Chapter 15: I Want All the Blood Qi Pills from the Fragrant Herb Hall!

Fang... boss!

The news that Yun Wan personally promised to give the blood food shop to Fang Xu spread quickly, and the old manager and two assistants in the shop also received the information.

At this moment, seeing Fang Xu arrive, the three hurriedly fawned and came forward.

"Boss, taking over this shop, how do you plan to run it?" the old manager asked cautiously.

Operate?

Fang Xu said nothing, glanced at the blood food in the shop, his mind stirred, and he asked: "How much blood food is left in the shop?"

The old manager quickly replied: "Boss, there are still two thousand catties of blood food, all fresh!"

Done!

This system is really interesting, saying two thousand catties means exactly two thousand catties, not giving even a bit more.

Two thousand catties is two thousand catties then.

"You two, take all this blood food to my home."

"After moving the blood food, let's temporarily close the shop."

He didn't plan to interfere in this business, so he wanted to sell the blood food shop as soon as possible, before Yun Wan left Maple Forest Town and someone else snatched it away.

But the problem is, who should he sell the shop to?

After a moment's thought, a suitable candidate suddenly appeared in his mind.

Leaving the blood food shop, Fang Xu went straight to the Hall of Reaching Far in town.

Maple Forest Town originally had three martial masters, but now that Zhang Hong is dead, only two remain; the Wu Clan controls the entire town's blood qi pill and medicinal ingredients trade, and Fang Xu's first thought was to sell the blood food shop to Lu Zhiyuan.

The Hall of Reaching Far in Maple Forest Town has no other businesses, and with Lu Zhiyuan's cultivation at the third tier of martial master, he can also guard this blood food trade.

More importantly, Fang Xu felt Lu Zhiyuan was more reliable than the Wu Clan.

"Little Fang, are you looking for Master Li?" Li Yunshan asked with a smile at the gate of the Hall of Reaching Far.

Fang Xu slightly cupped his fists: "Big Brother Li, is Master Lu in?"

Li Yunshan nodded, then added somewhat enviously:

"I heard you picked up a great bargain for free today?"

"In the future, when I go to buy blood food, you'd better give me a discount."

Fang Xu quickly replied with a smile: "Certainly."

Saying that, he walked into the Hall of Reaching Far.

In the inner court of the Hall of Reaching Far, Lu Zhiyuan stood with his hands behind his back watching a girl practice spearplay; the figure in red clothing wielded a seven-foot spear, her movements expansive, her spear technique extremely exquisite, giving the sense of "a hint of cold light, then the spear bursts forth like a dragon."

"Master Lu." Fang Xu stepped forward and performed a respectful salute.

Lu Zhiyuan nodded slightly, waited for the girl to lower her spear, then greeted Fang Xu to come forward.

"But have you encountered difficulties in refining your viscera?"

Fang Xu slightly shook his head and cupped his fists: "Refining my viscera is fine; I came today to discuss a business with Master Lu."

Business?

Lu Zhiyuan heard the words, pondered briefly, then chuckled: "Are you preparing to sell that blood food shop to me?"

Maple Forest Town is small; a little matter like this spreads quickly throughout the town, and Lu Zhiyuan obviously knew about it as well.

"Master Lu, aren't you interested?" Fang Xu asked.

Lu Zhiyuan said nothing, paced slowly while thinking for a moment, then said: "I am willing to pay one thousand taels of silver to buy that shop; what do you think?"

The system had already offered this price of one thousand taels of silver, but Fang Xu still wanted to strive for some extra benefit for himself.

"Okay, but I have a small request," Fang Xu said after thinking.

Lu Zhiyuan nodded: "Go ahead."

"I want to ask Master Lu for a privilege: when I buy blood food from him in the future, I could get a half-price discount."

Martial practitioners rely on large amounts of blood food to nourish their bodies; if they could obtain a half-price discount, over time they could save a considerable amount of wealth.

"Heh..." Upon hearing his request, Lu Zhiyuan laughed.

The girl beside him, Lu Qingluo, couldn't help but purse her lips; just as she was about to speak, Lu Zhiyuan interrupted: "I agree to your request."

"Qingluo, go have Yunshan fetch one thousand taels of silver."

Fang Xu hadn't expected Lu Zhiyuan to be so straightforward; his straightforwardness even made him regret not pressing the discount down to thirty percent, or even ten percent...

Li Yunshan quickly delivered one thousand taels of silver to Lu Zhiyuan, but this silver was not physical; it was a banknote usable throughout the Great Yu Dynasty.

After receiving the banknote, Lu Zhiyuan handed it to Fang Xu, saying: "The money is yours, but you also need to write me an agreement, so the Yun Clan won't come looking for trouble later."

Fang Xu tucked the banknote into his bosom and smiled: "That's only natural."

……

Leaving the Hall of Reaching Far, Fang Xu patted the banknote in his chest, feeling its weight.

Today's events turned out somewhat beyond his expectations.

He had merely been preparing to go buy some blood qi pills on the street, never expecting to encounter these things.

Right!

Zhang Mingliang, Xie Xiaoqi, and Liang San are dead; that friend list……

His consciousness sank into the sea of awareness, and Fang Xu suddenly discovered that in the friend list, the names of Zhang Mingliang and the other two had turned gray, and the percentage numbers after their names had all become "0"!

Life points?

Fang Xu's expression turned strange as he muttered.

Could it be that the percentage number after each friend's name on the friend list represents their life points?

Staring at the remaining sixty-one percent of Wu Ningxue and thirty-nine percent of Chu Li, Fang Xu frowned slightly.

Looking at it this way, whether it's Wu Ningxue of the Fragrant Herb Hall or Chu Li, their remaining days are not many!

Only the number after Wang Erhu's name had already dropped from 91% to 88%.

This drop is really too fast, isn't it?

Fang Xu felt a bit doubtful.

It's only been two days since I became friends with Wang Erhu, and his life value has already dropped by 3%; at this rate, at most two or three months, this Wang Erhu will also be done for.

Not bad luck.

The few friends randomly selected are actually this capable!

Fang Xu excitedly rubbed his hands, already calculating what inheritance he could obtain after Wu Ningxue and Chu Li die.

Carrying a 1,000-tael silver note, he went to Xie Xiaoqi's home; Fang Xu took out the five taels of private money hidden in his pillow, then went straight to Fragrant Refreshment Hall, preparing to buy some Blood Qi Pills to take back.

"Little Brother Fang has arrived." At Fragrant Refreshment Hall, Chu Li saw Fang Xu and warmly greeted him.

"Uncle Li, how many Blood Qi Pills does Fragrant Refreshment Hall have now? I'll take them all!"

Now Fang Xu, just like Zhang Mingliang a dozen days ago, spoke these words with great arrogance.

Chu Li stared at him, astonished, then excitedly said: "Young Master Fang, please wait a moment; this old man will go fetch the proprietor."

Not long after Chu Li left, Wu Ningxue came to Fang Xu, swaying her waist.

"Young Master Fang, your gracious visit brings glory to our humble hall."

Hearing Wu Ningxue's slightly teasing tone, Fang Xu gave an embarrassed laugh:

"Aunt Wu, don't tease me."

"May I ask, Aunt Wu, how many Blood Qi Pills does Fragrant Refreshment Hall have in stock?"

Wu Ningxue didn't answer, just smiled and gestured with her hand: "Young Master Fang, may you come to the elegant room for a chat?"

To the elegant room?

Fang Xu's heart stirred; he had roughly guessed Wu Ningxue's plan.

"If Aunt Wu, you're thinking about that Blood Food Stall, then I can only say sorry." As he spoke, he took out the 1,000-tael silver note from his pocket and said: "I've already sold the Blood Food Stall to Master Lu."

"Lu Zhiyuan?" Wu Ningxue's eyebrows furrowed slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing across her face: "Fang family boy, that Lu Zhiyuan is just an outsider; you actually didn't first tell Aunt Wu about such a good thing?"

Fang Xu scratched his head without speaking; Wu Ningxue, seeing his state, also knew the matter was settled, saying further would be pointless, and immediately said: "Fragrant Refreshment Hall still has seventy Blood Qi Pills, sincerely offering them for seven hundred taels of silver."

"Aunt Wu still owes me one Blood Qi Pill." Seeing Wu Ningxue being stubborn, Fang Xu also refused to back down.

I spend my money to buy things, yet I have to suffer this anger for no reason?

"You…" Wu Ningxue's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, then she angrily said: "Uncle Li, collect six hundred ninety taels from him!"

Fang Xu curled his lip, not bothering to argue with ordinary people.
