Digging up spiritual roots and seizing blood? You scumbags, wait and tremble.

With so many things moved from the Marquis’ Mansion last night, I imagine quite a few of them would contain spiritual energy.

First put the jade ruyi aside, then concentrate your mind on the divine cauldron and check the property of the marquis's mansion.

There are many jades that contain spiritual energy, but they cannot meet her requirements for promotion to the next level.

She set her eyes on the medicinal herbs. There were quite a few of them in the mansion, and they were good stuff, but these good stuff were like garbage to her.

There was no way, this was the lower plane, not her original world of cultivation.

She remembered that there was a very common Qi Gathering Pill that these herbs could be used for, but there were still some deficiencies.

She picked out all the things that were useful to her and took out all the jade artifacts that contained spiritual energy first.

The maid outside cleaned up the leftovers, the door closed, and the room became quiet.

Zhong Ran no longer hesitated, sat cross-legged and began to practice.

As she began to practice, strands of spiritual energy floated out from the jade and were consumed by her.

She was extremely fast, and in just over a quarter of an hour, she had absorbed all the spiritual energy in the jade.

She sensed her body and found that there was still a big difference.

Among them, there are more than ten jade stones, and the spiritual energy inside is equivalent to more than forty low-grade spirit stones. For ordinary cultivators, they can definitely be promoted to the first level of Qi Refining.

However, her physique is extremely weak and her skills seem to be special. The spiritual energy she needs is several times that of an ordinary person, and the difficulty of promotion is relatively high.

After finishing her training and seeing that it was getting dark outside, she paused and decided to go out and buy some medicinal herbs.

She was originally an alchemist. Although she has not yet advanced to the first level of Qi Refining, her bloodline is that of an atavistic person. Not only does she have a companion divine cauldron, she also has a companion flame.

She still hasn't figured out the level of the flame, but the ancestor of the Zhong family once commented that even if it can't reach the level of divine fire, it is at least at the level of holy fire.

Therefore, refining pills was still very easy for her, especially now it was just the most common Qi Gathering Pill.

Besides, she also has the divine cauldron, which can make pills by itself, which saves her trouble.

There are quite a few medicinal herbs in the Marquis' Mansion, but not enough to make the Qi Gathering Pill, so she needs to go outside to buy them.

Anyway, all the original property of the Marquis' Mansion is with her, and she can squander it at will.

The Qi Gathering Pill can not only assist her in her current stage of cultivation, but can also be given to Zhong Yan.

He is the legendary Devouring Divine Body. As long as he is given enough spiritual energy, he can be promoted.

So, she needs a lot of pills.

I got out of bed and walked out. It was very quiet outside and there was no servant.

After she walked out of the yard, there were servants walking around outside, but when they saw her, they all avoided her quietly.

She was also happy and at ease and walked outside.

Soon someone reported to Zhong Qingshan. Zhong Qingshan frowned and said immediately, "Send someone to follow her and see who she is in contact with."

She has been staying in the Marquis' Mansion since she returned to Beijing, and only went into the palace today.

Could it be that the theft in the Marquis' Mansion was really related to her? Did she really know some big thief and was now out to find him to share the loot?

If you follow her, you might be able to recover your stolen property.

Zhong Ran soon discovered that someone was following her, but she didn't care and just wandered around the street casually.

The capital city is very lively at night, and the shops on both sides of the street are open for business.

She looked around, and when she saw something interesting, she would go in to take a look, and then come out quickly.

Of course, she didn't buy anything.

There are so many good things in the Shending space. Apart from the resources for cultivation, she has no shortage of these mundane things.

Seeing a large pharmacy, she walked in.

The pharmacy was a little deserted at this time. Seeing someone coming in, a pharmacist quickly came over to greet them.

"Miss, do you want to get some medicine or see a doctor?"

"I need to get some medicine, do you have any?"

Zhong Ran stood in front of the counter and handed over the list of medicinal herbs he had written down.

After looking at it, the medicine boy replied, "Miss, we have all the medicines you want here, but they are a bit expensive."

"how much is it?"

"If I buy everything you want, it will cost at least 641 taels of silver."

More than six hundred taels of silver is not cheap at all, and an ordinary young lady cannot afford such a sum of money.

But Zhong Ran is now very wealthy, and there is no point in keeping the money. The right thing to do is to use it to improve her cultivation.

"Please help me pack."

Seeing that she agreed, the medicine boy immediately called his companions to help him prepare the medicine.

Seeing that a big business had come in at this time, the shopkeeper came over to check her list of medicinal materials and looked at it with great curiosity.

He was considered knowledgeable, but he couldn't figure out what kind of prescription these herbs were.

He couldn't help but look at Zhong Ran. She looked thin and small, probably a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old.

The clothes she wore were made of high-quality material, but her hair was simply tied up without any decoration.

Her face was covered by a veil and her true appearance could not be seen, but she exuded an aura that should not be underestimated.

"Miss, what's your name? What's the use of these herbs?"

Zhong Ran just nodded slightly, but had no interest in answering his question.

The shopkeeper was not embarrassed either. He chuckled twice and walked away.

Several medicine boys worked together to prepare the medicine very quickly, and it was a big bag of herbs.

"Girl, do you want me to take you there?"

Zhong Ran was a little troubled when looking at such a big bag of medicinal herbs. If it were in the original world, he could just put it into the storage bag.

But it won't work here. Once she reveals her identity, people will easily guess that the theft in the Marquis' Mansion is related to her.

"Well, please help me take you to the side door of Prince Ning's Mansion. I'll wait for you there."

Having said that, she paid the silver and walked out.

The people following her outside saw her go in, take a look around, and come out empty-handed, but they didn't care and continued to follow her from a distance.

Zhong Ran pretended to go to two more shops, then quietly shook off the people behind him, asked someone for the direction of Prince Ning's Mansion, and walked quickly towards there.

She was very quick, and by the time she got there, the people from the pharmacy had just arrived.

"Just put it here, thank you."

The medicine boy left the herbs behind, said goodbye and left.

After they left, Zhong Ran put the herbs into the sacred tripod and quickly walked towards the Marquis' Mansion.

As for arriving at the door, should we go in and see Prince Ning?

She didn't have such a hobby and had no feelings for her nominal fiancé.

Whether he lived or died was none of her business.

The guard who had followed her and escaped before had been guarding near the door. Only when he saw her come back did he hurried to report to Zhong Qingshan.

"She was just wandering around, nothing special?" Zhong Qingshan frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable because he didn't get the result he wanted.

The guard nodded and said, "The young lady would go into every shop to look around, sometimes even asking about the prices, and then walk out again."

"He only asked about the price, nothing else?" Zhong Qingshan pressed on, "Could it be some code word?"

The guards shook their heads blankly. They really didn't know this.
