Physician Baili
"Very strong!"
The unanimous response of Little Black and Little White further strengthened Baili Hongzhuang's conjecture. Dibei Chen might be only three years older than her, but his strength was so formidable, indicating his exceptional talent in cultivation.
Even the renowned geniuses from Fengbo couldn't compare to him. This could only prove that Dibei Chen was extraordinary!
"Well, how does that guy have anything to do with me?" Baili Hongzhuang shrugged and entered the herbal shop.
Wanfangfang, the largest herbal shop in the Imperial City, had a complete range of medicinal herbs. Almost all the herbs needed could be found there.
As soon as she entered, Baili Hongzhuang caught the fragrance of the herbs and immediately identified which ones they were.
"Gathering Grass, Vitality Fruit, Coagulation Grass..."
A faint smile appeared on Baili Hongzhuang's lips as a sense of familiarity surrounded her. In the past, her favorite subject of study was medicine, and she immersed herself in it year-round, so she was very familiar with it at this moment.
Ji Wenbin, the shopkeeper of Wanfangfang, was organizing the medicinal herbs. After seeing Baili Hongzhuang identify the herbs by their scent with closed eyes, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
"You're truly amazing, accurately identifying the medicinal herbs!" Ji Wenbin praised.
Having managed the herbal shop for a long time, Ji Wenbin had developed the ability to identify herbs by their scent. Seeing this young girl, who seemed to be around fifteen, demonstrate the same skill surprised him.
Baili Hongzhuang smiled lightly, "You're too kind, shopkeeper."
"I'm curious, how does a young girl like you have such knowledge of medicinal herbs?"
Ji Wenbin curiously looked at Baili Hongzhuang. He had always been fond of herbs, and now seeing Baili Hongzhuang's deep understanding of pharmacology, he felt a sense of connection.
Observing Ji Wenbin's excitement, Baili Hongzhuang knew that the shopkeeper was passionate about pharmacology. His questions were merely driven by curiosity.
"I have been studying pharmacology since I was young, so I have a good understanding of it." Baili Hongzhuang smiled.
"So, you're a physician then?"
Baili Hongzhuang nodded, affirming Ji Wenbin's speculation.
In her previous life, some of her elders had a keen interest in pharmacology, so she spent a lot of time among medicinal herbs. Eventually, she received their true teachings and gained the title of a physician at a young age.
She had always been confident in her medical skills.
Ji Wenbin's astonishment grew even stronger. This young girl was already a physician at such a young age, which meant her future achievements would be even more extraordinary.
"What would you like to buy, miss?" Ji Wenbin asked politely, looking at Baili Hongzhuang and the herbs on the counter. "The herbal materials in my shop are always well-stocked, and I have most of what you might need."
Baili Hongzhuang smiled lightly, examining the herbs and their price tags, but a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.
"Why are the prices so unreasonable?"
Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, but Baili Hongzhuang didn't voice her thoughts. Since Wanfangfang had clear price tags, they couldn't be wrong. Was there such a stark difference in the market prices of herbs between the present and a thousand years ago?
White Dew Grass and Celestial Herb used to be the cheapest herbs, but here, their prices had increased tenfold. On the other hand, other herbs were surprisingly more affordable than they should have been, which added to the strangeness of the situation.
In an instant, Baili Hongzhuang's gaze fixated on a specific herb. Its vibrant green color shimmered with star-like white lights, resembling celestial bodies in the night sky. It was none other than the Star Spirit Grass!
