The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

The next morning, Su Qingning found Dean Wu Yue early and went to the Imperial College's pharmacy under his guidance.

The two walked out of the Pharmacist Branch until they reached the dense forest behind the medicinal fields planted together with the Medical Branch. Only then did Wu Yue slowly stop.

There was a lush forest in front of her. When Su Qingning was wondering where the medicine store was, four figures suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of her.

The four middle-aged men didn't say much, just nodded lightly at Wu Yue, then one of them raised his hand and quickly made a few complicated hand seals, and then the medicine store slowly appeared.

Seeing this scene, a hint of surprise flashed in Su Qingning's eyes. No wonder she couldn't find the location of the medicine storehouse in the Pharmacist Branch before. It turned out that the medicine storehouse was not in the Pharmacist Branch at all, and it was hidden by a formation.

Only then did Su Qingning realize that this lush forest was just an illusion used to hide the medicine storehouse.

The dense forest disappeared, replaced by a huge attic; the door of the medicine storehouse looked very majestic, three meters high and four meters wide.

There were two gear-shaped mechanisms on the door. Su Qingning noticed that the two people who came forward to open the mechanism started turning the gears at the same time; the one on the left first turned clockwise three times, then turned counterclockwise five times, and finally turned clockwise three times; while the one on the right first turned counterclockwise four times, then turned clockwise six times, and finally turned counterclockwise once again.

"Boom!" A heavy sound of a door opening was heard, and the door of the medicine store was opened, and a faint smell of medicine wafted to the face.

Su Qingning looked up and saw rows of quaint medicine cabinets, which seemed to have no end in sight.

"Student Su, you go in and choose by yourself! I won't go in." Wu Yue said.

"Yes." Su Qingning nodded obediently, and a cunning light flashed in her lowered eyes.

When she stepped into the medicine storehouse, Su Qingning clearly felt a slight fluctuation in the air. Her heart sank. It seemed that there was a formation set up at the gate, and fluctuations would occur as long as someone entered or left.

Su Qingning kept this matter in mind and planned to discuss with Mo Lintian how to break the formation without making any noise after leaving the medicine storehouse.

After actually entering the medicine warehouse, Su Qingning was shocked by what she saw.

It has to be said that the Imperial College's pharmacy is indeed huge, and the number and variety of medicinal materials are also very large. A rough estimate is that there are at least hundreds of cabinets for storing medicinal materials, and each cabinet has more than a hundred drawers; if you want to open them one by one, it will take an unknown amount of time.

Su Qingning frowned slightly. She didn't want to waste too much time, so she had to release her mental power and check every drawer row by row.

An hour later, Su Qingning finally used her mental power to look through all the drawers and found the three medicinal ingredients currently missing from the purification potion, namely the Five-Colored Divine Ganoderma, Dragon Blood Ginseng and Holy Wood Fruit.

Su Qingning really wanted to take all three medicinal herbs, but there were people waiting outside, so she could only take one herb according to the regulations.

Without much hesitation, Su Qingning chose the five-colored divine fungus closest to her.

After taking out the five-colored divine ganoderma from the drawer, Su Qingning held it directly in her hand and walked towards the door.

Outside the medicine storehouse, Wu Yue heard footsteps behind him. He was slightly startled and turned around. Sure enough, he saw Su Qingning walking out.

"How come it's so fast?" Wu Yue looked at Su Qingning in surprise. "Don't you want to take a look? We still have a whole morning. There's no rush."

"No need." Su Qingning shook her head slightly, raised the Seven-Colored Divine Ganoderma in her hand and said, "I have found the medicinal herbs I want."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yue looked at the herbs in Su Qingning's hand. The words he wanted to use to persuade her were suddenly stuck in his throat, and a hint of astonishment inevitably flashed in his eyes.

"Seven-colored Divine Ganoderma?!" Wu Yue exclaimed, then laughed, "You little girl really know how to pick herbs."

The seven-colored divine ganoderma is a divine-level medicinal herb. There are only about twenty divine-level medicinal herbs in the entire medicine warehouse, and each one is placed in a very hidden place. However, Su Qingning found a divine-level medicinal herb after only one hour in the warehouse.

Wu Yue couldn't help but sigh that Su Qingning was lucky, but he didn't know that this was not just luck, but also a kind of strength.

After the door of the medicine storehouse was closed and the entire storehouse was hidden in the formation, Su Qingning followed Wu Yue and left.

In the small courtyard, Mo Lintian and others did not go out, but gathered in the yard, waiting for Su Qingning to come.

Fortunately, Su Qingning didn't let them wait too long. After parting with Wu Yue, she rushed over directly.

"Come back so soon?"

Seeing that Su Qingning came back at just one quarter of the hour, everyone in the courtyard was surprised.

"Did you get anything? Why did you come back so soon?" Mo Lintian asked as he held Su Qingning's hand and pulled her to sit down.

Su Qingning smiled faintly and said, "Not bad. I found three useful herbs. However, I can only take one this time. There are still two herbs left."

"It's okay. Now we know the location of the medicine warehouse. Once we sneak into the medicine warehouse tonight, we can get the two medicinal herbs." Mo Lintian comforted.

"Yeah." Su Qingning nodded, and then talked about the situation at the medicine storehouse, "You guessed right, there is indeed a formation at the medicine storehouse."

"According to my observation, there should be two formations. One is an illusion formation that hides the medicine store. The other formation is on the door of the medicine store. When I entered, there was a slight fluctuation in the air."

"Also, there are four people guarding the medicine storehouse. If we want to enter the medicine storehouse, we have to get rid of those four people first."

After saying that, Su Qingning looked at the others and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Xie Yichen and the other three exchanged a glance and laughed. Qi Runyu glanced at the calm Mo Lintian and said, "This isn't a problem. Lintian is an imperial-level formation master. Breaking two formations shouldn't be a piece of cake. As for the four guards, with your abilities, Xiao Qingning, are you afraid that the medicine won't overpower them?"

Su Qingning was slightly stunned when she heard this. She turned her head and looked at Mo Lintian beside her in surprise, and asked, "Are you an imperial-level formation master?"

Mo Lintian blinked at Su Qingning and said with a slightly proud tone, "I, a humble person, am actually an imperial-level formation master."

Su Qingning raised her eyebrows and said with a bit of amusement: "I didn't expect that you hid it so well."

Mo Lintian laughed, "How can you hide it better than Xiao Ning'er?"

As soon as the words fell, the two smiled at each other; Xie Yichen and the other three rolled their eyes at the same time. Qi Runyu teased unhappily, "Hey, there are other people here! Can you guys stop flirting? You should consider the feelings of us single people once in a while!"

After these words were spoken, Mo Lintian and Su Qingning did not react at all, but Xie Yichen, Tang Jinan and Yang Youli glared at Qi Runyu first.

"You are the dog!" the three said in unison.

Qi Runyu: "..."Okay! You guys are aloof, only I am a dog.
