Chapter 14 Laugh at you, you're courting death!
After entering the city.
Su Mu did not go to Wanbaozhai, but instead went to Yaowangge, a place that specializes in selling medicinal herbs!
The title "King of Medicine" sounds and looks extremely arrogant. He dares to call himself a king. In Pingyang County, there is no other like him!
According to Su Mu's inquiries, the reason why the Medicine King Pavilion dares to be so arrogant is simply because it has enough power behind it!
The person in charge of the Medicine King Pavilion is a second-grade alchemist. Looking at all the major forces in Pingyang County, they all have to give him some face!
Alchemists belong to the cultivation branch.
Although both are cultivators, alchemists specialize in alchemy and rarely practice killing techniques.
Even the power of a first-grade alchemist is far beyond that of an ordinary cultivator, and that of a second-grade alchemist is even greater!
To become an alchemist, in addition to the necessary spiritual bones, one must also be born with spiritual power. Both are indispensable, which is why alchemists are extremely rare. Regardless of their rank, they are sought after by all major powers!
Of course, after Su Mu awakened his immortal bones, his spiritual power was also greatly enhanced. In addition, with the blessing of the "Alchemy Treasure Record", becoming an alchemist was not difficult for him!
Now that he has broken through to the Qi Condensation Realm, refining Body Tempering Pills is no longer of much use to him, so he has set his sights on Qi Gathering Pills.
According to the description in the Alchemy Manual, although the Qi Gathering Pill is a low-grade first-class pill, one pill is equivalent to a year of hard work by an ordinary Qi Condensation Realm cultivator, and there is no such pill on the market!
Once he successfully refines it and puts it on the market, it will surely be snapped up!
after all.
There aren't that many geniuses in the world. For an ordinary cultivator to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage and build a Dao Bone is already considered a superior person!
a little.
As Su Mu entered the Medicine King Pavilion, the aroma of herbs wafted towards him. Unlike the extravagant style of Wanbaozhai, the Medicine King Pavilion was extremely simple and unpretentious, exuding a solemn atmosphere that highlighted the dignity of the name "Medicine King".
The shop occupies a huge area, with about three or four counters of various sizes, and at a glance, there are no fewer than ten assistants!
The shop was crowded with people, including martial artists, ordinary people, and even rogue cultivators who had hidden their identities—a real mixed bag!
No one paid any attention to Su Mu, an old man in his sixties, let alone greeted him.
But for him, this was even better, so he wandered around on his own.
"Gathering Qi Flower, Clear Spirit Grass, Purple Leaf Vine, Poria Root, and the medicinal guide Red Yang Sand..."
Su Mu muttered to himself, and after searching around, he breathed a slight sigh of relief. All the medicinal herbs he needed were here, so there was no need to go elsewhere!
He had a little over a hundred taels of silver on hand, and fortunately, these medicinal herbs weren't too expensive, so he bought a few portions.
"Waiter! This old man wants ten catties each of Qi-Gathering Flower and Zero-Clearing Grass!"
"..."
Upon hearing this...
The waiter responsible for a certain area's area had a slight change in expression, and asked with a look of doubt, "Sir, are you sure?"
These medicinal herbs aren't expensive, but such a large quantity would cost a hundred taels of silver. Leaving aside whether the other party has that much silver, what would an old man over fifty years old want to buy these medicinal herbs for?
Could it be... that he's also an alchemist?
The thought had barely formed in his mind when the waiter immediately dismissed it, realizing he was overthinking it. Would an alchemist really be like this?
"Hehe, you heard me right, this is all the old man wants."
As he spoke, Su Mu took out a silver pouch from his pocket, weighed it in his hand, and handed it to the waiter, "Could you please take a look?"
The waiter snapped out of his daze, took the silver pouch, counted the contents, and then respectfully said:
"Sir, please wait a moment, I'll prepare the goods for you right away!"
"Hehe, thank you for your trouble."
Su Mu smiled and nodded, unhurriedly. Outsiders couldn't see anything unusual about him and thought he was just an old man who was about to die!
Therefore.
Several people inside the Medicine King Pavilion had their eyes on Su Mu, glancing at him every now and then, wondering what they were plotting behind the scenes.
A little time.
The shopkeeper had prepared the goods and, with great effort, carried over two large bags. He was about to ask Su Mu how he could take them with him.
Unexpectedly, Su Mu lifted each bag with one hand, carrying nearly a hundred pounds of goods, as if it were nothing, and did it right there on the spot!
quiet--
Those around who witnessed this scene couldn't help but twitch their lips, their hearts filled with shock, and they stood there dumbfounded!
Is this really an old man in his sixties or seventies, nearing the end of his life?
The most shocking thing was undoubtedly the waiter. He had worked himself to the bone for so long, only to have it all done so casually by the waiter.
"Hehe, thank you for your trouble, sir." Su Mu greeted the waiter with a smile, carrying the bag. The scene was quite interesting.
It was still early.
Su Mu wasn't in a hurry to go back. He still had some silver left, so he planned to go to Qianxianglou, the largest intelligence base in Pingyang County, which was commonly known as a brothel!
However, before we go, we need to deal with a few loose ends first!
After decades in the military, without some counter-surveillance skills, he would have been dead long ago!
Su Mu didn't take the few clumsy trackers behind him seriously at all!
After leading the group through several winding paths to familiarize themselves with the surrounding terrain, he lured them to a relatively secluded dead-end alley with few people and stopped there.
then.
With his back to them, Su Mu coldly asked, "What? You've been following us for so long, aren't you going to come out?"
The words were spoken.
Whoosh whoosh—
Several figures emerged from the alleyway.
The group of men were dressed in thick black clothes and had ordinary appearances, but their prominent temples were enough to tell that they were not cultivators, but rather martial artists who practiced external martial arts!
As for rank.
Su Mu hadn't reached the point where he could see through someone's cultivation level at a glance.
"Tsk tsk tsk! Old man, so you managed to spot us?"
The leader, his face ruthless, couldn't help but click his tongue and say, "Unfortunately, now that you've been discovered, not only will there be no reward, but you'll also die!"
Upon hearing this, several burly men in black behind him grinned maliciously, each with a mocking expression on their face.
"Old bastard, since you're about to die, hand over your valuables and crawl between our legs, and maybe we'll spare your life!"
A burly man in black at the back grinned maliciously, his words laced with provocation towards Su Mu, "Otherwise... we wouldn't recommend sending you to your grave prematurely!"
"So you were after money... What a pity you didn't say so sooner. Perhaps this old man could have spared you some. As for now, you deserve to die!"
As soon as Su Mu finished speaking, the others laughed as if they had heard the biggest joke in the world, and their stomachs hurt from laughing.
"Old man, do you even know what you're saying? You really think you can challenge us just because you have some strength?"
"Let me tell you, our eldest brother is a third-realm martial artist, a being who can shatter mountains and rocks with a single punch. Killing you is as easy as crushing an ant!"
"..."
Upon hearing this...
Su Mu couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, causing the expressions of the others to change. The leader, a burly man in black, asked in a deep voice, "Old man, what are you laughing at!"
"I laugh at your recklessness! Azure Origin Sword Technique, Sword Control, Slash!"
After saying that, Su Mu had a thought, circulated his spiritual power, put two fingers together and pointed in the air. A cold light burst out from the storage bag at his waist, and the long sword was drawn!
