The old method was naturally referring to the backhanded way they were going to do things.

Actually, there were many outsiders who had disappeared recently. It had already started attracting attention, and there was someone investigating this.

Based on reasoning, at this critical moment, the Hao Clan should be operating lowkey, but Sima You Yue’s acupuncture methods were too tempting and they had no way of resisting this temptation.

After hesitating again and again, the Hao Clan still decided to do it.

As for Sima You Yue, she found out about their idea and plan at the same time. As such, on the morning of the second day, Sima You Yue took her people and said their farewells before finding a remote place to keep them into her Spirit Pagoda. Then, she nonchalantly strolled the streets.

She entered a herbal shop and began to find the medicinal ingredients she needed.

“Dear Guest, do you need any help? What herbs are you looking for?” The shopkeeper came forward and his attitude was warm and earnest.

“There’s nothing I particularly want to buy. I merely want to see whether or not you have any special herbs here.” Sima You Yue said lightly.

The shopkeeper could tell that she was an outsider at a glance, so he said with a smile, “Customer, you must be referring to the herbs that are only available on our island, right?”

“That’s right.” Sima You Yue nodded, “If possible, the more ancient the better.”

“Those herbs that are only available on our island are naturally more precious and are only available on the second level.” The shopkeeper said warmly.

Sima You Yue glanced at those herbs and saw that they were very ordinary. After looking around, nothing piqued her interest.

“Since the precious ones are on the second level, let’s head to the second level for a look.”

“Customer, please come with me.”

The shopkeeper led her to the second level and led her to the area where herbs exclusive to the island were placed. He said, “Customer, this is the place.”

Sima You Yue looked at them, and the herbs were really better than the ones downstairs.

“Is this a Silver Water Plant?” She picked up a stalk of it and inspected it.

“Indeed, it is a hundred-year-old Silver Water Plant.” The shopkeeper replied.

“Is a hundred-year-old herb considered rather rare?” Sima You Yue asked with curiosity.

“This Silver Water Plant is a herb that is commonly found on the island. Because its uses are versatile, many use it. Because it is the most needed, most of them are dug up the moment it is useful. To find one of this age is considered rather rare.” The shopkeeper explained.

“I see.” Sima You Yue placed the Silver Water Plant down after understanding and came to another herb in a box.

Whenever she saw a type of herb, she would ask questions about it. The shopkeeper would answer her questions patiently, especially those that she was most interested in.

“Help me to wrap up all of those I selected before.” Sima You Yue said.

“Alright.” As the shopkeeper kept those herbs away, he seemed to have thought of something as he turned around and said to Sima You Yue, “Customer, a type of herb just arrived today and has not yet been displayed. It’s rather rare, would you like to take a look?”

“A rare herb? Then please show it to me.” Sima You Yue replied.

The shopkeeper went downstairs and came back up in less than two minutes. In his hands was a box.

Sima You Yue saw that the box was exquisite and on it were complicated designs.

There were many herbs that were placed inside the jade box. There were many of these types of boxes in the house. Sima You Yue was really interested in this.

“What herb is inside here?” She asked curiously.
