Chapter 58: Shudu Medicinal King Valley
“An auction?”
Bai Chen was a bit surprised to hear Zhao Ruilong’s words.
Zhao Ruilong nodded, a hint of nostalgia appearing on his face.
“That’s right!”
“Since my Zhao family is involved in herbal medicine, we have some knowledge in this area.”
“Shudu Medicinal King Valley is one of the most renowned sacred places for herbs in all of the Nine Provinces.”
“They cultivate countless top-grade herbs, and it is said that there is a legendary divine medicine deep within the Medicinal King Valley!”
Bai Chen was astonished to hear Zhao Ruilong’s words.
He had heard of divine medicines before and even seen them.
But that was a very long time ago.
In this current age of dwindling spiritual energy, how could such a thing as a divine medicine still exist?
These divine medicines might not be what Bai Chen imagined.
Seeing Bai Chen’s surprised expression, Zhao Ruilong thought he didn’t believe him, so he added:
“Doctor Bai, you shouldn’t doubt this divine medicine! Fifteen years ago, it appeared once, creating a sensation throughout the Nine Provinces!”
“It is said that this divine medicine not only has the power to bring the dead back to life but also allows martial artists to reach the legendary Grandmaster realm!”
Bai Chen scoffed at Zhao Ruilong’s serious tone.
This so-called Grandmaster realm was still just ordinary people.
It seemed that this was not the divine medicine he imagined.
The divine medicines from ten thousand years ago were powerful enough to grant even cultivators the ability to control life and death!
How could it merely allow ordinary martial artists to level up?
But the past was the past, and the present was the present.
Today, the lack of spiritual energy meant that these herbs were indeed the best choice for treating Nian Nian and Nan Yue Ran.
Zhao Ruilong continued,
“This time, Medicinal King Valley is coming to Lintai and will hold an auction that will definitely attract people from all over Jiangnan!”
“If Doctor Bai wants to bid, you need to be prepared!”
Bai Chen pondered for a moment before asking,
“What will be available at the auction?”
Zhao Ruilong smiled slightly.
"I can only say that the hundred-year-old herbs I found for you, Doctor Bai, are nothing compared to what’s there! They wouldn’t even make it to the stage!”
“Everything there starts at a minimum of three hundred-year-old herbs!”
“There was even once a ginseng that was eight hundred years old!”
“That auction battle brought great fame to the Medicinal King Valley auction, stirring excitement among countless people.”
“An eight-hundred-year-old ginseng?” Bai Chen slightly raised an eyebrow.
If he could obtain this herb, it would be very beneficial for Bai Nian Nian and Nan Yue Ran’s health.
Zhao Ruilong noticed Bai Chen’s interest and reminded him,
“However, if Doctor Bai wants to bid, you must be careful of the martial arts world!”
“Oh?” Bai Chen looked at Zhao Ruilong.
Zhao Ya quickly explained,
“The Medicinal King Valley auction two years ago attracted many martial arts masters, and those people were all very stubborn and arrogant. The aftermath was easy to imagine.”
“Many people spent a lot and even snatched herbs from ordinary people.”
“Although the Nine Provinces’ authorities reprimanded the martial arts world after that, we must still be cautious.”
Bai Chen smiled lightly at Zhao Ya’s words.
If any martial arts master dared to provoke him, that would be amusing.
These worldly martial arts masters were like ants to him, while he was a god!
Once Zhao Ruilong finished discussing the Medicinal King Valley auction, he took out two invitation letters.
“Doctor Bai, here are the invitations to the Medicinal King Valley auction.”
“My Zhao family received a few for free due to some business dealings with the Medicinal King Valley.”
“Other families have to pay a considerable amount just to enter!”
“I specially came to give these to you, Doctor Bai, in case you want to go and take a look.”
Bai Chen accepted the two invitations and nodded at Zhao Ruilong.
“Old Master Zhao, you are very considerate.”
“Not at all! Doctor Bai, you have helped me greatly; this is nothing!”
“Additionally, the Su family head’s birthday is coming up soon, and as Doctor Bai, you will definitely receive an invitation. You will meet people from the Medicinal King Valley there!”
After saying that, Zhao Ruilong stood up with Zhao Ya, ready to leave.
Once the two departed, Bai Chen sat in his place and began to ponder.
“Medicinal King Valley, why don’t I remember this force ever existing in Shudu?”
“What has happened in this world?”
As the sky darkened, Bai Chen decided not to linger. He packed up some herbal soup and hurried home with Bai Nian Nian.
Just as Bai Chen and Bai Nian Nian returned home, Nan Yue Ran came back as well.
“Phew! Today has really exhausted me!”
Nan Yue Ran collapsed on the sofa, rubbing her arms and frowning.
Seeing this, Bai Chen placed the packed herbal soup in front of Nan Yue Ran.
“I knew you were busy all day and probably haven’t eaten. Give it a try; it’s still warm.”
As Bai Chen spoke, a timely rumble came from Nan Yue Ran’s stomach.
She quickly opened the herbal soup, and a fragrant aroma mixed with the smell of meat wafted into the air.
While Nan Yue Ran ate, Bai Chen gently massaged her shoulders.
Feeling something unusual on her shoulders, Nan Yue Ran initially stiffened.
After all these years, it was the first time an opposite sex had touched her while she was fully aware.
However, as the soreness in her shoulders gradually faded and a large bowl of delicious food lay before her,
Nan Yue Ran quickly immersed herself in her meal, forgetting everything else.
“Last time your body wasn’t suitable for the herbal soup because of your condition, so I didn’t let you eat it.”
“How do you feel now?”
Nan Yue Ran paused at Bai Chen’s words.
She remembered how she had wanted to eat the herbal soup but was stopped by Bai Chen.
Now, feeling a warm sensation in her lower abdomen, Nan Yue Ran was momentarily stunned.
“I feel warm in my stomach now, my shoulders don’t hurt, and… I don’t feel tired at all!”
Bai Chen smiled slightly.
“Your health issue is even more serious than Nian Nian’s. Nian Nian’s health is gradually improving, but you still need specific treatment.”
“The Medicinal King Valley is about to hold an auction in Lintai. I plan to see if there are any usable herbs.”
Nan Yue Ran was taken aback.
“Medicinal King Valley?”
When Bai Chen explained the Medicinal King Valley in detail, Nan Yue Ran suddenly understood.
“Won’t that be too expensive? I don’t have much money right now.”
Bai Chen laughed heartily, then took out two invitation letters.
“Look what this is!”
“An invitation to the Medicinal King Valley auction? How do you have this? And it’s black!”
“I helped Zhao Ruilong, the Family Head of the Zhao family, with his illness! He gave them to me.”
“Then I can relax. Let’s go together and check it out!”
“Okay!”
As Nan Yue Ran looked at Bai Chen’s handsome face, her heart suddenly raced.
Peck!
Nan Yue Ran gently stood on her tiptoes and pecked Bai Chen on the cheek.
Then, her face flushed, she quickly slipped into the house.
Bai Chen was skilled in medicine, could cook, and took care of himself; only she knew how wonderful Bai Chen was.
He was definitely not the country bumpkin that Nan Xuan Fei described.
Perhaps Bai Chen really was someone worth entrusting her life to.
However,
As Nan Yue Ran glanced at Bai Nian Nian, a flicker of doubt crossed her eyes.
Would Bai Chen really accept her, with her troubled past?
Thinking of this made Nan Yue Ran’s heart feel heavy.
The next morning,
Nan Zhan Fei and Xu Qing suddenly called for Nan Yue Ran.
With a sense of urgency, Nan Yue Ran had no choice but to hurry over.
Seeing Nan Yue Ran rush out in a flurry, Bai Chen furrowed his brow.
“Is the Nan family still not giving up?”
Remembering what had happened yesterday, a cold glint flashed in Bai Chen’s eyes as he stood up and followed.
