Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor - Chapter 1966
Chapter 1966: Having the money but can’t buy the pills
Leng Hua didn’t say much and just accompanied them looking around the second floor. One of the Patriarchs fancied a medicinal pill, but he didn’t have the comparable spirit herbs. “Steward Leng, is it possible to convert the three spirit herbs to gold coins? I don’t have them at home, but I am in dire need of this pill. Can you accommodate this?”
“I’m sorry, but the rules are set by my master. We can’t break them.” Leng Hua answered considerately.
“What if I pay double?” That Patriarch, unwilling to give up, kept making his request. However, without waiting for Leng Hua to answer, a person next to him sneered.
“Do you think everything can be resolved with money? Does the Heavenly Pill Tower look like it’s short of money to you?” It was a slightly fat middle-aged man in ornate clothes. With both hands clasping his stomach, he looked at Leng Hua. “Steward Leng, I’ll take this elixir. I happen to have these three spirit herbs at home.” As he said that, he looked proudly at the Patriarch. “It seems that you have no fate with this medicinal pill.”
“You can, everything has to follow the procedure.” Leng Hua replied. Suddenly, there was a commotion downstairs. He frowned slightly and raised his voice to the air. “Go down and see what’s going on.”
“Yes!”
Someone answered from the hidden place. Immediately, a black figure flashed out like a ghost. His speed made everyone startled.
They knew there were people keeping watch inside. However, they didn’t expect that the person hid his breath really well and his speed to reach such a high velocity.
The man in black went down in a flash. But, they couldn’t find out how many people were watching in the dark on the second floor. What surprised them more was the young man in white who always had a gentle smile on his face. Using a simple sentence, he could mobilize such a strong talent. He’s absolutely unordinary.
With this thought, they could not help but look at the young man in front of them carefully. The young man didn’t look big, but he was calm and collected, and his face looked gentle as if he was never in a bad temper. More importantly, the people present had strength, yet they couldn’t see this young man’s cultivation.
Could this young man’s strength be higher than theirs? Was that why they couldn’t gauge his? That’s impossible. Otherwise, did he learn some tricks to conceal his strength?
While they were speculating, the man in black earlier came back in a flash behind Leng Hua and whispered a few words. They could hear that something happened on the first floor.
“You can take a look around. If there’s something that you like or if your family at home needs some medicine, you can register. We have special staff to deal with the handover.” Leng Hua spoke warmly. After a pause, he continued his speech. “There’s something downstairs. I’ll take a look, so please excuse me.”
“Yes, please go ahead, Steward Leng.”
The Alchemy Guild’s President nodded and answered with a smile. He watched the young man turn to leave. Then he looked at the medicinal pill. He had to say that the pills upstairs were more precious than that on the first floor. Any of the elixirs here was enough to make people crazy. On this day, the Heavenly Pill Tower put things on display like this. Not anyone had this kind of boldness.
Seeing Leng Hua left and hearing that something happened on the first floor, some Patriarchs wandered around. The more they saw, the more the itchings in their hearts grew.
Money was the only thing they had. They were either missing one or two of the three spirit herbs while some of them did not have it at all. They sighed inwardly but showed a tough outward appearance.
“Forget it, let’s go downstairs and watch the excitement!”
