Ling Xiao had no interest in other people's family affairs, but he was still a little happy inside.
When he was still a beggar, Ling Yu bullied him because he had no money and no power.
Later, when he entered the Ling family, Ling Yu abandoned him because he had no money and couldn't buy so many pills to improve his strength.
Today, he had a huge sum of money in his hands and could come to the medicine hall to buy what he wanted. He wondered how Ling Yu would feel if she heard this.
"Martial Uncle, please give me a Heart Protection Pill, a Meridian Protection Pill, a Breakthrough Pill, and ten Qi Gathering Pills!"
Most of the people in the medicine hall were old people. The one standing behind the counter was Ling Xiao's Martial Uncle in terms of seniority.
"Aiyo, isn't this Ling Xiao? I've already prepared today's medicinal dregs for you."
This old man was definitely not mocking Ling Xiao, but was genuinely concerned about Ling Xiao.
In the past, Ling Xiao would come to collect medicinal dregs almost every day. Before he met this Martial Uncle, he was always humiliated and made things difficult for him.
However, things were different after he met this Martial Uncle. This old man would always prepare medicinal dregs for him and wait for him to collect them.
"Martial Uncle, I don't want medicinal dregs today. I want Breakthrough Pills, Heart Protection Pills, Meridian Protection Pills, and Qi Gathering Pills. These are the things I want."
Originally, some of the Ling family disciples who came to buy pills or receive treatment thought they had misheard Ling Xiao's words and didn't pay much attention to him.
But this time, Ling Xiao said it again.
They finally heard it clearly.
They all looked at Ling Xiao with strange gazes.
"Hehehe, Brother Feng, that pauper actually said he wanted to buy pills. What a joke!"
Ling Yu couldn't help but laugh. In her opinion, Ling Xiao had really lost his mind.
Even she couldn't afford those pills, let alone Ling Xiao.
"The things he wants add up to eight thousand taels of silver. He really dares to brag!"
Ling Feng also sneered disdainfully.
Eight thousand taels of silver, even if it was him, he could only earn that much in a month, and this was only because he had a good father.
What was Ling Xiao?
How could a mere foreign disciple with a dying old beggar at home have so much money?
"Little guy, you're rich?"
The old man behind the counter asked with a smile.
"Martial Uncle, I made a trip to the Dragon Submission Mountain Range these few days. I was lucky enough to gather some herbs and even killed a few demonic beasts. I have quite a lot of silver on me now."
As he spoke, Ling Xiao took out the materials for the Meridian Shielding Pill, Heart Shielding Pill, and Breakthrough Pill. He handed them over and said, "Martial Uncle, here's the exchange method for these three pills. As for the Qi Amassing Pill, just buy it with money."
Under the dumbfounded gazes of the crowd, Ling Xiao spent 5,300 taels of silver and three sets of alchemy materials to obtain what he wanted.
Ling Yu's laughter stopped abruptly.
Ling Feng's disdain turned into surprise.
"Given his strength, how could he enter the Dragon Submission Mountain Range and hunt demonic beasts?"
Ling Yu and Ling Feng were inexplicably shocked.
It wasn't just because Ling Xiao had become rich. It was also because Ling Xiao could actually retreat from the Dragon Submission Mountain Range unscathed.
One must know that although the family didn't have any mandatory rules, they generally didn't recommend martial artists below the fourth level of the Martial Vein to enter the Dragon Submission Mountain Range.
If they had to go, they had to maintain a group of at least ten people. Moreover, they had to be led by a martial artist at the peak of the third level of the Martial Vein.
More importantly, intelligence was active at the edges.
Until today, Ling Feng and Ling Yu had never been to the Dragon Submission Mountain Range.
Because they had money, they could ask for it from their family and didn't have to risk their lives.
At this moment, they felt as though they had been defeated by Ling Xiao and revealed an extremely awkward expression.
"Good lad, you've really struck it rich. You've improved! Great, Martial Uncle will get the medicine for you! "
"Oh right, Martial Uncle, give me another 100 pieces of Jinchuang Ointment and 10 bottles of healing pills …"
Ling Xiao suddenly recalled that if he frequently went to the Dragon Submission Mountain Range, he would definitely get injured easily. There were Jinchuang Ointment for external injuries and healing pills for internal injuries. Moreover, these things weren't very expensive.
Of course, this was only for martial artists.
To ordinary people, these things were still sky-high prices.
Because one piece of Jinchuang Ointment was one tael of silver, 100 pieces would be 100 taels of silver. A bottle of healing pills would be 100 pills worth 100 taels of silver. 10 bottles would be 1000 taels of silver.
If this was in the past, Ling Xiao wouldn't even dare to think about it. But now, he could easily buy it.
This was the difference between them.
"Alright, no problem!"
After the transaction was completed, Ling Xiao nodded slightly at Ling Feng and Ling Yu before leaving. Then, he smiled.
Looking at the two liver-colored faces, he was very happy in his heart.
However, he didn't laugh at them on the spot.
Right now, the most important thing was to increase his strength.
Because he knew that his current strength wasn't a match for people like Ling Feng and Li Xingyun.
Strength was everything!
With strength, there would be dignity and more money!
Ling Feng didn't bother with Ling Xiao.
Ling Yu, on the other hand, looked at Ling Xiao awkwardly. Something seemed to have changed in his eyes. There was actually a trace of regret in his eyes.
"Fine, it's more fun when your strength increases. When it's time for the annual tournament, I'll make you lose wholeheartedly!"
It was only when Ling Xiao was about to leave the medicine hall that Ling Feng turned his head and forced a smile as he said a few words.
However, that smile of his was uglier than crying.
Ling Xiao smiled and didn't say anything. Anyway, the annual tournament was about to begin. Saying anything now was unnecessary.
After leaving the medicine hall, he went straight home.
His grandfather's health seemed to have improved a lot.
"You child, you didn't even say goodbye when you went out."
His grandfather seemed to be a little angry.
"Grandfather, don't be angry. This is 100 taels of silver. In the future, you can buy whatever you want to eat. Now that we have money, we don't have to live like beggars anymore. Also, I plan to renovate this house. Otherwise, we won't be able to live in it when it rains."
"Where did you get so much money?"
"Grandfather, since I didn't steal or rob, don't worry. Your grandson's strength is advancing very quickly. I reckon that by the time of the annual tournament, breaking through to the 3rd level of the Martial Vein won't be a problem."
Ling Xiao didn't explain further. He threw the 100 taels of silver onto the table and went back to his room to prepare for his breakthrough.
These days in the Dragon Submission Mountain Range, he had been constantly training and fighting. In fact, his strength could have broken through long ago.
The reason why he didn't break through wasn't because he couldn't, but because he purposely suppressed it.
Without the Heart Protecting Pill and Vein Protecting Pill, breaking through was very dangerous. He didn't want any accidents to happen.
Poor people only had one life.
Unlike those rich people, even if they were half dead, their families would still save them.
But he couldn't. Once he was seriously injured, he wouldn't be far from death.
After consuming the Breakthrough Pill, Heart Protecting Pill, and Vein Protecting Pill, Ling Xiao sat cross-legged and started to circulate the Scarlet Sun Art, preparing to break through the 3rd Martial Vein.
Needless to say, the power of the Breakthrough Pill was really ferocious. Just one pill and a terrifying power immediately spread in his dantian. Then, it wrapped around the True Qi in his body and rushed towards the 3rd Martial Vein.
"No wonder I need the Heart Protecting Pill and Vein Protecting Pill. If I didn't have it, this terrifying power might have shattered my heart meridians!"
The power of the Breakthrough Pill surprised Ling Xiao. The effects of the Heart Protecting Pill and Vein Protecting Pill were also greater than he had imagined.
After the True Qi increased, the meridians would definitely expand. If he didn't have these two pills, the meridians might have shattered.
