The beauty of the Hou family and the king's plan

Qingfeng turned around and saw a pretty girl with a smile on her face standing in front of him.

Shen Baozhao's heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect to meet her senior brother today. To be more precise, she was not ready to meet the senior brothers and sisters from the Poison Star Valley.

The eldest senior brother still looks cold and aloof when he sees outsiders, and even when he doesn't speak, he looks like a banished immortal.

There was no sign of him in his previous life, when he watched her refine the Heart Protecting Pill, with his hair disheveled and shouting "monster" at her like a madman.

Shen Baozhao turned sideways and made a "please" gesture, letting Qingfeng go first.

But Qingfeng flicked the nonexistent dust off his robe and sat down without a care in the world, making Zhaocai not sure whether to leave or stay.

To Qingfeng at this moment, Shen Baozhao was just a strange little girl. Although she was pretty, she was not enough to stop him from leaving.

The reason why he stayed was naturally because he heard the three words "Tianfeng Ye".

Qingfeng had also heard from his master that medicinal herbs such as Tianfeng leaves were rare treasures from heaven and earth.

It usually grows on cliffs in deep mountains. Even if you are lucky enough to see it, it is extremely difficult to pick and preserve.

The moment you pick it, you have to keep it covered with ice, otherwise it will easily wither and lose its medicinal properties.

It is said that the rhizome of Tianfeng leaf is very effective in treating leg injuries, so Qingfeng thought that the prince of Lu was waiting for him to treat him.

Although he had some pills left by his master, as well as the secret black jade bone-setting ointment, he also wanted to see the rare Tianfeng leaf. It would be great if he could buy it.

The last time Shen Baozhao went to Yaowang Temple to buy Golden Crow Fruit, Manager Qin liked Shen Baozhao very much as this frank and generous customer.

As soon as he saw her coming, he hurried forward to invite her into the hall and ordered someone to serve tea.

Shen Baozhao didn't beat around the bush and asked Shopkeeper Qin directly: "Shopkeeper, did Feng Ye go to the Medicine King Palace that day?"

Precious medicinal materials like these are traded directly between buyers and sellers, and the Medicine King Palace usually only charges a 10% commission.

The Golden Crow Fruit was also purchased from a Western Region caravan. Shen Baozhao made the transaction with the caravan leader face to face, and the commission was paid by the seller.

Shen Baozhao originally thought that Feng Ye would be the same today as last time, but obviously not.

Shopkeeper Qin rubbed his hands and whispered beside Shen Baozhao: "Miss Shen, the owner of the Tianfeng Leaf was eager to sell it, so Yaowang Hall bought it directly.

Therefore, you can now trade directly with our Medicine King Palace."

The Medicine King Palace has always been willing to purchase rare treasures as soon as they are seen. If there is a buyer, the buyer and seller will be allowed to trade directly. If there is no buyer, the seller will not be left empty-handed.

Therefore, if there are precious medicinal materials to sell, the first place people will think of is the Medicine King Hall.

"Shopkeeper Qin, do you mean that the Phoenix Leaf is already in the hands of Medicine King Palace?" Shen Baozhao's eyes seemed to be lit up, and he looked at Shopkeeper Qin with sparkling eyes.

Shopkeeper Qin smiled and nodded. "The Tianfeng leaves are in the ice cellar of the Medicine King Hall. If Miss Shen wants to inspect the goods first, you can follow me into the inner courtyard ice cellar to take a look."

After saying that, Shen Baozhao stood up and followed Manager Qin into the inner courtyard.

Qingfeng didn't say anything, but he didn't lag behind. He walked behind Shen Baozhao, not too far away.

Shen Baozhao was still wondering why the eldest senior brother followed her. Could it be that he had been discovered to have taken the pills from Zhaocai?

Absolutely impossible! According to the character of the eldest brother, if he really found out that it was her who did it, he would have started to make trouble a long time ago. How could he wait so long?

Without thinking too much, they soon arrived at the entrance of the ice cellar.

The ice cellar was like the storehouse of the Medicine King Palace, with bodyguards guarding it on all sides.

These escorts are all kept by the Medicine King Palace for emergency use, and the Bagua Formation has been set up in the inner courtyard of the Medicine King Palace.

If someone is so foolish as to steal the medicine, he will be skinned alive if not killed.

When Shopkeeper Qin saw Qingfeng Yaojun following him, he did not stop him. Are you kidding? Poison Star Valley is an old supplier of Yaowang Palace.

In the beginning, the Medicine King Palace was able to gain a reputation in Kyoto and stand out among the numerous pharmacies, largely due to the pills from the Poison Star Valley.

Later, slowly more and more drug dealers were willing to sell some hard-to-find medicinal materials to the Medicine King Palace.

The reputation of Medicine King Hall has been getting better and better over the years, which has gradually led to its current status.

Therefore, the relationship between Poison Star Valley and Medicine King Palace is not just that of a supplier and a merchant. It is more like a horse trainer and a thousand-mile horse, who appreciate each other.

As soon as you enter the ice cellar, a gust of cold air hits you in the face.

The ice cellar was very large. Walking down the steps from the door, one could see candlesticks embedded on the surrounding walls. They must have been lit as ordered by Shopkeeper Qin.

The ice cellar is as bright as day. Standing on the steps, it is very spacious and you can take in the entire ice cellar.

The entire ice cellar is lined with rows of medicine cabinets, which contain medicinal materials or pills that need to be preserved at extremely low temperatures.

Shen Baozhao saw that this ice cellar was no different from that in her previous life, so she did not look around curiously.

She was not curious, but Qingfeng behind her was curious.

Whose girl is this? She seems so used to seeing the full ice cellar of medicinal herbs in Medicine King Palace?

Judging from the tone of Shopkeeper Qin, this Miss Shen is also coming here for the first time.

Even though he was used to seeing his master's pharmacy in the Poison Star Valley, he couldn't help but admire it when he went down to the ice cellar for the first time.

She could actually remain motionless like a mountain? She even knew about the rare treasure of Tianfeng Ye.

I will definitely ask Shopkeeper Qin about this girl's family background later. Is she also from a medical family?

Qingfeng was guessing that Manager Qin had already brought the two of them to the southernmost part of the entire ice cellar.

Gently turning the candlestick on the wall, the medicine cabinet that seemed to cover the entire wall slowly opened, and it turned out that there was a dark room inside.

The temperature in the dark room was even lower. There was no candle lit, but a fist-sized luminous pearl was placed there.

After several people entered the dark room, Shopkeeper Qin slowly closed the medicine cabinet again.

Fearing that Shen Baozhao, a young lady in the boudoir, would be worried, he explained, "Miss Shen, the storage conditions of Tianfeng leaves are very demanding and cannot be affected by the temperature at all.

There are also some herbs outside that are incompatible with it, so it can only be placed in this dark room."

Shen Baozhao pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled: "It's okay."

Shopkeeper Qin knows a lot about Tianfeng Ye and it seems he has done a lot of research on it.

When she came, she was still nervous, fearing that the Medicine King Palace had not preserved the Tianfeng Leaf well, thus damaging its medicinal properties.

The huge medicine cabinet was closed, and the brightness of the night pearl was enough for several people to see clearly in the dark room.

Shopkeeper Qin carefully took out a wooden box from a box carved out of ice and wiped the white frost on the outside of the box with cotton cloth.

He placed it on the Eight Immortals Table where the Night Pearl was, took out the key from his sleeve, and with a "click", he opened the small copper lock on the wooden box.

Qingfeng and Shen Baozhao both came forward, and Shopkeeper Qin slowly opened the wooden box.

The true appearance of the Tianfeng leaf inside was revealed.
