Martial Master

"Eh!"

Suddenly, Qin Chen seemed to have seen something, pausing in his steps before striding towards the herb field.

"What do you want to do?"

Several sharp shouts rang out as the previous martial artists surged towards Qin Chen, their eyes sharp and expressions angry, nearly moving to strike.

The young lady and Manager Hu also walked over.

Even a few pharmacists inside were startled and raised their heads.

"Miss, Manager Hu, I told you this kid has ill intentions. His words are sweet, but he just wants to pass through. Now you can all see, he clearly covets our herb garden. In my opinion, we should capture this kid and interrogate him thoroughly. I suspect there should be his accomplices nearby besides him."

The martial artist who had a terrible attitude towards Qin Chen earlier shouted angrily.

"Don't talk nonsense."

The young lady scolded, stepping forward to look at Qin Chen, saying, "Sir, what are you..."

"That's knotweed, right? I just wanted to buy a few stalks of knotweed," Qin Chen pointed at the herb field ahead.

"Are you also a pharmacist?" The young lady was taken aback.

Knotweed is a very obscure and rare medicinal material, and its rank is only the first level. It holds little value in the market; even for families that have been in the herb business for years, not everyone knows about it. Qin Chen mentioning it so directly surprised her.

"I'm not worthy of that title, just happen to know it by chance."

"By chance, then how come I don't know such a coincidental thing?" The martial artist snorted coldly, his gaze unfriendly.

"Tong San, shut up! If you say another word, don’t blame me for being rude." The young lady's expression darkened as she glared at the martial artist.

"Miss, I—"

Tong San opened his mouth to say something, but seeing the displeased expression of the young lady, he closed his mouth and glared fiercely at Qin Chen.

The young lady waved her hand, and immediately a pharmacist presented a handful of knotweed, saying, "Since the young master needs it, feel free to take it."

"Thank you. Here are one hundred silver coins, as payment for the knotweed," Qin Chen took out one hundred silver coins.

"No need! Young master is too polite; this little knotweed is not worth much," the young lady waved her hand.

Anyway, knotweed is worthless, and no one would buy it if he took it back. If he wanted it, giving him some was no big deal.

Without caring whether the other party accepted it or not, Qin Chen tossed the one hundred silver coins to her and turned to leave.

"Miss, why waste words with him? Look at his pretentious manner; he doesn't seem like a good person at all." The martial artist stepped forward and snorted.

"Tong San, it’s not that I’m saying you. If you act so reckless in the future, don’t blame me for being rude." The young lady coldly snorted.

"Miss, I also think this person is a bit strange. Although knotweed is a medicinal material, it's of no use. What does he want to buy it for?" Manager Hu frowned as well.

"Just watch."

Everyone looked from a distance and saw Qin Chen taking a few steps to the foot of the cliff, looking up at something.

"This kid can’t be really looking for the Iron Feather Eagle, right?" Several people were stunned.

They found it somewhat unbelievable; how terrifying was the Iron Feather Eagle? With one claw, this kid would probably be torn to shreds.

"Don't mind him. Let’s continue gathering herbs. Instruct the people below to speed up the collection and leave as soon as we are done."

The young lady frowned. Although she didn’t understand what Qin Chen was up to, leaving quickly was certainly not a bad thing.

"Yes."

Very quickly, the pharmacists below sped up their gathering.

"Miss, look at that kid; what is he doing now?" Suddenly, the guard martial artist whispered.

Everyone looked up and saw Qin Chen tossing something around. It was too far to see clearly.

"It looks like real stones!"

Only Manager Hu, having the highest cultivation level, seemed to realize something and frowned as he spoke.
