With Yao Yeran's words falling, the disciple's face couldn't help but show a troubled expression.
"Senior Yao, the medicinal herbs for today have already been sold out. You'll have to wait until tomorrow to get them. We simply don't have any left for today," the disciple said.
There were certain regulations for obtaining medicinal herbs in the Infinite Palace, and the quantity of herbs available for sale was beyond his control. He sold the herbs here to earn some points, but he couldn't fulfill every request.
Upon hearing this, Yao Yeran's face darkened. Since he had already promised the other person, he couldn't afford to break his word. If he couldn't even handle such a small matter, it would be a disgrace to his reputation.
As for buying the Qi-boosting pills himself, that was out of the question. Earning points was not an easy task, and he needed to save up the points to exchange for better alchemy furnaces.
"Who was the person you mentioned who bought all the Qi-boosting pills?" Yao Yeran asked.
The other party was clearly unaware of the rules. Buying three hundred portions of medicinal herbs in one go would cause problems for other alchemists. Moreover, buying such a large quantity of herbs for Qi-boosting pills seemed excessive.
"It was a lady named Baili," the disciple replied.
"I see," Yao Yeran narrowed his eyes. The other party's disregard for the rules needed to be addressed. He wanted to make sure they understood the consequences.
Seeing Yao Yeran's expression, the disciple knew the situation was not good. However, when he tried to say something, Yao Yeran waved his hand, showing his impatience. He didn't care about what the disciple had to say.
In the alchemy hall, Yao Yeran held a high position, and even skilled alchemists had to give him some face, let alone someone who was still practicing with Qi-boosting pills.
The disciple looked at Yao Yeran's departing figure with helplessness. He had intended to remind Yao Yeran about Baili Hongzhuang's identity. Although she was no longer a practitioner of the Infinite Palace, she was still someone they couldn't afford to offend. However, the situation was already beyond his control.
The practitioners in the alchemy hall were unaware of the conversation between Yao Yeran and the disciple in the medicinal herb area. They only saw Yao Yeran leaving with an imposing manner, their eyes filled with curiosity.
After leaving the alchemy hall, Baili Hongzhuang and Di Beichen walked toward their residence. They had no interest in exploring other places in the Infinite Palace.
However, at that moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind them.
"Hey, wait a moment!"
Yao Yeran didn't remember what the disciple in the medicinal herb area had said, so he had no knowledge of the woman's name before him. In fact, he didn't bother to remember.
Hearing the "hey" from behind, both Baili Hongzhuang and Di Beichen frowned.
Could it be... they were calling them?
Without any exchange of words, Baili Hongzhuang and Di Beichen, in perfect harmony, ignored the voice and continued walking forward.
Upon seeing Baili Hongzhuang and Di Beichen completely ignoring him, Yao Yeran's expression turned even uglier.
"I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?" Yao Yeran strode forward, catching up to Baili Hongzhuang and Di Beichen, standing in front of them.
Baili Hongzhuang looked at the man in front of her with a hint of confusion in her eyes. In her memory, she had never seen this man before, so there was no question of offending him.
However, she couldn't help but wonder why this man suddenly came to trouble her.
