After deciding on the time and place, Chen arrived at the place first.
He took some time to study the two prescriptions. He realized that a lot of Spiritual Medicine was not available on earth.
Luckily, Chen had the Scholar Heart. His ability to deduce things from one example was very strong.
Soon, he came up with a new prescription. He used the Traditional Chinese Medicine that he could find on earth to replace the Spiritual Medicine.
Of course, the effect of the medicine would be greatly reduced. But, he only needed to use the medicine on earthlings. He did not need the effect of the Spiritual Medicine!
Yap arrived soon after and brought Chen to the Chinese Medicine Market.
Dragon City was the capital of China. All the best resources in China were gathered here. The Chinese Medicine Market was no exception.
The huge Chinese Medicine Market was all-inclusive.
A lot of herbs that were hard to find in other places could be found in this market.
There were even some strange prescriptions that looked weird. But, they all had something to do with Chinese Medicine.
For example, the Chicken Treasure that looked like a cobblestone, the Fungus that looked like a piece of fat, the Chinese Knotweed that looked like a little boy and a little girl. There were all kinds of them!
As for whether or not these things were really useful, one would need to have a certain level of professional knowledge and foresight to judge.
As the saying goes, all businessmen are cunning. If one did not use their eyes, they would be unlucky if they bought a fake product.
Yap asked curiously, "Bro Bei, are you interested in all these weird things as well?"
"Not interested. Most of them are fake." Chen shrugged.
With the Compendium of Materia Medica, the Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes and the Bagua Qi Observation Skill, Chen could tell whether the herbs were real or fake.
"Bro Bei, you are so smart!" Yap smiled and said, "Nine out of ten people who come here to look for treasures will lose money! “
"Is there someone else who can make a profit?" Chen asked.
"Yes! There are some lucky people who can pick up leftovers here! "
Yap said, "Not long ago, there was a student from a Traditional Chinese Medicine School who was strolling around here. He spent one thousand Yuan to buy a real Stone Ganoderma! He sold it to a pharmacy and sold it for eight hundred thousand Yuan! I've really picked up a great bargain! "
Chen nodded and said, "It takes a lot of luck to pick up leftovers. I will not miss it if I see it. But, my goal is clear now. I need to gather all the things that I need first."
"Understood!"
Yap Liangchen immediately said, "In this medicinal herb market, the Wu Family's pharmacy has the most complete and highest quality medicinal herbs! It's over there. "
Under Yap Liang Chen's lead, they soon arrived at an ancient Chinese-style pavilion.
An old sandalwood plaque hung in front of the main door. The words "Wu Family Pharmacy" were written on it. It was full of grandeur and had a long history.
"Bro Bei, this is the place!" Yap Liangchen led the way.
As soon as he stepped in, a lingering medicinal fragrance wafted over.
As far as the eye could see, all kinds of medicinal herbs were displayed in the surroundings. It could be said to be a dazzling lineup, and there were too many to count!
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
A salesperson greeted them politely, and his expression immediately changed. "Oh no! Wasn't that Young Master Ye? What brings you here? "
"Call your Head Shopkeeper Niu here." Ye Liang Chen was expressionless as he ordered casually.
Although the Yap Family was not considered as one of the most powerful families in Dragon City, they were still quite famous. To the middle and lower class citizens, they were definitely out of reach.
"The Head Shopkeeper is collecting the medicinal herbs now. I think you will have to wait for a while." The salesperson said politely.
"Okay." Yap Liangchen was a little unhappy, but he did not say it out loud.
After all, the Head Shopkeeper was not an ordinary person. Even Yap Liangchen had to respect him.
In this kind of old pharmacy, the Head Shopkeeper was a famous traditional Chinese medicine practitioner! Not only was he good at medicine, but he also knew the medicinal herbs like the back of his hand. He was the treasure of the pharmacy!
Even if you were a high-ranking official or a martial arts master, you would still suffer from illnesses.
It was inevitable for you to seek medical advice!
That was why one should never offend a famous doctor!
For a famous doctor like Elder Luo, countless officials and nobles would beg for him to be their esteemed guest!
If anyone dared to offend Elder Luo, half of the influential people in Dragon City would be furious!
Similarly, offending the Head Shopkeeper would definitely anger the big boss of this pharmacy, the Wu Family!
"Bro Bei, shall we sit down and have a cup of tea first?" Yap Liangchen asked.
"We have nothing to do anyway. Let's go and see what kind of medicinal herbs the Head Shopkeeper is collecting!" Chen said.
Yap Liangchen gave the salesperson a look. Immediately, the salesperson led the way to a counter inside the pharmacy. However, he did not walk over to the counter. Instead, he stood a few meters away and looked at the Head Shopkeeper.
"I have already told you that this is an artificially grown Chinese Knotweed! Don't think that I can't tell that this is a human shape that was made from a mold! "
Behind the counter, a white-haired old man said in an impatient tone.
Obviously, he was Boss Niu!
"Sir! Please take a closer look! This is definitely a wild Chinese Knotweed! "
A young man said anxiously, "I can swear that I dug this out from Lin Quanshan! How could it be artificially grown? "
"I have seen all the molded Chinese Knotweed outside! I can tell that it is fake just by looking at it! Look at this one! Its skin is as dry as tree bark! Also, this human shape is completely different from them! "
Human shape?
Chen squinted his eyes and looked at the herb on the counter.
On the counter, there was a twenty-centimeter long root-like medicinal herb. Its skin looked like tree bark. It looked really old. And it was shaped like a human.
"This is a wild Chinese Knotweed! And it is around five hundred years old! This is extremely rare! "
Chen did not show it on his face. But, his heart was racing.
Chinese Knotweed was a necessary ingredient to concoct the Bone Burning Pill. And, the age of the Chinese Knotweed determines the final effect of the pill!
Initially, Chen thought that he would be lucky enough to get a hundred-year-old Chinese Knotweed.
He did not expect to find a five-hundred-year-old Chinese Knotweed! He had to get it no matter what!
Of course, Chen did not interrupt him.
There were rules in every industry. Since Boss Niu was talking about this deal, Chen did not want to interrupt him.
This was the most basic rule of all.
"Don't talk about useless stuff. Do you have any evidence to prove that this is a wild Chinese Knotweed?" Boss Niu said impatiently, "If you have evidence, then tell me. If you don't, then don't waste my time!"
"Sir! I'm not lying to you! We can swear that if I lie to you, I will be run over by a car! "The young man was very anxious.
He was just a layman. Other than the fact that Chinese Knotweed was dug out from the mountain, what other evidence could he provide?
"Alright, alright! Young man, I can see that you are in need of money. I am willing to pay you five hundred Yuan for your Chinese Knotweed! If you think that it suits you, I will pay you now! You don't have to make a vow just for a stalk of Chinese Knotweed! "
Boss Niu shrugged. He looked like a generous person. But, there was a flash of cunning in his eyes!
