Blood Clotting Grass

After contacting the hunter team, Lingling immediately began preparations, while Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu also started packing their things.

The next day, the four of them prepared their equipment as Lingling had requested, and then took the high-speed train directly to Wuling City.

After getting off the high-speed train, Lin Chen and his group of four rested briefly before continuing their journey to Wuyuan Town, located on the outskirts of Wuling City.

Upon arriving at Wuyuan Town, Lin Chen called Liu Lin and learned that the Skyfire Squad was still on its way and would need some more time, so he decided to explore the town first.

The town is simple, consisting of two main roads that intersect in a cross shape. There are many shops and stalls along the main roads, not much different from other post stations or small villages.

But for Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu, who were visiting this border town for the first time, it was quite a novel experience, a style completely different from that of big cities.

Because Wuyuan Town is near a vast primeval forest, there are many hunters in the town who frequently venture into the wild. They gather in groups, either discussing their survival experiences in the wild or boasting about how they snatched treasures from demons. Of course, the most frequent topics are money and women...

Walking down the streets of Wuyuan Town with two beautiful women and a little girl, Lin Chen naturally attracted a lot of strange looks.

Lin Chen and his group ignored this and continued walking on the street. None of the hunter mages active in the town bothered them.

After all, judging from their clothes and appearance, those two beautiful women were clearly from prominent families. Moreover, the fact that they dared to bring such a young girl to a border town full of all sorts of people and hidden dangers meant that they were either exceptionally powerful themselves or had powerful bodyguards with them.

Neither of them are people they can afford to offend; they're lucky if they can even look at pretty girls and feast their eyes.

Perhaps because of its proximity to a primeval forest, the shops along the town's streets were quite nice and not too deserted.

Lin Chen looked at the shops on both sides with great interest, but had no intention of going in. After all, the shops here only had some items commonly used in the wild. The precious items had already been sent to the big city. It was better to browse the stalls.

But when Lin Chen's gaze swept over a shop, his eyes stopped. After thinking for a moment, he walked towards the shop.

Ai Tutu and the others followed behind, glancing up at the shop's sign: "Xingsheng Pharmacy".

Lin Chen wasn't particularly interested in other things, but he desperately needed medicine.

It's important to know that Digimon are always engaged in close combat with various opponents, making them very susceptible to injury.

The Qingling Ears he had previously collected from the wild were in high demand due to the evolution of Digimon, and there were very few left. He urgently needed medicine to replenish them.

Upon entering the pharmacy, one finds it quite busy with customers and staff members so occupied that no one comes to greet Lin Chen and his companions.

Lin Chen scanned the pharmacy, and his gaze lingered on a shelf labeled "healing medicines".

Seeing the words on the medicine cabinet, Lingling immediately patted her head and said remorsefully, "You came to buy medicine for Guilmon and the others, right? I've never seen Guilmon and the others injured before, and I completely forgot."

"We still have the medicine, but I'm afraid it won't be enough," Lin Chen said. In fact, even if Lingling remembered, she might not be able to calculate the amount correctly, since the Tyrannosaurus Rex's true size had not yet been shown to Lingling.

"I'll help you!" Lingling said.

"You know about this?" Lin Chen looked at Lingling in surprise. He was waiting for the shop assistant to recommend something.

"I didn't earn my title of Hunter Master for nothing," Lingling said with a touch of pride.

Lingling's eyes darted quickly across the medicine cabinet, but after looking at everything, she shook her head in disappointment. There were quite a few medicines, but they were mostly for humans. Giving these medicines to her summoned beasts and feeding them all wouldn't seem to have much of an effect.

Just as Lingling was about to pick out a few particularly potent medicines for Lin Chen from among those medicines, her gaze, which was scanning him up and down, suddenly froze.

Below the medicine cabinet, there was a burlap sack containing some herbaceous plants with broad oval leaves and a total length of about ten centimeters.

"Could you please get that pile of medicine on the ground for me so I can take a look?" Lingling calmly called out to a shop assistant next to her.

The middle-aged shop assistant who was called over looked at the medicine on the ground in the direction Lingling pointed. A hint of impatience flashed across his face at first, but when he looked at Lingling again, his face immediately lit up with a smile. He quickly walked to the medicine cabinet and moved all the medicine from the sack onto the counter.

"Little sister, you have a good eye! This is blood-clotting grass, a top-quality wound medicine. Our shop is just about to send it back to the city. If you want it, I'll sell it to you for five thousand each." The middle-aged shop assistant said, taking out four samples from the sack and handing them to Lingling and the others.

Lin Chen and his two companions glanced at the sample, but couldn't understand anything about it, so they returned it immediately.

Lingling stared at the sample for a long time, then glared at the middle-aged salesperson and said loudly, "Is your store a rip-off?"

As soon as Lingling finished speaking, the other customers in the store all turned to look in this direction.

The middle-aged shop assistant quickly shouted to the other customers that it was a misunderstanding, then glared at Lingling and whispered, "Little sister, are you trying to ruin our shop's reputation?"

Lingling rolled her eyes at the middle-aged shop assistant and said, "If this isn't a shady shop, why are you selling Blood-Dispersing Grass as Blood-Clotting Grass? Blood-Dispersing Grass costs a thousand per piece, and you're selling it for ten thousand! That's outrageous profiteering!"

"This is truly a blood-clotting herb!" the middle-aged shop assistant insisted.

"The market price for a single piece of blood-clotting grass is 50,000. How come you're paying for your customers' purchases out of your own pocket? Besides, although blood-clotting grass and blood-dispersing grass look similar, they are still different. Do you want me to show you?" Although Lingling's voice wasn't loud, the imposing manner she exuded overwhelmed the middle-aged shop assistant.

"My fault, my fault." The middle-aged shop assistant felt the pressure from Lingling and quickly put on a smile. Then he quickly tapped the Blood-Dispersing Grass in the bag and continued, "If you really want it, there are forty in this bag. I'll give you a 10% discount, so it'll be 36,000."

"You're smart to know what's good for you." Lingling nodded, carefully checked the Blood-Dispersing Grass in the bag, had the shop assistant pack it up for her, and then said to Lin Chen, "Pay."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen immediately took out his bank card and swiped it to pay the shop assistant.

The middle-aged shop assistant smiled obsequiously and watched Lin Chen and the others leave. In his heart, he couldn't help but curse himself for looking down on people. He never expected that such a young girl would be an expert. He had originally wanted to make a fortune, but now he had to pay out of his own pocket.

Reaching a secluded corner, Lingling handed the packaged medicinal herbs to Lin Chen, a joyful smile spreading across her face: "Finally got a bargain! This feels so good!"
