Jing Yunzhao was instead curious and politely said, "I am here to sell medicinal materials."

She pointed at the basket in front of her.

The man gave the basket a glance and said, "Come in."

After he finished speaking, he took the basket from Jing Yunzhao's hands. His strength wasn't small.

When Jing Yunzhao entered the yard, she was shocked. She only saw rows of racks for medical materials, medicine pots, and other things. However, it was obvious that things had been put away. Plus that strange jumble of smell from earlier was coming from this yard. But after coming close to the smell, she didn't think it was that unbearable.

"s.h.i.+fu is busy right now. I'll take these things. These Pilose Asiabell Roots of yours are of pretty good quality. I'll offer you ¥30 per jin. If you accept, I'll withdraw the money for you. If not, you can take these things and leave. And don't ever come here again." The man was very straightforward. His expressionless face was a bit frightening.

The price for the Pilose Asiabell Roots wasn't unreasonable. Jing Yunzhao also wasn't greedy so she nodded.

The man acted fast. After seeing Jing Yunzhao agreeing to the price, he quickly cleaned the Pilose Asiabell Roots and inspected them. His meticulousness was disturbing. If Jing Yunzhao didn't have astonis.h.i.+ng patience, she probably wouldn't do business with this kind of person either.

After the inspection was done, the man had a surprised expression. He didn't think the goods this time would be this good.

"I'll give you a ¥2 raise. Bring all of your good stuff here in the future," said the man.

After he finished talking, he went inside the house and soon walked out. He handed Jing Yunzhao cash. She counted more than ¥4,000.

"You'll take anything? No limits?" Jing Yunzhao asked.

"Yes." The man said coldly.

Jing Yunzhao's mood instantly became more relaxed. Even though the people of this house was a bit weird, but because of this sale, she at least won't be in desperate need of money anymore. And looking at the yard, there were many expensive and precious medicinal materials. The different types were not only complete but also abundant. She could see that the owner of this house wasn't lacking in money and could afford a few big trades.

Jing Yunzhao took the money and turned around to leave. However, when she only had one foot out the door, she heard a commotion coming from the house behind her. She couldn't help but turn to look.

"s.h.i.+fu, the Pilose Asiabell Roots just now, their quality is quite rare…" A grumpy old man walked out of the house. He looked a bit scary and the middle-aged man from earlier was speaking to him politely. He also had a smile and looked gentle and careful.

Jing Yunzhao looked at the old man.

The old man's white hair was messy. His clothes showed that he didn't care about his appearance. He wasn't extremely old, only around 60 or so. But his eyes were without light, expressionless. He seemed a little…pitiful.

Jing Yunzhao's stare was too noticeable. The old man's sharp eyes turned to her.

In the blink of an eye, the old man's pupils dilated. That body of his seemed to have a pretty sharp aura despite his age. He quickly and lightly moved as if he was flying. He charged straight towards Jing Yunzhao.

Jing Yunzhao's reflexes were pretty fast. When she saw the old man acting strangely, she dodged and stepped out of the door. The old man was heard saying, "Wait!"

Jing Yunzhao couldn't help but turn her head.

"What's your name?" The old man was looking at her. His eyes seemed as if he was in a trance, as if he was remembering something. There was glee but also disappointment. His eyes were confusing.

Even so, Jing Yunzhao responded, "Jing Yunzhao."
