"Are you okay?" the voice of a girl.
The young man saw a tarp exposed and looked at the grandfather he had seen first. Intimidated by the aura of the grandfather, the young man did not reply to the girl.
"Hello? I asked, are you okay? The chi in your dantian is so messed up, under such abnormal circumstances do you not feel anything?" said Mu Lian.
The young man was shocked because Mu Lian knew the state of his body. In addition to learning the sectarian martial arts, the young man also learned a skill that could hide the hereditary condition of his body.
No one would be able to see what was really happening to his body even though even a high-level cultivator, just for example the man standing next to the spicy-mouthed youth was also unaware of it.
Except for the Alchemist, because it was adapted from how an Alchemist made pills. Thus, an Alchemist must be very sensitive to this nurse.
The young man looked at Mu Lian in silence. He had not expected to meet an Alchemist. He also remembered someone who was lying weak because he had protected him.
"Greetings, my name is Xu Jing of the Xu clan. I didn't think you could see my body. This condition is already innate from birth, so I'm used to this chaotic dantian condition" Xu Jing said as she cupped her hands together.
"Hmm, that's interesting. I feel like your body is like a cauldron processing herbs," Mu Lian said enthusiastically. Mu Lian's remarks clarified Xu Jing's conjecture.
"O dear Alchemist, will you help me? I know I'm presumptuous, but I really want to ask for your help. Whatever I will pay to get the pills from you," Xu Jing said.
"Oh? What pill is it for you? Is not the condition of your body hereditary? As I recall there is no pill that can cure such a hereditary condition," Mu Lian continued, saying,
"To be honest, I learned Alchemy not too long ago. My knowledge is limited about your abnormal condition,"
"Actually this pill is for my seniors. He was exposed to the poison of a thousand seasons, so I wanted the Zhen pill and some internal pills," Xu Jing continued after a long period of silence,
"Maybe we also need some purification pills,"
"certain. What about the treasure? I'm sure you've got some treasure, haven't you?" mu Lian said as she observed Xu Jing's expression.
Xu Jing just kept quiet. After desperately trying to obtain the treasure, he had to hand it over just like that?
But the feeling simply disappeared after remembering his weakly lying senior. Xu Jing was going to give her whatever treasure she had, the thing was, the treasure she had obtained was that of her sect.
Get from working together. In order to use the treasure, Xu Jing had to ask his comrades for permission.
Xu Jing asked for permission to discuss the matter with his colleagues. The young man wanted to immediately return to his comrades until he was subconsciously followed by Master Yi.
"Pfft, HAHA! Seriously? I was just thinking of bartering with a treasure. Great idea!" ling Zizhou said. In this way, they did not have to bother fighting with the other groups.
"Lian. Come in, let us complete the transaction. Activate mimicry just in case. We don't know if the young man has any hidden intentions" Meng Zhi said.
Mu Lian nodded. Before entering, Mu Lian handed him a few bottles of internal pills and purification pills.
As for pill Zhen, Mu Lian handed him 2 bottles, considering the ingredients making him, Bird Zhen's heart, was rare.
Xu Jing returned with 2 young men and 1 middle-aged man. They returned 20 minutes later. The faces of his comrades looked extremely grim, anger radiating from their eyes.
When Xu Jing and his partner arrived where he and Mu Lian met, there was only Meng Zhi and Ling Zizhou there.
The middle-aged man's expression worsened, "Ah Jing, where's the wagon you were telling me about? You sure they didn't trick you?"
"Yes, senior. I'm sure that girl is an Alchemist. Where did the wagon go." Xu Jing said without continuing his words.
"No need to look for it, the transaction will be continued by us," Meng Zhi said stepping foot in.
The middle-aged man and the 2 young men who were beside Xu Jing immediately touched their jian which was still sheathed on their waists.
"Wow, wow. You guys want to buy pills from us or intend to attack us and take these pills forcibly?" said Ling Zizhou who also immediately pulled out his jian from the dimensional pouch.
"Please calm down, senior! Forgive us gentlemen!" said Xu Jing who was trying to melt the atmosphere.
"Gosh, I just want to show you the quality of these pills, that way we can discuss the exact price," Meng Zhi shook her head.
Meng Zhi could not blame them. They had already fought for an entire week so their fighting instincts were still high-leveled.
Just throw stones at them, guaranteed, they will consider the stone throw as an attitude of aggression and counter-attack.
Hearing Meng Zhi's words, the middle-aged man relaxed slightly but still held his weapon. Meng Zhi did not care about it and walked over to Xu Jing's group.
"It's a high quality internal pill, a medium quality purification pill and a superior quality Zhen pill," Meng Zhi said taking one grain from each bottle to show.
"!"
Xu Jing and his comrades could only fall silent. No words came out of their mouths for a while. Because according to them, the pills are also a treasure.
"We are willing to barter with you, please choose, this is a treasure we managed to collect for 7 days," said the middle-aged man immediately changed his attitude.
The man took out a few items; 5 jian with quite a unique aura, 3 qian with a unique aura as well, precious iron ores, magic stones as magic tool-making materials, etc, there were even 2 cauldrons among those items.
Xu Jing watched the grandfather who was appraising the cauldron in his hand in fear. It was fortunate that he managed to calm down his senior and did not create any trouble in front of this one grandfather.
After going through the discussion, the two sides agreed to exchange 2 bottles of Zhen pills, 5 bottles of purification pills and 15 bottles of internal pills for 2 jian and 1 precious qian as well as 2 cauldrons.
Xu Jing and his comrades had actually obtained some of these precious treasures by snatching them from the other groups, so they had to prepare their hearts to part with the precious treasures.
But at least, on this occasion, they got a precious pill that could save their comrades.
After completing the transaction, Xu Jing and his comrades resigned but suddenly, a wagon appeared out of empty air and a tall girl descended from the back of the wagon.
"Lian jie asked if there were any other groups like you around here," Xiaojia said flatly.
"...meaning?"
"That needs pills like you guys," Xiaojia explained.
Xu Jing and the middle-aged man stared at each other. But because there was so much to discuss, the middle-aged man finally had his comrades form a circle.
The content of the discussion is to determine which group will be submitted information. They consider groups that communicate frequently and that often clash with them.
As a result, the middle-aged man told Mu Lian and the others to go to the southeastern and southern mountains.
"I don't know for sure but last I saw, they went in that direction. I suggest you go to the groups I mentioned earlier because I can guarantee that they are honest people" said the middle-aged man.
After informing Mu Lian of the potential clients, Xu Jing and his colleagues left.
Different when he first came to the meeting location, now the expression of the middle-aged man and the other 2 Xu Jing colleagues was so excited.
The first reason was because they obtained pills of good quality, and the second was that they could retaliate, that is, help their friends.
...
"Hmm? HAHAHA, good, good! The man is getting stronger. Are there no pills of higher quality?" said a man with a wound in his right eye.
The wound was still fresh, the infection caused the crackle to swell. The petals that should have arisen were flat because the man's eyeball was crushed.
The reason why the wound in his eyes had not healed completely was the fatal wound on his stomach. By taking the low-level life pill, the healing process only centered on that wound on his stomach.
"There are no seniors. The pill that senior took was the last life pill," said a girl with a trembling voice.
"I told you not to give me those pills. After receiving the blow from the man I was sure that I would not survive, huft.
Did it get here? Though I was eager to meet the man and show off my development," said the man grimly but his eyes radiated pride at the loss of life at the hands of someone stronger than him.
The laws of this world are like that. So the man had no grudge against the man who had injured him like this. He was only sad because his cultivation journey had stopped here.
The man observed the girl and the young men accompanying him waiting for his death. His memories of training with the young man and the young man in front of him just appeared, signifying that the time was getting closer.
The man turned his eyes around. The walls of the 15-meter-tall cave have been their temporary home for the past few years.
The black and smooth surface that sometimes displayed the view of the night sky was always a consolation for him.
While enjoying the last moments of his life, the sound of the child's slurping makes him almost jump.
"Life pills, internal pills, body pills, purification pills, medium quality and above.we are willing to exchange them for your treasures!"
All who were there looked at each other and only realized after a young man ran from the mouth of the cave to tell everyone there that there was a cart passing in front of the cave they were in.
On the right and left sides of the cart flanked by 2 children aged 12 years and 2 young men. They are currently being detained by one of their colleagues.
"How's senior?" said the young man.
"Hows it? Of course we have to get those pills!" the man said he was filled with passion to live.
