Chapter 192: Guo Peng and Lady Luck

Doctor Song was surprised hearing Tianlong Yun's words, but he could understand that probably his desire to know was too evident. Thinking like this he said,

Doctor Song:" Sorry for the intrusion Master Tianlong, but I am sure that you already found his sickness and already have a way to treat it."

Saying that he turned towards Tianlong Yun to look him in the eye when he answered. On the other hand, Tianlong Yun didn't seem bothered much, and said simply,

Tianlong Yun:" Yes, of course."

Confirming his doubts, Doctor Song continued,

Doctor Song:" Then why didn't you save him, Master? Wasn't our goal that precious herb? I don't think you are so narrow-minded, and do it because of what happened earlier."

Tianlong Yun wasn't surprised by Doctor Song's analysis and question, it was something he expected of him. Closing his eyes, and resting his head on the seat he was, he said with a profound voice,

Tianlong Yun:" Doctor Song you should know that there are different ways to surpass a mountain, you can either go around it or climb it. I chose the first way."

Doctor Song seemed even more confused than he was earlier, but without understanding Tianlong Yun's words, he didn't know what to ask else.

Furthermore, at this moment he was still thinking about the lady that captured his heart tonight. He didn't know how, or why, but Guo Peng's little sister was stuck in his mind.

While thinking for her, a slight smile passed through his face. Tianlong Yun noticed his smile but didn't say anything, and they just continued their way.

But while they were calmly driving home, Guo Peng was now reading Tianlong Yun's letter, and he didn't know what to think. The letter was really short actually, it only said two lines.

'If you want to save your son, look at the full moon from your terrace.

But, careful from the snakes around your lair."

Guo Peng was in a real dilemma right now, his son was everything for him, he would go to the end of the world to save him.

But at the same time, he didn't have any information on Tianlong Yun. He didn't know who this mysterious young man was, or his background, or his origin.

He didn't have any kind of information over him, it seemed like he had never existed before. Like he was some kind of ghost.

Maybe he was one of those people. Guo Peng had heard about some people with extraordinary abilities through his circle of friends, but those were just rumors.

Could it be possible that Tianlong Yun was really someone like them? And that second line about the snakes in his lair, who did he meant by that.

All the people around his son were people he believed and cared, he was almost sure that none of them would be a snake in his lair.

But who could ever understand the human heart? So what should he do? Should he go and meet him, or not? It was truly a dilemma for him.

Thinking about his situation once again, he didn't have any other choice, Tianlong Yun was the only hope he had to save his son.

Furthermore, there was still time until the full moon. There were still 3 days' times for the full moon to happen.

In these three days, he had to check Tianlong Yun's identity discretely. If Tianlong Yun was really one of those people and found out that he was checking him, the situation could get messy.

Deciding like this, he immediately took his phone and started to send some messages and make some calls, but not before checking if someone was spying on him.

In the meantime, Tianlong Yun and Doctor Song had arrived at Tianchang city traditional herbs market. Doctor Song had no idea why they were here, but he was following behind Tianlong Yun.

On the other hand, Tianlong Yun had two objectives in his mind. The first was to find the herbs for the antidote to the poison in Guo Pengs son, and the second was to gather herbs that could help in his cultivation.

The truth was that he had been too much focused on taking control of the city, creating his foundation and laying low, that he almost had forgotten about his cultivation.

But it was something he needs to do, especially the creation of the foundation of his future army. That was something he really needed, for his future plans.

Entering the market, Tianlong Yun firstly started to make a round around the stalls. Not because the articles here were cheap, but to try his luck. Perhaps he could find something interesting around here.

With that thought in mind, he started to look around, and at the same time, his spirit sense was activated at full throttle. This caused a bit of strain on his brain, but it was the best way to look around.

Normally you would expect this place to be a honey pot for alchemists and cultivators, but this was a small city, and Tianlong Yun's expectations weren't high.

At most what you could find in this market were some healers that used traditional Chinese medicine to cure their patients.

But at this time his thought's stopped abruptly, what he was hoping until now finally happened. In the stall behind him was something he never expected to find in here.

It seemed like an extra small blood-red lingzhi, mixed with some other 100-year lingzhi. To normal people's eyes, it seemed to be something normal, same as the lingzhi close to it, but to Tianlong Yun this was priceless.

Every sect would pay millions of Purple Immortal Crystals just to buy one of these. This small Lingzhi was called as the 'Cultivator's Heaven Lingzhi" because this herb, had the quality of gathering all the Qi around an area of 50km at the moment.

Perhaps this could look like a real small area for such a priceless herb, but imagine if this herb was already in a place with dense Qi, that place would turn into a real Heaven for any cultivator.

The best thing was that this herb feed itself on it, and would slowly grow. With its growth, the area of effect would also grow.

With this thing in his hands, the speed at which his foundation would grow would be several times faster than he even dreamed in his best dreams.

Tianlong Yun was really happy at this moment, but he couldn't show this to the seller. Otherwise, he might blow this thing up.

Turning slowly as if disappointed with the stall where he was, Tianlong Yun approached the small stall behind him and started to look around.

The owner of the stall was an old skinny lady, with crooked teeth and a large pointy nose, she seemed like one of those witches on fairy tales.

Looking around the stall as if not satisfied with the ingredients in there, and not really in a good mood, Tianlong Yun said,

Tianlong Yun:" How old are these lingzhi's, old lady?"

The woman just saw Tianlong Yun with a superficial look and said annoyingly,

Old Lady:" 100 years old young man, it will cost you 200$ per piece, take it, or leave it."

She was thinking that Tianlong Yun was someone who was easy to fool, that was why she raised their price so high.

Tianlong Yun wouldn't mind paying that much for the 'Cultivator's Heaven' but he didn't like being played for a fool when she didn't even know the price or quality of that particular herb.

Not wanting to be treated as a fool, he said with a high pitched voice,

Tianlong Yun:" Do you take me as a fool, old lady? What do you mean, 200$ per piece when their price is not even 20$ for one. So what do you say if I take all of them and pay 200$ for all 10 of them."

The old lady seemed a bit startled at Tianlong Yun's knowledge but she quickly recollected herself and tried to bargain,

Old Lady:" Well, as you can see young man, my lingzhi's are the best in the market so my price will be higher of course. So, how about you give me 400$ for all of them."

This was daylight robbery for Tianlong Yun, he started laughing and said dominatingly and mockingly,

Tianlong Yun:" Hahahahah… The best of the market, who are you kidding with, yours seemed the cheapest in here. 180$, take it, or leave it. Don't try to lie more or I will leave this place."

The old lady could now understand that Tianlong Yun wasn't just some ordinary kid she could fool and said resigned,

Old Lady:" Ok, ok Young Master doesn't get mad, I was just joking 200$ it is."

Even though she seemed resigned she still tried to gain something in the end. Tianlong Yun noticed her small manipulation but decided to not mind it.

After all, he was already stealing a treasure from her. If people of the Immortal World heard about this trade, then they would think that this Old Lady was a mental person.

But there was nothing she could do, she never knew what she was really selling. The truth was that seeing Tianlong Yun willing to pay her 200$, was already a piece of good news, and a win for her.

Packing all the lingzhi's in a carton bag, she handed them over to Tianlong Yun, who after seeing that small blood-red herb inside the bag was controlling his emotions with difficulty.

Doctor Song, on the other hand, didn't understand what was happening, he was completely clueless. Why did Tianlong Yun buy in here, where, just like he said there were better ones elsewhere?

Furthermore, what was the need for bargaining with the seller, Tianlong Yun had a lot of money, and just the price of the cure for the virus had already reached a hundred million dollars.

But Tianlong Yun didn't seem to care about it now, taking the bag, he left the stall behind his back with a happy smile on his face. Then he left to buy the herbs that he needed to buy…
