I Don't Know Martial Art Chapter 342

Chapter 342 - Fire Dragon Blood Essence

That night, beside a wide road on the west side of Tiger City, there was a three-storey medicine store called the "Treasure House". Unlike the other shops on the street, this store was still open for business.

At that moment, an anxious female voice came from the lit room.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, it's already the third day. Why hasn't my father returned yet? Didn't he go to the Gesun Trading Company to discuss business with the barbarians?"

Miss, your subordinate doesn't know either. I've been to the Gesun Trading Company a few times in the past few days, and every time I ask the barbarian workers there, they always say that they didn't see the lord.

If Xiang Yun were to see this woman now, he would definitely recognize that he was Xiao Ling`er, the person he had traveled with for a period of time.

Ever since Xiao Ding came to the Tiger City, they discovered that the number of people in the Hu City had dwindled, and the att.i.tude of the barbarians towards them had become worse and worse. In order to protect her, Xiao Ding had asked her to stay in the pharmacy and not show her face, to take care of the medicines in the warehouse, while Xiao Ding had rushed between the medicine store and the Ge Clan's shop.

In the past, the collaboration between the medicine shop and the Gesun Trading Company had been very smooth and the purchase price had been very fair. However, even after Xiao Ding had gone over it several times, he still hadn't succeeded because the other party's price was too low.

Xiao Ding wanted to win more profits, so he went three times. After Xiao Ding left, the two shop a.s.sistants who followed him did not return. Xiao Ling`er then sent her shopkeeper, Zhou Tong, to inquire many times, but there was still no result after three days!

"No, I have to go to the Gesun Trading Company to get their men. If my father goes to their trading company and then disappears, then this must have something to do with them!" Xiao Ling'Er grabbed the sword beside her and was about to rush out of the room.

The shopkeeper, Zhou Tong, quickly stopped Xiao Ling'er. Zhou Tong was a middle-aged man with a long goatee, with a simple and honest face, but a hint of shrewdness on his face.

"Eldest Miss, please don't. The situation in the Tiger City is in chaos right now, the citizens of the Wind Cloud Country would not dare to walk on the streets in broad daylight. You are just a girl, and it is already late at night, how can you just walk around outside?"

"Moreover, the Gesun Trading Company is very powerful. If you ask them for a person with a sword in your hand, not only will you not get another person, you might even offend them!" Zhou Tong tried his best to persuade her.

The common folk of the Wind Cloud Country no longer had any status here. Moreover, the barbarians were too perverted, so it was natural that he would be in danger if he traveled alone at night. More importantly, with the strength of the Gesun Trading Company, she didn't have the strength to shake him.

"Ah, but what about my father? What if he is in danger? Are we supposed to wait here for him?"

Xiao Ling'Er became anxious. Although her cultivation was not bad, but when it came to dealing with people and running medicine stores, she was incomparable to Xiao Ding. Now that Xiao Ding was not around, she was at a loss.

Seeing this, Zhou Tong quickly comforted: "Eldest Miss, don't worry, I'll scout around tomorrow. If there's news of the old master, I'll immediately come back and notify him. In these few days, you can stay at the medicine store and properly guard the herbs."

"Sigh …" Xiao Ling'Er sighed helplessly and said to Zhou Tong in a gentle voice, "Shopkeeper Zhou, it's been hard on you these days. The situation outside is too chaotic. You have to be careful walking around by yourself."

"Thank you for your concern, Eldest Miss. I will definitely do my best to find out more about you. I will take my leave first."

"Go." Xiao Ling'Er helplessly waved her hand.

However, Xiao Ling'Er did not notice that as Zhou Tong turned around, her eyes swept over her curvy figure. The worry and concern in her eyes had turned into l.u.s.t.

"Hehe." Zhou Tong turned his back to Xiao Ling'Er and walked out of the room with an evil smile on his face.

At the same time, the Gesun Trading Company was situated to the north of the Tiger City. As the number one trading company of the barbarians in the Tiger City, the Gesun Trading Company was well-stocked with goods.

The Gesun Trading Company was seven stories tall and took up a huge amount of s.p.a.ce. It was the tallest building in Tiger City and it was a testament to its wealth and status.

At this moment, in a secret room on the seventh floor, a ten feet tall middle-aged barbarian wearing an inlaid gold jade robe was fiddling with a gem ring on his finger. He had a leisurely expression on his face.

The person sitting in front of him was shrouded in a black robe. His physique clearly did not match up with that of a barbarian. He should be an ordinary human.

"I heard you've been injured recently?" The barbarian man asked casually.

"Ha ha, President really knows how to joke around. It's just the nonsense of people who have nothing better to do."

"Is that so?" The barbarian man smiled playfully.

"It can't be that President Ou has come to find me just to look after my body, right?"

"Hehe, of course not. I've come this time to pa.s.s on the prince's decree."

Upon hearing the word 'prince', the black-robed man's body trembled, and he immediately straightened his back.

"What orders does Your Highness have? I hope that you can enlighten me!"

The prince had sent me to reward you. The prince said that you had done a very beautiful thing recently, and that the northern territories of the entire Cloud Country had already become a pot of porridge. This will be beneficial to the future plans of the barbarian race.

The barbarian held a small crystal bottle in his hand. The bottle was shining with a strange blood-colored light. It seemed as if the light had penetrated the crystal bottle, and was emitting a translucent, amber l.u.s.ter.

Seeing this, the black cloaked man immediately stretched out his hands to receive the crystal bottle excitedly, "This is something bestowed by the prince?"

"The prince treats you so well that he rewards you with a bottle of fire dragon blood essence, which makes me feel a little envious. If you refine this, you will be able to reach a higher level in your cultivation, and the purity of your cloud energy will be even higher. It will be greatly beneficial to your future cultivation!"

Hearing this, the man in black was so excited that his body slightly trembled. He directly knelt down on one knee towards the north and said, "Thank you for your grace, Your Highness!"

The barbarian man sneered when he saw the black-robed man's actions. "The prince has already said that you should do good work for him. Naturally, there will be benefits for you as well. He will do his best to fulfill your request."

"Many thanks to Your Highness, many thanks to the President. I have received great kindness from Your Highness, I will naturally return the favor by binding the plant!"

"En, that's good, now the king has entrusted you with a task!"

"What orders does Your Highness have? Please speak, President!"

"Your Highness wants you to …" The barbarian suddenly sent out a message as he spoke these words. Then, he secretly transmitted the contents of the message into the black-robed man's ears.

"Ah! How is it possible for me to steal this?" The black-robed man's voice was clearly nervous and fearful.

"Humph, why, you just said that you would repay your highness, but now that you've obtained the benefits, you want to back off. Your highness said that if you succeed in this matter, you will be heavily rewarded, and it will be more than ten times better than this Fire Dragon Blood!"

"Hu!"

Hearing this, the breathing under the black robe became noticeably heavier. After hesitating for a while, the black robed man seemed to have made up his mind. He nodded his head and said, "Alright. I will do my best to settle this matter."

"Haha, very good, very good!" The colorful-robed barbarian immediately issued a laughter that was as dull as the sound of thunder.

After the man in black left the room, the smile on the colorful-robed barbarian's face also disappeared. He waved his hand, and the ring in his hand shone with light. A bronze mirror appeared on the table in front of him, lying flat on the table!

The barbarian stretched out his big hand and stuck his sharp fingertips into his palm. The blood left behind on his palm and dripped onto the surface of the copper mirror. A strange scene suddenly appeared.

In the next moment, the surface of the copper mirror suddenly emitted a burst of dark light. There seemed to be a dark green vortex rotating within the entire copper mirror, and immediately, a dark green smoke rose and gathered above the copper mirror.

After the phantom formed, the entire room was immediately enveloped by a terrifying pressure. It was as if the air in the entire room had been sucked out, causing one to feel suffocated!

"This humble subject pays his respect to Your Highness!"

The moment the shadow appeared, the colorful-robed barbarian immediately fell to one knee. He placed his left hand on his chest and bowed deeply!

His pair of eyes were as deep as a black hole, as if they could see through everything. Looking at the barbarian in front of him, he actually opened his mouth and asked, "Dima, what did you summon me for?"

"Your Royal Highness, this subordinate will report to you that I have already handed over the task you've given me to that person. He has promised that he will definitely do his best to fulfill it!"

"That's good. If he can accomplish this, then the day of our Berserker Tribe's invasion will be just around the corner. It's a pity that Xiang Tian isn't here, or I'll fight him once again!"

The colorful-robed barbarian immediately kneeled down and said: "Your majesty is unparalleled in power, what kind of thing is that Wind Cloud Country's Xiang Lingtian? Even if he was inside the Cold Mountain Pa.s.s, he would still not be a match for Your Highness!"

"Haha …" The head let out a low and majestic laughter before it immediately instructed.

Dima, in the coming period of time, you must intensify your efforts to collect information from all the different countries in the world. And, you must gather all of the medicines in the Tiger City so that we can prepare for the upcoming war. His Majesty, the Barbarian Emperor, will personally take care of this matter.

"This subordinate will do his best to handle this matter and serve the King and the Barbarian Emperor!"

"Un, very good!" The giant head nodded in satisfaction. Then, two rays of blood-red light shot out from its eyes.

"In order to make it convenient for you to act, This King has bestowed upon you a Blood Essence Seal that can summon a Blood Shadow at a critical moment."

"This humble subject kowtows and thanks Your Highness!" Excitement appeared on the face of the colorful-robed barbarian as he kowtowed once again. The cloud above the bronze mirror began to churn, then it turned into a dark green vortex and drilled back into the bronze mirror …
