East Market, Yang's Medicine Shop.
Outside, fine rain fell like silk. A young gentleman in white stood at the medicine shop's entrance with an umbrella, warmly greeting the proprietor who had just arrived:
"Master Yang."
"It's raining today. Sorry for the wait, Young Master Xie. I've contacted the seller, and they'll be here shortly. Come in, come in..."
"Good..."
Meanwhile, on the second floor of a cloth shop on the same street, Nangong Ye stood at a window in a veiled hat, watching the medicine shop through a gap, his brows faintly knitted.
When he had run into Xie Jinhuan at the entrance to East Market earlier, Nangong Ye had already harbored some suspicions about why he was visiting so early.
Now, seeing Xie Jinhuan meeting Yang Sichen, he naturally understood who the mysterious buyer of the Jiazi Lotus was.
Though he did not understand why Xie Jinhuan, with his Third Grade cultivation, wanted a Jiazi Lotus that only someone at Transcendent Grade could use, he was absolutely certain the boy had no Resurrection Herb!
After all, trading Resurrection Herb for Jiazi Lotus Root was a perfectly fair exchange. If Xie Jinhuan had any, with his current reputation and connections, he could simply give it to the Pill King or the Directorate of Celestial Observation and exchange it for a Jiazi Lotus Root from the state treasury. The Imperial Court had no reason to refuse. There was no need to risk having the patriarch seize it by force by coming to trade with a stranger.
Since he has no Resurrection Herb, what is he after, secretly inviting this Daoist out?
Does he intend to use that silver tongue and his Secret Technique for detoxification to get the treasure in my possession for free?
