DRAGON EMPEROR

CHAPTER 9 Mu Lan

The round-faced salesman blushed with excitement as he stuttered, “y-ya, we have a Superior First Level spiritual weapon. Please give me a minute and I'll take it for you.”

The round-faced salesman ran to the back of the shop right after he finished his sentence. He returned after a while with a few burly men carrying four to five spiritual weapons.

“Young Master, this is a Superior First Level spiritual weapon. Please look, this is Aqua Fall Sword.”

The round-faced salesman took out a long sword and unsheathed it.

The blade was 1.5 meters long, the blade was quite thin, with a body like a clear spring, giving off a continuous gust of water vapor.

“Good sword!” Lu Ming's eyes twinkled.

If there was a comparison between Lu Mei's Aqua Fall Sword and Lu Mei's Light Breeze Sword, Lu Mei's Light Breeze Sword would feel like trash.

Even so, Lu Ming shook his head because the nature of this sword did not match his martial arts techniques, and continued to search.

He traced a few more.

Clangs!

The latter was named the Onyx Blade Sword, its sword body was sparkling black, like it was made of black jade, and there was a gleam on both sides of the sword signifying its sharpness.

“This is it.”

There was a flash of light in Lu Ming's eyes as he asked, “store guards, how much does it cost?”

“Your eyes are good, Young Master. This Onyx Blade Sword is a gem even within this First Level Superior spiritual weapon collection, so I will not give you an unreasonable price, just three thousand taels will suffice,” replied the round-faced saleswoman.

"Deal!" Lu Ming took out six silver banknotes worth five hundred taels each without hesitation and gave them to the round-faced saleswoman. After all it was money taken from the Psammophic Pirates, so Lu Ming did not mind at all.

Beside him, Lu Bing's face darkened. Lu Mei looked towards the Light Wind Sword she held in her hand, then glanced enviously at Lu Ming's Onyx Sword.

The round-faced salesman blushed with excitement. A deal worth three thousand taels of silver, how much commission would he earn?

The other salespeople stared at the round-faced saleswoman expectantly with overwhelming regret in their hearts. If only they knew how busy Lu Ming was, that round-faced saleswoman would never stand a chance.

Wish remains a wishful thinking because it is too late. All they could do was remind themselves to never judge a book by its cover again.

Lu Ming took the Onyx Sword Sect in one hand, and grabbed Qiu Yue's hand in the other. As he passed by Lu Bing, Lu Ming looked towards Lu Mei's Light Wind Sword and said, “Junk like this suits your wishes?”

When he finished, he walked out the door laughing out loud.

“Lu Ming!”

Lu Bing clenched his teeth so tightly that his complexion became greatly changed.

“Young Master, it's very satisfying. Lu Bing, and Lu Mei have always underestimated us and now they feel the cure themselves.”

Outside the Heavenly Army Pavilion, Qiu Yue chirped in excitement, swinging his small fist into the air.

Lu Ming smiled. To be honest, he did not care about Lu Bing at all, his target was Lu Yao.

Walking around the market, Qiu Yue accepted everything with her eyes wide open.

The items sold in the market were expensive, and since, over the years, Qiu Yue did not visit her often, it was only natural that she was very interested.

Lu Ming accompanied Qiu Yue for a while, then he gave Qiu Yue a silver banknote worth two hundred taels while saying, “Qiu Yue, use this to buy some groceries and necessities. There's something I have to do, so wait for me here when you're done.”

“Young Master, what should I say if Miss asks where do I get the money from?” qiu Yue asked.

“Hmm, just tell mom that I found a spiritual grass outside the boundary of the Beast Mountain and sold it for some money,” Lu Ming replied after giving it some thought.

Qiu Yue nodded and said, “ alright, Young Master, I will leave.”

Qiu Yue saved the money and ran happily to shop.

He wanted to buy another Dragon Tiger pill, and some health enhancing pills for Qiu Yue.

The one who served him, once again, was Mu Lan.

“Dear guests, you are here again?” said Mu Lan while laughing coyly as she looked at Lu Ming.

“How do you know it's me? I haven't even spoken,” Lu Ming said with his voice deliberately lowered.

While giggling, Mu Lan walked towards Lu Ming and teased, “that's because of your scent, I always knew it was you from your scent.”

As he spoke, his delicate button nose sniffed the air around Lu Ming.

Heart pounding, Lu Ming could barely remain calm as he replied, “Hall Master Mu, I am here today to purchase the Dragon Tiger Pill.”

Mu Lan looked at Lu Ming and said, “Dear guest, why hurry, or you don't want to meet me!”

“No, you misunderstood, Hall Master Mu, there are other things I have to take care of.” Lu Ming hurriedly waved his hand. He really wanted to get out of here as quickly as possible, because he could not handle a person like Mu Lan.

“Heh heh, well then, how much do you want to buy?” Mu Lan asked with an alluring smile.

“One hundred and twenty First Level Dragon Tiger Pills Are mediocre and thirty Health Enhancer Pills,” replied Lu Ming.

"What's? That much?”

This time, both Mu Lan and her servant experienced shock in their lives.

"Why? Hall Master Mu, does Elixir Hall not have that much?” Lu Ming frowned.

He needs to get more for the two remaining divine meridians, which will be harder for us to open.

Mu Lan glanced at Lu Ming deeply, her smile reappeared and said, “Yes, of course. Xiao Ye, prepare the pills.”

Xiao Ye nodded and came out, and a moment later, he returned with a few boxes.

One hundred and twenty First Level Dragon Tiger Pills were mediocre and thirty Health Recovery Pills.

“Dear guests, one hundred and twenty Mediocre First Level Dragon Tiger Pills will cost thirty two thousand four hundred taels after a ten percent discount, then we take thirty-two thousand. In addition, thirty Health Charging Pills are at home, take them as a gift from me, ” Mu Lan said.

“Thank you, Mr. Hall Mu.”

Lu Ming took the pill, paid for it, and after cupping his hands as a sign of courtesy and gratitude, he immediately left Elixir Hall.

“Nona, this guy is very interesting! It had only been ten days less, and he was done with the Dragon Tiger Pill he had bought earlier? Or did he buy it for many people to use together?”

After Lu Ming left, the servant Xiao Ye asked curiously.

“I can't confirm it, but I feel his aura has gotten stronger since the last time he came here, it's really very interesting. You live here, I want to find out for myself who is that handsome young man of the Fire City family?

After that arrangement, Mu Lan came out and disappeared like the wind.

Not far from the Elixir Hall, Lu Ming took off his black hat and robe in a secluded place, and stored it together with the Dragon Tiger Pill within the Supreme Temple. He then headed to the place where he agreed with Qiu Yue, found her, and returned with her.

Unfortunately, they were stopped by Lu Bing and his two men in an empty alley.

Li Bing's face was grim with emotion. He looked at Lu Ming and growled, “you finally decided to return, Lu Ming. I've been waiting for you."

“A-what do you want?” Qiu Yue subconsciously hid Lu Ming behind him.

“Lu Ming, you trash,” sneer Lu Bing, “you dare to humiliate me in front of many people? You obviously don't know what's good for you. I'll give you a chance. Give me all the money you have, kneel before the Lu Family Gate, and shout 'I'm trash' three times and I'll let you go.”

Lu Ming with a faint smile, agreed with him, “you ARE trash.”

“A-what did you just say? You dare insult me? I will change my name if I let you go without breaking your mouth,” roared Lu Bing.
