Chapter 348: My Dog Has His Deep Thoughts Too

Translator: End less Fantasy Translation     Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Shu family had a deep-rooted history in the world of medicine, and naturally, Shu Jun had a good grasp of all the herb merchants in the Great Shu Dynasty.

When it came to this topic, Shu Jun was in his element. “I wonder, Master, are you looking for top quality, or do you have other requirements?”

He had an eidetic memory, having immersed himself in the Shu family’s book repository from a young age. After that, he read all the books, and he did not even skip the account books.

So, anything that appeared in his view was neatly categorized in his brain, just like a modern computer. When needed, he could retrieve information effortlessly.

This was also the reason he became a standout among the younger generation of the Shu family at the tender age of 15!

Liu Shimei replied, “For valuable herbs, quality is paramount. For common herbs, an eight out of ten would suffice.”

She thought for a moment and added, “Overall, quality is the priority. As for the price, it shouldn’t be too outrageous.”

It was not that they did not have the money, but there was no need to waste it.

“Understood,” Shu Jun responded. “In that case, I suggest that you choose between the Jiang family in the south of the city and the Wu family in the north. Or… a combination.”

“You’re right; a combination is necessary,” Liu Shimei nodded. “Compile the information for me and send it to my place.”

Combination meant not favoring one exclusive supplier. Because no single herb merchant would have top-quality herbs in all categories, there would always be some shortcomings. So, prioritizing the best and not relying solely on one supplier was a prudent approach.

The information to be compiled naturally included all common herbs and the quality levels each herb reached.

Shu Jun was quite knowledgeable in this aspect, and he readily agreed.

Afterward, they formally went through the ceremony of apprenticeship, bowing and offering tea.

Just as Qi Yang had prepared a set of Nine-Nine Soul-Sucking Needles for Liu Shimei, she said, “When I entered the sect, my master crafted a set of Nine-Nine Soul-Sucking Needles for me. It will be the same for you. However, the crafting of the silver needles takes time, so 1 will give them to you once they are ready.”

“Thank you, Master,” Shu Jun nodded gratefully.

Liu Shimei continued, “The Nine-Nine Soul-Sucking Needle Formation is something I also recently learned. You are a rational person, and I believe your learning ability is excellent. When the time comes, 1 will teach you some basic knowledge of geometry and physics.”

She was not exactly a science prodigy, but she had learned quite well. Her humanities were weaker, but inheriting some talents from the original owner of this body made her somewhat of a polymath.

Shu Jun humbly replied, “Your disciple will heed Father’s advice. Master has not been practicing the Nine-Nine Soul-Sucking Needle Formation for long, yet you have already become highly skilled. Master is my role model.”

Liu Shimei chuckled and said, “You, child, need not be so modest.” After saying this, she suddenly realized that she was only a year older than her disciple and laughed, “Well, never mind, let’s disperse. Everyone, go back to your respective places.”

After parting ways at the Immortal Guest Restaurant, Huangfu Lingyao naturally rode in her carriage with his wife.

The sky was getting dark, and Huangfu Lingyao leaned against the soft cushion beside him, his eyes lowered in deep thought.

Liu Shimei casually glanced over and saw the pensive expression on his face.

She was somewhat surprised, thinking, Does my little puppy have deep thoughts too?

Curiously, she asked, “What are you thinking about?”

“I suddenly thought of an interesting place. Would my dear wife like to go?” Huangfu Lingyao looked at her.

Liu Shimei smiled and asked, “Is your bottom not sore anymore? You still want to travel around?”
