Chapter 355: Chapter 355: The Legendary Medicinal Herb Chapter 355: Chapter 355: The Legendary Medicinal Herb “Brother Molian, aren’t we buying too much?”
She couldn’t help but ask the question to Ya Molian, who kept his back to her.
“The shopkeeper said these fabrics are enough to make over a dozen garments. Do we really need to buy so much?”
Especially considering the price of these fabrics, she was frightened. They were so expensive even gold wouldn’t cost as much.
Ya Molian calmly replied.
If he had it his way, he would buy even more, if not for the fact that he had already bought all the fabrics in the shop.
“Let’s go and look somewhere else.”
They still had to look elsewhere?
She thought she came to Jianan City to earn money, not to spend lavishly. If they continued spending this way, how quickly would their earnings of ten thousand gold be depleted?
Okay, she had to admit, if he was buying things, she didn’t have to spend her own money. Her money was still hers.
But was it really okay to spend money ?
Hadn’t he noticed how strange the shopkeeper’s gaze was while watching them?
“Can we stop now? Where else do we have to go?” She asked while hurrying after Ya Molian, leaving the fabric shop.
After wandering around the streets of Jian’an for nearly an hour, Lin Caisang felt like she had walked a marathon. Finally, they returned to the Princess’ Mansion under Ya Molian’s escort.
Actually, it wasn’t so much wandering around; indeed, Ya Molian had led her all over the streets of Jianan City, buying her so many things she could barely count – men’s jade crowns, women’s hairpins. Anything Ya Molian liked, he would buy.
She felt completely superfluous; their neighbor certainly didn’t need her, the ‘onlooker,’ to add any insights.
At this moment, Ya Molian’s hands were full of goods, and he was preparing to find a place to sit and wait for Lin Caisang to return.
Inside the Princess’ Mansion, Lin Caisang looked at the prescription in the hands of the Eldest Prince. It was the one she had given him before, and his expression didn’t look too good.
“Miss, you’re finally back.”
Seeing Lin Caisang return, the Eldest Prince hurriedly greeted her.
“What’s the matter? Are there any ingredients in this prescription that can’t be found in the palace?” Lin Caisang asked.
The Eldest Prince immediately confirmed.
“All other ingredients are fine as one Imperial Physician said that he could find the thousand-year-old Beifu, and the Emperor let him leave the palace to find it. Other herbs can also be found in the palace, but no one in the Imperial Physician Institute knows about these two ingredients, the ‘Tianyin Bead’ and ‘Earth Yin Bead’.”
He was almost frantic. Just as the antidote was about to be within his grasp, he was stumped by these two herbs. If this wasn’t enough to drive a person mad, what would?
“The ‘Tianyang Bead’ and ‘Earth Yin Bead’ come from the same plant. The ‘Tianyang Bead’ is exposed under the blazing sun while the ‘Earth Yin Bead’ is buried deep under its roots and is relatively hard to find,”
Lin Caisang explained.
“What is that plant…?” The Eldest Prince asked.
“Extreme Hell Ginseng,” Lin Caisang replied.
Hearing the words ‘Extreme Hell Ginseng,’ the Eldest Prince was stunned and his face darkened.
“Miss, isn’t ‘Extreme Hell Ginseng’ a legendary medicinal herb? Does it genuinely exist in this world?”
He had heard of the name ‘Extreme Hell Ginseng,’ but everyone who knew the name thought it was a medicinal herb that only existed in legends, and couldn’t possibly exist in reality.
