"Why do you say so, brother?"
Seeing his expression, Zhang Xuan was puzzled.
"Why do you say that?" The inner disciple had a sympathetic look on his face. "Do you know who that girl is?"
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
"One of the Three Grand Elders of the sect, Elder Bai Ye's granddaughter, Bai Ruanqing!"
The inner disciple shook his head and said, "To tell you the truth, even though she looked gentle earlier, she's actually a female dinosaur. She's famous even among the core disciples, and no one dares to offend her! How dare he spend so much money to buy a bottle of water from you? As long as you're still in the sect, you won't be able to escape … If you don't leave the sect, you'd better return home immediately and prepare for your funeral. Otherwise … no one will be able to save you! "
"Female T-Rex?" Zhang Xuan's eyebrows twitched.
Just now, the other party's attitude was amiable, he didn't see it at all!
"What? You don't believe me? Last year, a core disciple, Su Tong, ran over to confess to her and was dragged over to challenge her. In the end, his crotch was smashed on the spot and has yet to recover! Core Disciple Zhang Yue, because she offended him, she was also beaten up to the point that she couldn't get out of bed for a month. Oh, that's right, Core Disciple Xue Hai, because he sold fake medicine, he was stuffed into the river and drowned to the point that he lost half of his life. That's not all, he even had half of his tongue cut off … Core Disciples are already like that, and you, an Inner Disciple, actually dared to lie to her. Aren't you courting death? "
The inner disciple next door snorted.
"This …"
Zhang Xuan scratched his head.
All he saw was that the other party's legs were long, straight, and beautiful, but he couldn't tell that the other party was so vicious.
"How strong is she? Do you know? "
Unable to hold himself back any longer, he asked.
If the opponent's strength was similar to his, then he wouldn't be afraid! To be honest, other than his doppelganger, he had never been afraid of anyone in the same realm!
"She had already reached the pinnacle of Pseudo Immortal realm when she competed with Su Tong last year. I'm not sure what her cultivation realm is this year!" The inner disciple next door pulled his stall far away. "I'll stay away from you for now. If you come looking for trouble, I'll be able to escape. I won't be implicated! Sigh, it's getting harder and harder to do business these days. I want to keep a low profile, but I have to guard against others seeking death … How worrisome! "
"…"
Zhang Xuan was speechless.
"Forget it, I won't be staying here any longer. It's indeed time for me to leave after buying the Ethereal Token …"
Zhang Xuan couldn't be bothered to waste his breath on the other party. He tidied up the stall and stood up.
The main reason he had come to this market was to earn enough money to buy Ethereal Tokens. Now that he had enough money, he could finally return to the Ethereal Hall.
"Sell an Ethereal Token to me. Here are twenty Sword Pavilion Coins!"
He walked over to the inner disciple next door and tossed the money pouch down.
The inner disciple shook his head and said, "I'm not selling it for 20 yuan … The price has gone up. I want 25 yuan!"
"Price increase? Didn't you just say twenty? "Zhang Xuan couldn't help but frown.
"It was twenty earlier, but now that you have offended Bai Ruanqing, you have already been sentenced to death. What if she learns that I have sold you something and comes after me? Adding five more is for psychological comfort, as well as the money to buy medicine. It's only because I'm familiar with you that I'm willing to pay a higher price. If it was anyone else, they might not even be willing to sell! "The inner disciple said confidently.
"You …" Zhang Xuan's face twitched.
Was the female dinosaur really that fearsome?
With a look of disbelief on his face, Zhang Xuan walked over to the other stalls that sold Ethereal Tokens, only to find that no one was willing to sell them anymore.
Clearly, the news that he had offended the female dinosaur had already spread far and wide. In order to prevent any mishaps, no one was willing to do business with him anymore.
"Those fellows …"
Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth in frustration. If he could, he would have done what Cao Chengli had said and robbed all of them.
He had thought that he would be able to buy the Ethereal Tokens with twenty Sword Pavilion Coins, but who could have thought that he would still be unable to get his hands on them?
"Forget it …"
Just as Zhang Xuan was contemplating whether he should look for another way, Cao Chengli suddenly walked up to him and said, "Young Master, these are the Ethereal Tokens that you wanted. Here …"
After saying those words, Cao Chengli passed two Ethereal Tokens over.
Grabbing the object in his hand, Zhang Xuan widened his eyes.
He had spent half a day setting up his stall, but he had not been able to buy a single one. How in the world did his unreliable subordinate manage to get two of them?
"Didn't I tell you just now? I've taken a fancy to a beautiful inner disciple … "Cao Chengli scratched his head awkwardly. Just as he was about to explain, a lady who weighed around three hundred jin suddenly walked over and said," Dear, let's hurry up. My bed is big and round, and more importantly, it's very soft too … "
"Alright, I'll be right there!" Cao Chengli hurriedly nodded. After which, he waved his hand and said, "Young Master, I'll head over first. I'll tell you the details later …"
After saying those words, Cao Chengli followed the woman out of the stall excitedly.
"…" Zhang Xuan clutched his forehead once more.
The heck …
What the heck?
You call this beautiful?
Why does it feel like the horse he tamed back in Xuanjiang City was even prettier than this?
So be it if you're lustful, but at least you should have some taste!
Even though Zhang Xuan's taste was lacking, he was still quite efficient. Zhang Xuan had spent more than two hours looking for an Ethereal Token, but not only did Cao Chengli obtain two, he even managed to get a bed with her …
Comparing oneself to others was infuriating!
Zhang Xuan shook his head helplessly before slowly making his way back to his residence.
…
In Elder Bai Ye's residence …
With a sharp cry, Bai Ruanqing leaped down from the back of the aerial steed and walked into the main hall.
"Young Mistress …"
An elder walked up to her.
He was Elder Bai Ye's servant, Bai Feng.
He had grown up together with Elder Bai Ye, and they had entered the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion together. Even though he was not too famous in the sect, his cultivation was still unfathomable.
Knowing that Bai Ruanqing had gone out to look for medicine to treat his injuries, Bai Feng sighed deeply before walking up to Bai Ruanqing. "I understand your feelings, Young Mistress, but the Old Master's injuries were inflicted in the City of Collapsed Space, and they carry an unfathomable power. The sect has already tried all means available to him, so what can the medicine you bought from the inner and outer disciples do?"
Bai Feng could not help but shake his head.
The City of Collapsed Space was one of the most mysterious places on the Forsaken Continent. There were many treasures there, but it was also fraught with danger.
Given his identity as one of the Three Grand Elders of the Forsaken Continent, even if he was unable to treat the Old Master's injuries, he should at least be able to live a normal life. However, it was a pity that his injuries were simply too severe. He had tried all means available to him, but they were all to no avail. On top of that, the Old Master's condition was getting worse and worse. Most likely, he wouldn't last more than a few days.
It was for this reason that Bai Ruanqing would head out every day to look for all kinds of ancient medicine and medicine, hoping for a miracle to happen.
"I know that, but …" Bai Ruanqing clenched her fists tightly.
How could she not understand what Bai Feng was saying?
However, she could not bring herself to watch her only kin die just like that.
"Sigh!"
Knowing what Bai Ruanqing was thinking, Bai Feng sighed deeply. "Young Mistress, what kind of medicine did you find this time? May I take a look?"
"It's this …"
Bai Ruanqing flicked her wrist and passed the bathwater she had just bought over.
Bai Feng took the bathwater and uncorked it. He took a whiff and shook his head. "Young Mistress, is this medicine? I have lived for a hundred and fifty years, and I have seen all kinds of medicine in my life … But there isn't the slightest bit of spiritual energy in it at all. Could it be that someone is trying to fool me? "
In order for medicine to be effective, it had to be infused with spiritual energy. Yet, the thing in the bathwater was completely devoid of spiritual energy. How could it possibly be medicine?
Could it be that Bai Ruanqing was too anxious and ended up being fooled by someone?
"It was sold to me by an inner disciple. It's said that it's a healing medicine that's effective in treating all kinds of injuries," Bai Ruanqing replied.
Bai Ruanqing nodded.
She had doubted it when she received it, but her grandfather was on the verge of collapsing. Even if there was a sliver of hope, she would not let it go.
Not to mention, the confident look on the face of the person who sold it didn't seem like he was lying.
After all, there was no one in the inner disciples and core disciples who did not know of her. Anyone who saw her should know the consequences of lying to her. Yet, the other party still dared to make such a bold claim despite knowing all of this! There was no doubt that the other party had something up his sleeves!
"Effect? To dare sell it to you without the slightest bit of spiritual energy … That fellow sure is gutsy! How much is it? "
Bai Feng harrumphed.
"Twenty Sword Pavilion Coins!" Bai Ruanqing replied.
“20？”
Bai Feng was taken aback for a moment before he bellowed furiously, "Young Mistress, I'm certain that you have been scammed! Twenty Sword Pavilion Coins is more than enough to buy ten Basic Immortal Pills. Yet, you only bought a bottle of medicine like that. Which elder is the inner disciple of? I'll look for them right now and demand an explanation from them! Do you think that you can bully Elder Bai just because he's injured? "
Boom!
Bai Feng's zhenqi burst forth from his acupoints, causing the entire manor to tremble. It felt as if it would collapse at any moment.
Even though Elder Bai was severely injured and on the verge of collapsing, Bai Feng was still around. Anyone who dared to bully the Young Mistress was courting death!
"I … I bought it willingly. I wasn't scammed …"
Bai Ruanqing's face reddened.
The other party had already made it clear that it was up to her whether she wanted to buy it or not.
"Willingly? You must be lying to me! "Bai Feng roared furiously.
"Alright, it doesn't matter whether it's spiritual energy or not. Since I've already bought it, I'll give it to my grandfather to try …"
Bai Ruanqing interrupted Bai Feng's words as she walked into the room. A moment later, she arrived at the bed.
There was an old man lying on the bed. His face had already withered, and there was a bowl-sized wound on his chest that had already started to fester.
The old man was currently unconscious, as if he had not heard the conversation between the two of them.
"Grandfather, you have to get well!"
There was no other way around it, so Bai Ruanqing helped the old man up before slowly pouring the liquid in the jade bottle down the old man's throat.
A moment later, Bai Ruanqing waited for a moment, but the wound was still festering, and there was no sign of recovery at all.
"There's no spiritual energy at all. It must be fake … Young Mistress, you mustn't trust such things in the future. Even the elders of the sect who specialize in the Way of Medicine have tried it, but it was ineffective.
Seeing this scene, Bai Feng shook his head and snorted coldly. However, before Bai Feng could finish speaking, he heard a weak voice.
"Cough cough … What did you give me?"
Bai Ruanqing and Bai Feng's bodies stiffened. They quickly turned their gazes over and saw that the unconscious Elder Bai Ye had opened his eyes.
Even though he was still weak, he had regained consciousness.
