Guan Xilin cast a glance at him. “You’re very assured about her.”
“Hahaha, after encountering so many dangers, Mistress has turned the bad into the good. What accident can happen just by entering a city? Moreover, I believe that even if there is an accident, the Mistress also has a way to deal with it. If you follow, sometimes it may not be a help, but a hindrance.”
Guan Xilin had nothing to say any more. He just stood there quietly watching Feng Jiu who had already changed into shabby beggar clothes and left the gate to follow a small path. He could only sigh but didn’t follow her.
That’s right! Even Du Fan could see thoroughly and had confidence in her. How could he not trust her? With her strength, who here could be her opponent? Even if there was danger, it might not be so for her.
Feng Jiu was dressed in a shabby beggar’s clothes and a pair of worn-out shoes with two toes exposed. She walked leisurely towards the city. Wearing such clothes with her face smeared with dust, she looked ordinary and unremarkable. No matter she was on the mountain road or in the city, she only attracted people’s glances filled with disdain.
Instead of wandering around, she went into the biggest spirit herb store in the city and put a list in front of the shopkeeper. “Shopkeeper, this is the list of the ingredients. Please give…” Before she finished, the shopkeeper shooed her away.
Where is the little beggar from? Get the hell out of here! Don’t stand in the way of our business. Get out of here!”
The shopkeeper looked at the shabby, ragged and emaciated beggar who probably had nothing of value and chased her out with a wave of his hand.
“Hey, don’t rush me out! I come to buy things, I have some money, don’t worry.” While dodging him, she smiled and handed the paper to him. “If you find all the things on this list, you won’t lose any gains.”
The shopkeeper looked at him sceptically, took the list and read it. Once he took a look, he was very angry and scolded the beggar. “You brat! How dare you say you’re not here to cheat? How many did you say the spirit herbs in this list? A cart-load? A cart-load for everything? You bastard, don’t delay my business! Get out of here! If you don’t get out of here, I’ll send someone to drive you out! ”
Feng Jiu had no choice but to take the list back. “There’s a business, but you don’t want to take it. Really an old man with no wisdom.” She shook her head and stepped out. She started from some smaller pharmacies and collected the spirit herbs needed.
However, those small pharmacies had only a few items and some of the main herbs were only enough for a dozen or more people. Seeing this, she decided to go to the underground Black Market in the city.
“It seems that going to the Black Market is the only option.” She had to cultivate in seclusion and couldn’t waste too much time on collecting the spirit herbs. The quickest way was to find the chief of the Black Market here and had him deal with it.
At the gate of the Black Market, she handed out the black token. “I want to see your person in charge.”
The guard took a look at the black token, took it and sent it inside. However, after a while, several people came out. “Our chief asked you to leave immediately! Otherwise, don’t blame us for not being easy on you!”
Hearing this, Feng Jiu raised her eyebrows and her eyes flashed. “What do you mean? Where’s my black token?”
Did these people really have the guts to take away her black token? Last time, a person on the Black Market had ideas about her black token, but met with a sorrowful end.
