: Buying Essence Pills and Selling Evil-Repelling Talismans!

An hour later, in the VIP room on the second floor of Yingbin Restaurant in Qinghe Town.

Song Linfeng sat upright, sipping tea, while a middle-aged man in a blue robe with a sword at his waist stood in front of him.

The middle-aged man in the blue robe clasped his hands in greeting to Song Linfeng and said, "Reporting to the Second Young Master, according to my investigation, the Xu family was attacked by the Wusheng Sect demons last night, and nearly half of the guards were lost. However, Lu Ze not only survived, but also killed four Wusheng Sect members with a flying knife and received a reward of 20 taels of silver from the Xu family."

Upon hearing this, Song Linfeng's lips curled into a slight smile, and he said, "Since Lu Ze killed the Wusheng Sect demon, it's only reasonable for him to be killed in retaliation by the Wusheng Sect demon!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man in the blue robe said, "Then shall I kill this man tonight?"

Song Linfeng shook his head and said, "The Wusheng Sect just caused such a big commotion. To avoid retaliation from the imperial court, they definitely won't take action in the near future. He Ting, wait half a month before you make your move!"

He Ting clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Yes, Second Young Master! By the way, should we also deal with Lin Feihu's eldest disciple, Chen Xiong?"

Song Linfeng shook his head and said, "No need! Chen Xiong was adopted by Lin Feihu when he was a child, and they have a deep bond. Lin Feihu already regards him as his successor. If we kill him now, Lin Feihu will never let it go and will definitely investigate to the end. Let me take down his daughter, Lin Muxue, first."

Not long after, Song Linfeng finished eating and drinking and left the restaurant, heading to the Black Tiger Martial Arts School.

Another hour passed, and back home.

Lu Ze slowly finished his practice, opened his eyes, and stood up to check his attribute panel. The Nine Yang Divine Skill (first level 20%) had increased by 10% in proficiency.

If one cultivates for four hours a day, the Nine Yang Divine Skill can be broken through to the second level in just four days.

This Nine Yang Divine Skill truly lives up to its reputation as an unparalleled divine skill; its cultivation speed far surpasses that of ordinary internal energy cultivation techniques!

Of course, this is also because Lu Ze has almost perfected his tendon training, his blood and essence are abundant, and he has enough meat to eat; otherwise, he wouldn't have such a fast cultivation speed!

Not long after, Lu Ze went to the Black Tiger Martial Arts School, only to find a group of elite soldiers in black armor escorting several richly dressed men and their families on the street.

These soldiers were all muscular and tall, clearly possessing considerable physical prowess.

These are the Xuanjia Army soldiers stationed to defend the outer city!

Lu Ze guessed the answer, a look of surprise appearing on his face, followed by a sudden realization. This was likely a capture of a heretic from the Wusheng Sect!

The Wusheng Sect caused such a huge commotion last night, almost wiping out the Xu family. Wouldn't all the families and forces in the outer city be in a state of panic?

Moreover, this also undermined the dignity of the imperial court!

Therefore, the Great Wei court will inevitably crack down on and eradicate the Wusheng Sect.

However, this Wusheng Sect is said to have a history of several hundred years, so it may not be so easy to eradicate.

Not long after, Lu Ze arrived at the Black Tiger Martial Arts School and asked Zhuo Yunfei about the types and prices of the pills in the outer courtyard.

Zhuo Yunfei said, "Junior Brother Lu, ordinary body-tempering martial artists mainly take Qi and Blood Pills, which can greatly replenish Qi and blood and increase cultivation speed! Each bottle of Qi and Blood Pills costs 10 taels of silver. Above that, there are Essence Pills, which are also very effective for experts above the Refining Martial Master level. Each bottle costs 100 taels of silver and contains only 9 pills."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze had an idea: he would buy one Essence Pill as the main ingredient for strengthening his internal energy.

He then went to the inner courtyard, found his senior brother Chen Xiong, and said, "Senior brother, I would like to buy a Spirit Essence Pill. Do you know how?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng smiled and said, "Of course, I also mainly use Essence Pills for cultivation, and I still have a few left. If you want them, I'll sell them to you for 11 taels of silver each."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze's expression brightened, and he clasped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Immediately, he took out his money bag, took out a large silver ingot of ten taels and two small silver ingots of one tael each, totaling 12 taels of silver, and handed them to Chen Xiongdao.

Seeing how sensible Lu Ze was, Chen Xiong didn't refuse. Instead, he took out a white jade bottle from his pocket, took out a red pill, and handed it to Lu Ze, saying, "Junior Brother Lu, if you need to buy Essence Pills in the future, you can get them from me. One pill costs only 11 taels. Don't give me any more."

Lu Ze accepted the Essence Pill and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Then, he stared at the Essence Pill.

Item: Essence Pill (Low Grade)

Quality: High-grade Mortal Rank

Effect: Greatly enhances a martial artist's Qi and blood, and increases the speed of body tempering techniques.

Enhancement: Requires at least 10 Source Points

Lu Ze put away the pills and went to the backyard to see his master, Lin Feihu, but he encountered his sixth senior sister, Lin Muxue.

At this moment, Lin Muxue was dressed in white, with a voluptuous figure and a radiant beauty.

She glanced at Lu Ze and asked, "Junior Brother Lu, do you have something to discuss with my father?"

Lu Ze nodded and asked, "Is Master here?"

Lin Muxue said, "My father is currently cultivating, so you can still contact me if you need anything."

Lu Ze thought for a moment and then said, "It's like this, I obtained a few low-level talismans and want to sell them. Does Senior Sister have any connections?"

He obtained four talismans for warding off evil, intending to keep one for upgrading and sell the other three to obtain cultivation resources.

Lin Muxue said, "Bring it here, I'll take a look at it for you."

Lu Ze took out a talisman from his pocket and handed it over.

Lin Muxue took the talisman, examined it, and said, "A first-grade inferior talisman has only one-third the effect of a low-grade talisman, and its shelf life is also shorter. It sells for ten taels of silver. This kind of talisman is quite commonly used and sells very well, so it can be sold. But this second-hand one, even without the spiritual power being consumed, can only sell for a maximum of nine taels of silver. However, since you are my junior brother, I can help you buy it."

After she finished speaking, she put away the talisman and took out 10 taels of silver, handing it to Lu Ze.

Lu Ze accepted the silver and said happily, "Thank you, Senior Sister!"

This senior sister is a nice person, I can get along with her!

Lu Ze hesitated for a moment, then took out two more talismans and asked, "Senior Sister, I have two more talismans here. Can you help me sell them? They'll only cost 17 taels."

Lin Muxue examined the talismans and said, "These two talismans of yours are full of spiritual light and their spiritual power has not been consumed. You can sell them to Second Senior Sister. She often goes out of the city with the Xuanjia Army to hunt ferocious beasts during the day, and the talismans are used up quite a bit. You can sell them to her."

If nighttime is the domain of monsters, then daytime is the domain of humans. The Xuanjia Army will unite some hunting teams to hunt ferocious beasts and earn cultivation resources.

The arable land in the outer city is limited, barely enough to feed so many people. The main source of cultivation resources for martial artists, such as the meat of ferocious beasts, is hunting outside the city.

"Thank you so much, Senior Sister!"

After Lu Ze finished speaking, he was about to leave.

Lin Muxue suddenly asked, "Wait, where did you get this talisman?"

Lu Ze did not hide anything and told the story of how the Wusheng Sect invaded the Xu family and how he killed four members of the Wusheng Sect.

Lin Muxue said in surprise, "Junior Brother Lu, I didn't realize your throwing knife skills were so strong. How about we spar sometime?"

"Senior sister is joking. I've only been a disciple for a little over two months. How could I dare to fight with you?"

After Lu Ze finished speaking, he took his leave.

Not long after, Lu Ze searched for his second senior sister in the inner courtyard, but found nothing.

Sure enough, he went hunting outside the city again.
