C28 Bamboo Fairy's Pursuit

"Bro, is my herbs alright?" The grey-clothed man carefully stared at Lin Cheng's expression, as if he wanted to see how precious his medicinal herb was from the change in his expression.

"This medicinal herb, where did you get it from?" Lin Cheng forcefully suppressed the pleasant surprise in his heart and asked.

"I have forgotten the exact location. It was when I was sleeping in the wild. When I encountered a pack of wolves, I jumped into the river in a hurry. When I swam to the other side of the river and reached the shore, I discovered that there were quite a number of aquatic plants wrapped around my body. One of them was this medicinal plant."

The grey-clothed man scratched his head and laughed foolishly. He said, "I think this is a medicinal herb. Moreover, it smells very comfortable and invigorates one's spirit. So, I put it away and prepared to go to the medicinal herb store to ask about it."

Lin Cheng nodded slowly and said, "This is indeed a medicinal herb. Moreover, its quality is quite good. It should be able to be sold at a good price."

The grey-clothed man was immediately overjoyed when he heard this. He said, "Really? Then I will sell this medicinal herb to bro. No, I want to use this medicinal herb to exchange for the Three-treasure Pill in bro's hands. I ask bro to fulfill my request!"

"Then you're at a disadvantage." Lin Cheng frankly stated the price of the Seven Leaf Carrot, "If this Seven Leaf Carrot is sold to the medicine store, it can be sold for at least fifty to sixty gold coins. If it is sold at the auction, it will be sold to people who urgently need this medicine. I am afraid that it will not be strange even if it is sold for more than a hundred gold coins!"

Although the price of the Seven Leaf Carrot wasn't low, it wasn't too high either. However, to Lin Cheng, the value of the Seven Leaf Carrot wasn't just about a hundred gold coins!

Because, the Seven Leaf Carrot is a kind of medicinal herb that is virtually irreplaceable within the Chakra-cohering Pill. The other medicinal herbs can be replaced by other medicinal herbs. But without the Seven Leaf Carrot, don't even think of refining the Chakra-cohering Pill!

It could be said that this gray-clothed man taking out the Seven Leaf Carrot could be considered to have helped Lin Cheng quite a bit.

Hence, Lin Cheng did not hide anything and directly told the grey-clothed burly man the price of the Seven Leaf Carrot. Although this was only the price in his previous life's memories, it should not be much different now.

"Bro also said that only those who need it will pay a high price. I need the Three-treasure Pill. I don't feel like it's a loss to sell this medicinal herb to bro!" The gray-clothed man chuckled and said.

Lin Cheng laughed. This was also a smart person. Moreover, he knew when to advance and when to retreat. He also knew what he needed.

He nodded slightly and said, "Alright. I'll accept this medicinal herb. However, I can't let you suffer any losses. I'll give you the two Three-treasure Pills I have on me. In addition, I'll give you another pill, and another 20 gold coins!"

"Thank you, bro!"

The grey-robed man was overjoyed. He took the Three-treasure Pill with a face full of joy and said gratefully, "bro, my name is Yi Ming Mantra, and I'm an Adventurer. I'm quite familiar with this place. If bro needs any help, you can come to the inn in front to find me at any time!"

"Alright, I'll remember it. My name is Lin Cheng."

Lin Cheng nodded with a smile, then turned around and left.

Yi Mingjue watched Lin Cheng leave with a smile on his face. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he cried out involuntarily, "Lin Cheng? The alchemist grandmaster of Unification Hall? The Great Master Lin who refined the Three-treasure Pill? Lin Cheng? Could it really be him? "

However, Lin Cheng had already gone far away. No one answered his question.

"Whether it's that Great Master Lin or not, this Lin Cheng, bro, is my benefactor!" Yi Ming could not hide his joy as he touched the porcelain bottle and the gold coin in his arms. These two Three-treasure Pills could almost give him an extra life. As for those twenty gold coins, it was a large sum of income to him.

He cupped his fists in the direction that Lin Cheng had left in and bowed. After that, he turned around and left.

"Seven Leaf Radish!"

Lin Cheng looked at the green colored plant, and a smile appeared on his face.

With the Seven Leaf Carrot, as long as he gathered enough other medicinal ingredients, he would be able to refine the Chakra-cohering Pill.

"If I can break through to the Chakra Stage before reaching the middle region, I will have even more confidence in collecting the Blue Fire." Lin Cheng thought to himself. He calculated the gold coins he had on him and went to buy a few other herbs.

Of course, these medicinal herbs were substitutes. He was prepared to find the other medicinal herbs if he really could not find them. Use it! Although the True Condensation Pill's effect would be weakened a little, he had bought a few substitutes. There was no other choice.

This was because the ingredients needed to concoct the Chakra-cohering Pill were all very expensive, and it was not something that could be bought at any time.

After carefully keeping the Seven Leaf Carrot, Lin Cheng began cultivating once again.

After staying in the inn for three days, besides sleeping and eating, Lin Cheng had been cultivating the entire time. He could feel the surging Yuan energy within his body. He knew that he was not too far away from breaking through.

Three days later.

He changed his attire simply and went to another shop in the city. He bought a pill furnace and some items needed to concoct pills. He rode the Purplish Red Horse and hurried on his way again.

Along the way, Lin Cheng practiced cultivation.

On the horse, he practiced the Scorching Sun Knife. When the Purplish Red Horse was tired of running, he would come down to practice the Seven-star Cloud-stepping Step. At night, he would take a short nap and then start cultivating.

After walking for more than half a month, Lin Cheng finally opened up two more meridians, and broke through to the eighth level of the Body-refining Stage. His body was as strong as a ferocious beast, and his Qi and blood were extremely vigorous.

It was only at this moment that he started concocting pills again.

What he wanted to concoct was not Chakra-cohering Pill, but Energy-returning Pill.

Breaking through to the eighth level of the Body-refining Stage was far more powerful than the seventh level of the Body-refining Stage. The abundant Yuan energy in his body made it easier for him to concoct pills compared to before.

Although he did not have the Blue Fire, he had already refined the fourth revolution Energy-returning Pill.

"If I have the Blue Fire now, it won't be difficult for me to concoct the sixth revolution pill!" Lin Cheng said to himself with some regret. Energy-returning Pill was a very common type of pill. Refining was relatively easy, but the effects were not bad. Hence, it was very popular in Nine-prefecture Continent.

However, most of the Energy-returning Pill on the market were below the third revolution. If the pill reached the sixth revolution, it would be a qualitative leap. The effect of recovering essence energy was definitely heaven and earth.

"I must collect the Blue Fire as soon as possible!" Lin Cheng thought to himself.

He quickly put away all the pill and placed the pill furnace in his bag. He put it on his back and was about to mount his horse and leave when he suddenly heard a cold voice.

"Stinking brat, I've finally found you. You really can run!"

Lin Cheng was shocked. This voice sounded familiar. It seemed to be... Zhu Ziqiao!

He immediately mounted the horse and held the long knife in his hand. At the same time, he looked over and saw a fiery red figure riding on a white horse dozens of meters away. It was the young lady of Wen Family, Zhu Ziqiao.

However, what made him feel strange was that Zhu Ziqiao was alone at this moment, and there was no large group of people from the Wen Family following behind her.

"Kid, you are really fast. No wonder so many of us didn't catch up to you. It turns out that you have already left the territory of our two families."

Zhu Ziqiao was riding on a white horse. Her beautiful red leather armor made her look like a fairy in the fire. She was extremely beautiful.

Even Lin Cheng, who had lived two lives, could not help but be absent-minded for a moment. However, he was determined after all. He quickly calmed himself down and looked around, but he did not find any trace of the other people from the Wen Family.

"No need to look. I am alone. I alone will be enough to capture you." Zhu Ziqiao said proudly.

"Humph!"

Lin Cheng said with a sneer, "What a big tone. You are merely a Body-refining Stage Junior Cultivating Warrior. I'm afraid that the Cultivation Level is not even as tall as me, yet you dare to boast shamelessly and say that you want to capture me?"

When he saw Zhu Ziqiao by the river a month ago, he could sense the Yuan energy fluctuations from Zhu Ziqiao's body. This meant that Zhu Ziqiao was not much stronger than him.

Furthermore, he was already an Eighth Level Body-refining Stage Cultivation Level. Naturally, he was not afraid of Zhu Ziqiao.

"Then open your eyes wide and see how I capture you!"

Zhu Ziqiao coldly harrumphed. With a swoosh, a sharp sword appeared in her hand. She immediately rode her horse and rushed towards Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng was not afraid. He held the long knife in his hand and shouted, "Giddy-up!"

He also rushed towards Zhu Ziqiao.

Both of them were extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived at one place. Zhu Ziqiao raised her hand and thrust her sword at him. However, Lin Cheng suddenly lowered his body and dodged it. He suddenly raised his whip and shouted, "Go!"

The Purplish Red Horse suddenly accelerated. He urged his horse in the opposite direction of Zhu Ziqiao.

"Sly and treacherous kid!"

When Zhu Ziqiao saw that Lin Cheng had already galloped dozens of meters away, she was so angry that her pretty face turned red, "Shameless coward, stop right there!"

She had actually been tricked by Lin Cheng. This kid had no intention of fighting her face to face. Just now, he had pretended to fight with her because he wanted to lie to her. In fact, this bastard had been prepared to escape from the beginning.

He had been tricked by this kid!

Zhu Ziqiao drove the white horse with all her might, chasing after Lin Cheng from behind. However, even though the white horse under her was handsome, Lin Cheng had the advantage. He had already pulled away the distance between them, so it was not easy to catch up with him.

"Sly kid, don't run if you have the ability!" Zhu Ziqiao shouted angrily on the horse.

Lin Cheng, who was in front, turned a deaf ear, but in his heart, he thought, Only a fool would not run!

Zhu Ziqiao was the daughter of the Wen Family. Naturally, she would not come here alone to capture him. There must be a Cultivating Warrior of the Wen Family somewhere nearby.

Perhaps, this was their strategy. They wanted Zhu Ziqiao, a Body-refining Stage Cultivating Warrior, to fight with him. This way, they would be able to keep him busy. When the Cultivating Warrior of the Wen Family appeared again, it would be too late for him to run away even if he wanted to.

In the wilderness.

Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziqiao, one in front and one behind, were riding their horses.

Lin Cheng was running at the front, while Zhu Ziqiao was chasing behind. Zhu Ziqiao, in particular, had been fooled by Lin Cheng, which made her gnash her teeth. She wished she could catch Lin Cheng and teach him a lesson right now, so she naturally chased after him closely.

Lin Cheng secretly complained. If this woman chased after him closely, it would definitely attract the Cultivating Warrior from the Wen Family. It seemed like his escape was about to begin again.

Time passed quickly. The trees on both sides of the road also retreated quickly. Without realizing it, the two of them had already rushed out for more than ten miles. Lin Cheng could feel the Purplish Red Horse under his crotch slowing down. He could not help but feel anxious. The Purplish Red Horse was tired. If he stopped now, Zhu Ziqiao would definitely catch up to him.

Lin Cheng's mind raced. At the same time, he turned around and looked. He found that Zhu Ziqiao wasn't very far away from him, but he could see everything within a few miles. He didn't see the Cultivating Warrior of the Wen Family.

"Let's go all out!"

He gritted his teeth and made a decision!
