125: One hundred servings of each medicinal ingredient!

A qualified Alchemist must be able to fully understand and master various medicinal herbs!

Only in this way can he fully bring out the medicinal properties of the herbs themselves during the process of Alchemy.

Therefore, identifying and understanding various herbal medicines is the first step to becoming an Alchemist.

However, this first step is often the most difficult one.

Apart from those Cultivators who are born with a perception of plants and herbs that exceeds that of ordinary people.

For ordinary people who want to possess sufficient herbal knowledge, they can only rely on books to memorize it.

However, books cannot actually reflect the characteristics of plants and herbs.

They often only record the appearance of the plants, along with a few sparse sentences explaining their medicinal properties and applicable situations.

Things like scent or luster cannot be conveyed.

There are even some plants that grow extremely similarly to each other, making them impossible to distinguish with the naked eye.

Some can only be distinguished by using Divine Sense to probe the meridian branches of their stems!

Some can only be distinguished by their scent.

Some can only be identified after they have been refined.

Therefore, relying solely on books, the herbal knowledge of most Alchemists grows very slowly.

They can only continuously accumulate experience over time to allow their herbal knowledge to grow.

If one wants to quickly improve an Alchemist's herbal knowledge, the fastest way is to observe the actual objects!

Lu Hao thought exactly this; the faster the disciple progressed, the faster he would progress!

Lu Hao looked at the medicinal herbs nearby and made a rough estimate; it seemed there were indeed quite a lot.

So he spoke to Yu Han Hui:

"Hello, how many types of medicinal herbs do you have in your pavilion?"

Upon hearing Lu Hao's words, Yu Han Hui was obviously stunned for a moment.

How many types of herbs? How would she, a staff member, know that?

The Tianbao Medicine Pavilion has nine floors, and the medicinal herbs stored on each floor are massive in quantity!

Moreover, countless medicinal herbs are sold every day, while countless others are bought in.

The quantity changes constantly every day, so even calculating an approximate number is not an easy task.

"Customer, what do you want to do by asking this? The number of medicinal herbs recorded in the Tianbao Medicine Pavilion is countless; I really don't know the total amount."

"If we were to count them now, it would take quite a bit of time."

Lu Hao said calmly:

"It doesn't matter. Please help me count them. I am not in a rush and can wait here. If possible, I intend to have one portion of each type."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Yu Han Hui, but even the people around who were selecting medicinal herbs all looked over in unison.

They looked as if they were staring at an idiot.

What kind of cultivation strength do you have to dare to say such arrogant words?

Does this kid know how expensive the herbs in the Tianbao Medicine Pavilion are? He wants one of each; he probably can't even afford a single precious herb!

I've seen people who like to brag, but I've never seen anyone brag like this. Who does he think he is, the City Lord?

Even the City Lord wouldn't dare to be as ostentatious as him, right?

Looking at him, he is young and doesn't look like a rich person at all.

Yu Han Hui was also stunned; her mind was currently filled with the same thoughts as those people.

This young man looks refined and has some demeanor, but I didn't expect him to talk so absurdly.

However, due to the shop's requirements, she couldn't say anything sarcastic to Lu Hao.

She shook her head, turned around, and left, then called over a newcomer who had just joined not long ago to entertain Lu Hao.

Clearly, she felt that Lu Hao was just a person who bragged to the heavens. Such people are often dirt poor, and probably stingy even when buying a single herb, so she couldn't be bothered to serve him!

It's not like there aren't other customers coming in to buy medicinal herbs.

The new staff member heard Yu Han Hui call her, and not daring to say much, she ran directly to Lu Hao and said:

"Fellow Daoist, my name is Shi Yi. How may I serve you?"

Lu Hao did not mind the previous staff member's attitude and repeated his question:

"Hello, I would like to know how many types of medicinal herbs you have here."

Upon hearing Lu Hao's words, Shi Yi quickly responded:

"Oh, okay, Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. I will go and check our shop's records for you."

There was no expression of contempt or surprise on her face.

She then hurriedly ran up to the ninth floor.

Watching Shi Yi's disappearing back, Lu Hao also turned his head to look at other things.

While Shi Yi went upstairs to check the records, Lu Hao also observed the place.

The space on the first floor was very spacious, covering several thousand square meters, with a dazzling array of medicinal herbs.

Lu Hao walked around with great interest, looking at the medicinal herbs.

He hadn't even heard of the names of most of the herbs, and now, looking at their names and effects, he still found it somewhat interesting.

Yu Han Hui, who had initially attended to Lu Hao, was now serving other customers.

During this time, she had sold a few more orders.

In the Tianbao Medicine Pavilion, every staff member receives a one-thousandth commission after selling medicinal herbs.

In this period alone, she had sold a total of 230,000 Spirit Stones worth of medicinal herbs.

In other words, she would receive a reward of 230 Spirit Stones!

Yu Han Hui was very happy in her heart; she was somewhat glad that she hadn't served Lu Hao and counted the number of medicinal herbs according to his request.

Look at that Lu Hao, wandering around inside, and up to now, he hasn't shown the slightest intention of buying anything.

Talking nonsense with him? It's purely a waste of time!

It's still better to bully the newcomer; she does whatever she's told, silly, not as shrewd as herself.

She had already earned 230 Spirit Stones, while that girl was still busy upstairs.

Yu Han Hui thought to herself, and seeing another customer walk in, she quickly went forward and asked with a smile:

"Hello customer, I am Yu Han Hui, very happy to serve you. What would you like to buy?"

...

Another hour passed, and Shi Yi finally ran down from upstairs in a hurry.

Running all the way to Lu Hao, her forehead and neck were beaded with fine sweat, and some strands of hair were stuck to them.

"Customer, I have roughly counted for you. We have about 560,000 types of medicinal herbs here, all of which are in stock."

"If you can wait, within one month, our Tianbao Medicine Pavilion should be able to gather 670,000 types of medicinal herbs."

Lu Hao was slightly surprised; did this Tianbao Medicine Pavilion actually store so many medicinal herbs?

One must know that having 10,000 points of herbal knowledge is enough to enter as a First-Rank Alchemist.

If one could possess 560,000 points of herbal knowledge, surely that would be enough to reach a Sixth-Rank Alchemist, right?

Lu Hao thought to himself, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

He smiled at Shi Yi and said:

"Then please trouble yourself to get me one hundred portions of each type of herb. Could you help me calculate roughly how much it will cost?"
