Go and capture those thirty-six fierce villains.

Wang Yuan clearly understood what her brother was thinking. While trying to persuade him, she took out another pair of chopsticks from the food box.

"You know nothing! There are four of us brothers. It's enough that you and the eldest brother carry on the Wang family line. If my second brother and I have the chance to go out and make our way in the world, we might just make a fortune... This young Master Qin is not like the timid cicada from before. He's too young and definitely won't be content to retire here..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Ning appeared silently at the door, exclaiming, "Wow, the food smells delicious."

"grown ups!"

"Lord Qin!"

The two, one flat and one round, quickly stood up and bowed, their expressions quite different.

"Sit down, we're all colleagues, and it's time to go home after work, there's no need for that."

Qin Ning walked in with a smile, calmed the two down, and glanced at the food on the table.

Fried eggs with duck fat, vegetarian vegetables, and a plate of large pieces of meat.

The dishes were simple and home-style, but they smelled delicious. However, because they had been sitting in the food container for a long time, their colors looked a bit dull.

"It's just simple food, sir. If you don't mind, I have a bowl, chopsticks, and rice in this food box." Wang Bian said politely, and took out a bowl of rice and new bamboo chopsticks from the food box.

I don't know if it was because of my large appetite or because I was prepared in advance.

"Don't mind, I came in a hurry today. I'll let you taste my cooking in a few days." Qin Ning took the bowl and chopsticks, and then quietly stopped the little black cat that wanted to add more food.

He finished his meal in less than fifteen minutes, left with a faint smile, and said that he had other things to do in the afternoon.

We'll leave this place to the two of you and Huang Mu for now.

After waiting for Qin Ning to leave for several dozen breaths, Wang Bian walked to the door, peeked out, and then returned to report:

"Did you hear what I just said, young Master Qin?"

......

It seems these quadruplets aren't all content to just laze around at the base. That makes sense; they're all around thirty years old, so it's normal for them to have ambitions.

As Qin Ning walked along the road, he pondered that if he wanted to rise to prominence within the Sichen Guard, he needed to have his own core group.

Huang Mu alone is too weak. I wonder if the four Wang brothers can be of use to me.

Upon arriving at the agreed location, Feng Hanying was already waiting there.

Today she changed into a cherry-colored dress, with a delicate silver hairpin in the back of her hair. Her lightly made-up eyebrows and eyes were captivating, and many passersby couldn't help but turn their heads to look at her.

As a result, many men's ears were harmed by their female companions.

Upon seeing Qin Ning, Feng Hanying's usually tense face broke into a smile, drawing gasps from countless passersby.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little late."

"It's alright, I just arrived too." Feng Hanying didn't seem to care about Qin Ning's lateness at all, her rosy lips moving as she spoke:

"Should we just go buy the pills?"

"No rush, let's go eat first."

The little bit of food Qin Ning had just eaten wasn't even enough to fill a gap in her teeth, let alone the little black cat, who hadn't eaten yet.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

"Let's go then, to Bazhenlou."

The two walked side by side down the long street, attracting the attention of countless men and women along the way.

What is the value of the "Melting Gold and Condensing Qi Pill"?

After sitting down by the window on the third floor, Qin Ning ordered the food, her gaze casually sweeping over several tables and chairs, and asked a question casually.

"What, do you want to return the favor to my teacher?" Feng Hanying joked.

"I really hadn't thought of that yet..." Using tea to cover his embarrassment, Qin Ning said, "A lower price is fine, but if it's too expensive, I can't afford it."

Feng Hanying covered her mouth and chuckled: "With your current wealth, that's enough. The Gold-Melting Qi-Condensing Pill is priced at 800 taels per pill, and the cost price is close to 400 taels. Currently, in the entire Bei'an City, only my teacher can refine it."

So expensive... Qin Ning had expected that such a highly effective pill would be precious, but the price still gave him a slight shock.

"I can certainly afford to go bankrupt. By the way, can the miscellaneous cultivation path also refine pills? I didn't see any description of this in the Prince's library before."

He asked the question that had been lingering in his heart for a long time.

"The fifth rank of the Miscellaneous School is the Alchemist. In the skill of turning medicine into pills, they are comparable to the fifth rank of the Physician in your medical path. Moreover, perhaps because our knowledge is quite diverse and we can manipulate the five elements, the alchemy level of Miscellaneous School Alchemists is generally stronger than that of Physicians of the same fifth rank."

Feng Hanying explained softly.

It really is a combination of the strengths of various schools... They didn't bring up anything about the road being blocked, and after the food was served, the two ate and chatted.

Feng Hanying asked Qin Ning why he suddenly wanted to buy a large quantity of pills. He only said that it was to improve his medical skills and lay the foundation for his advancement to the rank of Saintly Physician and Huangqi.

Meanwhile, Qin Ning kept an eye on those specific seats during the conversation. Surprisingly, he was lucky enough to bump into someone sitting in a specific seat at a specific location and ordering a specific dish.

The other person looked ordinary, dressed in a scholar's robe, but had calluses on his hands from holding weapons for a long time.

This is a flaw, but if no one pays attention and works backward from the result to deduce the cause, such a small flaw probably won't attract attention.

It seems that Huang Mu's method of rendezvous is indeed true, but we still need to observe it further.

After a satisfying meal, the two went downstairs to pay the bill and leave.

After leaving the Eight Treasures Pavilion, they headed west and, led by Feng Hanying, arrived at a square, three-story building facing the street.

The building is entirely black and gold in color. Two Pixiu made of black stone sit in front of the eight-open door. Perhaps because it was not yet noon, there were not many customers coming and going. The few who did come were either holding inkstones or holding jade bottles and brocade boxes containing elixirs.

Qin Ning looked up and saw four large, elegantly gilded characters on the black plaque: "Feiyun Trading Company".

"This is one of the properties of the Prince Su's mansion, mainly dealing in ink artifacts and elixirs, and also selling a small number of Yin-Yang School magical artifacts. With my waist token and my master's supply of elixirs, I can get a 20% discount on things here. If you buy in large quantities, it should be even cheaper."

Feng Hanying stepped across the threshold. The innkeeper inside clearly recognized her and immediately greeted her warmly, ordering someone to make tea and pour water.

Qin Ning had no specific target in mind when purchasing pills. After some discussion and inspection, he spent a full 540 taels to buy more than a dozen different kinds of pills, intending to try them one by one with [Greed] when he got back to see which one was the best value for money and suitable for quickly improving his physical fitness.

After paying the bill, Qin Ning pondered for a moment: "Shopkeeper, do you have any Gold-Melting Qi-Condensing Pills in stock?"

Upon hearing this, the old shopkeeper, who had always maintained his professional enthusiasm, immediately smiled more sincerely, for that was a pill priced at 800 taels.

Even with a 20% discount, it would still be more expensive than all the pills mentioned earlier combined, and these high-grade pills are actually not easy to sell.

Those with the financial means naturally have the channels to purchase such pills and do not need to come to their Feiyun Trading Company; those without the channels often do not have enough financial resources.

"Yes, yes, I'll go and get one for you right away, sir," the old shopkeeper said, before heading to the back room himself.

"Wait a minute." Qin Ning called out to the other person, silently estimating the amount of silver he had left, and said in a deep voice, "If you have enough, please get me six coins."

Silver is an inanimate object; it's much more meaningful to transform it into realms of understanding and strength.
