Meeting the King Pharmacist

"What the hell?"

As soon as Han Zhigao entered the building, the people in the cue started to complain. They had been waiting outside for days. They thought it was unfair for a person without a bamboo card to see the King Pharmacist ahead of them. It also meant one more person had to wait longer.

"Wait here," the middle-aged man said before closing the door.

"What?" Someone waiting outside was not happy.

"I knew it! He must have gone inside with herbs," another person waiting outside said.

"Did he bring herbs with him?" a person in the cue asked.

"Have you ever heard of the rule made by the King Pharmacist?" the person talking earlier asked.

"What rule?" the other person asked.

"As long as you bring a rare herb with extraordinary effect to the King Pharmacist, he will do you a big favor," the first person said.
