“Shopkeeper, this Star Spirit Grass is selling for one silver coin?” Baili Hongzhuang suppressed her internal excitement and quietly asked.

Ji Wenbin nodded. “That’s right, Star Spirit Grass doesn’t have much use and I only accepted it because it is rather rare. If you’re interested, I can give it to you.”

The moment he said that Baili Hongzhuang felt as if happiness had come too suddenly. During the refining process of many elixirs, the Star Spirit Grass was a required ingredient. If it was in the past, it would be placed in an Auction House to be fought over!

Why did it become unwanted garbage after a thousand years? These people were too ignorant!

“How can I accept this? I’ll purchase it instead.” Baili Hongzhuang faintly smiled. “Other than this I’d like to have White Dew Grass and Henbane…”

“Hold on while I grab those medicinal ingredients for you,” Ji Wenbin said with a smile.

It wasn’t until she walked out of the medicine shop that she could believe that she had used only one silver coin to purchase Star Spirit Grass!

“Ever since my traversing, this world has become a fantasy.” Baili Hongzhuang secretly lamented. However, the smile creeping up on the corner of her lips could not be stopped. She has truly picked up a great deal!

From her conversation with Ji Wenbin, she learned that many of the elixir prescriptions from thousands of years ago had been lost. Right now, the number of elixirs was very little, and Alchemists were extremely respected here!

Precisely due to the loss of prescriptions, a number of precious medicinal ingredients, such as the Star Spirit Grass, were now useless. As time passed, their prices have also changed.

Knowing this, Baili Hongzhuang was in a great mood. Other people did not know the prescriptions, but she did!

From the looks of it, there was no one who would fight with her over the precious medicinal ingredients that she required and it was simply a pie that had dropped from the skies!

“Even though the pie is good, I still need to have funds!” Baili Hongzhuang frowned. She had originally wanted to refine a Congregate Pill to speed up her cultivation and thus, purchased some medicinal ingredients. However, she still lacked a Bone Spirit Flower.

The price of a Bone Spirit Flower was very high and coupled with the money she needed to purchase a furnace, her savings were far from enough!

She had always been cooped up in the General Estate and there was no one to give her any money to spend. As a result, all her savings when added together only amounted to five gold coins and it could be said that she was somewhat poor.

“Sigh, the poor can’t afford to be hurt!”

Baili Hongzhuang sighed. The urgent priority now was to earn more money. Otherwise, none of her plans could be executed.

Speaking of money, that beautiful and rogue-like face surfaced in her mind. He was a prince for goodness sake and yet, he was so stingy. If he gave her a hundred gold coins, she would not be so penniless and frustrated!

She made her way to the blacksmith to place an order for silver needles. After which, Baili Hongzhuang was completely penniless and so she planned to return to the General Estate at once.

However, her face slightly changed while walking, as she noticed someone shadowing her!

She slowly increased her pace and walked towards the direction of an alley. She wanted to see who was shadowing her!

After turning at a crossroads, Baili Hongzhuang suddenly disappeared.

“Eh? Why did she disappear?”

“She was clearly here earlier. She’s someone His Highness fancies and we would be in trouble if we lose her!”

On the rooftop, Baili Hongzhuang looked at the duo who were as anxious as ants. Her face was filled with indifference and her eyes sparkled with a mocking glint.

These two people were no strangers to her. They were Xuan Yuanhuan’s followers and she received no lack of mocking and ridicule from them in the past!

“Bang! Bang!”

Baili Hongzhuang suddenly leaped down. With the sound of two objects being struck, Zhang Ping and Song Ji were knocked out by her.
