The Rising Phoenix

"No, I have the money. Here." Xiao Li put enough money on the table in front of the old man.

The old man looked at the money and the girl in front of him. He thought he could know the young miss of the girl. He sighed. He gave the herbs to Xiao Li.

Xiao Li took the herbs and put them in her bag. She wanted to leave the shop before she remembered that she still had something to ask the old man. She took out another list and gave it to the old man.

"What is..." The old man could not finish his sentence, and he was startled by what was written on the list.

All the herbs written in the list were high-ranking herbs. It was not easy to come across these herbs. These herbs were usually in the red mark area that had some kind of beasts guarding them. So, it was hard to get those herbs. Even the powerful cultivator could be having problems getting the herbs.

"We don't have these herbs." The old man shook his head.

"I know. I just want to ask; do you have information on where these herbs might be?" Xiao Li asked. She had been told by her young miss.

"Oh, you just want information? Sorry, I don't have it." The old man said.

Listening to the old man's answer, Xiao Li could not help but feel sad. Her young miss needed them.

"But other people might." The old man continued his sentence.

"What? Other people?" Xiao Li said.

"Young miss, you can get the information from Shengbai House. They can provide information. But you need a lot of money if you want to get a piece of information for the list of the herbs." The old man told Xiao Li.

"Thank you, sir..." Xiao Li was happy. Even though she could not buy other herbs she still had some information about the herbs that she could tell his young miss.

Xiao Li went home skipping all along the road. She entered the house using the secret entrance that her young miss found. Xiao Li was very careful because she did not want others to see her. Otherwise, everything would be wasted.

She entered the courtyard. Her young miss was sitting outside dazing off while looking at the sky.

"Young Miss, I'm back." Xiao Li announced her return.

"Oh, welcome back. Did you get everything that I want?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"I got everything on this list." Xiao Li said while showing the list. "But on this list, every herb is not available in the market. Most of them need to be searched." She pointed to another list.

Bai Xifeng nodded. "Thank you, Xiao Li." She knew the herbs in another list were very hard to find. Well, she just knew from Baishe.
