The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 125: Pharmacist Association

While Bai Xifeng and Liu Longwei looked around the shop, another customer came in. Seeing the customer wanting to talk with the shopkeeper, Bai Xifeng pushed Liu Longwei giving space to another customer.

However, the customer saw this action and thought that Bai Xifeng was acting alluring with Liu Longwei in front of him. He put a disgusted expression on her face.

"How indecent." The customer said in a slow tone.

Bai Xifeng heard that and frowned. She did not know what she did to make him think that way.

"What is indecent mean?" Liu Longwei suddenly asked.

The question from Liu Longwei caught Bai Xifeng off guard. She did not know what Liu Longwei also heard that statement from the customer. Bai Xifeng suddenly grinned.

"Indecent means we are doing something like this." Bai Xifeng suddenly approached Liu Longwei and put her hand on his waist.

Her mouth also approached Liu Longwei’s mouth.

The customer who watched them had a red face. He was embarrassed seeing the couple’s action.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" The customer shouted.

Bai Xifeng turned to look at the customer. She still did not let Liu Longwei’s waist.

"What?" Bai Xifeng put on an innocent face.

"You can not act like this outside." The customer said with a red face.

"Act like what?" Bai Xifeng was acting innocent.

"Act like that!" The customer pointed at Bai Xifeng’s hand on Liu Longwei’s waist.

"You must be single." Bai Xifeng chuckled.

"You!" The customer was speechless. He never met a shameless woman like Bai Xifeng before.

The shopkeeper came out bringing Bai Xifeng’s order.

"I want to buy Scutellaria, Angelica sinensis and Panax ginseng plant." The customer said to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper showed an apologetic expression to the customer. "Sir Tian, we are sorry. The herbs that you request, we have run out of stock. You need to wait for a few days before we restock them."

"What? You don’t have them?" The customer asked

His name was Tian Zixin

"We do but..." The shopkeeper did not finish his word, the customer already cut him off.

"Then, you can sell them to me." Tian Zixin said.

"I am sorry, Sir but this miss already purchase all of the herbs." The shopkeeper apologized again.

"What? She is buying the herbs?" Tian Zixin turned to Bai Xifeng.

"What? What do you think I am here?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"What are you doing to do with the herbs?" Tian Zixin asked back.

"None of your business." Bai Xifeng smiled.

" You! I am Tian Zixin, the pharmacist in the Pharmacist Association in this country." Tian Zixin introduced himself arrogantly.

"Oh, so what?" Bai Xifeng tilted her head.

Tian Zixin coughed when he saw Bai Xifeng’s action. He thought that it was adorable. Then, he was surprised when his mind thought like that.

"You should not disrespect me like this." Tian Zixin said.

"I don’t think that I am disrespecting you. You just buy what I want and I come first before you. I don’t think it is something wrong." Bai Xifeng stated.

"Humph!" Tian Zixin did not want to be here again. He left.

The shopkeeper showed a worried expression on his face. "Miss, he is someone with authority in the Pharmacist Association. He might cause trouble for you when you want to join the Pharmacist Association."

"Huh? Why do you think I am going to join them?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Well, looking at your purchase, you think you are going to practise to do the medicine." The shopkeeper looked at the purchased herbs.

"Oh... Don’t worry about that. I am buying the herbs for someone else." Bai Xifeng said.

"Oh, I see." The shopkeeper nodded.

"I will make the payment." Bai Xifeng said.

After settling the payment, Bai Xifeng put the herbs in her Qiankun bag. The shopkeeper looked at Bai Xifeng with wide eyes. The Qiankun bag. He thought about something.

"Miss, you are telling me that you are buying for another person. Is the person a young man?" The shopkeeper asked.

"Why do you think so?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Because I saw a young man with the same Qiankun bag before buying the herbs in the large quantity as you do today." The shopkeeper explained.

"Oh... Well, I don’t know about that." Bai Xifeng said.

"I see..." The shopkeeper did not say a thing anymore.

He thought Bai Xifeng probably did not want people to know about her connection with that young man.

Bai Xifeng actually forgot about that. She accidentally used the same Qiankun bag she used when disguised as Long Feng. She needed to be careful later.

She got another information about this world. They had a Pharmacist Association for Pharmacists. She wondered what were its uses. She would have asked Si Ji Huang about that when they met tonight.

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.
