Chapter 4: Prescription

By this time, Kang Jun was helped up by his companions, his face vicious, staring at the direction Lu Fan disappeared for a long time.

The current situation was not something he could solve. Only Liu Yang could help him reclaim the humiliation Lu Fan had given him.

Thinking of this, Kang Jun greeted his companions and fled in a sorry state.

Lu Fan left the Spirit Medicine Pavilion and went to five or six shops in a row, but none of them could gather the herbs.

Several servants even said directly that he was playing tricks and drove him out!

"No choice, I'll have to try my luck at Caizhi Zhai. It's the largest herb shop on Secret Spirit Street, and they even have Magic Beast Crystal Cores. Don't let me down again!"

Caizhi Zhai was not much wider than the Spirit Medicine Pavilion, and the decoration was the same, even slightly dilapidated.

However, in this dilapidation, it was exceptionally ancient, and it must have been around for a long time.

The air was filled with the rich fragrance of herbs, and even a slight sniff made people feel refreshed. It was worthy of being the largest herb shop on Secret Spirit Street.

Lu Fan's eyes brightened, and he regained his interest, walking straight up and handing over the prescription in his hand.

"Servant! Get the medicine!"

His voice was not loud, but exceptionally clear, as if smashing into the depths of the mind. More than a dozen servants in the hall raised their heads, each slightly surprised.

This kind of bearing could only be possessed by those talented students who practiced behind closed doors in the academy, but the other party's cultivation and age didn't look like it!

"This prescription is strange? Five-Flower Powder, Blood Snake Fruit—these things have too much Yin energy. We Martial Artists avoid them in the past, so why would we easily touch them?"

"This prescription is not for body-tempering at all. Even if gathered, I'm afraid it won't be of much use, and it might even harm the body. Senior, it's better not to touch it!"

The person greeting Lu Fan was a youth of eighteen or nineteen.

Although he was older than Lu Fan, seeing Lu Fan's bearing, he didn't dare to be slow and still called Lu Fan Senior. Clearly, he was also a student of Tianyuan Academy, where Martial Dao is respected.

"I remember, not long ago, a strange prescription appeared in the shop, which was a Yin-evil poison prescription, and it included this Blood Snake Fruit."

"Although I don't know what this prescription is for, it definitely cannot be for body-tempering!"

The youth shook his head and placed the yellowed note in front of Lu Fan, clearly unwilling to get the medicine for Ye Fei.

Lu Fan was anxious now. The previous shops said they didn't have it, and it was rare to find someone who recognized a few herbs, clearly capable of matching them. It was just that the other party was unwilling to get the medicine, which was a bit difficult.

It was just that this person was advising him with good intentions, so he couldn't get angry, just frowned and glanced at him sideways. "Just get the medicine according to the prescription, why so much nonsense!", his calm voice carried a hint of displeasure.

Lu Fan said this, and the youth was at a loss.

Just then, an old man in a Confucian robe walked over, clearly disturbed by Lu Fan's words just now.

He asked the youth a few questions, then picked up the prescription, took only a glance, and his face was shocked, looking at Lu Fan unexpectedly.

"Little brother, where did you get this prescription?"

Lu Fan was prepared and said very calmly, "Obtained by chance from an anonymous ancient book in the academy's library. Please take a look, shopkeeper. If there's no problem, get the medicine according to the prescription!"

The old man was slightly surprised, immediately looked at it carefully again, and after a while, sighed quietly.

"Although these few herbs have heavy Yin properties, they are the guides for many fierce medicines. They can actually be mixed together; it seems there is some truth to it."

"If matched with the appropriate decoction method, the toxicity between them can neutralize each other, turning into a gentle medicinal liquid!"

Lu Fan's eyes brightened. It seemed that Caizhi Zhai also had capable people! The prescription he had concocted in his past life was actually explained by this old man with three or four points of mystery. It seemed that Caizhi Zhai was indeed extraordinary.

"Little brother, the old man has a presumptuous request. Can you part with this prescription and the unique decoction method? The price is negotiable!"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, he looked at Ye Fei nervously, clearly valuing this body-tempering prescription very much.

"Part with it? How can this be? The rules of Secret Spirit Street, regardless of cultivation level, all shops must not ask about the origins of visiting students."

"This herb shop has always been getting medicine according to the prescription. How can there be any reason to ask and extort?" A student heard the old man's words and was slightly shocked.

These words were like a thunderclap on the ground. The students around were all stunned. They didn't expect Caizhi Zhai to have such rules. They all clutched their pockets tightly, fearing that others would peek at their secrets.

The old man frowned, then said very embarrassedly, "Little friend, this is indeed against the rules, but..."

Lu Fan waved his hand, immediately interrupting the other party, and said indifferently, "No matter, it's just a body-tempering prescription. As long as the price is right, giving it to the shopkeeper is nothing."

Lu Fan didn't have half a sentence of nonsense, straight to the point. While speaking, he had a nonchalant attitude.

This kind of body-tempering prescription, he could take out a hundred or eighty at will, so what was the big deal.

"What? Little brother is really willing to part with this prescription to the old man?" The old man had an look of disbelief.

He had just said it in a hurry, thinking he was being abrupt. But seeing Ye Fei's relaxed and casual attitude, he finally realized, his old face blushing, full of joy, and couldn't wait to say.

"A Blood Condensation Realm body-tempering prescription is worth a thousand gold. Since little brother came here to get medicine, I think this prescription has miraculous effects for Gathering Essence Realm Martial Warriors."

"According to the market price, five thousand gold coins, what do you think?"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, everyone around opened their mouths wide, with looks of disbelief, and began to discuss.

"A prescription is actually worth five thousand gold coins. This kid is really lucky. Why didn't I know there were such prescriptions in the library?"

"Hehe, the Dean once said that the library contains everything, hiding all the wonderful methods in the world, but the volumes are vast, and only those with fate can obtain them!"

The youth regretted it endlessly. He originally thought the yellowed note was useless. Hearing this price, his eyes widened, and his mind turned rapidly.

A body-tempering prescription worth five thousand gold coins, even without the decoction method, would be worth a hundred or eighty gold coins. Why didn't I take a few more looks at the time? Five-Flower Powder, Blood Snake Fruit, and what else...

"Five thousand gold coins?" Lu Fan was slightly stunned. The Ye Family left 'him' at Tianyuan Academy and only gave him two hundred gold coins a year.

You know, the annual tuition of Tianyuan Academy was only fifty gold coins.

"Why? Little brother thinks it's too little? A Gathering Essence Realm body-tempering prescription starts at three thousand gold coins."

"This prescription is a bit strange, and its value is indeed higher. The old man will add another thousand, hoping little brother will part with it!" The old man clearly saw some mystery and was determined to get this prescription.

Lu Fan's expression was calm, looking nonchalant. For him, let alone five thousand gold coins, even fifty thousand or five hundred thousand made no difference. As a peak Martial Dao expert and World Lord in his past life, how could he care about worldly wealth?

This appearance fell into the old man's eyes, and he thought Lu Fan was still dissatisfied. He gritted his teeth, added another two thousand with a bitter face, a full eight thousand gold coins, stunning everyone around.

Lu Fan waved his hand and said lightly, "This prescription is just an ordinary thing. Lu Fan doesn't care about it. You just need to provide me with herbs for a month."

"By then, this prescription will have no value to me, and the decoction method will be yours."

The Confucian-robed old man was slightly stunned, couldn't help but shake his head, thinking he had misheard. Only when he saw the stunned look of the people around did he understand.

"Is this true? Although this prescription is unique, the herbs are ordinary. You've suffered a big loss..."

This old man was also kind, actually wanting to remind Lu Fan. Before he finished speaking, he was immediately interrupted by Lu Fan.

"First bring ten sets of herbs, I'm very busy!" Lu Fan waved his hand, slightly impatient.

In a moment, a bulging package was placed in front of Lu Fan. Only then did a hint of joy appear in his eyes, and he turned and left.

Since the herbs had been obtained, it was time to start practicing.

"Little friend, the old man's surname is Guo. Don't forget our agreement!"

"Got it!"

This scene fell into everyone's eyes, and everyone found it incredible. Some envied Lu Fan's good luck in the library, and some called him a fool.

This kind of body-tempering prescription, one month was not enough. Without three or five months, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to step out of a small realm! He had missed a huge opportunity in vain. ===== CHAPTER 5 =====
