Chapter 926 - Expensive Medicinal Herbs! (1/2)

After receiving Xu Miaolin’s text message, Fang Qiu then knew that what he referred to was a place that supplied medicinal herbs picked while people strictly followed the ancient prescriptions. It was located in a Flower and Bird Market.

Without hesitation, he immediately rushed to the capital.

Following the address given by Xu Miaolin, Fang Qiu arrived at a relatively old Flower and Bird Market in the suburbs of the capital.

Given that it was in the suburbs of the city, the Flower and Bird Market was not as lively as imagined. There were no noisy sounds of animals or the smell of pet feces in it.

As Fang Qiu entered the market, he found it extremely quiet and relaxing.

There were plenty of shops there. However, those were no pet stores like the popular ones nowadays. Instead, most of the stores sold flowers, plants, antiques, wood, and stones.

He walked all the way to the innermost part of the Flower and Bird Market.

Fang Qiu saw an antique building.

It was a courtyard.

There was a rockery with flowers, grass, and a clear pool in the yard.

A one-meter-high wall surrounded the courtyard. The main entrance was a round-arched gate. There was a path leading from the gate to the door of the ancient building in the yard.

“Ancient Workshop!” Walking on the path, Fang Qiu looked up and saw a plaque with gold lettering on a red background hanging on the door of the ancient building.

This was where Xu Miaolin asked him to come.

He walked into the hall of the ancient building.

Fang Qiu turned his head and swept around. He found that the furnishings in the hall of the ancient building were like regular Chinese Medicine pharmacies, but there was no strong smell of Chinese herbs. Instead, there was a faint fragrance.

As he looked towards the counter, a young man was sitting in front of the counter, reading a book intently at the moment.

Fang Qiu walked up to have a look.

The book the young man was reading was actually Chinese Medicine in Human Body.

“Hello, what do you need?” Asked the young man as he raised his head and glanced at Fang Qiu who was wearing a mask.

“I want some herbs which only grow at specific times.” Without delay, Fang Qiu took out a piece of paper from his trouser pocket and handed it to the young man.

The young man stood up.

He pressed the book with a square paperweight on the counter, then took the paper handed over by Fang Qiu. After looking at it carefully, he suddenly raised his head and said with a smile to Fang Qiu, “Is this the Holy Flowers Formula? Are you going to give it to your girlfriend?”

Fang Qiu was stunned.

He didn’t expect this young man to know the formula.

It seemed that this small place was also full of unknown talents!

“Let me remind you. This formula sounds good, but it’s actually useless.”

The young man curled his lips and kindly reminded him.

As soon as he said that, Fang Qiu was stunned again.

It was obvious that this young man had tried this formula before.

However, it was normal that he thought this formula was useless because it wouldn’t work if made from ordinary medicinal herbs.

But the young man didn’t delay any longer. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately went to get the herbs for Fang Qiu.

“All right,” After a while, the young man took all the herbs and said, “these herbs I got were strictly followed the Holy Flowers Formula. The weight is also based on the amount you wrote. Check if the weight is right.”

“How much is it?” Fang Qiu took a glance and asked the price after confirming the weight.

Before he came here, he had already made a plan.

Because the Tianshan Snow Lotus contained the Qi of Heaven and Earth, it was possible that he could achieve the effect that the Holy Flowers Formula described even without the herbs which only grew at specific times. Therefore, Fang Qiu planned to buy the amount that one set of the drug needed first, and then buy some herbs which didn’t need to grow at certain times. He would take them back and process them at the same time, see the efficacy of the medicine, and then make a decision.

“15,000,” said the young man.

Fang Qiu was shocked when he heard that.

This price was far higher than that of ordinary herbs.

“These are herbs which only grow at specific times. There is only a certain amount every year. And they are only sold at certain times every year. This price is not expensive. Besides, the amount you need is too much,” the young man said blandly.

It seemed that he was sure that Fang Qiu would take the herbs, so he didn’t intend to put them away. Instead, they sat down directly and continued reading.

“That’s right. The herbs that took so much effort to get are worth such a price!” Fang Qiu exclaimed, paid for it, and then left.

The young man also bowed to greet him leaving.

Fang Qiu walked out of the ancient building.

“It’s too expensive. If all the drugs are produced according to this quality, the cost will be too high. Moreover, the number of herbs that grow at certain times is limited. I can’t collect too much even if I want to.”

With this in mind, he walked out of the Flower and Bird Market and went to an ordinary medicinal herbs market. He bought all kinds of ordinary flowers there and all the herbs needed for the second formula before returning to Beijiang.

At the cultivation base in Beijiang, as soon as he came back, Fang Qiu immediately took some snow lotuses, walked into the pharmacy, and began to process the medicine.

The first thing was the Holy Flowers Formula!

Two sets of medicine were made at the same time. One set was made from ordinary medicinal herbs and Tianshan Snow Lotus. The other set was made according to the requirements of the ancient prescription with Tianshan Snow Lotus.

If it was a normal process of producing drugs, it would take at least a few days to complete it.

But Fang Qiu had internal Qi.

With the help of his internal Qi, he finished making the two sets of drugs in a very short time.

“I hope the efficacy will be the same.”

After Fang Qiu finished making the drugs, he took them with warm water.
