"To be honest, because the Medicine God once said that he would save a person from the Medicine God Valley, every month 15 years, there would be a large group of people that would go to the Medicine God Mountain to search for the Medicine God Valley. But so far, no one has found the Medicine God Valley, and now that 15 years have passed, there's a large group of people gathering around this time to wait."
Xiao Yu took out another silver ingot and placed it on the table, "Cut the crap."
"Because this place is hard to find, we don't know when a guild called the Alchemist Association appeared in the town. It's said that if they get someone to lead them, it will greatly increase their chances of success."
"The Alchemist Guild?" Mu Xiaoling was both familiar and unfamiliar with this term. Before she had transmigrated, she had seen many different kinds of guilds, but this was the first time she had heard such a term.
However, Xiao Yu said in disdain, "They're just a bunch of hypocrites."
Mu Xiaoling looked at him. "You know about it?"
Xiao Yu waved his hand and sent the shop assistant away, "Hmm, the things that are passed down are not good stuff. Remember to stay far away when you see them."
Even though Mu Xiaoling didn't really understand it, she still believed Xiao Yu's words. Since Xiao Yu didn't say anything, then there must be a problem. However, Xiao Yu seemed to be afraid of the Upper Realm and she didn't want to pursue it.
Ta Xia and Liu Chen'er didn't care about the two of them. They just lowered their heads to eat, especially Liu Cheng who hadn't eaten such a normal meal in a long time. She was so touched that she wanted to cry every time she took a bite.
After they finished eating, Xiao Yu called the shop assistant over to settle the bill.
The shop assistant scanned the crowd with a smile, "Guests, a total of 120 taels of silver."
"What!" Mu Xiaoling frowned. The food they ate wasn't anything special. There were at least 20 taels of silver. How could it be 120 taels?
The shop assistant looked around in disdain and said, "Dear customer, the ingredients used in our restaurant are all good. One hundred and twenty taels of silver is not a small amount."
This clearly meant that they were going to be slaughtered like fat sheep.
Ta Xia stood up in a rage. He raised his hand to whip her, but was pulled down by Liu Chen'er, who was beside him, and sat down.
Mu Xiaoling calmed down. "What a big bully."
The shop assistant said, "Customer, you are wrong, all the medicinal ingredients in this shop come from the Medicine Association, if you say that they're good, then it's definitely not a lie. I'll be honest, half of the money has to go to the Medicine Association, but if you continue to shirk it, the consequences are not something we can predict."
"What a great Alchemist Guild." Mu Xiaoling laughed coldly. As expected, they had followed Xiao Yu's instructions. A group of hypocrites said, "If you want money, fine, but let that person from the Alchemist Guild personally come and take it."
The shop assistant said scornfully, "You refuse a toast only to be punished!" He was a level three martial artist, and many people who didn't want to be slaughtered had already been taught a lesson or even killed by him. As long as he threw the corpse into the dry well in the backyard, no one would know about it.
Mu Xiaoling picked up a chopstick and stuck it into the shop assistant's palm. "I love to drink my forfeit. Scram."
The shop assistant did not expect to meet an expert and was immediately frightened. He could not help but moan in pain because of the wound on his hand. With much difficulty, he pulled out his chopsticks and ran away, not forgetting to say harshly, "If you have the guts, then just wait here!"
"Scram!" With his eyes wide open, the shop assistant was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground and ran away as if he was running for his life.
Before long, a clamor could be heard from downstairs as two young men in green and grey robes walked up. If one looked carefully, they would see that there was a small black cauldron embroidered on each of their clothes, and as they walked, they would call out, "Who dares to offend our Alchemist Guild?"
Here it comes.
Mu Xiaoling thought to herself. Ten minutes later, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the private room. One of them asked, "Are you the ones that are disrespectful to our Alchemist Association?"
Xiao Yu glanced at them indifferently, then explained gently to Mu Xiaoling, "The clothes of the Alchemist Association are divided into four categories, the first tier is red, the second tier is white, the third tier is green, while the unranked are all grayish-white."
However, the two of them were displeased. Wherever they went, they would usually hold them in their arms. Now, they dared to speak to them in such a manner. They immediately shouted in anger, "What did you say!"
"I said you guys are out of line." Xiao Yu said indifferently as he took out a handkerchief and wiped Mu Xiaoling's hands.
"Bastard, you reckless people actually dare to insult the Alchemist Guild. You deserve to die. Today, I, Yang Zhao, will let you have a taste of the strength of our Alchemist Guild." One of the two jumped out, pointing at a few of them and cursing loudly.
Mu Xiaoling smiled as she looked at him. "Let's wait and see."
Yang Zhao rolled his eyes and immediately took out a medicine bottle from his chest. With just a sprinkle, a burst of fragrance assaulted him.
Cheng'er sniffed the air. "These despicable things aren't even as good as my Mumei Fragrance." As he said this, he waved his sleeve, and a sweet plum fragrance assaulted his nostrils. It was fresh and distant and very fragrant.
Mu Xiaoling and Xiao Yu had already been resting for a while as they watched quietly.
This dream plum blossom fragrance was something that had caused them to dream together. It was something that Liu Chen had developed by chance over the years, and what Yang Zhao had spread was a pollen called the Sleeping Flower. The effects of the two items were similar, but the dream plum blossom fragrance that Liu Cheng'er had was stronger.
Sure enough, Yang Zhao and his companions were caught off guard by the fragrance. Instantly, their eyes became misty, and they began to giggle foolishly, drool profusely. Afterwards, they actually started to dance while hugging each other.
Cheng'er touched the hairpin on her head. "I can control the dream of those who inhale the fragrance of Mengmei."
The implication of her words was that she could let these two people kill themselves at any time.
Mu Xiaoling shook her head. "Evildoers naturally have evil people to grind with. Don't dirty our hands. Entering the valley is more important right now."
"I... Can I really cure it like this? " Although Liu Chen'er had followed him, she didn't hold out any hope at all. Now that they were at the bottom of Herb Mountain, her heart was like a demon, fantasizing that she would really recover her youth.
Mu Xiaoling gripped Liu Chen's hand tightly. "The Southern Palace is indeed an extraordinary person. I will definitely be able to cure you."
Liu Cheng smiled, but didn't say anything.
Mu Xiaoling shot a glance at the two men from the Alchemist Association. "Tell them to scram."
Liu Chen's fingertips moved slightly and emitted a strange frequency. Yang Zhao's expression changed and he no longer danced, pouncing forward instead, "Butterfly, don't run."
The other one did the same.
The two jumped up and down, shouting that they wanted to chase after the butterfly. Finally, under the crowd's gaze, they left the inn and disappeared.
However, they couldn't stay in this inn, so perhaps the other houses wouldn't dare to take them in either. Thus, this inn became a problem.
Xiao Yu said, "The Southern Palace's Qi has a courtyard in this town. I just happen to have the key there, so I'll go there."
