Chapter 50: The Strong One From the Imperial Capital

"Sir, I will ask someone to make a VIP pass for you right away. May I ask your surname?" The steward asked after leading Su Chen into Wubaotang.

"My surname is Su." Su Chen looked indifferent, but Wubaotang's attitude was within his expectations.

If Wubaotang didn't even have this much shrewdness, then there would be no need to do business.

"Sir, are you here to buy anything today?" the steward asked.

Su Chen nodded, took out a list and threw it to the steward: "Give me one of each of the medicinal herbs on it."

The steward took the list, took a closer look, and said: "Sir, we have all the medicinal herbs on it in Wubaotang, but..."

"What?"

"But there is a snake blood ginseng in it, and I can't decide that. We only have one in our store, and it is the treasure of the store." The steward looked embarrassed. Snake blood ginseng is much more precious than the hundred-year-old Zhiyang grass, and it must be sold with the approval of the person in charge.

"Take me to see the person in charge." Su Chen said directly without any nonsense.

The steward took Su Chen to the door of a room on the third floor of Wanbao Hall, knocked on the door, and said: "Shopkeeper Min, there is a distinguished guest who wants to buy snake blood ginseng!"

"Come in!" said the person inside the house.

Su Chen pushed the door open and entered the room, only to see two people sitting face to face in the room.

One of them was an old man with gray hair and beard, and the other was a middle-aged man in a purple robe with bright eyes.

"Shopkeeper Min, this is our guest, Mr. Su, from Wubao Hall, and he wants to buy snake blood ginseng."

The steward said to the gray-haired old man, and it was obvious that this old man was the person in charge of Wubao Hall, Shopkeeper Min.

After hearing what the steward said, Shopkeeper Min stroked his white beard, looked at Su Chen, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and said with a smile: "I don't know Mr. Su very well, I wonder which Mr. Su you are?"

The steward hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper Min, he is the Mr. Su who cured the bite of the cold heart python that day!"

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Min's eyes showed a little surprise, and he hurriedly stood up and bowed, saying: "So it's that Mr. Su, I'm sorry."

"Hello, Shopkeeper Min." Su Chen also bowed and said, "I I want to buy a snake blood ginseng. I wonder if Shopkeeper Min is willing to give it up?"

"Since it is Mr. Su who wants to buy it, there is nothing wrong with it!"

Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Min ordered the steward, "Go and get the snake blood ginseng locked in the warehouse!"

The steward responded and was about to turn around and leave when suddenly a cold voice sounded: "Wait!"

Shopkeeper Min was stunned, but he looked at the purple-robed middle-aged man opposite him in confusion and asked: "Envoy, is there any problem?"

The purple-robed middle-aged man called the Envoy The middle-aged man in a robe, with a gloomy temperament, looked at Su Chen with disdain and said, "Snake Blood Ginseng is the treasure of the Five Treasures Hall in Qinghe City. How can such a precious thing be sold to a kid casually?"

Shopkeeper Min hurriedly said, "Messenger Feng doesn't know that Master Su is not an ordinary boy, but an alchemist with high attainments. Last time someone was bitten by the Frost Heart Python and came to the Five Treasures Hall to buy medicine, it was Master Su who cured him."

The messenger was not moved at all when he heard this, and said disdainfully: "Alchemist? How can you tell if he is a real alchemist just based on one incident? Maybe he is just lying!"

Then the messenger looked at Su Chen with contempt, and said, "You are an alchemist, do you have any evidence? Take out the alchemist badge certified by the Alchemy Guild, otherwise, not only will I not sell you the snake blood ginseng, but I will also punish you for deceiving Wubaotang and beat you out of Wubaotang."

After that, a powerful pressure from a Condensation Realm warrior was slowly released from his body, covering the entire room.

If Su Chen was an ordinary Qi Yin Realm warrior, or even an ordinary first-level Condensation Realm warrior, he would definitely be scared by this pressure.

However, Su Chen stood straight in place, calm and composed, as if the pressure did not exist at all. He looked at the other party with a trace of contempt, and said, "Who are you? I am doing business with Wubaotang, do you have the right to intervene?"

"How dare you!"

The envoy was furious, and slammed the table suddenly. The muscles on his face trembled a few times, and he said angrily, "This envoy is an inspector sent by Wubaotang headquarters. I just arrived in your Qinghe City today. Do you think this envoy is qualified?"

Shopkeeper Min also hurriedly said, "Mr. Su, this is an envoy from Wubaotang headquarters in the imperial capital. You must not be rude to him."

Wubaotang is not only in Qinghe City, but there is a Wubaotang in every city in Yunyuan Empire, and its headquarters is located in the imperial capital. It is full of strong people and is also a major force in the imperial capital.

Su Chen knew all this, but he was not afraid at all. He sneered, "I don't care if you are a crazy or insane messenger. Since you have opened a shop to do business, and I brought money here, is there any reason for you to not do business and beat the financier away? Looking around the world, there is no such reason, right?" Shopkeeper Min was stunned and speechless. In fact, if it were any other time, Su Chen would not encounter any obstacles in buying the snake blood ginseng. Shopkeeper Min would definitely sell the snake blood ginseng to Su Chen because he was an alchemist.

Moreover, Su Chen's alchemy attainments had already been proven in Wubao Hall, so Shopkeeper Min would not ask him for the Alchemy Guild's certified alchemist badge.

But today was different. The envoy suddenly intervened halfway. Shopkeeper Min was just the shopkeeper of a branch hall in Qinghe City, so he naturally could not disobey the envoy's wishes.

"Mr. Su, I'm sorry." Shopkeeper Min could only say this.

However, Shopkeeper Min was also a little confused in his heart. Why did this envoy want to make things difficult for Su Chen? Logically speaking, the two of them were strangers, so there should be no feud.

Envoy Feng spoke again, disdainfully saying to Su Chen: "Well, since you can't produce the Alchemist Badge certified by the Alchemy Guild, you can get out!"

As he said that, Envoy Feng ordered the manager again: "Go to the warehouse and get the snake blood ginseng, wrap it up, this envoy wants it!"

Shopkeeper Min suddenly realized that Envoy Feng also needed snake blood ginseng, so he deliberately prevented Su Chen from buying the snake blood ginseng so that he could buy it himself.

Although it was somewhat inconsistent with the regulations of Wubaotang, who made the other party an envoy from the Imperial Capital Headquarters? Who dared to say no when he spoke?

At that moment, Shopkeeper Min had no choice but to say to the manager: "Go get the snake blood ginseng."

At this moment, a cold voice came from behind: "How much money he paid for the snake blood ginseng, I will pay double the price!"

It was Su Chen who said coldly behind him!

"Bold!" Envoy Feng was furious, "Who do you think you are? How dare you challenge this envoy face to face!"
