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

The burly man first opened two boxes, both filled with pills.

When they opened the third box, An Chang and Qian Lai were on tenterhooks.

Zhao Jinzhong clenched his fists, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The burly man slammed the third box open and took a closer look.

An Chang was closest and saw the clearest view; he let out a long sigh of relief.

He gave Zhao Jinzhong and Qian a reassuring look, and that was it.

"Okay, go in, arrange the medicine, register it, and then leave quickly. Liu Tong should have told you what to do, right?"

Qian Lai nodded and bowed, saying, "I told you, Manager Liu has explained everything clearly."

The three of them got back into the carriage, entered Shuixianfang, went around to the backyard, and delivered the pills into the house through the back door.

No one dared to utter a sound until the carriage stopped in the backyard.

Inside the carriage, Zhao Jinzhong and An Chang looked at the third empty box, their eyes meeting, wondering what had happened.

"Where did Zhou Ru go?" An Chang asked Zhao Jinzhong with a look in his eyes.

Zhao Jinzhong shook his head and responded to An Chang with his eyes, indicating that he himself did not know either.

As the carriage stopped, Zhou Ruo's voice came from the third empty box. She called out in a breathy voice, "Brother... Brother..."

The sound startled both Zhao Jinzhong and An Chang.

"Ruo Ruo, where are you?" Zhao Jinzhong asked the box.

Zhou Ruo gently pushed the lid of the box and said, "I'm right inside the box. I used an invisibility talisman, so none of you can see me."

Zhou Ruo chuckled twice, finding it quite amusing.

Little did she know, the three people outside the box were all sweating bullets for her.

This was because she had specifically instructed Zhao Jinzhong and the other two before boarding the carriage, saying that no matter what happened on the carriage when they arrived at their destination,

Don't be surprised or afraid, she will be alright.

Despite being reassured beforehand, the three of them still felt nervous and guilty at the gate just now.

"Brother, I think I know what this medicinal fragrance is. Take me inside; I want to see the pills inside."

Zhao Jinzhong and the other two, each carrying a box, entered the house through the back door.

There were two guards behind the door. None of Zhao Jinzhong and his two companions knew the way. Qian Lai spoke to the guards...

"Brothers, this is our first time here. We would be grateful if you could show us the way."

Qian Lai put down the box, smiled, and gave each guard a silver ingot.

The two guards weighed the silver in their hands, then exchanged a satisfied smile.

The older guard said to the younger one, "You take them in, I'll stay here and keep watch."

The young guard, who had never seen so much silver before, was happy to help Zhao Jinzhong and his companions.

The four of them walked through the main hall and arrived at a spot in the center.

The guard opened the hidden compartment, pressed the switch, and a hidden door behind the wooden openwork shelf slowly opened.

There was only one large room in Shuixianfang, but after Zhao Jinzhong entered the room, he found that the layout inside was not very large.

He didn't understand until he saw the storeroom behind the hidden door.

From the outside, the building appears to be twice the size of Ji'an Hall, but it turns out that a large portion of it has been converted into a hidden storeroom.

Zhao Jinzhong carried the "empty box" inside.

The guard on duty looked at him from behind and saw that he was struggling a bit. He thought he was hallucinating and felt that he wasn't carrying an empty box.

It looks heavier than the other two boxes combined.

"Wow~" A sound suddenly came from the box in Zhao Jinzhong's hand, and the four of them were stunned on the spot.

"Why is there a child's voice?" The guard on duty became alert.

"A child?" An Chang was the first to react. "Where?"

The guard walked up to Zhao Jinzhong and stared down at the box in his arms.

Then she looked up and asked him, "Empty?"

Zhao Jinzhong pretended to be confused as he looked at the guard, "It's empty. You can open it and see for yourself."

The guard opened the box, and it was indeed empty.

He scratched the back of his head, looking puzzled.

But he was too lazy to meddle in other people's business, so he slowly withdrew from the hidden warehouse and returned to his post.

Just now, Zhou Ruo followed the box into the warehouse, and she could directly sense that there was something powerful in the warehouse.

Therefore, I couldn't help but make a sound when I entered the room.

There were five people in the warehouse. Four of them were playing mahjong, and one was watching from the sidelines, waiting for the game to change.

Upon seeing Zhao Jinzhong and his two companions carrying boxes as they entered, one of the men at the table spoke to the other who was idling nearby.

"Fengzi, go and count them, register them."

A young man got up and walked over.

The person who just spoke looks like the manager of this warehouse.

The steward suddenly remembered something and shouted towards Zhao Jinzhong.

"Fengzi, there are more than a dozen pills that were sent last time that we can't use. Return them to them."

The man named Fengzi first had An Chang and Qian Lai place the pills in the designated location, and then went to find the registration book.

He returned and handed the booklet to Qian Lai: "Write down everything in it carefully, don't miss anything, and don't write anything wrong."

Then he said to Zhao Jinzhong, "You, come here with the empty boxes and put back all those non-compliant items."

Fengzi led Zhao Jinzhong past the group playing mahjong and to a door.

As Zhao Jinzhong followed Feng Zi to the entrance of the warehouse, the aroma of medicine wafting through the courtyard grew stronger.

Fengzi also turned on the switch from the hidden compartment, and a small door opened.

Behind the small door was another warehouse.

A strong medicinal smell wafted towards him, and Zhao Jinzhong involuntarily coughed twice, irritated by the pungent odor.

Once inside, Zhao Jinzhong realized why Zhou Ruo had made that "wow" sound earlier.

Because at that moment, he also really wanted to exclaim "Wow!"

He also noticed that the warehouse was unusually warm.

The room has walls on all four sides, and on the very top of one wall, there is a two-meter-long skylight.

A large bronze alchemy furnace was placed in front of the wall, connected to a pipe of moderate thickness that extended out from the skylight.

That's why the courtyard smells of medicine.

On the other side, against the wall, there was a wall-to-wall openwork medicine cabinet.

There were many exquisite rosewood boxes and some white porcelain vases on display.

There was a small stove in the corner, and the fire inside was always burning. If you got close, you could clearly feel the heat from the stove.

The warmth Zhao Jinzhong felt at the beginning came from this small stove.

In a corner near the entrance, boxes containing pills were neatly arranged.

Feng Zi led Zhao Jinzhong to the piles of pills and said to him,

"There are several pills to be returned in these marked boxes. Pick them out one by one, put them in your empty box and take them with you."

"Those non-compliant drugs are also labeled, like this."

Fengzi took out a marked pill from the marked box and showed it to Zhao Jinzhong.

"Okay, I understand. Leave it to me, don't worry," Zhao Jinzhong replied to Fengzi.

As he spoke, Zhao Jinzhong began to open the marked medicine boxes one by one and carefully sort out the marked pills.

Fengzi saw that he had picked up two boxes, and there seemed to be no problem with them.

He disliked the smell of medicine in the storeroom, so he made an excuse and left.

Zhao Jinzhong was left to sort the goods inside.

Before leaving, he left a message: "Don't touch or look at the things in here. Once you've picked them up, get out of here quickly."

Fengzi was actually looking forward to playing mahjong. He had been waiting for more than half an hour and it was still not his turn. He was really itching to play.

After watching Fengzi leave, Zhou Ruo opened the empty box and climbed out.

"Brother," Zhou Ruo said to Zhao Jinzhong in a very soft voice, "there are basalt stones, vermilion bird grass, and formations in here."

Zhao Jinzhong was amazed. It seemed that bringing Zhou Ruo along this time was a very wise decision.

"Brother, you pick these up first, I'll go check over there!"

Zhou Ruo pointed in a direction and spoke to Zhao Jinzhong, but Zhao Jinzhong could not see her.

"Ruoruo, don't run around, I can't see you."

Zhou Ruo momentarily forgot about her invisibility.

She drew a Taoist talisman in front of Zhao Jinzhong, and Zhao Jinzhong was able to see her.

"You're not going to hide anymore?" Zhao Jinzhong asked her in surprise, turning back to look at the door, worried that someone might come in.

"You can see me now, but others can't."

Zhao Jinzhong breathed a sigh of relief; he had only ever seen the invisibility spell in books.

Seeing it with my own eyes now is truly astonishing.

"Then be careful and don't make any noise," Zhao Jinzhong instructed Zhou Ruo.

Zhou Ruo was very excited, nodded twice, and then turned and ran away.
