Chapter 150: One Page of Pill Formula, Again Meeting Jiang Yuehuo

Two million one hundred thousand spirit stones?

Lin Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered to himself.

As for this price, he wasn't surprised.

After all, the medicinal herbs he needed were never cheap, and he had purchased a large quantity.

Besides needing to refine one Returning Origin Pill each for Li Yatou, Ye Yatou, and Zhou Xiaozi,

He also prepared an extra one in advance, getting ready for his future fourth disciple.

After all, based on his experience taking on the first three disciples, this fourth one was about to appear.

The female salesperson nearby, hearing Lin Yang's mutter, politely said, "Yes, young master."

"However, given that you have spent over two million spirit stones in a single transaction at the Four Seas Merchant Association, per their established rules we can offer you an eighty percent discount."

"This way, you actually only need to pay 1,680,000 spirit stones."

Lin Yang didn't bother with further pleasantries and simply said, "Then thanks."

Immediately.

He wasted no time, pulling out the ancient-looking Heavenly Dao Pill Manual from his bosom and said,

"If I exchange this pill formula for these herbs, would that be acceptable?"

The saleswoman heard this, narrowed her eyes, and stared intently at the Heavenly Dao Pill Manual in Lin Yang's hand for a moment.

She saw that the manual's cover bore a faint mysterious inscription aura, and her intuition told her it was certainly extraordinary.

Moreover.

Trading treasures for goods is itself one of the transaction methods permitted by the Four Seas Merchant Association.

Thus, she smiled and replied to Lin Yang, "Young master, of course it can."

"However, this pill formula needs to be verified by the Four Seas Merchant Association. If its value matches the price of the herbs, the exchange can naturally be made."

After all, the Heavenly Dao Pill Manual in Lin Yang's hand looked extremely weighty, requiring the Four Seas Merchant Association's Pill Elder to examine each page carefully to determine its true worth.

Lin Yang nodded lightly, without the slightest hesitation, and then opened the Heavenly Dao Pill Manual.

Only a 'crack' sound was heard.

He casually tore out a page from the Heavenly Dao Pill Manual, handed it to the saleswoman, and said, "Alright, take it for evaluation."

Seeing this, the saleswoman froze, her face full of surprise as she asked, "Young master, just… one page?"

She had originally thought he would trade the entire manual, but never imagined he would only tear out a single page.

What value could this single page possibly have?

Seeing the saleswoman's reaction, Lin Yang remained calm and said indifferently, "If we were to exchange the whole manual, I fear your Four Seas Merchant Association couldn't afford the price."

"Besides, I don't intend to trade the whole manual either."

After all, he still planned to use pill refining to while away his lax cultivation life, and truly hated to part with the entire manual.

Upon hearing this.

The saleswoman sucked in a breath of cold air, inwardly disagreeing with Lin Yang's words.

You should know that the Four Seas Merchant Association in the Three Provinces is merely a branch.

The true Four Seas Merchant Association has profound reserves and strength beyond imagination—what treasure could it not swallow?

Thus, the person before her seemed rather arrogant.

Lin Yang also didn't care what she thought; seeing her dazed, he couldn't help urging, "Don't just stand there—quickly have your people evaluate it."

"Oh, okay." The saleswoman finally reacted, hurriedly taking the pill formula Lin Yang handed over and said, "However, the exchange must be assessed by the Chamber's high-level officials before being submitted to the President for his personal signature."

"Currently, the President is out and hasn't returned yet, so you may need to wait a while, young master, before you can take the goods."

Lin Yang nodded and said, "That's fine."

Afterward.

He then calmly took out ten thousand spirit stones from his storage ring, handed them to the saleswoman, and instructed, "Reserve a private room for me at the Lion King Bone auction the Four Seas Merchant Association will hold in three days."

After all, for this medicine purchase he had gotten everything he needed except a Lion King Bone.

However, the Four Seas Merchant Association does have Lion King Bones in stock, but they aren't for sale; they will be auctioned off in three days.

Thus, he wasn't in a rush to leave the Three Provinces and could wait a bit.

The saleswoman promptly replied, "Yes, I will make sure everything is ready for you, young master."

Afterward.

The saleswoman then handed Lin Yang a sound-transmitting jade slip, saying, "By the way, this is the Four Seas Merchant Association's sound-transmitting jade slip; we will contact you through it once the pill formula's evaluation is complete."

Lin Yang nodded, took the jade slip, and then turned and left the Four Seas Merchant Association.

But as he had just stepped out the doorway, not paying attention, he bumped into a hurried young married woman.

That young woman was equally unprepared, and the collision nearly knocked her to the ground.

Lin Yang, quick-eyed and quick-handed, swiftly reached out to support her waist, stabilizing her posture.

"I'm really sorry, miss; I was walking too fast and didn't notice you."

Lin Yang said with an apologetic expression.

However.

The young woman whose waist Lin Yang had caught stared wide-eyed, her face full of disbelief as she looked at him.

"Is… is it you?"

This young woman was no one else—it was Jiang Yuehuo, the young woman who had previously fought Lin Yang over the Leopard Pattern Fruit.

Hearing Jiang Yuehuo's familiar voice, Lin Yang also froze, instinctively looking at the young woman he was holding.

"How could it be you?"

He never expected to run into her at the entrance of the Four Seas Merchant Association.

Jiang Yuehuo felt Lin Yang's arm around her waist, their faces close, and that warmth struck her heart.

Such a scene was exactly like the hero-saving-the-beauty episode in a storybook.

She was grinning foolishly, nodding vigorously and saying, "Mm-hmm, it's me, it's really me."

Recalling how Lin Yang's domineering words had deeply captivated her in the valley, and now this "hero saves the beauty" scene unfolded, her heart felt as if filled with honey.

She was wholly immersed in this sweet fantasy, even involuntarily calling out, "Brother..."

Then.

She slowly closed her eyes, making a kissing gesture, shyly awaiting Lin Yang's kiss.

Lin Yang, seeing Jiang Yuehuo act this way, instantly furrowed his brows and felt a surge of annoyance.

He then involuntarily loosened his grip.

"Are you sick?"

"Clang!"

Jiang Yuehuo, completely unprepared, fell flat on her face, looking extremely embarrassed.

Her beautiful fantasies shattered instantly; she said shyly with a hint of blame, "Bro... brother, what are you doing?"

Lin Yang gave Jiang Yuehuo a speechless glance and said lightly, "Nothing."

Having said that,

He then lifted his leg to leave.

Jiang Yuehuo, seeing this, hurriedly got up from the ground and quickly stepped forward to block Lin Yang's path.

Her hand naturally fell on Lin Yang's shoulder as she asked coquettishly, "What are you doing here? Are you buying something? Tell me what you need, and I'll give it to you."

Lin Yang felt goosebumps all over, ruthlessly brushed off Jiang Yuehuo's arm, and shouted.

"Get lost!"

"If you keep blocking my way, I'll stomp you into a pancake."

He then strode out of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.

Jiang Yuehuo stood there, gazing dreamily at Lin Yang's back, her face lit with a sweet smile as she said, "Hehehe, Brother's words are always so domineering; I really like it."

"Come on, since Brother wants to step on me, then step on me hard, trample me under your feet."

"Kill me."

However, Lin Yang had already walked far away and didn't hear these ridiculous words at all.

Just then.

The female sales attendant who had earlier received Lin Yang hurriedly came out; seeing Jiang Yuehuo's strange, flirtatious behavior at the entrance, her expression instantly tightened.

She then respectfully said, "President, you're back?!"
