"Can I help you, sir?" a woman said kindly.
"Yes sure, I'm looking for some herbs."
"The herbs are on the second floor. Please come with me, sir," the servant-woman pointed one way politely.
Xu Chen followed the servant woman until he reached a spacious room.
In the room Xu Chen could see a variety of herbs neatly arranged.
But in the room this time there are not too many people like in the first room if there are only parents.
That was because this room only provided herbal plants, which herbal plants were only needed by an alchemist.
"What kind of plant are you looking for? let me get it."
"Ah, that. The one I was looking for was actually not in this room," Xu Chen smiled awkwardly.
Although Xu Chen's place was vast and many herbs were on display yet the Youth was able to recognize them all in one look. It was because Xu Chen had examined the Book of Seven Poisons.
The female servant frowned. "How could the master say such a thing, while the master has not checked everything," the inner servant grumbled.
"Sorry sir but you've been standing here with me how did you know the herbs you're looking for don't exist?" the maid said carefully afraid of offending Xu Chen.
Xu Chen understood with confusion the waiter immediately mentioned the herbs he was looking for.
The servant choked on his own breath when he found out the herbs Xu Chen was looking for.
How not, the herbs that Xu Chen mentioned were all exorbitantly valuable requiring millions of pieces of gold to purchase them all.
The servant looked at Xu Chen from the top down, "Master, although our association has a high tolerance, but I'm sure master doesn't have the ability to buy all the herbs that master is looking for."
The servant said something like that was not without reason, it was because of Xu Chen's simple appearance. Not only him, everyone would agree with the servant if they saw Xu Chen's appearance.
Xu Chen was not angry about getting the mistreatment from the servant because of his growing mindset.
Lucky for the waiter to say that to Xu Chen now. If he had done so a month ago it was certain Xu Chen would have cut off his tongue.
Xu Chen only asked to be brought to the shopkeeper but the waiter refused. Actually the reason the servant served Xu Chen from the beginning was because of the good looks Xu Chen had.
However if Xu Chen asked him to meet with the shopkeeper of course he would not do so.
Xu Chen thought hard to convince the servant that he had the ability to buy all the herbs.
"Check out this storage ring," Xu Chen handed over his storage ring.
The servant's face went bad after examining Xu Chen's storage ring, he had not expected to see a mound of gold inside the storage ring.
"Pardon me sir," the servant lowered his head as deeply as he could.
Xu Chen only nodded lightly then asked to return to meet with the shopkeeper.
The waiter nodded in agreement and brought Xu Chen upstairs to the building.
Xu Chen was taken to a spacious room with gold ornaments everywhere.
Soon came a woman who was about 19 to 20 years old in a beautiful way. If judged the beauty that the woman possessed was equivalent to Ying Yue.
"My name is Yin Zhi-Ruo, I am the manager of the Golden Sun Association of the capital branch," the woman introduced herself.
Xu Chen received a helping hand from Yin Zhi-Ruo then introduced himself as well.
Xu Chen nodded lightly then started mentioning the herbs he needed.
Yin Zhi-Ruo's expedition changed after learning of the herbs Xu Chen was looking for, as his ministry only informed that a guest looking for rare herbs did not elaborate.
"I didn't expect the plant that master Chen was looking for to be so rare, I was shocked to hear it," Zhi-Ruo once again mastered his expression.
"Miss Yin is too much. Is there any herb I'm looking for?"
Yin Zhi-Ruo smiled slightly then explained the Golden Sun Association had the herbs that Xu Chen was looking for but only in limited quantities.
Yin Zhi-Ruo then called out to a servant and got used to something. Before long the waiter returned with several other servants carrying small boxes and then all placed on the table.
"This is all the herbs that Mr. Chen is looking for. I hope this is enough because this is all we have," Yin Zhi-Ruo said sweetly.
Xu Chen opened all the small boxes that were on the table, not long before the young man breathed a sigh of relief because all the herbs were enough.
"The news of the greatness of the Golden Sun Association is not mere nonsense, I realized it today" Xu Chen said in praise.
"Master Chen was too complimentary."
Xu Chen and Yin Zhi-Ruo then discussed about the price Xu Chen had to pay. The young man smiled wryly as he found out the money he had brought was not enough to pay for all the herbs.
"What the maid said earlier seemed to be a reality indeed," Xu Chen thought.
Yin Zhi-Ruo was actually shocked when he saw a twenty-year-old looking young man had so much gold in his storage ring. Yin Zhi-Ruo thought Xu Chen had come just to play around.
Yin Zhi-Ruo simply did not know Xu Chen's actual age was still seventeen.
"How's mister? will you only take half?" yin Zhi-Ruo said as he realized Xu Chen did not bring enough money.
"No, but can I pay for it with anything else?"
Yin Zhi-Ruo smiled slightly then explained that the Golden Sun Association was also interested in information, science and others.
Xu Chen thought for a moment before smiling meaningfully.
"I have a science of alchemists, does the Golden Sun Association accept it?"
"Of course, as long as it's useful science."
Xu Chen smiled in satisfaction then explained about the science of making pills with seventy-five percent effectiveness.
Xu Chen deliberately did not give the pill-making knowledge a hundred percent effectiveness because it would make his business at the auction fall and of course such a thing would be contested to cause chaos.
"Honestly, I don't really understand the field of alchemists, but I heard that even the greatest alchemists can only make pills with seventy percent effectiveness..."
"... If indeed the science that master Chen gave was correct then the Golden Sun Association party would give something decent."
Yin Zhi-Ruo stared at the astonishment of the young man in front of him, he admitted despite not understanding the alchemist field but upon hearing Xu Chen's explanation made him understand.
"It's okay, please prove it first, but can I bring home all these herbs?"
Yin Zhi-Ruo looked at the herbs for quite a while before agreeing with Xu Chen's wishes.
"Alright, because the science that master Chen gave was so logical that even a blind man who did not understand about alchemists understood."
Xu Chen intended to leave. Yin Zhi-Ruo agreed but had to drive Xu Chen to the front of the gate.
"Currently, interesting young man."
