"Pavilion master, something ... Something big has happened. We originally prepared ten portions of spiritual herbs, but three of them were stolen. Now, there are only seven portions left." Shopkeeper Qian said, panting.
"What?" Pavilion master Meng's face darkened. The other spirit alchemists were also surprised.
Although they all knew Ling Chuxi's alchemy standard, special grade Saint breakthrough pills were not ordinary spiritual pills. They were afraid that her success rate in refining them would not be too high. Now that three out of the ten sets of spiritual herbs she had prepared had been stolen, the pressure on her had increased.
"It's my fault. I didn't take good care of these spiritual herbs. I've already sent people to investigate thoroughly. We must find a way to get these spiritual herbs back." Shopkeeper Qian said in self-blame.
"What other spiritual herbs were stolen?" Pavilion master Meng asked in a low voice.
"Other than that, there's nothing else," Shopkeeper Qian replied.
"There's no need to check, there won't be any results even if you do," Pavilion master Meng already had an answer in his heart. At such a critical juncture, the spiritual herb had been stolen. Coincidentally, Xingfeng Chamber of Commerce had been looking for related spiritual herbs everywhere these days. It wasn't hard to guess who had done it.
He didn't blame shopkeeper Qian. If he had to blame someone, he could only blame himself for being too careless. If he had known that Xingfeng Chamber of Commerce would do things unscrupulously, he would have personally looked after those spiritual herbs.
"Send the seven portions of spiritual herbs over first." Pavilion master Meng continued.
"Yes, yes. Fortunately, these spirit herbs were stored separately, so the others were not lost. I've already sent people to send them over." Shopkeeper Qian replied.
At this moment, she saw Xia Yimin walk in with an ashen face.
"Yimin, what's wrong?" Pavilion master Meng asked with a bad premonition.
"Pavilion master, the dozens of Golden Star radishes and purple root orchids that we stored in the old mansion in the East City have all disappeared. I guess someone has stolen them." Xia Yimin said.
"What?" This time, it was shopkeeper Qian who exclaimed. The herbs that Xia Yimin had mentioned were only supplementary ingredients, and they were usually not included in the list. Therefore, the Golden Star Luo and the purple root orchid were not included in the list of herbs that he had just mentioned.
The other spirit alchemists also frowned. They didn't expect that even the Golden Star radish and the purple root orchid had been stolen. Although these two spiritual herbs were only supplementary ingredients, they were essential. They had also guessed who had done this. This move by the Xingfeng Chamber of Commerce was really ruthless.
Deacon Mei's mouth had already formed an "O" shape. It had been stolen! The spiritual herbs that he had worked so hard to tamper with had all been stolen.
He was still waiting to see a good show from Ling Chuxi. Now that all those spiritual herbs had been stolen, what good show was there to watch?
Xiang Gaoyuan, you old B * stard, why did you have to steal the spiritual herbs now?! Deacon Mei had never hated Ling Chuxi so much, even when the pillheart Pavilion had been suppressed by the Xingfeng Chamber of Commerce.
"What's going on? Didn't I tell you that all spiritual herbs should be stored separately to prevent any accidents? why are these Golden Star radishes and purple root orchids in the same spiritual herb warehouse?" Pavilion master Meng angrily rebuked.
"The Golden Star radish and purple root orchid aren't very rare, and they don't have much use other than to refine the Saint breakthrough pill, so they've always been stored together." Shopkeeper Qian explained.
If it was not for Ling Chuxi's need to refine the Saint breakthrough pill, the two spiritual herbs would probably not be used even after decades. On top of that, they were not very rare, so it was normal for them to be ignored.
"Have you investigated? are there any clues?" Pavilion master Meng asked Xia Yimin anxiously.
