"You said that Feng Qingzhang, the head of the Feng family, obtained a hundred-year-old Stone Mushroom four years ago?" Ling Dong looked at the steward in front of him and asked in surprise.
After leaving the Kuixing Pavilion, Ling Dong took a big detour. After making sure that no one was following him, he found a secluded place and changed his appearance. He returned to his original appearance and went to the Ling family's business in the South Mountain Market to inquire about the news.
You don't say, Ling Dong was right to come! After speaking to Uncle Wu, one of the stewards immediately revealed this piece of news!
The steward who was questioned by Ling Dong was a little nervous. He was frightened by the incident where Ling Dong dealt with the steward who was a traitor. "Young Master, there is indeed such a thing. At that time, I heard that the head of the Zuo Family personally came to seek treatment for his internal injuries …"
"Did he succeed?" Ling Dong asked. Ling Dong knew very little about the Feng family, especially the head of the Feng family, Feng Qingzhang. Ling Dong only remembered that Feng Qingzhang was a very low-key person.
The steward shook his head nervously. "I'm not sure. I only heard about it."
After giving the steward some silver and sending him away, Ling Dong looked for Uncle Wu. "Uncle Wu, how is the preparation of the medicinal herbs I asked you to purchase?"
"Young Master, I have collected all of them. The mountains have been sealed by the heavy snow recently. The warriors who went into the mountains have all returned. Their bags are full. The silver you gave me was sufficient. I have collected them a few days ago. "Uncle Wu said with a smile.
"Well, thank you, Uncle Wu." Ling Dong had always been respectful to Uncle Wu. "Uncle Wu, arrange for someone you trust to send them to the residence. If anyone asks, just say that they are ordinary medicinal herbs that I use for practice. In addition, please help me purchase a set of clothes, animal medicine, torches and so on. "
Uncle Wu's expression changed. "Young Master, you want to go into the mountains?"
Ling Dong nodded.
"Young Master, if there is nothing urgent, you must not go into the mountains at this time. Not to mention the lack of food in this winter, the demonic beasts had become even more violent and bloodthirsty. Furthermore, the heavy snow has sealed off the mountain, and Young Master is not familiar with the roads. If you step on empty air, then … I heard that several small teams from the family's Elite Hall have returned. Why don't Young Master let them accompany you into the mountain? "Uncle Wu asked anxiously.
"No!" Ling Dong answered straightforwardly. Ling Dong didn't want anyone in his family to know about this matter.
Uncle Wu was obviously a smart person. He knew what Ling Dong meant. After some consideration, he suggested, "Since you can't use people from the Clan's Elite Hall, why don't you find a few Demon Hunter Martial Artists who go into the mountains to be your guides? At the very least, they should be familiar with the terrain!"
"At this time of the year, no one is willing to go into the mountains, right?" Ling Dong was also somewhat moved by Uncle Wu's suggestion. He was also clear about the dangers that Uncle Wu mentioned. Although it was not a difficult task for him, he was not familiar with the terrain.
Uncle Wu smiled confidently, "Young Master, in this day and age, as long as you have money, what can't be done? If the reward is generous, it won't be a problem to find a few good helpers! "
"That's true. Then I will have to trouble Uncle Wu! Let's set the departure time on the 29th of this month. "On the 28th of this month, Ling Dong wanted to participate in the Kuixing Pavilion's auction and obtain the Earth Fiend Elementary Stage Demonic Core. Ling Dong was determined to get his hands on that thing.
There was no choice. If he couldn't get it at the auction, it meant that Ling Dong would have to risk his life to enter the mountains to hunt for Earth Fiend Elementary Stage Demonic Beasts. That was no different from sending himself to his death. Earth Fiend Elementary Stage Demonic Beasts were something that even an Earth Fiend Realm expert wouldn't dare to go head-on against.
"It's my duty to work for Young Master!" Uncle Wu chuckled.
After obtaining the information about the Hundred Year Stone Mushroom, Ling Dong left the Ling family's trading company and wandered around the South Mountain Market Square aimlessly.
Ling Dong was thinking about a problem. How could he obtain a Hundred Year Stone Mushroom from the Feng Clan?
The Hundred Year Stone Mushroom was also known as the Meat in the Stone. It could only be grown in the rolling hills, rugged rocks, and earth veins. It could only be grown in special places where it could drink the morning dew and sunlight in the morning and absorb the Yin energy of the moon at night. It wasn't hard to find, but it was usually found in places where demonic beasts gathered deep in the mountains. It was needless to say how dangerous it was.
The Stone Mushroom would grow in size every ten years, and its medicinal properties would also increase. The Stone Mushrooms that were useful to martial artists were usually thirty years old and above. A Hundred Year Stone Mushroom was already very impressive. It was about the width of one palm and the length of two palms. Ling Dong had used a lot of Stone Mushrooms of this size in his previous life.
Ling Dong didn't need the whole Hundred Year Stone Mushroom to concoct the Three-Leaf Stone Spirit Pill. He only needed a piece that was half the size of a palm. Therefore, it was possible for the Feng Clan to part with it!
But the key point was, what could Ling Dong use to exchange for it?
The Feng Clan might not be interested in silver. The Hundred Year Stone Mushroom could be exchanged for silver anywhere. A piece the size of a fingernail could be sold for a hundred thousand taels at a special time. There would be people who would want it!
Since silver wouldn't work, then he had to use something that the Feng Clan valued. Ling Dong thought of the Wife Deed. But if Ling Dong came with the Wife Deed, then it would become blackmail. What the Feng Clan originally wanted to give, they wouldn't give!
Or should he ask his father to come forward?
After thinking for a long time, Ling Dong's brows suddenly relaxed. He walked out of the Southern Mountain Market with extremely relaxed steps.
"Yo, isn't this the father and son acting as sisters, Third Young Master Ling? What wind blew you to the Southern Mountain Market today? "Ling Dong walked to the entrance of the market. Suddenly, he was stopped by a person who was piled up with fur.
Why did he say that he was piled up with fur? He was wearing a furry leather coat and a hat made from the skin of an unknown Demonic Beast. Around his neck was a large furry tail.
"Oh, so it's Little Pockmarked. The pockmarks on your face have been licked clean by that whore. You dare to go out and meet people today?" Ling Dong sneered. Originally, with his cultivation, he disdained to scold people. But this brat in front of him dared to insult his father, so he didn't hold back.
This Little Pockmarked's surname was Ma Yu. His face was actually quite fair. The name Little Pockmarked came from his father, Ma Yingu, and a scandal. Ma Yingu was the gang leader of the largest gang in Southern Mountain Region, the Boulder Gang. His face was full of pockmarks, and he was known as Big Pockmarked!
This Little Pockmarked Ma Yu originally didn't have such a nickname. But one time, after playing with the prostitutes at the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant with a group of wastrels, his face suddenly became full of small red pimples.
The group of wastrels was curious and asked for details. Only then did they know that this brat had done something that caused his face to become full of small red pimples. While being laughed at by the wastrels, he also received the nickname Little Pockmarked! As for what he had done, it wasn't clear.
The nickname Little Pockmarked was Ma Yu's taboo. At this time, he had many followers with him. While his face was red, he, who thought highly of himself, felt that he had lost face. He opened his mouth and scolded, "Well done, Ling Dong. Do you believe that I won't reveal all the dirty things about you and your father playing with women?!"
"How do you know about the dirty things between me and my father?" Ling Dong smiled, but his eyes were full of murderous intent. This Ma Yu could say anything, but he had to drag his father into it. Humph!
Ma Yu didn't notice the change in Ling Dong's expression at all. He said proudly, "Hey, it seems that this matter is true. How do I know? A few days ago, that storyteller told a wonderful story. You don't know, but I went to listen to it every day! It was a wonderful story! "
Ling Dong's eyes suddenly became extremely gloomy. The three great families of Nanshan County and the largest gang, the Boulder Gang, had an agreement to share information. This Boulder Gang knew that someone had slandered his father and didn't report it. They deserved to be killed!
"Very good, they deserve to be killed!" Ling Dong's eyes turned cold. He suddenly rushed towards Ma Yu!
