Chapter 50: Only Astral Realm (2/2)
”Hey, that...was an accident!” Xiang Shaoyun replied with an innocent expression. He quickly added, ”I told you to p.i.s.s off, but you refused. Fine, fine. This young master is a magnanimous person. I'll forgive you.”
After saying that, he swaggered away without even bothering to wait for Li Hong'er to get out of the lake. No matter what, she was still an elder's daughter. If her father was to suddenly appear, it would be his turn to suffer.
”You f*cking a.s.shole! I will never spare you! You won't be able to escape me!” Li Hong'er screeched in Xiang Shaoyun's direction when she finally got out of the lake. It naturally attracted no response from Xiang Shaoyun. By now, he was already back at his own residence. After putting his luggage and some important belongings away, he brought some of the medicines he wouldn't need for now and headed to the Medicine Hall.
The Martial Hall Palace not only provided numerous medicinal herbs and weapons to the disciples but also bought them off the disciples. Xiang Shaoyun had gained quite a lot of old medicines from his trip to the Hundred Beast Mountain Range. Although he couldn't sell them all at once, he could still sell some of them to earn some points. With those points, he could buy some old medicines he actually needed.
After entering the Medicine Hall, Xiang Shaoyun took out the old medicines and said, ”Revered overseer, take a look at how much these herbs are worth.”
The overseer looked at Xiang Shaoyun in astonishment. ”Huh? You've reached Astral Realm? That was fast!”
Xiang Shaoyun was one of the only two five-star physique disciples the Martial Hall Palace had. He had even previously bought some herbs here. Naturally, the overseer had a deep impression of him.
He remembered that Xiang Shaoyun was still a seventh-stage Basic Realm the last time he had come. It had only been a month since then, and he was now in the Astral Realm. This was quite an astonis.h.i.+ng speed.
More importantly, he could see that Xiang Shaoyun had clearly advanced without relying on any medicine! That was because Xiang Shaoyun's foundation was thick and stable, a sign that would not appear if one advanced by relying on medicine.
”Haha, it's only Astral Realm, nothing worth mentioning,” Xiang Shaoyun said humbly, but he still had a smug look on his face. He was definitely not humble at all!
”Um, you have a talent n.o.body can compare with. Since that is the case, you have to work even harder and not get too c.o.c.ky,” sincerely advised the overseer. He then added, ”Show me the herbs. I'll have a look.”
Xiang Shaoyun handed over the parcel and opened it. The overseer studied the herbs and praised, ”This is quite the harvest!” He continued, ”This is a 100-year-old gra.s.stail flower, and this is a 150-year-old dried snake vine...huh? So many blood mushrooms! And this stalk here is even near 300 years old? It's on the cusp of becoming a low-grade spirit medicine!”
Xiang Shaoyun did not say anything, yet he was thinking to himself, I already have a stalk of blood mushroom king for myself. I won't bother keeping these low-grade herbs.
After the overseer did his calculations, he gave Xiang Shaoyun a total of 6,500 points. Xiang Shaoyun was pretty satisfied with the price. After all, most of the herbs were gotten after killing the Mad Lion Hunting Group members and were completely earned by accident.
After getting the points, Xiang Shaoyun immediately exchanged them for a stalk of low-grade spirit medicine, illusionary star flower, and a few old medicines. He spent 6,000 points for the purchase.
”Kid, I thought your stars have been awakened? Why do you still need the illusionary star flower?” asked the overseer curiously. The illusionary star flower had a terrific efficacy on those at the peak of Basic Realm. It was a herb capable of helping one awaken their stars and enter the Astral Realm.
Because of that, the illusionary star flower was supposed to be useless for someone like Xiang Shaoyun who had already awakened his stars. That was the source of the overseer's curiosity.
”Hehe, I have my own usage for it,” Xiang Shaoyun said with a wide grin. Of course he wouldn't tell the overseer that apart from awakening stars, the illusionary star flower was also quite useful in forming and growing the astral cosmos sea.
After leaving the Medicine Hall, Xiang Shaoyun headed straight toward the outer court. But when he arrived at the outer court, he found that others were bullying his underling, Xia Liuhui. Immediately, his mood soured.
