Shopkeeper Yao's Misfortune

Ye Feng entered the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall.

The spacious shop was illuminated as if it were daytime by moonstones hanging on the walls.

People had just finished breakfast, and the shop was quite busy. Ye Feng and Ya Fei's arrival kept the shop assistants from serving them.

Ye Feng entered the shop and discovered that the reason the shop was doing so well was because it sold medicine for healing injuries.

Green Mountain Town is located near the Monster Beast Forest. Mercenaries are the main transient population of the town. Mercenaries are often injured, and selling this type of goods can indeed help shops acquire a lot of skills.

As Ye Feng was looking for something in the shop, a coughing sound rang out.

"Uh... Could you please take this out for me?"

"I want that thing."

Ye Feng and the other party spoke almost in unison.

Ye Feng looked at the other person, who was also staring at Ye Feng in a daze.

"It's you!"

"It's you!"

Ye Feng and the other party spoke in unison once again.

"Hello, Xiao Yan," Ye Feng said.

"What a coincidence?" Xiao Yan frowned.

In the original storyline, Xiao Yan didn't arrive in Green Mountain Town so quickly. Because Ye Feng "obtained" a fragment of the Xiao Family's ancestral Tuo She Ancient Jade, the Xiao Family had already monopolized the markets of Wutan City with those pills. They had become the leading family in Wutan City. The Xiao Family's bankruptcy crisis from the original storyline did not materialize.

The crisis did not materialize. Xiao Yan followed his master Yao Chen's advice and left his family ahead of schedule to train in the Monster Beast Forest.

Xiao Yan passed by the Ten Thousand Ten Thousand Medicines Hall Ten Thousand Medicines Hall, intending to enter and see if he could find any medicinal herbs that could devour the Heavenly Flames. He never expected to encounter Ye Feng instead.

"Yellow Lotus Essence, a low-grade medicinal herb, worth one hundred Gold Coins."

The shop assistant impatiently took out a piece of the lowest grade Yellow Lotus Essence from the counter. "There's only one item, you two can negotiate it yourselves."

Tsk tsk tsk

Xiao Yan secretly felt that this was a tricky situation.

Xiao Yan could tell that it wasn't an ordinary Yellow Lotus Essence at all. Rather, it was a medicinal herb he had been searching for a long time, which he needed to prepare for devouring the Heavenly Flames.

Ye Feng asked, "Are you going to try and take it from me?"

Those four simple words made Xiao Yan feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Whew~

Xiao Yan let out a heavy sigh of anger. He remained silent. Knowing he was no match for Ye Feng, he could only leave the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall without a word.

Ye Feng flicked his finger and took out one hundred Gold Soul Coin from his Storage Soul Guidance Device.

Gold Soul Coin are completely different from Gold Coins.

The counter clerk looked at Ye Feng with surprise.

Gold Soul Coin originate from the Douluo Continent, where Gold Coins are the circulating Battle Through the Heavens Continent. Gold Coins vary in size and weight.

Ye Feng then took out fifty Gold Soul Coin from his Storage Soul Guidance Device, placed them on the counter, and asked, "Is that enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough."

The counter clerk was all smiles.

Actually, Gold Soul Coin are about the same size as Gold Coins. One hundred and fifty Gold Soul Coin have a gold content that is definitely higher than one hundred Gold Coins.

"Young Master Ye, this is just Yellow Lotus Essence; there's no need to give him so much money," Ya Fei said.

"This isn't Yellow Lotus Essence at all. This is called Blood Lotus Essence," Ye Feng said.

"Blood Lotus Essence?"

"Blood Lotus Essence is an extremely rare and high-grade medicinal herb. This herb usually grows alongside Yellow Lotus Essence, but its quantity is extremely small. Its appearance is exactly the same as Yellow Lotus Essence, and it is difficult for an evil person who is not familiar with it to distinguish between them."

As Ye Feng pointed at Ya Fei, he used his fingernail to scratch the Yellow Lotus Essence. His slightly yellowed cousin flipped open the small piece, revealing a crimson color like fresh blood.

"It's red. And it has a faint smell of blood," Ya Fei exclaimed in surprise.

"That's why it's called Blood Lotus Essence." Ye Feng smiled, looked at the stunned waiter, and said proudly, "A piece of Blood Lotus Essence like this can't be bought for even 100,000 Gold Soul Coin, let alone 150 Gold Coins coins."

"Ten... one hundred thousand!"

The clerk at the counter was startled and quickly returned the 150 Gold Soul Coin that Ye Feng had paid to Ye Feng: "Give me back my item. I'm not selling it anymore."

Ya Fei frowned. "Do you even know how to do business? You and Young Master Ye exchanged money for goods. The transaction is complete. How can you go back on your word?"

Ya Fei's voice was quite loud, attracting the attention of the customers in the shop.

Knowing she was in the wrong, the counter clerk, still arguing defiantly despite the priceless Blood Lotus Essence in her eyes, said, "Since the item wasn't taken out of the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall, the transaction isn't complete. Give it back to me. If you want to buy it, pay 100,000 Gold Coins."

"One hundred thousand Gold Coins. You..." Ya Fei was furious and shouted, "How dare you bully me like this? Do you even know who I am?"

"I don't care who you are. Even the town mayor would have to give my boss some respect," the counter clerk said.

What's going on here?

At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in brocade robes walked over.

This man had sharp eyes and a shifty look; it was obvious at a glance that he was not a good person.

"Shopkeeper..."

The counter clerk walked up to the middle-aged man and whispered something to him.

The middle-aged man, having understood what had happened, brightened up and coughed slightly. "Ahem, young man, you may not know this. This item isn't priced at one hundred Gold Coins; our clerk made a mistake. It costs one million Gold Coins. If you want to buy it, you'll need to pay one million Gold Coins."

"One million?"

"So much?"

"Just that one blood clot?"

People in the shop exclaimed in surprise and began discussing the Blood Lotus Essence in Ye Feng's hand.

One million Gold Coins would be enough to buy the entire Green Mountain Town. The customers in the shop all knew that Shopkeeper Yao was asking for an exorbitant price.

"What's wrong? Don't you have any money?"

Shopkeeper Yao's lips curled up smugly; this was exactly the result he wanted. "If young brother has no money, then I can only apologize. You cannot take this Blood Lotus Essence with you."

"Shut up!" Ye Feng said.

As Ye Feng's voice fell, the Space Power compressed Shopkeeper Yao's body. In the blink of an eye, Shopkeeper Yao's 1.7-meter-tall body was crushed into a pool of blood mist by the Space Power.

Well!

The people in the shop were stunned. Even Ya Fei was stunned.

Before anyone could react, Ye Feng lightly tapped his finger, and another loud bang rang out. The counter clerk who had previously confronted Ya Fei exploded into a bloody mist, just like Shopkeeper Yao.

"Murder!"

The ordinary people in the shop had never seen such a scene before. Even the mercenaries inside were terrified and fled the shop.

The mercenaries instinctively sensed danger. Living on the edge, they knew better than ordinary people how to survive longer.

When the murder occurred, everyone except Ya Fei and Ye Feng was so frightened that they immediately fled the shop.

When Ya Fei came to her senses, she asked in shock, "You killed them?"

Ye Feng remained calm and retorted in a composed tone, "Anyone who dares to bully me, Ye Feng, deserves to die?"

"But what about that counter clerk? He's just an ordinary person, isn't he?"

"So what if she's an ordinary person? My maid is someone only I can bully."
