The shop owner pointed to the corner in the distance and said, “He’s the owner of the best shop in that corner of the street. He also has a medicinal herbs business. Nearly all who engage in this business all year round know him. Just go there and you’ll find him.”

“Alright.” Xue Yu replied and then grabbed Tang Xiu’s hand, leaving the shop. She did not have a good impression of this shop owner at all. Such a short-sighted person who not only failed in his promise but also sold such a treasure cheaply was the type of person she really was disgusted with.

Tang Xiu himself never heard of the Singular Recherché Fruit, and neither did he know what was good about it. Though Xue Yu explained the healing effects of this fruit, he only saw it as a relatively precious spiritual fruit.

“Don’t worry. You still have the chance to buy it back since you know who bought it. At the worst, you will have to buy it at a much higher price.” Tang Xiu consoled her.

“I have to buy this Singular Recherché Fruit even if there’s only one chance,” said Xue Yu with a firm look. “I’ll make you the most lavish medicated diet after buying it.”

Medicated diet?

Tang Xiu’s mouth could not help but twitch. Spending millions to buy a precious spirit fruit was unexpectedly to make a medicated diet for me? Xue Yu… she really doesn’t see paper money as money.

However, seeing such an uncommonly seen occasion made Tang Xiu disinclined to argue with her. After all, she spent a lot of money to buy it for his own sake.

Treasure Collection Store. It was a mosaic signboard hanging on the very ordinary door of the shop. The shopfront of the entire medicinal herbs store was very large, but felt particularly empty inside. Other than a young clerk and a man and a woman who were playing with their mobiles, there was no one else.

As the young man saw Tang Xiu and Xue Yu, his eyes only stayed on Tang Xiu for a moment before moving to Xue Yu, unable to remove his eyes even for a moment.

Xue Yu was accustomed to seeing men acting strangely when they stared at her ever since she stopped wearing a veil. She ignored him and asked with a cold and clear voice, “We’re looking for Boss Huo.”

The young man seemed to have woken up from a dream. His delicate face instantly blushed. He had seen beautiful women, but not anyone as beautiful as Xue Yu. After all, he was very young and did not have enough self-control yet. He thought that his stare a moment ago was quite rude, and stutteringly said with an awkward expression, “Gramps Huo… my Boss… he… he is receiving guests upstairs.”

Xue Yu gently nodded and said, “Can you take us upstairs? We have a business deal with your boss.”

“A-alright… fine… You… please follow me.”

In order to conceal his discomfiture and embarrassment, the young man answered stutteringly and then turned around, slightly running up the stairs. When he stepped on the second stair, he suddenly realized that his pace was a bit faster and the guests seemed unable to keep up. He then abruptly stopped for several seconds. After secretly glancing to the side, he then continued walking upstairs at a slower pace.

Tang Xiu only smiled. He knew well how the young clerk felt. If he did not experience the 10,000 years of life and cultivation in the Immortal World, he would be highly likely to act like this young clerk.

On the second floor.

Huo Siming’s office was located at the innermost of the shop. The office was usually used to receive important guests, and never once accepted any ordinary person. It was extravagantly and elegantly decorated with neat and lavish wooden furniture. The owner, Huo Siming, was now sitting before a mahogany tea table, stroking his white beard and constantly scanning the guests sitting on the opposite chairs appraising the medicinal ingredients on the table.

“Two guests, this Hoarfrost Fruit is definitely a good thing. I’ve been in this medicinal herbs market for many years, but only twice have I obtained this fruit. And this one is my second time. Moreover, the 6.5 million yuan I quoted to you is definitely a fair price.”

The two guests were a spirited old man in a Chinese tunic and an aging woman that still looked attractive and someone who attended the underground fighting competition would definitely know. She was the host of the underground fighting match finals… Black Widow.

The old man in Chinese tunic observed the spiritual fruit in his hand, but he was actually disdainful inwardly. Huo Siming mistakenly took this Singular Recherché Fruit as Hoarfrost Fruit, but he was very clear that this one was the former.

However, the reason he came to Shanghai’s medicinal herbs market this time was to find a Millennium Wild Ginseng and was unexpectedly found this precious fruit. Most importantly, it seemed that he could make a big bargain and did not feel like telling Huo Siming its true value.

Knock, knock…

The office’s door was knocked, as the young clerk then carefully pushed the door a slit open and looked around through it. As his eyes landed on Huo Siming, he immediately opened the door and said, “Boss, there are two honored guests here to see you. They said they want to make a deal with you.”

Huo Siming did not expect that his sales clerk actually barged in even though he knew what rules were. But after hearing his report, he suppressed his anger inwardly and said with a doubtful expression, “Honored guests who want to have a business deal with me? Who are they?”
