Chapter 426: Pick Up a Treasure in a Medicine Store

There were a lot of people looking at Ling Xiao. Among them, there were also Martial Vein Realm martial artists.

However, Ling Xiao basically didn’t care about them.

He even wanted someone to come and look for trouble with him.

He, in fact, wanted to test his strength in this state of having most of his true essence and other energies suppressed.

Most of the martial artists had war-monger nature in their bones. It was just that many refused to admit to it.

Unfortunately, those people didn’t seem to notice that he was actually eating low-grade True Essence Pills.

They might have thought that he was truly eating beans.

Huh?

Ling Xiao, who was swallowing low-grade True Essence Pills, noticed something different.

Reasonably, these low-grade True Essence Pills should have no effect on improving the cultivation base of Rank Three Transcendent Realm martial artists. Those pills could only replenish the true essence.

However, he was surprised to notice that, because his muscles were exhausted, and his entire true essence was also practically exhausted, after the low-grade True Essence Pills entered his stomach, the medicinal properties were completely absorbed by his dried-up body.

That feeling was like pouring water on dry ground.

Not only has his cultivation improved, but even his physical body seemed to have tempered.

And the <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>, which had been stagnated for a long time, showed signs of loosening.

“Interesting.”

A happy smile appeared on his face.

Venerable Yun proved himself to be the former Great Master and a powerhouse. This cultivation method was tailored perfectly for him. The effect was extraordinary.

“Master, let’s continue.”

“Well, there should be the last inhabited place on the edge of the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range, called ‘Sand Family Fortress’.”

Ling Xiao nodded, then got up slowly. He felt that it was obviously easier to walk this time than before.

Although Ling Xiao was unable to use Cloud Dragon Divine Walk while carrying the Refine Array Stone, even like that, his speed was much faster than ordinary martial artists.

When the scorching sun turned into a warm sunset, he finally arrived at ‘Sand Family Fortress’.

It was also a place located at the edge of the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range.

It was considered a village, but it was big because many martial artists came here.

Sand Family Fortress was near the deep area of Crouching Dragon Mountain Range, so many people that wanted to go to Crouching Dragon Mountain Range for adventure or perform sect tasks would stay here for a period of time to prepare sufficient food and items, then enter the depths of the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range.

The buildings of this place were mostly made of sand and stones. They looked pretty sturdy.

Along the way, Ling Xiao saw many Transcendent Realm martial artists. And he, who seemed a bit unique originally, was not so conspicuous now.

Those martial artists were either discussing their tasks or discussing the major events in the world or talking about a certain senior or junior sister from a certain sect, then burst into laughter which only men could understand.

Interestingly, Ling Xiao also heard about himself from these people.

It seemed that the event in the Green Valley had a big impact.

Sand Family Village was not considered a town, but it had all facilities.

Medicine Store, Smithy, Food Store and so on were all here.

And almost every store was overcrowded with people. These martial artists that came from sects didn’t hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy things they liked. In the eyes of the secular people, they were simply spendthrifts.

However, in the eyes of those martial artists, gold and silver were not worth mentioning at all.

“Let’s go to the Medicine Store to take a look.”

Venerable Yuan suggested: “This place is close to the depths of Crouching Dragon Mountain Range. You can often find some rare medicinal materials. But there are just a few remarkable Pharmacists in a small place like this. So, they basically don’t recognize many treasures. Perhaps, we can pick up some treasures that were missed by others.”

Ling Xiao felt it was reasonable.

Moreover, the sky was already dark. It would be too dangerous to enter the depths of Crouching Dragon Mountain Range now. Therefore, he planned to stay in Sand Family Fortress for one night. It wouldn’t be too late to leave early tomorrow morning.

Although the Moon Advent Festival was getting closer and closer, some things must not be rushed.

The size of this Medicine Store was not small even compared to the stores in a large city like Hollow Cloud City.

The best part was, this store actually had an unusual ‘Light Absorption Array’ on the ceiling.

This array had no attack power, but it could absorb the sunlight during the day and release the light at night.

And a good Light Absorption Array could easily last for ten days without any problem.

The Light Absorption Array of this store was a little worse, but it could last for about six hours, which was definitely enough for them.

After entering the store, it felt no different from the daytime. The soft light had a hint of warmth, which made the cold weather of night no longer so cold.

There were a lot of people in the store. When Ling Xiao walked in, he didn’t attract much attention. The store owner just gave him a glance.

Ling Xiao wasn’t wearing the attire of the Moonlight Sect. He was just wearing a set of ordinary cloth, but it looked quite luxurious in the eyes of Secular World’s people.

This dress was worth at least ten taels of silver.

For this kind of wealthy people, the people in the Medicine Store didn’t monitor too strictly, lest they might offend these potential big customers.

With no one to disturb, Ling Xiao calmly searched through the entire Medicine Store, hoping to find worldly treasures mentioned by his Master Venerable Yuan.

Various kinds of medicinal herbs, medicinal fruits, and even various kinds of alchemy materials of evil beasts and fierce beasts could be found here.

“Master, it seems there are outstanding alchemists in this Sand Family Fortress. Basically, all valuable materials are already purchased.”

 After looking over once, Ling Xiao secretly transmitted his voice to Venerable Yuan.

“Hmm, your analysis is not wrong, but that’s just basic. Their level is much lower than Old Yang, not to mention compared to this Master. They got to choose first, but they still missed a precious material.”

Venerable Yuan replied.

“This disciple has also noticed it.”

Ling Xiao smiled: “But Master, is that thing useful?”

“Of course, it’s useful. This material is necessary for this Master to teach you how to refine low-yellow-grade pills, buy it!”

Venerable Yuan transmitted his voice.

Ling Xiao nodded, then turned around as if nothing had happened. Afterward, he walked to the medicinal herb he was interested in and said: “Hello, please help me take out this medicinal herb.”

In fact, he was a little too nervous, which was basically unneeded. It looked like this medicinal herb had been here for at least a month, but no one had bought it, which meant that no one had recognized it at all.

Even if he looked impatient, that sales clerk wouldn’t feel weird, and wouldn’t care too much.

The store clerk had been looking at Ling Xiao for a long time.

At first, when he saw Ling Xiao wearing such expensive clothes, he thought that he had encountered a big client, but after a long time, Ling Xiao just fancied a cheap medicinal herb, which made him a little unhappy.

“One hundred taels of silver.”

That sales clerk said indifferently.

Ling Xiao just prepared to take out money.

One hundred tales of silver was worth nothing to him. He wouldn’t bother to pick it up even if he found it on the ground.

“You don’t need to give him so much. Even one tael of silver is already too much for this ordinary medicinal material, but you actually dare to ask for one hundred taels!”

At that moment, a voice resounded.
