—------------------—
When leaving the Skyfire Plain, all of Xiao Mu's spirit rings were over ten thousand years old.
After obtaining the second and third soul rings, Xiao Mu's first soul ring had room to grow.
On the way out of the Skyfire Plain, they encountered a few unlucky Rock-Swallowing Fire Lizards, which made due contributions to the increase in the age of Xiao Mu's first soul ring.
Before entering the Tianhuo Plain, Xiao Mu and Zhan Kaishan left their carriage in a nearby village. After retrieving the carriage, the three continued on their journey.
However, the driver changed from Zhan Kaishan to Huo Yuan.
Contra has no human rights, Huo Yuan sighed as he sat on the shaft of the cart.
Which sect would be so extravagant as to use Contra as a coachman?
It took more than ten days to travel from Tianhuo Plain to Tiandou City.
Xiao Mu felt that the carriage was gradually slowing down, and the sound of Huo Yuan came from outside the carriage.
"Palace Master, we have arrived at Tiandou City."
Xiao Mu lifted the car curtain and looked forward.
"We're finally here. Tiandou City is indeed different from those small cities along the way. It's perfect for our Soul Palace to establish itself."
Xiao Mu instructed Huo Yuan:
"Huo Protector, first go to Tiandou City and find a large house to serve as the headquarters of our Soul Palace for the next period of time."
"Yes, Palace Master."
Huo Yuan responded and entered Tiandou City one step ahead.
Huo Yuan already knew that the Soul Palace she was in was a new force that had not yet established a sect, but she did not feel like she was on a pirate ship.
With Zhan Kaishan and Xiao Mu around, the Soul Palace's reputation will surely spread throughout the Douluo Continent in the future.
If she had any concerns, it was whether the Spirit Hall, whose name was the same as hers, would be unhappy about it.
Houses in Tiandou City are not cheap. Thanks to the contributions of the Canglan City Auction House and the Kamino Family, the Soul Palace has the starting capital.
Otherwise, Xiao Mu would have to find a way to raise money.
"Zhan Tianzun, let's go to the pharmacy in Tiandou City and take a look."
Things like robbing money cannot be done again and again. Xiao Mu has the ability to make pills. In the future, pills will become the foundation of the Soul Palace and an important source of reputation.
"yes."
After the two entered the city, they asked around and found out the locations of several large pharmacies in Tiandou City.
Xiao Mu chose a nearby one.
"The rejuvenation medicine shop is right here."
As soon as Xiao Mu walked into the pharmacy, a young man came up to greet him.
"Are you here to see a doctor or get some medicine?"
"To get medicine, can your pharmacy provide medicinal materials in bulk?" Xiao Mu asked.
"Yes, of course." The waiter showed a happy expression, knowing that he had met a big customer.
Xiao Mu listed a few medicinal herbs: "Wind-Winging Herb, Dingyang Branch, Nine-Leaf Paris... Do you have any of these in your store?"
Most of the medicinal herbs that Xiao Mubao reported were needed to refine low-level soul power-increasing pills.
The waiter said, "Except for the Nine-Leaf Fritillaria, we have all other herbs in our store. How much do you need?"
"Give me 20 kilograms, provided the herbs in your shop are of good quality."
"Rest assured, the quality of the herbs in our Rejuvenating Pharmacy is among the best in all of Tiandou City. You can inspect them yourself, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
The young man was very enthusiastic. Among the herbs that Xiao Mu wanted, some were quite expensive, so he was definitely a big customer.
The clerk led Xiao Mu into the yard behind the pharmacy.
"Doctor Fang, this guest requires a large amount of medicinal herbs."
In the backyard, an old man with a short beard was carefully selecting medicinal herbs. He slowly looked up when he heard the waiter's words.
"My humble name is Fang Baicao. What medicinal herbs does this guest need?"
Without Xiao Mu's answer, the waiter told Fang Baicao the herbs he needed.
"Well, come with me."
Fang Baicao walked in front with his hands behind his back. Every room in the yard was used to store medicinal materials, and they were stored in different categories according to the main, secondary, auxiliary and adjuvant ingredients, and the conflicting properties of the medicines.
Based on this alone, Xiao Mu could tell that the Rejuvenation Pharmacy was not the kind of pharmacy that fooled people.
"Well, these herbs are old enough, and their medicinal properties are well preserved."
"Huh?"
Xiao Mu's method of identifying the medicinal properties of medicinal herbs was efficient and accurate, and Fang Baicao felt that he had never seen it before.
Xiao Mu's analysis and comments on each medicinal ingredient were flawless, and it was obvious that he had a deep understanding of medicinal herbs.
"Is this young man also a doctor?"
Fang Baicao is not only the doctor of the rejuvenation medicine shop, but also the owner of the shop. His family is a medical family with hundreds of years of tradition in Tiandou City.
He was very interested in Xiao Mu's magical method of identifying medicinal herbs. If he could learn this method, he wouldn't have to spend a lot of time screening medicinal herbs.
Xiao Mu replied, "I guess so."
Alchemists can also cure diseases, and they can cure diseases that ordinary doctors cannot.
Fang Baicao added, "I have a humble request. Could you please teach me your method of identifying medicinal herbs? I will definitely reward you handsomely."
Xiao Mu chuckled.
"Since Doctor Fang knows the value of the art of identifying medicinal herbs, he should understand that this art should not be passed on lightly. Are you willing to pass on your precious prescriptions and medical classics to others?"
Fang Baicao quickly bowed and said, "I was reckless. Please forgive me, young friend. As an apology, I will sell the herbs you selected at a 30% discount."
Fang Baicao has a very good personality. He was not angry because Xiao Mu did not teach him how to identify medicinal herbs. Instead, he felt very sorry.
"Thank you, Doctor Fang."
Xiao Mu did not refuse Fang Baicao's kindness.
After buying all the herbs, Xiao Mu was about to leave when Fang Baicao suddenly chased him out from the backyard.
"I heard from the waiter that you need Nine-leaf Fritillaria. This medicinal herb is only sold by the Haitang Ye family in the entire Tiandou City. You might as well go to the Haitang Pharmacy to buy it."
"Thank you, Doctor Fang, for the reminder."
As the saying goes, competitors are enemies.
They all run pharmacies. Fang Baicao was able to remind Xiao Mu, which shows that he is a good person.
"By the way, are you staying in Tiandou City? I'll definitely visit you when I have time."
Xiao Mu said, "I will be in Tiandou City for a while, but I'm still looking for a place to stay. I'll come back when I need medicinal herbs."
"Doctor Fang, goodbye."
"Goodbye." Fang Baicao watched Xiao Mu go away.
"Doctor Fang, you have connections with many nobles in Tiandou City. If you want to obtain the method of identifying medicinal herbs from that young man, you should have a lot of tricks to use, right?"
"Shut up." Fang Baicao glared at the other guy who was speaking.
"We run a pharmacy to treat illnesses and save lives, not bandits. If I hear you say that again, you can't stay here."
The guy apologized quickly.
"I'm just saying that, please don't chase me away."
Fang Baicao's expression looked better then.
"There are herbs and prescriptions I can't get. Do I have to rob them all? As a doctor, you should just focus on treating patients and saving lives. Don't think about those crooked ways."
"I see."
The guy lowered his head in shame.
…
"Palace Master, I have found a mansion and a manor in the western part of Tiandou City and the southern suburbs respectively. Both are suitable for the Soul Palace's headquarters in Tiandou City. Which one do you think is more suitable?"
Shortly after leaving the pharmacy, Huo Yuan rushed over to report.
"Lead the way, and see for yourself first."
"As you command."
