Chapter 68 Alchemists are Rich

The two got into the carriage after talking.

Mo Wu also chose to observe and wait for an opportunity to act regarding the Crimson Tower and the caravan.

She did indeed want to take advantage of the situation and eliminate these two forces in one fell swoop without lifting a finger.

After the auction ended, Xiao Potian did not leave directly.

Instead, someone hid outside the auction, waiting for an opportunity to steal Ning Shiyu's Bone-Continuing Grass.

From Xiao Potian's perspective, Ning Shiyu is a spoiled and willful princess who is also a bit unreasonable. He is stealing the Bone-Continuing Grass, which is acting on behalf of Heaven.

There's nothing you can do about it; that's just how the protagonist is—everything he does is right.

Ning Shiyu had no idea why Xiao Potian had come to provoke her.

But after the auction, she had some idea of ​​what was going on.

It's probably for the bone-regenerating herb.

In fact, it wasn't that she necessarily wanted to steal it, but rather that she was of great use to her.

Recently, the alchemist beside her was going to concoct a healing medicine, with bone-healing grass as the main ingredient.

However, she was also wary.

After taking the items from the auction house, he ordered his men to secretly follow him.

This scene was witnessed by Xiao Potian, who was hiding in the shadows.

"Damn it, who is this woman? How come she has so many powerful followers? It seems like there's no chance today."

"Potian, let's forget about it. We've already had a pretty good harvest today."

The old man with the jade pendant also offered his advice.

"I will not be satisfied until I avenge this."

Xiao Potian was a little angry; he couldn't swallow his anger.

"Strange, wasn't Xiao Potian supposed to come looking for me? Why has it been so long and there's still no sign of him?"

Ning Shiyu stood in the restaurant room, somewhat confused.

She had already laid a trap, just waiting for Xiao Potian to come to her door.

But for some reason, Xiao Potian was nowhere to be seen.

As the daughter of a princess, how could Ning Shiyu bear to let herself be beaten up?

The original plan was to teach Xiao Potian a lesson if he dared to come.

But now it seems he was afraid.

"Hmph, what protagonist? He's just terrified of me."

Ning Shiyu pursed her lips.

"What is it? Show it to me."

Ning Shiyu said calmly.

The vendor grabbed the bag and slowly handed it to Ning Shiyu. Just as she reached out to take it...

The vendor suddenly sprang to life, his entire body surging with spiritual energy. The bag was instantly shattered, replaced by a powerful fist that hurtled straight at Ning Shiyu.

"How dare you lay a hand on me!"

Ning Shiyu's response was also remarkable.

The moment the vendor made his move, she moved with lightning speed, her figure retreating backward.

At the same time, she also released her seventh level of cultivation in the Meridian Opening Realm.

The vendor's punch missed its mark, but the astonishing force of the blow shattered the ground.

"Where do you think you're going!"

He let out a cold shout, took a step forward, and charged straight at Ning Shiyu.

"Miss, be careful!"

Although the two maids also possessed the cultivation level of the Opening Meridian Realm, they were no match for the vendor and were instantly forced back.

All of this happened quickly, and even faster.

In the blink of an eye, he had already reached Ning Shiyu.

With both hands forming claws, he came crashing down.

Ning Shiyu snorted coldly. She was not just a pretty face; on the contrary, her combat power was quite remarkable.

Instead of retreating in the face of the attack, they charged forward.

Bang! Bang!

The two clashed, creating gusts of wind.

Ning Shiyu was, after all, a woman, and her physique was somewhat lacking.

She felt pain in both hands and took a step back.

It was this step that gave the vendor an opportunity to punch her.

"Wow……"

Ning Shiyu immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, her face turning pale.

"Hand over the bone-healing herb!"

The vendor snapped.

"Yes, it's you!"

Ning Shiyu's beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed.

If she didn't know who the person was just now, she understood the moment the words "Healing Bone Grass" were uttered.

good.

The person who made the move was none other than Xiao Potian.

"You, you dare to steal my things? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Ning Shiyu was furious.

That kid is too cunning. He hesitated to make a move because he saw that I was heavily guarded.

He appeared shortly after we withdrew our troops.

That's absolutely despicable.

"Hmph, ignorant woman."

Xiao Potian snorted coldly, snatched Ning Shiyu's spatial ring, and turned to leave.

He knew that the power behind Ning Shiyu was not something he could afford to offend, and that he had to leave as soon as he got his hands on the goods.

Otherwise, I'm afraid there won't be another chance.

Ning Shiyu was injured by Xiao Potian's punch and was too weak to chase after him. She could only watch him escape helplessly.

This made Ning Shi stomp her feet in a poetic tone.

That damned Xiao Potian!

She was so angry.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Potian succeeded in all of this.

Soon, a group of his men rushed over, but by the time they arrived, it was too late; Xiao Potian had already vanished.

"Miss, we are late in protecting you, please punish us."

"That's what the lead bodyguard said."

"I'm fine, but the bone-healing herb was stolen."

Ning Shiyu said through gritted teeth.

"I will go and retrieve him immediately, and I will surely grind that thief to dust."

The bodyguard was also quite angry.

Ning Shiyu was robbed, which was his dereliction of duty. If the princess were to blame him, he would be the first to bear the brunt.

This is why he was so angry.

“She’s long gone. If she hadn’t had no intention of killing me, by the time you arrived, you would all be collecting my body.”

Ning Shiyu cursed angrily.

A group of people were so insulted that they dared not retaliate.

On the other side, Xiao Potian was also somewhat excited after snatching the Bone-Regenerating Grass.

After all that effort, we finally succeeded.

"Potian, this was really close. If you hadn't caught her off guard, you might not have been a match for her."

The old man with the jade pendant exclaimed in admiration.

"Yes, Master, if we had been any slower, her entourage would have caught up with us."

Xiao Potian was also somewhat shaken.

"Hehe, but the result is still good. Once I guide you to refine the pill using the Bone-Regenerating Grass, your cultivation will definitely be able to break through!"

The old man with the jade pendant spoke.

Xiao Potian is currently at the third level of the Meridian Opening Realm. Once the pill is ready, he will be able to reach the fourth level of the Meridian Opening Realm.

The progress has been remarkably rapid.

...

"Your Highness, please stop at the Alchemist's Guild ahead."

On the carriage, Mo Wu spoke softly to Zhou Xianzong.

"Okay, Erhu, stop for a moment."

Zhou Xianzong gave an order.

"Sister Mo, what are you doing at the Alchemist Guild?"

“A few days ago, the union president ordered a batch of medicinal herbs from me, and I delivered them to them on my way.”

As Mo Wu spoke, she stepped off the carriage with her long legs.

Zhou Xianzong followed her down the stairs.

Looking at the magnificent Alchemist Guild, he suddenly remembered that Xiao Potian was also coming here soon.

For no other reason than to obtain an alchemist's badge.

Only those who obtain the Alchemist's Badge can be considered true alchemists and will be revered by the world.

However, Xiao Potian kept a low profile and did not tell anyone.

This is the protagonist, who always pretends to be weak while actually being strong. Just when everyone thinks he's a good-for-nothing, he suddenly pulls out his badge, shocking everyone.

Believe it or not, this kind of plot will happen very soon.

When you enter the Alchemist Guild, you'll mostly see old men.

There aren't many young people to be seen.

These old men were responsible for refining elixirs on a regular basis.

Only a small portion of the precious medicinal herbs they consume are cultivated by themselves.

Most of it is bought.

There's nothing you can do about it; alchemists are just rich.

"Lord Mo Wu and Prince Zhou have arrived. Please, please come in."

"In the guild," the maidservant responsible for serving the alchemist said respectfully.

Where is your president?

Mo Wu asked directly.

"Lord Mowu, the guild leader is on the second floor. I will take you to see him now."

The maid gestured for them to proceed.

"This way, please."

Mo Wu nodded slightly.

"Sister Mo, you go ahead. I won't go see those old-fashioned men. I'll just wander around downstairs."

Zhou Xianzong waved his hand.

"Alright, Your Highness, please wait for me a moment."

Mo Wu gave a wry smile and went upstairs with her maid.
