Hearing the shopkeeper’s words, Yan Xi’s cold gaze returned. Then, she looked at Duanmu Rou, who could not hold back her smile, and suddenly understood.

“Quickly pull her away! Do you think that just anyone can touch the herbs in our shop?” The shopkeeper randomly picked two guards and asked them to drive Yan Xi away.

“I just came to the Green Lotus Pavilion two days ago. How come I didn’t know that the herbs here are not allowed to be touched?” Yan Chushi was filled with righteous indignation.

“Oh, I set a new rule today.” the shopkeeper raised his chin, his expression arrogant.

He waved his hand and said to the guards, “Hurry up and chase them out. You even steal from your own family! We don’t welcome thieves like you!”

Two burly guards immediately walked in front of Yan Xi and Yan Chushi, ready to grab them and throw them out.

Yan Xi’s black eyes swept around coldly.

The guard who was about to make a move seemed to be stopped by something and put his hand down.

A young girl in black robes with half a mask covering her face slowly walked out of the room. Her movements were elegant. “I won’t trouble you. We can walk on our own.”

“At least you’re tactful,” the shopkeeper snorted coldly. He glanced at Duanmu Rou, who was smiling at the side, and immediately added, “The Green Lotus Pavilion will not welcome you in the future! The Green Lotus Pavilion will prohibit you from buying any of our pills!”

The crowd was shocked.

Had Yan Xi been blacklisted by the Green Lotus Pavilion?

Everyone was whispering to each other. In Muyun, only the Green Lotus Pavilion and the Hundred Herbs Tower could produce finished pills. Even the family heads of the major families had to treat the shopkeepers with respect.

If the head of the Yan family knew that his disciple had offended the shopkeeper of the Green Lotus Pavilion and was forever blacklisted, he would probably scream in anger.

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he waited with confidence for Yan Xi and Yan Chushi to cry and beg him to take back his words.

After all, if they offended the Green Lotus Pavilion, they would be blacklisted forever. Not only would they not be able to buy any pills in the future, but they might also be questioned by the family when they returned.

However, his plan failed.

The girl who had walked to the door did not come back to beg for mercy as he had wished. Instead, she tilted her head slightly, and her delicate red lips curved into a dazzling arc. “Don’t worry. In the future, even if the Green Lotus Pavilion begs me, I won’t even step inside.”

What a joke! the shopkeeper almost laughed at her words. The Green Lotus Pavilion was one of the largest medicinal shops in Muyun. Soon, he would crush the Hundred Herbs Tower to dominate the market. Did he need to beg her?

“Ignorant brat, you’re too arrogant. I don’t think the Yan family’s disciples are that good. It’s a waste to give the pills to such people! From next month onward, our cooperation with the Yan family will stop. I won’t accept any orders from the Yan family!” This time, the shopkeeper was not trying to please Duanmu Rou. He was trying to vent his personal anger.

His eyes shone with a shrewd light. Duanmu Rou’s teacher was an Alchemist Grandmaster from the Longyuan Empire. Once he had Duanmu Rou in his pocket, the Hundred Herbs Tower would close down sooner or later.

At that time, the Yan family would beg him for help. Then he could set any price he wished. Moreover, Yan Xi would also be punished by the family.

Not only could he befriend an Alchemist Grandmaster’s disciple, but he could also punish the arrogant brat and earn a lot of money in the future.

After leaving the Green Lotus Pavilion, Yan Gu was in a daze!

“We’re in trouble! He was in big trouble! What to do! We’re finished!” Yan Gu was so anxious that he was running around like a headless chicken. If the family found out that it was because of them that the Green Lotus Pavilion had cut off their pills, they would be skinned alive!

This was no longer a small matter like a private fight between the family’s disciples.

He looked helplessly at Yan Xi and Yan Chushi, only to find that one of them was wearing a mask and her expression could not be seen. However, her aura was relaxed, and she did not seem nervous at all.

The other one was holding his cousin’s hand obediently, his delicate face calm and content.

“Aren’t you guys worried?” Yan Gu could not help but ask.

“What’s the matter?” Yan Xi looked over curiously.

Seeing their relaxed expressions, Yan Gu calmed down as well.

Yan Xi led Yan Chushi through the door of the Hundred Herbs Tower. As soon as they entered, the sales assistant welcomed them warmly, “What would you like to buy, miss?”

“A ten-year-old rock spirit flower, a stalk of twenty-year-old platinum purple grass…” Yan Xi smoothly listed out several ingredients. When she finished, she found the sales assistant looking at her in a daze.

“What, you don’t have them in stock?” Yan Xi raised her eyebrows.

“No… We do! Don’t worry.” The sales assistant quickly nodded. Although Yan Xi had listed a lot of herbs, most of them were common herbs with a more detailed age requirement. However, the store was quite well-stocked. There were a few rare herbs, but the Hundred Herbs Tower had them in stock.

What shocked him was something else.

In fact, he had also been paying attention to the situation at the Green Lotus Pavilion. He knew that the masked woman in front of him was Yan Xi, the famous good-for-nothing of the Yan family.

But the way she listed out the herbs just now did not seem like she did not know about herbs at all! Wasn’t Yan Xi famous for being an idiot who could not do anything? How could she be so familiar with herbs?

“That’s good.” Hearing the sales assistant’s answer, Yan Xi nodded in satisfaction. “Take me to see them.”

“Alright, this way please.” The sales assistant had a newfound respect for her.

Among the herbs that Yan Xi had listed, there were a few that ordinary alchemists did not know about.

Yan Xi carefully selected the herbs she needed.

Actually, the medicinal herbs she had just listed were not all the medicinal herbs required for the Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Potion.

The Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Potion recorded in the medical book was not a single recipe, but a series!

It had nine levels!

The further one progressed, the stronger the medicinal effects and the better the body tempering effect would be. However, ingesting the potion was painful, and the pain increased exponentially with each level.

It was said that after ingesting the level nine potion, one would be able to form a pure body without any impurities. Be it cultivation or absorbing spiritual energy, one would be able to advance at a tremendous pace!

But most people could only endure the pain of the first two levels, those who could endure higher levels had great perseverance.

As for the ninth level, not only was it extremely difficult to refine, but the herbs required were also rare and precious.

Yan Xi had only opened the first chapter of the medical book, which only recorded the first and second-level formulas of the Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Potion. The herbs required to concoct it were relatively easy to find. As for the latter formulas, she suspected that she could only see them after she had fulfilled more conditions set by the medical book.
