From the moment the Tiger Soul awakened, I became invincible.

Chapter 78 Re-entering the Thatched Cottage, Trouble Comes Knocking

Inside Weinan City.

The people on the streets of the entire city seemed to be in a hurry, even more so than in Tianfeng City.

"Brother Qin, I'll go find a place to stay first."

After saying that, Mo Yanfeng turned and left.

Only Qin Wu remained, wandering aimlessly through Weinan City.

Although he claimed to be just strolling around, Qin Wu actually had his own purpose.

He came to Weinan City not only to destroy the intelligence base of Yanyu Tower, but also to visit Baicaotang.

He is now not far from achieving the state of nourishing the heart and unblocking the meridians.

However, it will still take a considerable amount of time to truly achieve a breakthrough.

And those precious medicines that aid in cultivation can accelerate this process.

He has always used the Hundred-Refined Elixir, which is more expensive than the Eight-Treasure Soup, but it does not have those troublesome restrictions.

But without those troublesome restrictions.

However, Qin Wu could clearly feel that the effects of the Hundred Refinement Pill on him had decreased significantly.

Mo Yanfeng, who is at the same level as him in terms of Qi cultivation, does not have a similar problem.

According to Mo Yanfeng's guess, this should be the difference in their fundamental backgrounds.

When he said this, Mo Yanfeng was naturally extremely envious.

Under normal circumstances, let alone those at the Qi and Lung Realm, even martial artists at the Heart and Meridian Cultivation Realm would rarely feel a significant difference.

Let alone those at the Qi Condensation Realm, even martial artists at the Heart Nourishing and Meridian Opening Realm would rarely feel a significant difference.

Therefore, Qin Wu decided to go to Baicaotang.

As a powerful force spanning Xuanzhou, Baicaotang should have a solution.

Meanwhile, in a secluded tavern.

"Our people have already discovered Qin Wu."

A cold voice rang out in the tavern.

The moment the voice was heard, a figure appeared inside the tavern, while another person walked out from the other side.

These two were none other than the top-tier assassins from the Misty Rain Pavilion.

"It's finally here."

The two men sneered, and one of them spoke:

"Our two top-tier assassins from the Misty Rain Pavilion, along with several top-tier assassins, have gathered here. This time, we are determined to make Qin Wu die a gruesome death and let the entire Xuanzhou know the might of our Misty Rain Pavilion."

"Should we take the initiative? He's not on solid ground yet; now might be a good opportunity to strike."

The speaker, with a disdainful expression, continued:

"He's just a twenty-year-old brat. In my opinion, it's not that he's strong, but that the Rakshasa is too useless, allowing such a brat to take advantage of the situation."

The other person considered it for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"No rush. The host has repeatedly warned us not to underestimate this person."

Since he's come to Weinan City, he'll definitely look for my Misty Rain Pavilion stronghold. We can wait and kill him then.

"Fine, let him live a few more days."

The two exchanged a glance and both saw the murderous intent in each other's eyes.

They earned their status through bloodshed, so they would never allow anyone to dishonor them!

Qin Wu knew nothing about the Misty Rain Pavilion.

He had now found the location of Baicaotang in Weinan City.

It wasn't until he left Tai'an City that Qin Wu realized how poor and remote Tai'an City was.

They traveled to many cities, and Baicaotang could be said to be everywhere.

But Tai'an City is different.

As soon as I entered Baicaotang, a servant quickly came to greet me.

"Sir, what would you like to buy?"

"I want to know if there is a better cultivation elixir than the Hundred Refinement Pill."

Upon hearing this, the servant sized up Qin Wu, then hesitated and said:

"Of course there are, but... such precious medicines are probably beyond the reach of ordinary people, and they are also quite expensive."

Price is not an issue.

Qin Wu didn't care at all. During this time, he traveled to several cities and gained a lot of money, though he didn't get much else.

Some cultivation medicines are still affordable.

The servant immediately spoke up:

"In that case, you can buy some White Cloud Pills. The White Cloud Pills are more than 30% more effective than Hundred Refinement Pills."

"Thirty percent?"

Qin Wu frowned. Thirty percent wasn't bad.

However, given his current absorption efficiency, it probably won't be long before the White Cloud Pill, like the Hundred Refinement Pill, will be phased out by him.

"Is there a better elixir?"

"this……"

The servant hesitated for a moment, then looked at the counter.

Upon hearing this, a woman behind the counter who was doing the accounting looked up, her expression showing some surprise as she looked at Qin Wu, and then walked over.

She waved her hand, dismissing the servant, and then spoke:

"This customer wishes to order a custom-made precious medicine?"

"Custom-made?"

"good."

The woman spoke:

"For ordinary martial artists, the Hundred Refinement Pill is sufficient. Even for martial artists at the Heart Nourishing and Meridian Opening Realm, the Hundred Refinement Pill is usually barely enough, but the effect will be somewhat weaker."

The White Cloud Pill is excellent, but it costs a full thirty taels of silver per pill.

At this point, she looked Qin Wu up and down, and then said:

"If they don't even think much of Baiyun Dan, there are probably very few people like them in the entire Xuanzhou."

These people are either extremely wealthy or exceptionally talented; for these clients, we offer exclusive, customized services.

"That's great!"

Qin Wu smiled.

He was not only exceptionally talented, but also incredibly wealthy.

Seeing that Qin Wu's expression remained unchanged, the woman also put on a smile.

It's been a long time since I've seen such a big client.

She solemnly said:

"My name is Meng Qiudie, and I am an alchemist at Baicaotang. May I ask how you are addressed?"

"Qin Wu".

Upon hearing this, Meng Qiudie was somewhat surprised and said:

"Are you Qin Wu, the legendary killer of Baili Yufeng?"

Seeing Qin Wu nod, Meng Qiudie looked shocked.

"No wonder they need to order custom-made precious medicine. A strongman who can defeat Baili Yufeng certainly deserves it."

In that case, please tell me the characteristics of your preferred cultivation method so that I can customize a product accordingly.

Qin Wu did not hesitate and told Meng Qiudie about the characteristics of the Divine Elephant Skill.

At the same time, he was also somewhat curious about Meng Qiudie.

This was the first time he had ever heard of the profession of alchemist.

Just as he had thought, Baicaotang was extraordinary, perhaps even a transcendent force.

It's laughable that martial artists all over the world are eager to glimpse the realm after cultivating the heart and opening the meridians, yet no one knows that this seemingly ordinary Hundred Herbs Hall may hold a secret that they can only dream of.

However, this was ultimately just his guess.

Whether this is truly the case remains to be seen.

After a moment, Meng Qiudie hesitated for a moment, then spoke:

"According to the cultivation method you described, it requires earthworm grass, yellow spirit grass, purple salvia miltiorrhiza..."

Meng Qiudie Lin Lin mentioned dozens of medicinal herbs.

Then she shook her head and sighed:

"No, most of these medicinal herbs require at least a hundred years to prepare. Some of them are in Baicaotang's reserves, but not many. It's impossible for you to bring out all of them for one person."

I'll find you some affordable alternatives; the efficacy might be slightly reduced, but they should be sufficient.

Qin Wu's heart stirred, and he asked:

"If we follow your prescription, how much more effective will it be compared to the White Cloud Pill?"

Meng Qiudie smiled and said:

"These medicinal herbs are extremely expensive, and more importantly, they are in short supply. If we can find these herbs and refine a batch of pills, the effect will probably be more than double that of the White Cloud Pill."

Even if we use a substitute, it would still cost at least one hundred taels of silver per pill, and the effect... should be 20% higher than the White Cloud Pill.

The gap is too big.

Qin Wu took his package from behind him and opened it.

"Is this enough?"

There weren't many things inside, but when the package was opened, Meng Qiudie froze on the spot.

"This...did your guest rob a top-tier power? No, this is too much. Even if you robbed a power, you probably couldn't gather this much rare and precious material."

She looked at Qin Wu and gasped.

This guy is absolutely terrifying; otherwise, there's no reason why he could have so many resources.

Qin Wu didn't pay attention to her gaze.

These rare and precious materials are enough to drive any martial artist mad.

In terms of resources, it wouldn't be difficult to supply ten martial artists at the Heart Nourishing and Meridian Opening Realm.

But Qin Wu didn't care at all.

No matter how many rare and precious materials you possess, they are meaningless if you cannot convert them into your own strength.

Meng Qiudie took stock of the items.

After a moment, she spoke:

"We have everything else, but we're missing purple salvia miltiorrhiza and elephant bone flower."

The purple salvia miltiorrhiza is fine; replacing it with other medicinal herbs won't have a significant impact. However, without the elephant bone flower, the medicinal effect will be reduced by at least 20%.

Meng Qiudie's eyes were filled with regret.

Even she rarely had the opportunity to refine such a precious elixir.

"Where can I find elephant bone flowers?"

Qin Wu asked, "A difference of 20% is not small."

Meng Qiudie considered for a moment, then spoke:

"Well then, there are many prominent families in Weinan City, so there must be some, but we don't know which family has them, and the other party may not be willing to give them up."

I can contact various prominent families through Baicaotang's channels. If anyone is willing to make the exchange, I will inform you as soon as possible.

"If that's the case, then this is troublesome."

Qin Wu didn't say anything more after that, but he bought some Baiyun Dan from Baicaotang.

The effects of Baiyun Dan were indeed as Meng Qiudie had said, exceeding those of the previous Bailian Dan by more than 30%.

This also made Qin Wu somewhat expectant, wondering just how powerful the pill, which was said to double the effect, really was.

If this medicine can be successfully prepared, he should be able to overcome the bottleneck of nourishing the heart and opening the meridians in just a few days.

That evening, Qin Wu and Mo Yanfeng met up and went to the inn they had booked in advance.

Mo Yanfeng spoke:

"I inquired about the Misty Rain Pavilion, but I don't have any leads yet."

"That's normal. After all, it's the stronghold of an assassin organization. If it were discovered so easily, even if Yanyu Tower had great abilities, it would probably be difficult to stay safe."

Qin Wu was prepared.

It's normal for ordinary people not to know about the Misty Rain Pavilion stronghold, but it's impossible for those powerful forces not to know.

If we visit a few powerful forces tomorrow, we will naturally get the answer.

Moreover, there is no need to antagonize each other.

This kind of worthless intelligence could be easily obtained by Qin Wu as long as he was willing to pay a small price.

However, the next day, after Qin Wu visited several powerful forces in Weinan City, he also frowned.

Not only those martial arts practitioners, but even these forces, kept their mouths shut.

Back at the inn, Mo Yanfeng began:

"Brother Qin, is it possible that there isn't actually a base for the Misty Rain Pavilion in Weinan City?"

Qin Wu shook his head, his expression resolute.

"This place is not far from Tianyong City, and Weinan City is quite strong overall. Unless Yanyu Tower stops doing business, it would never be like this."

Given the current situation, there's only one possibility.

He remained calm and said:

"The various forces in Weinan City have reached a tacit agreement."

This is not impossible.

After all, when he entered the city, he had already revealed at least the strength of the Mind-Nourishing Meridian Opening stage to Shen Luoyan.

A "dragon crossing the river" suddenly appeared, and it happened at a time when the situation in Weinan City was extremely tense.

It would be strange if the various forces in Weinan City didn't pay attention.

But he couldn't understand.

What good would it do the people of Weinan City if they prevented him from finding the Misty Rain Pavilion's stronghold?

Just then, a few people walked over.

One of them was Shen Luoyan, who had met Qin Wu once before.

The others also had a deep and focused aura, their temples bulging, and the energy of their blood and qi surging around them was even more powerful.

This is enough to prove that all of these people in front of us are martial artists who have entered the realm of nourishing the heart and opening the meridians.

"I wonder what brings you all here?"

Qin Wu spoke directly.

"Qin..."

Just as Shen Luoyan was about to speak, she was rudely interrupted by someone.

"Qin Wu, I don't care what you're planning to do by looking for Yanyu Tower, but let me make this clear to you: no one will tell you anything about Yanyu Tower."

Qin Wu narrowed his eyes, his voice turning colder, and said:

"What, do you all have a past with that Master of the Misty Rain Pavilion?"

"What business is it of mine with an assassin organization? But Weinan City will not tolerate any unrest right now, or don't blame us for being impolite!"

In an instant, the surrounding air seemed to cool down by several degrees.

Shen Luoyan, standing to the side, quickly tried to smooth things over, saying:

"Brother Qin Wu, this is Yang Tai, the leader of the Divine Fist Sect. He has a fiery temper, so please don't take him to heart."

However, Weinan City cannot tolerate any unrest during this period, and I hope Brother Qin Wu will not make things difficult for us.

"If you really want to cause trouble for Yanyu Tower, wait until things settle down in Weinan City, and we will naturally stop interfering."

Although Shen Luoyan spoke gently, Qin Wu heard her clearly.

The two men, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, were ultimately trying to make him give up the idea of ​​taking action.

Mo Yanfeng frowned to the side.

These people...

That's a bit domineering.

He could understand that things were tense in Weinan City, which was why people were so easily alarmed.

However, Qin Wu had already demonstrated his strength before entering Weinan City. Moreover, he did not cause trouble for anyone else in Weinan City from beginning to end. His goal was clear: to seek revenge against Yanyu Tower.

Under such circumstances, these people from Weinan City came to our door so forcefully.

His tone was even more domineering.

It can be said that they didn't give Qin Wu any face at all.

Qin Wu smiled, picked up the teacup on the table, took a small sip, and then spoke:

"The assassins from Yanyu Tower wanted to kill me, so I'm going to kill them. This is a personal vendetta, and even more so, a blood feud. What happened in Weinan City has nothing to do with me, but I'm determined to destroy Yanyu Tower's stronghold."

A concession?

Give these people face?

Bullshit!

Qin Wu's expression was even more domineering and arrogant than Yang Tai of the Divine Fist Sect.

People respect me one foot, and I respect others ten feet.

This has always been Qin Wu's guiding principle.

But now that someone is not giving him face, that's a different story.

"Do you have any objections?"

These five words were spoken.

Yang Tai's eyes widened in anger.

"Kid, do you really think you're a top expert just because you killed Baili Yufeng?"

I've never met Baili Yufeng, but you'd better keep your head down in front of me!

He looked disdainful.

How could a kid who's at most twenty years old possibly have that kind of strength?

He wanted to test Qin Wu's abilities today.

reason?

It doesn't matter at all.

Because he would never bow down to a twenty-year-old boy.

If that's the case, then that kid should bow down to him.

He is the master of the Divine Fist Sect!

Upon hearing this, Shen Luoyan's expression changed slightly.

What a brute!

She had cursed Yang Tai a thousand times in her heart.

They came to warn Qin Wu not to cause trouble, not to escalate the conflict.

Yang Tai's current actions.

This almost forced Qin Wu to take action.

She quickly stepped forward and was about to speak.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wu suddenly grinned.

His aura suddenly changed, becoming as fierce as a tiger descending from the mountain.

"Indeed, I was underestimated."

Qin Wu's expression suddenly turned cold.

Sure enough, it's the same everywhere; the right to speak is earned through struggle.

But would this person really be so reckless as to rashly cause trouble for someone who doesn't know their own limitations?

A person like that should have been beaten to death long ago.

Or is he backed by someone?
