"Yes, the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group. Sooner or later, they will be removed from the Rainbow Cloud City."
Luo Haiqing nodded and clenched her fists. "Whenever I think of them attacking Miss Luo, I hate them so much!"
Qin Shi glanced at her and smiled without saying a word.
They walked around the Apothecary Association and went to the building where the apothecaries gathered.
After passing through the building, they reached the apothecary shop that Luo Xuexian had mentioned.
The apothecary shop was huge. It was three stories high and was particularly magnificent. In the center of the shop was a huge golden cauldron with a lifelike golden dragon carved on it.
"Haha, how splendid."
As soon as they entered the apothecary shop, a strong fragrance of herbs came into their nostrils. Qin Shi could not help but feel refreshed and looked around.
Then, he did not waste any time. He walked around one counter after another to see if there were any herbs that he wanted.
When he walked around the first and second floor, he found three herbs that could heal the soul. Two of them were second-grade Spirit Nourishing Camellia and one was third-grade Spirit Healing Lily.
It was reasonable to say that this was a good harvest.
However, the previous incident had made Qin Shi realize that this level of spiritual herbs could not awaken Jade In The Book. To awaken her, he would need at least fourth-grade or higher spiritual herbs.
For this reason, he could not help but feel a little disappointed.
"It seems that I can only place my hope on the third floor."
Qin Shi was a little nervous. If he could not find it here, he was afraid that he would not be able to find it in the entire Rainbow Cloud City.
Thinking of this, he moved his eyes to the third floor and strode up.
However, when he and Luo Haiqing had just arrived at the entrance of the third floor, an armored guard suddenly stopped them and said in a low voice, "Gentlemen, only the first and second floors are open to the public. The third floor is not open to the public. The medicinal herbs inside are only provided to the apothecaries of the association."
"Damn, is that so?"
Being stopped, Qin Shi frowned.
If he could not go up to the third floor, all his hopes would be dashed.
Thinking of this, Qin Shi was not willing to give up and asked, "Can't you make an exception?
This Young Master isn't going up to smash and rob. A few Spirit Grasses placed on top can't give birth, don't you think so? "
However, no matter what Qin Shi said, no matter how hard he tried, the guard still blocked the way. He stood motionless like a pine tree and only said one word: No.
After a few arguments, the guard was already displeased. He rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was going to forcefully chase Qin Shi away if he continued to dawdle. "I said no means no. If you continue to dawdle, don't blame me for being impolite."
Beside him, Luo Haiqing's eyes narrowed. Some of the merchants had already been attracted by the dispute and had gathered around. Luo Haiqing thought to himself, "That's strange. Just a moment ago, Young Master Qin was extraordinarily calm. Why is he so impatient now?"
Of course, he didn't know that Qin Shi's calmness would immediately disappear when someone important was involved.
Among the important people, there was no doubt that Jade In The Book was one of them.
"Drink, what's wrong?
Do you still want to fight with me? "
Qin Shi's temper was not good. In addition, he was worried about Jade In The Book, so he rolled up his sleeves at once.
Luo Haiqing hurriedly stopped him. He looked around and whispered, "Young Master Qin, don't argue with him. Let's think about it. There must be another way."
After being stopped, Qin Shi also felt the mixed eyes around him. In order not to attract attention, he had no choice but to step back first.
After stepping back, Qin Shi stamped his feet impatiently in the hall of the second floor and cursed, "Damn, he's so unreasonable. What's wrong with an alchemist?
He has more eyes and more mouths than me. He just knows how to fiddle with the alchemy furnace and refine some lousy medicine.
What's so great about him? "
He had an intuition that there must be something he wanted on the third floor.
However, now he was directly blocked outside and was not even qualified to go up. How could he not be impatient?
"That's right, mental energy. How could I forget about it?"
Squinting his eyes, Qin Shi's eyes lit up. He was ready to use his mental energy to explore. "Humph, even if you don't let me go up, I still have a way to find out."
As soon as he said that, Qin Shi pulled Luo Haiqing to an inconspicuous corner and gradually closed his eyes. The mental energy in his sea of consciousness spread out and covered the whole medicine shop in the blink of an eye.
As his mental energy emerged, everything seemed to be quiet.
In an instant, the scene of the third floor appeared in his mind out of thin air.
Precious spiritual herbs that he had never seen before were emitting a faint glow. There were glossy ganoderma, snow lotus, ginseng, and deer antler. These things would probably cause a big sensation in Rainbow Cloud City.
"As expected of the alchemist association. How generous!"
Biting his lower lip, Qin Shi snorted. At this moment, an emerald green impatiens flashed in his sea of consciousness, which made his eyes brighten.
This impatiens was emitting a dazzling halo. When Qin Shi's mental energy came into contact with it, it produced a strong affinity, which made him overjoyed, "That's it …"
Suddenly opening his eyes, Qin Shi revealed a happy smile.
Although he could not confirm the grade of this impatiens, he could tell from the spiritual energy fluctuation that it was definitely not lower than fourth grade.
… …
Of course, Qin Shi did not know that at the moment when his mental energy spread out, in a hidden dark room in the Alchemist Association, a white-haired old man suddenly opened his eyes.
"Such a strong mental energy …"
The old man was wrapped in a black robe in the dark, like a ghost hiding in the night sky. His old voice carried a hint of laughter.
His gaze followed the extension of Qin Shi's mental energy. With a slight wave of his sleeve, a wave of mental energy that was even clearer and more vast than Qin Shi's sublimated and instantly surged out of the room and fell on Qin Shi's body in the medicine shop.
Inside the medicine shop, Qin Shi, who was shrouded by the mental energy, did not sense it at all. He was still in a daze, thinking about how to go to the third floor of the medicine shop.
When the mental energy was withdrawn, the black-robed old man revealed a satisfied smile, "It's actually a kid?
It's really been a long time. This kind of strong mental energy … a little interesting! "
"Old Pu, what's wrong?"
At this time, an old laugh echoed in the room.
Only to see another white-haired old man's figure in the dark.
He was unkempt and wore a long white robe with a golden cauldron embroidered on the front of his robe, "I haven't seen you show such an excited expression in decades. What happy event did you encounter? Tell this old man?"
"Hehe, Jiu Xian, I finally have a successor. There's a kid in your Alchemist Association. He seems to have encountered some trouble in your medicine shop. Help me solve it." The black-robed old man stroked his beard, his eyes filled with joy.
The white-robed old man was stunned, but he hung a different kind of smile, "Hehe, you really are a big shot. You order me around?"
"I'll treat you to a drink after this!"
At the mention of wine, the white-robed old man was happy. He flicked his sleeves and laughed, "That's a deal. I'm really curious, who exactly is it that can make an old man like you interested?"
…
Qin Shi was on the third floor of the medicine shop. He withdrew his mental energy and was pleasantly surprised, "Finally, Sister Yu can be saved. It seems that this young master must go to the third floor."
But when he thought of this, he glanced at the guard at the entrance of the third floor and put on a bitter face. "But, this bastard is unmoved by force or persuasion. How am I supposed to go up?"
"Little guy, what trouble did you encounter?"
At this time, just as Qin Shi was thinking, a kind laugh came from behind him.
Interrupted by the laughter, Qin Shi was startled. He shouted "ghost" and suddenly turned around.
As soon as he turned around, the white-robed old man in the dark room inexplicably appeared behind him.
Seeing the white-robed old man, Qin Shi's body trembled, and he was stunned.
Not only was Qin Shi surprised, but the white-robed old man was also stunned. The two of them almost said in unison, "It's you?"
Qin Shi knew this old man. He was the Jiu Xian who gave him the essence blood of the Red Blood Dragon in the restaurant in the ancient city. He was chased by people for several streets and showed that he was at the peak of the Spirit Breaking Realm.
"Senior, why are you here?"
Qin Shi came back to his senses and smiled at the reunion of old friends.
"President of the Alchemist Association, He Yan?" At this time, before the white-robed old man responded, Luo Haiqing next to him exclaimed.
"President?"
Qin Shi's eyes widened, and he was dumbfounded. After a while, he stammered, "Senior, you … you are the President of the Alchemist Association?"
The white-robed old man smiled and said proudly, "That's me."
His heart was filled with shock. Qin Shi had never thought that the old man he had met was the President of the Alchemist Association of Rainbow Cloud City.
Isn't this a bit too dramatic?
Rubbing his nose, Qin Shi still found it hard to believe. He thought to himself, No wonder he was so strong back then in the ancient city. However, I am curious. How did a perfectly fine guild leader end up in such a sorry state?
He was chased through several streets and was almost hacked to death!
Of course, he only dared to think about it. Back then, when he did not know the identity of the old man, Qin Shi remembered that he liked to brag to the old man, saying that it was not wine that intoxicated him, but he was drunk, and that he was willing to be a ghost under the skirt of a beauty …
Now that he thought about it, it was really embarrassing.
"That's right!"
With a flash of inspiration, Qin Shi grabbed the old man's hand and pulled him along. "Old senior, you are really my lucky star. I was just wondering how I could go up to the third floor!"
Looking at Qin Shi's actions, Luo Haiqing was dumbfounded.
Touching his lips, his heart was filled with shock. "Who in the world is this Gongzi Qin?
He even knows the President of the Alchemist Association?
No wonder the young mistress would fall for him … "
Before He Yan could recover from his shock, he was dragged to the entrance of the third floor by Qin Shi.
Coming to a stop, he felt as though his old bones were about to fall apart. He glared at Qin Shi hatefully, "Brat, don't you know what it means to respect the old and cherish the young?"
"Aiya, alright.
I'll treat you to a drink later. "
No matter what, Qin Shi couldn't bring up the slightest bit of respect for this disheveled 'President'.
He Yan's face turned cold, and his temper was completely gone. He cursed in his heart, "What in the world is this old fogey up to?
I'll settle the score with him when I get back! "
However, he only thought about it in his heart. He didn't bother to waste his breath on Qin Shi.
With He Yan around, Qin Shi walked up to the entrance of the third floor confidently. The person who stopped him just now raised his hand again, "Brat, do you not understand what I'm saying?
This place isn't open to the public. If you are … "
"What if you are?"
Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Shi interrupted him. Raising his head, he raised his hand and pointed his thumb behind him, "Look behind me. You're talking to me!"
