With four billion in his possession, Yi Xiaoyan was unable to find a way to make more money in a short period of time. However, there was an urgent matter that he had to attend to.

That was the problem of increasing his strength.

Even though the main point of cultivation is to rely on one's own talent and hard work, the assistance of medicinal herbs is also essential.

After all, in the process of cultivation, one needed to consume a large amount of energy and also needed to use medicinal herbs to tap into their body's potential. Only then would they be able to improve more quickly.

Thus, Yi Xiaoyan decided to spend the four billion to buy some medicinal herbs. He was currently in the school, so his current strength was more than enough to handle everything. However, time was running out rapidly. Once he came into contact with the people outside, his current strength might not be enough.

He was a martial arts fanatic, so pursuing the pinnacle of martial arts was his greatest love.

He was indeed a little tired from studying at school every day. On the Saturday morning a week later, he sneaked out by himself without telling anyone. After all, when there were more people, his goal was much bigger.

After walking for a long distance, he finally arrived at the center of Fragrant City. He walked around the largest pharmacy, but he couldn't find the medicinal ingredients he needed. He really couldn't find any.

He originally thought that the larger the pharmacy was, the more medicinal ingredients he would be able to gather, and the faster he would be able to regain his strength.

However, he was wrong.

Those incomparably large pharmacies actually didn't sell any Chinese medicine, they were all Western medicine.

After searching so many small clinics and pharmacies, he finally got a piece of news from everyone. It was that there was a pharmacy that worked with them, and they were all selling traditional Chinese medicine. The business was very good, and the variety was also very complete.

He also knew that nowadays, there weren't many people that were willing to see Chinese medicine. It wasn't that people didn't believe in Chinese medicine, but they also knew that these years there weren't many that were truly talented in Chinese medicine, so Chinese medicine gradually declined. At this point, the entire Chinese market was monopolized by western medicine.

No one could be blamed for that, because in the previous Chinese medicine, there were indeed too many quack doctors. Too many swindlers had completely hurt the hearts of the people. There was no other way, which was the reason for the current situation.

At this thought, Yi Xiaoyan couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Although he was a martial artist who had reached sage realm, as a Chinese person, he still hoped to reestablish his reputation as a Chinese doctor. And he himself, you are indeed a Chinese doctor.

There weren't many people in China who knew acupuncture techniques, but Yi Xiaoyan could be considered an ancestor because he knew the purest acupuncture techniques.

As she thought about it, Yi Xiaoyan had already reached the entrance of the pharmacy.

This pharmacy was neither big nor small, but just looking at the decorations made it impossible for people to pay any attention to him.

This was simply another aspect of the shantytown. It was so tattered that even the signboard at the entrance could not see it clearly. If one did not look carefully, one would definitely not think that this was a pharmacy.

After entering, Yi Xiaoyan was convinced that she had not made the wrong decision. She could smell the rich aroma of medicinal herbs.

There wasn't a single employee in the shop, not even Yi Xiaoyan, the boss.

"Is there anyone here?" Yi Xiaoyan asked tentatively.

"Are you blind? I am not a human, could it be a ghost? " Suddenly, a person appeared from behind the counter. He had a dejected look on his face and looked very slovenly. His breath reeked of alcohol as he spoke to Yi Xiaoyan.

"Are you the owner of this store?" Yi Xiaoyan held herself back. Since everyone said there were good herbs here, there was no harm in holding back. As long as he could get the herbs he needed, it would be fine.

"It's not me, could it be you?" The man glared at Yi Xiaoyan.

"I mean, is that your usual attitude in business?" Yi Xiaoyan found this funny. This guy didn't seem to have any business background, nor did he have any characteristics of a merchant.

"Laozi's attitude has always been this way. If you're willing to buy, then buy. If not, then scram!" That person started shouting. As he spoke, a stream of air flowed out from his body. It seemed like he was about to erupt at any moment.

"Cultivator?" Yi Xiaoyan looked at him doubtfully, then burst out laughing. No wonder he had such an attitude. So he was a cultivator, but judging from the way he acted, he didn't seem to be that strong.

From the aura he emitted, Yi Xiaoyan was certain that he could easily subdue him.

"If you want to buy it, then buy it. If you don't want to buy it, then go away!" The man was not surprised that Yi Xiaoyan was able to tell his identity so quickly. After all, he was a cultivator himself, so it was not difficult for him to see through the other party.

Furthermore, the reason why he was so powerful was because his strength could already be considered above average among cultivators. Naturally, he was not afraid of anything.

He had only met two kinds of people who came here to buy medicinal herbs. One of them was Yi Xiaoyan, who was a cultivator. The second is the rich.

One was for training, the other was for recuperation.

But no matter what kind of person it was, there was no need for him to be too polite to them.

"Hehe, it's rare for a business like yours to not collapse even now. "Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with you. Show me the sample of the medicinal herbs you have here." Yi Xiaoyan smiled but did not continue the argument.

The other party seemed to be surprised by Yi Xiaoyan's attitude. He had always felt that something was amiss with Yi Xiaoyan.

He had been here selling medicinal herbs for such a long time, yet he had never met anyone with a higher cultivation level than him. This was because those with higher cultivation level were usually the ones who were looking for precious medicinal herbs themselves, or those who were paying tribute.

However, he still felt that he could not read Yi Xiaoyan's words. Since Yi Xiaoyan did not say anything, he was not in the mood to continue making a ruckus. He simply took out the sample of the ingredients.

"Wow, it's really not bad. You have quite a variety here." In the end, Yi Xiaoyan found three lists with names and pictures on them. Her lips curled up into a smile.

However, when he skimmed through the three lists, he revealed an expression of dissatisfaction, "Although there are a lot of different types, but there's almost nothing precious. Since you're a cultivator, you should understand that these things are useless to me. Are there any other good stuff? "

Yi Xiaoyan asked bluntly. She believed that if the man had only these few medicinal ingredients to nourish his body, they would have already ceased to exist. For him to still be alive, there must be some good stuff in store for him.

"Can you afford it?" That person did not move, but asked a question instead.

"There are four billion in it. Do you think I can afford it?" Yi Xiaoyan said as she waved the bank card in her hand.

"Fuck, you still think that it's worth four billion?" "A country bumpkin who has never seen the world!" The man muttered under his breath. He didn't want to quarrel with Yi Xiaoyan like the eighth nanny. Instead, he turned around and walked back into the house. "Follow me!"

"It's easy to hide good things inside." Yi Xiaoyan didn't take offense. He was already used to the other party's attitude, so he quickly followed suit.

Arriving at a warehouse, the person turned on the light.

Yi Xiaoyan was slightly surprised to see what was in front of her. This was not a very large room, yet there were crystal boxes arranged neatly. They were not ordinary crystal boxes. Anyone who knew them would be able to tell at a glance that they were made of thousand-year old ice.

Using a thousand-year cold ice to conserve medicinal ingredients was indeed a huge effort.

Furthermore, the owner was a very slovenly person. It was not easy for him to clean up the warehouse in such a neat and orderly manner.

"Take a look for yourself. There are labels on them. Pay first." The owner said with an expressionless face.

Yi Xiaoyan did not stand on ceremony either. She made her selection, and in a short while, she had picked all the medicinal ingredients he needed.

"How much is it?" Yi Xiaoyan asked, handing the list of ingredients to the shop owner.

"4 billion!" The owner said with an expressionless face.

"F * ck, what?" You said that it would cost four billion just these few medicinal herbs? Why don't you go f * * king rob them? " Yi Xiaoyan screamed at the top of her lungs. She was obviously taking advantage of the situation.

He regretted telling the guy about his current situation. The guy knew he had 4 billion yuan, but now he was trying to turn him into a pauper. This was daylight robbery.

"Do you want to!" The shopkeeper said coldly, not arguing with Yi Xiaoyan.

Just then, another voice came from outside the door. It was a woman's voice. "Is anyone here?"

"Do you want it? If you don't want it, then scram. My business is here. "Damn it, a poor bastard wants to buy medicinal ingredients." He then walked out of the warehouse by himself, ignoring Yi Xiaoyan.

"Hello, Boss. I need a piece of Lingzhi." The person said.

"How many years will it take?" The owner asked lightly.

At that moment, Yi Xiaoyan heard the conversation outside. She looked confused, and walked out. He felt that her voice sounded familiar.

"I said a thousand years, don't you have that? "Hur hur, a few decades will do." The woman said with a smile.

"Another poor bastard!" Even if the target was a woman, his mouth didn't seem to be willing to do any more good.

"What did you say?" When the woman heard this, she seemed very unwilling to believe her own ears. After reacting, she immediately questioned him loudly.

"Eh, Vice Captain Zhou, why are you here too?" Yi Xiaoyan walked out. When she saw that it was Zhou Bingzhi, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Yi Xiaoyan, it's you?" Zhou Bingzhi's face broke into a smile.

"Whoa, this dragon goes with the dragon and phoenix, and the mouse can make a hole in the ground. Even the poor live together." That shop owner's mouth was always so vicious. Seeing that the two of them actually knew each other, he could not help but speak up.

"Fucking hell, can you shut your stinking mouth? You don't know about medicinal herbs, yet you actually came out to sell medicine and your mother thinks about how to cheat people all day. Why don't you just go and die? " Yi Xiaoyan finally couldn't hold it in anymore. His relationship with Zhou Bingzhi wasn't that bad; at least they knew each other. He couldn't afford to lose his composure in front of a woman.

"What did you say?" You say that I don't know anything about medicinal herbs? You can actually say that I don't know anything about medicinal herbs? " Yi Xiaoyan and Zhou Bingzhi couldn't stand the noise any longer.
