Chapter 231: The New Shop Clerk
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Red Forest Pharmacy was a big elixir shop, and the customers were at least above the Yuan River Realm. Some customers saw the bloody scene upon entering the shop, and the blood almost splashed onto their shoes, making them retreat several steps subconsciously.
Even the customers inside the shop backed away in alarm.
The two sword energies had been condensed by the Innumerable Sword Scroll. After finishing the task, they immediately evaporated as a mass of spiritual essence!
“Who! Who did it?!” Qin Honglin was an old man with a slightly hunched back. He had a celestial look and was wearing a pure white elixir master’s robe and holding a walking cane with a snake head on top.
Of course, he only looked ethereal and genial.
At this moment, he just walked out from the back of the shop. When he saw the sight, his face turned livid!
It had been almost 100 years since he built this Red Forest Pharmacy in Half City. Despite the big and small incidents happening in his shop, no one had ever dared to kill his people in his shop!
They were killed in front of him!
A fierce-looking bald cultivator and a coquettish woman with heavy makeup walked out behind him. “Big Boss, what happened?”
Then, they saw the two corpses in the shop, and they were stunned!
“Who?! Who is so unruly that they dare to belittle our Red Forest Pharmacy this way!” Their faces instantly turned ice-cold!
“Xue Nian! Xu Biao!”
Two red-clothed cultivators immediately walked up respectfully.
“Go and investigate this issue!”
The coquettish woman took Qin Honglin’s arm and said, “Big Boss, you still need a good main ingredient for making the Red Bone Elixir. It seems that someone is sending this ingredient to you!”
“I hope that his cultivation strength won’t disappoint me!”
...
Zou Mo opened his eyes slowly, feeling like the sensation of his internal organs being dislocated had lessened. He looked at the man before him and asked, “Mr. Fang?”
“Here! This way!” Loud footsteps sounded, and it seemed like a group of people was running this way.
“What happened?!”
Although no one intervened in the robbery that Fang Qi had just witnessed, the upheaval he had caused was too big for people not to notice.
At this moment, Fang Qi saw a team of cultivators in various clothes but had the same black tiger symbols on their chests walking up with fierceness on their faces.
“We’re the patrol team of the northern district!” The leader was a big guy with a knife scar on his face, and he yelled in a cold voice, “What happened?!”
“I don’t know.” Fang Qi said innocently. “I’m a small figure. When I walked past here, I saw these guys falling down on the ground.”
“You don’t know?” The big guy with the knife scar studied Fang Qi coldly.
A black-faced cultivator looked at the ordinary-looking Fang Qi and said with a cold sneer, “This small guy couldn’t have done it even if he wanted to.”
“Ugh?! Storage spiritual artifact!” A young cultivator seemed to have found a storage spiritual artifact on the belt of a body, and he yelled in pleasant surprise.
“Where is it? Where?!”
“We’re rich! One more here! These guys have high cultivation strengths!”
“These unconscious guys seem to be ordinary persons!”
“Don’t fight! Show them to me! How many crystals are there?!”
While they scrambled to loot the bodies, they glared at Fang Qi and said, “What are you looking at? You guys should get out of here now!”
Fang Qi, “...”
Hu... Are there security forces in this place? Damn it! For Fang Qi, he didn’t mind fighting with ordinary forces, but he didn’t like to get into a fight with the official force. After all, he was here to do business, and he didn’t want to get involved in any unnecessary conflicts.
“Mr. Fang...” Zou Mo felt better and could even walk now as if someone had healed him.
“What happened? Did you see what happened? Mr. Fang?” Zou Mo said apologetically, “Did they do anything to you?”
“I don’t know,” Fang Qi said casually. “I just saw big waves of swords crashing down. Some were killed while some fled.”
“This city is indeed dangerous...” Zou Mo coughed and spat out some blood; it was clear that his body hadn’t completely healed. “We’d better find a way to leave this place.”
“What are you afraid of?” Fang Qi said, “You’ve seen the guards of the city. The incident a moment ago was probably just an accident.”
Zou Mo felt cold sweat oozing out of his forehead when he remembered the so-called patrol team that got busy looting the bodies and kicking them away; he wondered how they could count on those guys for protection.
Fang Qi walked into the depth of the city and said, “I’ve made the decision to buy a shop in the city and do business here!”
“Do you really want to open a shop here?”
“Yeah.” Fang Qi clasped his hands behind his head and said in satisfaction, “Look at the city! There are cultivators and high buildings everywhere! Look at the neat streets paved with smooth stones, organized and vibrant trees, and the flowers in their beds under the trees!”
“Only half of the city has buildings, but this half of the city has trees and flowers everywhere! You can only see the vibrant greenness when you look around!” Fang Qi said, “Don’t you think that this place is much better than that Black Dragon City?”
Fang Qi looked up at the gloomy sky and added, “Everything looks perfect except for the possible wet climate.”
The moment that Fang Qi said those words, a bird that was passing by landed on a tree branch, seeming like it was tired from flying and wanted a rest. Suddenly, the tree branches twisted and formed a prison instantly!
Then, blood flowed down the branches, and the flowers under the tree looked brighter in color.
Zou Mo had just gotten close to the flowers and wanted to pick one to smell its fragrance. Seeing this, the hair on his body stood on ends, and he retreated several meters instantly!
Fang Qi commented, “I guess this place isn’t good for ordinary people to live.”
“Okay. Little Mo, what’s your plan? Do you want to take a spiritual boat to Black Dragon City?”
“I...” Zou Mo wanted to leave this city desperately, but he didn’t have enough crystals.
He lowered his head and said, “I will stay.”
“Mr. Fang, what shop do you want to open?” Zou Mo twisted his fingers and said embarrassedly, “I wonder if I can work in your shop. You’re the only person I know in this place... and I would feel safer in a shop...” He looked at the faint spiritual light flowing around the surrounding houses and said.
Then, he raised his voice and added, “I’ll work hard! All I want is food and shelter!”
When Fang Qi remained silent, he immediately added, “If you think that I’m asking for too much, I can buy my own food!”
“Well, although I don’t have a shop in this place yet, I’ll probably employ someone sooner or later.” Fang Qi rubbed his chin and said, “Okay. I’ll provide you food and a room, but there is probably no salary during the first stage of the business.”
“Thank you, Mr. Fang! Oh, no! Boss!” Zou Mo bowed to him with great gratitude. “Thank you so much!”
Fang Qi said casually, “Now, let’s go and see if we can find a proper place to open my shop.”
