Chapter 71: Gathering Treasure Pavilion

Qin Feng glanced at the expressions of the two people and his face twitched.

If you dare to say my handwriting is bad, be careful, I’ll lose my temper on the spot.

Wang Xu and his companion were sharp-witted individuals. Although they wanted to speak, they held back, feeling extremely uncomfortable. They turned their heads towards the young man in white robes, seemingly waiting for something.

At this moment, Ya’an frowned and approached, grabbing the tip of the brush with her left hand, abruptly stopping Qin Feng’s vigorous cursive calligraphy.

“What are you doing?” Qin Feng expressed his dissatisfaction. He thought his calligraphy had improved significantly this time and he was in the midst of inspiration, but someone interrupted him!

“To write words so unsightly, are you truly following the path of a Literature Saint?” Ya’an spoke directly, showing no intention to save face for Qin Feng.

Wang Xu and his companion exchanged glances, wearing expressions that said, ‘I knew it would be like this.’ The young master’s words were exactly what they wanted to say but couldn’t.

Qin Feng opened his mouth, greatly shocked. The tone of his speech reminded him of the grumpy old man he encountered at the entrance of the Listen To Rain Pavilion. They both disregarded others’ dignity and left no room for saving face!

While Qin Feng was still in a daze, Ya’an snatched the brush and began writing on the white paper by himself.

“Heavenly Phoenix Wood, Nine Curves Fierce Flame Flower.” The names of various medicinal herbs jumped onto the paper and the handwriting was elegant and pleasing to the eye, far superior to the messy and twisted characters written above.

Most importantly, Ya’an wrote these words with her left hand, a hand she was not proficient with. Without a comparison, there was no harm done.

Qin Feng was left speechless with astonishment. “You actually know the recipe for the meridian-restoring medicinal solution?”

Ya’an didn’t hide it. “Due to certain reasons, I have consulted relevant books. I came across similar records in the ‘Celestial Inner Canon.’ At first, I couldn’t confirm, but after you wrote down a few medicinal herbs, I realized it must be this.”

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes, his mind racing with thoughts. The books in the Listen To Rain Pavilion were rare gems not easily found in the world. Moreover, this ‘Celestial Inner Canon’ was on the fourth floor, indicating its exceptional rarity. Initially, he was surprised that she had read the “Strange Insects,’ but now she claimed to have read the ‘Celestial Inner Canon’ as well.

What was the identity of this woman? How could she have access to such precious books? Did she also know the grumpy old man from the Listen To Rain Pavilion?

Rip!

The sound of paper being torn interrupted Qin Feng’s thoughts. He widened his eyes. Why did she tear off the part I wrote?

Ya’an tore off the messy portion of the characters. Originally, she intended to shred it to pieces, but her right arm was numb, making it difficult to accomplish with just one hand.

Helpless, she crumpled the torn white paper into a ball and tossed it aside.

How much do you despise my handwriting?

Qin Feng’s lips twitched. “Ya’an, my friend, if you know the prescription, you could have written it again and given it to your subordinates. There was no need to degrade the characters I wrote like this.”

Ya’an turned her head disdainfully, her delicate eyebrows furrowing. “You call that handwriting?”

Qin Feng opened his mouth, rendered speechless. This woman was straightforward, but her emotional intelligence seemed quite low. If she were in a dorm room with four girls like in the previous life, someone like her would only be added to a four-person WeChat group.

Ignoring Qin Feng, Ya’an circled three medicinal herbs on the prescription: Heavenly Phoenix wood, Seven-Colored Grass, Thousand-Year Cold Orchid.

“What does this mean? Do you have these three herbs?” Qin Feng asked curiously.

“No, I still lack these three.” Ya’an replied calmly.

Qin Feng was astonished. The medicinal solution required a total of twenty-three different herbs, each of them invaluable. What kind of background did this person come from to have gathered twenty of them already?

Mo Lintian, who was standing nearby, sensed Qin Feng’s thoughts and said, “Doctor Qin, have you heard of the Gathering Treasure Pavilion?”

Qin Feng was taken aback. Of course, he had heard of the Gathering Treasure Pavilion. His unreliable father had fantasized multiple times about making his business as successful as the Gathering Treasure Pavilion.

The Gathering Treasure Pavilion originated in the Imperial Capital, starting as a small shop. However, within a few years, it expanded its business across all corners of The Great Qian, establishing branches in all thirty-two Heavenly Cities.

The Gathering Treasure Pavilion’s business was extensive, with trade caravans all over the The Great Qian. The establishment had a keen interest in collecting rare and exotic items from all around the world. Periodically, they held grand auctions, profiting handsomely from the events.

Rumors circulated that The Gathering Treasure Pavilion’s rapid growth was not only due to its founder’s exceptional vision but also because of its significant background in the Imperial Capital. Otherwise, how could it easily open branches in all thirty-two Heavenly cities?

You see, the Heavenly cities are not to be trifled with!

Qin Feng pondered. If there was a way to quickly obtain medicinal ingredients to restore her meridians, it would undoubtedly involve leveraging The Gathering Treasure Pavilion’s connections!

These travelers were likely part of a caravan, specifically The Gathering Treasure Pavilion’s caravan!

In that case, the Snow-Treading Dragon Steed and the two martial protectors above the sixth rank, though impressive, were not beyond reason.

However, he wondered about the young gentleman disguised as a man. What was his status within The Gathering Treasure Pavilion? Could she be in charge of one of the branches in the heavenly cities?

“I have indeed heard of it,” Qin Feng replied with a much more respectful tone.

Unfortunately, poverty sometimes led to shortsightedness.

“Our young master is the head of one of The Gathering Treasure Pavilion’s branches,” Mo Lintian said, smiling.

Qin Feng sucked in a breath. “May I ask which branch?”

“Which branch?” Mo Lintian hesitated for a moment, about to explain, but was interrupted by Ya’an. “Yulin City.”

Qin Feng’s mouth fell open. Yulin City, a Heavenly City in the central southern region of The Great Qian, near Jade Mountain, renowned for its jade and precious artifacts, was incredibly wealthy.

She really was in charge of that branch?

A wealthy woman, confirmed!

Ya’an added, “We were originally planning to trade jade and precious artifacts between Yulin City and Qiyuan City. We didn’t expect to encounter such unexpected events on our way to Qiyuan City. Once things settle in Qiyuan City, I will contact the other The Gathering Treasure Pavilion branches. I believe those three medicinal plants won’t be difficult to find.”

Finding a wealthy woman was truly fortunate!

No wonder she was so direct and confident!

However, Qin Feng expressed his concerns, “Can the turmoil in Qiyuan City be quelled? As far as I know, the attackers came well-prepared. Heart-Devouring Gu, insect plague, huge centipede, no matter which one it is, if it is placed in Jinyang City, it will be a disaster for the city. If all three appear simultaneously, even in a Heavenly city like Qiyuan, it would be challenging to handle. Moreover, I don’t believe those invaders would not have other tricks up their sleeves. After all, that terrifying giant centipede is just their initial assault!”

In response, Ya’an didn’t seem overly worried. “Qiyuan City boasts some of the strongest defense forces in The Great Qian, and there’s a reason for that. Do you know about the Thirty-Six Stars and the Twelve Divine Generals?”
