Chapter 782: Heading to the Medicine Kings’ Valley
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On the second day, at eight o’clock in the morning, Connor, Carlos, and Diana took a bus and headed towards the location of the Medicine King’s Valley.

Although the name sounds like a place from a martial arts novel, it is actually just a small town.

Medicine King’s Valley is located in the coastal area of Davenport and is the largest medicinal herb trading market in the country.

Therefore, transportation to Medicine King’s Valley is very convenient. It only takes two hours to travel from Porthampton to there.

After Connor boarded the bus, he noticed that most of the people on the bus were old white-haired medicine practitioners with immortal temperament.

These old men were probably local traditional Chinese medicine doctors from the vicinity of Porthampton, intending to buy some medicinal herbs from Medicine King’s Valley.

The Flora Festival was about to begin, and there would be many precious medicinal herbs that are not usually seen.

These old medicine practitioners naturally didn’t want to miss such a good opportunity.

However, Connor also knew that these old men on the bus were just minor characters. After all, those famous medicine practitioners must have someone to pick them up and wouldn’t choose to travel by bus.

It was just that because of the incident at the Emperor’s Club last time, Connor became more cautious.

Although he had Carlos with him at the moment, he didn’t know what kind of assassins he would encounter next, so he thought it would be more convenient to take public transportation.

Diana, who was dressed in a sexy outfit, also followed Connor. In fact, he originally didn’t want to bring Diana with him.

After all, both he and Carlos were men, and it felt a bit strange to have a woman with them.

But Thomas told him that Diana was skilled and could protect his safety when necessary.

And more importantly, she was very knowledgeable about medicinal herbs and was familiar with the situation at Medicine King’s Valley.

If she accompanied him, she could also serve as a guide.

So in the end, he reluctantly agreed to bring Diana along.

But he realized that it was too conspicuous to have Diana, a woman, by his side because her dressing was too sexy and alluring.

Diana was wearing a black tight-fitting camisole that perfectly accentuated her graceful curves. Her ample bosom gave off a captivating sensation, and her slender waist emitted an irresistible allure as she swayed.

She wore a white hip-hugging skirt, barely covering the captivating curves of her buttocks, and a pair of ten-centimeter high heels on her feet, making her look extremely tempting.

When Diana appeared on the bus, everyone’s attention was drawn to her.

Connor looked at her and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

Because he had instructed her earlier to dress more casually this time, she Diana insisted that this was already her most ordinary attire, leaving him at a loss for words.

Soon, the bus started.

She turned her head and glanced at Connor, then whispered to him, “Mr. Connor, are you really going to that place called Precipice Cave?”

“Yes, Jorge instructed me that there are very important medicinal herbs in Precipice Cave, so I definitely have to go…” He nodded lightly while looking at the scenery outside.

“But as far as I know, Precipice Cave is very dangerous…” Diana reminded Connor softly.

“If it wasn’t dangerous, Jorge wouldn’t let me go…” Connor said indifferently.

After hearing his resolute attitude, she sighed softly and didn’t say anything more.

Carlos has been sitting next to Connor, with a calm expression on his face.

“By the way, Diana, you are familiar with the situation at Medicine King’s Valley, right?”

Connor turned his head and glanced at Diana, asking her softly.

“Yes, I lived there for a while. If Mr. Connor wants to find any medicinal herbs, you can just tell me, I will definitely help you find them…” Diana said coquettishly to Connor.

“Okay…”

Connor looked at her and nodded gently, not saying anything more.

Meanwhile, Diana took out her phone and started playing with it.

…

In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.

The bus that Connor was on finally arrived at Medicine King’s Valley. Although it was a small town, the area was quite large, comparable to a small city.

After Connor, Diana, and Carlos got off the bus, Connor could see many elderly people dressed in Tang suits or herbal medicine merchants coming and going in the town. These people were probably here to participate in the Flora Festival.

Diana turned her head and glanced at Connor, then asked him softly, “Mr. Connor, what kind of medicinal herbs do you need? I can inquire for you…”

“These are the medicinal herbs Jorge needs…”

Connor took out the piece of paper that Jorge had given him and handed it to Diana.

After receiving Connor’s note, she carefully looked at it and a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes. She then said softly to Connor, “Jorge is really excessive. All the medicinal herbs listed here are rare and quite expensive…”

“How much do these medicinal herbs cost?”

Connor hesitated for a moment and couldn’t help but ask Diana.

After hearing his question, Diana paused for a moment and then said softly, “Mr. Connor, if you want to buy all these medicinal herbs, it would cost at least five billion…”

“Five billion?”

Upon hearing her words, Connor instantly froze in place, with an expression of extreme helplessness on his face.

Originally, he thought that these medicinal herbs would cost a few tens of millions at most, but he didn’t expect Jorge to be so ruthless. These few herbs alone would cost five billion!

“The medicinal herbs listed on this note are not particularly rare, but he requires them to be at least five hundred years old, which makes the price higher…”

She turned her head and explained to him.

“I understand…”

Connor nodded lightly and then continued to ask Diana, “Do you know where we can buy these medicinal herbs?”

“If it’s ordinary medicinal herbs, you can find them in any herbal medicine trading market around here. But if you want herbs that are over five hundred years old, only the old, well-established herbal medicine shops would have them. However, I can’t be one hundred percent sure. Mr. Connor, we can go and have a look…”

After thinking for a moment, Diana answered.

“Alright, since we’re already here, let’s go and take a look!”

Connor nodded gently towards Diana.
