Warrior's Market
After finding Yang Lingqing, Long Chen stopped his conversation with Lingxi.
Yang Lingqing had lost to Yang Lingyue at the clan meeting, but she wasn't discouraged. Instead, she worked even harder.
Seeing that Long Chen had come to look for her, she felt very conflicted. She could only treat Long Chen coldly.
"Why are you looking for me?"
She was very clear about the grudge between Long Chen and his brother, but it had always been a small quarrel. Even if Long Chen had stripped Yang Zhan's clothes in public, she didn't think much of it. Yang Zhan wasn't a little girl, but Yang Zhan couldn't bear the shame and committed suicide. This matter was complicated.
Yang Lingqing thought that Long Chen had done it unintentionally, but Yang Zhan had died because of his carelessness. Although she didn't get along with her brother since young, blood was still thicker than water.
Seeing the anger in Yang Lingqing's eyes, Long Chen knew that he had caused her a lot of pain. He felt a little bad and said, "I didn't think about your brother's matter. I can only apologize.
The reason I'm here today is to ask you some questions. "
Yang Lingqing said indifferently, "Ask whatever you want to ask.
I still need to cultivate. The Demon Hunting Competition is just around the corner. I don't want to lose to the Bai Clan. "
"I need medicine to nourish my soul. Do you know where I can get it?
Do we have it in our clan? "
Long Chen asked expectantly. Yang Lingqing was a little cold to him, so he was worried that she wouldn't help him.
However, he was gauging the heart of a gentleman with his own mean measure.
"Our clan shouldn't have such medicine, but we can go to the medicine shops in the market. Many of the medicines in the shops are sold to them by cultivators, or they can get them directly from some big cities. I believe they should have it."
Yang Lingqing thought about it.
Long Chen had always been fooling around in restaurants and brothels, so he didn't know what a market was, so he asked, "Where is this market?"
Yang Lingqing snappily said, "The Martial Artist's Market is indeed quite hidden. Alright, I'll accompany you there."
Long Chen looked at her gratefully. Although this girl hated Long Chen, when Long Chen was in need, she would still do her best to help. Her character was indeed much better than Yang Lingyue and Yang Wu.
Yang Lingqing and Long Chen walking together was indeed quite eye-catching, but they couldn't say anything. After all, they were the Young Master and Young Miss of the Yang Family.
Long Chen's reputation had spread throughout Baiyang Town in the past few days. He had become a household name in Baiyang Town. Many people knew him in the past, but he had always been the target of disdain. Who would have thought that in just one month, he would have a complete turnaround and become the most famous young man in Baiyang Town?
"Oh right, you were so fast when you practiced Meteor Fist, how's the Dragon Seal?"
On the way, Yang Lingqing suddenly asked.
Long Chen smiled faintly and said, "Are you jealous?
I can still teach you, but can you call me Chen? "
Yang Lingqing immediately turned her face away and snappily said, "I'm only at the fifth layer of Dragon Vein Realm, I don't have Qi to practice the Dragon Seal, and I have to rely on my own strength to obtain the Dragon Seal!"
Looking at this girl's stubborn gaze, Long Chen secretly admired her.
After walking for a while, Yang Lingqing frowned and said, "You're also at the fifth layer of Dragon Vein Realm, and the Dragon Seal is a high-grade cultivation technique. It's useless for you. Why not give it to Sister Lingyue? Her strength is close to the seventh layer of Dragon Vein Realm, maybe there's some hope …"
After all, it was a high-grade cultivation technique, and he was indeed only at the fifth layer of Dragon Vein Realm. Long Chen was not surprised that Yang Lingqing did not think highly of him.
He only smiled faintly and did not say anything.
"Long Chen, you know about the Demon Hunting Competition, right?
The Bai Family is already stronger than our Yang Family. If they manage to manage Baiyang Town, our Yang Family will probably have a hard time.
Right now, almost everyone in Baiyang Town has begun to tacitly agree that the Bai Family will become the manager of Baiyang Town in the future, and will become a part of the Lingwu family's power in Yuan Ling City, exercising the power of the Lingwu family! "
Long Chen had heard of the Lingwu family in Yuan Ling City before. This was the number one family in Yuan Ling County appointed by the Cangyang Kingdom's royal family. They had the power to manage the entire Yuan Ling County, and could be considered as the super overlord of the entire Yuan Ling County. If one became the manager of Baiyang Town, they would undoubtedly receive the protection of the Lingwu family, and would also receive great profits.
So even though the Yang Family's Old Ancestor and Bai Family's Patriarch were like brothers, they also wanted to fight for it this time.
Long Chen smiled and said, "That's because they are ignorant!"
Yang Lingqing tucked her long hair behind her ears, and her eyes revealed a trace of helplessness as she said, "Among the young experts of our Yang Family, there are Big Brother Yang Wu, Sister Lingyue, and you. At most, we have one Level 7 Dragon Vein and two Level 6 Dragon Vein."
"The Bai Family has two Level 6 and Level 7 Dragon Vein respectively. Bai Shiji's cultivation is the same as Big Brother Yang Wu's, but Bai Shichen reached Level 7 Dragon Vein at the age of seventeen, and was the first person to reach Level 7 Dragon Vein. His cultivation is unfathomable, and he has always been the number one expert of the younger generation in Baiyang Town."
Long Chen asked doubtfully, "But they are both Level 7 Dragon Vein, what's so special about Bai Shichen?"
Yang Lingqing shook her head and said, "You don't know, but it is said that he is about to break through to Level 8 Dragon Vein. Moreover, it is said that he has already learned the second finger of the Bai Family's high-grade Yellow Rank Nether Finger!
The Nether Finger is even stronger than our Yang Family's Dragon Seal. Our Dragon Seal has two moves, but the Nether Finger has three, and the attack power of the second finger far surpasses the Azure Dragon Seal. Big Brother Yang Wu has only learned the Azure Dragon Seal. "
When Yang Lingqing described Bai Shichen, her tone was filled with helplessness.
"The seventh level of the Dragon Vein stage, the Nether Heaven Finger?
It is indeed terrifying.
But I, Long Chen, only lost to him in terms of Qi. "
At this time, Yang Lingqing turned her head to look at him and said, "With Bai Shichen, it is possible for the Bai Family to hunt Level 8 Yellow Rank Demonic Beasts. Tell me, how can our Yang Family be a match for them?"
Long Chen did not know how to answer her, so he said, "There is no need to be discouraged now. If I admit defeat before it even starts, that would be the behavior of a coward. In any case, I, Long Chen, am not a coward. When the time comes, who cares what Bai he is, even if he is white, I will beat him black!"
Yang Lingqing couldn't stand Long Chen's occasional flippancy. She rolled her eyes at Long Chen and said, "You still haven't changed your bad habit of bragging. You and the Bai Clan have a huge feud. Speaking of which, you'll be the one in the most danger during the Demon-Hunting Tournament. I think you'd better focus on your cultivation. When the time comes, you'd better hide far away to avoid being humiliated …"
Long Chen hurriedly said, "Alright, great aunt, this lowly one understands."
However, he laughed coldly in his heart and thought to himself, Hide further away?
That is not my style. "
Seeing that Long Chen was still indifferent, Yang Lingqing was really speechless.
In the blink of an eye, Long Chen followed Yang Lingqing into a tall loft, turned a few corridors, and entered a door. He did not expect to see a wide and open world in front of him.
Looking at the streets and shops in front of him, Long Chen was a little dazed.
"This is the Warrior's Market Square, but I do not know about the spiritual herbs you are looking for. You should go ask yourself. You have been smart since you were young, so you will not be cheated by others.
I have almost reached Dragon Vein Stage 6, but I am always lacking an opportunity. Since I am here, I will go look for it myself, so that I will not be angered to death by you. "
After saying that, she did not ask for Long Chen's opinion and turned into one of the streets.
There were many cultivators in Baiyang Town. With a glance, Long Chen could see more than a hundred people walking on the street. They were all cultivators, and there were even some experts hidden among them.
"This Warrior's Market is a place where crouching tigers and hidden dragons are."
"Little Xi, can you sense the presence of any soul-nurturing medicine?"
Lingxi's weak voice sounded in his ear, "Come a little closer, I can't sense it if you are too far away.
In this small town, such herbs should be quite rare. I need to search carefully … "
Lingxi's voice became much weaker. Long Chen was also very anxious, so he kept praying in his heart that he must find that herb.
After making up his mind, Long Chen entered the first medicine shop. There were many shops in the Warrior's Market, some forging weapons, some selling spiritual herbs, and some pawnshops.
These pawnshops mainly collected materials from demonic beasts, as well as some rare treasures.
Of course, if there were pawns, there would be people buying them. In any case, almost everything a cultivator needed could be found here.
Walking into the first medicine shop, Long Chen smelled a rich medicinal fragrance. Even spiritual herbs like the Mountain Monster Ginseng could be found here. Long Chen had already observed that transactions here were conducted using spirit jades. No matter how much gold or silver one had, it didn't count. He only had five hundred spirit jades, so he knew he had to use them sparingly.
These five hundred spirit jades were given to him by the Yang Family Ancestor for cultivation, but in order to save Lingxi's life, Long Chen couldn't care less.
Long Chen pretended to look around and walked around the shop. In fact, the one looking was Lingxi, but after walking around, he found that she wasn't there.
Long Chen anxiously found the shop owner, a stern middle-aged man, and asked, "Excuse me, does your shop sell spiritual herbs?"
The shop owner was startled and said, "I'm sorry, we don't."
Long Chen's face was filled with disappointment.
"Young man, in a small town like Baiyang Town, spiritual herbs basically can't be sold, so shops like mine usually don't sell them. But if you really need it, you can try other shops."
Long Chen nodded his head and thanked the shop owner. Only then did he walk out of the medicine shop and anxiously asked Ling Xi, "From what he said, it seems like Baiyang Town doesn't have this kind of medicine at all.
"Then what should I do …"
Little Xi's voice was filled with panic.
Baiyang Town's seclusion had exceeded her imagination.
Long Chen clenched his fists, "No, I haven't looked at the other shops yet, so I can't make a conclusion yet. I'll continue looking, I don't believe there isn't even a single spiritual herb in such a big Martial Artist's Market!"
Saying so, he went searching one shop after another. In the Martial Artist's Market, there were no less than fifty medicine shops. Long Chen spent a lot of time asking them one by one, but this was only secondary. What worried him the most was that the results he got were all bad news.
"I'm sorry, we don't have this kind of spiritual herb."
"We don't usually sell it."
"We don't usually accept this kind of herb."
Long Chen's face darkened, and his heart became more and more anxious.
"If you really can't find it, then forget it. Ever since my body was destroyed, I know I don't have much time left. But Long Chen, being able to meet you, it's really good …"
Long Chen's eyes gradually turned red, he growled, "Don't say such nonsense, don't we still have shops to search?
I don't believe I can't even do such a small thing. If I can't find it in Baiyang Town, then I'll go somewhere else. What stupid Beast Hunting Competition, I won't participate anymore! "
"That won't do, and I still have to help you remove that seal …"
Just when the two were at their wits' end, suddenly a few explosions sounded. The pedestrians on the road all moved towards the source of the sound. Long Chen originally didn't want to care, but soon someone said, "It seems like a little girl from the Yang Clan had a conflict with the Bai Clan!"
"Yang Lingqing?"
