"Shopkeeper, is this Spirit Star Grass really priced at one silver coin?" Baili Hongzhuang suppressed her excitement and calmly asked.
Ji Wenbin nodded, "Yes, Spirit Star Grass has never been in high demand. I only kept it because it's relatively rare. If you want it, I can just give it to you."
Upon hearing this, Baili Hongzhuang felt a sudden surge of happiness. Spirit Star Grass was an essential ingredient in many medicinal pills. In the past, it would have been a highly sought-after treasure at auctions!
How could it have become worthless in this era? These people really didn't know its value!
"Thank you, but I'll buy it." Baili Hongzhuang smiled and continued, "Besides that, I also need White Dew Grass and Fairy Maiden Herb..."
"Please wait, I'll help you gather the herbs," Ji Wenbin offered with a smile.
It wasn't until they left Wan Yao Fang (Pharmacy) that Baili Hongzhuang truly believed she had bought the Spirit Star Grass for just one silver coin!
"Ever since I transmigrated, this world has become so fantastical," Baili Hongzhuang mused inwardly, unable to contain her joy as her lips curved upward. It was truly a stroke of luck!
From her conversation with Ji Wenbin, she learned that many ancient medicinal recipes had been lost over the past thousand years. The quantity of medicinal pills had significantly decreased, and alchemists were highly revered.
Knowing this, Baili Hongzhuang felt even better. While others were unaware of these ancient recipes, she had the knowledge!
As a result, the precious herbs she needed would be uncontested, like a pie falling from the sky!
"But even if it's a pie, you still need money!" Baili Hongzhuang frowned. She originally planned to refine a Concentrated Qi Pill to accelerate her cultivation. She had bought some herbs, but she was still missing the Bone Spirit Flower, which was quite expensive. In addition to the money needed to purchase a pill furnace, her savings were simply insufficient.
She had always been confined to the General's Manor, and the rewards were never directly given to her. Consequently, her accumulated savings amounted to only five gold coins, making her quite impoverished.
"Poor people really can't endure much!" Baili Hongzhuang sighed. The most pressing matter at hand was to earn more money. Otherwise, her plans would be impossible to carry out.
When it came to money, the handsome yet unscrupulous face of the Crown Prince came to Baili Hongzhuang's mind again. If he had given her a hundred gold coins, she wouldn't be in such dire straits now!
Taking a moment to order a silver needle at the blacksmith's shop, Baili Hongzhuang realized how desperately she needed money. She decided to return to the General's Manor.
However, as she walked, Baili Hongzhuang's expression suddenly changed. She sensed that someone was following her!
She increased her pace and headed towards a small alley, wanting to see who was tracking her!
Turning at a street corner, Baili Hongzhuang's figure abruptly vanished.
"Huh? Where did she go?"
"She was just here a moment ago. If we lose sight of her, it'll be disastrous for us since she's someone that the Crown Prince is interested in!"
On the rooftop, Baili Hongzhuang looked down indifferently at the two individuals anxiously searching below, appearing like ants on a hot pan. A mocking light flickered in her eyes.
These two were familiar to her. They were Prince Yuanyuan's followers who had often ridiculed and bullied her for days on end.
Thump! Thump!
With a swift movement, Baili Hongzhuang leaped, and in an instant, two resounding thumps echoed as Zhang Ping and Song Ji were swiftly rendered unconscious by her.
