The theatregoers were in awe as they witnessed the scene outside.
The entourage of the second prince was known for their arrogance, but the unexpected turn of events left them visibly embarrassed this time.
Sighs of disbelief were exchanged among the onlookers as they redirected their attention to Ye Qin and Huang Quan.
A person who could instill fear in the person of the Prime Minister’s Mansion must have a formidable background, and the spectators, content with being mere observers, had no desire to get involved. Once the second prince’s retinue withdrew, the theatregoers followed suit.
After a while, the commotion outside the medicine shop subsided.
“Let’s go in,” Huang Quan said, leading the way inside.
Ye Qin nodded and followed her.
Within the medicine shop, the staff were well aware of the recent events. As Huang Quan and Ye Qin entered together, the atmosphere shifted, and the waiters showed a newfound respect.
Huang Quan proceeded to list over a dozen medicinal materials, concluding with, “The medicinal materials I just mentioned, I need 10 of each.” The waiter, taken aback, responded, “Miss, those medicinal materials you mentioned are all rare and magical. We only have three plants of two types here. The rest are available, but the price…”
“Price is not an issue,” Huang Quan asserted proudly, brandishing the significant sum of 500 million in her pocket. “Just help me wrap the medicinal materials.”
The waiter, delighted by the prospect of such a significant sale, eagerly agreed, “Wait a minute, Miss. I’ll have someone help you pack the medicinal materials right away.”
“Thank you,” Huang Quan replied, her confidence undeterred. The waiter hurriedly sought out the shopkeeper, who promptly dispatched staff to retrieve the required medicinal materials from the warehouse.
After the shopkeeper personally accompanied Huang Quan to inspect the medicinal materials, the waiter left and returned after a while with a box.
Containing more than a dozen varieties of medicinal materials, the boxes varied in size. Huang Quan meticulously opened each one, inspecting and grading the contents. Satisfied, she happily paid the total of 55 million.
With 500 million in hand, she didn’t hesitate to spend the amount, considering the potential profits from the pills refined from these materials.
After the transaction, Ye Qin instructed the driver to load the items onto the carriage.
“Let’s go,” Huang Quan said to Ye Qin with a smile. “On to the next place.”
“Wait a minute,” the shopkeeper called out as Huang Quan and Ye Qin prepared to leave.
Huang Quan looked at the shopkeeper, inquiring, “Is there anything else?”
Carefully observing Huang Quan and detecting no spiritual power fluctuation, the shopkeeper expressed concern, “Girl, these pills you ordered are challenging to refine. The elixir for the promotion pill is difficult, so you may want to advise the alchemist to be careful to avoid wastage…” Huang Quan, appreciating the shopkeeper’s concern, smiled.
Typically, customers buying medicinal materials wouldn’t provide such specific instructions, as any waste would necessitate repurchasing and benefit the medicinal shop.
“Okay,” Huang Quan acknowledged without disclosing her alchemical abilities. “Thank you for the reminder, shopkeeper. I’ll make sure to convey it.”
The shopkeeper sighed, “After all, so much money… wasted. How unfortunate.”
Expressing gratitude once more, Huang Quan left the medicine shop with Ye Qin.
As they exited, Huang Quan looked back and commented, “The shopkeeper is a good person. I’ll come here to buy medicine from now on.”
Ye Qin’s expression shifted, and he questioned, “In the future?”
Huang Quan nodded affirmatively, “Yes.”
