18: The Three-Rank Precious Medicine, the Thousand-Spirit Blood Essence Grass!

"Boom!"

In the dark night, under the firelight, Liu Fusheng's fat corpse, like a small hill, fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yi put away his long saber, took a light breath, and then a smile appeared on his face.

Seventh Grade Mid-stage; he had broken through just after a few exchanges with Liu Fusheng.

After all, he had already reached the limit of the Seventh Grade Early Stage and was only one step away from the Seventh Grade Mid-stage.

With his Heaven-Defying Aptitude of the Martial Dao Sacred Body, the Bottleneck of this step was almost non-existent, and he was in a stage where he could break through at any time.

Therefore, under the pressure of Liu Fusheng earlier, Lin Yi naturally broke through.

With the strength of the Seventh Grade Mid-stage, combined with the powerful defensive capabilities of the Bright Moon Saber Technique, even though Liu Fusheng was powerful, it was impossible for him to kill Lin Yi.

Of course, it was also almost impossible for Lin Yi to kill Liu Fusheng.

That was why Lin Yi had pretended to be lacking in strength on the surface, while secretly searching for an opportunity to kill Liu Fusheng, and at the same time, taking the opportunity to probe the reasons behind Liu Fusheng's various actions.

And Liu Fusheng, in his complacency, had spilled everything, not only telling Lin Yi everything but also, due to carelessness, dying at the hands of Lin Yi at the final moment, wasting all his schemes.

"However, now that Liu Fusheng is dead, the clue to that thousand spirit blood origin grass is broken."

Looking at Liu Fusheng's headless corpse on the ground, a light flashed in Lin Yi's eyes:

"I don't know if this Liu Fusheng has already transplanted that thousand spirit blood origin grass from the pharmacy in the west of the city, or if it remains there."

"If it remains there, then if I can obtain such a treasure, even if it is just a seedling, I will have made a fortune; if it has been transplanted, then it would be a wasted joy."

"It's a pity that there wasn't enough time just now, otherwise, I could have asked Liu Fusheng where he hid the thousand spirit blood origin grass, although he most likely wouldn't have said anyway."

Thinking of this, Lin Yi shook his head slightly.

He had no choice just now; after all, with the strength Lin Yi had displayed on the surface, it was already his limit to hold off Liu Fusheng for so long.

If he held on for any longer, it would likely be exposed, letting Liu Fusheng guess that he had already broken through.

By then, not only would he be unable to kill Liu Fusheng, but he might also be secretly plotted against by him, placing himself in a dangerous situation.

So at that moment, Liu Fusheng had to die! He must die!

As for the thousand spirit blood origin grass, he could only do his best and leave it to fate.

"Let's loot the corpse first and see if I can find any clues about the thousand spirit blood origin grass on Liu Fusheng's body!"

With this thought, Lin Yi bent down and began to search Liu Fusheng's body.

Soon, he felt a hard object on Liu Fusheng's fat chest.

"This is..."

Lin Yi was shocked, quickly took the hard object from Liu Fusheng's chest, and immediately discovered that it was a jade box.

The jade box was about the size of a palm, three fingers wide, exquisitely crafted, and of excellent jade quality, emitting a warm luster under the firelight.

"Could it be..."

Seeing this, Lin Yi had a guess in his heart and opened the jade box to look.

The next moment, under the firelight, a plant that had obviously been processed, about three inches long, similar in appearance to ordinary blood origin grass, but with roots, stems, and leaves covered in mysterious and noble golden patterns, appeared before his eyes.

"This is that 'thousand spirit blood origin grass'!"

Seeing the medicinal herb in the box exuding a mysterious and noble aura, even though Lin Yi had never seen the thousand spirit blood origin grass, or even heard of it, he was certain at this moment! And he was 100% sure!

Found in Liu Fusheng's arms, similar in appearance to blood origin grass, yet with roots, stems, and leaves covered in golden patterns, filled with an incomparably noble aura; what else could this magical plant be if not the thousand spirit blood origin grass?

"I've made a fortune! This time I've really made a fortune!"

Looking at the three-inch Spiritual Plant in his hand, Lin Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed:

"thousand spirit blood origin grass! A peerless Precious Medicine worth over two hundred thousand taels of silver!"

"Poor Liu Fusheng, with all his schemes, never expected that it would ultimately be a wedding dress for me. Ha! Hahaha!"

Lin Yi laughed loudly.

A Third Grade peerless Precious Medicine, even if it was just a seedling, was worth at least ten or twenty thousand taels of silver.

Of course, because Lin Yi didn't have suitable channels, and most importantly, this seedling couldn't see the light of day, he would have to find a way to sell it through channels like the black market, and it was estimated that the price would be discounted.

But no matter how much it was discounted, selling it for a few thousand taels of silver was definitely no problem!

"The next Talent is secured!"

Lin Yi's eyes burned with heat, then he hurriedly put away the jade box carefully, kicked Liu Fusheng's head and corpse into the sea of fire in the warehouse, and finally hurried to escape outside the pharmacy.

After the battle between him and Liu Fusheng, judging from the shouting and killing around, it seemed that the Bandits of the Black Wind Stockade had an even greater advantage at this moment.

If he didn't leave now, it would be troublesome if he were surrounded by the Bandits of the Black Wind Stockade later.

Thinking this, Lin Yi moved like the wind, quickly left the county, and hid in a dense forest outside the county to take shelter.

...

Time passed quickly, and soon, a night had passed.

In the sky, with the rising sun, a new day had arrived.

However, in the forest, Lin Yi didn't rush back to the county after dawn, but waited until after noon to carefully return to the city.

At this moment, the scene in the county was not as miserable as Lin Yi had imagined.

In the county, although those big Families and major forces had been wiped out, and many houses had been burned to charcoal, most of the common people had survived, and only a few who lived next to the big Families had been affected.

This was not because the Bandits of the Black Wind Stockade were kind-hearted, but firstly, the common people in the county had no wealth, and even if they robbed for a night, it might not be as profitable as breaking two or three major forces.

Secondly, this was also the deterrence of the Heavenly Mountain Sect. After all, the strength of the Heavenly Mountain Sect was still very strong. Although it could not be considered one of the Peak forces in the entire Jiuzhou World, it was also one of the top forces.

For a large stockade like the Black Wind Stockade, if they only wiped out some Family forces, the Heavenly Mountain Sect would just turn a blind eye, as there were also powerful figures among the Bandits, and they had to consider the other party's thoughts.

But if the Bandits of the Black Wind Stockade dared to massacre the city, then even if the Heavenly King came, he wouldn't be able to save them!

Therefore, even if the Black Wind Stockade wanted to establish prestige and take revenge, they naturally had to restrain themselves a little.

With thoughts swirling in his mind, a moment later, Lin Yi returned to the branch of the Wang Family Pharmacy.

Then, he searched for survivors in the pharmacy.

Suddenly—

"Young Master Lin Yi!"

A pleasantly surprised voice rang in Lin Yi's ears. Lin Yi turned his head and saw the Little Maidservant Xiao Zhi coming to his side with a full smile:

"Young Master Lin Yi, it's great to see you're okay. Last night, the Bandits from the Black Wind Stockade suddenly attacked the city. I hid in your small courtyard all night and didn't dare to make a sound."

"During that time, several waves of Bandits came to search and check the small courtyard, but fortunately, they didn't find me, otherwise I would have been finished."

"By the way! Young Master Lin Yi, where did you go last night? Why did you only come back today?"

"Xiao Zhi, I was also fighting a Bandit all night last night, and I only managed to kill him after chasing him for dozens of miles outside the city, which is why I've only just returned."

Lin Yi explained casually, then asked:

"Don't worry about me for now. I ask you, what are the casualties in the pharmacy? And what about the people from the Medicine Escort Team who came with me?"

"The casualties in the pharmacy are heavy."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhi's mood became obviously low, and she explained with red eyes:

"Sun Hu, A-Shan, Master Wang, Auntie Zhang, and many doctors, instructors, and guards are all dead. The shopkeeper is also missing. There aren't many people left in the whole pharmacy."

"And the casualties of the adults in the Medicine Escort Team are also heavy. Eight of the twenty-five people died, twelve were injured, and even leader Wang Chuan was seriously injured. He is currently in the pharmacy, being treated by the adults urgently sent by the main Family."

"Oh, people from the Wang Family main Family have arrived? That's good!"

Hearing this, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the Wang Family main Family had sent people, there was no need to worry about the Bandits of the Black Wind Stockade making a comeback.

As for the grudges between the Wang Family and other forces with the Black Wind Stockade, those big shots would naturally deal with them, which had nothing to do with him.

As long as he followed the big shots of the Wang main Family back to the commandery city later, everything in Beicang County would be settled.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi felt relieved, and he was already vaguely looking forward to returning to the commandery city with the people from the Wang main Family, selling the thousand spirit blood origin grass seedling, and the moment of Talent Evolution.
