C31 Goodbye Anya

The old man looked up and down at the skinny young man in front of him in shock. Zuo Feng felt like he had said something wrong as he stared at him in shock.

"Little friend, you are already a beginner alchemist at such an age. This is the first time this old one has met you in all these years. I don't know what kind of formula you would like, but we still have some for beginner drug refining. "

With a sigh, the old man pointed to a nearby counter.

Zuo Feng knew that the old man had misunderstood him as a beginner alchemist, so he embarrassedly smiled and said: "I'm just a beginner alchemist, I'm currently only at the apprentice level. At most, I can make some low grade medicinal foam."

He didn't conceal his level and looked toward the counter the old man was pointing to. He saw that there were many thick, yellowish books placed within. Zuo Feng could not help but feel his scalp tingle just by looking at the price of the books.

The cheapest one was priced at two hundred gold coins. When Zuo Feng saw the look of disdain in the old man's eyes, he sighed and said.

"I wonder if there is any finished product to sell here?"

The old man sneered. He seemed to have noticed Zuo Feng's shyness and pointed impatiently at a counter in the distance. He said impatiently, "There it is, go take a look yourself. Call me if you see anything."

Seeing the attitude of the old man as if he was a completely different person, Zuo Feng could guess a few things. According to what his wife had said, if he wanted to become a beginner alchemist, there was no need to even think about it.

'At the beginning, the old man must have thought that he was the son of a wealthy family. However, after knowing his true ability and seeing that he couldn't even afford to buy a Basic Alchemy Recipe, he no longer had the patience to care about it.'

Zuo Feng didn't care much about it and slowly walked in the direction the old man pointed at. This counter was several times larger than the ones he had seen before. Rows and rows of medicine bags were neatly placed inside, and in front of every row was a small wooden sign. The medicine bag's name, function, and price were clearly written on it.

The Qi Returning Powder quickly recovered a small amount of spiritual energy and sold for 20 silver coins each. Detoxification Powder could dispel common cold and heat poisons and was priced at 15 silver coins. The Spirit-Sobering Powder had an exciting effect and sold for 30 silver.

Zuo Feng's gaze was fixated on the "Divine Awakening Powder" because the book he carried with him contained the formula for the Divine Awakening Powder. Although his book had a few recipes for making medicine, from what Zhuang Yu said, most of the recipes in this book were quite complicated and weren't suitable for beginners like Zuo Feng.

Furthermore, most of the ingredients recorded in the book were poison formulas. The Spirit-Sobering Powder was an exception to prevent people from fainting, and it was a relatively simple medicine to make. According to Zhuang Yu, the drug can make a person enter a state of extreme excitement, allowing the person on the verge of death to recover from the effects of the drug.

At that time, Zuo Feng was extremely surprised that this drug was written in a book that mainly focused on making poisons. However, Zhuang Yu's words gave him a new understanding of the drug. The result of Zhuang Yu's analysis was that the drug was used to sober up the interviewee and try various kinds of torture during interrogation.

When he saw the powder, Zuo Feng's interest was piqued.

'I must buy some medicinal powder to study when I get back.'

Zuo Feng roughly glanced through the medicine on the counter and decided on the medicine he would buy.

"Old man, I've already chosen the medicine I want to buy."

The old man walked over impatiently. Zuo Feng had gotten used to his attitude and reported the name of the drug he had chosen calmly.

"Two bags, two bags, three bags." Zuo Feng was also interested in other drugs, but he had spent most of his money, so he could only buy these.

Looking at the remaining 10 or so silver coins in his hands, Zuo Feng realized the importance of money for the first time. He even regretted not having the cheek to take away all the wealth of the grey-clothed man whom his master had killed in a sneak attack.

"Brother, I'm hungry. Are you still going to take me to dinner? "

Zuo Feng wanted to see what herbs were sold here, but when he heard his sister's words, he said with some difficulty.

"Wait for me a bit longer, I'll take you to eat in a while."

"Hmph!"

Just as Zuo Feng finished speaking, he heard a girl's cold snort from behind him. The siblings could clearly tell that this snort was directed towards Zuo Feng, so they both looked towards the door.

An Ya, who was in a tight suit, stood angrily at the door. She looked at Zuo Feng with an extremely unfriendly expression. When she saw Zuo Tian Jia, her expression immediately softened as she spoke.

"Tian Wan, come with me. It's enough for this heartless brother of yours to see."

After Zuo Tian Jia realized that the one who spoke was Anya, he happily said, "Elder sister Anya, I coincidentally met you again."

Zuo Feng thought to himself, 'What a coincidence, you've already sent people to three stores with us.' Although he thought this in his heart, he did not say a single word.

He strode over and pulled Anya out of the shop. Seeing that Zuo Tian couldn't stop himself from turning back to look at him, Zuo Feng had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow behind the two of them out of the shop.

"Heavens, what do you want to eat?"

Anya completely ignored Zuo Feng, who was following behind her, and only asked Zuo Tianjiao.

"If you're too hungry, then anything is fine. Why don't you ask your big brother what you want to eat?"

"Hmph, ignore that heartless guy. Since the heavens do not know, then let big sister decide. "

When Zuo Tianjiao mentioned her brother, Anya clearly showed a trace of displeasure, as if she had committed some unforgivable sin from starvation. Zuo Feng lowered his head without a word and followed behind the two of them with a helpless expression. Naturally, they had also heard every single word that was said by them.

"To the same place."

Zuo Feng seemed to be talking to himself, but he heard a soft response from the crowd around him.

When he left the shop, he carefully observed the people who had followed him secretly. There were indeed a few who did not belong to Anya. Seeing him leave with Anya, it was obvious that he did not follow her. Instead, he stood in the distance and watched her leave.

Zuo Feng pretended not to know about it, but his heart was worried for Zuo Hou and the others, hoping that they would return as soon as possible after they bought the items, and not let them cause any trouble.

Zuo Feng was not far behind Anya and Tian Wan. On the surface, there were only three people in the group, but Zuo Feng's keen senses told him that there were six warriors quietly guarding them. However, they were all mixed in the crowd like ordinary pedestrians.

They quickly walked out of the street they had come from and turned into another street. Previously, the main street was mainly for shops, but now, the main street that Zuo Feng and the others were on was mostly for restaurants and tea shops.

Everyone slowly walked on the busy street. Zuo Feng found that the pedestrians were avoiding the plague, so he automatically made way for Anya who was in front of him. Everywhere the young miss went, everyone revealed a frightened expression and quickly left. At the same time, the whispers in the crowd were also heard by Zuo Feng.

"Big Miss, why are you back? I heard that you went out of the city to hunt."

"Keep your voice down, don't let her hear you. Since the Evil God has returned, we should hurry up and buy the things before leaving. "

Sighing lightly and hearing the whispers around him, Zuo Feng had already made some guesses about the eldest young miss' personality.

Just as Zuo Feng lowered his head in thought, the two people in front of him had already stopped. Raising their heads to look, they discovered that everyone was standing in front of a four-storey restaurant. A gold-painted plaque with the words "Scented Fragrance House" hung high up on top. Although the name was elegant, the decorations from inside to outside were extremely luxurious.

When he entered the restaurant, Zuo Feng's eyes lit up. The interior of the restaurant was extremely spacious, and there were around a hundred tables. As soon as the owner of the hotel saw Anya walking in front of him, he quickly ran up to her with a fawning expression on his face. Zuo Feng, on the other hand, was carefully observing the boss's trembling hands and legs.

Zuo Feng was stunned for a moment before he looked at the dozen or so waiters around him. He realized that none of them dared to come up, and some of them even subconsciously rubbed their faces. At this moment, the entire hall became extremely quiet. Those extravagantly dressed customers all had their heads lowered as they ate. No one even dared to converse with each other.

Zuo Feng slightly frowned and sighed in his heart.

'What did this young miss do? '

Zuo Feng, who was originally looking for a platform, saw Anya's group stop and head straight up the stairs. Helpless, he had no choice but to follow along.

Only after arriving at the restaurant did Zuo Feng realize that Anya was not accompanied by six guards. It was only after entering the restaurant that Zuo Feng noticed an old man with white hair and a white beard. It was obvious that this old man was much stronger than the others. With Zuo Feng's cultivation, he could not see through the old man's level of strength.

The restaurant was like a pagoda, and the area of each floor decreased. There were also fewer customers. He did not need to ask Zuo Feng to guess that the higher the price, the more expensive the dishes would be. Thinking of this, he could not help but secretly touch his dried up purse.

Anya held Tian Hao's hand as the boss led them to the fourth floor of the restaurant. Arriving at the fourth floor, Anya sat down at a large table beside a fence that faced the street. There were people eating at the next table. Seeing that it was Anya, she put down her utensils, put down her money and quickly went downstairs.

Zuo Tianlang and Anya weren't too concerned about the changes in their surroundings. After the two of them sat down, Anya's followers found a table beside them and filled it up.

Zuo Feng looked at his sister's and Anya's table and coincidentally saw Anya's unfriendly face glance at him. This young miss was clearly hostile towards him, so Zuo Feng wisely chose not to provoke her. After a moment of hesitation, he found a table near the wall and sat down.
