“It seems I have come at an untimely time. It’s fine, since he’s not around, I will come to pay him a visit when he returns!” She replied, and then added: “Manager Shao, I would like to ask you for a favour.”
“Ghost Doctor please, speak frankly. As long as I am able, I will not refuse.” He said with a smile.
“I am looking for two three hundred year old elixir herbs. One of them is the Ice Core White Lotus Jade and the other is the Exquisite Seven Colour Flower. Please would Manager Shao keep an ear out for the whereabouts of these herbs.”
Upon hearing this, Manager Shao was taken aback and laughed: “These two are sacred medicine herbs for detoxification. Moreover, as you need them to be at least three hundred years old, it is probably impossible to obtain. However, as you are the Ghost Doctor, it might be easier.”
He smiled at Feng Jiu and paused for a moment before he spoke again: “Our Black Market forces are distributed all over the country. We will be able to find out what kind of elixir herbs there are and who has some.”
“Let’s take the Exquisite Seven Colour Flower for example, there is a three hundred year old plant within the City Lord’s Mansion right here in Shun Yan City. Coincidentally, the City Lord’s father is suffering from a nasty illness and has released the news that if anyone can cure his father they may make a request to him as a reward. I think you can try that Ghost Doctor.”
“As for the Ice Core White Lotus Jade, it is very rare. And if you want one that is at least three hundred years old, then you will only find it at the Old Man Tianji’s Sky Mountain Snow Pond.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu’s eyes moved slightly and she thanked him: “Thank you Manager Shao for your advice, I understand.” Since she knew the location of the elixir herbs, then she needn’t worry about not being able to obtain them. Isn’t the Old Man Tianji, Mo Chen’s Master? Mo Chen must have returned to the Sky Mountain.
After she had obtained the information she needed, Feng Jiu stayed for a while before she took her leave. Manager Shao had personally seen her out. After he watched the two people walk away, he turned and went back into the Black Market and walked towards the penthouse. He had intended to inform the Elders of the Ghost Doctor’s visit and once his Master had returned he would let him know immediately.
He however, couldn’t understand why his Master was so attentive to the Ghost Doctor. After all, although the Ghost Doctor’s refining skills were extraordinary, there were people who were more powerful in the world. However, ever since his Master had seen the portrait of the Ghost Doctor those years ago when it had been circulating around, everything seemed to be different.
The Black Token was of elite-class, and its status that it represented was greater than many people within the Black Market. However, without any reason, this treatment was given to her and many things had been taken care of for her in secret too. He was truly puzzled by this.
His Master had even known beforehand that the Ghost Doctor would arrive here. It was just an unfortunate coincidence that his Master was not in the Black Market when the Ghost Doctor had come to pay him a visit.
He didn’t know how long his Master would be away this time. The Ghost Doctor had caused such chaos within the Pill Sun Sect, he worried that this matter wouldn’t be swept under the rug and forgotten easily. Whatever was going to happen next would surely be troublesome….
