Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

"Isn't it fun? It can even blow bubbles. Goo-dong, show us how to blow bubbles..."

"Little Qiqi, could you help us get the Eternal Incense?" Seeing the topic veer off course, Zhong Li spoke up to bring it back on track.

Qi Qi looked up. "Qi Qi needs a prescription... to get the medicine... This is an imperial decree..."

“That’s easy.” Jiang Bai immediately pulled out paper and pen and wrote down the prescription: “One sprig of Immortality Incense, one sprig of Sweet Flower... one sprig of Mint…”

Jiang Bai handed her the prescription he had written on the spot, "Alright, can I get the medicine now?"

Chapter 284 The idol has a back door!

Qiqi nodded, put Gudu on her hat, and went to get the medicine from the prescription.

“Eternal Life Fragrance…Eternal Life Fragrance…” She held the prescription and skillfully used a ladder to search through the medicine cabinet. However, after searching the entire cabinet, she found all the other prescriptions that Jiang Bai had casually written down, but she just couldn’t find the Eternal Life Fragrance.

After thinking for a moment, she took the prescription and went to the backyard to find Bai Zhu.

"Mr. Bai... the immortality incense... can't be found..."

Bai Zhu was processing medicinal herbs when he heard this. He wiped his hands and picked up the prescription that Qi Qi handed him.

After watching for a while, his brows furrowed.

"Is this a prescription?"

This looks like it was just written randomly. It doesn't mention what disease it treats, the dosage of the herbs, or the method of preparation. It just mentions a few flowers.

"Brother Jiang Bai...I want the Fragrance of Immortality..."

"Oh? I'll go take a look." He put the unprocessed medicinal herbs aside, got up, and led Qiqi toward the pharmacy.

Seeing Jiang Bai and Zhong Li, he asked with a hint of curiosity, "What do you two need the incense for?"

"The Ritual of Sending Immortals is needed."

"I see." Bai Shu suddenly realized, and then made an outrageous demand, "Three million Mora, absolutely top quality."

"You're ripping me off! You're definitely ripping me off!" Jiang Bai exclaimed, his eyes wide.

I've bought so many things these past two days. When I heard that they were for use in the Immortal Ritual, the shopkeepers either gave them a discount or gave them away for free. But Bai Shu, as soon as he heard that they were for use in the Immortal Ritual, started asking for exorbitant prices!

Doctors are supposed to be kind and compassionate! This businessman is a swindler!

Bai Shu smiled and said, "I should be the only one who has the incense of immortality. If you don't want to buy it, please feel free to do so."

Zhongli rested his chin on his hand. "Three million... at first glance, it doesn't seem like much, but from a generally rational perspective, it is indeed a bit difficult to manage..."

"Forget about being rational, just tell me the price! If you don't give me a discount, I'll call the head of the hall over and have her negotiate with you."

Remembering Hu Tao's unreasonable and combative nature, Bai Shu's smile froze. "How about this, I'll give you a discount, two million nine hundred and ninety thousand Mora."

"What's the difference between three million and two million nine hundred and ninety thousand? You don't even get a 1% discount!" Jiang Bai was furious.

Zhongli continued, resting his chin on his hand, "Well, two million nine hundred and ninety thousand. At first glance, it doesn't seem like much, but from a generally rational perspective, it is indeed ten thousand less than three million."

"Mr. Zhongli, stop being so rational, try to bargain!" Jiang Bai felt extremely frustrated.

The fact that he was out with Zhongli was the most painful thing for him.

This guy who never carries cash doesn't even look at the price when he buys things, and he doesn't haggle!

If it were really worth that much, that would be one thing, but the problem is that this guy is completely overcharging!

Qi Qi tugged at Bai Shu's sleeve, looking at him with innocent eyes, "Mr. Bai, could you give me a discount..."

Bai Shu sighed helplessly, "Alright, alright, since Qi Qi has already asked, let's give her a 10% discount."

"Alright, send the bill directly to the Northern Bank, to [Young Master] D'Artagnan." Jiang Bai was too lazy to haggle anymore; it was almost dark, and he needed to get the perfume.

"Young master, didn't you want to give me a token of appreciation? Just send him the bill directly. Simple and straightforward."

The incense sticks were really just incense; they were three enormous sticks that conformed to the orthodox specifications of the ritual for sending off immortals.

Holding the incense sticks packaged in an exquisite sandalwood box, Jiang Bai strode out of Bubu Lodge.

Seeing that its master was about to leave, the forgotten Gudu quickly jumped off Qiqi's hat, bounced up on the ground with a bang, and tried to catch up with Jiang Bai.

But Jiang Bai was too tall. It jumped several times but couldn't reach Jiang Bai's shoulder. It could only stick to Jiang Bai's clothes like a lump of dough and move up little by little.

Qiqi stared blankly as the slime ran away, "The toy ran away..."

Bai Shu placed his large hand on her head and gently stroked it. "Demons are too dangerous. I'll have Chang Sheng catch you a little sparrow..."

"Tuan Que...okay..." Upon hearing Tuan Que, Qi Qi immediately forgot about the slime.

Back at Yujingtai, Zhongli inserted the incense into the incense burner and looked at the scene that had been completely arranged around him, feeling quite gratified.

Jiang Bai glanced at the sky. "It's about time to go get the perfume."

"Perfume balm, let's go get it together! I also want to see what scented perfume balms Miss Ying'er has made." Hu Tao skipped over with her hands behind her back.

The three of them arrived at Chunxiang Kiln. Ying'er leaned against the doorway, looking at them with some surprise.

"Oh dear, isn't that handsome young man here?"

"He has other things to do, so we came to get it first."

"That's a real shame. I was thinking of advising him to be careful not to get into trouble while trying to have three relationships at once..."

"Advice? Having three relationships at the same time? What?" Hu Tao didn't quite understand.

Seeing that Hu Tao still wanted to ask more questions, Jiang Bai quickly changed the subject, "Miss Ying'er was just joking, Master, please look at the perfume!"

Walnut's gaze fell on the three boxes of perfume on the table. Each of the three boxes had a different and distinct fragrance.

Ying'er introduced the three boxes of perfume in turn: "The first perfume is sweet and dreamy, and is the favorite of little girls. The second perfume is luxurious and is the favorite of rich young ladies. The third perfume has a hazy but long-lasting fragrance, like the dim light and misty clouds, and is the favorite of mature women."

Jiang Bai thought all three smelled nice. He looked at Hu Tao and asked, "Master, what scent do you like?"

“Zhongli should like the second one, which is so noble and imposing. As for me, I think the third one is quite nice, but I prefer the crisp fragrance of plum blossoms, which has a subtle and lingering scent.”

Jiang Bai silently noted down Hu Tao's favorite scent, but he felt it would be difficult to make a perfume that met Hu Tao's requirements.

There are several plum trees in the Hall of Rebirth, but the big plum tree in the Walnut Courtyard has the most refreshing fragrance and the best blooms, but he can't just pick all the flowers.

He would be beaten to death before the balm was even finished.

After paying, the group took the perfume to the Seven Gods statue, ready for Lord Rock to choose.

Jiang Bai suddenly remembered a question, "If Prince Yan chooses one of them, what should be done with the remaining two perfumes?"

“Of course, it’s for our own use,” Zhongli said matter-of-factly.

Perfume balm isn't just for applying to the body; simply placing it there will create a pleasant fragrance, making it perfect for the study, living room, and bedroom.

Such a fine perfume is rare; it shouldn't be wasted.

“Then I hope that Prince Yan will keep the third one…” Jiang Bai said what was on his mind.

Zhongli glanced at him silently.

Upon arriving at the statue, under Zhongli's guidance, Hu Tao placed a fragrant ointment on it while chanting incantations.

"Your Majesty, we have prepared three perfumes for you. Please smell them one by one and see which one you like."

After saying this, Hu Tao waited a moment, and when the statue did not react, she placed a second incense stick on it.

The second one didn't work either, but shortly after the third perfume was applied, the statue lit up.

"Huh, the Emperor actually likes sweet and dreamy scents!" Hu Tao exclaimed in surprise.

She felt that the Emperor would probably prefer the fragrance that was light and gentle, like the hazy scent of dim daylight.

"Since the statue has made its choice, you can keep this perfume, Master. You can keep it in my study."

Zhongli handed the perfume balm, which resembled a dim, misty sky, to Hu Tao, and then put the luxurious perfume balm into his own pocket.

Jiang Bai looked at the statue, then at the perfume in Hu Tao's hand, and felt as if he had gotten in through connections.

Chapter 285 What do you think about the Emperor's murder?

It was late at night when we returned to Liyue Harbor, and Jade Capital was still heavily guarded.

The Thousand Rock Army guarded the things they had bought at great expense at Yujingtai with great care.

After placing the incense paste on it, Jiang Bai noticed that there was still an empty space on the altar.

Is there one more thing we're missing?

Zhongli nodded, "Yes, we're still missing wild glass lilies."

Jiang Bai's eyes lit up. With wild glass lilies, his apprenticeship tea was finally secured!

"Go back and rest, it won't make a difference if you take a little more time."

"Uh-huh."

Jiang Bai yawned as he returned to his courtyard. As soon as he entered, he saw two powerful figures standing in the courtyard waiting for him.

"Oh, you're back so soon? Did you deliver the message?"

“We didn’t see him. Catherine told Wendy that he knows why we’re here and he’s already on his way to Liyue.” Paimon shrugged and shook his head.

"Could Wendy possibly be able to predict the future?" Jiang Bai rested his chin on his hand, feeling that Wendy's abilities were not as weak as he had shown.

"He's a god, after all. Even if he's a bit weak, he still has divine power. Maybe he overheard our conversation!" Paimon thought his guess made a lot of sense.

Jiang Bai thought of Xiao, "Speaking of which, does Xiao also have this ability? Is it a unique ability of the wind element?"

He mainly develops and uses the geo element most often. He rarely uses the wind element, since the wind has a single function and is not very practical.

No one guided him on how to use the wind element, so he knew nothing about how wind could actually be used.

"Does Xiao also have such an ability? Does it refer to the ability to hear other people talking?" Kong was still quite curious about the Great Sage Who Subdued Demons whom he had met once.

"He can hear people calling him. If you are in danger, call his name and then shout for help, and he will appear in front of you in a flash."

"Really?" Paimon was skeptical.

"If you don't believe me, then forget it." Jiang Bai had no intention of demonstrating for her. She couldn't just shout that randomly; what if Xiao didn't show up when things got really dangerous?

"Hehe, if the street performers could hear me..." Paimon chuckled, then clasped his hands together and loudly proclaimed his thoughts:

"I wish that when he arrives in Liyue Harbor tomorrow, he'll bring me a plate of stir-fried carrots and pork with honey sauce!"

In the air, Wendy lay comfortably on Dwarin's back.

A gust of wind blew past his ear, but he completely ignored it.

The back of Tvalin was quite comfortable, so comfortable that he wanted to take a nap.

"At this speed, we should be able to reach Liyue Harbor by tomorrow morning." He rolled over comfortably. "It feels so good not having to travel on my own."

Upon hearing this, Tvalin wanted to throw the good-for-nothing, drunken poet off his back.

He thought Wendy had called him for something important, but it turned out she was just too lazy to use her divine power to travel.

He let out a dragon's roar, did a backflip in the air, swooped down and then climbed up at high speed, spiraling forward 360 degrees. After doing this several times, the poet on his back finally felt like vomiting.

Wendy, supporting herself on the dragon's back, struggled to keep herself from vomiting the good wine she had drunk.

"Dvalin, I was just asking you to hurry on your way, you don't have to retaliate like this..."

"Humph!"

His response was just another high-speed dive.

......

The moon was shrouded in clouds, and several immortals gathered on the roof of Wangshu Inn.

"Everyone's here, right?" True Monarch Xiaoyue Zhuyang looked around.

Liuyun, Zhishui, and the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons.
