943 Plucking the Tigers Beard, Changes (2)
Xu Qing didnt pay much attention to the youths vigilance; he just glanced and noticed the issues with the youths condition.
The other party was indeed poisoned and Xu Qing had encountered this poison before.
It was the one-eyed cultivators poison. However, it was much diluted and hadnt erupted yet.
However, the young mans weak constitution had caused an early reaction.
Xu Qing had always remembered the one-eyed cultivators escape. Now that he sensed this poison, he became a little interested. Hence, he threw out an antidote pill.
Go back, prepare a wooden bucket of water, get nine drops of morning dew, then swallow this antidote, and immerse yourself in the bucket, meditating for an hour.
When the water turns completely black, it means your poison has been cured.
The young man took the pill, somewhat skeptical, but still gave a spirit stone to Linger before quickly leaving.
Linger kept the spirit stone and smiled sweetly at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing shook his head and returned to the back room to continue dissecting the cursed ferocious beasts. As he studied the curse, he also analyzed the method to enter the Moon Rebel Hall.
However, a strand of his divine consciousness had been left on the young man, without any effect. But if the one-eyed cultivator appeared near him, Xu Qing could instantly sense it.
Just like that, half a month passed while Xu Qing was exploring and studying.
Xu Qing and Lingers small apothecary had been open here for almost two months. The medicinal effects of the white pills and the low price caused Green Spirit Hall to gain some fame.
Hence, the number of customers who came to buy the pills increased, and there were even days when dozens of people would visit the shop. This attracted the attention of many in the small city and also drew the interest of some nearby minor factions..
Sometimes, when one sought tranquility, disturbances arose. Once anything became well-known, trouble tended to follow.
This logic was the same no matter where it was.
It was especially prominent in this chaotic place with different factions. At noon, an uninvited guest arrived at the apothecary.
This was a nonhuman cultivator at the perfected Qi Condensation Realm. He wore a black robe and had a skull hanging on his chest.
The instant he walked into the apothecary, he circulated his cultivation base, forming an energy fluctuation that enveloped the apothecary. He even kicked away a chair in front of him.
Amidst the crashing sounds, the chair hit the counter and shattered into pieces.
A corner of the counter was also broken. Linger, who was recording the accounts behind, looked up and frowned slightly.
Starting today, you will deliver three hundred white pills to the Skull Union every month. Did you hear me clearly? Im only saying this once! The cultivator at the peak of the Qi Condensation stage slapped the counter with a loud bang, speaking in a cold tone.
He wasnt alone. There were four other people guarding outside the apothecary. They were all dressed in the same style.
When the pedestrians on the streets saw this scene, they noticed the characteristics of these peoples attires and left hurriedly.
Its the Skull Union!
This group is ruthless. Previously, I heard that a shop in a small city provoked them and they rushed in at night and killed their entire family.
Their leader is a perfected Foundation Building cultivator. Sigh, they dont dare to provoke experts, so they came to bully us poor people.
Linger didnt say anything. The Diamond Sects ancestor, who was hanging on the beam, trembled excitedly.
After such a long time, there was finally someone who had a death wish. This also allowed him to find an opportunity to showcase himself.
Just as he was about to fly over and pierce a few holes through the other partys body, he had no choice but to stop at the next instant because Linger wouldnt let him.
Lingers small face turned pale as though she was frightened. She hurriedly took out a bag and placed it in front of her, nodding repeatedly.
Alright, alright. Well give it to you.
Seeing that it went so smoothly, the perfected Qi Condensation cultivator sneered. They often did such things and would investigate in advance every time to confirm that they wouldnt encounter a tough opponent before extorting.
They had been watching this apothecary for half a month and came here today mainly to probe. However, they didnt expect it to be so successful. He glared at Linger and took the bag over. He weighed it in his hand and calmly spoke.
At least you know your place!
With that, he turned and left proudly.
After they left, the panic on Lingers face dissipated. As she calculated the bill, she spoke as though nothing had happened.
You Lingzi.
At the thought of this, the Diamond Sects ancestor tried to salvage the situation.
Its not good to kill here. It will affect the business. Tonight, go to their place and silently kill them all. Remember to bring the medicinal pills when you return. Not a single one can be missing. Also, if they have anything valuable, bring them back too.
Its a pity that Little Shadow isnt back yet. I can only let you handle this matter.
Linger calmly spoke.
The Diamond Sects ancestor quickly glanced at the back room and then at Linger. He now had a better understanding of this little girl.
He thought to himself that this madam wasnt as harmless as she looked on the surface. When facing the one-eyed cultivator before, she had spoken with a tone of leniency and offered to give him a quick death. It had caught him off guard.
He hurriedly spoke.
Madam, I promise to complete the mission!
Linger smiled, tidied up the broken chair on the ground, and then added a sentence.
Oh right, remember to bring back three more chairs.
The Diamond Sects ancestor blinked and hurriedly agreed.
Mm, let me think. You can capture a few of their heads and bring them for Brother Xu Qing to study.
Linger reminded again.
Xu Qing lifted his head in the back room, his gaze moving away from the half-dissected Golden Core scorpion in front of him. He looked towards the outside, feeling a warmth in his heart due to Lingers thoughtfulness.
