Chapter 142 - Dragon Ravine Herbal House

Ah Chun finished off the last three sets of herbs that her and Meimei had already prepared for refining. To Meimei's amazement, Ah Chun steadily got faster at refining the healing lotus pill. She went from refining a batch within one hour all the way down to half an hour by the time she was on the fourth set of herbs. Also, each batch produced six healing lotus pills each. Ah Chun's current pill count was now twenty-four pills. 

Seeing her results in just one day Ah Chun was very satisfied. Now she just needed to find a place to sell the pills. "Alright, Meimei we now have pills to sell so let's find a place to sell them."

"Young Miss the Dragon Ravine Herbal House is just down the street if you want to sell them. From what I know they will give you the highest price since they are backed by the academy." 

Certain businesses were backed by the academy in order to give the disciples that went there a bit of benefit. Not only could they get a higher price for selling their goods but they would also get a lower asking price when buying things as well. That was because the academy would only buy their goods from these backed businesses in return.

It did not take long to arrive in front of the Dragon Ravine Herbal House. The building was actually quite huge. It was a pagoda-style architecture with red pillars that had dragon engravings wrapped around them. Ah Chun passed through the door and instantly got the attention of everyone. Her peculiar appearance was just that eye-catching. It did not help to have a Meimei attachment on her tail either. That just made Ah Chun stand out even more. But she did not care about these things, she was here on a mission to sell her pills so she could make enough money for the entrance fee for Celestial Star Academy.

An old clerk hurriedly walked forward to greet Ah Chun. He paid no mind towards Ah Chun's appearance or the Meimei attachment. "Miss how can I help you today?" The old clerk said as he cupped his hands and gave a slight bow.

"I'm here to sell some rank four healing lotus pills. I was hoping your herbal house would be willing to buy them from me?" Ah Chun returned the old clerks greeting with a polite bow as she stated her purpose for coming here.

"Yes of course Miss. Right this way. We will need one of our pill refiners to inspect the items."

Ah Chun nodded and followed the old clerk to a private room. "If you could just wait in this room please, while I go get someone to do the inspection."

The old clerk quickly ran off to get one of their in house pill refiners to help inspect Ah Chun's pills. Ah Chun and Meimei sat on the wooden chairs as they waited for the clerk to return. They did not have to wait for long. As the old clerk came back in with an old man with a long white beard in tow. 

"Miss this is Master Lin Fen. He is the master of our herbal house." The old clerk respectfully introduced the old man with a white beard to Ah Chun.

"It is a pleasure to meet you Master Lin Fen. My name is Ah Chun I came today to sell some of my pills." Ah Chun got up from her seat cupped her hands and gave a small bow.

"Mhm. Miss Ah, please pass me the pills you are trying to sell." Master Lin Fen was very pleased by Ah Chun's behavior. Many times when the younger generation come here to sell things they are normally very arrogant and cause a scene. So having someone as polite and respectful of the young generation such as Ah Chun he was very pleased.

Ah Chun did not waste any time as she waved her hand making two white porcelain bottles appear on the table. Each bottle held twelve healing lotus pills. Master Lin Fen calmly picked up one of the bottles and opened the top. The scent of herbs filled the air and Master Lin Fen's eyes widen in shock.

"Miss Ah who refined these pills?" Master Lin Fen had taken out one of the pills to examine and he could not hide his surprised expression. 

"Umm… I did... Is there an issue with them? It was my first time refining pills so if there is an issue with them. I must apologize!" Ah Chun was nervous. She had only refined pills once so when being asked who refined them she automatically thought that there was an issue with the pills so she was already apologizing and bowing her head!
