Chapter 10
Chapter 10 – Ling Dan
After picking up the loot from Li Laosan and taking revenge for being toyed with by him in his previous life without his knowledge, Yang Junshan felt a little at ease.
However, after walking around the grass market for a while, he did not find anything that caught his eyes. It was not because he did not have anything worth buying for future purposes, but rather, it was because Yang Junshan did not have much stone coins on him.
The few hundred stone coins that he had saved up over the years, along with the Jade Coinhat he had received from Zhang Huzi and the others, were not more than 300. He had used up more than half of the stone coins just now, and now, Yang Junshan only had 130 stone coins on him.
He boughotal of sixty iron arrows from a smithy in the town. These arrows were made entirely out of black iron, and the arrows were made from fine steel. With the addition of a strong bow, they could even penetrate the skin of a high-level vicious beast at a suitable distance.
In his previous life, Yang Junshan had also bought Iron Feather Arrows here, but because he had previously been extorted by Li Laosan and the stone coins on him were incomparable to what he was now, he only boughot of thirty arrows, which was shot out not long after he entered the Banyan Mountain.
Now, not only had Yang Junshan bought an extra pot, his shooting skills had also improved a lot compared to his previous world, and his hunting experience was also much richer.
These 60 iron arrows cost Yang Junshan 100 stone coins, and that was when the blacksmith saw him, a child, coming over to buy something. When he asked his family’s master, Yang Junshan purposely revealed the benefits his father, Yang Tiangang, received from his great name.
With these sixty iron arrows, Yang Junshan’s trip to Banyan Mountain was even more secure. However, with this, the Sang Mu bow that Yang Tiangang gave him just now became soft.
In fact, after practising Mang Ox Fist this morning, Yang Junshan had already felt his strength increase greatly. This feeling became even more evident when he had been practicing shooting with Sang Mu Bow later on.
A good bow’s value was not cheap, it was even more expensive than a hundred refined weapon, but Yang Junshan currently did not have much stone coins on him, let alone a good bow, he couldn’t even afford a Sang Mu Bow.
However, Yang Junshan knew that his father Yang Tiangang should have a decent bow in his hands. It was said that Yang Tiangang had used it when he was young, and he wondered if he could pull it out.
After buying two bottles of Iron Feather Arrow, Yang Junshan only had a mere thirty stone coins left on him. He unconsciously reached out and touched the Rust Stone on his chest.
After saving his pocket money for all these years, he had spent almost all of it in one day. After calculating what else he could buy with these thirty or so stone coins, he saw the herb shop on the side of Grass Market Street.
However, they were mostly made with low level spirit herbs mixed with ordinary herbs, and had some effect on cultivators at the early stage of Mortal Realm. Furthermore, at the high stage of Mortal Realm, cultivators had established Immortal Foundation and were able to use immortal arts, so if there were any injuries that could be healed by these spirit medicines, then what cultivators would need at that time was pills.
But for a cultivator like Yang Junshan who had not even completed the first level of Mortal Realm, the medicine paste in the Spirit Grass Store that was made from a mixture of spirit herbs and normal herbs was enough to treat injuries.
35 stone coins. Once again, on account of the fact that he was a child and the little packhorse beast outside the shop, the shopkeeper gave him 4 pieces of the medicine pasted on the 10 stone coins each.
After placing the medicine inside the bag on the small packhorse beast’s back, Yang Junshan patted his shriveled chest and finally no longer had any stone coins left.
Looking at the color of the sky, it seemed that his father was still not coming out from the Town Security, Yang Junshan started strolling in the grass market bored, while casually sizing up the items displayed on the shops on both sides of the street, and at the same time walking towards the Town Security.
The Town Security was naturally the center of the Wasteland Town, and because it was usually the place where the Wasteland Town’s martial arts realm experts gathered, whenever a grass market appeared, the people who set up shops near the town would be few in number. Those traveling cultivators didn’t dare to dirty the eyes of the martial arts realm experts with their trash.
However, those who actually dared to set up stalls near the government court were the wandering practitioners who were confident in their own goods. Therefore, the most boisterous place in Grass City was not around the government courthouse, but rather, the best thing in Grass City.
At this time, Yang Junshan was squatting in front of a stall that had eight or nine exquisite wooden boxes, drooling over the pills inside. Not only Yang Junshan, but even the other people who passed by this stall would often stop and stare at the pills in the wooden boxes in front of the stall with envy.
This stall belonged to a cold and arrogant black clothed cultivator. From the moment Yang Junshan had squatted here, this cold and stern looking cultivator had been sitting there with his eyes closed, motionless. It was clear that this cold and arrogant cultivator was extremely confident in his own things, and completely ignored those who tried to negotiate with him.
But from Yang Junshan’s point of view, the pills sold by this cold looking cultivator could only be considered medicine pills, not elixirs. At most, the creators of these medicine pills could only be considered pill refiners, they were still a step away from being true pill refiners.
Originally, Yang Junshan thought that the cultivator in front of him would give off the feeling that he was the pill refiner, but after looking at the pills in the wooden box, Yang Junshan dispelled his previous thoughts. The owner of the pill before him obviously thought that he waill refiner, so he intentionally made such a cold expression because of the price tag.
Although all of these pills were only at the medicinal pill stage, and were all made from secretly boiling spirit grass with secret techniques, they were clearly much more profound when compared to the medicinal paste that was made from a mixture of spirit grass and ordinary herbs. Among these pills, Yang Junshan was able to use a few of them well suited for a cultivator who had just entered the Mortal Realm.
The box that Yang Junshan was paying attention to was the Spirit Attraction Pill that the cultivators who had just started to use, this kind of pill would be beneficial to Yang Junshan’s cultivation.
But the price …
The price that the arrogant cultivator had indicated on the box was actually five Jade Coins!
Five Jade Coins s, Yang Junshan felain in his teeth just by looking at the selling price, it was just an ordinary pill, a box of Spirit Summoning Pills was at most worth three Jade Coins s, but in this small and desolate town, most Spiritual Farmers would not even see a few pills, this cold and arrogant cultivator clearly showed that he was fearless.
Even so, Yang Junshan still looked at the ten Spirit Summoning Pills that were inside the wooden box reluctantly.
That arrogant cultivator slightly closed his eyes as he looked at the youth that was squatting in front of the store and not leaving. The corner of his mouth curled into a smile, carrying a trace of undetectable ridicule.
If it were anyone else, the arrogant cultivator would have already ordered him to leave with cold words, but after seeing the small packhorse behind the youth and thinking of the town’s government office, he decided to wait a little longer.
Looking at the young man’s face, it was clear that he had a huge desire for his own medicine, and every pill here contained a few Jade Coins s, which made it clear that the young man did not have the money, but looking at the small packhorse behind him, he was sure that the young man was not someone to be looked down upon, and thinking about the nearby town’s officials, the arrogant and cold cultivator determined that the young man’s master was a martial arts realm master, who was currently in the middle of the town’s justice.
These pellets were naturally extravagant to ordinary Spiritual Farmers cultivators, but if it was an expert in martial arts realm, it was not impossible to purchase several Jade Coins s’ items.
In reality, this arrogant cultivator had guessed half the things he had done. Yang Junshan was indeed waiting for his father to come out, he truly wanted to buy this box of Spirit Summoning Pills, even though the price of this box was obviously expensive, but what Yang Junshan wanted to buy was the three pills in the box.
In his previous life, Yang Junshan had spent some time researching and refining pill concocting and had also personally made a few ordinary pills to be used in exchange for people’s possession. He could barely be considered a pill refiner of half a generation, and this Spirit Summoning Pill was also one of the pills he had made before.
Aesult, Yang Junshan had a certain level of knowledge about pills. Because of this, when he saw the box of Spirit Summoning Pills, he was sure that the arrogant cultivator in front of him was not a pill refiner, because it was impossible for the pill refiners to not be able to tell that three of the ten pills in the wooden box were not medicinal pills made from medicinal paste, but real Spirit Pills refined by a pill refiner!
Maybe it was because of the method of refining the pills, but they were extremely similar to the Spirit Summoning Pill. If not for the fact that Yang Junshan waill refiner in his previous life and had also worked hard on the dao of pills, he would not have been able to differentiate the two so easily.
A light flashed through the Icily Arrogant Cultivator’s eyes. This was because he saw a tall and sturdy cultivator who was also holding a packhorse beast, and his appearance was somewhat similar to the young man in front of him. A discerning person could tell at a glance the relationship between the two of them.
Sure enough, after seeing the burly cultivator appear, the youth in front of him hastily stood up and beckoned to him with an excited expression. The Icily Arrogant Cultivator’s face was filled with even more joy.
Yang Tiangang saw that Yang Junshan was standing beside a stall that was selling medicinal pellets, and had already noticed it before he went to the town hall. The price of the medicinal pellets sold there was undoubtedly much higher than the actual price, and these were of no use to the Martial Realm Cultivator, so Yang Tiangang did not purchase them out of curiosity.
“Dad, I want to buy a box of Spirit Attraction Pills!”
Rather than Yang Junshan wanting to buy the pill, Yang Tiangang was even more surprised that he actually knew about the Spirit Attraction Pill, but looking at the person selling the pill, Yang Tiangang naturally believed that he had told Yang Junshan about it.
Yang Tiangang looked at the pills in the wooden box. The prices of the five Jade Coins were way too high.
However, when he thought about his son going to the Banyan Mountain in two days, Yang Tiangang’s heart softened for no reason. Looking at the black clothed cultivator in front of him, Yang Tiangang slightly furrowed his brows.
