Chapter 215: Alchemy Furnace_1

Ghost Street, that was the street where Yin Tian had searched for the Wanyan Flower for Xia Nianbing.

And the Wanyan Flower, was indeed obtained by Yin Tian at the Wanyao Hall.

Returning to the Wanyao Hall, the person sitting behind the counter was still that same old man.

Upon hearing footsteps, the half-asleep old man lifted his head, "It’s too late, whatever it is can wait until tomorrow..."

While he was speaking, upon seeing Yin Tian’s smiling face clearly, the rest of his words choked back down.

Immediately, the old man stood up, looking at Yin Tian with tremendous surprise, "Why have you come?"

"There’s a bit of business."

Yin Tian walked forward as if he owned the place, taking a seat on a chair, "I have some herbs that probably only your place would have."

The old man came out from behind the counter, sitting beside Yin Tian, "What herbs?"

"Peaceful Spirit Herb, Soul Settling Fragrance..."

Yin Tian listed over a dozen names of medicinal ingredients in one breath.

After listening to Yin Tian, the old man’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Someone around you has contracted soul loss disease?"

Soul loss disease, a very rare illness.

Although Ye Qinghuang did not have soul loss disease, her condition was almost similar.

"You could say that."

Yin Tian nodded without elaborating too much.

"You know, these herbs are very rare."

The old man squinted at Yin Tian, smiling, "In the entire provincial city, probably only my place has them."

"Yes, which is why I came here."

Yin Tian nodded again, looking at the old man, "Name your price, though I probably already have a good idea."

Surprised, the old man glanced at Yin Tian and instead asked, "Then you tell me, what is my condition?"

"Your body hasn’t recovered. It must be because the medicine preparation failed."

Yin Tian spoke leisurely.

The old man’s ailment was something Yin Tian had discovered during his last visit.

It was precisely for this reason that Yin Tian had figured out what the old man needed, dug up the Medicine Insect from the soil, and thus exchanged for the Wanyan Flower from the old man’s hands.

Seeing the old man again today, Yin Tian still noticed that the man’s illness had not improved, leading him to deduce that the old man had not managed to prepare medicine that could cure the ailment.

At this moment, the old man was shockingly impressed by Yin Tian’s perceptiveness.

He had not expected Yin Tian to see through the truth at a glance.

"So you..."

Before the old man could finish speaking, Yin Tian had cut in without hesitation, "I can help you."

"Really?"

The old man looked at Yin Tian in astonishment.

He knew very well what it was he truly needed.

"If I say it out loud, then I can certainly do it."

Yin Tian watched the old man with a smile, "But you should know better than I do what that prescription is worth. Just to exchange it for a dozen or so herbs seems like I’m at a loss."

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately glared at Yin Tian with dissatisfaction, "You young man, really know how to avoid a loss."

Yin Tian kept a smiling face and looked at the old man without saying a word.

After pondering for a moment, the old man finally spoke slowly, "Alright, you give me the prescription, and from my shop here, take whatever you need without hesitation."

"I don’t need that much."

Yin Tian waved his hand, "If I need something in the future, I’ll just send someone to collect it."

The old man glanced at Yin Tian, "You treat my shop like a general store."

"You know, the prescription isn’t something just anyone can have."

Yin Tian said with a smile.

The old man nodded, "Deal."

Seeing the old man agree, Yin Tian immediately started reciting, "One gram of Medicine Insect, two inches of Thousand Stars Vine, five grams of Polygonum multiflorum..."

The old man quickly jotted down the prescription that Yin Tian recited, his eyes alight with eagerness.

As Yin Tian had said, the prescription was extremely rare; if Yin Tian’s prescription was genuine, then the old man had gotten a great bargain!

Yin Tian recounted the complete prescription from memory.

The old man sat on the chair, eyes vacant, muttering to himself, "So that’s how it is, it turns out to be this way..."

"Now you should give me what I need, right?"

Yin Tian spread his hands towards the old man.

The old man nodded, got up, went behind the counter, and took out everything Yin Tian needed.

"To treat soul loss disease, the herbs alone won’t be enough."

The old man placed the herbs on the table, "This kind of medicine, doesn’t it require ancient methods to be processed?"

Yin Tian slowly nodded.

Ancient methods of processing would necessitate the use of an Alchemy Furnace.

But...

Where should he acquire this Alchemy Furnace from?

"In the Provincial Medical Association, there seems to be an Alchemy Furnace, an antique from ancient times; I just don’t know if they’d let you use it."

The old man spoke slowly and leisurely.

A light flashed in Yin Tian’s eyes, as he hadn’t expected the old man to point him in a clear direction, "Good, I’ll go there tomorrow."

"Alright, you got what you wanted, so off you go. This old man needs to close up and rest."

The old man issued an order to see off the guest.

Yin Tian also knew what the old man was really thinking, merely smiling lightly and then standing up to head towards the exit.

The old man escorted Yin Tian to the door, glanced at Yin Tian’s departing back, and then pulled down the rolling gate.
