The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 936: Speaking About The Same Lady

Si Tang had been extremely busy recently. She did not even have time to sleep properly. She was working tirelessly to obtain the materials she needed.

One of the servants finally returned with some news, saying that the Shanghai Pavilion possessed two of the herbs she needed. Hearing this news, she immediately went out and headed straight toward the Shanghai Pavilion.

"I want to buy Scarlet Blood Root and three-hundred-year-old Dragon-Heart Grass." Si Tang stated to one of the Shanghai Pavilion’s staff members.

"I will call Manager Lin to speak with you." The staff said.

Si Tang nodded and waited patiently for Manager Lin to come out and meet her. About five minutes later, Manager Lin appeared.

"Lady Si... I heard that you wish to purchase some rare items." Manager Lin said with a courteous smile.

"Yes." Si Tang nodded.

"We do have Scarlet Blood Root. However, the price has tripled since the war in the north. It will cost ten thousand taels." Manager Lin explained.

"That is fine. I will buy it." Si Tang said without hesitation. "What about the three-hundred-year-old Dragon-Heart Grass?"

"That one is a little difficult." Manager Lin said with a slightly apologetic tone.

"Why?" Si Tang asked for more details.

"We are planning to hold an auction soon. The three-hundred-year-old Dragon-Heart Grass is one of the items that will be auctioned." Manager Lin explained. "You can wait for the auction."

"When will the auction be held?" Si Tang asked.

"Hmm... Next month." Manager Lin replied.

"That is too late." Si Tang sighed softly.

Manager Lin naturally knew about Si Tang’s situation. She had probably been searching for these herbs for her mother’s illness.

"I was hoping to ask Lady Bai to refine the elixir for me before she returns." Si Tang mumbled under her breath.

Manager Lin happened to hear what she said. His expression immediately changed as he turned to look at Si Tang eagerly.

"Wait a moment. Lady Bai? Do you mean Lady Bai Xifeng?" Manager Lin asked with excitement, waiting for Si Tang to confirm it.

"Yes..." Si Tang looked slightly startled by Manager Lin’s sudden reaction.

The Manager Lin she knew was usually a very composed man. Even when facing the rarest herbs, he would not show such an obvious reaction. So, why did Manager Lin act like this when he heard Bai Xifeng’s name?

"Are those items requested by Lady Bai?" Manager Lin asked again, sounding even more eager than before.

"Yes." Si Tang nodded once more.

"In that case, I will give the items to you for free." Manager Lin said decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

"Huh?" Si Tang was completely confused by his sudden decision.

"I heard that you also inquired about other items earlier. Do you have the list with you?" Manager Lin asked.

"Yes." Si Tang was still in a daze, but she quickly took out the list and handed it to Manager Lin.

Manager Lin examined the list carefully. Heavenly Snow Lotus, Sixth-Grade Monster Cores, and Two-Revolution Longlife Seed. Those first two items... if he remembered correctly, the branch in the neighbouring city had them.

"Is Lady Bai planning to use all of these items?" Manager Lin asked with great curiosity.

"Yes." Si Tang nodded. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"I will ask someone to fetch them right now. The branch in the neighbouring city has them." Manager Lin stated.

"Do you know Lady Bai?" Si Tang asked, feeling puzzled.

"Of course. Lady Bai is one of our honorary guests at Shanghai Pavilion." Manager Lin said.

"Are you sure it is the same person?" Si Tang asked again, still feeling uncertain.

"Wait a minute." Manager Lin spoke to Si Tang before entering the back room.

After a few minutes, Manager Lin returned to a scroll. He opened the scroll and showed it to Si Tang.

"Is this Lady Bai Xifeng that you met before?" Manager Lin asked.

"Yes." Si Tang nodded.

She could not help but wonder why the manager of Shanghai Pavilion possessed a picture of Bai Xifeng.

"Then we are speaking about the same lady." Manager Lin nodded. Then, he continued, "Lady Bai contributes a lot to our Shanghai Pavilion. Therefore, we would like to help her inquire about these items."

"Oh..." Si Tang did not know what to reply.

"As for the items, you can come tomorrow to receive them." Manager Lin stated.

Si Tang left the Shanghai Pavilion in a daze. She originally thought she would spend a long time gathering all the required items. She certainly did not expect that she would be able to gather everything in such a short time.

...

Bai Xifeng went inside the Mirror World. She did not originally plan to enter the Mirror World. However, after being reminded by Baishe about the Nirvana Heart Fragment, she decided to step into the Mirror World.

Baishe was already waiting for Bai Xifeng to appear.

"Where is Nirvana Heart Fragment?" Baishe asked.

Bai Xifeng took out the item. She then turned to Baishe.

"What should I do? Do I need to plant it directly into the soil?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Hmm..." Baishe nodded.

"Only that?" Bai Xifeng asked again.

"Of course. You need to pour your spiritual Qi into it every night in order to activate it." Baishe explained.

"Pour my spiritual Qi every night?" Bai Xifeng was surprised.

"That’s right." Baishe nodded.

"For how long?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Six months. It is not that long." Baishe said.

"What happens if I miss it for one night?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"You are already planning to miss it?" Baishe asked while raising his eyebrow.

"Well, I am just asking. No one knows what might happen, right?" Bai Xifeng grinned mischievously.

"If you miss one night. You will need to start over again." Baishe said.
