Tong Xu Medicine Shop was packed with people. Huang Mushroom, the shop assistant in the middle, was very scared and nervous. His legs trembled uncontrollably.
Judging from their clothes and aura, everyone around him was a big shot, especially the City Lord, whom he was extremely respectful of.
Originally, he wanted to ask the shopkeeper, Xu Guiyuan, for help. However, the shopkeeper had also lost his usual calmness. His face was covered in cold sweat.
Huang Mushroom's mind was a mess when faced with the continuous questioning of the important people around him. He couldn't answer at all. He could only silently recall what the important people asked.
This had to start with Tong Xu Medicine Shop itself. As a century-old shop, its reputation was very good. It was originally a property of the Family Shen. Later, it was given to the Zhen Family as a betrothal gift for the marriage between the Zhen and Shen Families.
After the Zhen Family was destroyed, this medicine shop was actually owned by the shopkeeper, Xu Guiyuan.
However, this time, the branch of the Zhen Family came to Green Rock City and took out the certificate of Tong Xu Medicine Shop, so it became the property of the branch of the Zhen Family.
Actually, such a medicine shop wasn't very important to the branch of the Zhen Family. This time, they took it back mainly to make it easier to buy the precious herbs picked from the sinkhole.
The effect was really good. They didn't disappoint Zhen Fu Ming. They successfully received five precious herbs that had already become peerless.
Zhen Fu Ming heavily rewarded them. The dozen or so people in Tong Xu Medicine Shop immediately felt that it was good to follow the branch of the Zhen Family. They worked even harder to find information about precious herbs.
Leaving only Huang Mushroom, a fifteen-year-old shop assistant, to guard the medicine shop meant that they didn't expect anyone to deliver precious herbs to them.
It was true a few days ago. However, an hour ago, Huang Mushroom found a young man wearing a bamboo hat that covered his face wandering around nearby.
From his hands, feet, and clothes, it was obvious that he was a poor man who worked hard. He quickly understood that the young man was here to buy herbs and didn't have enough money.
Huang Mushroom was also born poor. He obtained an enviable job in Tong Xu Medicine Shop with the help of his distant relative, Xu Guiyuan.
Therefore, he sympathized with the young man wandering outside and took the initiative to ask.
However, what surprised him was that the young man was here to sell herbs.
The two of them walked into the medicine shop. The young man hesitated. After confirming that there was only one shop assistant, Huang Mushroom, he carefully took out a small bamboo tube.
Looking at the other party's extremely treasured appearance, Huang Gu was secretly amused. Could it be an immortal pill? But when he poured out a sparkling and translucent pill, he was slightly surprised. In his opinion, this pill was not bad. It should be of average quality in the Tongxu Medicine Store.
After some consideration, he made up his mind and offered eight hundred copper coins.
The young man refused to do it no matter what and insisted on one tael of silver.
Later, Huang Gu learned that the young man wanted to hire a doctor for his critically ill mother.
Huang Gu thought for a while and finally agreed to buy the pills for one tael of silver. Other than wanting to help, the biggest reason was that Zhen Fu Ming had recently given them a lot of money. When they encountered medicinal herbs and medicines that they couldn't decide on, they didn't have to be too calculative about money.
After getting a string of copper coins, the young man left in a hurry. Huang Gu didn't pay too much attention to it.
However, the events that followed became more and more serious.
First, after Xu Guiyuan came back and saw the pill, he praised him.
Soon after, people from the Zhen Family's collateral branch rushed over. They were immediately overjoyed and rewarded him with five taels of silver. They also promoted him to be the second shopkeeper of the Tongxu Medicine Shop.
At this time, Huang Gu was completely dumbfounded. He didn't expect that a pill that seemed to be of average quality could bring him so many benefits.
However, things weren't over yet. After the Zhen Family's collateral branch left in a hurry, the big shots that were rarely seen came to the medicine shop in waves.
At this time, Huang Gu was no longer pleasantly surprised. His heart was filled with fear.
Faced with so many big shots asking about the origin of the pills, he couldn't tell what the young man who sold the pills looked like.
After trying hard to recall, he finally said a few vague characteristics.
What shocked Huang Gu was that not long after, these big shots found the young man.
The young man was also terrified and uneasy. If it weren't for someone supporting him, he would have collapsed to the ground.
Not long after, he told them how he got the pills.
As a result, when the mayor, who was originally imposing without being angry, heard this, his expression changed slightly and he left in a hurry.
When the others heard this news, they sent people to inquire about it. Not long after, the people who inquired about it returned and said something.
One by one, the big shots left the medicine shop in a hurry.
Tongxu Medicine Shop regained its peace. Only Xu Guiyuan, Huang Gu, and the young man who was lying on the ground were left.
In his daze, Huang Gu still heard the reason why the big shots left. The pills came from Swordsman Mu. Since then, in his heart, he had always aimed to become an existence like Swordsman Mu.
…
Munin walked out of the Family Shen's door and found that Lu Qin was no longer there. He must have found out that the jade pendant was lost and rushed back to the City Lord's Mansion.
As for the others, they were nothing to worry about. He easily got rid of them. Then, he went straight to Daping Street and arrived in front of Murphy's Grocery.
What surprised him was that there was a young man and woman in their twenties looking around.
"Who are you?" Munin easily appeared in front of the man and woman in the grocery store.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into Swordsman Mu's courtyard." The man questioned.
Munin wiped his face and revealed his true appearance. "I am Munin. Why can't I appear here?"
The man and woman were very surprised. They took out a portrait and compared it carefully. The young man bowed respectfully and said, "Swordsman Mu is here. My junior sister and I did not recognize you. Please forgive us. We heard that you were at the bottom of the lake. We searched for you many times but to no avail. We had no choice but to come in and check. "
"Then you can leave." Although Munin could not use the Mind Searching Technique, he knew that the two of them were not lying. He let them leave.
The two of them suddenly knelt down. The woman's eyes were hazy with tears. She begged pitifully, "Swordsman Mu, please save my father!"
"Tell me the situation first. I once said that everyone can come to me for help within the scope of my ability. However, I can't do anything beyond that." Munin said.
The woman hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Swordsman Mu, I'm Tang Yuyan. My family is in Danyang City. My father is the head of the Tang's Escort Agency, Tang Lishan. My father went to Chang Capital a few months ago and bought a broken incense burner from the Zhen family's confiscated items …"
According to the Tang Yuyan, after the Tang Lishan bought the broken incense burner, he tried various methods and finally activated its magical ability.
As long as he continued to inject his inner strength, it would emit a strange fragrance. Within a radius of three feet, it would be warm in winter and cool in summer.
Those who were within this range felt relaxed and refreshed. They could easily calm their minds and focus their minds.
This ability was a godsend for martial artists.
The Tang Lishan was limited by his shallow martial arts. It was his limit to become a second-rate martial artist. However, after obtaining the magical ability of the broken incense burner, his martial arts kept breaking through the limit. In just a few months, he suddenly had an epiphany and understood the essence of martial arts. He successfully broke through the shackles of a first-rate martial artist and became a first-rate martial artist, standing at the top of the martial arts world.
The Tang Lishan, whose martial arts had improved greatly, had no other thoughts. He just wanted to run the Tang's Escort Agency well.
However, there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. More than ten days ago, a mysterious master discovered the secret of the incense burner. He directly attacked the Tang Lishan in the middle of the night and took away the broken incense burner.
The loss of the incense burner was not a big deal. The key was that the mysterious master's inner strength contained a strong poison, which made the Tang Lishan fall into a dead state. He searched for famous doctors everywhere but could not detoxify the poison. He could only use precious herbs to temporarily suppress the poison.
In desperation, he happened to hear that there was an omnipotent Swordsman Mu in Green Rock City. He came to ask for help with hope.
After listening to the Tang Yuyan's story, Munin immediately guessed that the broken incense burner must be a magic weapon of high quality.
However, it was difficult to help. Danyang City was five or six hundred miles away from Green Rock City. It would take a long time to go back and forth. His main Primordial Spirit could not leave his body for a long time. Otherwise, he might die.
More importantly, he was not sure whether the spiritual bean incarnation could pass through the invisible barrier.
"Go back to your residence and wait. If it can be done in three days, I will appear. If it can't be done, you can ask for someone else." Munin did not take out the Clear Jade Pill rashly because he knew that the poison in the Tang Lishan's body was not simple after listening to the Tang Yuyan's story. He did not want to hurt people instead of saving them.
