Systemless Villain-Chapter 238 A Villain’s Action

Long Tian and Guan Ji stood not far in front of a store labeled "Legendary Herbal Medicine Store."

A smirk playing on Long Tian's lips, clearly expecting that it wasn't a large store, which made him confident that this place held something beneficial for Lin Fan.

"Let's see what this store has to offer," he said with a smirk.

He then glanced at Guan Ji, "Wait here; I'll go in alone," he instructed.

"Understood, young master," Guan Ji acknowledged with a nod.

Long Tian entered the store, causing the door to chime, capturing the attention of the store's attendant, Lu Bo, who promptly directed his gaze towards the newcomer.

"Ohh, welcome! Is there anything I can assist you with?" he inquired, his tone welcoming, accompanied by a subtle smile.

Long Tian reciprocated with a slight smile as he approached. His gaze swept across the surroundings, taking note of numerous plants, bottles showcasing liquids of various hues, and other intriguing items.

After a brief moment, he refocused on Lu Bo, "Good evening, Mr.?" he asked. f(r)eewebn(o)vel.com

"My name is Lu Bo," came the response.

"Alright, Mr. Lu Bo, I'd like to inquire about a few things, may I?" Long Tian sought confirmation.

"Of course, go ahead," Lu Bo replied.

Long Tian paused briefly, holding a small bottle containing a dark green seed.

"What if you take me on a leisurely stroll while we explore the herbal plants in this establishment?" he proposed.

Lu Bo pondered for a moment before agreeing, "Okay, but there will be an additional fee."

Long Tian smiled, "No problem," he affirmed. free(w)ebnovel.com

Lu Bo nodded, and with that, he left his cash register and joined Long Tian in navigating the shelves that housed a diverse array of herbal plants.

From the exterior, the store appeared somewhat petite, but upon entry, it revealed itself to be spacious enough to accommodate dozens of neatly organized shelves, each towering about 2 meters high.

Long Tian and Lu Bo ambled along the meticulously arranged shelves, with Long Tian scrutinizing each herbal remedy. All of them appeared familiar, undoubtedly retrieved from Lei Guang's memories.

In this moment, he halted beside a petite green plant stem, his expression reflecting intrigue, "Ohh, this is the Green Essence Herb, a rare plant often employed to enhance vitality and physical strength. I recall its extract being utilized in wound healing and boosting immunity," Long Tian elucidated, his tone resonating with confidence.

Lu Bo maintained silence, contemplatively stroking his chin. What Long Tian conveyed was indeed accurate.

Long Tian's gaze then shifted to another herbal medicine next to it, enclosed in a glass box, a cluster of beautiful pink flowers, "Heavenly Blossom, I didn't expect you to have this, Mr. Lu Bo. Not only is this flower beautiful, but it also possesses remarkable healing properties. Its extract is often used in healing potions and beauty elixirs. And it's only found at the mountain's peak," he expounded once again.

Lu Bo still remained silent, confirming once more that what Long Tian said was accurate.

The two seamlessly continued their perusal around the immaculately arranged shelves, with Long Tian providing insights into the herbal components he encountered. Lu Bo responded with affirmative nods, occasionally acknowledging the accuracy of the information.

As the clock ticked away, Long Tian and Lu Bo persisted in their leisurely exploration among the shelves of herbal plants.

At this juncture, Lu Bo walked and came to a halt right in front of Long Tian. "Alright, I think that's sufficient. We've strolled around here enough, and all I've been doing is silently absorbing your explanations about various herbal plants. If your intention was to impress someone, you've succeeded. Honestly, it's uncommon to encounter a young individual well-versed in so many herbal plants, and your explanations are articulate. Now, is there anything else I can assist you with?" he inquired.

Long Tian smiled, "I apologize if I've taken up your time, Mr. Lu Bo. My visit was a little test of my herbal plant knowledge, and I believe it's still sharp."

Lu Bo nodded, "Okay, that's understandable. I'm quite pleased to see a young person eager to learn about herbal plants. Many people underestimate this field, but they don't realize the potential of someone who truly masters it," he remarked.

"Yeah, I'm quite fortunate to get into this field, and I'm becoming more eager to delve deeper to become as great as you, Mr. Lu Bo," Long Tian praised with a genuine smile.

Lu Bo chuckled while shaking his head, "I still have much to learn. Besides, how did you even learn about me? I don't think many people know me in this town, and I don't have much popularity," he mentioned.

"Well, sometimes a true master is a humble and hidden person. Moreover, I know about you because of my brother. He said he came here this afternoon and successfully made a potion with your assistance. I believe that alone shows that you are a master," Long Tian responded.

Lu Bo rubbed his chin, "Your brother? Are you referring to Lin Fan?" he inquired.

"Yes, that's him. He returned home with a potion claiming it could cure our uncle's illness, but he didn't disclose the potion's details to me. The purpose of my visit here is, naturally, to inquire about it, whether it's safe or not," Long Tian explained.

"Ohh, about that, you don't need to worry. Your brother unexpectedly has a talent for alchemy. He mentioned it was his first time attempting alchemy, and he successfully created that potion. I can vouch for its efficacy," Lu Bo responded persuasively.

Long Tian rubbed his chin, but inwardly, he grinned with satisfaction. It was becoming apparent that Lu Bo had fallen into his trap.

"Alright, this time to test you, Mr. Lu Bo, what is the potion for? What disease does it cure?" he inquired.

"It's a blockage disease in the dantian, a rare and hard-to-detect ailment," Lu Bo responded confidently.

Long Tian nodded, but inwardly his grin widened even more. Now, he knew the ailment Jun Li suffered from after Lin Fan had kept it from him.

"I see, that's indeed correct. Our uncle has been enduring a blocked dantian for years, and no potion or medicine has managed to cure him. But Mr. Lu Bo, are you certain the potion Lin Fan made is effective?" Long Tian asked, his eyebrows raised in curiosity.

"I'm sure, 100%. I've been involved in the field of herbal medicine and healing, and the potion made by Lin Fan is highly effective. It might even directly cure your uncle's disease," Lu Bo responded earnestly.

Long Tian couldn't help but be rendered speechless. The protagonist's abilities were truly beyond reason, succeeding in alchemy for the first time and creating an effective potion. Such talent was indeed a thick plot armor.

"Alright, one last question to confirm. What is the color of the potion, and what should my uncle avoid consuming with that ailment?" he asked.

"Well, what your uncle should avoid the most is anything related to the Rowa plant. I strongly recommend keeping him away from that plant because it poses a high risk to him. As for the potion, its color is a raw green, similar to a tennis ball," Lu Bo responded.

Hearing this, Long Tian nodded in understanding. But inside, he grinned broadly, thoroughly satisfied.

'Now, you've not only provided information about Jun Li's illness and Lin Fan's alchemical talent but also unveiled Jun Li's vulnerability,' he mused wickedly.

A genuine smile graced his face, "Mr. Lu Bo, I don't know what else to say; I'm truly grateful to you," he expressed sincerely.

Lu Bo also smiled, "It's okay; I hope your uncle recovers quickly," he said.

Long Tian nodded, then reached into his pocket and retrieved a white paper, handing it to Lu Bo.

Accepting it, Lu Bo examined the paper, revealing a check for 300,000 Yuan. His eyes widened with surprise, "What's this?" he questioned.

"Do you need to ask again? That's for you, Mr. Lu Bo, thank you once again," Long Tian responded sincerely.

Lu Bo became even more uncomfortable upon hearing this. He was about to say something, but Long Tian immediately patted his shoulder.

"There's no need to be shy; you deserve to receive it. Alright, I have some matters to attend to tonight, so, good night, Mr. Lu Bo," Long Tian said.

Without waiting for Lu Bo's reaction, he turned around and left the store.

Seeing Long Tian no longer in the store, Lu Bo couldn't hide his admiration.

"Such a remarkable young man; I hope there are others like him. God bless you," he remarked.

---

The cold night wind brushed against Long Tian's face, providing a sense of calm and coolness as he walked away from the store.

Skillfully, he opened his smartphone, dialing a number.

It didn't take long for the call to connect, and the voice of an elderly man was heard. "It's rare for you to call me, young master. Is there something I can help with?"

"Yeah, let's meet. I need Rowa plants," Long Tian said with a grin.
