Chapter 29: The Poison of the Soul-Breaking Grass

  The young man in black clothes looked at the beautiful smile on her pale face, and suddenly his face turned red. He stuttered to explain: "Miss, it's our boss who asked me to come find you... earlier, your purple lingzhi was broken in our store. The boss said that we can't let you suffer a loss, so here are 5,000 taels of silver notes as an apology from Xianling Square."

  As he spoke, he took out a silver note from his bosom.

  Qin Luo's eyes scanned the clothes and indeed found 5,000 taels. The smile in her eyes deepened a bit.

  This Yu Zhanggui is quite an interesting person.

  Just now in order to make it look real, she grabbed the person with both hands and naturally dropped the Zi Lingzhi... However, the Zi Lingzhi that fell from the building only broke a bit of skin and didn't suffer any substantial damage.

  He hadn't even received a silver note, but was slightly interested and said: "Isn't Yu Zhuang the master of your household? He actually gave out 5,000 taels as soon as he opened his mouth?"

  If it weren't for the master of the house, five thousand taels wouldn't be a small sum, and I believe an unimportant person couldn't have done this.

  The young man in black smiled and shook his head: "No, our master is not in the capital, and it's rare for him to return to the capital... As for the affairs of the street, Manager Yu has the final say."

  She wouldn't refuse someone's good intentions, but since Yu Zhuanggui is so interesting, she can visit often from now on.

  Thinking of this, Qin Luo Yi took over the silver ticket in his hand without being polite and smiled: "In that case, thank your boss for me!"

  He then took out ten taels of loose silver and placed it in his hand: "This is my thank you to you!"

  After finishing speaking, she didn't care about the young man's ecstatic expression, and turned to leave. Thinking of the scene where Chu Yixiu's cousin had tripped her up earlier, she felt a bit depressed and wasn't in a hurry to return. After some thought, since this place was not far from the largest market in the capital, she decided to take advantage of the early hour and go to the market to see if she could find anything useful.

  In the capital city, every inch of land is worth its weight in gold. Those who can open a shop in the capital are all wealthy and have some background. Those without any background can only go to the market to exchange goods.

  The streets in the west of Beijing are still crowded and bustling even though it's already afternoon.

  Qin Luoyi followed the surging crowd and walked into the bustling streets. Before, she had no interest in those good and bad things in the streets.

  However, she herself had obtained a mysterious jade bangle in modern times and narrowly escaped disaster. Her soul had crossed over to this place, so she wasn't as resistant to the idea of going to the market anymore. Who knows, maybe there were hidden treasures waiting to be discovered, left behind by someone who didn't even realize it.

  In the city, there are not only those who sell flying swords and magic instruments, but also those who sell spiritual elixirs, martial arts techniques, and even those who sell demon cores from within demonic beasts.

  That demon beast's demon core was the first time Qin Luoyi had seen it, previously that world didn't have any, and here on land there were almost none either. However, in the farthest reaches of the eastern border of Chu State, where the endless ocean stretched out as far as the eye could see, within the ocean there were many beast species that had opened their spiritual wisdom, known as demon beasts. When a demon beast reached a certain rank, its body would have a demon core.

  This demon pill contains the spiritual energy of a demon beast's lifetime of cultivation. The higher the grade, the more abundant the spiritual energy, and naturally, the price is also more expensive.

  It's not easy to get a demon pill. In the state of Chu, and even in the two countries of Yan and Zhao, there is a group of cultivators who specialize in hunting and killing demon beasts and selling demon pills for a living.

  But after turning around in a circle, Qin Luo was somewhat disappointed.

  In the city, the highest level of elixir was only three levels of elixir, and the spiritual power of that third-level elixir could only be compared to the spiritual power in her eighth-level pill.

  After visiting several houses, I lost interest.

  As for those martial arts and weapons, Qin Luoyi was even less interested.

  As the King of Zhen Nan, Qin Lingyun's cultivation was also the strongest Martial Saint in Chu State. These weapons and techniques couldn't be compared to those stored in the Wang Fu library.

  Just as she was about to leave the market, a black-clad man in front of her caught her eye with an ancient-looking yellowed book - "Talismans and Spells Compendium". Her steps, which had been heading for the exit, came to a halt, and she turned around, walking towards the black-clad man.

  She slightly bent down, picked up the book, and took a glance. The book was talking about methods of making talismans... Qin Luoyi smiled, she wanted this book!

  I originally thought there was no such book in this world, because it didn't exist in the Wang Fu, but unexpectedly I stumbled upon it here.

  She used to disdain the production of talismans, because her own cultivation physique was good, as long as she had spiritual pills, the spiritual power in her body could quickly soar. But now it's different, she is only in the Qi Refining stage, and has only gathered some spiritual power in her Dantian. If she encounters someone with a slightly stronger cultivation, there is a possibility that they can crush her to death!

  The third prince, Chu Yixiu's cousin, looked at the murderous aura in her eyes that seemed to want to kill herself and then feel relieved. She didn't miss it. Ending up with such a physique that made her want to cry without tears... she had no choice but to find more ways to protect herself.

  Thinking of this, the smile at the corner of his lips deepened, and he looked up at the big man in black clothes: "How much is this book?"

  The man in black looked very down and out, with a big lake on his face, a round waist and broad back, and the clothes on his body looked very old. On his stall, apart from this book, there were only some low-grade spiritual plants.

  Because his stall is too low-grade and located in a corner, it's not eye-catching and looks very deserted.

  However, that person saw Qin Luo's interest in the Symbol Dictionary and did not stand up enthusiastically. He just glanced at her lightly and said coldly: "Ten thousand taels of silver!"

  Ten thousand taels of white silver?

  Qin put down the book in his hand and smiled: "It's expensive!"

  And it's very expensive!

  "This book is worth no more than two thousand taels!"

  Although she had never made talismans before, she knew that making talismans was extremely difficult and required a lot of spiritual energy. So even if this book was very good, it's likely that no one would be interested in it. Two thousand taels of silver could buy a low-level cultivation method, so buying this obscure talisman compendium was completely unnecessary.

  "Not for sale!" The man in black raised his eyelids and looked at her coldly.

  Qin's smile on his face solidified at the corner of his mouth. This person... no wonder he couldn't, the business in front of him was so bleak.

  With this attitude... it's already good if he can open for business every day!

  "Ten thousand two! Not selling even one less! If you don't want to buy, put it down!" The man in black looked at her holding the book and staring at him, and threw out another ambiguous sentence.

  Qin Luo's clothes were disheveled and his temper was rising.

  She slightly narrowed her eyes, and a faint light flashed in the dark phoenix pupils. She looked at the black-clad man's temple near his hairline, where a faint purplish-red mark was visible, and smiled: "You've been poisoned, not lightly! Hehe, don't you have to open your mouth wide like a lion...?"

  Gently put down the book in hand and turned around to leave without hesitation.

  The man in black was no longer sitting there motionless, and with a whoosh, he stood up from the stool. With one move of his body, he had already blocked her way: "Can you tell that I've been poisoned?"

  A hoarse voice, with an excited face.

  Qin Luo Yi blinked, a smile spreading across her stunning face as she said slowly, "Your skin may be dark, but it's not normally that dark. The sunspots on your forehead are faintly red. If I'm not mistaken, you've been poisoned by the Soul Severing Grass."

  Looking at the spiritual plants on his stall, it's not hard to guess that he was probably poisoned when he went to the mountains to pick spiritual plants. And this Duanhuncao, has always liked to grow with another rare spiritual plant - Bingling Hansui.

  The man in black looked at her with an even more scorching gaze, swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, and his voice became even more excited and hoarse: "Miss, since you can see that I've been poisoned... are you able to cure this poison?"
