The old man looked at Ye Chen with interest and asked curiously, “Sir, are you sure you didn’t make a mistake? There are more than a hundred kinds of medicinal herbs listed here, and some are quite rare. The shop might not even have them. Did you copy them down wrongly?”

Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed and he shook his head.

“I didn’t make a mistake. I’ve been researching medicinal herbs recently and have failed many times. I plan to buy more this time so that I don’t have to come here all the time.”

“Give me as many as you have here.”

The old man glanced at Ye Chen again. For some reason, he felt that there was something strange about this fellow, but he could not quite place it.

However, he could not describe this feeling. He did not think too much about it and turned to the storage at the back.

“Sir, please wait a moment.”

Before long, the old man knocked on a door.

“Miss, it’s me. I have something to report.”

“Come in!”

It was a woman’s voice.

The door suddenly opened, and a strong medicinal fragrance filled the room.

The old man walked in carefully.

The room was extremely simple, and only contained a cauldron and a beautiful young woman, whose soft long hair was tied up with a pink ribbon.

There seemed to be a trace of immortal energy around her body, which made her seem somewhat ethereal.

“Elder Qiu, what happened in the herb shop?” The woman opened her eyes and waved her hand. A pill floated into her palm.

The grade of this pill was extremely high, and it was actually a medicinal pill infinitely close to the seventh grade, and easily surpassed Hong Tao’s!

No one would have thought that there was actually such a young top-notch alchemist behind the Land of Slaughter’s herb shop!

Elder Qiu did not dare to look the woman in the eye. He turned to the side and said, “Miss, you asked me to pay attention to all the people who purchased special medicinal ingredients. Today, one of them came.”

The woman stood up and picked up a towel beside her to wipe her sweat off. She asked curiously, “What’s strange about this person?”

Elder Qiu handed over the pill formula that Ye Chen had given him. “Miss, please take a look. There’s a very young man outside who wants to buy more than a hundred kinds of medicinal herbs. The herb shop has never seen such a large order this year.”

“Oh?” The woman glanced at the pill formula with interest.

“Buying so many medicinal ingredients, they are either refining rare medicinal pills, or don’t know anything about alchemy…”

Her beautiful eyes swept over the contents of the pill formula, and her smile suddenly froze.

She frowned, and seemed to enter a state of deep thought.

“Why does this look a little like a prescription from ancient times? It’s a pity that only the medicinal ingredients are written, but not the details…”

“The key point is what kind of person needs this prescription?”

“Every single medicinal ingredient here is in conflict with each other, but once you mix them together and refine them, they will all cancel each other out. This kind of refining method is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to accomplish. Either the other party is a top-notch alchemist, or the person behind this guy is a top-notch alchemist!”

The woman was clearly shocked by the pill formula.

“Then, Miss, do you want us to provide the medicinal herbs to this person?” Elder Qiu asked.

The corners of the woman’s mouth curled into an interested smile.

“I want to meet this person, so why not?”

“Pass down the order to give this person the best medicinal herbs. If you don’t have some of the items in the formula, you can take them from me.”

When Elder Qiu heard this, his expression turned to one of surprise.

The young miss had the support of the Core Tower, and she had even left the family in three years, fully focused on refining pills.

Even if Hong Tao’s fame resounded throughout the Slaughter Land, the Young Miss did not fight for fame either. The only thing she was passionate about in her heart was alchemy.

Despite this, she was willing to sacrifice some important medicinal herbs from her collection? This was very unexpected.

“Hurry up and go! When everything is ready, hand it over to me,” the young woman ordered.

“Yes, Miss!” Elder Qiu did not dwell on the matter and got to work immediately.

After a full ten minutes, Elder Qiu returned and carefully handed over a storage jade pendant to the young woman.

“YoungMiss, everything is inside.”

“Alright.”

The woman clenched her fist, and the storage jade pendant landed in her palm. Then, she headed toward the herb shop.

At this moment, Ye Chen was waiting patiently in the resting area. If he could not gather enough herbs here, then he could only go to HongTao’s place to take a look. If there were not enough herbs there as well, then things would be troublesome.

“Sir, is this your pill formula?”

A sweet voice instantly rang out, sweeping away the coldness of the atmosphere in the resting area.

Ye Chen looked up and saw a young woman walking toward him.

“You are?”

The girl smiled sweetly and handed over the pill formula she had been holding in her hand.

“Sir, my name is Luo Yao. I can be considered the owner of this herb shop. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Ye Chen took the pill formula back. He did not know if Luo Yao was doing it on purpose, but her body tilted slightly.

At the same time, her fingertips slid across Ye Chen’s palm, leaving a lingering sensation.

“I’m Ye Chen,” Ye Chen replied.

Luo Yao nodded. “That’s a good name. Oh right, there’s also this storage jade pendant. Inside it are all of the herbs that Mr. Ye needs. They are all here.”

Ye Chen was puzzled. The old man had clearly said that the medicinal ingredients for the prescription were lacking. Why did they suddenly have all of the ingredients?

He took the jade pendant and glanced at it. Not only were the herbs complete, but most of the herbs were of extremely high grades.

However, he did not think that there was a free lunch in this world.

“Miss Luo Yao, may I know the price of these herbs?”

After all, it was a transaction. At most, Ye Chen would give her more spirit stones.

Unexpectedly, Luo Yao shook her head and smiled, “Mr. Ye, I also like alchemy, so please take these herbs as a gift of friendship.”

Then, she revealed a smile and said, “However, I have a question in my heart. What kind of pill is Mr. Ye planning to refine? How can you ensure that the cauldron won’t be in disorder with so many medicinal herbs being refined at once?”

“Of course, if it’s not convenient for Mr. Ye to say it, I won’t make it difficult.”

When Ye Chen heard these words, his expression instantly became serious. Luo Yao’s background was unknown, so he naturally would not reveal anything about the pill formula.

He quickly took out some extremely high-grade spirit stones and placed them on the table.”! don’t like to receive favors from others. These spirit stones should be enough. Of course, I’m naturally willing to make friends with Miss Luo Yao. That’s it, goodbye!”

With that, Ye Chen left immediately.

Luo Yao naturally did not pursue him, but her eyes flashed with interest.

Elder Qiu walked over and looked at Ye Chen’s back. He said, “Young Miss, are we just going to let this kid go? Also, how did you know that the one refining the pill was this kid?”
