Chapter 600 Helping in times of need

When Manager Wei arrived at the pharmacy first and found Shen Xu setting up the medicinal herbs to be displayed that day, he exclaimed with delight, "Boss, you're finally awake!"

"People can't sleep forever!" Shen Xu smiled.

"What exactly did you do, boss? Old Tang told me that those medicinal herb merchants who were unwilling to cooperate with us have now resumed their cooperation with us." Manager Wei asked with great curiosity.

"I stayed up all night to mediate a conflict."

"Huh?" Manager Wei asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's better not to know too much about some things."

"I apologize, it was my rudeness," Manager Wei said apologetically.

"By the way, it seems that a distinguished guest came to the pharmacy yesterday, wanting to buy some firefly grass from you, the owner."

I told him that we don't sell low-level spiritual herbs like firefly grass here, and that you didn't receive guests yesterday, so he said he would come again today.

"I think that person's identity might be more than just a simple matter; the boss should be careful," Manager Wei reminded him.

"You want to buy firefly grass from me?"

"I remember someone piled up a lot of firefly grass at Baicaofang the day before yesterday. Elder Wei, do you know where those firefly grasses ended up?" Shen Xu suddenly remembered that he seemed to have some assets that he hadn't dealt with yet.

Even if some of it was burned, there should be more left.

"It seems that some of it was burned, but most of it was probably taken away by Dan City! Anyway, those firefly grasses disappeared yesterday."

Moreover, after the firefly grass disappeared, and many merchants dared not buy it, Dan Ding City began to experience a shortage of firefly grass. It is said that a single firefly grass can now sell for thirty or forty Qi-Nourishing Pills on the black market.

"Profits are tempting, and I reckon someone will soon drive the price down."

"The boss sees things clearly," Manager Wei complimented.

"If that person comes again today, bring her to see me," Shen Xu instructed. If he wasn't mistaken, that person was the one from Dan City who was supposed to compensate him for his losses.

After some time, Manager Xiao and most of the employees arrived at Feng's Pharmacy.

Everyone was slightly surprised when they saw Shen Xu, but this was quickly overshadowed by delight.

Even if Shen Xu does nothing, that is their source of confidence.

The three managers of Feng's Pharmacy are: Manager Wei is the head manager, responsible for coordinating all affairs of the pharmacy, and is also Lao Qian's deputy, so he knows a lot.

Managers Xiao and Tang were in charge of buying and selling respectively, and both of them had a deep understanding of various spiritual herbs.

Old Qian had set up the rules and regulations of Feng's Pharmacy very well, and there was basically nothing he needed to modify.

After everyone had prepared everything for the Feng Clan Pharmacy, a clear bell rang out in the center of the city, marking the official start of a new day in Dan Ding City.

Dingyuan Avenue gradually recovered from its silence, with nearly a thousand businesses opening for business at the same time, which can be considered a great sight in Danding City.

"Old Xiao, could you have someone check the current prices of these pills for me?" Shen Xu handed the newly copied list of pill names to Shopkeeper Xiao.

"Alright! When does the master need it?" Manager Xiao asked.

"Of course the sooner the better."

"Yes! I will give the employer an answer as soon as possible."

Just as Shen Xu was about to turn and leave, a gentle and pleasant voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears, "Excuse me, is this Feng's Pharmacy?"

The pleasant and melodious voice immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Shen Xu saw a tall, graceful woman in purple standing prettily in front of the door. The golden morning sun shone on her beautiful face, outlining incredibly charming and soft curves.

"There is only one Feng Family Pharmacy in the entire Dan Ding City. May I ask what business this young lady has with us?" Manager Wei greeted her with a smile.

Seeing this, Shen Xu was about to leave when he heard the woman ask, "I'd like to buy a 300-year-old 'purple agarwood fruit,' do you have any?"

"How did you learn that we have 300-year-old 'purple agarwood fruit' here?" Manager Wei asked.

“My elders mentioned it before.” The woman in purple maintained a polite smile throughout.

Upon hearing this, Manager Wei couldn't help but look at Shen Xu.

"Elder Wei, I will personally receive this guest." Shen Xu approached the woman in purple.

Having been here for so many days, he had become somewhat familiar with the code words of the Feng Clan Pharmacy. This woman in purple was probably from the headquarters.

"Please follow me, guest."

"Are you the new owner of Feng's Pharmacy?"

On the way to the study, the woman asked a question, her voice as soft as a feather brushing past his ear.

"Hmm!" Shen Xu nodded, his intuition telling him that this woman was definitely a problem.

"My name is Yan Zihuai, you can call me Zihuai." The woman revealed a charming smile.

Seeing that Shen Xu did not respond to her, Yan Zihuai was not annoyed. She simply followed behind Shen Xu silently, carefully observing the man who had taken her father's place.

Yan Zihuai's gaze made Shen Xu feel uneasy. He had a feeling that this woman was coming for him, but Liu Ye did not give him any feedback.

Often, the unknown dangers are far more terrifying than the obvious ones.

Shen Xu was stunned when he pushed open the door.

Chi Xiaorou had actually fallen asleep in his seat, which left Shen Xu somewhat at a loss.

"I told you to sleep here, not here!"

The woman behind them didn't know why she was there. If she was someone checking their work, Chi Xiaorou would have been caught red-handed.

"Cough cough cough~" Without hesitation, Shen Xu immediately started coughing loudly.

Chi Xiaorou was also successfully awakened by his coughing, and in her daze, she had no idea what was going on.

"Are you alright?" Yan Zihuai asked with some concern.

"It's alright, I just caught a slight cold recently." Shen Xu explained, forcing a smile, as he closed the door.

"A cold? Can cultivators also get illnesses that mortals suffer from?"

"Everyone's constitution is different; I am relatively weak."

"I have some medical knowledge. Would you be willing to let me examine you?" Yan Zihuai said with a bright smile.

"I couldn't ask for more, then I'll have to trouble Miss Yan." He needed to buy enough time for Chi Xiaorou inside.

"You haven't introduced yourself to me yet."

"My name is Wu Hen."

"So it's Young Master Wu. Please extend your hand, Young Master Wu."

Shen Xu hesitated for a moment before extending his palm to Yan Zihuai, and Yan Zihuai also extended three slender, fair fingers and placed them on his wrist through her sleeve.

After a moment, Yan Zihuai frowned and murmured, "The soul light leaks away like flowing sand, and the divine thoughts drift like gossamer threads..."

"A miracle doctor! Your description is so accurate." Shen Xu's eyes lit up with surprise, and he hurriedly asked, "I wonder if Miss Yan can be saved?"

Yan Zihuai stared blankly at Shen Xu in front of her, then smiled and said, "I have an ancestral formula for nourishing the soul, which seems to be specifically for your symptoms, Young Master Wu. I wonder if Young Master Wu would be willing to give it a try."

"Of course I'm willing." Shen Xu immediately showed a look of surprise. It was like a pillow being delivered when he was sleepy. He had been worrying about his soul.

Just then, the study door suddenly opened from the inside. "I think you've had enough of talking."

Chi Xiaorou looked at Yan Zihuai with an unfriendly gaze.
