible?"
Su Ziyun said worriedly, "Yes! It was me who sent the Ye family to the dark prison. Now that something has gone wrong, it's naturally my responsibility."
"Because the Ye family was sentenced to life imprisonment, and now he's in trouble in the dark prison, the Ye family has someone to put pressure on their superiors, and the situation is not optimistic."
"I have an idea. Wait for me to contact you."
"Okay, I'll go do some work first, so I won't disturb you while you're browsing the black market."
As soon as he left, Su Yao asked Fu Bao, "Does the black market herbal medicine shop have the herbs I mentioned?"
"Sister, when I went to the herbal medicine shop yesterday, the owner told me that a distinguished guest would be coming today. He said that every time he shows up, the herbs he brings out are extremely rare!"
"Maybe we'll be lucky today and meet him."
She said, "Today is an auspicious day, and I just saved someone, so my luck shouldn't be too bad." Although she was a ginseng spirit, she had cultivated into a human form.
When they arrived at the largest herbal medicine shop in the black market, they passed by a man in a black cloak as soon as they entered the house.
The green eyes that the other person revealed were like emeralds in the dark, dazzling and captivating.
He covered his face with a cloak, obviously trying to conceal his identity.
Su Yao just took a look and then looked away. She was afraid of falling into the arms of a handsome man if she looked too much.
After Fu Bao explained his purpose to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper seemed very happy: "Sir, you came at the perfect time! Just now, that expert sold me two rare and precious medicinal herbs. You can't find another one like them in the entire black market..."
The shopkeeper praised his herbal medicine shop profusely. After inspecting it, Su Yao said directly, "Name a price."
"Your Excellency is so forthright. Give me ten ounces of gold, or transfer 250,000 RMB. Any less will not do."
Fu Bao said sullenly, "Boss, you're asking for too much!"
"Anyone who knows the business knows that these two herbs will sell easily. If you think they are not suitable, go somewhere else." The shopkeeper immediately pretended to be busy and ignored them.
Su Yao took out his mobile phone, looked up and said, "It's 200,000 RMB. If you're okay, scan the code now."
Seeing that the shopkeeper was still hesitating, she turned and left.
"Wait! I agree! Just consider it as making friends with you. You're welcome to come again next time!"
After getting the herbs, Su Yao first put them into the dragon bone umbrella to prevent them from being targeted by thieves. The black market is full of mixed people, so it is better to be careful.
…
After returning to the Su residence, Su Ziyu took Teacher Liu to get to know Su Yao.
In Ziwei Pavilion, she was studying the two herbs she had just harvested alone and was in a good mood.
If you meet a high-level alchemist who knows how to make elixirs, as long as you have money, you will probably give him 1,000 taels of gold without hesitation.
