662. Looking for Star Herbs (2)

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Xu Chengfei looked at Mo Fei, and said after thinking a while, “Sometimes, the Wu Family will organize people to come in to collect star herbs, a lot of people think that kind of star herbs is the raw material of the potions.”

Mo Fei’s eyes lit up and he couldn’t wait to ask, “What are those star herbs?”

Xu Chengfei shook his head, “When they come in, the whereabouts are very secret, I don’t know much. There is a person in the valley, nicknamed Flying Pigeon, specialized in collecting and selling all kinds of information. He may know.”

Mo Fei knitted his eyebrow, “Flying Pigeon? Would you please introduce us?”

Xu Chengfei nodded and said, “Of course, but the price that guy charges is pretty high!”

Mo Fei nodded. “You don’t have to worry about that.” They could still afford that.

Xu Chengfei looked at Mo Fei, “Since you insist, then I take you to see him.”

“Thank you,” Mo Fei said gratefully.

Xu Chengfei waved his hand and said, “It’s nothing.”

...

“Looking for the star herbs Wu Family’s people came in to collect?” A thin man, whose pair of eyes were particularly bright, asked as he swept around at Mo Fei and others.

Mo Fei nodded, “Yes!”

“Three medium star crystals.” Flying Pigeon said coldly.

Mo Fei picked his eyebrow and said, “Deal.” Only three? Much cheaper than he expected.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xu Chengfei glanced at Mo Fei, trying to say something, but did not. Star crystals were pretty rare in the valley, so its value was much higher than the outside, actually that price was kind of too high already.

Seeing they agreed so neatly, Flying Pigeon secretly thought: I should have named a higher price!

Although feeing regretted in the heart, he still said with a smile, “Come with me.”

Mo Fei and others quickly followed behind.

Flying Pigeon’s eyes lightly swept across the few of them and he said, “Among you, someone is a pharmacist?”

Mo Fei frowned and did not speak.

Flying Pigeon smiled and said, “Even if there is one, you don’t have to hide. Wu Family would send thousands of cultivators in every year, and dozens of or nearly over a hundred pharmacists would die in this hell-like place every year. And a lot of them thought they were capable enough to develop the poison-removing potion, but basically all died at last.”

Mo Fei, “...”

“Were there a lot of pharmacists why tried to develop the potion?” Asked Mo Fei with some curiosity.

Flying Pigeon nodded and said, “Of course, it’s just that no one has ever successfully developed it yet. Have you heard about Pharmacist Xiao Lie?”

Mo Fei shook his head and said, “No.”

Flying Pigeon disdainfully looked at Mo Fei, “You are really ignorant, Pharmacist Xiao Lie, at the age of twenty, improved Tianhe potion and its formula, so that the cost has reduced by 90%, and the effect is the same as the original.”

Mo Fei smiled and said, “He’s really something!”

Flying Pigeon straightened up his head, “Of course! Pity such a powerful figure got trapped in years. Having spent three years and he still went nowhere, and finally got depressed and died. Before he died, he said the poison-removing potion should be xuan class, hard to refine.”

Mo Fei looked a little touched, saying while nodding, “Oh.”

Flying Pigeon looked at Mo Fei and others, “But even if you give up looking for star herbs now, I will not return the star crystals to you.”

Mo Fei smiled awkwardly and said, “I still want to have a try.”

Flying Pigeon gave Mo Fei a complicated look, making a false smile, “You really have the ambition.”

Then he took them to six different places and picked some different star herbs.

“When the Wu family came in, they’d mostly go to these places to pick the star herbs.” Flying Pigeon lightly said.

Mo Fei nodded and said, “Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it. If you really develop the potion, don’t forget about me!” Flying Pigeon smiled dryly.

Mo Fei chuckled and said, “If that day comes, I won’t forget you.”

Flying Pigeon cast a glance at him, smiled, then left. Judging from his attitude, Mo Fei knew, apparently he didn’t think they’d succeed.

After saying goodbye to Mo Fei and others, Flying Pigeon went to a cave.

“Flying Pigeon, I heard that someone is looking for you today. Who are those people?” Asked a rough-looking man with a wide grin.

“Boss, it is a pharmacist. He asked me to take them to look for star herbs. Another pharmacist who wants to develop the poison-removing potion.” Flying Pigeon looked very respectful.

Ye Feng coldly smiled, rolled his eyes while saying. “Another pharmacist again!”

Flying Pigeon looked at him and asked, “Boss, do you want to rope him in?”

Ye Feng said with an impatient tone, “What for? Now I understand. Those pharmacists are only freeloaders. They couldn’t only but have a long list of requirements, they want star crystals, they want this and that. I won’t be fooled again!”

“Boss Ye Feng, what makes you so angry?” A young man with a handsome face but a head of white hair came in.

Ye Feng scratched his head, and laughed awkwardly, “I am just saying it. I’m kidding. It’d never be you. Sir, why do you come out?”

That white-haired man lightly said, “nothing, just need some fresh air.”

Ye Feng said primly, “Oh!”

“I heard you were talking about a pharmacist?” The white-haired man asked faintly.

Ye Feng nodded and said, “Yes! I’m going to send someone to observe him first, if the other side has the ability, then we can try to rope him in, but if the other side is not good enough, then we wouldn’t lose something or what.”

The white-haired man nodded and said, “You take care of it. If he is really something, I happen to be in short of an assistant.”

Ye Feng nodded and said, “Got it.”
