Chapter Fifteen Purchasing Medicinal Herbs

  "En." Lu Shaoyou lightly responded and sat down. Although this pastry was delicious, Lu Shaoyou had no appetite for it. He thought about how his mother was still suffering and that the twenty gold coins he earned today were still unaccounted for, making him feel depressed.

  "Shao You, you seem troubled." Lu Wushuang asked upon seeing Lu Shao You's appearance.

  "No, just random thoughts." Lu Shaoyou said, coming back to his senses.

  "Shao You, yesterday in the backyard, what did you think of Cui Yu's talent?" Lu Wushuang asked lightly.

  "Both talent and appearance are excellent, it doesn't seem like a maid." Lu Shaoyou didn't think much about it and said directly. The maid was called Cuiyu, but Lu Shaoyou felt that this maid shouldn't be an ordinary maid.

  "It seems you've also noticed, but your talent appears to be even more exceptional than hers. Alas, once one enters the world of martial arts, it's a life of shattered walls and broken bridges, with smoke and sand filling the city, who can bear the bitter wait? Not afraid of the vicissitudes of life, only fearing that the fallen flowers will have no one to appreciate their beauty... You opened my eyes wide yesterday." Lu Wushuang gazed gently at Lu Shaoyou.

  "It was just a momentary pleasure, I spoke without thinking, it doesn't count for anything." Lu Shaoyou said lightly.

  "Shao You, have you ever thought about your own future and Third Aunt's future?" Lu Wushuang said lightly.

  "Do you think I still have a future?" Lu Shaoyou asked with a faint smile.

  "From what I saw yesterday, I know you're not willing to give up either. However, you can't become a martial artist, let alone a spiritual one. Lü Shǎoyóu, if you've thought it through and need my help, come find me." Lü Wúsuāng said, gazing at Lü Shǎoyóu.

  "Peerless sister, I really have an urgent matter that I'd like to ask for your help?" Lu Shaoyou hesitated slightly, his face showing a hint of difficulty.

  "Speak up, if it's something I can do, I'll naturally help you." Lu Wushuang said, looking at Lu Shaoyou.

  "I'd like to borrow some gold coins, a considerable amount, twenty blocks of gold coins." Lu Shaoyou said with a hint of embarrassment, this was the first time in his past life and present life that he had asked a woman for money. Deep down, Lu Shaoyou was a male chauvinist, asking a woman for money was extremely embarrassing for him.

  "Twenty gold coins, it's not a lot, but also not too little. Can you tell me what you brought them for?" Lu Wushuang asked softly.

  "I'll tell you later, can't say for now." Lu Shaoyou said.

  "There are fifty gold coins here, I trust you. If it's not enough, go find me." Lu Wushuang said softly, while handing over a purse with a faint scent to Lu Shaoyou, which contained exactly fifty gold coins.

  "Thanks, Wuduo sister." After seeing the gold coins, Lu Shaoyou didn't say much more. He glanced at Lu Wuduo with a look in his eyes and secretly vowed that this favor would be repaid a thousand or ten thousand times over.

  "I'm leaving first, come find me if you need anything." Lu Wushuang said as she stood up and left. As she looked at Lu Shaoyou's eyes, she suddenly felt a daze, from yesterday in the backyard, she had already felt that Lu Shaoyou was somehow different. So today, she came specifically to feel it even more, but looking at the grown-up Lu Shaoyou, she felt that he had changed imperceptibly. From her intuition as an older sister, she sensed that this formerly honest and simple-minded younger brother had somehow gained something, seemingly gaining a bit of temperament.

  "The boat will naturally go straight to the bridgehead, fifty gold coins, and all troubles will be solved." Lu Shaoyou muttered to himself as he looked at the fifty gold coins in his hand.

  "Master, you're eating quite lavishly! I even brought you breakfast." Lu Xiaobai didn't know when he had arrived in the courtyard, staring at a table full of exquisite pastries and delicacies. The oil cake in his hand was quickly discarded to one side as he began devouring the food with gusto.

  "Hurry up and finish eating, then come out with me for a bit." Lu Shaoyou said.

  "Where can I go? I'm just a low-ranking servant and can't casually leave the house." said Lu Xiaobai.

  "What's there to be afraid of? Let's go, we'll leave from the back, no one will know." Lu Shaoyou said.

  "Alright, I'd like to go out for a stroll too." Lu Xiaobai said.

  The two of them immediately left the Lu residence through the back door, where they ran into old servant Nan Shu. Lu Shaoyou couldn't help but hum a tune of satisfaction - twenty gold coins were now his, and it seemed like he was telling Nan Shu that he was going to go buy materials.

  Walking onto the street, according to the memories in his mind, Lu Shao Yu was also quite familiar with everything in Qing Yun Town. This Qing Yun Town wasn't small either. Immediately, Lu Shao Yu and Lu Xiao Bai slowed down their pace, leisurely strolling on the bustling streets.

  Looking at the shops on both sides of the street, the dazzling array of exotic goods made Lu Shaoyou also open his eyes wide in wonder. This was also his first time going out for a stroll since arriving on the Spiritual Martial Continent.

  After strolling through several streets, Lu Shaoyou still didn't forget the main purpose of his outing, which was to buy the medicinal herbs written by Nan Shu. The medicinal herbs for refining elixirs were not something that ordinary shops sold; they could only be found in specialized shops.

  According to memory, Lu Shaoyou knew that the shops selling these materials in Qingyun Town were extremely rare and were controlled by a few families, with the Lu family being one of them.

  As Lu Shao walked through several streets, he turned into an alley and immediately appeared at another street entrance. This was the gathering place for all the martial artists in Qingyun Town. If one looked carefully, with good eyesight, it might be possible to see one or two spiritual beings mixed among them.

  This is a wide street, there are no crowds of people on the street, but it's also lively.

  Looking at the shops on both sides of the street, this street mainly sells medicinal materials, dan medicine and weapons.

  The decoration of these shops is also more luxurious and atmospheric than the shops on the adjacent street. The main people entering this street are warriors and spiritual practitioners, ordinary people rarely come here.

  A casual ingredient in a store here might be worth half a year's worth of food for an ordinary family.

  On this street, Lu Shao Yu looked far away and also saw a shop called Lu Family Medicine Shop. The decoration was luxurious, and from afar, there were two martial artists standing at the entrance.

  Lu's pharmacy also bought the same medicine as on the list, but Lu Shaoyou would not go to Lu's house and instead looked around the surrounding streets.

  "Tianbao Gate." Lu Shaoyou saw a shop called Tianbao Gate, and thought to himself that this Tianbao Gate seemed to be the business logo of the Dugu family, which was also the strongest business in Qingyun Town.

  Without hesitation, Lu Shaoyou directly walked into the Tianbao Gate. This store is big and it's likely that they have everything he needs to buy.

  "Master, what are you doing? Why are we going to Tianbao Gate?" Lu Xiaobai followed closely behind Lu Shaoyou, his eyes wide with fear. This Tianbao Gate was a place where warriors and spiritual practitioners came and went, and as a lowly slave, he had never set foot in such a luxurious place before.

  "Is this young master thinking of buying something?" Just as Lu Shao walked into the entrance of Tian Bao Gate, a voice came from behind.

  Listening to the sound, Lu Shaoyou raised his head and looked over, two men in uniform clothing were standing on both sides of him, while the speaker was the big man on the left.

  The two big men looked at Lu Shaoyou with respect in their eyes, mainly because Lu Shaoyou was now wearing the cyan long gown that Lu Wushuang had sent over early this morning. At a glance, it was clear that it wasn't something an ordinary person could wear. With Lu Xiaobai following closely behind him, dressed as a servant, Lu Shaoyou inadvertently became a real young master in people's eyes.

  "I want to buy some medicinal materials for refining Dan medicine." Lu Shaoyou said.

  "This way, please." The big man spoke and immediately led Lu Shaoyou forward with respect. Lu Xiaobai followed behind Lu Shaoyou in a daze, looking at the luxurious decorations inside Tianbao Gate and couldn't help but exclaim inwardly.

  Lu Shao Yu was gazing calmly at everything in the Tian Bao Gate, which had a vast area of over a thousand square meters. The things inside were dazzling to behold, and at first glance, Lu Shao Yu could recognize some weapons, armor, and other items that belonged to warriors and spiritual practitioners.

  At this time, there were also more than a dozen martial artists inside Tianbao Gate selecting items.
