Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Ling Family Pharmacy Hall_1

"Senior Brother Cloud Collins, are we just going to let this kid leave like this? Brother Li Rui just died in vain?"

Although they were afraid of Ling Xiao, the members of the Li Clan still harbored strong feelings about Li Rui’s death.

Furthermore, with their superior numbers, they always thought they could bully the fewer.

"I, Ling Xiao, am leaving. Who among you can stop me!"

With a cold laugh, Ling Xiao shouldered the corpse of the Howling Moon Wolf and swaggered through the crowd of the Li Family.

No one dared to make a move.

The scene of Ling Xiao killing the Martial Artist at the Martial Veins Third Layer, Li Rui, with a single punch was still vivid in their minds.

They all knew very well, whoever struck first, would die!

Having passed through the crowd, Ling Xiao inwardly heaved a sigh of relief.

To be honest, his True Qi hadn’t fully recovered before, and after using all his strength to kill Li Rui, if the Li Family members really attacked him as a group, he would have no choice but to run.

He just didn’t expect these people to be so cowardly that they didn’t even dare to take action.

This really helped him a lot—show off and leave, truly thrilling!

"Who exactly is this Ling Xiao? With his aptitude, I’m afraid he might not be inferior to that genius Ling Yixue."

"Not just that, even Ling Feifan couldn’t have left like this at the pinnacle of the Martial Vein Second Layer!"

Li Xingyun’s face darkened, staring at Ling Xiao’s retreating figure as he spoke coldly.

"No way, Senior Brother Cloud Collins, are you talking about that Ling Feifan, one of the Four Young Masters of Tianfeng City?"

"Exactly, him!"

"Impossible, Ling Feifan had already advanced to the Martial Vein Quadruple Layer three years ago, at the age of twelve. He’s a true prodigy; how could that kid compare to him?"

The Four Young Masters of Tianfeng City, all of whom advanced to the Martial Vein Quadruple Layer before the age of fourteen, were undoubtedly the role models for all the young people in Tianfeng City.

"Exactly, Senior Brother Cloud Collins, you think too highly of that Ling Xiao. If you weren’t injured today, Ling Xiao would have undoubtedly died."

"Of course!"

Although Li Xingyun admired Ling Xiao, he was even more confident in himself—if he hadn’t been injured today, Li Rui definitely wouldn’t have died.

"Right, we shouldn’t spread word of today’s events when we return. Just say that Li Rui was killed by the Howling Moon Wolf. Otherwise, we’re all in trouble. Li Rui’s grandfather is an elder in our clan. His grandson was killed by someone from the Ling Family, and we didn’t help. You all know what the consequences will be, don’t you?"

Suddenly, Li Xingyun spoke up sharply.

"Understood, Senior Brother Cloud Collins."

After Ling Xiao left the Fulong Mountain Range, he first went to the market and exchanged all the excess materials for silver, totaling thirty-five thousand taels.

This money was essential because even if he needed to get the Ling Family’s Pharmacy Hall to help refine pills, a service fee had to be paid, and without silver, it definitely wouldn’t work.

Moreover, the rarer the pills, the higher the service fee required.

But thirty-five thousand taels of silver were more than enough.

He then went to the auction house and retrieved the one hundred taels of silver he earned from auctioning off the basic cultivation technique, still leaving a ten-tael commission for their service.

He stored all the silver inside the Mountain and River Map.

This was much safer than keeping it in a bank.

He had heard of something in the world called a Storage Ring, but he had never seen one; he presumed that even if such a thing existed, it surely wouldn’t be as convenient as his Mountain and River Map.

This time, he had no plans to sell another cultivation technique.

Now that he had the silver, he could temporarily stop such risky endeavors to avoid mishaps.

After leaving the auction house, Ling Xiao quickened his pace and returned to the Ling Family, heading straight for the Pharmacy Hall.

The Pharmacy Hall, as the Ling Family’s dedicated place for making pills and healing injuries, was always bustling with people, no matter the time.

So if you wanted to avoid people you didn’t wish to see, it was indeed a bit difficult.

Take now, for instance; as soon as he arrived at the Pharmacy Hall, Ling Xiao discovered Ling Yu and Ling Feng hurrying this way too.

Ling Yu was still the same charming and graceful girl, now holding on to Ling Feng’s arm, displaying such sweetness that it truly made others envious.

Ling Feng, on the other hand, remained clad in white, looking utterly dashing. Moreover, his aura seemed even stronger than the last time Ling Xiao had seen him.

Standing there, he appeared as though he was an unsheathed treasured sword.

"Hehe, little beggar, are you here at the Pharmacy Hall to beg for leftover pill residue again?"

Ling Xiao had noticed Ling Feng and Ling Yu, and naturally, they had also spotted him.

Because nobody was hiding from anyone.

Back when he had no money, Ling Xiao always came to the Pharmacy Hall to ask for some pill residue, mainly for cultivation purposes.

Because of this, he had often been the butt of jokes and sarcasm.

"Hmph, our Saint Ancestor of the Northern Han Kingdom also came from a beggar’s background, you short-haired girl with short sight!"

He sneered and snorted coldly, and without further entanglement, he dropped a remark and entered the Pharmacy Hall.

Handling his own serious business was important, after all. Arguing was truly pointless.

"Hehe, to think that that kid would dare to compare himself to the Saint Ancestor, he really doesn’t know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is! I heard that a few days ago he seemed to have defeated Ling Chong, and also bested Ling Fei in light-work skill. With such minor achievements, he’s getting arrogant."

Ling Feng said coldly.

When it comes to being arrogant, perhaps he, Ling Feng, is the most fitting for that description.

Ling Xiao had never looked down on anyone, including Ling Chong, whom he had defeated twice in a row; he had always gone all out.

"Hee hee, Brother Feng is right. The Saint Ancestor was a genius, but who is he? Just a poor beggar."

Ling Yu also giggled, completely disregarding Ling Xiao.

In her eyes, although Ling Xiao’s strength had improved, without money or backing, he still couldn’t advance any further.

Ling Xiao was unaware of their discussion. Once inside the Pharmacy Hall, he headed straight for the counter where registration took place.

To break through to Martial Veins Third Layer, he needed one Breakthrough Pill, one Heart-protecting Pill, and one Vessel-protecting Pill each, as well as some Qi Gathering Pills to enhance his True Qi for special circumstances that might arise later.

If bought directly, one Breakthrough Pill cost one thousand taels of silver, the Heart-protecting Pill and Vessel-protecting Pill were priced the same.

Qi Gathering Pills were slightly cheaper, costing five hundred taels of silver each.

Although Ling Xiao could afford them, there was no need for him to spend this superfluous money. Having the materials, he needed to pay only one hundred taels of silver as a service fee for each of the Breakthrough Pill, Heart-protecting Pill, and Vessel-protecting Pill.

And for a Qi Gathering Pill, only a fifty taels of silver service fee was needed.

"Brother Feng, I should be breaking through to Martial Veins Third Layer soon, so you’d better get me a full set of Breakthrough Pills, Heart-protecting Pills, and Vessel-protecting Pills in time, or else I won’t be happy!"

At that moment, Ling Yu and Ling Feng entered as well.

Listening to Ling Yu, it seemed she was also preparing to make a breakthrough, but this was normal given that Ling Yu had already been at the Martial Veins Second Layer for quite a while, and with the pills from Ling Feng, it would have been strange for her not to break through.

"Little Sister Yu, you know that the annual grand competition is about to start, and I need to concentrate on breaking through to the Martial Vein Quadruple Layer. I need a large amount of Breakthrough Pills, Heart-protecting Pills, and Vessel-protecting Pills, so you’ll have to make do for now."

From the sound of it, Ling Feng didn’t seem to plan on spending money on Ling Yu. He was now fully focused on breaking through to the Martial Vein Quadruple Layer, which required a considerable amount of pills.

Although he was also a member of the Ling Clan Main Family, his family’s circumstances weren’t as good as Ling Chong’s, and not even Ling Chong could be wasteful without limit.

The Ling Family was able to become one of the Four Great Families of Tianfeng City because their rules were really quite strict. Although there were occasional violators, they were the minority.

"All right, then how about buying two Qi Gathering Pills?"

Ling Yu was evidently somewhat unhappy as she pouted and spoke.

"Afraid of you, fine. It just so happens that using the Qi Gathering Pills, you can consolidate your current cultivation level."

Ling Feng nodded his head in agreement.
