132: Chapter 132 Buying Healing Pills
Hearing Steward Li's reply, Ling Shu couldn't help but be astonished; she had originally thought that being able to purchase Heaven-Grade Medicinal Pills here was already quite good, but she hadn't expected that not only were there Heaven-Grade healing Medicinal Pills, but there was more than one type, and even King-Grade healing Medicinal Pills were available.
Immediately, she happily responded to Steward Li.
"Steward Li, I'll have to trouble you again; please purchase five of each of the three types of healing Medicinal Pills."
"These are Spirit..."
Ling Shu was speaking to Steward Li while attempting to retrieve the corresponding Spirit Stones from her Storage Pouch.
Suddenly, Ling Shu froze in place, her words unfinished.
"Not enough Spirit Stones..."
Throughout her escape from the pursuit, Ling Shu had only focused on how to avoid her pursuers and effectively conceal her tracks, never paying attention to the usage of Spirit Stones and various resources in her Storage Pouch.
Now, when it came time to pay for the healing Medicinal Pills, she discovered that the tens of millions of Spirit Stones originally in her Storage Pouch had dwindled to only a few million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
"I apologize, Steward Li, I left in a bit of a hurry.
Could you please temporarily get two of each of these three Medicinal Pills for me?"
"Here are the Spirit Stones."
Ling Shu, having regained her senses, felt utterly embarrassed, and immediately spoke to Steward Li with a hint of apology.
After speaking, she raised her right hand, and a Storage Pouch appeared directly in her palm, which she then handed to Steward Li.
Seeing this, Steward Li nodded, then smiled, expressing understanding with great casualness.
"No problem."
He then took the Storage Pouch from Ling Shu's hand, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and verified the number of Spirit Stones inside.
Looking at Ling Shu with a smile, he said in a fawning manner.
"The Spirit Stones are fine, esteemed guest, please wait a moment, I will go and retrieve the Medicinal Pills for you now."
"Steward Li, please proceed!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Shu responded indifferently.
Ling Shu didn't pay much attention to Steward Li's fawning; she could well understand that in a place like Lingyun City, although she didn't know why such a significant change had occurred here, its geographical location was simply too remote.
Several million Low-Grade Spirit Stones are definitely not something an ordinary person can produce... "Thump, thump... thump, thump..."
A moment later, a series of hurried footsteps directly entered Ling Shu's ears as she stood observing in the main hall.
Seeing this, Ling Shu looked directly in the direction of the hurried footsteps, only to see Steward Li walking quickly towards Ling Shu, followed closely by a middle-aged man dressed as a pharmacy subordinate.
The middle-aged man held a tray, on which sat three small white porcelain bottles.
Soon, Steward Li arrived in front of Ling Shu again, saying with a smile.
"Young Miss, you've waited a long time; I apologize for the poor hospitality, please forgive me."
"Steward Li, what are you saying? When one is out and about, there aren't so many rules."
"Hahaha, Young Miss is straightforward."
"The three types of healing Medicinal Pills you purchased are all here; Young Miss can inspect them herself."
Steward Li first praised Ling Shu, then pointed to the tray in the hand of the pharmacy subordinate beside him, and slowly said.
Upon hearing this, Ling Shu immediately took a few steps forward, went directly to the tray, and then picked up each of the small white porcelain bottles in turn, opened them, sniffed them lightly before her nose, and then put them all into her personal Storage Pouch.
"The Medicinal Pills are of good quality, thank you, Steward Li."
"Hahaha, Young Miss, there's no need to be polite.
Our pharmacy operates with integrity, so naturally, we must guarantee the quality of our Medicinal Pills; otherwise, wouldn't we be ruining our own reputation?"
Upon hearing this, Steward Li couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"Thank you, if I have any needs again in the future, I will certainly come back, and I hope Steward Li won't find me troublesome then."
"Not at all, not at all, Young Miss, if you grace us with your presence again, we'd be delighted, how could we find it troublesome?"
"Steward Li, let's end our conversation here for today, I'll take my leave!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Shu also nodded.
Knowing that she had already delayed for a long time, Ling Shu immediately bid farewell to Steward Li.
"Young Miss, please!"
Upon hearing this, Steward Li politely said.
Seeing this, Ling Shu said no more, immediately turned around, and walked quickly out of the pharmacy.
"Steward Li, please stay."
Arriving at the entrance of the pharmacy, seeing Steward Li and others also following to see her off, Ling Shu turned around directly, cupped her fists, and spoke again.
"Young Miss, take care."
Ling Shu nodded, then after discerning the direction, she walked directly towards the previous Ling Family Residence... A moment later.
At the inner city entrance of the Ling Family.
Several Ling Family Disciples stood guard here, protecting the safety of the Ling Family inner city entrance.
At the same time, on a street not far away, Ling Shu looked at the greatly changed Ling Family Residence with a face full of doubt, completely stunned in place.
After a long while, Ling Shu gradually regained her senses, but she still couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.
"How could this be?"
"What exactly happened in Qingyun Town during these few years since I joined the Sect?"
...Subsequently, Ling Shu immediately stepped forward and stopped an old man, politely asking.
"Excuse me, old sir, I have something I'd like to ask you about."
"Young Miss, just ask whatever you want; this old man will certainly tell you everything he knows."
Hearing Ling Shu's question, the old man who was stopped promised with a smile.
"Old sir, I'd like to ask, wasn't this place previously the Ling Family Residence of Qingyun Town?"
"Young Miss, you must not have returned for a long time.
This place of ours was indeed called Qingyun Town before, but ever since the Ling Family grew powerful, it continuously expanded the former Qingyun Town into the current Lingyun City, and even expanded the former Ling Family Residence by several times over."
"Now, the place we are in can only be considered the outer city of Lingyun City; the Ling Family members reside in the inner city."
"Look, that's the entrance to the Ling Family inner city."
Hearing Ling Shu's question, the old man gave a concise and clear introduction.
"Old sir, is this Ling Family you're talking about the same Ling Family that was in Qingyun Town before?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Shu couldn't help but quickly ask.
"Of course, what other Ling Family would there be?"
"Thank you, old sir."
After hearing the old man's explanation, Ling Shu immediately thanked him.
After getting some information, Ling Shu bid farewell to the old man and then walked quickly towards the Ling Family inner city entrance.
But just as Ling Shu approached the Ling Family inner city entrance, a guarding Disciple immediately stepped forward and loudly reprimanded.
"Who goes there? This is the Ling Family Residence; all unauthorized personnel are strictly forbidden from approaching!"
