Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Searching for Medicine

Qin Yi couldn’t figure out what Qin Wan’er was thinking in her little head? He had something to do and was preparing to leave.

Qin Wan’er pitifully tugged at Qin Yi’s coat corner, "Brother, what if Sister Lin hits me when you leave?"

She also knew that her earlier words had offended Lin Hongzhuang.

Lin Hongzhuang looked at Qin Wan’er with a half-smile, displaying her white teeth, giving off a demonic vibe. It was obvious she was telling Qin Wan’er that she’d deal with her once her brother left.

Qin Yi chuckled, "What should I do then? How about I tie her up and lock her in the bathroom, and let her out when I get back?"

Lin Hongzhuang’s eyes widened suddenly, "Do you believe I’ll stuff you down the toilet and flush you to the Tang Dynasty?"

Qin Wan’er clung to Qin Yi’s arm, acting spoiled, "Brother, look how fierce Sister Lin is. She will definitely deal with me once you leave. Take me with you wherever you go? I promise to cause trouble for you."

Qin Yi couldn’t help but laugh, so it turned out Qin Wan’er said all that just to go out with him.

"Go change your shoes."

Qin Wan’er cheered and ran off to change her shoes since she was wearing slippers at home.

Qin Yi looked at Lin Hongzhuang, "Do you want to come with me?"

"Go where?"

"Just strolling around, it’s too stuffy staying at home."

Lin Hongzhuang had little interest, "Then take Wan’er with you, I still need my beauty sleep."

Qin Yi shrugged, went downstairs, and left with Qin Wan’er.

Qin Yi had a clear purpose, heading straight to the herbal market.

Because he needed to cleanse and refine Xia Yanbing and the others’ bodies, and improve their physiques and bloodlines, he needed quite a few rare herbs.

"Brother, are you sick?"

Seeing that they arrived at the herbal market, Qin Wan’er asked worriedly.

Qin Yi shook his head and said, "No, I’m just looking for some herbs. Before teaching you cultivation, you need to first improve your physique."

Qin Wan’er immediately smiled, "If I cultivate, will I become as powerful as my brother?"

Qin Yi nodded.

"That’s great. I want to become as powerful as Chairman Xue, and help my brother fight monsters in the future."

Qin Yi smiled wryly, not expecting Xue Aoyu to become the idol of these three women.

However, after wandering around the market twice, they couldn’t find any of the needed herbs.

Qin Yi wasn’t disappointed because he knew when he came that the herbs required for the cleansing and refining process were at least low-grade spiritual medicine. He was just gambling on his luck. After all, he had seen the White Dragon Scale at the market last time.

Thinking of the White Dragon Scale, Qin Yi couldn’t help but remember Lan Jiaojiao. He and Lan Jiaojiao met here because of the White Dragon Scale. This woman left without a word, and now he didn’t know where she was.

"Brother, don’t we have the herbs we need?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly, "The herbs required to cleanse and refine are not ordinary medicinal herbs, they’re spiritual medicines that can only be stumbled upon by chance and luck."

"It’s okay, we’ll keep looking, we’ll surely find them eventually."

Qin Yi nodded, determined, and continued searching with Qin Wan’er.

"Damn it, are you tired of living? Daring to scheme against me, do you believe I’ll smash your head in? Either give me back my herbs or pay up, otherwise I’ll beat you to death."

Suddenly, an aggressive voice came from nearby.

Qin Yi and Qin Wan’er looked over curiously.

They saw a burly man, about 1.9 meters tall with a full beard, holding an old man’s coat collar, almost lifting the elderly man up.

Qin Wan’er angrily said, "This is too much! Bullying the elderly because of his own strength."

Qin Yi sniffed the air, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted into his nose.

This was the scent of White Jade Grass.

Qin Yi’s eyes lit up, and he followed the scent, surprisingly it led right where the burly man was bullying the old man.

The herbal fragrance was strongest here, there was no mistake.

Qin Yi looked at the stall, but all the herbs on it were ordinary, no White Jade Grass.

But the fragrance of White Jade Grass was definitely emanating from this stall.

"Damn it, you old fossil, how dare you trick me. Tell me, where did you hide my herbs? If you don’t give them back, I’ll beat you to death."

The burly man had dark, rough skin, like an iron tower. The old man, less than 1.7 meters, was held like a chick by the burly man, only his toes touching the ground.

"Hey, is it appropriate for someone as big as you to bully an old man?"

"I advise you to let go, or I’ll call the police."

"You don’t even look like a good person, maybe you’re a murderer, just despicable, even bullying the elderly."

The bystanders whispered among themselves, some raising their voices.

"Brother, please help this old man, he’s so pitiful!"

Qin Yi’s eyes flashed, stepping forward. Looking at the burly man, he said, "Brother, let’s talk it over, let him go first."

The burly man turned to look at Qin Yi. Seeing that Qin Yi had an extraordinary bearing, he swallowed his insults and said fiercely, "None of your business."

Qin Yi smiled, "You have to explain the situation so we can help you, right?"

People around nodded in agreement.

Qin Wan’er was a bit surprised, wondering why her brother was so polite to this bad guy?

The burly man indeed looked fierce, and his glaring eyes were quite unsettling. He looked at Qin Yi and said, "Can you really help me?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

The burly man thought for a moment, released the old man, and then explained the situation.

The burly man’s name is Li Dazhuang, from Li Village in Cheng’an County, Yinfeng City. While hunting rabbits in the mountains, he accidentally fell into a pit and discovered a plant that looked like jade.

Despite his rough appearance, Li Dazhuang was quite meticulous. He felt the plant was unusual and might sell for a good price, so he didn’t tell anyone and brought it alone to Yinfeng City.

Yinfeng City’s herbal market is famous, so upon arriving, Li Dazhuang went stall by stall asking if anyone would buy it.

The old man was named Liu Jinsuo, which sounds like a woman’s name, but in the past, such naming was considered trendy.

Liu Jinsuo said he would buy the herbs, and they agreed on a price of twenty thousand yuan.

But after Li Dazhuang left the market, he found that except for the top and bottom bills, the rest of the two thousand yuan was counterfeit. So he returned to settle the account with Liu Jinsuo.

However, Liu Jinsuo completely denied having bought any herbs or given money to Li Dazhuang, which led to their conflict.

"He’s lying, I never met him. He’s just trying to extort me."

"Everyone, please judge for me. I, a little old man, usually pick herbs for sale to make a living. I never expected to be wronged like this. Please stand up for me."

"My wife is bedridden, our son and daughter don’t care about us, and I rely on this small business to make a living. Please spare me."

As soon as Li Dazhuang finished speaking, Liu Jinsuo started crying, with a snotty and teary face.

"How shameless, even swindling an old man’s hard-earned money."

"As expected, you can tell a person’s heart from their face, he doesn’t look like a good person."

"Such people should be shot."

The crowd was furious, cursing at Li Dazhuang.
