Chapter 22

The power was out, so I quickly came to the internet cafe to update a chapter. Please click and recommend!

In these three elixir formulas, apart from the Qi Condensing Pill, the other two were of great help to Ye Feng.

The Spirit Power Pill contained a large amount of spirit power. Ye Feng's current situation was that the spirit power he absorbed was insufficient, not even enough to refine his body, which made him very frustrated. With this Spirit Power Pill, it could greatly alleviate this problem.

After memorizing the elixir formulas in his mind, Ye Feng slightly increased the force in his right hand holding the formulas, and instantly they turned into a pile of paper scraps.

Possessing something valuable can bring disaster. If people knew that Ye Feng possessed these three elixir formulas, he might face a bloody disaster. Naturally, Ye Feng would not leave any traces.

Ye Feng went to the training ground and told Ma Kui, then left the Martial Arts Pavilion. For Ye Feng staying in the Martial Arts Pavilion for half a month to read miscellaneous skills and travelogues, although Ma Kui was curious, he did not say anything. After all, Ye Feng was not the first to do so.

When Ma Kui left the village years ago to venture out, he also supplemented his knowledge here.

One could say that anyone with ambition would supplement some basic knowledge about the Azure Sky Kingdom and the continent.

However, reality was cruel. In the end, those people, including Ma Kui, stopped at Green Frost City, at most venturing to Blue Water County. For hundreds of years, no one from their village or nearby villages had left the Azure Sky Kingdom, and even fewer had been to the capital, Azure Sky City.

...

The next day, Ye Feng appeared in Green Mountain Town in a tight-fitting outfit.

There were only two months left until the Dragon Gate Leap, and Ye Feng took this time to go out for training.

Ye Feng's current strength was not weak, but he had never fully unleashed it. He himself did not fully understand his own strength, so practical combat was the whetstone for Ye Feng to test his strength. Moreover, during his time in the Martial Arts Pavilion, he had already spent a lot of money, and earning money was now urgent.

The reason why quasi-warriors and warriors were all wealthy was simply because of their strength. With strength, they could hunt beasts and fierce beasts. Whether it was beasts or fierce beasts, the materials on their bodies were very valuable.

Weapons, elixirs, ingredients—everything people on the Heavenly Wolf Continent needed for life could be related to fierce beasts. Therefore, one could say that the Heavenly Wolf Mountains were a treasure trove for warriors. However, it was also a graveyard for warriors, with countless warriors dying in the Heavenly Wolf Mountains each year, nourishing the entire Heavenly Wolf Mountains with their blood and flesh.

The materials, herbs, and treasures produced in the Heavenly Wolf Mountains nurtured the entire Heavenly Wolf Continent, and warriors were the intermediaries. This was why warriors were so popular on the continent.

When Ye Feng arrived in Green Mountain Town, he did not rush to enter the mountains but appeared in the market. Of course, Ye Feng would not go to the main street or the side streets but came to another street.

This street was extremely narrow but the most bustling, with vendors' cries and shouts rising and falling, reminding Ye Feng of the markets in his previous life.

Throughout the Heavenly Wolf Continent, low-level warriors were the most numerous. The main street and side streets were places that low-level warriors could not go to, so this became the largest trading market in Green Mountain Town.

Even among the warriors in the market, there were not a few high-level warriors. In these miscellaneous markets, one might also buy good things. It was said that someone had bought a fifth-grade spirit medicine and precious minerals at a low price from the miscellaneous market.

When Ye Feng heard this, he immediately thought of the antique market in his previous life where people could find bargains.

The principle was the same. In the antique market, not only were there people from the lower levels, but also many rich merchants and experts.

"Take a look, take a look, top-quality Qi Condensing Pills, only five left, selling out soon!" While Ye Feng was leisurely browsing, a stall on the ground with a beast skin caught his attention. A burly man in his thirties was shouting.

When Ye Feng walked over, many people were already gathered around the stall.

"Brother, how much are these Qi Condensing Pills?" Ye Feng walked over, and a warrior in his forties in a tight-fitting outfit asked the burly man.

"Ha, you asked the right person. I have an urgent matter, so I'm selling all the Qi Condensing Pills at a discount, two thousand taels each!" The stall owner laughed and said after hearing the question from the warrior in his forties.

"Two thousand taels? So cheap? They can't be fake, right!"

"How could they be? You can check the goods! If it weren't for a weapon I have my eye on, I wouldn't sell them so cheaply!"

Actually, when he said two thousand taels, not only the warrior in the tight-fitting outfit but also Ye Feng's heart stirred. If it was a Qi Condensing Pill, this was absolutely not expensive. Generally, Qi Condensing Pills cost around four thousand taels, and they were in high demand. The main reason was the scarcity of Qi Condensing Pills, which were controlled by major families. Even if you had the money, you couldn't buy them, and they could be hyped up to six or seven thousand taels.

"Alright, let me see!"

The warrior in the tight-fitting outfit finished speaking, took the porcelain bottle from the stall owner, and smelled it.

Instantly, a look of joy appeared on the warrior's face. "Not bad, they're real, I'll take one!"

The warrior in the tight-fitting outfit took out a stack of silver bills from his chest, counted them, and his face showed a hint of distress. "Brother, look, I spent too much today, I only have one thousand nine hundred taels left. Sell it to me!"

"Hmm......"

"Forget it, forget it. I just opened today, and seeing this brother is so generous, one thousand nine hundred taels it is......"

The stall owner pondered for a moment, showing a look of difficulty. But in the end, he sold the Qi Condensing Pill to the warrior in the tight-fitting outfit.

Hearing the stall owner agree, the warrior in the tight-fitting outfit quickly handed over the silver bills and grabbed the porcelain bottle, quickly disappearing into the crowd.

"Boom......"

"I want one......"

"Save one for me......"

"......"

As soon as the warrior in the tight-fitting outfit left, the people around him surged forward, shouting at the stall owner.

"Don't rush, don't rush......" The stall owner looked at the surging crowd, smiled, and kept shouting, but his hands did not slow down in collecting money and giving out the pills. In an instant, the remaining four pills were sold out.

Those who bought the pills tightly held them in their chests and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Possessing something valuable can bring disaster. Who would dare to run around with such valuable items? Moreover, most of the people buying the pills were quasi-warriors.

The Qi Condensing Pill was of great importance to quasi-warriors, more so than to warriors. After seeing the pills sold out, many people showed disappointed looks. Two thousand taels was not a small amount, but the quasi-warriors could still afford it by exhausting their wealth. Compared to silver, they preferred the Qi Condensing Pill.

Moreover, this was more than half the price of the main street's specialty stores. Besides, the Qi Condensing Pills in the main street stores were too expensive for them, or they simply couldn't buy them.

"Boss, do you have any more Qi Condensing Pills?"

"I do, but you know, I need them too......"

"Alright, boss, I'll give you two thousand five hundred taels for one more!"

"This...... Alright, seeing your sincerity, I'll sell you one more!"

"I'll give you two thousand six hundred......"

"I'll give you two thousand seven hundred......"

"Damn it, I'm going all in. I have four more, three thousand taels each, hurry up!"

"I want one......"

"I want one......"

Three thousand taels was expensive, but if one could buy a Qi Condensing Pill, it was still worth it. After all, earning money was for improving one's cultivation. Moreover, it was much cheaper than in the stores.

The transactions were quickly completed, and those who bought the pills all lowered their heads and hurriedly left the market.

The stall owner stuffed the silver bills into his chest and instantly disappeared into the crowd, not even bothering to pick up the beast skin on the ground.

After watching all this, Ye Feng felt something was off, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was.

However, seeing so many people so enthusiastic about the Qi Condensing Pills, Ye Feng felt a hint of joy. Although he couldn't refine elixirs, making something comparable to a Qi Condensing Pill was not a problem.

Seeing the crowd disperse, Ye Feng turned and walked away.

"Ah, ah, ah...... scammer......"

"Give me back my silver......"

Just as Ye Feng took a few steps, several cries of distress came from a distance, and several figures rushed over from all directions.

When they arrived, they saw the empty stall and started shouting wildly, drawing the attention of passersby.

"Brother Li, what happened?"

Two people seemed to know one of the shouting men and asked.

"Damn it, I was scammed. These Qi Condensing Pills are fake, ah, ah! My silver!" The man stopped to explain and then started shouting again.

This scene stunned Ye Feng, not just him, but in a moment, those who had bought the Qi Condensing Pills earlier rushed back, except for the first buyer.

At this moment, Ye Feng understood what had happened. They had been tricked by two people working together. Not only did Ye Feng understand, but others did too.

"Find them and chop them up!"

However, the people were long gone, leaving them helpless. They could only throw the porcelain bottles on the ground, pick up their knives, and leave the market, cursing. A year's savings were gone in a day, and they would not let this go easily.
