I use my future dreams to prove immortality.

Chapter 67 Killing Intent

"What is the Secret Medicine Talisman?" Zhou Qiuyuan didn't mind using his future dream to obtain information.

The manager of Huixianzhai's face turned ugly. He snorted coldly and said, "Why are you making fun of me? Please leave."

Zhou Qiuyuan laughed and said, "Can't I buy secret medicine without a secret medicine token? I'm willing to pay a higher price."

The manager of Huixianzhai sighed and said, "It's not that Huixianzhai doesn't want to do business, but the secret medicines are scarce and cannot be supplied in large quantities like ordinary pills. Each batch of secret medicines sold comes with a corresponding talisman."

"These are the rules set by the major families of Black Swamp City, and Huixianzhai cannot break them."

"If you are willing to join a certain family or the Immortal Gathering, obtaining the secret medicine talisman will not be difficult."

Zhou Qiuyuan's secret medicines were all effective, and he did not want to exchange them, so he left helplessly.

He had only taken a few steps out of Huixianzhai when he heard a voice behind him: "Please wait, sir."

"Would you like the secret medicine token?"

Zhou Qiuyuan turned his head and saw a familiar figure, none other than Song Ming, who had almost killed him.

Song Ming smiled and explained his purpose: "I have dozens of secret medicine tokens. As long as you are willing to offer a price that satisfies me, I would not mind reselling them."

Rules are rules, but that doesn't mean there are no loopholes.

Huixianzhai does not openly sell secret medicines, but secretly sells secret medicine talismans at high prices.

In this way, not only were the rules circumvented, but the secret medicine and talismans could also fetch a good price, making a double profit.

Zhou Qiuyuan, unaware of the market price, casually asked, "How about one thousand coins for each secret medicine talisman?"

Song Ming carefully looked Zhou Qiuyuan up and down, then asked with a half-smile, "Do I know you, sir?"

Zhou Qiuyuan didn't understand why Song Ming suddenly asked this question, so he shook his head and said, "I only met you once when I was buying goods at Huixianzhai."

Song Ming glanced at Zhou Qiuyuan's face a few times, as if trying to memorize his features.

"Each secret medicine talisman is worth one tael of gold, no bargaining."

"Ten secret medicine tokens." Zhou Qiuyuan took out ten taels of gold without hesitation and casually tossed them over.

Song Ming took out ten palm-sized bronze tokens, each with strange, scribbled patterns on it.

They dare to charge one or two taels of gold for a seemingly worthless broken token. Huixianzhai is truly ruthless!

Zhou Qiuyuan obtained the secret medicine talisman and returned to the second floor of Huixianzhai.

The owner of Huixianzhai was sitting in a grand chair, having been waiting for a long time.

"What type of secret medicine would you like to purchase?"

"A secret medicine for strengthening bones!"

The manager of Huixianzhai smiled and said, "Huixianzhai only has two kinds of bone-tempering medicines. One is the Dragon-Tiger Bright Bone Pill, and the other is called the Ice Skin Jade Bone Pill."

"The Dragon-Tiger Bone-Enhancing Pill can greatly increase strength and is applicable to all body-tempering techniques. Each pill is worth 30,000 coins."

"The Ice Skin Jade Bone Pill can temper bones and skin, making them impervious to cold. Cultivating ice and water-based body tempering techniques will increase the bone and skin tempering effects by an additional 50%. Each pill is worth 45,000 coins."

Zhou Qiuyuan mainly cultivates lightning-based techniques. The Ice Skin Jade Bone Pill is expensive and has no additional effects, making it far less practical than the Dragon Tiger Bright Bone Pill.

"Ten Dragon-Tiger Bone-Enhancing Pills."

Each secret medicine talisman corresponds to one secret medicine. Zhou Qiuyuan took out ten secret medicine talismans and thirty-five taels of gold, and exchanged them for ten Dragon Tiger Bright Bone Pills.

The manager of Huixianzhai smiled broadly and said, "Huixianzhai only has twenty-one Dragon Tiger Bright Bone Pills. If you come a few days later, you will have to wait until next month to get more."

That's expensive!

When Zhou Qiuyuan received the secret medicine from the Ji family, he didn't feel much. It wasn't until he spent forty-five taels of gold to buy ten Dragon Tiger Bright Bone Pills that he felt the Ji family's sincerity.

The Ji family spends a considerable sum, allocating thirty Dragon-Tiger Bone-Enhancing Pills every month.

With the money and goods settled, Zhou Qiuyuan did not linger at Huixianzhai and strode away.

He had just reached an alleyway when he turned back to look behind him, his voice icy as he said, "You've been following me for so long, what is your purpose?"

Having mastered the art of listening to the wind, Zhou Qiuyuan was exceptionally sensitive to sound. He sensed someone following him as soon as he left Huixianzhai.

Song Ming slowly emerged from the darkness, staring at Zhou Qiuyuan with a look of surprise. "Not bad, you actually discovered me."

Zhou Qiuyuan's expression was not good, and there was an unspeakable coldness about him.

He was a vengeful man. Song Ming and the owner of Huixianzhai had plotted to murder him for money, and they had long been added to Zhou Qiuyuan's Book of Life and Death.

Zhou Qiuyuan, with his minor mastery of external cultivation, was finding it difficult to deal with Song Ming. He had planned to make a move only after he was strong enough, but unexpectedly, he encountered Song Ming again, who wanted to rob and kill him.

It's time to settle this score with him properly!

"Who are you? Why do you harbor murderous intent towards me?" Song Ming carefully examined Zhou Qiuyuan's face, finding no resemblance to the man. "Could it be that I, Song, killed one of your relatives or friends?"

"Aren't you sent by Huixianzhai to rob and kill?" Zhou Qiuyuan took out the Deadly Sword hidden by his leg with his right hand and poured out the Exploding Spirit Pill with his left hand, keeping it for later use.

Zhou Qiuyuan has mastered more than ten secret techniques and has been training outside the city for three days. His strength is now far beyond what it used to be.

This battle is not without a chance of victory.

Even if he couldn't win, he was confident he could escape.

"Murder for money? You know quite a lot!"

Huixianzhai wouldn't be interested in a few dozen taels of gold and wouldn't take action for that.

Song Ming had cultivated a special secret technique that made him exceptionally sensitive to killing intent. When the two were trading at close range, he sensed a fleeting killing intent from Zhou Qiuyuan.

"I don't know how I came to have a grudge against you. Since you dare to harbor murderous intent towards me, you should eliminate him beforehand to prevent future troubles."

Song Ming's eyes flashed with golden light as he pounced on Zhou Qiuyuan, his five fingers like the sharp claws of a golden eagle.

Zhou Qiuyuan held the deadly sword spine horizontally in front of him. Purple lightning appeared on the side of the sword spine facing Song Ming, which then turned into blue and white daylight.

The darkness in this area was dispelled by the daylight disc player, making it as bright as day.

Song Ming kept a close eye on the enemy's every move. When the blue-white daylight came on, he realized that the situation was not good. He decisively stopped the attack, closed his eyes and retreated.

The blinding blue-white light collided with the golden light and slowly faded away. Song Ming had already closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face.

He was experienced in combat and keenly sensed the location of the killing intent, raising his hand to block.

clang!

The palm struck the deadly sword with a piercing clang, sending sparks flying.

The object of the deadly sword's impact seemed to be not a fleshy palm, but a genuine spiritual artifact.

Song Ming did not wear any magical artifacts such as hand shields; instead, he blocked the deadly sword with his bare hands.

Could it be that it has reached the transformation stage? Or has it used a special medicine to temper its palm to a level comparable to a spiritual tool?

Or has he reached the Vajra Realm?

Zhou Qiuyuan missed his attack and retreated after drawing his sword.

Song Ming's hand transformed into a claw, and he pursued after her, grabbing the deadly blade in one swift motion.

His eyes had opened at some point, gleaming with golden light, showing no sign of being affected by Lei Zhouzhan.

This is a feigned attack to lure the enemy out.

Once the spiritual artifact is taken, that person will meet their end.
