With the help of the Medical Saint, Fang Chen's injuries were initially under control. Now, as long as he could find a large number of herbs, he would be able to start healing.
A month later, Qing Hou and the barbarian returned to the courtyard.
The two of them took many detours to ensure that no one was following them before they carefully returned.
"We've bought all the herbs in Demon Calling City." Qing Hou took out all the herbs he had purchased and handed them to the Medical Saint.
The latter examined them briefly, then shook his head and said, "The effects of the Flame Dragon's Blood and the Scarlet Ghost Lotus are very overbearing. If you want to neutralize the effects of these two herbs, you'll need a large number of supplementary materials."
The Medical Saint said, "You'll need to buy at least ten portions of this scale."
Hearing this, Qing Hou and the barbarian looked at each other and nodded heavily.
"Senior Medical Saint, Demon Calling City no longer has these 95 herbs. If you want to buy them, you'll have to go to other cities.
I hope you can take care of my brother during this period. "Qing Hou cupped his fists.
"Don't worry."
The Medical Saint nodded.
Glancing at the unconscious Fang Chen, the scene of Great Emperor Xu Xuan rescuing him back then appeared in the Medical Saint's mind.
When he thought of this, he felt dejected and heaved a sigh.
Even a supreme powerhouse like Great Emperor Xu Xuan could fall. Was there a true immortal in this world?
Was the Ancient God Realm really the end of the martial path?
… …
Distant Demon City, a city thousands of miles away from Demon Calling City.
There were a total of five cities at the edge of the Great Demon Sky.
Each city was as big as Fiend Summoning City, but they were not as prosperous as Fiend Summoning City.
This was because Demon Calling City had the skeletons of top Venerables, which attracted countless martial artists.
Qing Hou and the barbarian came to Distant Demon City and asked around carefully. They learned that there were a total of three chambers of commerce in this city. Among them, the Zong Family branch was the strongest. The other two forces were slightly inferior.
However, they didn't care as long as they could buy these herbs.
Qing Hou played with the spatial ring in his hand and chuckled. "Fortunately, Senior Medical Sage sponsored us with some source stones. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to afford it."
According to the Holy Doctor, he would need at least ten sets of herbs to neutralize the Flame Dragon's Blood and the Scarlet Ghost Lotus.
But now, they had only obtained one after plundering the entire Devil Summoning City. They still needed nine more.
A single portion cost a million high-grade Origin Stones. Ten portions would be ten million high-grade Origin Stones, which was an enormous sum.
Ordinary Profound God Realm sovereigns were also unable to take out so much.
"I'll go to the Zong Family branch, you go to the other two merchant associations."
Qing Hou and the barbarian discussed for a while and finally decided.
The two of them split up, and Qing Hou arrived at the Zong Family branch.
"Sir, what do you need?"
As soon as he entered the nine-story pavilion of the branch, a staff member ran out happily and asked politely.
Qing Hou handed a list to the staff member. The latter looked at it and said, "There are a total of 95 herbs on it. We have all of them here. How many do you need?"
"I'll take as many as you have." Qing Hou said indifferently.
He wore a bamboo hat on his head that blocked the probing of primordial spirit, appearing very mysterious.
"This … I'll need to ask our president."
After saying that, the staff member quickly ran to the second floor.
In a spacious room on the second floor, a middle-aged man was fuming.
"Take a look, how much profit has our merchant association made in this year?"
The middle-aged man swung his hand and threw a booklet on the table. He was very angry.
"The profits of the other cities are several times ours."
The president continued, "And our merchant association is the one with the least profit among all the branches in the Great Devil Sky. Tell me, what have you done in this year?"
The president was also a little anxious. After a period of time, the presidents of the various branches would go to the Tianqing Ancestral Residence to participate in a meeting at the headquarters.
At the meeting, the presidents of each branch would have to report on the situation in recent years.
Under such circumstances, how could he have the face to report?
Thinking about the business situation of the merchant association and the trouble it might bring to him, the president was very angry.
"I don't care what method you use, you must suppress the other two branches," the president roared.
Thump, thump, thump!
The staff member did not knock on the door and rushed in.
"Get out."
The president was already very annoyed. When he saw the staff member, he frowned and scolded him directly.
"Sir President …"
Seeing that the president was angry, the staff member hurriedly explained, "There's a customer downstairs who has placed a very large order and needs …"
Before the staff member could finish, the president waved his hand impatiently. "Do you still need me for this kind of thing?"
"Go find Manager Li and let him handle it."
The staff member's body trembled, and his heart was filled with fear. He nodded and quickly left.
"Wait."
Suddenly, the president said, "How large is the order?"
"One million," the staff member said.
"One million mid-grade origin stones?
This kind of order is considered a large order? "
The president's face darkened. "Looks like you've really been idling around all these years. Even one million mid-grade origin stones is considered a large order."
The president was completely enraged.
The branch's business was not good to begin with, and in the past year, it had plummeted.
Now, even an order of one million mid-grade origin stones was troubling him.
"No, no …" The staff member stammered.
The staff member stammered, "It's a high-grade Origin Stone."
He muttered softly, but the president still heard him.
"What?
High-grade origin stones?
Are you sure? "
The president did not believe it at all. What a joke. In Distant Demon City, no one other than a few major families had the ability to place an order of one million high-grade origin stones in one go.
"I'm sure. It's high-grade origin stones."
With that, the staff member handed the order to the president.
The latter's expression was normal at first, but when he saw the order, his face flushed red and he jumped up excitedly.
"This …"
The president shouted excitedly, "It's really an order of one million high-grade origin stones. Hahaha, I can finally hold my head high in the headquarters meeting.
Is it the Zhang family or the Li family's order? "
The staff member shook his head. "Neither. It's a mysterious person."
"Oh?"
The president's eyes flickered, and then he said, "Bring me to see this mysterious person."
In the hall, Qing Hou waited for a moment, and the staff member quickly brought a middle-aged fatty down.
"Sir, this is the president of our branch." The staff member introduced each other.
"I'm the president of the Zong family branch. Are you the one who placed this order?" the president asked.
Qing Hou nodded.
"Our branch only has this much in stock. If you need it …"
"Prepare it for me now."
With that, Qing Hou waved his hand, and a mountain of origin stones appeared in the hall.
Seeing this, the president's eyes were dazzled, and he shouted excitedly.
"Don't worry, I'll prepare it for you now."
He did not trust others, so he prepared it himself.
A few days later, the president found Qing Hou.
"This is your order. Originally, it was one million high-grade origin stones, but since you placed such a large order at once, I'll give you a discount. 900,000 high-grade origin stones will do." The president said.
After Qing Hou paid enough origin stones, he took the spatial ring and left the Zong family chamber of commerce.
Seeing Qing Hou's disappearing figure, the president's eyes flashed with killing intent.
"Rip!"
His figure disappeared into thin air from the hall.
After Qing Hou got the herbs, he met up with the barbarian at the agreed location.
"How was it?" Qing Hou asked.
"Everything went well." The barbarian shook the spatial ring in his hand.
"Including your share, a total of three. We can go to the next city."
"Okay, let's go."
The two quickly disappeared from Demonic Beast City.
Hu hu hu!
Walking on the wasteland outside Demonic Beast City, Qing Hou and the barbarian looked at each other, and quietly rushed toward a remote place.
After a long while, the two of them arrived at a desolate wasteland.
"Aren't you tired after following me for so long?" Qing Hou stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently.
Huala!
The branch president appeared from the void.
"The Zong Clan's merchant association is truly black-hearted." Qing Hou commented.
"Hmph, the Great Devil Realm is the territory of my Zong Clan. Do you think you can leave safely without paying a little protection fee?"
