A four-year-old medical prodigy descended to the mortal realm, and the entire capital sought her tre

"It's still more convenient to treat illnesses with pills." Zhou Ruo still missed the pills.

A few steps further, Zhou Ruo looked up at the signboard in front of her and read: "Jingxi Pharmacy".

"Brother, isn't this the pharmacy with snake spirit fruit in the backyard that Sister Yueyi mentioned?"

Zhou Ruo's eyes suddenly lit up. "Brother! You brought me here to pick snake spirit fruits, didn't you? Wow! Brother, you're so good to me!"

Zhao Jinzhong picked up Zhou Ruo, who was bouncing on Wulong's back, and as soon as she landed, he dashed into the Jingxi Pharmacy.

After Zhao Jinzhong settled Wulong in front of the pharmacy, he followed him inside.

"What snake spirit fruit? Our pharmacy sells medicine, not fruit. Kid, you've come to the wrong place."

As soon as Zhao Jinzhong entered the room, he heard the apprentice behind the counter say something to Zhou Ruo, who was only peeking out from behind the counter.

He stepped forward and picked Zhou Ruo up in his arms, instantly opening up her field of vision.

"Ruo Ruo, let's not rush to find the Snake Spirit Fruit. Take a look at the medicines and pills in this pharmacy..."

While listening to Zhao Jinzhong's words, Zhou Ruo also sensed the medicinal aura in the pharmacy.

All the medicinal herbs in the pharmacy were densely displayed in Zhou Ruo's mind, and she looked them over one by one.

In addition to regular medicinal herbs, there are many kinds of pills in the back room of the pharmacy.

Zhou Ruo felt that it smelled a bit like the medicine room in the Alchemy Sect in her previous life.

There are roughly no fewer than ten kinds of pills with various effects.

Zhou Ruo used her senses to distinguish them one by one, and among the dazzling array of pills, she suddenly noticed one in particular.

"Add one more ingredient and it will be a elixir that can cure Sirius disease!" Zhou Ruo muttered happily to herself.

The young apprentice seemed very impatient. "What are you muttering about, kid? Are you here to buy medicine?"

Zhou Ruo ignored him and quietly told Zhao Jinzhong, "Brother, the pills are all in that room inside."

Zhao Jinzhong followed Zhou Ruo's gaze and saw that the door to the room with the pills was tightly closed.

Zhao Jinzhong looked back at the young boy who was a doctor; he looked to be about ten years old.

He's not very old, but he has quite a temper.

He looks a bit like him back then, which is interesting.

"Young man, I need to see your manager." Zhao Jinzhong wasn't annoyed with him.

Upon hearing Zhao Jinzhong's strong and resonant voice, the young apprentice looked him over again.

As he grew older, Zhao Jinzhong gradually developed a dignified and imposing appearance.

However, his face still showed a hint of childishness.

The young apprentice's fierce demeanor softened somewhat, and he said to Zhao Jinzhong,

"Just tell me what medicine you need, and I'll get it for you. Our shopkeeper doesn't see just anyone!"

Hey! Zhao Jinzhong likes this stubbornness.

He pulled a gold ingot from his pocket, threw it onto the counter, and said with great fanfare,

"I don't want ordinary medicine. Get your manager out here; I want to talk to him!"

The young apprentice stared at the gold coin on the counter, swallowed hard, and his imposing manner noticeably weakened.

His slightly constricted throat made his words broken and fragmented. "I...our manager...isn't...he's not here..."

Zhao Jinzhong sighed softly and pointed to the room with the door tightly closed, saying, "The medicine I want is in that room."

The young apprentice paused for a moment, about to speak, when he saw Wang Xingtian walking in from outside the shop.

He immediately changed his tune, his smile now laced with obsequiousness, "Young master, you've arrived!"

Wang Xingtian nodded in response and was about to walk into the pharmacy when he looked up and saw Zhao Jinzhong and Zhou Ruo.

Wang Xingtian spent many years moving among various noble families, developing a keen eye for reading people.

The moment he saw Zhao Jinzhong, he knew that this man was no ordinary person.

"May I ask who you are, young master?" Wang Xingtian asked Zhao Jinzhong.

Zhao Jinzhong raised an eyebrow; he hadn't expected the unfamiliar young man before him to be so humble.

In contrast, the waiter behind the counter seemed more like a "young master".

"My name is Zhao Jinzhong," Zhao Jinzhong said, bowing with his hands clasped.

Wang Xingtian suddenly widened his eyes, immediately clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute, and said very politely.

"You're the champion of the martial arts tournament a while back, the young general of the General's Mansion who rose to fame at a young age?"

"You flatter me, sir!" Zhao Jinzhong replied casually.

Wang Xingtian's gaze shifted to Zhou Ruo. "Could this young lady be Princess Ji'an?"

The young princess, whom the emperor recently bestowed the title of "Little Princess," is the eldest daughter of the General's mansion and the adopted sister of the young general.

Others might not know, but Wang Xingtian, who is well-informed, certainly does.

"Hehe, you recognize me?"

Zhou Ruo felt that the young master in front of her was much smarter than the medicine boy.

Wang Xingtian immediately bowed to Zhou Ruo: "Wang Xingtian of the Ministry of Personnel greets Your Highness, Princess!"

So he was Wang Xingtian?

Zhao Jinzhong secretly admired this man's keen insight.

No wonder the eldest daughter of the Sheng family was so infatuated with him.

How many young ladies could resist a man who knows how to handle things so well?

"No need for formalities! No need for formalities!" Zhou Ruo chuckled.

She gradually got used to people bowing to her, and she also learned to respond to those who bowed to her in the tone of those princes and nobles.

After getting acquainted, Wang Xingtian asked Zhao Jinzhong and his companion the purpose of their visit.

Zhou Ruo blurted out, "We want to see your medicinal pills!"

Zhao Jinzhong glanced at her. This child is so quick to talk, she doesn't even know what she's talking about.

He had no choice but to reply, "Exactly."

Wang Xingtian's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm on the surface. "Did you two know that we have elixirs here?"

"I..." Zhou Ruo almost blurted out that she had seen something in the inner room.

Fortunately, Zhao Jinzhong had anticipated this and immediately covered her mouth when she spoke.

He said, "We have some connections with the Marquis of Pingle's household."

"The Marquis of Ping Le's residence?" Upon hearing this, Wang Xingtian immediately guessed that Sheng Aotian and Zhao Jinzhong had recommended this place.

Zhao Jinzhong: "Exactly."

"Oh...! Aotian and I both work in the Ministry of Personnel, and many of our colleagues have bought pills from us."

Wang Xingtian guessed that Zhao Jinzhong might have heard from Sheng Aotian that the medicines he bought were quite effective.

Therefore, Zhao Jinzhong also wanted to buy it.

Wang Xingtian secretly felt a sense of admiration for Sheng Aotian, even though he could recommend a young general like Zhao Jinzhong to him.

This colleague is acceptable!

"Can we take a look at your elixirs?" Zhao Jinzhong pressed his advantage.

"Of course! Young General, Princess, this way please!"

Zhao Jinzhong first turned around and went back to the counter to retrieve the gold ingot.

Then he gave the medicine boy a cryptic look.

After the young apprentice learned that one of the two was a young general and the other a princess, he immediately regretted his unwise attitude earlier.

When he saw the way Zhao Jinzhong was looking at him, he trembled even more.

He quickly made three cups of hot tea.

Wang Xingtian led Zhao Jinzhong and the other into the room where the pills were displayed. The various medicinal smells wafted towards them, which pleased Zhou Ruowen.

After Zhou Ruo went inside, he went straight to the medicine jar that was just one ingredient away from curing the Sirius disease.

I tried to peek through the bottle opening to see the pills, but I was too short to reach them.

"Brother, this!"

Zhou Ruo looked up at the earthenware jar on the table, which was half the size of her body, and pointed to the mouth of the jar as she spoke to Zhao Jinzhong.

They look just like children at a market looking to buy candy.
