Chapter 191 Corpse-Dissolving Water



After they had eaten and drunk their fill and taken a shower, An Shuyi finally had time to sell the things she had found over the past twenty days while they lay in the tent.

There's no rush to buy time travel passes now. They'll sell off the smaller of the precious medicinal herbs they found, such as ginseng, lingzhi, and he shou wu. They'll keep three ginseng roots, two lingzhi roots, and three he shou wu roots.

The cheapest of these is He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum), which can only be sold for 2,000 taels of silver per piece. Lingzhi (Ganoderma lucidum) is 3,500 taels each because it is a rare purple Lingzhi. Ginseng can also be sold for 4,000 taels each.

She sold all the remaining flowers, saplings, tea trees, poisonous plants, and poisonous mushrooms, increasing her balance by 75,400 taels. Seeing so much silver, she gasped in surprise, never expecting to sell so much at once.

The previous balance was only 4,500 taels. With this 75,400 taels, the total is 79,900 taels. It's only 100 taels short of 80,000 taels. If I buy the time travel pass, I'll only be 20,000 taels short. I can buy it by selling the ginseng and lingzhi in the warehouse. Unfortunately, I don't dare to buy it without Hua Hua's permission.

When she opened the shopping section again, the trading system was playing tricks on her again. This time there were only twenty-one items. This was too capricious. Seriously, this was unfair. Before, an item costing 1,000 taels could light up five slots, but now an item costing over 70,000 taels could only light up twenty-one slots.

The first grid that lit up, just as she had guessed, contained four books with the same blue covers as the previous ten. The sixteen items on the back were recipes for dim sum: steamed buns, shrimp dumplings, honeycomb tripe, sticky rice chicken, rice noodle rolls, char siu buns, walnut buns, spare ribs, durian pastries, chicken feet, pineapple buns, turnip cakes, fried spring rolls, fried yogurt, egg tarts, and French toast. These were all recipes for morning tea.

Looking at those snacks, she felt hungry. She wondered if Hua Hua could make them. She wanted to eat them, but feeling her stomach was still full, she decided against it; she didn't like them.

Looking at the last one again, you know, the previous ones had ten or twenty lit grids, but this time a single grid was lit up, so the items must be good. After all, the time travel pass is for lighting up a single grid. Although three more appeared later, she sold quite a lot of things that time.

This is a piece of paper. Wow, I never expected that this would be the corpse-dissolving liquid that Hua Hua has always wanted. It's a pity that it's just a recipe, and I have to study it myself before I can use it. But having a recipe is not bad either. At least with this thing, it will be much easier to dispose of corpses in the future.

She hasn't bought the paper yet; she'll buy it when she returns to the village. Besides, this paper is particularly expensive. Other prescriptions cost at least 1,000 taels each, and some cost 10,000 taels each. The poison prescriptions are also priced like that, but this corpse-dissolving water is different; it costs 20,000 taels each.

If she wanted to buy all those prescriptions for medicine and poison, she would need tens of thousands of taels of silver, which would be far from enough.

Make the transaction system disappear, tell her about the increased balance, and also tell her about the corpse-dissolving potion she's always wanted.

Xia Hua was also very happy to hear this, but she still reminded him, "Shu Shu, you are not allowed to buy a time-travel pass without my permission, do you hear me?"

Seeing the threatening look in her eyes, An Shuyi nodded helplessly, "Don't worry, I promise I won't buy it without your permission." Was it really necessary to remind her so many times? She really wouldn't buy it.

Xia Hua was relieved after receiving her assurance. After all, the time travel pass was of great importance, and she was afraid that this silly woman would buy it when she wasn't paying attention, and then there would be no going back.

"Go to sleep. We'll start heading down the mountain tomorrow. We've spent enough time on the mountain already."

"Okay, go to sleep!" The two lay down and quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, after washing up and having breakfast, they didn't look for flowers, plants, or saplings, but headed straight for the capital. Three days later, looking at the distant city walls, the two knew they had arrived in the capital, but they still needed to go down the mountain and walk a bit further before they could truly reach the capital.

Unfortunately, it was already dark, and they would have to wait until tomorrow morning to go down the mountain. They decided to find a flat place to rest and, while they were there, An Shuyi would sell the flowers and plants she had seen over the past three days.

Although she didn't want to look for them, the flowers and plants seemed to be deliberately leading her to them. They would appear around her while she ate or rested, and she couldn't help but dig them up.

After the two finished eating, they sat in the tent. The food they had bought over the past month had all been eaten. Since they were about to arrive in the capital, they didn't cook anything more, but just ate simple meals. All the bowls had been washed and placed in An Shuyi's storage compartment, just waiting for the right time to buy more food and put them there.

After letting Hua Hua go to sleep, An Shuyi opened the trading system and sold the items she had found over the past few days. Her balance increased by 21,000 taels, bringing it to 100,900 taels. She then opened the item purchase section and noticed that 20 of the slots were lit up. Perhaps because she had been thinking about fruit, the lit slots were all fruit.

There were durian, melon, banana, coconut, kiwi, longan, pineapple, pomegranate, mangosteen, fig, avocado, rambutan, passion fruit, dragon fruit, blueberry, mulberry, persimmon, papaya, sugarcane, and lemon. This time, she had gathered all the fruits she didn't have before.

Seeing the durian, I bought one. I'd never had any before, and I couldn't eat it even if I wanted to. Now I can finally satisfy my craving.

Carrying the durian, she made the trading system disappear. Looking at Hua Hua, who was already asleep, she hesitated whether to wake her up. It was midnight, the perfect time to eat durian.

Xia Hua felt the burning gaze and opened her eyes helplessly. "What is it now? Hurry up and go to sleep after you've sold everything. Why are you looking at me?"

I opened my eyes and saw this silly old woman holding a durian, not even afraid of getting pricked. "Want some?"

An Shuyi nodded, "Yes, this time it's all fruit, there are twenty kinds, including durian, which I love. I want to buy one to try."

Xia Hua wiped her face with her hand and said helplessly, "I'll get you a knife." She took out a fruit knife, a large bowl, and a clean cutting board from the warehouse, picked up the durian, and began to cut it open.

Not long after, a pungent smell wafted from the tent. Of course, for durian lovers, it was a very fragrant smell. Put the durian flesh into a bowl. Five-room durian, very good.

"Eat up!" After saying that, he put the cutting board and fruit knife into the storage room, opened the tent, threw out the durian shells, turned around and saw that Shushu hadn't eaten yet, so he had to pick up a piece. "Eat up quickly, don't eat too much, or you won't be able to sleep."

She didn't understand why this silly woman chose to eat durian at 11 or 12 at night. Although she didn't dislike the fruit, she didn't particularly love it either, and Shushu always had to share it with her.

An Shuyi said, "Don't worry, I'll just eat a little, and I'll eat the rest tomorrow." She couldn't possibly finish all of this anyway.
