Chapter 286: The Medicine Madman

"This place actually looks quite peaceful!"

Lingyun and Chen Jing walked along the street, which was lined with all sorts of stalls, and many people dressed in various garments were haggling. Although some argued until their faces turned red and their necks thickened, they all restrained themselves well and did not resort to violence.

"Of course, don't forget, this place was established by people from the Hidden Sect. There are countless experts within the Hidden Sect; if they were to fight here, it would be no different from provoking these experts. None of them have a death wish!" Chen Jing spread her hands.

"But outside the gathering, it isn't peaceful, right!" Lingyun said.

"That's right, the mountain ranges outside the gathering are the most dangerous places. Countless battles occur there every year, and the number of experts buried there is beyond counting. It is said that even Xiantian experts have fallen in that place!" Chen Jing said with a serious expression.

"It seems it really is a dangerous place!" Lingyun nodded slightly, but he did not take it to heart; after all, with his current strength, it wouldn't matter even if more Xiantian experts came.

"By the way, have there ever been battles involving experts above the Xiantian level?" Lingyun asked.

"Experts above the Xiantian level are the foundation of the major powers and would never act lightly! If such an expert takes action, it means things have reached a life-or-death point!" Chen Jing said.

"Have you ever seen such an expert?" Lingyun asked.

"What kind of joke are you making? How could I have ever seen such a big shot?" Chen Jing shook her head, then pointed to a spot ahead. "Look, our stall has arrived!"

"Young Miss!" Sitting in front of the stall was an elderly man. Seeing Chen Jing arrive, the old man stood up and bowed slightly to her.

"Thank you for your hard work, Old Liu!" Chen Jing showed a faint smile to the old man; it could be seen that she respected him very much.

Lingyun's gaze fell upon the old man, and a flash of sharpness crossed his eyes. Although the aura the old man revealed was only Xiantian Initial, in Lingyun's eyes, this old man had already taken that step and had one foot inside the Golden Core Realm. In this market, he could definitely be considered an expert.

"Lingyun, you said before that you were prepared to sell pills; what kind of pills are you actually prepared to sell?" Chen Jing was quite interested in what kind of pills Lingyun could produce.

"As for that, take a look!" Lingyun opened the backpack behind him; inside the bag were many different small porcelain bottles.

"This is... Blood Coagulation Pill?" Chen Jing opened one of the porcelain bottles and poured out a pill, observing it carefully. "Blood Coagulation Pills are the most popular pills in the market, but the refining methods for this kind of pill are held by the Hidden Sect and some powerful clans. I never expected that you, Lingyun, would actually know how to refine Blood Coagulation Pills?"

"Young Miss, could you let me see this Blood Coagulation Pill?" Old Liu, who was to the side, looked at the Blood Coagulation Pill in Lingqi's hand, a trace of suspicion flashing in the depths of his eyes.

"Ah, I forgot that you are also an Alchemist, Old Liu. Take a look and see how Lingyun refined this pill." Chen Jing placed the pill from her hand into Old Liu's hand.

Old Liu examined the Blood Coagulation Pill in his hand carefully, then let out an exclamation: "This, this is... a Supreme Blood Coagulation Pill?"

"Supreme Blood Coagulation Pill?" Chen Jing was also startled. "Old Liu, you aren't lying to me, are you!"

"I have been refining pills for many years and would absolutely not make a mistake in such a matter. This pill is indeed a Supreme Blood Coagulation Pill!" Old Liu nodded with a grave expression.

Blood Coagulation Pills are relatively common pills, and they are not particularly difficult to refine; as long as one has the pill formula, almost every Alchemist can refine them. But it is different if it is a Supreme Blood Coagulation Pill. A Supreme Blood Coagulation Pill is a pill that even Xiantian experts can use, and its value is extremely expensive!

"Lingyun, the pills in your bag right now, they wouldn't all be Supreme Blood Coagulation Pills, would they!" Chen Jing swallowed with some difficulty.

"No, about half of them," Lingyun said.

"Half?" Chen Jing looked at the large bag Lingyun had placed on the ground, her eyes full of shock. This bag could hold at least forty or fifty porcelain bottles, and each bottle contained ten pills; the quantity alone made one's scalp tingle just thinking about it.

"Supreme Blood Coagulation Pill? Where is there a Supreme Blood Coagulation Pill?" Just as Chen Jing was examining Lingyun's bag, a voice suddenly rang out.

Chen Jing looked up and saw that, in front of their stall, an unkempt old man had appeared out of nowhere. This old man's eyes were shining with intensity, staring fixedly at the Blood Coagulation Pill in Old Liu's hand.

"Old man Liu, you just said Supreme Blood Coagulation Pill, right? You saw a Supreme Blood Coagulation Pill?" The unkempt old man asked anxiously.

"Yao Fengzi, why are you here?" Old Liu frowned as he looked at the old man.

"Why I am here is not important; what is important is, is this thing in your hand really a Supreme Blood Coagulation Pill?" Yao Fengzi asked.

"That's right, it is indeed a Supreme Blood Coagulation Pill!" Old Liu nodded.

"Can you let me see it?" Yao Fengzi rubbed his hands together, looking at Old Liu with hope. "You know, one of the greatest wishes of my life is to see this legendary Supreme Blood Coagulation Pill."

Old Liu felt a chill from being stared at by him, then looked toward Lingyun, as he was, after all, the owner of the pills.

"Chen Jing, who is this Yao Fengzi?" Lingyun asked Chen Jing beside him.

"Senior Yao Fengzi, he is the famous Medicine King, a person who has personally taught several powerful Alchemists. But because his obsession with the path of alchemy has reached a near-mad state, some call him Yao Fengzi. Later, as more people called him by this name, people forgot his real name, and he has just been called Yao Fengzi ever since!" Chen Jing whispered to Lingyun.

Although Yao Fengzi was eccentric, he had lived for so long that his ability to read people was naturally not small. From Old Liu's action, he could see that the true owner of these pills was likely this young-looking man.

Yao Fengzi scratched his head, then revealed a kind smile toward Lingyun: "Little brother, can I take a look at the pills you are selling?"

"Please!" Lingyun made a gesture of invitation toward Yao Fengzi.

Seeing Lingyun agree, a look of joy appeared on Yao Fengzi's face, and he reached out to pick up a porcelain bottle from the small stall.

"Hiss, this is..." When he saw the pill inside the porcelain bottle, he couldn't help but gasp; the contents of this bottle were indeed also Supreme Blood Coagulation Pills.

Grasping the porcelain bottle in his hand, the corners of Yao Fengzi's mouth twitched. One must know that for a Xiantian expert, a Supreme Blood Coagulation Pill is an extremely precious medicine; everyone who possesses a Supreme Blood Coagulation Pill stores it carefully in an exquisite jade bottle. But now, these supreme pills were appearing in batches at an unremarkable little stall, and what's more, ten of them were packed into an ordinary porcelain bottle. This made him feel as if the world were somewhat unreal.

"Um, may I ask, which Master refined these pills?" Yao Fengzi asked.

"As for that, I cannot say!" Lingyun shook his head.

Regarding this situation, Yao Fengzi did not show any dissatisfaction; he himself knew that some Alchemists had strange temperaments. Not wanting to be famous was a very common thing.

Very quickly, the matter regarding the Alchemist was thrown to the back of his mind; for him right now, there was nothing more important than studying the Supreme Blood Coagulation Pill in his hand.
