Chapter 38: The Search for Herbs
I saw this sentence written on the note: Shijie, your trip to Yunnan this time will not be very smooth, there are opportunities and dangers, originally we shouldn't tell you these things, but because of Ye Xiaoqian's appearance, you must be careful, remember not to trust anyone, and don't underestimate anyone, especially a few famous people, especially the Miao people.

After Chen Shijie's inquiry, the Miao people belong to a small number of famous ethnic groups, they delve into all kinds of strange insects, and everyone in the world knows a strange book called 'Cup', which is very magical, but it is also very incomprehensible.
The world has looked down on all the small animals, and in their hands they have exerted countless abilities that make people tremble. Gu magicians were once frightened for a while, but fortunately, the Miao people are not a few famous people who kill them, and they develop Gu art just to protect themselves, but the world is everywhere, and the appearance of 'Gu' has ensured the safety of the Miao people, but there are also vicious people who have mastered this kind of thaumaturgy and endangered the world.
There are still some horrors about Gu Technique Chen Shijie, it is nothing more than a reason, and it is also the most essential horror of the existence of unknown things, but he believes that as long as he does not encounter any particularly powerful Gu Magician, with his strength, there should not be too much danger.
After carefully thinking about the itinerary for two days, Chen Shijie took off his clothes and went back to bed and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Chen Shijie called to find Long Jitian and asked if there was a spiritual herb for sale in Macheng, and the answer he got made him stunned.
"There is no monopoly on the materials needed by alchemists here, only in cities like Wuhan will there be special stores for sale, but some spirit grasses will be collected by ordinary people, you may find something when you go to the Chinese medicine store to find it!"
There was no way, Chen Shijie was originally going to refine some special pills before going to Yunnan to deal with unexpected needs. In the last cooperation with Shi Lao, there were not many special pills, even some detoxification pills, this time was a little anxious, I had to find enough medicinal materials in the morning, and the refining was completed in the afternoon, and after a good night's sleep, I was on the road.
According to Long Jitian's proposal, they went to several pharmacies, although they found some spirit grass, but they were all yellow rank first-class products, and they were not well preserved, and the price was still expensive, so Chen Shijie didn't buy it, and he still didn't get anything after two hours of busy work.
At this time, they found a Chinese herbal medicine wholesaler, and this place happened to be sorting out the collected herbs, seeing Chen Shijie and their arrival, the person in charge here found out, and came over and asked: "Do you need to buy fresh herbs when you come here?" We have a full range of Chinese herbs here and definitely have what our guests need. ”
Chen Shijie and Long Jitian glanced at each other, the spiritual herbs and elixirs they were looking for were partially included in the secular world, and the medicinal properties also corresponded to some diseases, which were relatively rare, and the price was expensive.
Therefore, Chen Shijie's idea was to find some medicinal materials that they couldn't distinguish with great certainty, and see if they could pick up some leaks, after all, some rare spirit grasses would definitely be found if they were not searched, and a certain amount of luck was needed.
After making up his mind, he asked, "Do you have any of those things here that you can't distinguish but can definitely be medicinal herbs, my father needs some rare and unconventional medicinal herbs, I hope to find some from you." ”
Listening to Chen Shijie's words, the person in charge was obviously stunned, and looked at him with a very puzzled look, but out of the nature of a businessman, he suddenly discovered a business opportunity, hey, didn't this kid say that my father needs some rare medicinal materials, it seems that the herbs collected by those medicine farmers may be wasted, and by the way, let me make a little money!
However, out of the price of sitting on the ground, the person in charge still frowned slightly, "The herbs that guests need are too rare compared to them, we may not have them here, and if they do, the price will be very high, are you sure you want to take a look?" ”
Oh, this guy is really sitting on the ground, but it's better to go over and take a look, maybe there is something special to gain! In Chen Shijie's opinion, the elixir in the cultivation world was just a weed in the eyes of these people, and the price was not set by themselves at that time.
"Okay, as long as we can find the herbs we need, the price is not a problem!" At the same time, Chen Shijie also vaguely said that there would be a return afterwards, and the person in charge who got the news had no worries, and took Chen Shijie and the two of them straight to the treatment of non-medicinal herbs.
"Xiao Liu, I'll bring guests over to take a look at the things here, there may be some rare herbs that are regarded as weeds, you have to treat them well." The person in charge walked over and whispered something next to Xiao Liu, and after getting the order, Xiao Liu also nodded violently.
After the order, the person in charge turned around and said to Chen Shijie: "I have finished instructing here, if the guest finds any herbs, tell Xiao Liu directly, and we will talk about the price at that time." ”
After saying that, he walked outside, today was the day of herb collection, and there were still many things he needed to deal with, and he didn't have much time to entertain them.
After the person in charge left, Chen Shijie walked up, and Xiao Liu, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly made two cups of tea and brought them over, "If the guests need anything to see, as long as you like it, you can go and tell our person in charge." ”
Chen Shijie nodded, took the teacup, and motioned for Long Jitian to follow, and walked into the warehouse here.
It's dark in the warehouse, because it's been very busy here these days, and the weeds that have been dealt with haven't had time to deal with it in time, so there are still a lot of things in this warehouse, and when Xiao Liu turns on the lights, everything here is lit up.
"Guests take a look for themselves first, and when they find something, they will come and tell me that there are still a lot of things here, so I'll go and get busy for a while." Xiao Liu asked Chen Shijie's opinion, and after getting the promise, he left quickly.
Although the person in charge told him to greet good guests, but there are too many things, if his task is not completed in order to greet them, then he will still be punished in the end, anyway, there are too many weeds in this warehouse, even if you want to see it, you can't finish it without half a day.
And Chen Shijie's idea is that if Xiao Liu follows them, then it will not be so easy for him to do something small, in his opinion, everything stored here is full of weeds anyway, and it doesn't matter if he takes some of it himself.
After Xiao Liu left the warehouse, he sensed it around and found that there was no one else, slightly covered up the door of the warehouse, and beckoned the weeds that were separated from the dragon and the sky, as early as after entering the warehouse, he saw several kinds of spirit grass, and the excitement that he secretly suppressed now completely exploded.
