Upon ntion of the newly arrived dicinal herbs, Nalan Yan’er’s eyes lit up, clearly quite interested.
"Just you, Sister Nalan, would bother talking to her. Instead of wasting ti on irrelevant people, it’s better to go purchase dicinal herbs. The good ones are about to be snatched up by representatives from other countries."
Princess Anyang, Dongfang Li, and Dongfang Mosheng also ca over.
They had all co to the Underworld Market with Nalan Yan’er.
After Princess Anyang arrived in Qinghe City, she fell severely ill due to the unfamiliar climate, and it was only thanks to Nalan Yan’er recomnding Divine Doctor Lu from the Underworld Market that she was eventually cured.
Dongfang Li’s eyes brightened upon seeing Feng Bailing and was about to approach for a conversation when Princess Anyang hurriedly hooked his arm.
"Dongfang Li, didn’t you say you wanted to gift a five-hundred-year-old Purple Ginseng?"
While saying this, Princess Anyang also glared fiercely at Feng Bailing. This woman was nothing but a vixen, always seducing n wherever she went.
"Why are you pulling and dragging? It was my Queen Mother who promised you the Purple Ginseng, not . I should never have agreed to accompany you to the Underworld Market."
Dongfang Li said irritably.
Princess Anyang had completely chard Noble Princess Consort Xiao. After falling ill, she wrote a letter to Noble Princess Consort Xiao lanting her situation, prompting Noble Princess Consort Xiao to order Dongfang Li to buy so tonics for Princess Anyang, which was why they all ended up together in the Underworld Market.
In the public eye, Dongfang Li couldn’t be bothered to argue with Princess Anyang and simply pulled Dongfang Mosheng to look at the Heavenly Weapons instead.
"Anyang, you should co with to select dicinal herbs."
Nalan Yan’er took the sulking Princess Anyang by the hand and glanced at Mo Qianqian and Feng Zhao’an beside them.
"Qianqian, Zhao’an, both of you co with too."
They were both part of Dongfang Yu’s team, so Nalan Yan’er naturally wanted to get them on her side.
Mo Qianqian was touched. Although she had access to the Underworld Market, she didn’t have much silver. Just looking at the prices of the equipnt and herbs had stunned her.
Fortunately, as a scholar, she only needed so Qi-boosting herbs.
Feng Zhao’an was grateful on the outside, but felt a tinge of sadness inside.
When he left Chu City, Feng Zhanlian had been infuriated by Lady Nan Feng to the point of fainting and had been bedridden ever since. Then Lady Nan Feng absconded with the entire Feng Mansion’s fortune. Having left in a hurry, the mansion’s affairs had to be managed by his mother, concubine Aunt Xue.
Recently, Aunt Xue sent a letter saying she was forced to sell Feng Mansion to repay debts and treat Feng Zhanlian, leaving only one hundred taels of silver for Feng Zhao’an.
Raised in luxury, one hundred taels was far from sufficient for Feng Zhao’an.
With this in mind, he couldn’t help but look towards Feng Bailing, who was now not only Princess Consort Wu but also held a VIP card to the Underworld Market. His situation was starkly different from hers.
A flash of envy crossed the depths of Feng Zhao’an’s eyes. He gritted his teeth in secret, vowing to one day take everything that Feng Bailing had.
Feng Bailing hadn’t planned on buying dicinal herbs today, but upon hearing that the Underworld Market had received a new batch of Purple Ginseng, she grew sowhat interested.
Previously, she and Li Mubei had thought that the Underworld Market had only a small quantity of Purple Ginseng, but it seed that was not the case.
Changsun Rou led Feng Bailing and the others to the second floor.
Upon seeing the deanor and bearing of Nalan Yan’er and the others, Divine Doctor Lu knew they were distinguished guests, but a flicker of panic appeared in his eyes at the sight of Feng Bailing following them.
"Divine Doctor Lu, these are all guests of honor in the Underworld Market. Please introduce to them the golden sore dicine and Detoxification Pill newly formulated by you."
Changsun Rou said with a smile.
Although Divine Doctor Lu had not cured Dugu Wu’s leg injury, he was renowned for his skill in concocting dicine, and both the Detoxification Pill and golden sore dicine he produced were very effective.
"Not to boast, but the golden sore dicine I’ve made can heal wounds within a few days. The Detoxification Pill can neutralize dozens of poisons."
Divine Doctor Lu boasted elaborately.
Feng Bailing thought to herself, this guy’s dical skill isn’t that great, but his gift of the gab certainly is.
Isn’t it just antiseptic dicine and Detoxification Pills?
Feng Bailing has the assistance of Amber Spiders to refine dicine liquids; the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce’s Golden Sore Liquid can stop bleeding and scab wounds instantly. As for Detoxification Pills, they are even able to neutralize hundreds of poisons.
Nalan Yan’er and Princess Anyang, hearing of the remarkable effectiveness of the antiseptic dicine and Detoxification Pills, hastily bought several portions, ensuring that each mber of the Great Chu Team A had one.
Seeing Feng Bailing and the others remaining motionless, Changsun Rou raised her eyebrows.
"Divine Doctor Lu, you’ve forgotten about the five-hundred-year-old Purple Ginseng that just arrived."
Nalan Yan’er and the others imdiately perked up their ears.
Ginseng itself is a precious dicinal material, and the entirely purple Purple Ginseng is even more esteed among ginsengs, revered by martial artists and scholars alike.
Rumors have it that Purple Ginseng can nourish blood and boost vital energy, beneficial for both the recovery of Gang Qi and Wen Energy.
"The Purple Ginseng from the Underworld Market is truly peerless, exclusive to it only. Ladies and gentlen are indeed fortunate, today happens to be the day the Underworld Market just received ten roots of Purple Ginseng. For any Purple Ginseng over a hundred years old, just including a single root tip can have miraculous effects."
After saying this, Divine Doctor Lu ordered soone to bring a brocade box.
The brocade box was as long as an arm; as soon as it was opened, a dazzling light glittered from within.
Hearing that it was a hundred-year Purple Ginseng, even Feng Luochen and others couldn’t help but look over.
Feng Bailing also scrutinized the Purple Ginseng.
Although Feng Bailing possessed an ergency dical kit and could modify Genetic Seeds, bolstered by the Spiritual Spring, the dicinal herbs she cultivated in Xinqi Village were of excellent quality.
However, no matter the quality, they were rely a hundred years old and had been achieved through repeated modifications—it was not easy to cultivate. It was truly impossible to grow Purple Ginseng that was five hundred years old.
This Purple Ginseng here, although not five hundred years old, was still several centuries in age; presumably, it was cultivated after the soil was modified with the Earth Holy Seal.
The Purple Ginseng was placed in the brocade box, and everyone’s gaze instantly focused on the Purple Ginseng.
With it, the chances of winning the second round of the competition would greatly increase.
Nalan Yan’er asked, unable to wait.
"How much for this Purple Ginseng?"
"Reporting to the Crown Princess Consort, a four-hundred-year-old Purple Ginseng is valued at one million taels," said Divine Doctor Lu.
At this, Nalan Yan’er’s face changed.
"Why is it more expensive than at the auction?"
"Crown Princess Consort, tis change. With the Competition Among Ten Countries impending, I must tell you, both the Beiqi Regent King and Shannan Country have already pre-ordered two roots. This ti the Underworld Market received only six roots of Purple Ginseng in total; only two roots are left now."
Changsun Rou reminded with a smile.
After learning the general content of the second round of the competition, Changsun Rou dared to ask for such a high price.
Anyway, if people like Nalan Yan’er don’t buy it, others will.
While Nalan Yan’er was hesitating, Feng Bailing reached for the Purple Ginseng, intending to examine it closely.
But before Feng Bailing could take a closer look, Princess Anyang snatched the brocade box away.
"What are you looking at? Soone so unaccomplished in both the literary and martial arts has no right to lay eyes on Purple Ginseng."
Feng Bailing’s eyebrows lifted, and she did not loosen her grip, holding onto the Purple Ginseng as well.
As she touched the Purple Ginseng, the Wooden Holy Seal inside Feng Bailing’s body suddenly stirred.
