Chapter 289: Chapter 122 Transcendental Giant Whale Skill! The Giant Whale of the Furious Sea! (10,000-word Mega Chapter Combined)_5
Su Changkong also noticed that each time he appeared, a large number of martial artists would come to purchase these Qi-Blood Pills at the first opportunity; he speculated about their identities, but he didn’t care much.
“As long as they pay, does it matter who I sell the Pill Medicine to?”
“I’ll take one bottle.”
“Sir Bull, give me two bottles!”
Without having to hawk his wares, Su Changkong just had to set up his street-side stall, and a large number of masked martial artists would already be there to buy.
In this Ghost Market of East Forest Mountain, Su Changkong had also established a good reputation, and no one doubted the quality of his Pill Medicine!
“Hm?”
But at this moment, someone exclaimed in surprise, seeing that beside Su Changkong stood a wooden sign that read “Buying high-tier Qi-Blood type Pill Recipes” in big characters.
“Buying high-tier Qi-Blood type Pill Recipes?”
“That thing is probably not easy to come by!”
Someone whispered that Pill Recipes are very valuable, and are kept secret, not easily revealed to others, much less high-tier Qi-Blood type Pill Recipes, which are incredibly precious and difficult to measure with money!
“This Bull Demon King actually wants to buy that kind of level of Pill Recipe? I need to go back and inform my clan.”
“Hehe… Our family does have it, but it’s as important to us as the cultivation technique that guards our clan, not something money can just buy a glance at!”
The martial artists sent by the various major families in Dafeng State City to purchase Su Changkong’s Qi-Blood Pills shook their heads slightly upon seeing this, not believing that Su Changkong would be able to acquire such a rare Pill Recipe.
The only thing they could do was to spend a significant amount of money to buy the finished product!
Within half an hour, the Qi-Blood Pills Su Changkong brought were snapped up, but to his disappointment, no one sold him a high-tier Qi-Blood type Pill Recipe.
“I’ll come back next time. I have plenty of time. Sooner or later, I’ll be able to purchase it.” Su Changkong wasn’t in a hurry. Coming once a month, sooner or later he would get relevant news. Before that, he would make do with using the Qi-Blood Pills.
After tidying up without any gains, Su Changkong took the cover of night to leave.
On a mountain trail outside the Ghost Market, Su Changkong walked alone.
“Who’s there? Come out!”
Su Changkong suddenly turned toward a large tree, calling out coldly.
“As expected of the Bull Demon King! You were able to sense my presence!”
A voice of admiration arose, and beneath the tree, a black figure slowly emerged, seemingly having blended with the darkness before.
This was a figure clad in a black robe, and under the cover of the robe, a pale, bloodless face was revealed. He stood there, yet gave the impression of a wisp of cooking smoke, ready to disperse with the wind at any time.
“Who is this person? He got so close before I could sense him!” Su Changkong’s face grew slightly solemn.
This person in the black robe was by no means an ordinary individual, likely having cultivated some profoundly advanced concealment secret technique. He had approached Su Changkong quietly without making a sound, unnoticed until he was within ten feet of him.
The man in the black robe had a pale face without eyebrows, hair, or even eyelashes; it was as if he were molded from white clay.
“Who are you, and what advice do you have?” Su Changkong asked in a deep voice.
The man in the black robe was strange, but Su Changkong did not feel hostility from him. That the man had followed quietly meant he probably had some matter to discuss.
The man in the black robe spoke in an ethereal voice that didn’t seem to belong to a being of emotions, “You want to buy a high-tier Qi-Blood type Pill Recipe?”
“Do you have it?”
Su Changkong immediately countered upon hearing this.
The man in the black robe had followed him from the Ghost Market because it was not a place suitable for negotiations.
“I have it, but the price is not cheap,” the man in the black robe said with certainty.
“Name your price, and let’s see if I can afford it.”
Su Changkong spoke directly, even if the man in the black robe was going to charge hundreds of thousands of taels of Silver for one Pill Recipe, he could accept it.
“The price is not in money, but rather, you need to do a task for us.”
The man in the black robe shook his head, indicating that what he wanted was not money but for another task to be done.
“Do a task for you? What task?”
Su Changkong frowned inwardly; if it wasn’t about money, then the task would certainly be troublesome, but he still decided to hear out the man’s purpose.
The man in the black robe replied, “Help us kill a person, and upon completion, you’ll be given a high-tier Qi-Blood type Pill Medicine Recipe!”
“Another assassination…” Su Changkong sighed. Feuds and assassinations were all too common in the martial world; if one lacked the strength to eliminate an enemy, they’d solicit help from others.
“The high-tier Qi-Blood type Pill Medicine Recipe I possess is called the Dragon Blood Pill, which is enormously beneficial to martial artists above the Qi Blood Seven Transformation. It can even assist the consumer to ‘Transcendental’ and step into the Qi-Blood Furnace Realm!”
The man in the black robe revealed the Pill Recipe he held, named the Dragon Blood Pill, a coveted Blood Refining Pill Medicine for warriors in the Qi-Blood Long Dragon Realm.
“Who do you want to kill, that you’re willing to offer a ‘Dragon Blood Pill’ Recipe?” Su Changkong asked, with no perceptible fluctuations in his tone.
The Pill Recipe for a high-tier Qi-Blood type Pill Medicine was something that families with similar recipes would never allow outsiders to see, for fear of leaked recipes leading to others competing to buy alchemy ingredients, thus affecting their own profits.
If the man in the black robe was willing to give away the Dragon Blood Pill Recipe, the difficulty of killing the individual he wanted dead must surely be high.
“Iron Sword Sect Leader Huangfu Honglang.”
The man in the black robe named the person he wished to be killed.
“Huangfu Honglang?”
Su Changkong had heard this name before, specifically in The Dafeng Chronicles under the section on notable figures.
Huangfu Honglang, born into the martial sect Iron Sword Sect, began sword practice at the age of four, and by the age of eighteen, he had used his sword to slay his own master and the at-the-time Sect Leader, taking over the position. He executed a beheading spree, deterring the members of Iron Sword Sect with an iron fist, and none dared to disobey!
