Chapter 54: The Guy Who Doesnt Know Whether Hes Dead or Alive

  The fifty-fourth fellow who doesn't know life from death

  The elixir is gone, but Tang Yan has 3 million on him. Just now, Xuan Yuan Yue said that as long as you have money, you can buy any elixir below grade 7. For those above grade 7, they can only be exchanged for other goods. So Tang Yan decided to go outside and see what he could buy. Now he needs to break through, needs to break through the Dou Ling, because his enemies in front of him are getting more and more. The son of the lord of Fengdu City died at his hands, and so far, no one has come to trouble him again, but Tang Yan knows that he won't be able to stay hidden for long. People with money often accumulate power and wait for opportunities.

  Xuanyuan Yue and the others heard that Tang Yan was going to go shopping, and immediately asked to follow along, including Nangong Xiangxue. As for Lei Lao and the two Dou Huangs, they did not follow. This is a city, within the territory of the Purple Dragon Empire, not some desolate mountain or wilderness. Whoever dares to make a move here will be dealt with by the imperial army stationed outside the city at Nangong Xiangxue's command. Those sect leaders aren't foolish enough to think they can take on an empire head-on; if the empire were to issue a decree attacking them, their only fate would be destruction of their sect.

  The sect is very powerful, this is a fact, but the ancient family is even more powerful than the sect. The mundane family is mainly dominated by the Nan Gong family. For the hidden ancient families, they are also related to the Nan Gong family to some extent. If the Nan Gong family comes forward and invites them to battle, using the reason of stabilizing the empire, they will not absolutely refuse. Therefore, only the power of the ancient family can suppress these sects.

  A pig head, three beauties, walking on the main street, it seems that all men and women are curious about them. If Tang Yan is like a noble son, this can be said to pass. But his face is swollen like a pig's head, if you were there, you would also be so curious about them.

  "Little sister, where is that pawnshop you mentioned?" Tang Yan asked.

  "It should be around the center of the square!" Xuan Yuan Yue thought that every city's shops were concentrated near the central square.

  "Oh, Moon, will you blame me for giving Heilong Jianyu to that Murong Qianshuo?" Tang Yan asked.

  "What's the use of having a freak, but it's also good that he fell into the Murong Fu, and it's better than falling into the hands of those bad people!" Xuan Yuan Yue replied to Tang Yan.

  "Don't worry, once I get a bit stronger, I'll help you take revenge and retrieve the Black Dragon Jade Order for you!" Tang Yan said to curry favor with the white tiger girl.

  "You deal with your own affairs first!" Xuan Yuan Yue's personality was fiery, but thinking of Tang Yan's efforts for him these past few days, she couldn't bring herself to scold him, especially when she thought about how he had seen her naked twice in a row, and the feeling in her heart was just strange.

  They soon appeared in a so-called pawn shop in the city of Ningyang, which was quite large and had several services inside. Rows of shelves were placed there, with all sorts of strange things on top, looking like they were selling oddities at a department store.

  The waiters were both male and female. As Tang Yan entered, the males looked at Zi Lan and the other little sisters by her side, while the females curiously gazed at a man who had been beaten into a pig's head. Honestly, looking at this pig's head, they really wanted to burst out laughing, but thinking that they were all customers and remembering their own identities, they still held back their smiles and greeted Tang Yan instead.

  "You don't need to call me, I'm just taking a look. If it's suitable, I'll call you!" Tang Yan said.

  "Aren't you going to buy Dan medicine? You can let them take it out." Xuan Yuan Yue asked Tang Yan.

  "I don't want to buy it now, I've decided to buy herbs!" Tang Yan saw that there was something about the herbs too.

  Yes, there are some herbs here, but most of them are ordinary ones, bundled up and thrown on the shelves. There are also single stalks, single grains, or single pieces placed separately. The prices above are clearly marked. Tang Yan took a quick glance, and the most expensive one was only 500,000 gold coins for a three-hundred-year-old Golden Yellow Grass. Next to it was a crescent-shaped Qingyue Fruit, priced at 400,000 gold coins. There were many others below 400,000, which could be said to have extraordinary value, but with one drawback - their age was not enough.

  These high-grade herbs, Tang Yan doesn't need now, even if he bought them, he can't refine them, Dan fire is just one of the problems, the problem is that he is still a novice. The old man in Longkui said that to refine the elixir well, you must swallow a dragon soul and then use the space filled with spiritual energy in Longkui to refine the elixir, with a success rate of 98%.

  In a different realm, alchemy is very particular. In ancient times on Earth, the art of alchemy wasn't so particular. As long as you threw a pile of medicinal materials into a pot and boiled them for several days and nights until they formed a paste-like liquid, then shaped it into a pill shape, and dried it with warm fire, that was it. The effect was also good, and it was very popular among emperors. Otherwise, how could an emperor satisfy his harem of three thousand? That's why alchemy has always been the most popular thing from ancient times to the present.

  "Little one, bring down that stone!" The old man in the dragon ring communicated with Tang Yan spiritually.

  "Rock?" Tang Yan's eyes lit up when he heard his words, looking at the green stone as big as a washbasin under the shelf. He knew that goods that could make this thing look good must be good goods.

  "Yes, buy it! It's good for you!" The old man said to Tang Yan.

  "I'll buy it!" Tang Yan said, looking at the smooth stone.

  Originally, Tang Yan thought that a stone used to prop up shelves would sell for only a few gold coins. He didn't expect the boss here to ask him for 800,000 gold coins. Yes, 800,000 gold coins, which is even more expensive than those precious medicinal materials, causing Tang Yan to scold this black-hearted merchant loudly.

  "Sir, don't be so angry, we're just doing business here. We only charge a small fee for opening the door, you can haggle over the price!" The boss looked at Tang Yan's noble attire and although it didn't match his rough appearance, he was certain that Tang Yan came from a wealthy family, especially with the several women who had entered with him.

  "What the...! You're asking for such a high price, how can I even bargain with you? Alright, I'll give you eight gold coins, sell it to me. It's just a stone pedestal, after all." Tang Yan was used to haggling when buying clothes on Earth, but he never expected this shopkeeper to quote an astronomical price.

  "Eight gold coins? No way, sir. I spent tens of thousands of gold coins to retrieve that gemstone. How about this, I'll sell it to you for 70,000 gold coins." The boss said to Tang Yan.

  "Are you kidding me? You think I'm an idiot? If you really spent tens of thousands of gold coins to buy it back, why not treasure it instead of throwing it on the ground as a footstone? I'll give you ten gold coins to sell it to me. Otherwise, I'll smash your shop to pieces! Let me tell you, I'm the illegitimate son of the Purple Dragon Emperor!" Tang Yan said to this sly merchant with a fawning smile.

  "Haha, illegitimate child? Who doesn't know that Your Majesty only has three daughters!" The boss burst out laughing upon hearing Tang Yan's words.

  If it weren't for Tang Yan meeting Nangong Xiangxue, he wouldn't have said such things. Now that Tang Yan plans to make a move on her as well, with enough time, he can do it. The old man in the Dragon Ring had already told Tang Yan that within half a year, he could become a Dou Sheng. Nangong Xiangxue also said that once Tang Yan reached the level of Dou Sheng, she would give herself to him and let him get into her bed, doing whatever he wants.

  Nangong Xiangxue, who was standing beside him, had seen all of Tang Yan's actions. He had even bought a stone and claimed to be her father's illegitimate child from outside the palace. Wasn't this an insult to the royal family's reputation?

  "I'm telling you, don't tarnish my father's reputation." Nangong Xiangxue scolded with a knock on Tang Yan's head.

  "This is what you said, wait until I defeat the Saint, and then you'll be my woman. From now on, we'll all be one family, why bother with so many trivial things!" Tang Yan said, rubbing his head.

  "Hmph, who do you think you are? With your bear-like appearance, you think you can become a saint? Dream on! I'm warning you, if you use my father's reputation to deceive people again, be careful or I'll castrate you." Nangong Xiangxue scolded Tang Yan.

  "Damn it, why does this always happen to me? Why do I always run into these shrewish women?" Tang Yan cursed.

  The two of them were talking, and the merchant saw everything with his own eyes. However, he didn't take Nan Gong Xiang Xue as a princess, nor did he take Tang Yan as an illegitimate child. He just wanted to make this deal happen and earn big money from waste products. But when he heard that Tang Yan wasn't buying his stones, he started to get anxious. Originally, he had planned that even if he couldn't earn tens of thousands of gold coins, with his years of eloquence, he could at least earn a few dozen.

  "Alright, sir, I'll sell it to you for 8,000 gold coins!" Seeing that Tang Yan didn't want the stone, the merchant smiled and said, reducing the price from 80,000 to 8,000.

  "You see this, it's a spatial ring. I'm giving you a chance, hand over that stone to me, or else I'll smash your store to pieces!" This time, Tang Yan was in a bad mood and didn't even bother to give him the few gold coins, using force instead.

  Space Ring, the person who owns a Space Ring is of the highest and noblest status. Seeing Tang Yan take out hundreds of millions of magic crystal cards from it, repeatedly throwing them into the Space Ring and taking them out again. It's as if telling this merchant that he is of an extremely noble status, not only rich but also having a Space Ring, which can be used to overwhelm him with money at any time. Moreover, in this world, the Space Ring represents one's identity.

  "Give, give, I'll give it to you, give it to you! Young master, please don't be angry, I'll give it to you right now!" When he saw Tang Yan use his space and magic crystal card, the idea of making money from him was dispelled. It wasn't worth offending a mysterious person for just a few gold coins. What if what Tang Yan said was true - that he was the illegitimate child of the king?

  "Hmph, you're quite sensible. I'll just smash your store's stuff and then leave!" Tang Yan wasn't too excessive, he only picked up a stone and didn't make things difficult for him again. However, in his heart, he was thinking: "Having space to vent is so satisfying, haha!"

  At this time, a quarrelsome voice came from the direction of Tang Yan's younger sister. Tang Yan walked over and found that Zilan and others were arguing with a woman. This woman looked quite good-looking, with a maid by her side, and should be a young woman from a wealthy family, just like the ones Tang Yan had killed in Zhangjia Town before.

  I went over to ask Zilan what was going on, and unexpectedly found out that this young woman had snatched the bath fragrance from Zilan's hands. The bath fragrance is a very rare thing, just like those famous and expensive perfumes on Earth, made from some precious ingredients. It's also widely available in the market, but what's hard to find is its unique scent, not every scent is liked by women.

  The purple orchid she had set her heart on was exactly the kind of fragrance she liked, and without thinking, she took it in her hand to smell it for a few seconds before being snatched away by this young woman. That's how simple things were.

  "You stinky woman, are you looking for death? You even dare to snatch my junior sister's things!" Tang Yan didn't care who she was, as long as she snatched his beloved girl's things, he must teach her a lesson.

  "Little brother, forget it, she just said she's the lord's wife, we can't mess with her!" Zilan pulled on Tang Yan's hand, afraid he would kill the other person.
