Chapter 477 Can’t wait
“Then let’s…” Zhu Yu looked up at him.

Lu Qing shook his head slightly: "There are priorities in things. Besides, we've finally found the 'fish's' lair today. I wonder if that thing from before is related to him."

Whether he's trying to lure us in or not remains to be seen; let's wait and see.

What I'm more curious about right now is that person's intractable illness—what exactly is going on?

Zhu Yu nodded, and taking the opportunity to help Fu Wen lift the rune, he glanced behind him without leaving a trace. Sure enough, not far away, the tall and strong figure dressed in cloth was still there.

Well, seeing that the other party was following so closely, I felt relieved.

After wandering around for a while, the three of them finally returned to the inn. There was still a long queue outside the inn. Lu Qing asked Fu Wen to take the things back to the room, while he and Zhu Yu went to check on Yan Daoxin.

Yan Daoxin was used to these free clinics. Although he had only eaten a coarse flour pancake after all this trouble, he was a little unhappy and his face was a bit sour. But otherwise, he could handle it.

After all, with the talisman left by Lu Qing standing at the door, no one who came seeking medical help dared to show the slightest disrespect, regardless of whether they were refused.

For these thin and frail Brahmans, the talisman was incredibly intimidating; those large hands seemed to crush their bones as easily as crushing a straw.

Seeing Lu Qing and Zhu Yu return, Yan Daoxin looked at them with a sorrowful expression, sighed, and weakly gave instructions on taking the medicine to an old woman in front of her.

Lu Qing silently handed over a paper package, which was one of the several kinds of candied fruit that the shopkeeper of the witch doctor's shop had pointed out to them before they left, and that they had finally managed to buy after taking a detour.

Yan Daoxin picked it up and sniffed it. He smelled the sweet fragrance emanating from it, and a look of joy appeared on his face. He finally cheered up a bit. During a break from examining patients, he opened the paper package, took out a piece, and put it in his mouth. His cheeks bulged out, but he calmly continued to examine patients' pulses.

By nightfall, when it was completely dark, with the help of runes and talismans, they were finally able to turn away the people still waiting outside and tell them not to wait any longer. The innkeeper and his assistant quickly closed the door.

Anyway, there's unlikely to be any guests coming to stay right now. After these past few days, they've been quite overwhelmed by the noise and are even starting to miss the quiet, deserted atmosphere of the past.

"I'm exhausted... You guys were out for so long today, you didn't just go looking for these things, did you?" With no outsiders around, Yan Daoxin no longer needed to maintain his dignified and otherworldly demeanor. He leaned back in his chair, holding a piece of candied jujube in his hand, and asked lazily.

"You're full of complaints, but that doesn't stop you from stuffing your mouth with food." Lu Qing glared at him and gestured for Fu Wen to bring the food over.

Rune immediately went over and carried over the medicinal herbs he had purchased at great expense from that witch doctor's shop during the day, along with the cloth bag.

"What are all these things?" Yan Daoxin looked at the many items with some confusion. Then, seeing the runes placing the exquisite wooden boxes one by one on the table, he curiously reached out and picked one up. As soon as he opened it, he sat up straight, his voice unconsciously rising a notch, "Dragon bone bark? This is a real thing that's not easy to get!" He glanced at the other wooden boxes and found that they were all the same style, clearly bought from the same place. He immediately perked up and quickly picked up another one and opened it: "Tiger eyes and snake gall?! Oh my, the quality is excellent, truly wonderful!"
Let me see what this is... Ironvine Grass! Great!
This is... the Everlasting Tree!

"Well, this...this..."

He opened the wooden boxes one by one, his eyes shining with excitement, just like a child seeing a favorite toy.

"These are all extremely rare items! How did you manage to find them?" Yan Daoxin hadn't been this happy in a long time. He had originally planned to travel around looking for some hard-to-find medicinal herbs, but he happened to meet Lu Qing and had been following them around ever since, almost forgetting his original plan. "These things are not easy to find!"

It seems this trip to the Brahmaland was worthwhile; there are many good things in the capital.

These things must have cost a lot of money, right?

“Divine Doctor, it’s not silver,” Fu Wen shook his head at Yan Daoxin and said with a smile, “it’s a lot of gold.”

"Gold...tsk tsk tsk..." Yan Daoxin said as if he was very shocked, but judging from his expression, he was not really heartbroken for Lu Qing's money. He was just making a symbolic remark. "So, you showed it to me to show off?"

"I've given it all to you as compensation for taking up so much of your time. I've found some rare medicinal herbs that you might not even be able to find on your own, so just come with us without worry." Lu Qing said to Yan Daoxin, pointing to the cloth underneath as she spoke. "Besides, this is what I want most."

"The ancients bought the casket and returned the pearl, what are you doing? Choosing the tattered cloth over the precious medicine?" Yan Daoxin touched the tattered cloth and made a sarcastic remark. Suddenly, he felt something was amiss, bent down to sniff it, and then sprang up from his chair. "Immortal Fortress!"

"That's right, the fake fortress lord we're looking for should be based in this capital of the Brahma Kingdom, or even in the witch doctor's shop we visited today."

The treasures in that witchcraft shop are definitely more than just this; some are probably things the shopkeeper isn't allowed to sell, like Chang'e's Drunkenness.

Lu Qing nodded, looked at the piece of cloth, then took out the brass pendant from his pocket, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Yan Daoxin.

Yan Daoxin was initially puzzled, but after picking it up and taking a closer look, he frowned upon seeing the pattern on it: "Huh?! Isn't this... isn't this the one that Lu Chao drew for you back then... Bi'an... oh no, I mean the Qilin pattern!"
"That's the family crest of your Lu clan, if I remember correctly?!"

“Yes, that’s it.” Lu Qing nodded, then took the item back and put it in his pocket. “That night, someone shot this thing into our room through the window. I examined it carefully, and it should be an old object. It’s very likely that it was the one that my grandfather or father always carried with him back then.”

“Interesting…” Yan Daoxin stroked his smooth chin. “Looks like someone’s eager to tell you a story!”
