556 Bitten by a Scaled Viper
“Why did you come out? You’re not refining medicine?” he asked.
“I just went to the shop. I didn’t expect it to be sold out so quickly,” An Jiuyue replied honestly.
She had not even been to the Suspended Pavilion, so she had not started refining medicine.
“I heard you sent Yan Jin to the shop to buy something.”
“I wanted to buy some goods.” Qian Jiyun did not deny it.
He could not take her vegetables directly, but he could buy some. This reason was good enough, right?
“But you didn’t manage to buy it. My business is really good,” An Jiuyue said.
Even she was surprised that the shop, which had only recently opened and had not even been advertised, was doing so well.
“I heard from Yan Jin that the vegetables in your shop are cheaper,” Qian Jiyun said, looking at her.
His words were a little implicit. Things that everyone would fight over must be very cheap. They were definitely much cheaper than other items on the shopping street.
“I know what you want to ask.” An Jiuyue pursed her lips and shrugged helplessly.
“But that’s not something I can decide. The price… is entirely up to the shop.”
However, if she had control over the prices, she might not be able to manage them well. After all, Huayan Peak was definitely a place of inflation.
She did not even understand the basics, let alone the prices.
“But I’m not losing out. I can still earn points. This shop will only grow bigger and bigger. I won’t earn less than others. After all, the profit is small, but the turnover is high.”
Qian Jiyun was quiet.
Small profit but high turnover? There was no such thing on Huayan Peak.
It would only be possible if the land here changed and the odor disappeared. Of course, that was impossible. This was a challenging place to survive.
“Jiuyue, you—”
“What’s wrong? What’s going on? How did this happen?”
They were about to continue their conversation when they heard screams and questions from afar.
Soon, a group of people who were working in the camp gathered around. What were they looking at?
“What happened?”
They turned in unison, but so many people were clustered together that An Jiuyue could not see what was happening.
“Let’s go see.” Qian Jiyun’s expression darkened as he walked over.
When they got closer, they realized someone had been poisoned by a demonic beast while killing it. His skin had turned purple, he had gained a lot of weight, and his clothes were bursting at the seams.
“Who’s this?”
Although Qian Jiyun was their lord, he could not tell which subordinate this was.
“Master, it’s Wei’an. He was bitten by a Scaled Viper,” a man in the same group as Zhao Wei’an answered.
He was overcome with emotion as he watched his companion get bitten by a Scaled Viper, an extremely venomous snake. Only antidote pills refined by an intermediate, high-grade medicine refiner could neutralize the toxin.
As he spoke, Shui Liu took out an antidote pill and stuffed it into Zhao Wei’an’s mouth with the help of a guardian next to them.
“This is an intermediate, medium-grade antidote pill. It can only delay the eruption of the toxin in his body. It can’t completely detoxify it. I have to find an intermediate, high-grade antidote pill.”
She looked up at everyone after feeding the medicinal pill to Zhao Wei’an.
