Chapter 26: Chapter 26 Where did the inventory come from?
Su Yu slightly lowered her gaze, a shy blush spreading across her cheeks, “I just stumbled upon it while cutting wood in the mountains.”
“That’s wonderful!”
Director Liu’s face lit up with joy, “I will take them all! It’s just that…”
Before he could finish his sentence, his expression suddenly became embarrassed and difficult.
Su Yu’s heart tightened—could he be about to ask for credit? She tried to remain calm and pressed, “What’s the matter, Director Liu? Please, speak freely.”
Director Liu’s eyes were fixed on the largest Lingzhi, as he reluctantly admitted, “Miss, a Lingzhi of such impressive size and outstanding quality is truly rare and its value immeasurable. Although I am very willing to purchase all of them, at this moment, I am truly unable to gather enough silver.”
Upon hearing Director Liu’s frank words, Su Yu’s respect for him grew even more.
She smiled slightly, with a smile as refreshing as a spring breeze, carrying a sense of openness and trust, she responded, “It’s alright, take as much as you can afford, and as for this larger herb, I will handle it properly myself.”
In between her words, her eyes twinkled with determination, revealing an independent and self-reliant feminine charm.
Director Liu was moved by Su Yu’s grace and without hesitation, he took out twenty-five silver taels from the cabinet and handed them to Su Yu.
The gleaming currency reflected the integrity of his promise to Su Yu and his recognition of her discovery of the rare herbs.
He spoke with exuberant warmth, “Miss, if you find more treasures like this in the future, just come and sell them to me anytime. You are always welcome here.”
Not only that, but Director Liu also thoughtfully suggested, “If you take these precious herbs to sell in the city, where many wealthy merchants and magnates gather, you will surely get a very satisfying price.”

His words were filled with hope for Su Yu’s future profits as if he had already envisioned her returning home with a full load.
Su Yu was deeply grateful for Director Liu’s kindness, she bowed slightly with a gentle “Thank you” to express the gratitude in her heart.
Just as she was about to turn and leave, as if suddenly remembering something important, she stopped in her tracks.
Seeing this, Director Liu immediately sensed something was amiss and looked at her with concern, asking, “Miss, is there anything else I can assist you with?”
After a moment of reflection, Su Yu made a new request: “Could I trouble you to prepare some herbs for me?”
Though her voice was soft, the determination in her tone was unmistakable.
After hearing her request, a joyful smile immediately spread across Director Liu’s face, and he agreed without hesitation, “Of course, but before preparing the medicine, may I take your pulse to diagnose and better understand your condition for a more accurate prescription?”
However, Su Yu declined his offer gracefully, calmly explaining, “That won’t be necessary, just prepare the medicine as I instruct.”
Director Liu was momentarily surprised by her decision, clearly not expecting it.
After a brief moment to adjust his emotions, he smiled and replied, “Alright, I will do everything just as you ask.”
Director Liu quickly took up paper and pen, ready to note down the herbs Su Yu required.
Su Yu then listed the names and quantities of herbs needed, her voice clear and orderly: “Eight taels of peach kernel, one jin of gardenia, three jin of Platycladus, one jin of fresh earth, half a jin of red flower, two jin of Guiwei, three jin of Rhubarb, two jin of Musk, eight taels of coptis, one jin each of cork tree bark and Scutellaria, three jin of Diploclisia, two jin of Mint, one jin of peony bark, two jin each of honeysuckle vine and bone-penetrating grass, one jin each of licorice, radix notoginseng, and dandelion, eight taels of golden orchid, two jin of Chicken Bone, and one jin each of red peony, natural copper, and Earthworm.”
Director Liu, while carefully recording, was also silently pondering the prescription in his mind.
After Su Yu finished speaking, he couldn’t help but admire her in secret: Not only did the girl understand medical principles, but she had also listed an excellent prescription for treating sprains and bruises.
The precision of her choice of herbs and the appropriateness of the dosages were even better than his own usual concoctions.
Just as he was about to praise her openly, Su Yu added, “Additionally, I still need another medicinal ingredient. I wonder if Director Liu might have it here?”
Director Liu asked with interest, “Oh? What kind of medicinal ingredient does the young lady still need?”
At this moment, his curiosity about the medical expertise of the mysterious girl before him grew even stronger.
“Dragon Roar.”
Su Yu parted her vermilion lips lightly and whispered these three words, her voice low like a mosquito’s hum, yet each word crystal clear.
Director Liu, upon hearing this, felt an even greater sense of admiration.
He knew that Dragon Roar was an extremely rare and peculiar herb; those who knew of and sought it must possess profound medical knowledge.
Director Liu patiently explained to Su Yu, “The legendary Dragon Roar is a plant of a greyish-white color, commonly coexisting with closed tongue grass, and there is a subtle interdependent and inhibitive relationship between the two. Closed tongue grass may render one immune to all poisons, yet it is the sole cause of loss of speech; whereas Dragon Roar, despite having no special effects in other aspects, can specifically cure the mute poison caused by closed tongue grass. Is this the very thing the young lady is looking for?”
After listening, Su Yu’s eyes shimmered with anticipation, and she nodded eagerly, “Yes, that’s it! I wonder if Director Liu has it in stock?”
Her tone was filled with longing, as if finding Dragon Roar was her most important mission at the moment.
Seeing this, Director Liu couldn’t help but give a wry smile and shake his head, half-jokingly saying, “Alas, young lady, you flatter me too much. Dragon Roar is only a miraculous medicine I have heard of; I’ve never even seen it, let alone have it in stock.”
Even though his reply carried a hint of regret, it was filled more with admiration and appreciation for Su Yu’s medical knowledge and insight.
Su Yu listened quietly, a barely noticeable trace of disappointment flickering through her deep eyes.
Despite having anticipated the difficulty in finding Dragon Roar, she still couldn’t help but feel a faint sense of melancholy.
It was a helplessness towards the unknown, a sigh for the faint hope, yet it also contained a kind of resilience and perseverance.
The attendant arranged Su Yu’s required herbs with swift and deft movements, soon stacking them neatly in her basket to the brim, filling almost every corner. In an instant, the rich aroma of herbs unfolded around her, as if she were enveloped in a vibrant world of medicinal plants.
She bent her head slightly, examining the variously shaped, richly colored herbs, a wave of awe and admiration for nature’s miraculous powers welling up within her.
After inquiring about the price, Su Yu calmly handed over the silver taels, and the attendant carefully counted them before returning some jingling copper coins to her.
She received the copper coins and gently placed them in the money pouch at her waist, her movements light and graceful, as if she were performing a solemn ritual.
Originally intending to leave without getting too involved in the affairs of others, Su Yu, looking at the amiable and respectable Doctor Su before her, suddenly felt an impulse to help him.
She took a deep breath, decided to lend a hand, and provided a few well-intentioned reminders.
