"The climate here in Qiaobui is special, and many plants that are difficult to see elsewhere grow. Therefore... we at Shuangqi have been paying close attention to this place," Li Muyuan said while looking through the documents scattered on the ground, "It's just... because...
After all, this is Qiqiao's territory, and Qiqiao has a common relationship with us (to put it mildly), so even if we are interested, we dare not get too involved here, lest it cause unnecessary disputes."
Li Muyuan looked at the two of them. Luo Jiutian and the Taoist Master listened patiently and nodded to him, indicating that they could understand.
"Later, I don't know who found a path to buy Qiabu plants," Li Muyuan continued, "And we heard that the source of that path was the so-called First Hospital here in Qiamo... I always thought this hospital was
The name was made up, but I didn’t expect it to be true.”
"Since people here have ways to contact you, does that mean that... this hospital also has some connection with the Nine Sects?" Luo Jiutian asked.
"It's very possible," the Taoist priest agreed, "but Mu Yuan, this transaction doesn't sound like an illegal transaction."
"If you are simply selling bridge plants to Shuangqin, then of course there is nothing to say," Li Muyuan said, "The problem is... they often breach the contract, I don't know if you can understand..."
Violation...Breach of contract...
Is this hospital labeled as an "illegal transaction" just because of running orders?
Seeing that the two of them really didn't understand, Li Muyuan bit his lip and thought for a long time before he raised his index finger and came up with a specific example.
"Well, let me tell you something," Li Muyuan leaned on his desk and told a story, "Qiaobu here is rich in a kind of algae called Silk Algae. This Silk Algae is quite famous. Jiutian should
I’ve also heard of it…”
"I've heard of it," Luo Jiutian said cooperatively, "It seems to be a plant that has miraculous effects on stopping bleeding and nourishing the body."
Li Muyuan nodded, "You are right, but for most people, this silkworm algae is just an excellent hemostatic medicine. However, for Jiu Tan, this silkworm algae has some other benefits."
usefulness……"
Why did Jiu Tan’s name suddenly come out?
Luo Jiutian and Taoist Master did not expect the direction of the topic, and they became curious.
"What does it have to do with Jiu Tan?" Luo Jiutian's pupils trembled twice and he asked with concern.
"You also know that Jiu Tan practices spiritual transformation and pays attention to the exploration of life outside the body," Li Muyuan said. "Therefore, the silk algae can also play a role in consolidating spiritual energy for Jiu Tan."
The two of them suddenly realized.
"I see..." The Taoist Master thought about it briefly and said, "Then Jiu Tan suffered a disaster some time ago, so he must have used up a lot of silk algae, right?"
"That's exactly what I want to say," Li Muyuan glared and slapped his thigh, "Just when we were in urgent need of a large amount of silk algae to build foundations for the ninth casualty inspector, the silk algae that had disappeared from the bridge suddenly broke off.
It’s in stock!”
"Uh-huh..." Luo Jiutian became nervous when he heard this, "What's the reason for the shortage? Didn't you contact them?"
"Of course we tried our best to contact them, but those days, the people on the other side of the bridge seemed to have disappeared, and they couldn't be contacted anyway," Li Muyuan said. "In the end, it was our people who bought and collected silk from other areas at high prices regardless of the cost.
The algae can barely support the use of the Ninth Inspector... But of course, part of the reason is... there are not too many injured people who survived the Ninth Inspector, after all, most of them are..."
"That's really weird," Luo Jiutian became dissatisfied, "Did you contact them afterwards?"
"It took a long time before we got in touch again," Li Muyuan said. "They just said that the business was busy and the supply of goods was not enough, so they pushed us away... just like they did several times before."
"How many times before?" the Taoist priest asked, "Has this kind of thing happened before?"
Li Muyuan nodded again, "It happened. It's just that the medicinal materials we lacked in the past were not as significant as the silkworm algae to Jiutan, so we just complained a little, but we didn't try to connect several things together. Now
It seems... the people on the other side of the bridge always like to cut off our supply when we are in urgent need of certain plants."
"They may be monitoring the movements of the Nine Sects!" Luo Jiutian said excitedly.
"But what is their purpose of doing this?" The Taoist priest is very sensible. "They want to blackmail Shuangqian and then the nine sects by cutting off the supply of medicines? Have they achieved their goal?"
"Of course it's impossible," Li Muyuan shrugged. "First of all, we usually stock a lot of inventory in our internal warehouse in Shuanglu. If there are medicinal materials that cannot be stocked, we will also explore multiple purchasing channels and will never be blocked by one purchasing channel.
Damn it, for those medicinal materials that are only available in Qiaomo, we will also look for substitutes with the same effectiveness, so... threatening the nine sects? It is simply too naive."
"That's it," the Taoist priest said, "Then they must have other motives for doing this."
What will it be?
"Is that true?" Luo Jiutian whispered another possibility, "This bridge does not have the First Hospital, so it is possible that he is not lying."
Taoist priest and Li Muyuan looked at him.
"you mean……"
"They said that their business was busy and their supply of goods was insufficient. Maybe they were not lying," Luo Jiutian said more and more, the more he felt that his hypothesis was true, and he became more confident in speaking, "It's because they happen to be just like us.
, at those times, those medicinal materials are also needed.”
The two gradually understood each other.
Qiaomo No. 1 Hospital, in addition to supplying medicinal materials to Shuangqin, also has other connections with the Nine Sects.
It is even said that it may be directly affiliated with the Nine Sects!

Xiaolan looked at the last paper moth flying towards her and blinked her eyes innocently.
Paper moths are like flowing feathers, swaying and dancing in the faint light.
Xiaolan seemed to be able to hear the sound of its wings flapping.
Feeling the wind brought by those little wings...
The last paper moth landed right on the tip of Xiaolan's nose.
"Xiaolan..."
Xiaolan heard Yi Yao's call, but before Xiaolan could react, the call suddenly became louder.
"Xiaolan!" Yi Yao shouted in horror, "You are floating!"
I...ah?
Xiaolan quickly looked down at her feet.
Oh my god!
His feet have already left the ground, floating gently in the air like the fluttering moths not long ago.
I did feel a little ecstatic just now, but that feeling was on a psychological level, not...
"Uncle Yi!" Xiaolan immediately struggled and stretched out his hand, "Hurry and grab me!"
