Hearing Zhang Chu say that he wanted to refine pills, the yellow-skirted girl was stunned for a moment.
But soon, she smiled, “Alchemy?”
“You don’t believe it?”Zhang Chu asked.
The young girl said, “Of course I know that there are people in this world who can refine pills, but your words that you can refine pills do make people believe less.”
Zhang Chu then opened his mouth and asked, “Where is Huangfu Chang? You find him out.”
At this time, the young girl said, “My grandfather went out of town, purchasing herbs, and now there is only me in the shop, and …… if you can prove that you are indeed using it for your own alchemy, it’s not like I can’t sell it to you.”
“How can I prove it?”Zhang Chu asked.
At this moment, the young girl spoke, “You said you know how to make dan, dan masters aren’t the same as ordinary Chinese medicine practitioners, I’ve heard that the most basic skill of a dan master is to recognise medicine.”
“I’ll find a few random herbs, if you can recognise them, then I’ll believe you.”The young girl said.
Zhang Chu nodded, “Yes, pick up the medicine.”
Recognising medicines and picking up medicines, although Zhang Chu had never done it before, there was a lot of this kind of information in the divine Soul Fragment of the first Dan Spirit.
At this moment, the young girl directly turned around and went inside the counter.
She casually drew out a box of herbs and pushed it in front of Zhang Chu, “Tell me, what is this?”
Zhang Chu took a look at it, and it turned out to be some dark green coloured stones with a metallic luster.
This was something that the average person wouldn’t necessarily recognise, but Zhang Chu smiled, “This thing is Empty Green, also known as Green God Feather, and Ying Pulp Stone. Although this thing is a stone, it has water inside.”
“Huh? You really know it!”The young girl was instantly somewhat impressed with Zhang Chu.
Although identifying medicinal herbs was simple for the young girl, she knew that many young people of Zhang Chu’s age, not to mention Empty Green, even if they took a handful of Big Green Leaves and straw and placed them in front of them, many young people would not necessarily be able to distinguish them.
At this moment, the young girl took out a few more herbs one after another.
Zhang Chu was able to call out the names casually, while Zhang Chu smiled bitterly, “Your topic is also too simple, can this prove that I am an alchemist?”
The yellow-skirted maiden then laughed, “Good, since you are so confident, I will give you a good test.”
Saying that, the yellow-skirted maiden walked over to a pillbox that was placed on the ground, she opened the pillbox and casually grabbed some dried herbs and placed them in front of Zhang Chu.
“Let’s see what kind of medicine is this?”The young girl asked.
Zhang Chu swept a few eyes and immediately bristled, “This is not medicine, this is firewood.”
“Huh?”The young girl was instantly surprised, “You recognise it?”
Zhang Chu was speechless, “Of course I recognise it, this stuff is Artemisia Incarnata, but it was picked in the wrong season and can’t be used.”
Without the young girl having to ask more, Zhang Chu explained, “There’s a saying that March Inchworm and April Artemisia, May and June are used as firewood.”
“It means that Artemisia is actually a vegetable that can be used for food in April, when picked in March, it can be used as medicine for Yin Chen, and when it comes to May and June, it can only be used as firewood after it is picked.”
The young girl nodded her head repeatedly as she listened.
In fact, for many medicinal herbs, collecting them according to the season was also very important.
But to test Zhang Chu on this, it was obvious that he could not.
In fact, there was no need to say more, the young girl already knew that Zhang Chu was indeed very proficient in medicinal herbs.
So the young girl said, “Alright, I believe you are an alchemist now, I am Huangfu Zhi, what are your names?”
“Zhang Chu!”
“Shangguan Qingxue!”
The two people replied at the same time.
At this time, Huangfu Zhi said, “I’ve looked at the medicinal herbs you’re using, and there are some of them that I can pick up right now, and there are others that aren’t stored that much.”
Zhang Chu’s eyes lit up, “Oh? You first take out some of the ones that can be supplied and I’ll take a look, if they are indeed daoji medicinal herbs, then I’ll buy them from you specifically in the future.”
Huangfu Zhi then smiled slightly, “If you want to make large quantities of alchemy and take herbs from here in large quantities, then you’ll have to talk to my grandfather.”
“There are many medicinal herbs in this shop, all of which came from my grandfather personally going to the origin of the medicinal herbs and instructing some farmers on how to plant and harvest them, and the stockpile is not large.”
Zhang Chu nodded, “Understood.”
At this time, Huangfu Zhi turned around and first poured a cup of tea for Zhang Chu and Shangguan Qingxue.
“The two of you will use the tea first, and I will go grab some herbs for the two of you to go over.”At this moment, Huangfu Zhi’s attitude towards Zhang Chu became much more respectful.
Immediately after, she turned around and went to grab the medicinal herbs in accordance with Zhang Chu’s desired prescription.
Soon, Zhang Chu got some of the herbs he needed.
This time, Zhang Chu was very satisfied, just as Lv Yangming had said, all the herbs in this shop were authentic herbs.
All of the flavours, traits, and even the sizes and colours of the medicinal herbs were exactly the same as the medicinal herbs in Zhang Chu’s Divine Soul Memory!
Of course, the medicinal herbs were incomplete.
At this time, Zhang Chu asked, “Can you tell me how long it will probably take to get the rest of the medicinal herbs?”
“It’s urgent?”Huangfu Zhi asked.
Zhang Chu nodded, “There is indeed a little bit of a small hurry, I have a few friends who are in trouble and desperately need pills.”
“But I’ve heard that if a dan master refines pills, he needs to choose a good day, bathe and change his clothes, burn incense and pray, he needs to prepare for a long time, and he also needs to look for a specialised heaven and earth bells and spirits place before he can start refining pills ah.”Huangfu Zhi said.
Zhang Chu shook his head, “It doesn’t need to be that troublesome.”
“Ah?”Huangfu Zhi looked at Zhang Chu in surprise, seemingly doubting Zhang Chu’s truthfulness again.
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, said, “You don’t understand the matter of alchemy, I just want to know that the other medicinal herbs, roughly what time will I be able to get them.”
“Well ……,” Huangfu Zhi mused for a moment before saying, “Those medicinal herbs, I need to wait for my grandfather to return before I can get them.”
“Then when will your grandfather be back?”Zhang Chu asked.
Huangfu Zhi immediately said, “If you’re in a particular hurry, then I can call my grandfather right away, so that he can directly go and collect the medicinal herbs you need and come back right away.”
“Right, you give me your contact information as well, so when my grandpa returns, I’ll contact you right away.”
“At the latest …… five days at the latest!”Huangfu Zhi said.
Zhang Chu thought for a moment, five days, if he could get all the Dao medicinal herbs, it wouldn’t be unacceptable.
So Zhang Chu nodded and left contact information for Huangfu Zhi.
At this time, Shangguan Qingxue then asked, “So now these herbs, how much do they cost?”
“There’s no need for money.”Huangfu Zhi said.
“No need for money?”Shangguan Qingxue was surprised.
Here Huangfu Zhi said, “My grandfather has rules, if the guests do not get all the herbs, they will not collect money, when all the herbs are collected, a one-time settlement can be made.”
“There’s this kind of rule?”Shangguan Qingxue was surprised.
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, said, “That’s fine, in that case, the medicinal herbs will also be placed on your side first, and when they are all here, we will come to pick them up together.”
Huangfu Zhi instantly said, “You only need to leave an address for me, when the herbs are complete, my grandfather and I will personally send them over to you.”
“Is that good?”Zhang Chu was a bit puzzled.
Huangfu Zhi’s face, on the other hand, slightly blushed as she spoke, “Mainly, my grandpa actually likes alchemists, so if you don’t mind my grandpa watching you make pills, my grandpa will definitely have to personally send them over to you.”
“Fine!”Zhang Chu was indifferent.
Soon, Zhang Chu and Shangguan Qingxue left.
As for Huangfu Zhi, after seeing Zhang Chu leave, that bland expression instantly faded away, and instead, she had a face of excitement and joy.
“My God, an alchemist! In this world, there really is an alchemist!”
“If he really knows how to make pills, then won’t my mother be saved?”
“No, I have to tell my grandpa the news immediately!”
