  "How do you plan to sell this picture book?"

  Ye Qin's expression remained unchanged, his tone was very calm, as if he was asking about something of no value.

  That dark man had been paying attention to Ye Qin's expression all along, but after seeing Ye Qin flip through the book, he remained unmoved and didn't take it seriously. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. However, since Ye Qin asked about the price, he still enthusiastically recommended the book.

  "This rare herb compendium is really great, not only does it record detailed illustrations, but also complete formulas. If little brother can manufacture any of the medicines inside to sell, he will definitely make a lot of money. Unfortunately, I'm not in this line of work and don't understand pharmaceuticals, otherwise I wouldn't be selling this book. One price, one gold leaf, absolutely worth it. What does little brother think?"

  "I believe everything recorded inside is rare and precious herbs, because the precious herbs recorded inside, I've all seen them in the medicinal herb spectrum of the pharmacy, not a single one is different. But you're selling me this book for a gold leaf, isn't that cheating? This book isn't worth this much money. At most ten silver leaves, if you're willing to sell, I'll take it away, otherwise forget it."

  Ye Qin held the old and worn-out "Bencao Tujing" in his hand, dusting off the dirt on it.

  That man also became anxious: "How can it not be worth this money, inside there are medicinal formulas. Any one of the formulas is worth this price."

  Ye Qin sneered, "The rare herbs recorded inside can't be found anywhere. What's the use of just having a formula? I've been in the Medicine Pavilion for so many years and haven't seen even a few stalks of those herbs. Besides, there are countless formulas in the Medicine Pavilion. This attached formula of yours doesn't count as some kind of unique formula. If you don't believe me, take this illustrated manual to the Medicine Pavilion and sell it to the masters there. See if they'll accept it."

  When Ye Qin mentioned selling the book to the Medicine Hall, the dark-skinned man was immediately disheartened. In fact, he had also been to the Medicine Hall and wanted to sell this illustrated manual at a high price, but unfortunately, one of the medicine appraisers in the hall just flipped through it for a few moments before directly returning it to him, saying that the book was all about some well-documented medicinal herbs and formulas, which were worthless.

  This swarthy man had been wanting to find a young and inexperienced apprentice of the Medicine King Hall to sell this book to. He happened to meet Ye Qin, but he didn't expect Ye Qin to be so experienced and have such poisonous eyes that he wouldn't fall for it.

  "Don't look at this book, it records a lot of rare medicinal herbs and some formulas. But this book is worth no more than ten silver leaves. Ordinary people who get this book can't use it because they don't understand how to identify or make medicine. For us professionals who specialize in medicinal herbs, it's also useless. The medicinal herbs recorded inside are too rare, you might not even see one plant in a decade or two, and some haven't appeared in the past fifty or sixty years. What's the use of having formulas without the herbs? I bought this book just to keep it for reference."

  "Fifty Silver Leaves!"

  "Thirteen!"

  "Twenty pieces, that's the price, I won't sell it any lower!"

  The dark-faced man's face was full of heartache, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

  Ye Qin thought for a moment, and the price was within his psychological tolerance, so he took out twenty silver leaves and exchanged them with the man for this copy of "Precious Herb Spectrum". Afterwards, Ye Qin continued to stroll around other stalls in the market, wanting to see if there were any spiritual stones. However, after searching through the entire market, there were no special discoveries.

  This spiritual stone, unless he personally tries it out, is difficult to determine whether it can be moved into the purple mansion with divine consciousness. However, in a bustling market like this, he cannot try it out, and can only use visual inspection and feeling to see if the stones on the stall are spiritual stones. Unfortunately, such visual inspection has almost no effect, because simple visual inspection cannot distinguish between spiritual stone and ordinary stone.

  Ye Qin didn't make any special discoveries and left the market with only one purchase, "Precious Grass Identification".

  Although he didn't find the Ling Stone, getting this album was a pretty good harvest. On the last few pages of the album, he actually saw a picture of dewy grass: a solitary little blade of grass with a drop of dew hanging from the tip of its leaves.

  At that time, when he first saw the picture of Lu Cao on the stall, he almost revealed a look of surprise. Fortunately, he had already cultivated the first layer of Gongfa to perfection and was able to completely control his expression, otherwise, he would have probably shown a startled expression on the spot.

  Leaving the trading market, walking on the streets of the county town, Ye Qin eagerly opened the rare herb manual again, and once again confirmed that it was indeed a rare herb. The rare herb manual also directly referred to this exceptionally rare little grass as "露草" (Lù Cǎo), a name that was very fitting.

  It also records the medicinal properties, efficacy and morphology of Lu Cao.

  Inside, there was also a pharmaceutical formula attached, with the precious Lu Cao as the main medicine, and more than ten flavors of rare but not precious medicinal materials as auxiliary medicines, making a kind of top-grade tonic called "Qing Xin Wan", specially used for adjusting the inner breath of Jianghu people who have entered madness due to excessive internal energy.

  According to Ye Qin's knowledge, there are many types of medicinal herbs specifically used to treat internal fire entering the devil. They are divided into lower-grade, middle-grade, upper-grade and top-grade, which can counteract internal fire entering the devil at different levels. The more severe the internal fire entering the devil, the higher the grade of medicinal herb needed to resolve it.

  Qingxin Wan is one of the top-grade tonics, no matter how severe the symptoms of entering madness are, it can be adjusted. However, because Lu Cao is too rare, in the Jianghu of Pingzhou, there has been no appearance of this top-grade tonic for decades.

  Most of the breath-regulating medicines available in the world are between top-grade and inferior ones.

  Within Pingzhou's borders, among the top-notch masters of Jianghu, a considerable number of people die every year due to walking fire into madness. Having an extra high-quality Clear Mind Pill is almost like having an extra get-out-of-death-free card.

  Ye Qin's purple mansion still had dozens of Lu Cao grasses left, so he thought about making one or two Qing Xin pills for himself as a precaution. In case something went wrong during his cultivation that day, it would be good to have some life-saving medicine on hand. Anyway, the main flavor herbs were already available, and using up one strand of Lu Cao grass wouldn't affect his cultivation progress much.

  Ye Qin put away the map, weighed his money bag, and still had more than 160 silver leaves that hadn't been spent. He walked briskly to several jade shops in the county town. He didn't have too much hope, just going to take a casual look. If he could find the Ling Stone, it would be great; if not, there was nothing he could do about it.

  Those who specialize in jade business must be more familiar with various strange stones than him, and perhaps know where there are spiritual stones. Even if he has to pay a huge price for this, he is determined to get it.
