Chapter 19: Malice Arises Abruptly

ded by Heavenly Immortal realm powerhouses. There's also a considerable element of luck involved. However, regardless of which faction in Heaven Court, there are numerous Heavenly Immortal-level power...Lu Xia Tian took down a wooden box from the carriage and opened it. Inside, lay three plants of purple seven-leaf lingzhi.

"How much does this apothecary charge for this herb" Lu Xiaotian suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked calmly. In his eyes, this spiritual herb was countless times more valuable than that yellow ginseng, but he didn't know how much it was worth in the eyes of these ordinary people.

"If the shopkeeper asks for an exorbitant price, our deal is off." Lu Xia Tian saw a flicker in the fat shopkeeper's eyes and said indifferently. At this moment, the more he pretended to care about the herbs, the worse it would be for the shopkeeper.

"This purple grass is somewhat helpful in regulating one's qi and blood, its effects are not bad. Logically speaking, adding them all together wouldn't be as effective as a single Huangjing. But rarity makes things precious. This purple grass is rarer than even a hundred-year-old Huangjing. If the young master could have two such Huangjings, then I would agree to this deal. These three sprigs of purple grass would belong to the young master." The fat shopkeeper pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Even if it's rare, I need to see how this thing regulates qi and blood. This yellow ginseng for three purple herbs It does have some use for me, but it's not indispensable." Lu Xia Tian said impatiently, "If it doesn't work, I'll go to the next stall."

“You’re quite a shrewd young man. Fine, I’ll consider you my friend.” Realizing he couldn't gain more advantage, the fat shopkeeper chuckled wryly. He didn't notice anything special about these few stalks of purple grass yet, to be able to trade for this forty-year-old yellow ginseng. It was a very worthwhile deal after all.

"Farewell!" Lu Xia Tian put away the Lingcao and threw the Huangjing to the fat shopkeeper, bowed his hand and said, using an ordinary wooden box to hold this kind of spirit grass, its spirituality would be lost, it must be used with a spiritual jade box, but at this time, if he took out the jade box from his storage bag, it would be too shocking. It's best to leave as soon as possible now.

"I wonder if my young friend has any more such valuable herbs. Miaozhi Hall will buy them all at a high price." After receiving the Yellow Ginseng, the fat shopkeeper looked at Lu Xiaitian's bulging backpack with a smile on his face.

“If I need it later, or if Miaozhi Hall still has this purple grass, I'll come back.” Lu XiaTian frowned slightly, left these words, and went out.

Lu Xiaitian had just stepped out when the fat shopkeeper clapped his hands twice. From behind the pharmacy, a powerful young martial artist walked out. "What orders does Ma shopkeeper have"

"Follow that boy from before, keep up with him and see what use those purple herbs he obtained have. Also, if the situation allows, try to probe his pack to see if there are any other valuable medicinal herbs inside."

The smile on Ma's face rippled, appearing quite dignified before the young martial artist. These few sprigs of purple grass were nothing more than common medicinal herbs for regulating qi and blood in his eyes, their properties slightly fierce, not top-grade. Yet Lu Xiaoteng was willing to trade them for this forty-plus year old yellow ginseng, which was quite unexpected. The purple grass held little use in his hands; if he could unravel its special purpose through this young man, it wouldn't be an unwelcome gain.

“Yes!”

The young martial artist bowed and accepted the order, then flashed out of Miaozhi Hall, trailing behind Lu Xia Tian. Looking at Lu Xia Tian's bulging backpack, a greedy glint flashed across the young martial artist's face. Being able to casually take out a Huangjing that was over forty years old wasn't something ordinary people could do. Moreover, what Lu Xia Tian said before leaving – that similar transactions could be made again – didn't it mean there were even more valuable or even more precious medicinal herbs in the backpack

His annual salary was less than thirty taels of silver. As he followed Lu Xiaottian out of the county, they arrived at a barren place north of the city. The young martial artist glanced around, noticing that there was no one in sight. Then, he shouted confidently, “Boy, stop!”

"Is there anything you need" Lu Xia Tian turned around and said.

“Leave your package and those few sprigs of purple herbs behind, and get out of here!” the young martial artist snorted.

"You are from Miaozhi Hall, but did your shopkeeper order you to do this" Lu Xiaoteng asked.

"You don't need to know about that. While I still have some patience, you better do as I say. Otherwise, another corpse in the wilderness is perfectly normal." The young martial artist slowly pressed towards Lu Xia Tian.

"If you have the guts, come and get it yourself."

Lu Xia Tian spread his hands. At this time, the flower leopard had quietly appeared behind the young martial artist not far away. The flower leopard looked bigger than a normal leopard by a few circles. If it were brought into the county town, I'm afraid it would cause panic in the county town and lead to a siege by the government army, so Lu Xia Tian kept it waiting in the wilderness outside the city.

A few small green ants also landed in the grass. In fact, he had noticed them since the young martial artist left Miaozhi Hall. However, he wanted to see what the other party was going to do. He just didn't expect this young martial artist's mind to be so vicious.

“Since you seek death so desperately, then don't blame me.” The young warrior grinned, his feet pounding the ground as he suddenly lashed out with a claw towards Lu Xiaottian’s head.

Thus, it's no wonder I feel this way. Lu Xia Tian's expression turned cold. The martial artist who was once swift and agile in his eyes now appeared clumsy and slow when displaying his skills. It seemed that the changes in his body were a result of cultivating the Xuan Yuan Scripture. Lu Xia Tian remained calm, he did not order Hua Bao to act, but instead drew out his dagger and with lightning speed, slashed across the young martial artist's wrist as he reached for him.

The young martial artist only felt a flash before his eyes, followed by a scream as he clutched his right wrist, which was bleeding profusely. He looked at Lu Xia Tian in disbelief, unable to believe that this seemingly ordinary youth's movements were so fast.

"Go back and tell your shopkeeper to stop scheming, or next time it won't be just a broken wrist."

Lu Xia Tian said coldly, the black-robed elder was still lurking in his sea of consciousness at this time, and he didn't know when he would break free. Although he was young now, the existence of the black-robed elder reminded him that he must get rid of him as soon as possible, otherwise it would always be a sword hanging over his head. He didn't want to make things difficult with Miaozhi Tang for the time being, after all, he had only obtained spiritual herbs from Miaozhi Tang temporarily. Otherwise, based on the actions of the young warrior just now, he would have slashed at his neck.

"Yes, yes!" The young martial artist's face was filled with terror. Having his right hand crippled was like losing half his strength. Faced with Lu Xia Tian, he didn't dare to stay any longer. He scurried away like a rabbit, running back the way he came.

Lu Xia Tian looked around, making sure no one was watching, then carefully put several herbs into jade boxes. He entered the forest and found a relatively hidden cave. After cleaning it out, he took out a herb, plucked a leaf from it, and swallowed it.

A massive and ferocious spiritual energy opened within his body, he guided this energy to circulate within his meridians with his consciousness.

"Huh"

Lu Xia Tian soon discovered that besides the portion absorbed and transformed by his meridians and dantian, a considerable amount of spiritual energy was slowly disappearing within his body. Only a small portion was transformed into Yuan Qi within his meridians. He was taken aback. His Yuanshen moved, arriving at the mysterious boundary zone within his body. At this time, amidst the originally white mist, wisps of green mist were wandering about. These wisps faintly emitted a lively aura, enticing him to approach them.e entire fairy world is vast and boundless.
