Chapter 711: Chapter 711 The Black Market Vendor
“The strong scent of inhibitory dicinal soups wafting from the back yard indicates that the Vermilion Pill hasn’t been brewed yet, for the patient needs to take inhibitory dicinal soups,”
The concentration of the dicinal soup suggests that the patient doesn’t have much ti left, and since the Vermilion Pill has yet to be produced, it is certainly needed.
Tang Yichen silently gave Gu Zhiqi a thumbs-up.
After signaling his approval, Tang Yichen blinked lightly and asked, “Did you sniff out all those dicines by yourself?”
“No, it’s only necessary to identify a few of the main herbs by sll.”
She also had the pill prescription for the Vermilion Pill, and having detected the scent of several main herbs, it wasn’t difficult for her to complete the pill prescription.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yichen couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.
The three of them continued walking; the street beca more crowded, and there were more stalls by the roadside.
Gu Zhiqi looked around from ti to ti.
When they reached a stall, Gu Zhiqi stopped in her tracks and then proceeded straight toward it.
The stall owner lay on a reclining chair, leisurely swinging his legs, dressed in a black robe with a veiled hat, his face obscured.
Seeing the three people stop in front of his stand, the man showed no intention of getting up and continued to swing his legs leisurely, remarking offhandedly, “Feel free to look around.”
Hearing this sowhat familiar voice, Tang Yichen and Su Yunling exchanged glances, then tacitly kept silent.
Gu Zhiqi also found the voice sowhat familiar, but couldn’t recall where she had heard it. She simply squatted down and pointed at a brush asking, “How much for this brush?”
After asking, Gu Zhiqi reached out, picked up the brush, and examined it intently.
Why does the brush seem familiar?
When Gu Zhiqi ntioned buying the brush, the stall owner suddenly sprang to his feet and looked at Gu Zhiqi, “Buying a brush? Is it for painting traditional Chinese paintings or calligraphy?”
Gu Zhiqi: ?
Why does this question sound so familiar?
Gu Zhiqi: “Drawing Talismans.”
Stall owner: ???
“Drawing Talismans?!” The stall owner leaned forward abruptly, and if it weren’t for the veil hat, Gu Zhiqi would certainly have seen his eyes bulging.
Stall owner burst out again, “The kind of talismans drawn by fortunetellers?!”
Gu Zhiqi: “…”
Such a familiar scene.
She nodded at the stall owner.
“Off you go!” The stall owner gestured with his hand towards the direction of the black market entrance.
Gu Zhiqi: “…”
This man… seems like that stall owner she t in the black market.
In the end, Gu Zhiqi didn’t buy the brush.
After walking away so distance, Su Yunling approached Gu Zhiqi and asked softly, “Did you like that brush?”
Gu Zhiqi shook her head, “Not that I liked it, it just seed like it would be very handy for Drawing Talismans.”
Su Yunling nodded lightly, then, while Gu Zhiqi wasn’t paying attention, he swiftly scooped her into his embrace.
Gu Zhiqi: ?
“It’s crowded here,” Su Yunling said in a low voice, then half-shielded her in his arms as they headed toward the entrance of the black market.
Tang Yichen watched the two of them and felt a wave of envy.
So envy-inducing that he let out a soft hiss of breath and then quietly followed behind them.

Yue Family’s back yard.
The master and apprentice worked in the Yue Family’s backyard until midnight, finally producing a batch of Fragrance. When Yue Lan inspected the Fragrance Furnace and saw the twenty-one perfectly round Fragrant Pills, she fell silent for a long ti.
A seventy percent success rate for Fragrance Refining?!
Although Gu Zhiqi had personally taught her, her own success rate was only sixty percent, and when she refined alone, it was just fifty percent. Even with constant practice these days, she had only managed to increase it to around fifty-five percent.
But now…
Gu Xiyue’s success rate had actually reached seventy percent!
