Urban Immortal Lord
Chapter 26 Spring Hall
Early the next morning, Xia Tian received a text message from Liu Zhenxing, saying that he had withdrawn one million yuan in cash from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and asked for Xia Tian's address so that he could deliver it to him.
Xia Tian sent Liu Zhenxing the location of the community, then got up and walked towards the bathroom. When she came out of the room, she didn't see her roommate Wang Xiaoling, but she saw another tenant washing up in the bathroom.
According to what Wang Xiaoling had said before, Xia Tian knew that he was sharing an apartment with two girls. He had already met Wang Xiaoling, but he had not yet met the other girl.
"Hello there."
Summer walked into the restroom and politely greeted the girl in front of her.
The girl was very thin, and her slender figure, combined with her pointed face, made her look extremely capable.
"Hello, you must be our new tenant, Xia Tian, right? I've heard Xiao Ling mention you; you're quite handsome." The girl glanced at Xia Tian and said, "My name is Tang Qian. It's nice to meet you."
When the girl introduced herself, Xia Tian learned that her other roommate was named Tang Qian. However, this girl had a calm and composed personality, unlike Wang Xiaoling, who seemed to be overly friendly with everyone.
"Take your time washing up, I'm in a hurry to get to work, I have to go now." Tang Qian said to Xia Tian after she finished washing up, and then walked quickly out of the living room.
Watching Tang Qian, dressed in a white shirt, hurriedly leave, Xia Tian couldn't help but smile. The pace of city life is so fast; even getting to work requires rushing.
About ten minutes after Xia Tian finished washing up, Liu Zhenxing called to say that he had arrived at the entrance of the residential area.
So, Xia Tian quickly tidied herself up, left her rented apartment, and headed towards the entrance of the residential complex.
When they arrived at the entrance, Xia Tian saw a black Volkswagen parked next to them, while Liu Zhenxing was waiting outside the car.
Upon seeing Xia Tian, they quickly went to greet her.
"You're here really early. The banks probably aren't open yet, are they?" Xia Tian said with a smile.
Seeing this, Liu Zhenxing hurriedly said, "I used some connections to get your money out smoothly. I can't even sleep well with this million in my account, so I'd better get it out for you as soon as possible."
Clearly, Liu Zhenxing was still traumatized by the beating, and since the million yuan had been extorted from Huang Biao, he was worried that Huang Biao would bring people to cause him trouble.
After saying that, Liu Zhenxing quickly opened the trunk, took out a black leather suitcase, and handed it to Xia Tian.
"That million is all in there, brother. Be careful when you go out, don't get robbed," Liu Zhenxing warned, then suddenly realized that with Xia Tian's terrifying strength, who would dare to mess with him?
"Okay, thanks," Xia Tian said with a smile. "Aren't you going to work yet? Aren't you afraid of being late and getting yelled at by your supervisor?"
Xia Tian knew that Liu Zhenxing worked at the M City Finance Office, so she urged him on.
"Okay, I'm leaving right away," Liu Zhenxing said. "Let's get together again sometime, I'll treat you to drinks."
Xia Tian nodded with a smile, then jokingly scolded, "All of this is easy to discuss, let's go."
So Liu Zhenxing started his Volkswagen and drove off.
After parting ways with Liu Zhenxing, Xia Tian carried her suitcase and waited for a taxi at the entrance of the residential area, then got into the passenger seat.
"Hey buddy, where to?" the driver asked after we got in the car.
Xia Tian thought for a moment and said, "Are there any large traditional Chinese medicine shops in M City? You can take me there."
In the summer, when he needs to buy some medicinal herbs, he naturally won't go to a Western medicine shop, but rather to a long-established traditional Chinese medicine shop, probably because only there can he buy the herbs he needs.
"You've come to the right person. The most famous traditional Chinese medicine shop in M City is Huichuntang, which is said to have been established for over a century," the driver said with a smile to Xia Tian. "Would you like to go there?"
Huichun Hall?
Xia Tian pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright, let's go to Huichuntang."
"Alright." After learning Xia Tian's destination, the driver turned the car around and said, "However, Huichuntang is a bit far; it's not in the city center, but in the suburbs."
"It's alright, just take me to Huichuntang," Xia Tian said casually.
After Xia Tian confirmed it, the driver stepped on the gas and drove towards the location of Huichuntang.
About half an hour later, the rental car stopped in front of Huichuntang. Xia Tian paid fifty yuan for the fare, got out of the car, and looked at the plaque on the gate of Huichuntang.
In the summer, I saw that the plaque was a bit worn out, and the three large characters "Huichuntang" on it were carved in traditional Chinese characters, which clearly indicated that it had been there for many years.
There weren't many people coming and going inside Huichuntang; most of them were elderly.
Xia Tian knows that with the decline of traditional Chinese medicine and the rise of Western medicine, people in society today generally do not choose traditional Chinese medicine treatments, but prefer Western medicine.
Xia Tian couldn't help but sigh. After receiving the medical knowledge passed down from the Hermit of Wangchuan and his thousands of years of experience in practicing medicine, he had a deep admiration for the miraculous Chinese medicine treatments.
Not to mention the highest level of traditional Chinese medicine, which is using qi to control needles, even the "Zhuyou technique" far surpasses the clinical surgery of Western medicine.
Xia Tian certainly didn't know the "Zhu You Technique" of traditional Chinese medicine. He only knew the "Nine Needles of Life and Death" taught by the Hermit of Wangchuan. The introductory method of this acupuncture technique was to control the needle with Qi. Every needle was a fight against fate, especially the last needle, the ninth needle, which had the effect of bringing the dead back to life!
"Hello, do you need to see a doctor or pick up some medicine?"
When Xia Tian stepped into the hall of Huichuntang, a middle-aged man who looked young approached him and asked questions.
"I'm here to buy some medicinal herbs. I wonder if your shop has ginseng and snow lotus?" Xia Tian paused before speaking.
The middle-aged man saw that Xia Tian was dressed plainly and obviously not a wealthy person, and that he was carrying a suitcase, so he couldn't help but feel contemptuous.
"Ginseng and snow lotus, these are precious medicinal herbs. What year do you want?"
As they were talking, the middle-aged man took out a ginseng root the size of a carrot from the medicine cabinet and placed it in front of Xia Tian.
"This is artificially cultivated ginseng, and it's no more than three to five years old. I want to buy wild ginseng." Xia Tian could tell at a glance that the ginseng the middle-aged man had taken out was artificially cultivated and no more than five years old. This kind of ginseng would not contain any spiritual power, and it wouldn't be of much use to him.
"Good lad, you have a good eye. But this ginseng alone costs several thousand yuan. If you want to buy wild ginseng, even one that's over ten years old, it'll cost over ten thousand yuan. Can you afford it?"
The middle-aged man did not look at Xia Tian with new respect because Xia Tian could tell the age of the ginseng; instead, he mocked him.
"hehe."
Upon hearing this, Xia Tian sneered, "You're not me, how do you know I can't afford it?"
