Seeing that they had gotten to know each other, Liu Yiyi also remembered their purpose for coming here. She took out her storage pouch and said to Uncle Bai, "Uncle Bai, there are a lot of herbs. Please help us change the pills."
Hearing Liu Yiyi's words, Uncle Bai's expression immediately collapsed. He wanted to say something, but he hesitated and said, "Yiyi, I'm afraid this trip will be wasted. As for Uncle Bai, I'm afraid I can't buy you these herbs."
Liu Yi Yi Yi was surprised and asked in surprise: "Uncle Bai, why is that so?" Could it be that you find the quality of our medicine inferior? "
"No, no, no." Uncle Bai quickly waved his hand and said, "The medicinal effects of the spiritual herbs produced by your spiritual field are definitely much higher than those on the market, but …"
"But what?" This was Liu Yiyi's first time on a mission down the mountain, so she was very concerned about the results. Upon hearing Uncle Bai's words, she immediately broke through to the bottom of her heart.
Sighing, a trace of bitterness surfaced on Uncle Bai's face. He raised his slightly aged hand and pointed at the empty shelf. "Look, is there anything different about this shelf?"
"Different places?" Liu Yiyi and Chen Feng simultaneously looked at the shelves. They saw some goods scattered on the slightly old shelves.
"It's not that different." Liu Yi Yi Yi's face was full of thoughts, but in the end, she still asked in confusion.
However, Chen Feng noticed something amiss. "That's not right. There is indeed something different. To be exact, the items on the shelves are really too few. "
After hearing Chen Feng's words, Liu Yiyi looked at the shelves again. Indeed, just as Chen Feng had said, there were very few goods on the shelves. There were even some shelves that were empty.
"What's going on?" Liu Yiyi asked. Even though she was a young girl, she knew that if a shop wanted to grow, there had to be enough goods. How could it be like the Return of Spring Hall where goods were so scarce?
A hint of hesitation flashed past Uncle Bai's face, but in the end, he sighed. He turned around and said to Chen Feng and Zhexiu, "You are my daughter's schoolmates. I won't hide this from you." The reason why the Return of Spring Hall has fallen to this stage is all because our alchemist is sick. "
"Is he sick?" Chen Feng also felt somewhat surprised. "Even an ordinary cultivator would not easily get sick, much less an alchemist who is constantly in contact with medicinal pills."
"That's right, we have to start from the Eastwood Town Alchemist Exchange Assembly." Uncle Bai smiled bitterly and didn't hide anything from them.
"Apothecary Exchange Conference?" Liu Yiyi's eyes lit up when she heard this.
Apothecary was an extremely mysterious occupation. In the Cloud Dragon Mountain Range, as long as one wore the title of an apothecary, he or she would be treated with respect by any of the major powers. Their Bi Luo Peak had once invited a pill refiner. However, the other party looked down on Bi Luo Feng and didn't agree.
Uncle Bai nodded. "That's right. Tomorrow is the 50-year Alchemist Exchange Assembly in Eastwood Town."
"Even though it's called the Exchange Hall, it's actually a competition between pill refiners. As long as you can get a good placing in the conference, you will have a lot of power in Eastwood Town."
"Ever since the incident fifty years ago, my Return of Spring Hall has been squeezed by many great pill stores, and every day is getting worse and worse. It looks like I can't hold on much longer." Therefore, my Eastwood Town's Master Tao of the Return of Spring Hall has decided to participate in this Pill Refiner's Exchange. If we can get a good rank, we might be able to pull the Hall of Spring back to make it a bit better. "
"However, during these few days, Master Tao had been trying too hard to perform better in the Alchemist Exchange Assembly. He had accumulated a lot of sickness and was unable to recover from his illness." Uncle Bai's eyes were filled with worry.
"Could it be that even though Master Tao is an alchemist, he is unable to cure his own illness?" Liu Yiyi said in disbelief. In her mind, apothecaries were extremely powerful. A single pill could cure a disease.
However, Chen Feng started to explain. "If Grandmaster Tao could cure it himself, then it wouldn't be such an illness."
"Tsk, you're not an apothecary, what do you know?" Liu Yiyi glanced at Chen Feng and said mischievously.
Regarding this, Chen Feng only smiled and did not explain.
"Chen Feng is right. Master Tao is indeed helpless against his illness." At this time, Uncle Bai rushed out to smooth things over. He bitterly said, "In order to treat Master Tao's illness, I have already spent all the wealth that the Return of Spring Hall had accumulated over the years. However, at this moment, for the sake of losing an opponent at the Alchemist Exchange Convention, how could the other alchemists do their best to save him? And just like that, Master Tao's condition is getting worse and worse, and it looks like he won't be able to live much longer. "
Liu Yiyi didn't say anything, but there was a faint mist in her blinking eyes.
Seeing Liu Yiyi's expression, Uncle Bai smiled apologetically and said: "This is also the reason why I can't purchase your medicinal ingredients. Ever since Master Tao became ill and unable to refine any more pills, the business in the shop plummeted. Now, we can only reluctantly rely on selling the original backlog of pills. "
"All these years, your Bi Luo Peak has taken care of my Return of Spring Hall, and the prices of all the spiritual medicines here aren't high. From now on, you guys should change partners. This way, you can also exchange more medicinal pills, which will allow your sect to develop more quickly. " At this point, Uncle Bai's face was filled with gratitude and helplessness.
Liu Yiyi's eyes were filled with sympathy. At this moment, she really wanted to give all the Spirit Grasses in her hands to Uncle Bai. However, she was only a disciple of Bi Luo Feng, so she couldn't make this decision.
At this moment, Chen Feng suddenly smiled. "Uncle Bai, if you trust me, then let me see Master Tao."
"You …" Clearly, Uncle Bai did not understand the meaning behind Chen Feng's words. He looked at Chen Feng with some suspicion.
Liu Yiyi also said in dissatisfaction, "Chen Feng, Master Tao's health is not good. Are you going to disturb him?"
Chen Feng did not answer Liu Yiyi. He only looked at Uncle Bai quietly, waiting for his decision.
Being stared at by Chen Feng, cold sweat broke out on Uncle Bai's face. At this moment, he felt that the person in front of him was not a 3rd level Qi Disciple youth, but a superior being. That formless dignity made him unable to resist.
"Alright, I'll take you there." Finally, Uncle Bai nodded. Under Chen Feng's gaze, he could not muster the courage to reject.
However, to his surprise, after he agreed to Chen Feng's request, an inexplicable sense of relief rose up in his heart. It was as if as long as this man in front of him was willing to make a move, he would be able to solve everything.
"Are you sure you're not joking?" Looking at the confident smile on Chen Feng's face, Liu Yiyi suddenly felt that Chen Feng was so mysterious. Unknowingly, she was deeply attracted to him.
Chen Feng chuckled and said to Uncle Bai, "Let's go."
