"This... Our shopkeeper instructed us not to disturb him while he was cultivating unless it was something especially important." Zhao Sisi looked troubled.
Lin Yurou's expression turned cold, and she frowned. "This is a very large deal, and I'll only discuss it with your shopkeeper. You wouldn't turn away Spirit Stones, would you?"
"This... All right! Please wait here a moment, Senior. I'll go inform him right away." Zhao Sisi hesitated briefly, then agreed.
"Zijie, make tea for Senior and see to her hospitality. I'll go inform the shopkeeper."
After giving the order, she headed toward the basement.
Lin Yurou sat down in a jade chair and waited quietly.
Before long, Shi Yue came up from the basement.
"Sisi, brew a cup of Jade Dragon Tea for this fellow cultivator." Shi Yue instructed Zhao Sisi, then sat down beside Lin Yurou.
Zhao Sisi acknowledged the order and went to prepare it.
"I'm Lin Yurou of the Black Jade Sect. May I ask your name?" Lin Yurou offered a polite greeting.
Shi Yue nodded. "I'm Shi Yue, the shopkeeper of the Immortal Herb Pavilion. Sisi said you have a big deal to discuss with me. You can tell me about it now."
"I looked through your shop's ledger for reserved Spirit Herbs. Your shop accepts reservations for Spirit Bamboos and Spirit Trees. I'd like to reserve three hundred and sixty eight-hundred-year-old Fire Cloud Bamboos. Oh, and their roots must be intact so they can be replanted. Do you have them, and how long would it take to get them?"
"Fire Cloud Bamboo?" Shi Yue's brows knit slightly. Fire Cloud Bamboo was a Fire Attribute Spirit Bamboo that could be used in artifact refining. But Lin Yurou wanted enough Fire Cloud Bamboo to replant, and more than three hundred stalks at that.
