At the end of the day, Long Tian left the antique market even though there were still patients; he told them to co back tomorrow, that he would be there, and that those who recomnded people would get a discount.
On his way ho, he stopped at an herb store nearby, planning to buy the materials he needed for cultivation.
Various herbs were carefully preserved to keep their effectiveness.
He walked up to the counter where the receptionist was sitting.
The shop was small but adequately sized, and he could see so of the herbs he wanted to buy.
"Hello," he said softly, knocking on the table when he saw the person in charge was asleep.
It was a young woman in her twenties. She was also very beautiful.
Seeing her made Long Tian frown, not because he recognized her but because he had just arrived in China and t four top beauties.
Was China filled with beauty or what?
The young lady rubbed her eyes as she yawned. When she saw a stranger’s face, she composed herself and smiled, "Welco to our herb store. Which herb would you like?"
Long Tian nodded. He took out a list where he had written all the herbs he needed.
There were a bit too many, and he didn’t have ti to say all of them.
The young woman took the list from him, and when she saw what he had written, her mouth opened wide in surprise.
At first, she thought a normal custor had arrived.
But as she read halfway through, her smile faded; she kept glancing at Long Tian, wondering if he was joking.
She read the entire list, and anger started brewing in her mind.
She forcefully dropped the list on the table and looked at Long Tian. "Sir, are you here to play with ? What are all of these? I know all about herb nas, and I can confidently say no herb has the nas you wrote here."
She folded her arms and snorted, throwing the list back to Long Tian.
Long Tian heard her words and raised his eyebrows in doubt. He was confident that what he had written was accurate, and he had seen so of the herbs when he entered.
What was going on?
"Ahem. Are you sure of this? Because I recognize so of the herbs in your store," Long Tian questioned.
The young lady was surprised and paused. She thought Long Tian was lying.
"Okay, why don’t you tell the functions of the herbs you saw here that were on your list? I know all the functions of the herbs here," she replied.
Long Tian considered her words and found the idea plausible. But would his explanation match hers?
"I have an herb here called Blood Essence Herb. It’s a small crimson herb with veins that look like flowing blood. It usually grows in damp or deep forests. Its main use is to restore blood and vitality."
Long Tian pointed to one of the herbs on the list and explained.
The young lady’s eyes widened as she realized Long Tian’s words were true, though the herb’s na was different.
"Hmm... tell another one."She wanted to confirm if his words were really true.
"Okay, another one is the Iron Grass Herb. It is a dark green herb with thick leaves that grows in rocky mountains and cliffs. The leaves feel slightly tallic when touched. It strengthens muscles, hardens the skin, and improves physical durability."
Long Tian ntioned another herb from the list.
"Hmmm, another one." She said, not wanting to accept his words.
Long Tian frowned; he was a bit impatient as he had no ti to waste. He glanced at the young lady, whose gaze turned sharp at this.
"Why aren’t you answering? Cat got your tongue? If you know the herbs, why don’t you ntion the third one so I can know if you are speaking the truth or maybe you have just learned them?" she ridiculed.
Long Tian shook his head at her words.
"Ok, Tiger Tendon Vine. It is a long, flexible vine that grows around ancient trees. It is extrely tough to cut. It is used to strengthen tendons and flexibility."
This ti, the young lady believed him, but she was confused about why he used different nas from the ones she knew.
"You are right, but the first one is called Red Vein Herb, while the second one is Steel Leaf Grass and the last one you ntioned is called Iron Vine." She explained.
Long Tian chuckled, a bit surprised by how the modern world had changed the na of the herbs.
"Since you can recognize the herb you want, then you show the herb you want." She proposed, and he agreed.
His Mystic Dragon Eye beca active, glancing through the herbs, planning to pick the best ones.
Like the Blood Essence Herb, it had different grades; the ordinary grade grows in normal environnts, but other grades grow in concentrated blood areas.
Maybe a creature dies or its blood is spilled; the higher the concentration and vitality of the blood, the higher the grade of the blood essence herb.
And they can be watered with the specific blood of creatures.
When Long Tian saw the blood essence herbs they had, he beca disappointed because all they had was ordinary grade. He thought he might be lucky to see a higher grade because the higher the grade, the rarer it was.
He shook his head, and he looked at the young woman before him.
Not long after, he frowned in surprise. He could see that the physical strength of the young lady was very strong.
It was even close to his physical strength.
Thinking about Murong Chen’s case as well, he beca confused. He had checked them and saw they weren’t cultivators; he sensed no aura of Originat.
How were they this strong?
China was really different from what he thought.
He felt it was full of hidden veils.
"Ahem... Sir..." He heard the voice of the young woman and realized he had sunk into his thoughts.
"Sorry for that." He apologized.
With that, he began selecting the herbs he needed. They had the key herb he needed for the refinent process.
anwhile, in another place, soone was looking at Long Tian’s picture.
