Chapter 6: Little Medicine Immortal

Master, the profit from selling the medicinal pills this time totals fifty thousand; according to our agreement, I take twenty percent, which is forty thousand gold coins.

Inside a courtyard in Hei Yan Cheng.

A middle-aged man in yellow robes bent his body slightly, respectfully took out a gold coin card, and handed it to Lin Feng, who stood before him wearing a black robe.

On his chubby face was an expression of fawning, afraid to offend Lin Feng.

After all, a year earlier, the alchemist Liu Xi, whom he had painstakingly befriended, was killed by a mysterious person.

This caused the nearly one hundred thousand gold coins he had invested in Liu Xi to go to waste, and his firm once came close to bankruptcy.

Fortunately, he came to Hei Yan Cheng to try his luck and happened to meet this mysterious alchemist.

With this alchemist's support, he managed to recover.

Hmm.

Lin Feng took the card, glanced at it casually, then stored it in his space ring; beneath his robe came a slightly hoarse voice.

Seeing his former superior in this state, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a bit amused.

A year ago, he happened to meet his former boss on the street and overheard his conversation with others.

Only then did he learn that it was because he had killed Liu Xi that he had become so down-and-out.

And he happened to need someone to help him sell medicinal pills, so he pulled this former superior into the business.

However, to avoid trouble, he had never used his true appearance.

Clearing his throat, Lin Feng took out two bottles of Purple Orchid Spirit Liquid that he had prepared according to the recipe from memory, imitating Yao Lao's Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid.

He flicked them, and they landed steadily on the tea table before him, then he said: 'These are two bottles of second-tier Purple Orchid Spirit Liquid, whose effects are the same as the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid you occasionally sell in Wutan City.'

Second tier?!

Hearing this, the yellow-robed man's flesh trembled; he lived in Wutan City, how could he not have heard of that Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid?

Immediately, with a look of surprise and delight, he picked up the two jade bottles on the tea table and said obsequiously: 'I truly have eyes but fail to see Mount Tai; I never imagined Master is a second-tier alchemist. Rest assured, I will definitely help you sell them at a high price.'

No need.

Lin Feng shook his head and, under the yellow-robed man's puzzled gaze, said: 'I'll be leaving Hei Yan Cheng in a few days; these two bottles of liquid will serve as payment for your help gathering these medicinal herbs these days.'

Lea... leave?!

Upon hearing this, the yellow-robed man's face instantly turned anxious, thinking Lin Feng was dissatisfied with the profit; he hurriedly said: 'Master, if you have any dissatisfaction, just speak up; I can take only one-tenth of the split.'

Lin Feng shook his head again and said: 'I'm leaving because I have urgent matters, not because of the profit.'

Master, this...

Enough, stop saying more; I've already decided and will not change it.

Hearing that slightly hoarse male voice from beneath the black robe, the yellow-robed man dejectedly clasped his hands, then helplessly walked out of the courtyard...

Seeing the yellow-robed man leave, Lin Feng pulled off his robe, entered the room in the courtyard, and began preparing supplies for wilderness survival.

In a few days, he plans to head to the Magic Beast Mountain Range near Qing Shan Town to search for that cave possessing flight combat techniques.

During this year in Hei Yan Cheng, he not only advanced to a second-tier alchemist, but his strength also reached the level of an eight-star fighter.

Although he still does not dare to go alone to the Magic Beast Mountain Range near Qing Shan Town to search.

But teaming up with some mercenaries poses no problem.

Moreover, with Lin Feng's eight-star fighter strength, plus the Mysterious Tier combat technique he possesses, he is more than enough to handle most sudden situations.

Furthermore, according to the original story, in about three months Xiao Yan will go to Qing Shan Town for training.

At this point, if he doesn't go look for it himself, Xiao Yan might have to go look for it on his behalf.

Qing Shan Town, due to its proximity to the Magic Beast Mountain Range, is also called the Magic Beast Little Town; in the town, the majority of the population naturally consists of those mercenaries who lick blood from the blade all day, they gather in groups, clasping each other's arms, spitting foam as they walk the streets, freely discussing which woman in town is most alluring, which liquor is strongest, which magic beast is fiercest…

After several days of travel, the dust-covered Lin Feng walked along the street paved with blue stone.

On both sides of the street were many shops, and thanks to its location, business was still quite brisk.

However, as a second-tier alchemist, Lin Feng could not muster the slightest interest in the low-grade goods in those shops.

'Wan Yao Zhai.' As he walked, Lin Feng's gaze suddenly fell upon a medicinal herb shop.

'I recall that this medicinal herb shop seems to have a piece of Blood Lotus Essence; I don't know if it's still available...'

Thinking this, Lin Feng immediately strode straight into that relatively spacious shop.

Blood Lotus Essence, a kind of extremely rare high-grade medicinal material.

This medicinal material usually grows together with Yellow Lotus Essence, but its quantity is extremely scarce.

Its appearance is almost identical to that of Yellow Lotus Essence.

For someone unfamiliar with it, it would certainly be difficult to distinguish the two.

However, unlike the cheap Yellow Lotus Essence, Blood Lotus Essence is a fifth-tier medicinal ingredient, one of the main components of the Blood Lotus Pill.

If obtained, taking it to trade with a high-level alchemist, exchanging it for a low-grade fourth-tier pill is no problem.

Upon entering Wan Yao Zhai, Lin Feng's nostrils were filled with the various medicinal aromas emanating from the myriad herbs.

Looking around, he noticed that the shop was illuminated by moonstones hung on the walls, as bright as daytime.

At this moment, the shop had considerable foot traffic, and the staff were all extremely busy, so for the time being no one greeted him.

However, Lin Feng paid no mind; instead, he continually searched the shop for the Blood Lotus Essence he wanted.

Soon, Lin Feng's eyes, through the transparent counter, fixed firmly on a pale yellow lump in the farthest corner.

He licked his lips, then walked nonchalantly up to the counter.

He lowered his head and examined that pale yellow medicinal material once more.

"Cough... could you please take this out for me?"

Slowly withdrawing his somewhat greedy and excited gaze, Lin Feng raised his head and smiled at a male shop assistant who had approached.

The young shop assistant who had been called over glanced sideways at the ordinarily dressed Lin Feng, then looked at the item he requested.

Upon discovering it was merely a low-grade piece of Yellow Lotus Essence, he immediately grew impatient, pursed his lips, and stiffly took it out from the counter: 'Yellow Lotus Essence, low-grade medicinal material, one hundred gold coins.'

Lin Feng didn't mind the shop clerk's condescending, dog-eyed attitude.

He snorted coldly in his heart and casually took hold of this piece considered the lowest-grade Yellow Lotus Essence.

His fingernail quietly made a light scratch on it, and the slightly yellowish surface split open a little.

It actually revealed a hint of a crimson as vivid as fresh blood.

Gazing at that faint crimson, Lin Feng felt great joy inside, then unconsciously touched his nose.

He took a deep sniff of the somewhat bloody, strange scent on his finger.

Instantly, deep in his eyes, an unusual gleam involuntarily appeared.

"I found it, Blood Lotus Essence!"

If Lin Feng hadn't read the original work, he wouldn't have been able to, based on his pharmaceutical knowledge from the past year, discover this.

No matter what, he would never have noticed that this inconspicuous little thing is actually a rare medicinal ingredient.

He suppressed his excitement, and under the clerk's impatient gaze, he casually played with the Blood Lotus Essence in his hand, then took out a cloth bag and handed it over.

After weighing it, the clerk nodded, then put away the gold coins and began attending to other customers.

Having packed his things, just as Lin Feng was about to leave, he noticed that a commotion had suddenly broken out at the medicine shop's entrance.

"Wow, it's actually Xiao Yixian!"

"So pretty, tsk tsk, her waist is really slim…"

"Idiot, do you want to die? Over half of the mercenaries in Blue Mountain Town have been treated by Xiao Yixian; be careful someone hears you, or they'll cut your tongue!"

Two men were standing not far from Lin Feng, talking in low voices.

When one of them said something somewhat teasing, his companion quickly grabbed him and hissed a reprimand.

"I was just joking… hehe, hehe…"

Apparently sensing the hostile glances around him, that man's face turned slightly pale, fully embarrassed as his companion pulled him to hastily flee the medicine shop.

Hearing that, Lin Feng also curiously moved closer.

Regarding Xiao Yixian, who is famed as the tiniest waist on the Battle Qi Continent, he was also very interested.

Squeezing to the front of the crowd, he clearly saw Xiao Yixian's face, surrounded by everyone.

The woman wore a set of pale white clothes; her looks may not be peerless, but she could be called a rare beauty.

Her faintly smiling cheeks exuded a fresh, ethereal aura; this unique aura instantly greatly enhanced her charm.

His gaze wandered over her body, finally settling on the willow waist bound by a green sash; looking at that waist too slender to be encircled by one hand, a flicker of astonishment flashed in Lin Feng's pupils.

Before him, Xiao Yixian had the most slender and delicate waist of all the women he had ever seen.

Clicking his tongue in amazement, he heard the clerk's low chuckle: "Xiao Yixian is a specially hired physician of our Myriad Medicines Hall; in Blue Mountain Town, who knows how many people like her; every time they go to the Magic Beast Mountain Range to gather herbs, if Xiao Yixian goes along, those mercenary groups will drive the price down to the lowest, and due to the limited spots, they often almost come to blows."

Gazing at the white-clothed woman already seated, treating the injured passersby, Lin Feng rubbed his chin.

He couldn't help but admit that the kind smile Xiao Yixian showed while treating the wounded was indeed very heart-moving.

No wonder those usually fierce mercenary big men, when facing her, become as docile as little sheep.

But he knew that this seemingly frail girl possessed a physique shocking to hear of on the Dou Qi Continent: the Calamity Poison Body!

However, though this physique is terrifying, it sometimes also makes people envious.

After all, if you possess the Calamity Poison Body, you only need to persistently take poison, and you can easily reach the Battle Sect realm that ordinary people find hard to attain—but after that...

Looking at the frail Xiao Yixian, Lin Feng also had some thoughts: if he could trick this Xiao Yixian... no, it's about becoming dual cultivators with Xiao Yixian.

Then, in a few years, he would have a Battle Sect expert as his backing.

In that case, even if he went to Heijiaoyu, he could still get by.
