Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Attribute Points Allocation

Chapter 15:, Harvest, Seclusion

On the way, Lu Tianhu couldn't help but admonish.

"That guy was too arrogant, insulting us for no reason, even called us dogs, didn't you hear that?" Lu Liangpeng argued.

"People like him are obviously spoiled rich young masters, used to giving orders and bossing others around. We should just bear with it. Anyway, with his temper, he's bound to hit a wall someday, and it would be too late for regrets."

"Fine, you're right, I can't argue with you." Lu Liangpeng knew he was in the wrong and didn't want to continue arguing with the other party.

Lu Yun was always taciturn, not wanting to participate in or comment on the quarrels of the two half-grown kids, his mind focused on observing the shops on both sides of the street.

Cloud Water County was very large, and it took them an hour of strolling to finish just half of the street.

Just then, Lu Yun suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyes falling on a shop called Precious Woods Hall.

The Precious Woods Hall had luxurious decorations, its facade rich and magnificent, standing proudly on the street. There was a constant stream of people coming in and out of the store, all apparently wealthy or powerful.

What caught Lu Yun's attention was the variety of bottles displayed in the shop: porcelain, jade, you name it.

Besides, he smelled a strong, refreshing aroma of pills that made his heart race.

"Let's go in and have a look." After a brief glance, Lu Yun decided to go in.

To his surprise, both Lu Liangpeng and Lu Tianhu stopped at the entrance, touching their skinny pockets but not following him in.

"Can I help you, sir?" As soon as Lu Yun entered Precious Woods Hall, a clerk came up to him and gave a serious introduction, "We have all kinds of pills, including but not limited to Healing Pills, Qi Blood Pills, Power Pills, Meridian Pills, etc. ..."

"Hello, I'd like to know the prices. If they are reasonable and satisfy me, you will know!" Lu Yun said, unabashedly.

The clerk glanced at Lu Yun's attire and smiled, not bothering to expose him, and said, "Hehe, our Precious Woods Hall's prices are absolutely fair, and our customers can rest assured."

After that, he took out a booklet and handed it respectfully to Lu Yun, "Since we have many customers and can't attend to them all, you can check this list. If you need anything, just call."

"Okay." Lu Yun took the booklet and started to browse.

Qi Blood Pill, with the main effect of enhancing Qi and blood, sold for one thousand taels of silver per bottle, with twelve pills per bottle.

Power Pill, with the main effect of tempering the body and enhancing strength, sold for one thousand five hundred taels of silver per bottle, with ten pills per bottle.

Reviving Pill, with the main effect of recovering from internal and external injuries, sold for two thousand taels of silver per bottle, with nine pills per bottle.

...

When he saw the price of the Meridian Pill, Lu Yun couldn't look any further and immediately closed the booklet, silently leaving the Precious Woods Hall.

Seeing the gloomy-faced Lu Yun coming out, Lu Liangpeng and Lu Tianhu exchanged glances, both showing expressions that said they knew it would be so.

"I'll be back later." Lu Yun muttered before continuing down the street.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the three of them arrived in front of a pharmacy.

The pharmacy wasn't large, but it wasn't small either. A black plaque hung on its gray wooden door, with the words 'Lin Fei's Pharmacy' written on it.

There were a few ordinary-looking customers inside the pharmacy, and Lu Yun entered like a regular customer.

After a quick glance around, he saw many familiar medicinal herbs.

Perilla, Bupleurum, Cyperus, Angelica, Astragalus, Inula, Brightpot, and more.

Without a doubt, this was an ordinary pharmacy that made Lu Yun feel more confident about his own wallet.

When the other customers left, the owner of the pharmacy came over.

He stood with his hands behind his back, wearing a gray robe. He had a tuft of gray-white goatee, and though he was past sixty, he was still strong and robust, with rosy cheeks and light steps.

After approaching Lu Yun, the shopkeeper chuckled and said, "Young friend, you seem to have a strong body and vigor, you don't look like you need any of the ordinary medicinal herbs."

"Shopkeeper, we're here to do business; there's no need for so many questions." Lu Liangpeng, who had caught up, said irritably.

"Haha, you're right, I was being nosy," the shopkeeper said with a light laugh and then asked Lu Yun, "So, what kind of medicinal herbs are you looking for? Let's see if my humble pharmacy has what you need."

Lu Yun cradled his right arm with his left hand and stroked his smooth chin, pondering, "I don't really need any ordinary herbs, but I could use some Blood Ginseng or Ganoderma."

"Hehe, Blood Ginseng and Ganoderma are some of the main herbs in my pharmacy, of course, we have them. Just wait a moment, young friend, and I'll go fetch them." The shopkeeper said before heading into the back room.

When he reappeared, he was holding two boxes.

He placed them on the table and opened one to reveal a Blood Ginseng inside.

"This Blood Ginseng is over fifty years old. It has an excellent effect of nourishing yang and enriching the blood. If you want it, I'm willing to part with it for a hundred taels," he said.

Then, he opened the other box and introduced, "This Ganoderma nourishes the qi and calms the mind, serving as a supplement for the lungs and kidneys. It's also aged over fifty years. As for the price..."

"I'll take them both, but I'm only paying a hundred and fifty taels." Lu Yun closed the box quickly to avoid the escaping medicinal properties.

"Young friend, your price... you're cutting it a bit too deep, aren't you!" the shopkeeper hesitated, his eyes lit up as he stroked his goatee.

"One hundred and forty taels!"

"Young friend..."

"One hundred and thirty taels!"

"Young..."

"One hundred and twenty taels!"

"Fine, one hundred and twenty taels!" The shopkeeper blew his beard, glaring at Lu Yun and said coldly, "I've never seen anyone haggle like you before."

"Thank you for your generosity, shopkeeper." Lu Yun hurriedly took out the silver, then collected the two boxes on the table, fearing the shopkeeper might change his mind.

Initially, Lu Yun had prepared to borrow money from Lu Tianhu and Lu Liangpeng, but he had unexpectedly bargained the price down to an amount that he could afford on his own.

"Take the right turn to leave!" After receiving the silver, the shopkeeper said indifferently.

"Haha, no need to see me out."

Lu Yun turned and left nonchalantly.

After leaving the pharmacy, Lu Liangpeng whispered in amazement, "Is this the Lu Yun I know?"

The youngster who had just come from the mountains was truly astonished by Lu Yun's performance.

Lu Tianhu shook his head, smiling helplessly, "Maybe we never really understood him."

Upon returning to the inn, Lu Cangsheng said, "Cloud Water County has been a bit unstable lately, so don't wander around outside. Use the remaining time to train well."

"The city guards patrol the county town; nobody would dare cause trouble!" Lu Tianhu said with a frown.

"Things are getting chaotic nowadays, it's not as simple as you think. Just stay in your own rooms and practice diligently."

Lu Cangsheng did not seem eager to reveal more, and Lu Tianhu, intimidated by his authority, did not dare to ask further.

As for Lu Yun, who had been planning to seclude himself for rigorous training, he nodded in agreement.

After Lu Cangsheng finished talking, Lu Yun rushed back to his room, closed the door, and couldn't wait to take his newly purchased Blood Ginseng and Ganoderma.
