Chapter 128: Only Short of Blood and Lingering Grass

  Xia Yan left the Xia family's mansion and put on a Ling Luo mask in a quiet place outside, then quickly headed to the auction house again.

  A week ago, Xia Yan had already asked Mo Ke, the manager of the pharmacy, to prepare the twenty-three medicinal materials needed for the preparation of the medicine. As long as these twenty-three medicinal materials are ready, Xia Yan can prepare the medicine and then expand his Linggong hole. At that time, the transformation of internal force into spiritual force will necessarily be much faster.

  ”

  In an alley, Xia Yan's knee slightly bent, the amplitude was extremely ordinary, even if he saw Xia Yan, it was impossible to see Xia Yan's body making such a move. But just for an instant. Xia Yan disappeared from his original position and appeared at the other end of the wall.

  Although he still can't use spiritual power, Xia Yan's control and use of internal energy have now reached a very high level.

  Even without using martial arts, just throwing a punch, the internal force suddenly bursts out and can instantly penetrate a hard wall.

  It wasn't even time for one incense stick to burn out yet when Xia Yan appeared outside the medicine shop of the auction house.

  "Here comes, here comes,"

  The little girl outside the door of the pharmacy saw Xia Yan arrive and immediately called out in a crisp voice towards the inside of the pharmacy.

  Obviously, Mo Ke knew that Xia Yan was coming to pick up the medicine today. So he had already let the little girl in the pharmacy wait outside the door, and as soon as she saw Xia Yan, she immediately notified him.

  "Knock knock"

  Bang

  "Ah yo,"

  Mo Ke, hearing the young woman's shout outside the door, hastily stood up from behind the counter and rushed out towards the outside. In his haste, he collided with a counter and tumbled to the ground, letting out a pained cry.

  However, he rolled on the ground and quickly got up again. His small eyes looked towards the outside of the door, at this time Xia Yan, who was wearing a mask, had already appeared at the edge of the pharmacy door.

  The young woman's face turned crimson, and her eyes shone with an unusual light, as she quietly retreated to the side on tiptoes.

  "Mr. Ling Luo, you're finally here, haha. I've been waiting for you all morning." Mo Kai said with a smile as he looked at Xia Yan's face.

  Xia Yan nodded, "Mm, Mr. Mo Ke, are all the medicinal materials I need ready?"

  Entering the pharmacy, Mo Kai bowed his head, "This,"

  "Mr. Ling Luo, I've tried my best!" Mo Kai sighed, "But that high-grade medicinal herb, Blood Ling Grass, I just can't get it."

  Xue Ling Cao is a high-grade medicinal herb, relatively rare and extremely expensive. Moreover, it's often unaffordable even with money, mostly appearing in auctions held by auction houses.

  "Are all the other herbs ready?" Xia Yan had also expected that Blood Ling Grass might be hard to find.

  "Yes!" Mo Kai's face relaxed, "Except for the Blood Lingcao, the other twenty-two medicinal herbs. Ma Gou Cao, Wu Dai Lan, Bai Jie Cao... I've already prepared them all and they're now all transported."

  "Hmm! What about this price?" Xia Yan nodded. "How many gold coins are needed for these medicinal materials in total?"

  The last time he came, Xia Yan didn't ask about the exact price of the medicine. Mo Kai also didn't tell Xia Yan that in his opinion, for a strong person like Xia Yan, money was absolutely not a problem. Moreover, having done business with Xia Yan twice before, Mo Kai roughly understood that Xia Yan would never shortchange him on gold coins.

  "Mr. Ling Luo, because this time you need more medicinal materials, and among them, there are over a dozen very expensive ones. After the 20% discount, it will cost a total of 2,450,600 gold coins." Mo Kai's eyes gleamed with light, "Heh heh, round down to an integer. Mr. Ling Luo can just give me 2,450,000 gold coins."

  This time, he had managed to secure such a large share of the business, and Mo Kai was secretly delighted.

  More than 200,000 gold coins, the total sales of the entire pharmacy in a month, and that's about it. Moreover, most of what they sell are ordinary medicinal materials, with not much profit to speak of.

  The more expensive the medicine is, the higher the profit will be! Even if it's discounted by 20%, there's still a huge profit.

  "Huh?" Xia Yan's body paused for a moment, his eyebrows furrowed, "Two million four hundred and fifty thousand?"

  Currently, Xia Yan has just over 1.2 million votes, still short of nearly half.

  "Terrible, I don't have enough gold coins." Xia Yan thought to himself with a worried heart.

  "Mr. Ling Luo!" Hearing Xia Yan's voice wasn't quite right, Mo Ke suddenly became a bit tense. The smile on his face froze, "The medicinal materials you want... there are several kinds of medicinal materials that require 20 to 30 thousand gold coins just to purchase one plant, and they're all materials for refining high-grade elixirs. I absolutely did not overcharge Mr. Ling Luo."

  Mo Kai thought Xia Yan felt he overcharged, so he hurriedly explained to Xia Yan.

  Sweat drops on his forehead all flowed down.

  Xia Yan saw Mo Ke like this, waved his hand and smiled: "I know, um, but this time I went out with insufficient gold tickets. In a few days, I'll come back to get the medicine. Don't worry, I will definitely buy these medicines."

  "Alright, no problem, absolutely no problem." Mo Kai wiped the sweat from his forehead and said repeatedly.

  It's just a matter of buying it a few days later, which is no big deal. The pharmacy's funds can also be turned over in a short period of time.

  "Ah-ha!" Mo Kai's small eyes sparkled as he grinned, glancing around before continuing, "At the auction a week later, it seems there's a Blood Ling Grass up for bidding. Mr. Ling Luo, if you're interested in purchasing it...

  The auction will be held once a month, and each time it will feature some rare items for sale. For example, some dan medicine, high-grade medicinal materials, or even powerful martial arts secret manuals may appear at the auction.

  When Xia Yan heard Mo Kai's words, he was shocked.

  Only short of Ling grass, all the medicinal materials can be prepared.

  "But where can I get this gold coin? Family? No way! My identity must not be exposed now. Moreover, tens of thousands of gold coins are not a small amount and must go through the Council of Elders." Xia Yan thought to himself.

  Xia Yan furrowed his brow and fell into deep thought, Mo Kai didn't dare disturb him. He could only watch Xia Yan with tense eyes.

  A young woman beside him couldn't help but glance at Xia Yan from time to time, her bright eyes moving constantly.

  "I don't know if this Ling Luo gentleman is very young. Ah, wearing a mask every day, it's really... listening to his voice???? The little woman muttered to herself."

  "Ah, Mr. Mo Ke, thank you very much for the message. I'll be there at the auction next week. At that time, I'll buy these medicinal materials together." Xia Yan said after a moment of silence to Mo Ke.

  Mo Ke hastily smiled and said: "No need to be polite. Mr. Ling Luo, you mustn't be polite to me!"

  "In the future, if you have any orders, as long as I, Mo Ke, can do it, just give me the order. Hehe, Mo Ke smiles sweetly."

  "Nishikawa! Nishikawa! West!"

  The third floor of the Extreme Challenge Arena, the head of a second-rate family from the Jade Water City, raised his fist and shouted loudly, with an excited expression on his face.

  On the arena, two people stood. One of them was Fei Yun, a high-level arena master who had fought with Xia Yan before. The other person was a young man in a magnificent long gown, looking no more than thirty years old, with eyes as sharp as an eagle's and a face as sharp as a knife cut.

  The weapon he used was a pair of dark iron claws with an iron chain attached behind them.

  "Fei Yun? Don't you know when to give up?" Xichuan sneered, a cold smile spreading from the corner of his mouth as he spoke in an arrogant tone.

  Xī "also won ten consecutive games in the previous challenge match!

  Five junior challenge matches, five intermediate challenge matches. Now, it's time for the advanced challenge match. His opponent is none other than the Advanced Challenger Feiyun.

  Fei Yun was defeated by Xia Yan last time, but Xia Yan gave up the position of High-Level Arena Master, so Fei Yun continued to serve as the High-Level Arena Master and accepted challenges from others.

  Seikawa's winning streak of ten games has also reached its peak. Like Ling Luo back then, and even more so than Ling Luo.

  Because in the ten challenge matches, he defeated his opponents with a single move every time. In four of the challenge matches, his opponents were even seriously injured and had to be carried out of the arena.

  "Admit defeat? Ha ha!" Fei Yun smiled, "Xichuan, make your move!"

  ”

  Flying cloud speech sound just fell!

  The iron claw of Xi had already flown out. With a heart-shaking breaking wind sound, the iron claw attacked Fei Yun at an astonishing speed.

  Fei Yun's face changed, and he hastily raised the weapon in his hand to block it. At the same time, his body bent into a curve, making an impossible move for ordinary people.

  ”

  Two weapons collided, sparks flying everywhere.

  "No wonder you were once a spiritual master, your strength is quite good." Xichuan said with an evil smile, "However, you are far from being my opponent."

  Xī's hand with the iron claw suddenly pulled back, bringing a residual shadow with it, and then shot out again at an even faster speed! This time, not even a residual shadow could be seen.

  Everyone in the surrounding rooms gasped. Only a strong spiritual master could see what Xichuan was doing!

  A powerful spiritual master shook and said: "It turns out that this Xikang has already reached the realm of a spiritual master! The power of this move completely surpasses that of a postnatal strongman."

  "Not good!" Fei Yun's heart was greatly shocked, he only felt a fierce and unparalleled energy pouncing on him, but he couldn't catch the trail of his opponent's iron claw.

  The weapon in hand hastily relied on feeling to counterattack, but it was empty!

  "Oh no!" Flying Cloud's mind was racing with thoughts flashing by in an instant, and then, his chest was struck by a powerful force.

  China.

  A mouthful of blood spurted out from Fei Yun's mouth, and immediately afterwards, his body was knocked flying away, drifting far away from the arena and landing on the ground.

  "Haha, I made you admit defeat." Xichuan smiled coldly and turned his gaze, "But you still don't have the self-awareness!"

  Iron Claw retracted, Xi Chuan looked at Fei Yun on the ground in the distance with some disdain.

  Fei Yun's face turned deathly pale, the heavy blow to his chest earlier had disrupted his internal energy and several of his ribs were broken.

  "Amazing!" Fei Yun struggled on the ground for a moment. His gaze turned to Xichuan, "His strength has already reached the realm of a Spiritual Master."

  "Haha, won! Won!"

  A gambler who had bet on "west" shouted out in surprise and delight.

  In the four-sided room, some people are delighted, while others shake their heads in dismay and sigh!

  Tickets! Want tickets at night!
