I Am Born With A Silver Spoon
Chapter 666 A Bait

The name of Herb King Valley's Valley Master was Yao Guyi.

Of course, this name was not renowned among the commoners, and they might not have even heard it before.

However, it was a glorious name among the world's wealthiest and most powerful people.

Following Yao Ming, Chen Hao could see that many exhibiting boards were set up in the valley.

Names of distinguished people from all over the world were written on these boards.

It seemed like many people came here to ask for medicines.

Yao Ming used to be the Valley Master's personal driver.

That year, when he was travelling with the Valley Master, they had been pursued by their enemies along their journey.

Yao Ming had carried the Valley Master on his back and fled for their lives.

Coincidently, they had ran into Uncle who was returning home, who then brought them to his place.

After hiding themselves for a few days, both of them managed to escape death.

In order to express their gratitude toward Uncle, Yao Guyi promised that if Uncle had a favor to ask in the future, he would definitely fulfill his request.

In Yao Guyi's opinion, Uncle was just a farmer.

He would never know that those enemies had actually found them, but they were all gotten rid of by Uncle.

So, this was the backstory between Uncle and Herb King Valley.

Through their conversation, Chen Hao learned that Yao Ming was a nice person who cherished the kindness he received.

"What is your name?" asked Yao Ming while looking at Chen Hao with a smile.

"My surname is Chen."

Chen Hao did not tell him his name. After all, his name was quite a sensitive matter here.

Obviously, Yao Ming understood as well.

Realizing that Chen Hao was not willing to tell him his name, he just looked at Chen Hao with a smile without asking further.

Both of them came to a pavilion in the valley and sat down.

Yao Ming said, "Mr. Chen, you might not know about this, but if you had come to me a while earlier, I could have gotten these three herbs for you without informing the Valley Master, but now, I guess that you have sensed it too. The disciples in the valley are extremely busy, and all the materials are managed by the Second Elders. Sigh. I don't have much authority here, and I'm on bad terms with the Second Elders In addition, the three medicinal materials that you want are all precious materials. That's why..."

He gave a deep sigh.

He looked genuinely helpless. When they had met at the entrance, Chen Hao had noticed that the entrance guards treated Yao Ming differently, and understood that his status was not distinguished. Moreover, from his words, Chen Hao guessed that Yao Guyi had probably forgotten about this debt of gratitude from the past.

Therefore, it would be challenging to get the medicine that he came for, not to mention establishing connections with the Valley King of Herb King Valley.

"Even so, Mr. Chen, I'm alive today because of Mister. Since he finally has a favor to ask, I will definitely fulfill his request by all means. You shall stay here for a few days. I'll try my best to get these three herbs for you!" Yao Ming said.

Initially, Chen Hao wanted to tell him that he could only wait less than three days, because these herbs would be useless to him after three days even if he got them.

However, Chen Hao understood Yao Ming's difficult situation and didn't want to pressure him. Therefore, he could only wait now for the outcome.

"Mr. Chen, I have a side room at my place. I'll clean it for you later and you can stay there for a few days. I'll use my connections and try to get a meeting with the Valley Master." After informing Chen Hao, Yao Ming settled him down.

Then, he took the letter and went to arrange matters immediately.

Chen Hao had nothing to do in Herb King Valley.

He remembered that there were various secret techniques of making pills in his memory.

Since it was the first time that he was exposed to it, he was intrigued to learn more about it.

When Yao Ming brought him here just now, he had noticed that there were many carvings of the pill-making process in pictures on the stone wall of the low cliff outside the room.

He had nothing to do anyway, so he decided to walk out there and look around.

After some exploration, Chen Hao realized that most of the pills were man-made using the pill-making secret technique of Herb King Valley, and the process of extracting medicinal material seemed very troublesome.

This technique was extremely different from the one in his memory.

Taking an herb as an example, to extract it, the carvings stated that it must first be distilled with a specific liquid medicine, followed by purification.

But according to the pill-making technique in his memory, he could just use his inner energy to extract and purify it.

As for the process of refining and heating, the pill-making technique in his mind recorded a skill of inner energy called 'fire-controlling technique'. This technique was more profound than the carvings, and was obviously easier.

However, Chen Hao had never made a pill, so he could not make further guessings.

"Hey, Mister! My kite is tangled in the tree. Can you please take it down for me? Thank you!"

Just when Chen Hao planned to go back after he had finished reading the carvings, a melodious voice rang from behind him a short distance away.

Chen Hao looked back in reflex and saw an extraordinarily beautiful girl with a ponytail standing under a huge tree while looking at him anxiously.

She seemed to be around 18 or 19 years old, and she looked extremely innocent and adorable in an all-white sports attire.

Chen Hao didn't see any reason to reject this small request, so he walked over there and spotted the tangled kite near the top of the tree.

If he was alone, Chen Hao would have used his agility skills.

However, he had learned that it was not wise to display his ability to the public after the incident involving the Gu Family. Otherwise, there was a high possibility that it would lead to his death. Therefore, Chen Hao decided to climb the tree.

Just when Chen Hao was about to move, the girl in sports attire took a few steps backward rapidly all of a sudden.

Then, a huge net sprang from the ground and immediately caught him in it, hanging him above the ground.

These nets were made using gold mesh.

If he were to escape from it, he had to use his inner energy.

"What are you doing?" Chen Hao asked coldly.

Right at this moment, many people rushed out from all directions, and they were all young boys and girls who were splendidly dressed.

"I caught him. I caught him!" the girl in sports attire cheered and jumped delightedly.

"Quick, call Mengfei here and tell her that I've caught a bait!" the girl in sports attire said.

Soon, a woman who was obviously older than the girl walked toward them elegantly, and she seemed to be around 23 years old. "Mengfei!"

When the woman came, most of the boys' eyes glimmered.

At the same time, they showed their reverence to her and nodded while greeting her.

"Mengfei, look! Weren't you lacking bait? I caught one for you!"

"Mengyao, who is he? Why was he captured?"

Mengfei walked toward them and looked Chen Hao up and down with crossed arms. Then, she could not help but smile bitterly at her sister.

"I'm not sure who he is either. I was going to use this huge net to catch some servants, but all of them did not dare to come out. It just so happened that I noticed this man running around our valley, so I captured him!" Yao Mengyao replied while laughing.

"Mengyao, could he be the son of one of those wealthy businessmen who are here to ask for medicines? If he is, we're in trouble!" a young man reminded her.

Yao Mengfei looked at her sister as well.

"Impossible. I had spent some time observing him before catching him. Look at his clothing. It's so common, so he's definitely not any of the young masters. Besides, he's kind of dumb. He came over obediently when I told him to do so. Don't worry, I'll ask him!" Yao Mengyao said in a smug tone.

Then, she picked up a branch from the ground and pointed at Chen Hao while asking, "Hey you. Tell me, are you the son of any wealthy businessmen who came to ask for medicine?"

Chen Hao had no idea what these boys and girls were up to, but judging from their words, they were probably people from the valley.

Since he could not make out the situation, he did not try to do anything, so he just shook his head.

"See? He's not. Besides, he was acting sneakily, and he's dressed shabbily. He could even have snuck in, so it's suitable to use him as a bait!" Yao Mengyao said.

"Fine, then. Grab him and bring him away," Yao Mengfei instructed at last after casting Chen Hao a nonchalant glance.
