After walking for a while, Little Xin Zhuo looked up and realized that he had arrived at the Alchemy Hall.
Little Xin Zhuo felt sothing was not quite right.
When he turned to leave, several people darted out from the Alchemy Hall.
"Young lad, we’ve finally found you. Where is that little beggar?"
Pharmacist Zhang ca out with a few apprentices.
They watched Xin Zhuo like predators encircling their prey.
"What are you talking about? I don’t know any little beggar. I just ca to see a doctor."
Little Xin Zhuo stepped back, his scalp tingling.
"Doctor, tell us, what did that kid tell you?"
Pharmacist Zhang glanced sternly at the doctor beside him.
"Reporting to Pharmacist Zhang, the boy said that soone in his family took the Bone Marrow Cleansing Powder and fell into a coma."
The doctor hurriedly reported this.
Ever since the top-grade Marrow Cleansing Powder was lost, Pharmacist Zhang had been restless day and night.
He had notified the County Magistrate to lock down the city gates, just waiting to catch that little beggar.
Who would have known that the beggar seed to grow wings, evading search thoroughly.
Pharmacist Zhang, of course, did not know that Xin Lin had already used the Ghost Escape Technique and was long gone.
Pharmacist Zhang was cunning. Failing to find Xin Lin, he had people notify every doctor in the city: if anyone ca seeking treatnt after taking the Bone Marrow Cleansing Powder, they were to inform the Alchemy Hall imdiately.
The Alchemy Hall was a dominant force in the city; no doctors from other dical Halls dared to defy them, so the mont Little Xin Zhuo entered the dical Hall and described the symptoms, he was already under surveillance.
"The Bone Marrow Cleansing Powder, crafted by Grand Doctor Chu, possesses overwhelming dicinal strength. That reckless little beggar took the powder, and by now, her ridians must be entirely ruptured, leaving her close to death,"
Pharmacist Zhang sneered.
Thinking of his Bone Marrow Cleansing Powder made Pharmacist Zhang wince.
"You’re talking nonsense, Sister won’t be hard!"
Little Xin Zhuo flushed with anger upon hearing this.
"She better not be hard; I need to use her to make dicine! If we can’t catch her, you will take her place!"
Pharmacist Zhang’s eyes blazed red as he glared at Xin Zhuo.
Xin Zhuo was muttering to himself, about to attempt the Ghost Escape Technique.
He had forgotten that, with the physical constraints, he was unable to use the Ghost Escape Technique.
As the apprentices from the Alchemy Hall closed in, the color drained from Xin Zhuo’s face.
"Hold on!"
Just as Xin Zhuo was being surrounded, a voice called out lightly, and a little beggar ran over.
"Sister?"
Xin Zhuo’s eyes lit up when he saw Xin Lin.
"You! You little thief, you actually dare to show up!"
Upon seeing Xin Lin, Pharmacist Zhang seethed with anger. It was truly an instance of ’heaven has a path you did not take, yet Hell has no door and you broke in’.
But Pharmacist Zhang was also puzzled. How co this little beggar was perfectly fine, with nothing wrong? Wasn’t it said that she had stolen so Soul-washing Powder?
"Why wouldn’t I dare to co? I am here to return the Bone Marrow Cleansing Powder."
After saying this, Xin Lin tossed a porcelain bottle towards Pharmacist Zhang.
Pharmacist Zhang hurriedly caught the Bone Marrow Cleansing Powder and sniffed it.
His face changed, the Marrow Cleansing Powder inside really was the top-grade Marrow Cleansing Powder.
"How about that? I just borrowed it to have a look, not a single drop less. Now that it’s returned to its rightful owner, we’re even,"
Xin Lin winked at Little Xin Zhuo.
The siblings both exhaled a sigh of relief.
Of course, the Bone Marrow Cleansing Powder in that porcelain bottle wasn’t the original one, it was what Xin Lin had concocted.
Yet, whether it was the quality or the level of the concoction, they matched perfectly with the stolen bottle, enough to pass off as the real thing.
