Before entering the palace, Qian Renxue gave Meng Chen a Golden Soul Card and softly instructed him:
“Xiao Chen, there are 10,000 gold soul coins in this card.
When you go out shopping later, buy whatever you want.
Don’t worry about not having enough money.”
In Qian Renxue’s opinion, young boys need to be raised in a wealthy environment.
If Meng Chen were to be tricked away with a lollipop by a strange aunt while out and about, she would have no one to turn to for help.
“Yes, thank you, Brother Xue!”
Meng Chen looked at the Golden Soul Card and beamed with joy.
When he received the Golden Soul Card, he didn’t forget to hug Qian Renxue, rubbing his fair face against hers affectionately.
Qian Renxue felt Meng Chen’s intimacy towards her, raised her hand to touch Meng Chen’s little head, and her eyes showed a hint of doting.
“This child is so well-behaved!”
Qian Renxue sighed inwardly, then gently pinched Meng Chen’s cheek before reluctantly leaving.
“Sister Qingdai, do you know where the best pharmacy in Tiandou City is?” Meng Chen asked Qingdai.
Qingdai recalled for a moment and said gently, “Young Master, the best medicine in Tiandou City is Cixin Pharmacy, but it is located in the south of the city, which is some distance from our Crown Prince’s residence.”
“Cixin Pharmacy…”
Meng Chen muttered the name of the pharmacy.
The reason for going to the pharmacy was because of the first of the eighteen seals of the Golden Dragon King.
To break the curse, you need a hundred-year-old Ice Crystal Fruit, a hundred-year-old Crimson Flame Fruit, and ten drops of blood from a hundred-year-old soul beast with dragon blood.
“Okay, Sister Qingdai, go and tell Uncle Butler to take me to Cixin Pharmacy.
I need to buy some things.”
“Yes, young master.” Qingdai nodded, without asking what he wanted to buy.
Before long, the steward had arranged a carriage, and Qingdai and Hongyu got in with Meng Chen.
About half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of Cixin Pharmacy.
The carriage door opened, and Meng Chen jumped off.
Qingdai and the others wanted to follow, but Meng Chen refused.
“Sister Qingdai, you and Sister Hongyu can wait for me outside, you don’t need to come with us.”
Qingdai and Hongyu exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.
“Young Master, please be careful.” Hongyu was still a little worried.
“Yes, it’s just buying some medicine, nothing will happen.”
Meng Chen told Hong Yu not to worry and jogged towards Cixin Pharmacy.
Cixin Pharmacy occupies a spacious area, with a simple and elegant style.
Many flowering branches spread across the walls, and the crabapple blossoms are in full bloom, filling the air with a rich and fragrant aroma.
Meng Chen pushed open the door, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out.
There were only a few people buying medicine in the pharmacy, and only two female clerks at the counter.
“Little friend, what kind of medicine do you want to buy?”
A more experienced waiter saw Meng Chen and was immediately attracted to him, waving to him hurriedly, as if afraid that another waiter would snatch him away.
Meng Chen jogged to the counter.
Fortunately, the counter wasn’t very high, so only half of his head was visible.
Looking at the numerous medicine cabinets behind the waitress, Meng Chen thought for a moment and then said, “Big sister, I want a hundred-year-old Ice Crystal Fruit and a hundred-year-old Crimson Flame Fruit.
Do you have them here?”
“A century-old Ice Crystal Fruit, a century-old Crimson Flame Fruit…”
Upon hearing this, the waiter nodded: “Yes, we do, but what do you need them for, little one?”
“To treat an illness,” Meng Chen casually made up an excuse.
Upon hearing this, the waiter looked at Meng Chen with a hint of pity.
“Treat the illness?
Child, are you sure?”
Suddenly, a gentle female voice rang out.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a beautiful woman in white walking gracefully from a corner of the pharmacy.
The woman was stunningly beautiful, with long, flowing black hair that cascaded down to her waist.
She had a delicate oval face, beautiful features, and a compassionate look in her eyes.
A lifelike begonia flower was painted between her eyebrows, adding a touch of sanctity to her.
A white dress outlined her mature and proud voluptuous figure, her breasts full and voluptuous, her toes barely visible beneath her head, like a ripe peach, as if a gentle pinch would release sweet juice.
It looks incredibly cloying!
“Madam.” ×2
Two waiters greeted the beautiful woman in unison.
Ye Cixin nodded slightly, then slowly walked up to Meng Chen, looked down at him, and a strange light flashed in her beautiful eyes.
What an adorable child!
Meng Chen also raised his head, but his view was blocked by the towering peaks.
Even though he was taller than his peers, he could only reach the woman’s crotch.
“Child, the medicinal power contained in just one of the Hundred-Year Ice Crystal Fruit and the Hundred-Year Crimson Flame Fruit is beyond the tolerance of an ordinary Soul Master, not to mention that their attributes are mutually exclusive.
How can they be used to cure illness?
Who gave you this prescription?”
Ye Cixin frowned slightly, squatted down, pressed her round, plump buttocks lightly against her calves, and asked Meng Chen in a soft voice.
She knew that some prescriptions contained herbs with conflicting properties, but there were also herbs that could harmonize them.
But Meng Chen only needed two herbs that clashed with each other.
Wasn’t that harmful?
As the beautiful woman approached, a delicate fragrance of crabapple blossoms emanated from her, lingering around Meng Chen’s nose.
It was light and pleasant.
He shook his head and explained:
“There are more than just these two kinds of spiritual fruits.”
“What else?” Ye Cixin pressed.
“Um…
I can’t say.” Meng Chen shook his head again.
Upon hearing this, Ye Cixin knew that some pharmacists liked to buy medicine in batches, worried that others would decipher their secret formulas.
Since that was the case, Ye Cixin did not ask any further questions, and instead brought up the prices of the two spiritual fruits.
“Neither the Hundred-Year Ice Crystal Fruit nor the Hundred-Year Crimson Flame Fruit are ordinary medicinal herbs; they are quite valuable, each costing three thousand gold soul coins.
Do you have enough gold soul coins?”
Meng Chen nodded and handed the Golden Soul Card that Qian Renxue had given him to Ye Cixin.
Ye Cixin noticed the royal crest on the card, and her expression changed slightly.
Is this child a member of the royal family?
After receiving the Golden Soul Card, Ye Cixin asked the waiter to fetch the medicine.
Compared to the Douluo Continent 20,000 years later, the environment of the Douluo Continent today has not been damaged, and resources are extremely abundant.
Natural treasures like the Hundred-Year Ice Crystal Fruit are not considered rare.
The waiter returned with two medicine boxes, which Ye Cixin took and opened to check.
“These two spiritual fruits were picked recently and sealed using our pharmacy’s special method.
Their medicinal effects can last for up to a month, and the effects will weaken over time.
If you want to use them in medicine, it’s best to keep them within three days.”
Ye Cixin gave Meng Chen instructions, and Meng Chen nodded earnestly, his clear voice revealing a hint of immaturity.
“Okay, Auntie.”
Seeing how well-behaved and sensible Meng Chen was, Ye Cixin felt a surge of affection and couldn’t help but reach out and pat his head.
Soon, the waiter packed up the two medicine boxes, and Ye Cixin handed them to Meng Chen along with the Golden Soul Card.
After thanking him, Meng Chen picked up the medicine box and turned to leave.
Outside the pharmacy, Qingdai and the others had been waiting for a long time.
When they saw Meng Chen come out safely, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Young Master, shall we go back?”
Qingdai took the medicine box from Meng Chen and asked.
Meng Chen shook his head: “There’s one more thing I need to buy.
Sister Qingdai, do you know where I can buy soul beast blood?”
“Soul beast blood…
I don’t think I can find anything like that anywhere.
What do you need it for, young master?”
Qingdai thought for a while, but she didn’t expect that there was still a place in Tiandou City that sold soul beast blood.
The main thing is that nobody uses that stuff anyway.
Twenty thousand years later, on the Douluo Continent, soul beasts were on the verge of extinction, so their blood became a so-called rare and precious treasure.
But now, with abundant soul beast resources, nobody cares about blood.
Meng Chen: “I want to use it for body tempering.”
“Young Master, if you want soul beast blood, you can hire a soul master to hunt soul beasts and get the blood.
There’s no need to buy it specifically,” Hongyu interjected from the side.
Meng Chen suddenly realized what was going on and immediately instructed Hong Yu, “Sister Hong Yu, I’ll leave this to you.
I need ten drops of blood from a soul beast with dragon bloodline, no more and no less, and the sooner the better, to keep the dragon blood active.”
“Oh, right, Sister Qingdai, could you also prepare a metal container for me?
It needs to be quite sturdy.”
“Yes, young master.”
“Yes, young master.”
Hongyu and Qingdai agreed at the same time.
They asked the coachman to take Meng Chen back to the Crown Prince’s residence first, while they went to buy soul beast blood and metal containers…
