[ Requesting for a bottle of rank four Primordial Spirit Strengthening Pill of at least four rings of purity! Price: 250,000 mid grade spirits stones!]
Long Ming and others looked at the mission board as they were surprised.
The mission board was divided into three parts. The lower part was the one with easy and cheap requests. The middle part was one with costly requests.
Meanwhile, the top part of the quest hall had very few requests. Those are the requests which have been remained unfulfilled for centuries or very hard to complete.
Most people only looked at the lower part while those with some ability looked at the middle part.
" Huh? Look at that." Long Ming looked at the top of the request and saw a floating violet parchment.
[ Need of a Hundred Thousand Year old Purple Blood Ginseng! Reward: Granting the request of a Rank Five Pill of four rings of purity at minimum. 10,000 High grade spirit stones]
" What a coincidence. I do have a piece of that herb." Long Ming clicked his tongue. " Huh? Now you said that We did harvest that herb from Herbal Sanctuary." Mu Qinglian rubbed her chin as she nodded.
" Are you planning to sell it to that person?" Ming Yuexin looked at Long Ming with curiosity.
" Why so hasty?" Long Ming fanned himself with his Plum Blossom Fan as he walked away from the Mission Board. " Let's walk around a bit and enjoy this place. We can always go there to finish that mission."
" You…Why are you so fickle minded?" Mu Qinglian couldn't help but shake her head. Ming Yuexin only giggled and followed Long Ming.
It was more like an open market inside, with people buying and selling herbs. Here, Alchemists are also like doctors. Therefore, many people also look after the alchemists after some illness or injuries. Long Ming was amused to see many alchemists sitting at their stalls, calling out people like hawkers. ' Doctors? They are more like peddlers.' Long Ming chuckled. However, their attention was attracted by a commotion.
" Bastards! You said my sister will get cursed by your medicine! But it only made the situation worse!"
" Hmph! How dare you to cause trouble here!"
*BOOOM*
A young man landed on the ground as he coughed out a mouthful of blood. However, gritting his teeth he got up and glared at the people who wore a shiny uniform.
" Brother…Brother, just stop." A small girl hurried and held the young man as she cried.
" Hmph! These bastards are scammers!" The young man stood up and yelled out aloud. " You guys took 500,000 mid grade spirit stones from us! Yet you didn't cure my sister at all!"
" Hmph, Young man, You are too bold." A skinny looking old man walked out. " I already gave the medicine according to your sister's disease. However, it looks like it wasn't a normal disease."
" I already did my best and alleviated her condition. Yet, you want me to refund the money?"
" Alleviated? Hmph! Instead, My sister is suffering more each night!" The young man clenched his fist. " Either return our money or cure my sister."
" It looks like this boy doesn't know the business works, huh?"
" Someone call the guards! This bastard is disrupting the business here."
Well, Alchemists are just like that. There is always a chance the medicine might fail. But, even if it fails, you can't just ask for a refund, right?
" You know what? Let me tell you something." The skinny alchemist shouted. " I am already a Master rank Alchemist, yet I have never seen such a strange disease."
" Boy, You better purchase more medicine and increase her lifespan. Since I couldn't cure it, I don't think there would be anyone who can cure her."
" Shut up! Shut up you mongrel!"
" This rascal!"
Everyone looked at the scene with amusement and contempt. The pair of siblings didn't look much wealthy. Not to mention, the guards of the Royal Alchemy Garden already appeared.
[Ding! Random Quest generated! Help the young man to cure his sister! Reward: A Random Treasure Box!]
[ Failure: Losing the proficiency in appraisal of medicinal herbs]
Long Ming raised his eyebrows when the sudden quest popped out. ' It looks like this System can't just stay silent and meddles in people's situation]
His Heavenly Revelation Eyes opened as he looked at the girl who looked only fourteen years old.
" Hmm? That's…" Long Ming's expression turned strange as he looked at the girl with shock. He could see a terrible poison miasma corroding the meridians of the girl.
However, what made him more amazed was the strange aura surrounding the young man's body.
It was simply invisible for others. But for Long Ming who had the power of Heavenly Revelation Eyes and Temporal Fate Simulation Technique, looking at someone's aura and fate is possible.
The aura around the young man was fierce like a demon, giving off rich dark energy. The young man's luck was pretty good. However, for others around him, he was like an star of misfortune.
' Hmm, If done nothing, That girl would definitely die.' Long Ming thought inwardly. ' And if she dies, this young man…He will probably go berserk.'
Long Ming remembered that he still had the poison stone of a Harmonization Realm venomous demon serpent which he had killed in Azure Sun Secret Realm.
' Hmm, Do you wish to save you sister?'
The young man who was yelling suddenly paused as a voice spoke in his mind. ' Don't react much. Just take your sister and follow me. Maybe, I have a way out..'
The young man turned around saw a handsome young man stood with a beautiful paper fan. " Young Noble…"
Without any hesitation, that young man followed Long Ming.

" Hmm, As I thought, This is not a disease. This is a powerful poison." Long Ming held the wrist of the girl as he spoke in a light voice.
" Poison? How it could be poison?" The young man was shocked.
" Well, Believe me or not, It's poison." Long Ming shrugged. " But the thing is, This is not a poison from a beast or flower. But rather than that, it's a poison from an item…Think like a treasure that emits poison."
When the young man heard that, his expression changed.
" Could it be… Damn it! Was it my fault all along?" The young man clutched his hair as he fell on his knees.
