Bai Xifeng pulled Liu Longwei to walk around the market. As they walked, many eyes concentrated on them. The men were jealous of Liu Longwei for getting a beauty by his side.
....
Bai Xifeng disguised herself as Long Feng. She walked to the Shanghai Pavillion. She was greeted by the helpers. They rushed to get the manager. One of the helpers remembered the man who came and begged to treat his disease. He asked someone to go and inform him of the pharmacist that he wanted to see.
Bai Xifeng, as usual, brought the pills and elixirs for Si Ji Huang. While they were setting for the payment, Bai Xifeng asked about the thing that she asked about.
"Ah, about that, there is someone who wants you to look at his disease." Si Ji Huang stated.
"Oh, what’s about that person?" Bai Xifeng asked.
"Hmm.... It was like a skin disease. Well, I don’t know much about that." Bai Xifeng said.
"I heard there is a pharmacist association around. Why can’t he go there and have a pharmacist take a look at him?" Bai Xifeng asked.
"You know about the association?" Si Ji Huang asked back.
"Well, I just found out about the association today. Just their name. Not about the detail." Bai Xifeng explained.
It was from Tian Zixin that she found out about the association. Otherwise, she never knew.
"Not many people can see the pharmacist from the association." Si Ji Huang stated.
"Why?" Bai Xifeng asked.
"Only noble and royal could see the pharmacist from the association. This person was not a noble or royal. So, he could not ask the pharmacist from the association to cure him." Si Ji Huang explained.
"That is a messed up rule." Bai Xifeng commented.
Si Ji Huang laughed. "Indeed. However, a lot of pharmacists wanted to join the association."
"People want to join the association?" Bai Xifeng was surprised.
"Yes. They have a chance to become a noble." Si Ji Huang said.
"Have they become rich as well?" Bai Xifeng asked.
"Well, it depends. Not many become rich after joining the association." Si Ji Huang shook his head.
"I thought joining the association would make them rich. Then, what is the point of joining them?" Bai Xifeng thought about going to the association but upon hearing about this, she did not think it was worth it.
"But they have a lot of rare herbs on their hands. The herbs on your list too. Not all, but some of them." Si Ji Huang remembered the list.
Now, Bai Xifeng had become interested. "Really?"
She still wanted to find the herbs to cure her poison. Otherwise, she could not advance higher in her cultivation. Ahhh... She sighed. She was aiming to live like Oreki but she could not. There was no simple way to live in this life.
"Probably. I don’t know what kind of herbs that they have." Si Ji Huang could not give a concrete answer.
Bai Xifeng smiled. She would find a way to get the list of what herbs the Pharmacist Association had in their hands.
A helper knocked on the door where they were sitting. Si Ji Huang told him to enter. The helper whispered something to Si Ji Huang. Si Ji Huang nodded several times.
"Sir Long, the patient has arrived. Do you want to see him right now?" Si Ji Huang asked.
"Sure. Why not? Oh, don’t forget about my money." Bai Xifeng reminded Si Ji Huang.
Si Ji Huang chuckled. "I don’t forget."
Si Ji Huang ordered his staff to lead Bai Xifeng to the patient.
