"Here we are, Steward Wu. This young master wants to buy medicinal herbs for refining pills. Please take care of him." After passing through several long counters, the large man handed Lu Shaoyou over to an old man around fifty years old and then stepped back.
"Young master, what kind of herbs do you need?" The old steward, dressed in a long robe, had a sharp look in his eyes as he looked at Lu Shaoyou and asked.
"Everything is here. Give me two sets of each." Lu Shaoyou said. Originally, he only wanted to buy one set, but now with fifty gold coins, he could afford two. This extra set gave him some other ideas.
"Alright, young master, please wait a moment. I'll get your herbs ready." The old steward said, looking at Lu Shaoyou with some surprise. Buying herbs for refining pills, this young man might be a Spirit Practitioner, so he became even more courteous.
"Alright." Lu Shaoyou replied lightly, then leaned against a counter, surveying the entire Tianbao Gate.
"Master, why are you buying herbs for refining pills? Where did you get the gold coins? I heard these herbs are very expensive." Lu Xiaobai whispered nervously to Lu Shaoyou.
"Don't worry, you don't have to pay the gold coins." Lu Shaoyou said, his gaze shifting to the side where two familiar figures appeared. They were none other than Miss Dugu Binglan and the maid Cuìyù he had met in the Lu family's back garden yesterday.
"Miss." The two women walked over slowly, and all the staff at Tianbao Gate respectfully bowed. Then their gazes fell on Lu Shaoyou.
Seeing Miss Dugu again, Lu Shaoyou took a closer look. Miss Dugu was quite beautiful, with a lively and intelligent expression. After nodding slightly, he shifted his gaze but glanced a few more times at the maid named Cuìyù.
The two women seemed somewhat surprised, then lowered their heads and whispered to each other.
"Master Lu, I didn't expect to see you at Tianbao Gate." A moment later, Dugu Binglan walked up to Lu Shaoyou, a faint fragrance wafting over. The people at Tianbao Gate were surprised to see that Lu Shaoyou and Miss Dugu were acquainted.
At this moment, Lu Xiaobai, standing behind Lu Shaoyou, trembled nervously as Miss Dugu approached. Hearing her words, he was puzzled. How could Miss Dugu and Master be acquainted? He had no idea. He thought to himself, no wonder Master was uninterested in seeing Miss Dugu yesterday; they were already acquainted. Other readers are currently reading: "Yan Yun" full text reading.
"Miss Dugu, I just needed to buy some herbs for refining pills, so I came here. I didn't expect to see you, it's an honor." Lu Shaoyou said lightly.
"That's strange. Why didn't Master Lu get the herbs from your own family's shop?" Miss Dugu smiled faintly, her beauty enhanced by the smile.
"Would Miss Dugu refuse to sell me the herbs?" Lu Shaoyou smiled slightly, not showing any emotion.
"Of course not, you are most welcome." Miss Dugu immediately smiled and added, "Master Lu, are you a Spirit Practitioner?"
"Um..."
"Master, your herbs are ready." At that moment, Steward Wu handed two palm-sized packages to Lu Shaoyou.
"Miss." Steward Wu bowed upon seeing Dugu Binglan.
"Let's settle the account." Lu Shaoyou handed the packages to Lu Xiaobai.
"Master, the total is thirty-eight gold coins." Steward Wu said.
"Steward Wu, give Master Lu a twenty percent discount. From now on, Lu Shaoyou will be our VIP, and we should treat him well." Dugu Binglan said softly.
"Yes, Miss." Steward Wu respectfully replied, then said to Lu Shaoyou, "Since Master Lu is a friend of Miss Dugu, the total will be thirty gold coins."
"Thank you, Miss Dugu." Lu Shaoyou nodded and smiled at Dugu Binglan, then took out thirty gold coins from his fragrant money bag and handed them to Steward Wu. Saving eight gold coins, he wasn't about to be polite, especially since he was short on money. Other readers are currently reading: "You Are My Demon Prince" txt download.
"Master Lu, this is the VIP card of Tianbao Gate. Please keep it. In the future, if you need anything, with this VIP card, Tianbao Gate will prioritize your requests and offer better prices. We can also share information, and if you have any pills to sell, we will give you the best price." Dugu Binglan extended a white jade card with "Tianbao Gate" inscribed on it to Lu Shaoyou.
"Thank you again." Lu Shaoyou didn't hesitate to accept the jade card. He wasn't one to refuse benefits. As for why Dugu Binglan was being so nice to him, he had some suspicions but didn't dwell on them.
There's an old saying: "When someone offers you something for nothing, it's either a trick or a trap." He didn't have anything worth stealing, so it must be a trick. He didn't mind that. Thinking this, he even smiled slyly.
"Goodbye." Lu Shaoyou nodded and walked out, nodding politely to the maid Cuìyù as he passed her.
"Master, where did you get the gold coins? And how do you know Miss Dugu?" Lu Xiaobai asked as they left Tianbao Gate.
"Why do you ask so many questions? Let's go back, and don't tell anyone about my buying the herbs." Lu Shaoyou said.
"Miss, who is this person? He doesn't seem special. Is it too much to value him?" After Lu Shaoyou left, the steward's eyes gleamed as he asked Dugu Binglan.
"This person is not simple. Send someone to investigate his background and treat him well in the future." Dugu Binglan said, then left Tianbao Gate with the maid Cuìyù.
Walking through the streets, Lu Shaoyou and Lu Xiaobai returned home, quietly entering through the back door of the Lu family. No one noticed their absence for the whole morning. After all, a low-level servant and a waste of a young master were not worth anyone's attention. A good novel: "It's Not My Fault I'm a Transvestite."
"This kid is quite capable." The old servant looked at the two packages in Lu Xiaobai's hands and thought to himself.
In the afternoon, Lu Shaoyou and Lu Xiaobai made a brief appearance at the Lu family, then returned to their respective rooms. There wasn't much to do in the cold winter.
As night fell, Lu Shaoyou was already prepared and went to the secret room in the woodshed, where Uncle Nan was already waiting.
"Uncle Nan, I've bought all the herbs you need." Lu Shaoyou smiled proudly at Uncle Nan.
"Why did you buy two sets?" Uncle Nan asked as he opened the herbs.
"In case you fail, I bought an extra set. If you succeed, we can refine an extra pill." Lu Shaoyou explained. The pills should be much more valuable than the herbs. Selling them would earn him some money.
"With me here, if you fail to refine a first-grade pill, you might as well bang your head against the wall." Uncle Nan looked at Lu Shaoyou and said, "You've practiced the Mountain Splitting Palm for a few days. Show me how it's going."
"Yes." Lu Shaoyou put away his smile. He had practiced the Mountain Splitting Palm for a few days and felt he had made some progress. He took a deep breath, recited the incantation, and formed a somewhat mysterious hand seal. Then, a faint wave of air rippled from his palms.
"Swish..."
With a light sound, Lu Shaoyou struck the stone wall in the secret room. The wall trembled, and a cloud of dust fell.
Lu Shaoyou was surprised by the power of his strike. He hadn't expected it to be so strong. If he hit a person, he could probably knock them flying.
