After saying that, the red-robed Apothecary looked down again and did some calculations on the paper once more, racking her brains with a gloomy countenance.
Su Luo furrowed her eyebrows slightly.
Luckily, Su Luo had been in this other world for a few years, so her temper had already subsided. If it were back in her previous life’s world, that sentence alone would have already caused her to send a palm flying at the other party.
From the corner of her eye, Su Luo glanced at what was on the red-robed Apothecary's paper.
After a simple glance, Su Luo's gaze grew complicated.
She hadn’t misread it, right? She had thought that the apothecaries of Upstream Mountain were all incredibly skilled, but seeing the problems that this red-robed Apothecary was calculating, Su Luo was dumbstruck.
These problems were just. Way. Too. Simple!
Compared to Su Luo's previous life’s mathematical algorithms, she would be considered to be at the university level, while this red-robed Apothecary was doing elementary or middle school math problems.
It was so simple. Su Luo couldn't even bear to look at it.
The girl raised her head, and seeing Su Luo's surprised expression, she smirked with a disdainful look in her eyes: "What are you looking at?! You understand these questions?"
Su Luo: "……"
She already didn't know what to say.
But Su Luo didn't want to bother with other people's business, so she coolly stood up and handed the medicinal pill over: "Appraise it."
"Seriously…" Irritated, the red-robed Apothecary stood up, and was about to throw a fit at Su Luo.
But the instant her eyes met Su Luo’s, it was like someone had blocked off her throat, and she couldn't utter a single word. Her eyes were filled with shock and bewilderment.
What kind of eyes were those? Extremely beautiful, but what shocked people wasn't just their beauty, but mainly the ominous gaze in those eyes.
The red-robed Apothecary subconsciously rubbed her own neck, feeling a chill there, as if it had already been cut open.
Terrified, she took a step back and knocked a chair to the floor, making a sharp noise.
This sound shocked the red-robed Apothecary back to her senses, and while she had complicated feelings about it, she forced herself to barely keep a straight face: "Appraisal… It’s just an appraisal, so what’s with the angry face?"
That being said, her hand movements weren't slow, and she opened the box Su Luo gave her with a single motion.
Once she opened the box, a hint of disdain surfaced in her eyes. Lifting her head, she saw that the two tall and sturdy fellows had come inside and now stood at either side of her. She immediately regained her confidence.
The red-robed Apothecary appraiser pointed at Su Luo's Grandmaster Spirit Absorbing Pills with a sneer: "Elementary Spirit Absorbing Pills, and the color is yellow. It’s dusty and cracked. Extremely mediocre refinement. Appraised to be at the end of Elementary grade, worth 100 points.
Su Luo: "……"
This red-robed girl still thought her remarks were not disdainful enough to agitate Su Luo and coldly spat out, "You dare try to sell such trash to me? How stupid!"
Su Luo: "……"
Such magnificent Grandmaster pills were actually appraised to be trash??? Could there be anything more ridiculous than this? Was this red-robed apothecary's eyes covered with trash?
At that moment, Su Luo was left speechless, so she took the Grandmaster Spirit Absorbing Pill back, snapped the box closed, and turned away to leave.
Just then, a figure walked into the room.
Just as they brushed shoulders past Su Luo, they suddenly called out in surprise, "Hey, wait up."
Su Luo looked up.
It was an old man of about 50 to 60 years old, with a scattering of a white beards on his lower jaw. His eyes were beaming, and he was clearly friendly.
But… Su Luo didn't recognise him.
While Su Luo had a perplexed look, the old man suddenly smiled, and his attitude was quite respectful: "Could you be Miss Su? The one who sold Master pills in Purgatory City?"
