Martial Arts Overlord Chapter 102: The Lady’s Beloved

Luo Feng had obtained quite a few elixirs in the Sky Wolf Camp, including an entire box of Qi Condensing Pills and many others.

However, these were all low-grade elixirs and no longer effective for him. It would be better to use them to gain favor.

Looking at the porcelain bottle in his hand, Chen Yan couldn’t contain his excitent. "Thank you, Senior Brother Luo Feng!" he said gratefully. "I will never forget your kindness in gifting these elixirs today!"

A Qi Condensing Pill, a first-grade, low-tier Spirit Pill, was worth hundreds of taels of silver.

This Red Deer Blood Pill was a first-grade, top-tier Spirit Pill, definitely worth over a thousand taels. Previously, Chen Yan wouldn’t have dared to dream of obtaining such a precious Spirit Pill, so one could only imagine his gratitude towards Luo Feng.

Luo Feng waved his hand. "As mbers of the Silver Moon class, we’re often looked down upon because of our limited potential. Therefore, we must motivate ourselves to grow stronger and train diligently, so others will see us in a new light!"

"I will heed your teachings, Senior Brother!" Chen Yan declared.

He nodded heavily, bid Luo Feng farewell, and respectfully exited the courtyard.

I wonder if Instructor Ji Wuyue passed the examination to enter the Golden Palace...

Luo Feng looked at the scrap of paper in his hand, thinking of Ji Wuyue.

After taking the Nurturing Spirit Pill, she should have reached the seventh level of the Essence Storage Realm. With her martial arts cultivation, there shouldn’t be any problems. I must also train hard and aim for a good ranking at the New Elite Conference to make her see in a new light.

Luo Feng smiled, clapped his hands, and took out the Tiger Refining Pill he had obtained from the Li Family.

As soon as the jade box containing the Tiger Refining Pill appeared, faint tiger roars could be heard, and Luo Feng could feel a domineering will residing within it.

The Tiger Refining Pill was a top-grade, second-rank elixir that could help Martial Artists strengthen their physique, enhance their Yuan Qi and spirit, and lay the foundation for those at the sixth level, the God Bravery Realm, to break through to the seventh level, the Essence Storage Realm.

However, the Tiger Refining Pill was refined with a Demon Core, and the demonic energy within it was extrely potent. It couldn’t be ingested directly.

Otherwise, the tyrannical demonic energy could even drive a Martial Artist mad, making the loss outweigh the gain.

The correct way to consu the Tiger Refining Pill was to first use Demon lting Water to dilute the demonic energy within the pill before taking it.

The dicinal effect of one Tiger Refining Pill can support my cultivation for three days. These ten Tiger Refining Pills should allow to reach the late stage of the sixth level, the God Bravery Realm.

Luo Feng’s eyes flickered. He put away the Tiger Refining Pills and prepared to go to Qingfeng Town to buy so Demon lting Water.

After leaving the academy, Luo Feng didn’t fetch his horse. Instead, he sprinted directly to Qingfeng Town on foot.

With his current cultivation, even without using Teng Dragon’s Step, his speed matched that of a galloping horse, swift as the wind.

Two hours later, Luo Feng arrived at the dicine Ding Store in Qingfeng Town.

The shopkeeper of the dicine Ding Store recognized Luo Feng instantly upon seeing the Tiger Soul Saber on his back. He stepped forward enthusiastically.

"Young Hero, what would you like to buy this ti?"

"I need ten portions of Demon lting Water," Luo Feng stated directly.

Hearing this, a glint flashed in the shopkeeper’s eyes.

Pills requiring Demon lting Water were all exceptionally rare Spirit Pills, each worth at least hundreds of thousands of taels.

Luo Feng asking for ten portions at once was undoubtedly a sign of a big spender.

The shopkeeper scrutinized Luo Feng. Luo Feng’s aura was as deep and unfathomable as the sea; the shopkeeper was astonished to find he couldn’t discern Luo Feng’s cultivation level. After a brief pause, he smiled and said,

"Young Hero, in just a month, your cultivation seems to have improved significantly."

Luo Feng rely smiled without replying.

The shopkeeper tactfully refrained from further questions. Just then, a few Martial Artists walked in.

"Shopkeeper, give us one hundred Qi Condensing Pills, two hundred bottles of high-grade healing ointnt, and also ten Iron Rain Pills, those first-grade mid-tier Spirit Pills!"

A fierce-looking Martial Artist slamd his hand on the counter and shouted.

"Please wait a mont, gentlen." The shopkeeper smiled faintly but continued to attend to Luo Feng.

The Martial Artist who had spoken grew impatient. "Shopkeeper, this is a large transaction worth over ten thousand taels of silver! Hurry up!"

As he spoke, he shot Luo Feng a fierce glare, his intention clear: he wanted Luo Feng to step aside so they could make their purchase first.

Luo Feng paid him no mind, not even bothering to lift an eyelid.

Seeing Luo Feng’s indifferent attitude, the Martial Artist who had spoken felt he was losing face and was about to cause trouble when the shopkeeper brought out the Demon lting Water.

Placing ten purple jade vials on the counter, the shopkeeper, hands tucked in his sleeves, smiled at Luo Feng. "Ten portions of Demon lting Water, fifty thousand taels each. That’s a total of five hundred thousand taels."

"Demon lting Water!"

The nearby Martial Artists were stunned. They all turned to look at Luo Feng, their previously disdainful expressions now incredibly solemn.

Pills that required Demon lting Water were by no ans ordinary!

Only Martial Artists at least at the sixth level, the God Bravery Realm, would consu such elixirs.

Their group of five, each with cultivation at the fourth or fifth level, constituted a mid-tier power in Qingfeng Town, but they would never dare to offend a Martial Artist of the God Bravery Realm!

Even the fierce, dark-faced Martial Artist now kept his mouth tightly shut.

"So expensive?"

Luo Feng didn’t notice the reactions of the others. He looked at the Demon lting Water on the counter and frowned slightly.

Cultivating the Martial Dao, a single pill, a weapon, a secret manual—each could easily cost millions of taels. Money flows like water.

Even though Luo Feng possessed a colossal fortune of fifteen million taels, he didn’t dare to squander it recklessly.

The shopkeeper chuckled. "The refining process for Demon lting Water is exceedingly complex, and it’s very difficult to preserve. It requires not only top-grade Purple Spirit Jade but also a master of the Spiritual Rotation Realm to use their Yuan Qi to seal the vial. So, a price of fifty thousand taels isn’t expensive."

Luo Feng nodded, knowing the shopkeeper spoke the truth.

Every expert of the Spiritual Rotation Realm is a formidable figure who can do as they please. How could spiritual dicines refined by such individuals be cheap?

Luo Feng let out a breath and was about to pay the silver when he suddenly rembered the VIP card Yang Wanyi had given him from the Dayang Comrce Alliance.

This dicine Ding Store seems to have so connection with the Dayang Comrce Alliance. I wonder if this VIP card will work here.

With a glint in his eyes, Luo Feng took out the VIP card and handed it to the shopkeeper. "Shopkeeper, take a look at this..."

"The Mysterious Sun Jade Token!"

The mont Luo Feng presented the jade token, the shopkeeper excitedly took it.

Stroking the token as if it were a priceless treasure, the shopkeeper handled it with utmost care. After a mont, he looked up at Luo Feng and asked, "Where did you obtain this token?"

Luo Feng rubbed his nose and answered directly, "Yang Wanyi gave it to . I wonder if you know her."

"Miss Waner!"

The shopkeeper was startled. His bright eyes scrutinized Luo Feng intently, then he suddenly burst into hearty laughter. "I, Lan Congfeng, never imagined I’d live to see the day Miss Waner’s beloved would walk through my door!"

Her beloved?

Luo Feng was taken aback and was about to explain when Shopkeeper Lan waved his hand grandly. "Young Master, please keep this Mysterious Sun Jade Token safe. As for these ten vials of Demon lting Water, take them. I won’t charge you a single tael of silver."

Luo Feng swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue and looked at Lan Congfeng. "Why is this?"

Lan Congfeng smiled faintly, a nostalgic expression on his face as he began to speak.

"I was originally the shopkeeper of a small apothecary in nearby Rolling Stone Town. One day, a band of brigands ca to town and slaughtered my entire family. I nearly died as well!"

"Miss Waner happened to be passing by. She drew her sword to help, personally slew my enemies, and saved my life. I, Lan Congfeng, vowed then that my life henceforth belongs to the Yang Family. Since you are Miss Waner’s beloved, how could I possibly accept your silver?"

Luo Feng hadn’t expected such a backstory. He didn’t stand on ceremony, putting away the Demon lting Water. He cupped his fists and said, "In that case, thank you very much, Shopkeeper."

After Luo Feng left, the other Martial Artists dared to speak. Looking at the shopkeeper, one asked, "Shopkeeper, who was that young man?"

These Martial Artists braved mountains of knives and seas of fire, yet they only earned a few thousand taels of silver a month. The shopkeeper had just gifted Luo Feng spiritual dicine worth five hundred thousand taels, making them green with envy and intensely curious about Luo Feng’s identity.

Lan Congfeng said indifferently, "His identity is none of your concern. You only need to rember that he is not soone you can afford to offend. Otherwise, you’ll be making an enemy of ’Fire Proud Sun’ Yang Wanyi from Linglong Hall!"

"’Fire Proud Sun’ Yang Wanyi!"

Hearing this, the Martial Artists’ expressions changed drastically.

They exchanged dismayed glances, not daring to utter another word. After collecting their purchased pills, they hastily departed from the dicine Ding Store.

「...」

I didn’t expect this jade token to be so useful.

Having saved five hundred thousand taels of silver out of the blue, Luo Feng was in high spirits.

After leaving the dicine Ding Store, he found a tavern, enjoyed a hearty al and drinks, and then returned to the academy.

After rushing more than ten li out of Qingfeng Town, Luo Feng reached a mountain hollow. His pace suddenly slowed, and he ca to a stop.

His icy gaze fixed on the road ahead, a cold sneer playing on his lips.

I was just thinking of finding you, and you actually delivered yourself to my doorstep.

Though a flicker danced in his eyes, Luo Feng’s expression remained unchanged as he strode forward.

About a hundred ters ahead stood a figure.

He had a long face, furious eyes, and a sinister deanor. His eyes glinted with an eerie light, and a faint, biting aura emanated from his body.

"Li Yuanhao, what are you doing in this desolate place?" Luo Feng asked casually as he drew closer.

The figure ahead was indeed Li Yuanhao.

Hearing that Luo Feng had left the academy, he had imdiately given chase and had been waiting here for so ti.

Staring at Luo Feng, Li Yuanhao’s gaze darkened, killing intent flickering faintly in his pupils. "Waiting for you," he said coldly.

"Waiting for ? There’s no need. People might misunderstand and think we have so sort of relationship. I can’t afford that," Luo Feng sneered.

"Luo Feng, death is at your doorstep, and you’re still oblivious?"

A cold sneer touched Li Yuanhao’s lips. He snorted and advanced on Luo Feng step by step.

"Oblivious to what?"

Luo Feng smiled coldly, drew his Tiger Soul Saber, and fixed his gaze on Li Yuanhao.

"We had no prior grievances. Your son lost to in the Challenge King competition; you can only bla his insufficient cultivation, no one else. Yet, for such a petty personal grudge, you bribed Night Tiger, intending to have both Ji Wuyue and killed! Your heart is truly vicious. It’s ti to settle this score today!"

Li Yuanhao froze, staring at Luo Feng in astonishnt. "You actually know about Night Tiger? Could it be..."

Luo Feng gave a derisive smile and said calmly, "There’s no ’could it be.’ I killed him long ago. By now, he’s probably just a pile of dry bones."

Li Yuanhao’s expression shifted slightly. He looked at Luo Feng, his eyes filled with shock and uncertainty.

Su Laohu, with his mid-stage sixth-level God Bravery Realm cultivation, was actually killed by Luo Feng? Li Yuanhao found this hard to believe, suspecting it was rely Luo Feng’s stalling tactic.

"HUMPH! Brat, no matter what glib words you utter today, you cannot escape your doom! That girl Ji Wuyue won’t be able to save you this ti!"

SWISH!

Li Yuanhao shot Luo Feng a cold glare. Suddenly, five sharp streams of Qi Force erupted from his fingertips, carving deep gashes into the ground. Spreading his arms wide, he soared towards Luo Feng like a great roc.
