Strongest Eccentric Consort Chapter 297 – : Master Huo

“You know what I'm saying.” Master Huo chased behind Lou Qianxue. His tone was calm yet filled with awe.

Lou Qianxue turned around and carefully sized up this uninvited guest.

“I've paid for this bunch of herbs. It's already mine now.”

Master Huo snorted, narrowed his eyes, and shot a cold and dangerous gaze at her. “It's purple bamboo leaves that the Alchemy Union sold to you, not purple frost sacred bamboo.”

“Purple frost sacred bamboo? What's that? Could it be the herbs in that young lady's hands…”

“How's it possible! The medicine boy and Young Master Yang both said that those were purple bamboo leaves, third-grade purple bamboo leaves. How is it possible that they are purple frost sacred bamboo?”

“Nothing's wrong with Master Huo, why did he suddenly talk about purple frost sacred bamboo?”

In the entire place, only Lou Qianxue and Master Huo knew what they were talking about.

Lou Qianxue glanced at the purple frost sacred bamboo in her hands and frowned even more deeply. “I don't want the rest of the third-grade herbs. I only want this bunch. How's that? The price of those third-grade herbs should be able to match this bunch of purple frost sacred bamboo.”

Purple frost sacred bamboo was a fifth-grade herb. It was extremely rare in the Tian Zhao Dynasty; one could only chance upon it with luck, and it was priceless. If Lou Qianxue missed it this time, it would be very difficult for her to find another bunch within a short period.

“How could the purple frost sacred bamboo, a fifth-grade herb, be compared to these third-grade herbs? However, I could've never expected that you would recognize the herbs that even I mistook for something else. If not for that fellow from the Yang family s.n.a.t.c.hing the herbs from you just now, I wouldn't have glanced at them again. Perhaps, you would have really obtained this bunch of purple frost sacred bamboo.”

When everyone heard this, they sucked in their breaths one after another.

“Purple frost sacred bamboo? Fifth-grade spiritual herbs!!!”

“They are actually fifth-grade spiritual herbs!!!”

“No wonder, no wonder that young lady earlier said that Young Master Yang, who was merely a third-grade alchemist, was not qualified to use these herbs. These were actually not third-grade spiritual herbs, purple bamboo leaves, but fifth-grade spiritual herbs, purple frost sacred bamboo. That was why she said Young Master Yang couldn't use them!”

“Could it be that she had already known that those were not purple bamboo leaves, but purple frost sacred bamboo? If so, it explains why she did not hesitate to offend Young Master Yang and insisted on wanting that bunch of spiritual herbs.”

“Blockhead! This young lady could even recognize the purple frost sacred bamboo that Master Huo mistook for something else. Her background is definitely extraordinary. What's the big deal in offending a Young Master Yang?”

“Yes! She could even recognize a fifth-grade spiritual herb. Her family background is definitely not ordinary. What's wrong with offending Young Master Yang?”

Everyone was shocked, and they softly engaged in discussions.

Lou Qianxue magnanimously admitted to it. “Right, I indeed knew that it was the purple frost sacred bamboo from the beginning. Moreover, I had asked the medicine boy from your Alchemy Union the price of the purple frost sacred bamboo, but he said that he only had purple bamboo leaves and no purple frost sacred bamboo. Thereafter, he told me the price for purple bamboo leaves and treated them as purple bamboo leaves to sell me… Therefore, this is not my mistake.”

“This is indeed not your mistake. Moreover, you're also very impressive. Purple frost sacred bamboo and purple bamboo leaves are almost identical. The only difference is a layer of thin white film on the surface of the purple frost sacred bamboo. If a normal person sees that layer of white film, he may think that the purple bamboo leaves have been stained with something. You could actually recognize that purple frost sacred bamboo at one glance. You're indeed extraordinary.” Master Huo did not look down on Lou Qianxue. “It's just that, young lady, if we had known that the 'purple bamboo leaves' were purple frost sacred bamboo, we wouldn't have sold them. But since we already know now, we won't treat the purple frost sacred bamboo as purple bamboo leaves and sell them to you.”

Lou Qianxue nodded. “It's fine. I'll pay extra.”

However, Master Huo shook his head. “Young lady, money isn't the issue here. You may not know that fifth-grade spiritual herbs are too rare. Hence, there's an unwritten rule in the Alchemy Union: spiritual herbs that are fifth-grade and above will not be sold and will only be provided for internal use.”
