Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World-Chapter 55 - 52: Pharmacist Elder Liu

After Chen Yi entered the pharmacy, the two men outside loitered at the door, occasionally glancing towards the entrance.

The one who received Chen Yi was the same young girl as before, dressed in a proper green robe, youthful and vibrant.

Upon seeing Chen Yi, she immediately remembered the incident a few months back when this young man spent only a couple silver pieces on a Martial Method in her shop.

That day, after selling the Martial Method for a few silvers, she was severely scolded by the Shopkeeper. "What is our shop's worth? Even if we don't measure our wares in gold, you sell things for a couple of silver coins?"

In the future, they should kick out such paupers immediately.

Of course, Xiao Qing didn't take the Shopkeeper's words literally and drive Chen Yi out,

She maintained her smile and greeted Chen Yi:

"Welcome again, Sir. I'm Xiao Qing, what do you need this time?

Oh, by the way, we no longer sell Body Refining Techniques separately, I'm sorry.

If you want to exchange for other Body Refining Techniques, you... you must purchase them along with the corresponding medicinal formula..."

Xiao Qing's voice grew smaller and smaller, her expression showing embarrassment.

She now somewhat regretted selling the "Ancient Vajra Jue" to Chen Yi. Suffering a bout of scolding for a couple of silver coins was one thing,

But she seemed to have set a handsome young man up.

Fortunately, it had only delayed him for a few months. The problem, she hoped, wasn't too large, right?

"I want to buy some medicine - twenty-year-old Tiger Bone Powder, hundred-year-old Ginseng, and hundred-year-old Turtle Blood. Do you have them?"

As for Xiao Qing's words, Chen Yi didn't mind. Snobbery was a normal trait for shopkeepers. Xiao Qing was one of the more polite ones among such snobs.

As for transactions, as long as it could be made, one could ignore their attitudes, right?

Hearing that this time he came to buy medicine, Xiao Qing's eyes lit up:

"We have all of them. Although the three items you mentioned are rare, we have them in our official island shop.

Tiger Bone Powder costs 20 gold per two, hundred-year-old Ginseng is 10 gold per piece, and Turtle Blood is 2 grams per gold. How much would you like?"

"Uh ... are all the prices in gold? Are there cheaper ones with fewer years?"

Hearing the price, Chen Yi felt somewhat awkward.The gold-silver ratio in both worlds was the same, with 1 gold being worth 100 silver. The hundred or so silver pieces he currently had could barely buy anything.

Hearing this, Xiao Qing's smile paused before quickly resuming: "Sir, how much are you looking to spend?"

"Well, about... half of the price you quoted?"

"Kick him out!" Suddenly, Xiao Qing heard the Shopkeeper's voice in her ear.

Xiao Qing awkwardly said, "I'm sorry, sir. We really don't sell the items you want. Why don't you take a look around the stalls outside?"

Damn, looked down upon again. Medicinal prices on this island are so high, how do people here survive?

In reality, Chen Yi could afford the prices in this shop if he wanted to. At worst, he could just seriously fish for a month. At his current level, he could earn between 100 to 200 silvers daily from fishing.

Doing this for a month would get him 6000 silvers, or 60 gold. That way, he could still afford the top-grade Bone Strengthening Powder.

However, he used his wealth of time primarily for cultivation and consumed most of the fish he caught himself. He really hadn't sold much for money.

Oh well, I'll go out and take a look then.

After Chen Yi left the shop, he strolled around various stalls, only to find that most of them were selling seafood. He didn't find any Ginseng or Tiger Bone he wanted.

He only found one medicine stall after great difficulty, and the man there only knew a little. Upon questioning by Chen Yi, he mentioned that mountain produces were available, but needed to be shipped on official boats to the island.

Cheaper things Chen Yi could afford were not worth shipping here, unless he was willing to find replacements from marine Medicinal materials that shared the same properties - those were cheaper and more plentiful.

There were certainly differences between the two worlds after all. Chen Yi pondered for a while. He was very unfamiliar with the situation on this island, making it difficult for him to proceed.

"Big Bro, what's that kid buying? Why is he still wandering around? I'm hungry, shall we have a bite to eat and rob him later?"

"Hungry? Endure it! Can't you do anything of significance?! Do you see any animals that hunt without a bit of patience?!"

"Oh~, but I really want to eat some of Liu family's flatbread..."

At this point, Chen Yi suddenly heard the two men behind him talking again.

His eyes lit up - that's it!

Next, Chen Yi pretended to look disappointed and began walking towards the outskirts of the island.

Behind him, the two men's eyes lit up in excitement, "Quick, that guy is finally heading out of the island. Big Bro, let's follow him!"

After leaving the market town, Chen Yi purposely looked for a secluded part of the shore, just about to embark on a boat.

At that moment, he heard a classic villain's commotion from behind him:

"Hey, kid, you've got a pretty good haul. How about lending some money to your brother to spend?"

Behind him, a tall and thin figure, as well as a short and sturdy one emerged from behind some rocks, advancing towards Chen Yi.

Chen Yi looked back at the two men, without wasting words, he lifted his right leg and stomped forcefully on the ground.

Boom!

The rock beneath his foot immediately cracked open.

Holy crap! A body cultivator?!

The two brothers instantly widened their eyes, their smiles vanished, as they stood there, their legs going a bit weak, as if they couldn't stand properly.

The stones in this world were actually harder than in the martial world, Chen Yi had used about 50% of his strength, applying his Mingjin technique.

Normally, this one strike would be enough to shatter the rock beneath his feet, or at least make a large pit,

but unexpectedly, it only cracked.

Luckily, this did not affect the outcome.

Opposite him, the stocky man just stood there dumbfounded,

but the tall one, after a pause, whispered into his older brother's ear:

"Big bro, should I still attack his upper three paths with lime?"

"Attack your M, we've upset a tough one, smile, hurry up and join me in smiling!

Hehe."

"Oh, hehehe."

The two men across from him broke into awkward laughter.

Chen Yi crossed his arms over his chest, his gaze fixed on the two men: "How do you think your heads compare to this rock?"

"Huh?"

"We wouldn't dare to compare, wouldn't dare to compare. Hehehe."

"Mister, you're powerful, you're powerful! Hehehe."

Chen Yi took a step forward, the two men immediately retreated two steps backward, almost peeing themselves in fright.

"So, what do you need?" Chen Yi asked coldly.

"We...we...we.. wanted to offer you a good job!" The older brother stuttered for quite some time before hurriedly changing the subject.

" Yep, yep, yep, my big brother is acquainted with the Chen Family's fishing crew, he wanted to introduce them to you... smack!"

The stocky older brother immediately slapped his younger brother's neck, interrupting him.

"What 'Chen Family'? I was planning to introduce you to the official fishing crew of Thirty-Two Island,

It's the official crew with cultivators on board, it's safe and they also pay high prices..."

The older brother laughed and explained. At this point, if he dared to introduce the Chen Family to Chen Yi, he would probably die.

"Hmf, I'm not interested in any fishing crew. Are you familiar with this island?" Chen Yi asked.

"Not really familiar, not really... hehehe" The younger brother tentatively answered.

"Oh, then there's no use keeping you."

"We're familiar!!" The stocky young man quickly changed his answer, "We've been here on Thirty-Two Island for seven or eight years, we're very familiar!!"

"Do you know who sells ordinary medicinal materials, or is capable of producing ordinary medicines?" Chen Yi continued questioning.

"Medicinal materials... um... ahh yes! Old Liu Tou in the west end of the island is a pharmacist. He likes to collect all sorts of odd medicinal materials and specializes in studying them. He can also prescribe prescriptions."

"Good, take me there." If he studies medicinal materials and can prescribe, even if he's an ordinary person, he should have some skills. Chen Yi also wanted to take this opportunity to understand the biological state of this world.

"Sure, sure, sir please, please." The stocky young man quickly agreed.

The taller and thinner one then leaned in and whispered in his big brother's ear:

"Big bro, Old Liu Tou's place is so far away, the sun will almost be setting by the time we get there. Can we eat something before we go? I'm hungry."

"Hungry your mother! Your life is hanging by a thread! ...smack!" The little brother received another slap and, with a wronged expression, followed his older brother who was leading the way.

Half an hour later, the three arrived outside a large courtyard in the western part of the island. Without even entering the courtyard, a stench of blood mixed with various odors assaulted their senses.

Chen Yi furrowed his brows, anyone who didn't know better might think this was a slaughterhouse.

He was about to knock when a hoarse, old voice issued from inside:

"Come in, the door isn't locked."
