"Do you know the person in the distance?" He looked up and squinted his eyes, then pointed towards a tall and thin middle-aged man and asked.

Shangguan Jingxiang and Shangguan Mu gazed into the distance for a moment after hearing his voice. Then they smiled and said, "That is our Shangguan Family's guest alchemist, Fan Jing."

"Oh? A guest alchemist? " Qingyang was a bit curious. Why was the Shangguan family's medicine master looking at him with a trace of malice and even hatred? However, he was still a person that had just entered the Xiantian realm, and Qingyang didn't take it to heart.

"Yes, he is the top pharmacist in the Shangguan family and even in the Northern Chi Prefecture." With a light reply, Shangguan Jingxiang turned to Fan Jing and loudly called out: "Uncle Jing!"

However, Shangguan Mu didn't seem to like the man.

Fan Jing's expression changed slightly when he heard Shangguan Mu's greeting. He slowly walked towards the three of them, but a warm smile hung on his slightly vulgar face. Qingyang could only sigh in his heart that this person had changed his face too quickly.

"Mu Er and Jingxiang." Smiling at the three in front of him, his gaze stopped on Qingyang as he asked in surprise, "May I know who this is?"

"This is Mr. Yang Chou who saved me and Mu Er in the Wild Ridge yesterday." Jingxiang also introduced him with a light smile.

"Oh? I heard of Mister's great name yesterday, but I haven't had the time to pay him a visit. Now that we've met each other here, it's truly fate! " Upon hearing Jingxiang's words, Fan Jing hurriedly smiled at Qingyang.

Qingyang nodded slightly. His expression was cold and he did not reply.

Actually, Qingyang understood that Fan Jing was just putting on an act. Just now, when he peeked at him from afar, there was a trace of malice in his eyes. Right now, it was as though they had met for the first time.

Qingyang couldn't be bothered to flatter such a hypocritical person. After all, he was just a Xiantian realm alchemist.

He glanced awkwardly at Qingyang, but Fan Jing was still able to maintain his composure. His expression instantly returned to normal as he smiled, "I heard that Mister wants to dispel the fire poison from the old man's body?"

"How is it?" Qingyang glanced disdainfully at Fan Jing as he replied with a cold voice.

"Oh? "I would like to consult you, sir. Would you be willing?" Taking a deep breath, Fan Jing's smile was a bit awkward.

"You?" He sized up Fan Jing and gave a cold snort. "Not worthy."

This time, it was Shangguan Jingxiang and Shangguan Mu's turn to feel awkward. After hearing Qingyang's tone, they were stunned for a moment before quickly saying, "Uncle Jing, this is Teacher's character."

"Sir, do you dare to?" With a cold laugh, Fan Jing's face turned slightly red. It was hard to tell whether he was angry or excited.

Upon hearing Fan Jing's words, the usually indifferent Qingyang burst out in laughter. However, his laughter was enough to send chills down the spines. "Are you provoking me?"

His heart tightened for no reason. However, the patriarch had also ordered this matter in his heart. Fan Jing seemed to be more confident, but he still didn't speak. He looked at Qingyang with a slightly evasive gaze.

"As you wish, tomorrow at noon, at the Shangguan Mansion." After saying these words, Qingyang didn't pay any attention to Shangguan Jingxiang and Jingxiang who were frozen on the spot. Instead, he walked past Fan Jing.

"Mister ?" Jing Xiang and Jing Xiang felt at a loss as they watched Qingyang slowly walk away. They hurriedly apologized, "Uncle Jing, this mister is just so arrogant. Don't mind him, we'll be leaving first."

On the other hand, Shangguan Mu continued to chase after Qingyang, leaving behind a slightly trembling Fan Jing who was staring hatefully at the three figures in the distance.

"Teacher, those words just now were really satisfying." When Shangguan Mu caught up to Qingyang, he said in a low, excited voice, "I've always seen Fan Jing as someone who doesn't recognize him."

"Oh? Why is that? According to what Jingxiang said, this person has always been a kind person, hasn't he? " Qingyang asked with a light smile.

"I don't know. I just hate Fan Jing from the bottom of my heart." Shaking his head, Shangguan Mu shrugged as if he couldn't figure it out.

Then, Jing Xiang also hesitated for a moment before asking, "Sir, why do you have such a bad attitude towards this Fan Jing? Could it be that there is a misunderstanding between the two of you? "

Qingyang laughed involuntarily when he heard this. His divine sense had been locked onto Fan Jing the entire time, so he naturally knew that Fan Jing's eyes, which were standing behind the three of them, were filled with malevolence and malice.

"Misunderstanding?" Shaking his head, Qingyang mimicked Shangguan Mu and answered with a shrug, "I just hate it."

The way he learned it made both Jingxiang and Jingxiang burst out in laughter. The grudge they had between them over the previous incident instantly disappeared.

"Teacher, take care of that Fan Jing tomorrow. Look at how arrogant he was just now. Pfft!" Snorting lightly, Shangguan Mu said with hatred.

He habitually touched the tip of his nose and said, "If you don't mention the person who ruined the mood, you guys should take me to the herb shop."

Hearing that Qingyang wanted to go to the herb shop to take a look, the two of them looked at him strangely. Shangguan Mu was slightly apologetic as he said, "Sir, there are no herb shops in the Northern Chi Country."

After hearing that, Qingyang spoke out, "How is that possible? Not a single herb shop in a county? "

When he saw Jingxiang nod to confirm that this was indeed the case, Qingyang suddenly felt that something was off. However, Shangguan Mu's next sentence left Qingyang at a loss whether to laugh or to cry.

"However, our Shangguan family is the biggest herb shop."

Looking at Shangguan Jingxiang who covered her mouth and Shangguan Mu who had a serious expression, Qingyang had a good impression of the two of them. They could joke with him like this, but he could also tell that the two of them were sincerely waiting for him.

The Shangguan family must have controlled the entry and exit of the medicinal herbs. Naturally, they would not allow the medicinal herbs shop to exist in the Northern Chi County. After he thought this through, Qingyang admired the Shangguan family's methods in the Northern Chi County.

"The Shangguan family has controlled the herbs. Would the Southern Rong Royal Family allow it?" However, Qingyang still had some doubts in his heart. After all, every county belonged to the South Rong family. The Shangguan family's actions would undoubtedly harm the South Rong family's interests.

"The Shangguan family is the only family of wood cultivators in the Land of South Rong. To the South Rong family, the benefits from a single county's medicinal herbs are far less than the value of the entire Shangguan family." Shangguan Jingxiang, as the Shangguan Family's eldest miss, naturally knew a little about it. Besides, this matter was not a secret, so she simply told him about it.

Qingyang understood after listening to Shangguan Jingxiang's words. During the country's war, a large number of wood cultivators in the army acted as scouts and healers, and they were much more effective than ordinary pharmacists or scouts. In exchange for a batch of wood cultivators, they sacrificed a county's worth of herbs.

"Sir, let's go home now and see if there are any herbs that Mister needs in the warehouse." Seeing Qingyang nod thoughtfully, Shangguan Mu said, "If there is, please feel free to take it away."

"Very well, I also need to prepare some medicinal plants to participate in the competition for the Medicine Board." Qing Yang softly said. In his heart, he vaguely felt that there was a plan to refine some medicinal pills in order to participate in the medicinal pill ranking.
