Great Immortal Doctor

"How could that be?" Only then did Young Master Jia notice Xiao Yi beside Shu Wan. To his great surprise, Shu Wan was actually arm - in - arm with Xiao Yi. He was so shocked that he couldn't even speak. His peach - blossom eyes were filled with astonishment, which was gradually replaced by a wave of intense jealousy. Who was Shu Wan? She was a well - known cold - faced beauty in the upper - class circle of Haicheng, never giving anyone face. But now, she was acting like a docile bird, snuggling up to a seemingly ordinary man. How could Young Master Jia not be surprised and jealous?

"Shu Wan, who is this? Aren't you going to introduce him?" Jia Rulong sized up Xiao Yi from head to toe with his peach - blossom eyes and asked disdainfully.

"My friend, Xiao Yi," Shu Wan tilted her head slightly towards Xiao Yi unconsciously, then pointed at Jia Rulong and said casually, "Jia Rulong."

"Nice to meet you, Young Master Xiao!" Hearing Shu Wan's introduction that clearly showed the difference in their closeness, and looking at Xiao Yi's cheap outfit that probably cost less than two hundred yuan in total, Jia Rulong was furious. He deliberately emphasized the words "Young Master Xiao" in a strange tone to humiliate Xiao Yi.

"No problem," Xiao Yi waved his hand nonchalantly and accepted Jia Rulong's address with ease, without showing any sign of embarrassment. The aura he exuded unconsciously was even more composed and imposing than that of all the playboys.

Jia Rulong almost stumbled and fell. In Haicheng for so many years, no one had ever dared to casually say "no problem" to him like this.

Shu Wan couldn't help but laugh. She tilted her head and glanced at Xiao Yi, her eyes full of smiles. This young man was always like this. He could, without warning, say something that would make people half - dead with anger. He was the same with that narcissistic Liu Baihui last time, and now with Jia Rulong. It seemed that no one could catch his serious attention. This powerful and unique aura both puzzled and fascinated Shu Wan.

She tightened her grip on Xiao Yi's arm and said with a charming smile, "Let's go, let's go in."

"Sure," Xiao Yi smiled faintly and followed Shu Wan into the exhibition hall.

Jia Rulong was so angry that he could almost explode. Like many young masters in Haicheng, he had been admiring Shu Wan for so many years. But he never expected that Shu Wan would be with such a shabbily - dressed man. How could he not be angry?

However, he was absolutely reluctant to give up his feelings for Shu Wan. He stamped his foot hard, quickened his pace, and followed behind Shu Wan, forcing a smile and saying, "Shu Wan, it's better to meet by chance than to invite. Since we've met, it's fate. Why don't we wander around together?"

"As you like," Shu Wan said without looking back. Just using these two words that Xiao Yi had said the other day, Shu Wan's face turned a little red, and she secretly glanced at Xiao Yi.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Yi entered, he was completely absorbed in looking at the flowers and plants on the stalls. It seemed that they were the things that interested him the most. This made Shu Wan feel a sudden sense of loss.

After looking for a long time, Xiao Yi found that most of the things here were rare flowers and trees. High - quality orchids, precious green roses, etc. were quite common. In addition, there were some top - grade potted plants, such as Chinese fringe flower, osmanthus trees, boxwoods, yews...

However, they were of no use to Xiao Yi's pill - refining. Occasionally, there were a few herbs, but they were all only twenty or thirty years old, obviously not old enough.

Xiao Yi frowned slightly, walked from one side to the other, and gradually showed a disappointed look on his face.

"What? Didn't you find it?" Shu Wan asked with some concern.

Xiao Yi shook his head helplessly.

But this head - shaking movement, in Jia Rulong's eyes, was thought to be because Xiao Yi was short of money. Otherwise, why would he just look without buying?

Jia Rulong became energetic at this moment. He pushed forward and looked at Xiao Yi with a sidelong glance, saying disdainfully, "What's the matter, Young Master Xiao? You've been wandering around for most of the night, but I haven't seen you make a move. If you're short on money, you can just tell me. After all, we're considered acquaintances."

"Oh, then thank you, Young Master Jia," Xiao Yi said indifferently.

"You're welcome. I can still afford this little money. But Young Master Xiao, you should remember that not all occasions are suitable for people like you," Jia Rulong sneered, curling his lips.

"You're right. There are nothing but mediocre things here," Xiao Yi deliberately shook his head and said. It was unclear whether he was referring to the flowers and plants, Jia Rulong, or both.

Jia Rulong could clearly tell that Xiao Yi was speaking indirectly to scold him. His fair face turned red and then white with anger.

Just then, Xiao Yi's heart skipped a beat. His extended spiritual consciousness seemed to sense a strong fluctuation of spiritual power coming from the direction of the door.

Xiao Yi couldn't help but look towards the door immediately. He saw a sixteen - or seventeen - year - old girl walking into the exhibition hall with a backpack. Her eyes were looking around, full of vitality.

The girl came to an empty booth, took off the backpack behind her, and carefully took out a wooden box from it.

As soon as the box was taken out, Xiao Yi's heart tightened.

Spiritual power, a very strong spiritual power, leaked out from the box.

Xiao Yi released his spiritual consciousness and could clearly see that it was a ginseng of a certain age. It had taken on a human - like shape, with a nose, eyes, and all four limbs, vividly lifelike. Based on Xiao Yi's rough observation, this ginseng was at least a hundred years old.

A hundred - year - old ginseng was truly a precious treasure, something that was hard to come by.

Xiao Yi quietly suppressed his excitement and walked slowly towards the girl.

"Sir, take a look. This is a genuine hundred - year - old wild ginseng," the girl introduced to Xiao Yi with a smile.

Xiao Yi seemed to approach the ginseng casually and focused to feel it. Yes, it was at least a hundred years old, no less.

"How much?" Xiao Yi asked in a low voice.

"One million. It's a bargain," the girl said crisply.

Xiao Yi nodded. For such a wild ginseng, the price of one million was indeed a good deal.

But Shu Wan on the side had already looked coldly at Jia Rulong and said, "Young Master Jia, if I remember correctly, didn't you say just now that you would pay the bill for Young Master Xiao?"

"I, when did I say I would pay the bill for him? I just said that if he was short on money, he could borrow from me," Jia Rulong hurriedly explained.

"Humph," Shu Wan snorted coldly and said indifferently, "So, Young Master Jia is not as wealthy as he claims. Since that's the case, don't brag in front of me in the future. Who do you think I am? Do you think I would let you make fun of my friend?"

Shu Wan's face turned cold, and she exuded a breathtaking aura that made people not dare to act rashly.

Jia Rulong's face changed when he saw Shu Wan getting angry. The power behind Shu Wan was not something that an ordinary Jia Rulong could afford to offend. If he really angered Shu Wan today, the entire Jia family might be implicated.

Thinking of this, Jia Rulong broke out in a cold sweat. He only blamed himself for talking too much in order to exclude and belittle Xiao Yi. After weighing the pros and cons, Jia Rulong, who had grown up in the upper - class society filled with money and interests, immediately knew what he should do.

Reluctantly, Jia Rulong took out a gold card from his pocket and handed it to Shu Wan with a forced smile, saying, "Don't be like this, Shu Wan. It was just a joke. Here, one million is nothing to me, Jia Rulong. As long as you, Shu Wan, are happy, anything is fine."

"Humph. If I decline again, it would seem that I'm looking down on Young Master Jia," Shu Wan snorted. She stretched out her slender fingers, picked up the gold card, and directly handed it to the little girl vendor, smiling and saying, "It's rare that someone is kind enough to pay the bill. Just use this card."

Jia Rulong's mouth twitched, but he had no choice. He just stared at Xiao Yi hatefully, his heart filled with jealousy to the point of going crazy.

The little girl vendor took the gold card from Jia Rulong with a smile. Just as she was about to swipe it, Xiao Yi stopped her.

"Excuse me, do you have any other herbs of this age?" Xiao Yi stared at the girl's backpack with burning eyes. Others might not be able to tell, but Xiao Yi's spiritual consciousness could clearly sense that there was still a strong spiritual power fluctuation in the girl's backpack. It seemed that she hadn't taken out all the herbs at once.

These words almost made Jia Rulong vomit blood. One million wasn't enough? He still wanted to buy more? Jia Rulong opened his hand, eager to take back the gold card. But under Shu Wan's cold gaze, he really didn't dare to reach out. His face was immediately covered in sweat.

Upon hearing this, the little girl was first startled, then delighted. She immediately nodded playfully and said, "Yes, do you have the money to buy them?"

As she spoke, the little girl bent down and took out another box from her backpack. As soon as she opened it, a strong fragrance wafted out. Looking inside, there were two twin - born polygonum multiflorum. They were in the shape of a man and a woman, with ears, noses, and all four limbs, each part of their bodies vividly resembling two little people lying in the box with their eyes closed.

"Wow," Shu Wan couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice. This was the first time she had seen such vivid herbs.

"This, this might be fake. Nowadays, there are so many human - shaped polygonum multiflorum everywhere. They are all made artificially with molds. It's just a fraud," Jia Rulong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly stepped forward to say. He was so eager just to save the money in his gold card.

Hearing Jia Rulong's words, the little girl sneered. She looked at Jia Rulong with a sidelong glance and said, "You really are fearless in your ignorance. You dare to say anything. You can't even tell the real from the fake, yet you dare to show off here. You look decent on the outside, but you're actually a good - for - nothing. Sigh, what a pity, what a pity."

The little girl shook her head and sighed, which made Jia Rulong so angry that he was almost bursting with rage. He pointed at the little girl and stammered, "You, you..." but couldn't say a complete sentence.

"A hundred - year - old wild polygonum multiflorum, two million. No bargaining," the little girl snorted coldly and said crisply.

Jia Rulong felt as if the sky was spinning. His heart ached as if it was bleeding. There were only three million in that gold card, and just because of his momentary slip of the tongue, it was all going to be gone.
