Following Jin Yao, Xiao Yan and Jin Yao slowly walked deeper into the Thousand Medicine Pavilion.
Because those five medicinal herbs were particularly precious, Jin Yao had them stored in a separate hall within the Thousand Medicine Pavilion, and this was the place that Xiao Yan and his companion were heading to.
Walking through the Thousand Medicine Pavilion, people would pass by Xiao Yan and his companion from time to time. When they saw the renowned owner of the Thousand Medicine Pavilion in Yan City, they couldn't help but be attracted by his stunning beauty and stop to admire him.
Only after Xiao Yan and the other person were out of sight did they reluctantly turn their gaze away. At the same time, they felt a surge of hostility towards the man who had been accompanying Jin Yao.
Xiao Yan naturally felt the hostile gazes directed at him from behind. He could only shake his head with a wry smile and quicken his pace. However, he unintentionally walked alongside Jin Yao in front of him, which made the murderous intent in the gazes of the group behind him even more frantic.
"Well..."
Feeling the increasingly icy gaze behind him, Xiao Yan's facial muscles twitched involuntarily. He glanced at the woman in the red dress beside him, Xiao Yan astonished.
No wonder this woman was able to establish herself in Yan City. Her strength was one aspect, but her seductive arts were even more terrifying!
She doesn't even have to lift a finger to make so many people infatuated with her; this kind of woman is the most dangerous!
Seeing the expression on Xiao Yan's face, Jin Yao smiled slightly and didn't say anything. However, her swaying figure became even more captivating.
In no time, the two arrived at a deserted spot within the Thousand Medicine Pavilion.
The once spacious hall had been reduced to just the corridor in front of them. At the end of the corridor was a pitch-black wall, making the place look like an extremely strange dead end.
Xiao Yan was already used to this and followed closely to the 'black wall'.
"Hehe, the medicinal herbs that Mr. Xiao Yan needs are in here."
Upon reaching the 'black wall', Jin Yao casually chuckled, then gently raised her hand and slowly pressed her palm against the 'black wall' in front of her.
"Click click click..."
Immediately afterwards, the pitch-black wall began to tremble slightly. Jin Yao took half a step back, and the 'black wall' in front of her slowly opened with a series of clicking sounds.
Behind the wall was a sealed stone chamber, surrounded by thick stone walls that completely isolated the space from the outside world. The only exit leading to the outside world was the stone door where Xiao Yan and his companion were standing.
Inside the stone chamber, the white pearls on the walls emitted a soft, faint light, illuminating the entire chamber.
At a glance, Xiao Yan saw a huge stone pillar, wider than a person, standing in the very center of the stone chamber. The pillar extended to the dome, supporting the entire stone chamber.
The stone pillar was entirely black, with reliefs of magical beasts carved on it, as well as some obscure and difficult-to-understand text.
On a small platform carved out of the stone pillar, a small, palm-sized, unidentified fragment hung. Although Xiao Yan was slightly curious about it, he quickly ignored it.
With his eyes scanning the surroundings, Xiao Yan quickly discovered a large number of medicinal herbs, some special metal materials, and even a few strange things that Xiao Yan couldn't understand.
Moreover, what surprised Xiao Yan the most was that all the medicinal herbs in the stone chamber were alive!
Unlike typical pharmacies that store medicinal herbs in jade boxes, these herbs are cultivated here under special conditions. This not only ensures the maximum preservation of the herbs' medicinal properties but also significantly increases their value when sold, bringing greater profits to the pharmacy.
It must be said that Thousand Medicine Pavilion's approach is truly admirable!
Most rare medicinal herbs have different growing conditions. If you want to grow rare medicinal herbs in this kind of stone chamber, you not only need to have a deep understanding of the herbs, but also master their living environment. If you fail to master either one, it is very likely to cause the loss of the herbs.
At this moment, all the medicinal herbs placed before Xiao Yan's eyes were thriving, clearly cultivated to an extremely good standard. This alone was enough to prove the difference between the Thousand Medicine Pavilion and others.
Seeing the look of amazement on Xiao Yan's face, Jin Yao couldn't help but chuckle to herself. She had spent a considerable amount of money building this stone chamber to perfectly preserve the medicinal properties of these herbs, but she was extremely satisfied with its function. Seeing Xiao Yan's expression now, she couldn't help but feel a little smug.
"Hehe, Mr. Xiao Yan, the medicinal herbs you need are in here, please!"
With her red lips slightly pursed, Jin Yao bowed slightly to Xiao Yan, gestured for him to proceed, and smiled.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded, and with a swift movement, he leaped into the stone chamber.
Upon entering the stone chamber, Xiao Yan made no attempt to be polite and went straight to the patch of medicinal herbs. His sharp gaze instantly locked onto five of the herbs he needed. As for the others, although Xiao Yan was tempted, he didn't give them another glance.
"Although it's not much, I hope Mr. Xiao Yan won't mind."
Just as Xiao Yan was putting the five medicinal herbs into his Storage Ring, Jin Yao's slightly apologetic voice came from behind him.
"Hehe, Master Jin, there's no need to worry. I'm already quite satisfied with finding these."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan turned around and smiled slightly at Jin Yao. At the same time, he put the last medicinal herb into his Storage Ring and said.
After storing the five medicinal herbs in his Storage Ring, Xiao Yan felt much more at ease. His expression relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief before turning to leave the stone chamber.
However, just as Xiao Yan reached the door, the Gu You within his body suddenly spoke, and Xiao Yan's steps abruptly froze.
"Young man, wait a minute. There's something I think is very important for you to take a look at."
The aged, solemn voice, like a steel nail, instantly froze Xiao Yan in place, while a feeling of surprise suddenly arose in his heart.
For Gu You to speak of it in such a tone, then this thing must be extraordinary!
Xiao Yan slowly narrowed his eyes, silently thinking to himself.
