Su Ming was very nervous. The man's Qi far surpassed Lei Chen's. He should be around the fifth or sixth level of the Blood Solidification Realm.
Su Ming could not fight against such a person. If the man tried anything funny, then Su Ming would not be able to avoid it. But he wanted a large amount of Cloud Gauze Grass. If that was the case, then he would need a lot of stone coins.
Therefore, he had no choice but to take the risk. Moreover, after that time when he was chasing after Yu Chi in the forest, he felt that some of his thoughts seemed to have changed. All these years, he had read from the beast skin book that the elder gave him, and some of the knowledge described in it, had been deeply engraved in his mind.
He had a feeling that if he could not defeat the man with his level of cultivation, then he could only make the man doubt him in other areas so that he would not act rashly.
That was why he chose to hide his face and brought a wild beast with him before he came. He wanted to intimidate the man at the right moment.
By the looks of it, the effect was pretty good. But Su Ming did not let his guard down.
In truth, Su Ming was not the only one who was nervous in the tent. The man was even more nervous than Su Ming. Occasionally, he would look at the spot where the wild beast had died. When he saw the crushed bones, his heart would race against his chest. It was not out of excitement, but out of fear.
In fact, to him, the person before him who was completely covered in beast skins was filled with a mysterious air that he could not see through. That mysterious air, along with the shocking scene just now, gave the man a sense of pressure that far surpassed the anxiety Su Ming felt at that moment.
'This person's actions are experienced, his words are calm, and his attacks are even more ruthless. He must be one of the hidden Evil Barbarians in the nearby forest … But judging from his words just now, he seems to be very reasonable … It's just that this strange medicine probably won't have much effect. As the man was feeling anxious, footsteps came from outside the tent. The flap of the tent was lifted and a man walked in.
The man had a wooden expression on his face. Once he entered the tent, he did not say a single word. He stood by the side and waited for the one-eyed man's orders.
The moment the man entered, Su Ming cast a casual glance at him. The man's Qi was not strong. He was also at the second level of the Blood Solidification Realm, just like Su Ming.
"Eat it, and this!" The one-eyed man didn't hesitate. He took out the medicinal pill in his hand and handed a medicinal herb to the big man.
The burly man's expression remained the same. After receiving it, he immediately popped it into his mouth and chewed a few times. Then, he sat cross-legged to the side and circulated the blood in his body. However, his expression quickly changed. He seemed to be very surprised. Not long after, he opened his eyes and looked at the one-eyed man in confusion.
"There's no effect … It's just that I feel a little stronger than usual when I swallow the Spirit Spell Grass … It's about a level or so."
Hearing this, the one-eyed man's pupils shrank and his heart began to beat faster. He knew what this additional level meant. If it was an ordinary medicinal herb, then perhaps it wouldn't be that obvious. But if it was used by someone at the eighth or ninth level of Blood Condensation, then its value was practically immeasurable.
'Even if a normal herb is worth 10 stone coins, this thing would at most be worth one stone coin. But if it's an herb worth 100 stone coins or even 1,000 stone coins, then this additional level …' The more the one-eyed man thought about it, the more excited he became. However, he wasn't sure if this thing would have the same effect on high-grade herbs.
'It's a pity I don't have a lot of stone coins on me anymore …' After a moment of silence, he calmly quelled the excitement in his heart. Once he sent the man away, he stood respectfully before Su Ming and forced out a smile.
"Senior, this medicine is really amazing. How about this? I'll give you 30 stone coins for one. What do you think?" The one-eyed man didn't dare offend Su Ming. To him, Su Ming was a Fallen Berserker. If he could bring out this kind of herb, then he was definitely not a normal person.
"30 stone coins?" The price made Su Ming's heart pound against his chest, but his voice suddenly became cold.
"This … Senior, 30 stone coins is the limit. I'm also not sure if this thing has the same effect on high-grade herbs." The one-eyed man quickly spoke, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Su Ming.
"No matter what herb you take, this thing will have an additional level of effect. If it wasn't because I need a Berserker Vessel, I wouldn't sell it."
The one-eyed man struggled for a moment before he gritted his teeth and nodded. "Senior, how many do you have?"
"If I include the one you ruined just now, I still have one more!" As Su Ming spoke, he took out a small bottle from his bosom. There was one Scattering Dust inside.
When the man heard Su Ming's words, he was dazed and his heart ached. Just as he was hesitating, he saw Su Ming stand up and put away the small bottle in his bosom. He lifted his left hand, which had turned the small beast into blood mist. His eyes also shone with a sinister light under the skin that covered his face. He suddenly remembered the one pill he used in his experiment and quickly spoke.
"Senior, senior, this … 50 stone coins! This is really my limit! "
Su Ming did not want to stay there for too long. A glint appeared in his eyes and he said resolutely, "Alright. If you include the one from before, you'll have a total of 100 stone coins!"
The one-eyed man hesitated for a moment before he immediately took out a leather bag from his bosom and handed it to Su Ming respectfully. There were two white stone coins in the bag.
The value of a stone coin was determined by its color. Gray was secondary, black was 10, white was 50, and if there was purple, it would be 100.
"Give me the black stone coins!" Su Ming looked at them and suddenly said.
The one-eyed man was stunned, but he did not ask any questions. He took out 10 black stone coins and handed them to Su Ming again.
Su Ming took the stone coins and placed them in the bag. He threw the bottle to the man and picked up the basket on the ground. Without looking at the one-eyed man again, he turned around and walked out of the tent. Once he left the tent, Su Ming did not act rashly. Instead, he wandered around the square. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Torches could be seen everywhere, but the number of people in the square did not decrease by much. However, most of the people who came to buy or sell at this time were dressed like Su Ming.
He wandered around the square a few times. Once Su Ming was certain that no one was paying attention to him, he used his fastest speed to buy 60 of the Cloud Gauze Grass that he had chosen during the day. He then changed his attire in a secluded corner and left in a hurry. When he arrived at the place he had agreed to meet with Lei Chen, he saw Lei Chen yawning as he waited for him. Su Ming did not speak. He walked past Lei Chen.
Lei Chen was startled, but he also followed without batting an eyelid. The two of them, one in front and one behind, quickly disappeared into the dark forest. Su Ming changed many directions as he ran. He did not rest at all. He only stopped when the sky turned dark the next day. His face was pale and he was terrified.
Lei Chen was panting heavily. He might not understand, but he would not ask. Su Ming threw five stone coins towards Lei Chen when he caught them. Once he caught them, he immediately smiled in excitement.
The two of them rested for a while before Su Ming stood up again and ran with Lei Chen towards the direction of the tribe. This time, he did not stop. He ran at full speed. His speed was usually even faster than Lei Chen's. His level of cultivation might not be as high as Lei Chen's, but his speed was enough to make Lei Chen speechless.
'I gained quite a lot this time … I was planning to buy five Cloud Gauze Grass to test if I couldn't sell the medicinal pills. I didn't expect things to go so smoothly.' Su Ming was deep in thought as he moved forward.
'The one-eyed man must have been frightened by me. But I can't let my guard down. I have to return to the tribe as soon as possible.' Su Ming was cautious along the way. Even if they were already far away from the square, he would still change his direction occasionally. He even used his experience in the forest to get rid of his tracks.
When the sun was high up in the sky and there was still some time before noon, Su Ming and Lei Chen saw their tribe in the distance. Su Ming was finally at ease when he arrived. A smile appeared on his face.
"We're finally home. Su Ming, you still haven't told me. How did you know that Bai Ling was from Dark Dragon Tribe yesterday?" Lei Chen was panting. When Su Ming slowed down, he quickly asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.
"Bai Ling?" The image of the tall and beautiful girl appeared in Su Ming's mind. The girl's nose was wrinkled and her eyes sparkled. She exuded a wild beauty.
"I didn't know she was from Dark Dragon Tribe." A smile appeared on Su Ming's lips. The girl called Bai Ling was the most beautiful person he had ever seen in his life.
"Impossible. If you didn't know, how could you say it so easily?" Lei Chen had been thinking about this question for a long time but he could not find an answer. When he saw that Su Ming still did not want to tell him, he became anxious.
Su Ming cast a glance at Lei Chen and laughed.
"Lei Chen, don't tell me you like her?"
"Nonsense!" Lei Chen shook his head vigorously and mumbled.
"She's too thin. I don't like her. I like plump ones …" Lei Chen scratched his head. He had always liked plump girls in the tribe since he was young. It was still the same even now.
Su Ming smiled and joked with Lei Chen as they ran back to the tribe. Their carefree smiles and friendship gradually spread through the area with the wind in the freezing winter.
"The three people following behind Bai Ling have the Dark Dragon Totem on their bodies. The only people who like to draw Dark Dragons on their bodies are the people from Dark Dragon Tribe." Su Ming smiled as they approached the tribe.
When Lei Chen heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly. He did not expect it to be so simple.
Su Ming and Lei Chen returned to the tribe safely. When they reached their own house, Su Ming took out the Cloud Gauze Grass he bought from the square. There was a look of anticipation in his eyes.
'Mountain Spirit. I wonder what effect it will have after I create it! The elder told me not to go out for the time being … I'll go and come back quickly. It shouldn't take up too much time. 'Su Ming made up his mind.
At that moment, in a square far away from Dark Mountain Tribe, something huge was happening!
The cause of this was the round pill!
Once Su Ming left, the one-eyed man hesitated for a long time in the tent. He did not meet any other customers who came to trade with him. Instead, in the midst of his hesitation, he gritted his teeth and took the small bottle containing the medicinal pills before rushing to the gigantic purple tent belonging to the owner of the square.
