The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 105

Chapter 105: Magic Pill Central Workshop

“You’re asking for death!” The middle aged man said viciously. He especially hated people calling him a pig even an insinuation was not tolerated. Suddenly his thick brows rose sharply. He lifted up the big axe in his hand and cut down ruthlessly at Ling Xiao, bringing with it a momentum that only Moon level practitioners had. The onlookers all around immediately did all they could to move backwards.

Just when the big axe was about to fall on Ling Xiao’s body, a strand of purple flames surged out from his body. The blazing hot temperature immediately raised the temperature all around considerably. Much like a fire dragon whooshing and winding around the middle aged man’s big axe. In an instant the axe was burnt into ashes then that strand of purple fire shot violently at the middle aged man…

That middle aged man didn’t even have time to cry out. That strand of purple flames shot through his chest finally changing into tiny sparks and vanishing.

Everyone looked at this scene in horror.

When the purple flames disappeared, the middle aged man’s body fell to the ground amidst the shocked cries of the onlookers. Bright red blood gushed out. In just a little bit, there was a pool of blood on the ground coming from a shocking bloody hole in middle aged man’s chest.

Quite a number of people covered their mouths speechlessly. Their terrified gazes fell on the handsome man who appeared so gentle and refined. No one expected that this person that was smiling so warmly would actually make such a cold-blooded move.

Marching over unhindered for over ten years without once falling down, the leader of the Wolf Fang Gang, an unquestionable Moon level practitioner, actually fell down dead with one strike from this man. This misfortune was really too tragic.

But this man’s skills were so ruthless, with the power of thunder and speed of the wind. This was not something easily witnessed in the peaceful HunJi City. Today, not only was this skill witnessed, it was so ruthless right from the start making everyone jump in fright.

You XiaoMo also didn’t expect it. He swallowed with difficulty, raising his head to glance at Ling Xiao.

He thought that at the most, Ling Xiao would just send them running. He didn’t expect him to kill the middle aged man right away. But he was also not especially surprised. That time in the ice cave, he saw Ling Xiao strike Elder Jiang dead with one move. He even dared to kill an Elder of the Tian Xin Sect, who was there that he didn’t dare to kill? Although Elder Jiang was a spy for the demons.

So he had known long ago that Ling Xiao was a very ruthless person. But knowing in his heart was still a little different from witnessing it with his own eyes.

The few people that were smugly accusing Ling Xiao just a moment ago, having witnessed the death of their gang leader, were now all pale with fright. Their terrified eyes reflected the slender figure of Ling Xiao. Their legs were shaking so hard that they were almost unable to stand. They didn’t dare think about rushing out to take revenge for their gang leader.

“Take your gang leader’s corpse and get out of here. Or do you all want to stay here and accompany your gang leader?” Ling Xiao looked over at them and spoke in a gentle voice.

All the members of the Wolf Fang Gang were terrified by his gentle voice, making their hair stand on end. The group of people stumbled over to the middle aged man and lifted up the corpse of their gang leader while being completely flustered. Then they quickly disappeared.

“Alright. Let’s go.” Ling Xiao looked down and spoke to You XiaoMo.

You XiaoMo immediately followed him and dived into the crowd of people, as if nothing happened. If not for the pool of blood on the ground, a lot of people would think that everything that just happened was just an illusion. After all, it was too shocking.

Not long after they left, a group of black-clothed guards led by a man rushed over. It was too bad that they were one step too late as the matter had already ended. The people also left without a trace. If not for the pool of blood on the ground, with the crowd dispersed after the show was over, he would have thought that he had just been fed false information.

Walking slowly down the street, You XiaoMo’s gaze continuously swept across the shops on both sides of the street.

As the busiest street of HunJi City, the goods that were sold here was more complete than in HePing town. Every few steps was another magic pill shop or magic herb shop. But these shops were relatively small. There were people moving around inside but definitely not too many.

You XiaoMo really wanted to go in to take a look but Ling Xiao didn’t stop. He also couldn’t just run in by himself.

After the two of them walked for about fifteen minutes, You XiaoMo’s flickering eyes finally locked onto the signboard of a huge shop. On the light gold board was written ‘Magic Pill Central Workshop’, in large simple characters. Furthermore, on the upper right corner of the sign there were seven red stars engraved. Clearly this was one of Seven Star’s businesses.

This shop was the size of four shops. Compared to the surrounding shops, this shop may be considered luxurious.

At this moment, Ling Xiao also stopped walking, lowering his head to say to him, “It’s this one.”

You XiaoMo nodded somewhat excitedly and followed him into the extraordinary shop. Just stepping into the shop, a whiff of medicinal fragrance assailed his nose. The concentrated fragrance almost made him sneeze. After taking a careful look, his eyes were filled with wonder.

The inside of the Magic Pill Central Workshop was very huge. Everything was criss-crossed but the transparent display cases were placed in an ordered manner. The cases seemed to be made of crystal, similar to the modern glass display cases. But the display cases here were clearly much stronger than glass cases. Faint spiritual energy drift up from the surfaces. Not only were there magic pills of various levels inside, there were also quite a lot of magic herbs.

It was possible that the display cases could lock in spiritual energy, so there was no sign of decay of the magic herbs inside. It attracted a lot of people to stop and look. There were also quite a few people standing by the other cases. Sounds of conversation could be heard all around.

You XiaoMo took a look, his drool almost flowing out. The magic pills and magic herbs were mostly mid-level and medium quality and at least level four to level six, but were all quite common ones. As for low level magic pills and magic herbs, there didn’t seem to be any. Clearly big medicine workshops were not the same.

But when he saw the price written on top, the corners of his eyes couldn’t help twitching, this was too exorbitant. One stalk of level four magic herb was actually forty thousand gold coins and it was only medium quality. If it was high quality, would it then be fifty to sixty thousand gold coins?

This type of business was too much of a rip-off, too profitable. He was envious!

After taking a look, he looked away feeling depressed.

He thought about how much money he got when he sold magic pills in HePing town. It was not even one tenth the price of one stalk of level four magic herb. It was really a huge blow to him. But at the same time, he thanked his lucky stars, thankful that he could grow his own. If not he wouldn’t be able to buy it even if he sold himself.

He had heard Da Shixiong saying before, that although being a mage was a profitable profession, it also burned through a lot of money. Seeing this now, it was clearly not false!

“My two sirs, do you need help with anything?” A female attendant dressed in simple white clothes walked towards them. Her calm gaze swept across the both of them, before finally, as everyone expected, settling on Ling Xiao in a respectful manner.

Ling Xiao didn’t immediately answer her. Instead he looked over to You XiaoMo when she spoke. He still remembered what his Xiao Shidi said in the Seven Stars auction house. But when he looked over, not only was he not looking at the attendant, he was poking his head here and there looking at who knew what. Only then did he look away in satisfaction.

“Do you take magic pills here?”

The attendant froze for a moment before nodding her head modestly, “We do. But on the second floor. Will the two sirs please follow me.”

Then You XiaoMo was led by Ling Xiao up to the second level following after the attendant.

The second floor of the Magic Pill Central Workshop was not as luxurious as the first floor. Rather it had a simple and plain atmosphere, mostly in plain white. The middle of the great hall was similarly filled with transparent crystal display cases. Inside the cases were jade boxes that mostly contained magic herbs. But what was surprising was that these magic herbs were actually top quality, emitting faint white rays. One look and it was obvious that they were not ordinary magic herbs.

No wonder this was the biggest magic pill shop in HunJi City. It seemed they had quite a bit of assets.

There were quite a few people standing scattered in the middle of the hall. From their bodies, You XiaoMo could feel their powerful souls indicating they were all mages. But this was only to be expected since people who bought magic herbs were mostly mages.

The attendant brought them to an old man dressed in black robes and then explained the situation.

The old man waved off the attendant and looked towards the both of them. This time You XiaoMo was finally the object of attention. After all, only mages would sell magic pills since practitioners wouldn’t come to sell them. They didn’t even have enough for their own use.

“What magic pill does this Xiao Shidi want to sell? But let the old me say this first, Magic Pill Central Workshop will not accept ordinary magic pills.” The old man spoke lightly. He raised this point because he could see that You XiaoMo was a low level mage. The magic pills a low level mage could refine were restricted to level one and three without exception and they were mostly low grade. Magic Pill Central Workshop did not accept low grade magic pills.

You XiaoMo also understood what he meant, so he didn’t say much just brought out five bottles of magic pills from his magic bag and placed them in front of him.

The old man picked up one of the bottles. Immediately after opening the bottle, a burst of strong medicinal fragrance was detected. The smell that assailed the nose made the expression on the old man’s face change slightly. He immediately poured out one pill. A perfectly round yellow-gold colored magic pill rolled out from the mouth of the bottle into his palm. From the magic pill’s color and scent, it was all first class. Shockingly, it was a top grade level two magic pill.

The old man then took a closer look at the bottle. There were actually fifty or so pills inside. Then he looked at the other four bottles of magic pills one by one. They were all also top grade level two magic pills, also fifty pills per bottle. A look of amazement quickly welled up in the old man’s eyes.

“These …were all refined by you?” The old man stared at You XiaoMo with shock and amazement.

He could hardly imagine that this person that he felt did not have a powerful soul, and was not more than seventeen or eighteen years or age, was actually a level two mage. Most importantly, he actually refined two hundred and fifty top grade magic pills.

It must be said that although Magic Pill Central Workshop was the biggest magic pill shop in HunJi City, it still couldn’t bring out two hundred and fifty top grade magic pills at one time. Also, where did he get so many top quality magic herbs?
