"She is affected by resentment, but why did she come to Flame City..." Ling Mo Xie put away the recorded Dan Fang and frowned as he said, "I don't know either. We can only wait until she wakes up to ask. Could something have happened in Tianfeng City?"
Xiao Chi nodded, leaning over the edge of the bed to look at Sun Xiaoxiao, then turned to Ling Mo Xie and said, "Then let's wake her up quickly!"
Ling Mo Xie rolled his eyes at Xiao Chi. "Do you think it's that easy to wake her up? The spirit medicine we need to find is specifically to save her."
"Oh! Then let's hurry and find it!" Xiao Chi, who had a good relationship with Sun Xiaoxiao, ran over and pulled Ling Mo Xie, eager to leave.
"Let's go! I heard there is a branch of the Azure Emperor's Medicine Pavilion in Flame City. Let's see if we can buy something there." Ling Mo Xie said to Xiao Chi as he opened the door and stepped outside.
Xiao Chi was no longer in the mood to eat anything. She followed Ling Mo Xie, running along with her little legs.
The Medicine Pavilion was located on the most bustling street in Flame City, and Ling Mo Xie easily found its location, leading Xiao Chi into the lavishly decorated pavilion.
However, unbeknownst to them, a few disciples of the Da Luo Sect who were idly wandering on the street had already spotted them.
"Hey! Brother Jin, look! Aren't those two with that Evil Cultivator?" one disciple said to a young man who was intently staring at a passing beauty.
"Huh? What?" The young man swallowed hard and asked the disciple as if waking from a dream.
A trace of disdain flashed in the disciple's eyes, but he repeated what he had just said.
The Da Luo Sect was not far from Flame City, and their intelligence network was strong; they already knew what several people around Luo Yan looked like.
The young man was also the captain of a team from Da Luo Sect searching for Luo Yan. Hearing his junior's report, he quickly turned his gaze toward Ling Mo Xie and Xiao Chi, who could only be seen from behind.
"If they are here, that means Luo Yan and that Evil Cultivator should be nearby too? Hurry back and report to the elders. Bring more people!" The captain of the Da Luo Sect team said excitedly to his junior.
Hehe, this time I will earn great merit; I wonder how the sect will reward me?
He began to fantasize with a lewd smile on his face.
Meanwhile, Ling Mo Xie remained completely unaware as he entered the Medicine Pavilion with Xiao Chi.
"Welcome, what do you need?"
The Spirit Medicine Pavilion is indeed on par with the Azure Emperor Pavilion, as both are branches established by the Azure Emperor. Even in a small town like Blazing Flame City, its scale is not small at all. Ling Mo Xie approached a counter, and the woman behind it, dressed in the Spirit Medicine Pavilion uniform, smiled and asked him, "How can I help you?"
Ling Mo Xie looked up and praised inwardly; it seemed that this Spirit Medicine Pavilion understood the importance of appearances!
The woman was quite attractive, with delicate features that would make her a beauty anywhere.
However, Ling Mo Xie wasn't interested in chatting with her. He simply took out the copied recipe for the Qingyuan Pill and handed it to her, saying, "Do you have these spirit medicines? If so, please bring them all to me!"
"Sure, sir. Please wait a moment!" The woman took the recipe and replied with a professional smile.
Normally, Ling Mo Xie would have enjoyed teasing this girl to see if she could do anything beyond her professional smile, but he wasn't in the mood now. He just told her, "Alright! Please hurry!"
The woman took the recipe and left the counter, presumably to find the spirit medicines for Ling Mo Xie.
After a short while, she returned, and Ling Mo Xie quickly asked, "How is it? Do you have them all?"
The woman looked somewhat troubled. Ling Mo Xie's brow furrowed as he felt a surge of irritation. "Do you have them or not? If not, I can go look elsewhere!"
His loud voice startled others in the Spirit Medicine Pavilion, and even Xiao Chi tugged at Ling Mo Xie's sleeve.
Ling Mo Xie exhaled deeply to calm himself and looked at the woman.
Startled by his outburst, she rolled her eyes and said somewhat displeased, "We basically have them all, but most of the spirit medicines on your list are level three or above. The prices..."
She glanced at Ling Mo Xie, and her meaning was clear.
Ling Mo Xie sneered inwardly; money always seemed to be an issue everywhere! Did they think he couldn't afford it?
He pulled out his storage ring and tossed it onto the counter. "There should be enough spirit stones in there. Hurry up and get me those spirit medicines."
The woman looked at him skeptically. Earlier, she had treated him warmly because he appeared well-dressed but now doubted whether he was serious about buying so many precious spirit medicines listed on his order.
Even renowned young masters from prominent families wouldn't buy such valuable items all at once! Moreover, she didn't know him; to her, he seemed like just another nouveau riche businessman.
Thinking this way, she picked up the storage ring to take a look. A hint of surprise flashed across her face as her professional smile faltered. Then her eyes lit up with excitement as she put on a charming smile again.
He said to Ling Mo Xie, "Sir, I will get you the Spiritual Medicine you requested right away. However, the Nebula Grass is highly seasonal, and we currently have no stock of it here."
"Mm?" Ling Mo Xie frowned slightly and then nodded, saying, "Understood. Please bring me the others first!"
The woman seemed to run off, and this time her departure took much less time than her previous trip to check for the Spiritual Medicine that Ling Mo Xie wanted.
"Sir, here is the Spiritual Medicine you asked for!" The woman said in a charming voice, even winking at Ling Mo Xie. She held a Storage Ring containing the Spiritual Medicine and even brushed her hand against Ling Mo Xie's chest.
Leaning closer to Ling Mo Xie, she wore an even sweeter smile than her previous professional demeanor and said, "Sir, could you treat me to a meal? It's already past noon, and I haven't eaten yet!"
As she spoke, she playfully twisted her body, causing her ample bosom to rub against Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie wore a wicked smile on his face as he thought to himself: Hmph! Which man could refuse my invitation?
He looked down at the woman with a troubled expression similar to hers earlier and said, "Of course I would love to treat a beautiful lady to a meal! But... are you really a beauty?"
After saying that, Ling Mo Xie stepped back, snatched the Storage Ring containing the Spiritual Medicine, and laughed heartily with Hong Chi as they walked out the door.
However, he shook his head inwardly, thinking that this Spirit Herb Pavilion certainly understood the importance of appearances. But these women, due to their frequent interactions with "wealthy men," had developed more vanity and greed than ordinary women.
