Peerless Alchemist: Useless Sixth Miss

Chapter 23 - 23: Small Fund

Penniless trash who worse than a beggar is Zhang Wen Jing, then what about the reincarnated Rong Fangsu?

From yesterday accident, Rong Fangsu managed to 'pick up' some silver, the current her is not penniless or miserable but that doesn't mean what she has were enough. With that decision in mind, "I think I know where I should start" she said that as she quickens her pace.

Wenming Kingdom's biggest store, Jade Ring Pavilion.

Within the Capital City Hai Da there are many Aunction Houses and some that also acted as Pawn Shops but the most luxurious and wealthy is certainly Jade Ring Pavilion, which only received the best and most expensive treasure to be sold and buy.

Finally arrived at the designated location, the first thing she encounter were crowd. Customers were streaming in and out continuously to the point of being hectic.

"Befitting the number one Aunction Houses of Hai Da" Rong Fangsu mumbled to herself, her voice soft and sound.

Although Zhang Wen Jing was the Manor's Young Miss, due to her plain looking clothes, no one paid much attention to her, thus it's easy for her to slip into the crowd without anyone noticing her.

After walking around the shop, she found that Jade Ring Pavilion truly deserved its name of being the number one shop in Wenming Kingdom. With that though she begin surveying the market, all the medicinal herbs she needed were available here. It's nice that she don't have to make serveral around to get the entire herb on her list. It was just...in regards to the price, it was depression and heart wrenching.

For instance, a stalk of Yellow Bromeliad Grass, one of many common low ranking of grade herb, cost her over ten silvers. On other hand, Green Busy Seed cost six silvers while one flower bud of the Water Lily was thirteen silvers….

Rong Fangsu can only sigh as she lament.

And – these were only prices for the lowest grade of herbs. If one wanted a higher grade of herbs, the prices multiplied by a few fold.

Gritting her teeth and recalling the list in her mind, she need over fifteen different herbs and at five or six of each, for her first step of treatment. While some of them can be low grade but some other need to be medium grade for her recovery to be effective. In all, if she wanted to obtain everything, she needed at least three hundred silvers.

Rong Fangsu unconscious frowned, touching her money pouch, she felt that the reality was cold and harsh. Before leaving, she had questioned her senior maidservant Danqiang. Afterwards she was told how pitifully poor she really was. Ever since the test for her innate ability when she was five, her biological Father had used excuse that she's 'trash' that unable to cultivate thus she forbidden to use any cultivation resource, truth be told Zhang Wen Jing wasn't allow to be near all those few valuable pills kept in Zhang Manor Treasury, forget touching, even look is forbidden. As a stately young miss of Zhang Manor, she should receive at least thirty silvers for monthly allowance but in reality as the most unloved daughter of Zhang Bo and his ultimate shame, every month she only received ten silvers but nowadays it reduced down to five silvers, a measly amount such unjust recession is just depressing. Due to sudden receding of income, both Danqiang and Xiaohui although reluctantly, had to restore to last resort, pawning any valuable to kept the three mouths fed.

From Danqiang she received roughly twelve silvers, little but Rong Fangsu cannot look down on such amount, slightly touched as Danqiang handed all her money to her.

Of course twelve silvers is but measly sum, not enough to buy all herbs on her list. Although that not the only silver she had. From yesterday memorable event she did pick up some 'fine' amount from her arrogant Seventh Sister two hundred and twenty silver and from the dignified Second Sister roughly four hundred silver, therefore the current Rong Fangsu has roughly six hundred and thirty amounts of silvers in her procession.

Afterward Rong Fangsu began to purchase all necessary items she needed. This was the first time that Shopkeeper Da saw the Sixth Young Miss ever come to Jade Ring Pavilion, as a renowned number one trash of Wenming Kingdom, even him can't help but be curious. Who knows what this good-for-nothing person wanted to buy.

After all, the majority of Jade Ring Pavilion's merchandise was armaments and pills or herbs. These clearly were catered specifically for cultivators.

Filled with curiosity, Shopkeeper Da can't help followed behind Rong Fangsu who leisure looked around.

"Sixth Miss Zhang, I please ask you what you want to purchase?" he asked politely with service mind.

"I take everything on this list" turning her head to him, causally she handed him a piece of paper before her gaze landed on something.

"Yes, yes please wait–"

His voice was interrupted by the girl's crystal clear voice, "That refining pot, I'm be taking it".

Shopkeeper Da was momentarily stunned: "This...Young Miss Zhang, do you know what this is used for?"

"Isn't it just a refining furnace for refining pill?" Rong Fangsu looked at him strangely as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
