Chapter 727 Buy The Medicinal Herbs (Part One)


    Although the Birch Pass was the natural border between the Bright Dynasty and the South Kingdom, it


    was quite noisy and bustling. And in spite of the rtionship between the Bright Dynasty and the South


    Kingdom being tense at the moment, there were still many merchants going back and forth to the


    border of the two countries. They brought over the herbs from the South Kingdom to the Birch Pass for


    trading.

    "It seems that we came out at the right time, just in time for the morning market." In the morning market


    of the Birch Pass, lots of items were being sold—medicinal materials, ores, some unique jade which


    could only be found in the South Kingdom, as well as some rare small articles. All kinds of people were


    busy looking around to find what they needed.


    "Sir, would you be interested in purchasing a precious jade pendant? It''s the pink warm jade only


    avable in the South Kingdom and can''t be found anywhere else. This jade pendant should be perfect


    for your wife. As you can see, the pink color looks very clear. And it will also be very useful to help her


    get back to health. Sir, I highly rmend that you purchase a jade pendant for your wife." The


    vendor stopped Matthew in his tracks and tried his best to convince him into buying the jade he had in


    his stall.


    Taking a closer look at the jade in the hands of the vendor, Matthew was actually about to take it.


    However, Harper suddenly grabbed the jade and remarked, "This is not a warm jade, otherwise, I


    would''ve felt warm when I touched it. Apart from that, its pink color is not quite right. The warm jade of


    the South Kingdom looks pink because the geology of the ce where they are produced is red. That''s


    what gives the jade that slight tint of red, thus giving it the name pink warm jade. The jade you are


    selling is a fake one."


    Hearing this, the vendor almost lost hisposure. Yet, he quickly snatched the fake jade pendant


    from Harper''s hand and took out another jade pendant. "Madam, you must be a well-educated person


    who knows a lot about jade. I''m actually talking about this piece of jade. It is a real piece of pink warm


    jade, and is priceless. Have a look at it. It is wless; wouldn''t you say so? Touch it, and you will feel


    warm. It is the best jade to help you keep healthy. The jade should be a perfect match for you, madam,


    as you are beautiful, noble and kindhearted."


    Seeing this man''s reaction, Harper was a bit surprised. As soon as the fake jade was recognized, this


    man immediately took out a genuine jade and tried to sell it instead. Because of that, Harper became


    curious and wanted to see how much this man could do. So, she took out a piece of warm jade which


    she always carried around and said, "I don''t need a warm jade. I already have a piece of superior suet


    white warm jade, which is even better than your pink warm jade."


    Blinking his eyes, the vendor instantly put his jade away. "Well, madam, would you like to sell your


    jade? If you think that you''ve been wearing this jade pendant for too long and don''t like this style. If you


    want a different style, I have a wide variety of styles avable. You can also customize the style to your


    liking. Of course, I can also buy the jade you have. What do you think?"


    "No, I don''t need money," Harper nonchntly said.


    "Madam, do you like collecting treasures? The treasures in my shop are all rare treasures. I''m sure


    you''re going to like them." Then, the vendor turned to Matthew and added, "Sir, your wife is so


    beautiful. Why don''t you pick a good treasure and give it to her as a gift? It will definitely make her


    happy." It seemed that he still hadn''t given up on persuading Matthew into buying his goods.


    "Did you just say you have all kinds of treasures in your shop?" Matthew asked, looking very interested.


    "Yes, we have everything you may need. Just name it, and we''ll give you whatever you want!" the


    vendor proudly said as he patted himself on the chest, seemingly very confident.


    Harper helplessly shook her head. This vendor was quite the smooth-talker and spoke differently


    depending on who he was talking to. Given that, she did not believe his words. So, she simply grabbed


    hold of Matthew''s hand and was about to leave the stall with him. However, Matthew stopped her in her


    tracks and said, "It wouldn''t really hurt to go inside and have a look. Who knows? Maybe a pleasant


    surprise is waiting for us."


    Harper honestly appreciated the vendor''s quick wit, but she just wasn''t fond of his way of doing things.


    Despite that, she didn''t object to Matthew''s suggestion and followed him into the vendor''s shop.


    It was a rather small and messy shop. The shopkeeper was inside leaning against the counter, nodding


    off. Hearing a couple of footsteps approaching, he immediately ran out from behind the counter and


    greeted, "Distinguished guests are walking inside my shop. Come in, please. Is there anything in


    particr you would like to see?"


    "Boss, they are our distinguished guests. They''re not interested inmon goods," the vendor said.


    Hearing that, the shopkeeper immediately ordered his assistant to get the most precious treasure they


    had in the shop. Then, he personally poured a bowl of tea for them and said, "The miasma here in the


    South Kingdom is very thick. This tea, although not very good, can help get rid of the miasma. I hope


    you do not dislike it."


    After taking a sip, Harpermented, "This is the medicinal tea made from the herbs like rhizoma


    atractylodis and tuckahoe. But, it seems that someone has added another herb inside..."


    "Madam, you eve know about medicine?" the shopkeeper asked in surprise. "A special herb exclusive


    in the South Kingdom has been added, which is called snakeroot. It is used to get rid of the poison in


    the miasma. I can tell at a nce that you two just arrived at the Birch Pass. If you don''t drink this


    specially made tea, you probably won''t be able to resist the poison of the miasma."


    "That''s so thoughtful of you! Thank you," Harper said as she put down her tea bowl. "I wonder how


    many special medicinal materials from the South Kingdom you have in store here."


    "Madam, are you looking for medicinal herbs?"


    "Yes, I am. But I wonder if the medicinal herbs you have could get my attention," Harper slowly said,


    looking the shopkeeper straight in the eye. "I am looking for medicinal herbs from the South Kingdom


    with unique efficacy, ones that people cannot simply buy from the outside."


    Pausing for a while, the shopkeeper asked, "What are you going to need them for, madam?"


    "I''m a physician," Harper tly replied. "Of course I buy medicinal herbs for the purpose of treating


    patients and saving people''s lives. A great number of rare medicines from the South Kingdom have


    extraordinary effects, but it is very difficult to acquire them from the market. You just told me that you


    will give me whatever I want as long as I name it, right? If you can show them to me right now, I''ll buy


    all of them."
