CHAPTER 155: CHAPTER 155 MYSTICAL MEDICINE BOOK

The Jade Marrow Pill requires Golden Crow Shells, Wind Breath Grass, Su Zi, Ilex Vine, and Ginkgo Nuts for its concoction.

Among these five medicinal ingredients, Su Zi, Ilex Vine, and Ginkgo Nuts are all Mortal Medicines, which are available in stock at the Purple Cloud Alchemy Hall, and Xin Lin could purchase them merely by paying money.

"What lacks are the Golden Crow Shell and Wind Breath Grass; both are Jade Medicines. Particularly the Golden Crow Shell, it is from a Fourth-level Spiritual Beast, and its egg shell is a Middle-stage Jade Medicine, which is not commonly found."

Jiang Qing did not show any displeasure towards Xin Lin’s "trickery"; his attitude remained very cordial, causing the nearby shop assistants to stare in awe.

The Shopkeeper’s manner towards those young mistresses and madams of Purple Cloud City was never this favorable; why then does he show special favor to this unremarkable little fellow.

Having said that, Jiang Qing ordered the staff to bring over the other three ingredients, calculated the price, which amounted to 1,300 silver taels.

"Just these Mortal Medicines are so expensive, running a pharmacy really makes money."

Xin Lin marveled, thinking even Bone Marrow Cleansing Powder was just so-so, but regretfully the Opportunity Dice wasn’t cooperating, after several turns, it only churned out a Jade Marrow Pill recipe.

However, after chatting with Jiang Qing, Xin Lin vaguely understood something about Longteng’s medicines.

The elixir pills here seem to be categorized into several levels including Mortal and Jade, as for what lies above Jade level remains unknown.

"Shopkeeper Jiang, where can I find the remaining two medicinal ingredients?"

The time left for Silly Chu is running short, the longer it takes, the harder it becomes to cleanse the poison in his body.

"For Wind Breath Grass, outside Purple Cloud City lies Qin Mountain, which grows some Wind Breath Grass. However, that area is not safe, and even cultivators at the Martial Master Level hesitate to venture there alone."

Jiang Qing smiled, Xin Lin’s punch earlier was quite powerful, but this didn’t mean she has become a Martial Master,

Given her young age, seeing such a Martial Master in Purple Cloud City would be rare.

Purple Cloud Alchemy Hall procures a batch of Wind Breath Grass every three months, mainly purchasing from cultivators within the city; the last batch has just sold out, and it would be another three months before the next. Xin Lin’s timing was indeed unfortunate.

"What about the Golden Crow Egg Shells?"

Xin Lin gazed eagerly at Jiang Qing, her big watery eyes staring intensely, making Jiang Qing feel almost unable to refuse.

"Just recently, Longteng Palace acquired some Golden Crow Egg Shells, that’s all I can tell you."

Longteng Palace... that could be tricky, not a place someone like her, a civilian, could easily enter.

Xin Lin frowned, her small face full of worry.

"Xin, I have another question for you. Before your father died, except for the Bone Marrow Cleansing Powder, did he leave you anything else?"

Jiang Qing asked in a casual tone, as if he queried without much thought,

But Xin was cautious, sensing an implied meaning in Jiang Qing’s words.

"Why would Shopkeeper Jiang ask this?"

"Your father was the personal guard of Grand Doctor Chu, who surely must have heard about the Medical Scripture titled ’Mystical Medicine Book’. Since Grand Doctor Chu’s incident five years ago, the whereabouts of that Pharmacopoeia have been unclear. If you know about this book’s whereabouts, please inform Jiang. I am willing to pay a high price for it."

Jiang Qing bowed politely with folded hands.

A medical book from the cheap father?

Just by hearing its name, it sounds impressive; Xin decided to go back and have a serious chat about life with her cheap father, perhaps she might even tease out the whereabouts of that Pharmacopoeia from him.
