Chapter 127: Arrival, Head to Dragon Mountain Town!
Su Ruolan heard the words "Small Rejuvenation Pill" and looked incredibly surprised, asking, "Are you talking about... Spiritual Medicine?!"
There are two types of Medicine Pills.
One is the common traditional Chinese medicine pills, such as the Six-flavor Rehmannia Pill, Bezoar Detoxification Pills, and so on.
The other is called "Spiritual Medicine."
The emphasis on Spiritual Medicine is on the "Spiritual," which is made from rare medicinal materials infused with Spiritual Energy. Not to mention the extreme difficulty of the refinement process, which requires a very high level of skill, but gathering the rare medicinal materials is even more challenging.
Like the extremely valuable Hundred-year-old Wild Ginseng, century-old Ganoderma, etc., are considered the most common rare medicinal materials. Even the least expensive of these materials often start at tens or hundreds of thousands per plant, with the harder to find ones selling for over ten million.
The medicinal materials alone are extremely difficult to find, coupled with the need for a skilled person to refine them.
Hence, the price of Spiritual Medicine is very expensive.
Su Ruolan had heard of the Small Rejuvenation Pill.
The Small Rejuvenation Pill, refined by Luo Shui Divine Doctor, can cure all diseases and has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. Its price on the black market has been hyped up to six or seven million, but it's rarely circulated in the market, and it's extraordinarily difficult to find one.
Not long ago, two pills appeared in Lake City, but they were bought by Brother Hai from Lake City for a high price.
Therefore, it was surprising enough that Qin Feng simply possessed a Spiritual Medicine, but he also casually gave it away to someone he had just met, which truly astonished Su Ruolan.
"Right, his illness could only be saved by medicine of the Small Rejuvenation Pill's caliber."
Qin Feng sighed.
Su Ruolan could tell that his sigh was for the difficulty of treating the old man's illness, not for lamenting over the Spiritual Medicine. She found him even more unbelievable and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where did you... buy the Small Rejuvenation Pill from?"
"Oh, a friend gave it to me."
Qin Feng said.
"..."
Su Ruolan was stunned.
Her grandfather wanted to buy Small Rejuvenation Pills and had to rely on many connections. Even with the backing of the Xu family, with all their wealth, they could not purchase them. Yet Qin Feng, who was known as a useless good-for-nothing, actually had friends willing to give him Small Rejuvenation Pills.
He really was becoming more and more mysterious...
After a moment.
The old man returned from the bathroom, completely revitalized, looking as if he had grown ten years younger, his legs and feet much more agile, beaming ecstatically.
"I didn't expect it to really work. Young man, I'm truly grateful to you! This medicine must be expensive, right? I'll save up and pay you back later..."
"No need, it's not expensive."
Qin Feng smiled and declined.
Su Ruolan, standing to one side and observing Qin Feng, couldn't help but reveal a slight smile on her lips, thinking how good a person Qin Feng was, and even felt that he seemed more like a Saintly Doctor who heals the world than her own grandfather...
Of course.
What she didn't know was that a Small Rejuvenation Pill to Qin Feng was indeed not expensive.
Moreover, when Luo Shui Divine Doctor mass-refined the Small Rejuvenation Pills back in the day, Qin Feng had helped a great deal. After the successful refinement, even being given hundreds of them, he found them too heavy to carry in his pocket and couldn't be bothered to take them.
"Grandpa Lan, if those bad guys come looking for you again, just give them this note, it will keep you safe."
Qin Feng wrote a note and gave it to him with some instructions.
"Okay, okay, thank you so much."
The old man gratefully accepted it.
...
As the sun set in the west.
The train finally reached Dragon Mountain City in the Southwest.
Qin Feng and Su Ruolan bid farewell to them at the train station and gave all the remaining large bags of instant noodles and snacks to the little girl, Lan Xin.
"Thank you, brother and sister. I wish for you to hold hands together and grow old together!"
Lan Xin smiled brightly.
Her smile was as pure and beautiful as the wildflowers on the green grassland.
When Su Ruolan heard the words "grow old together," a blush appeared on her face again.
Qin Feng, however, smiled and patted Lan Xin on the head, saying, "Alright, goodbye."
After the separation.
Su Ruolan was about to ask Qin Feng what he had written on the note he gave to the old man, when her phone rang.
It was her friend Chen Hao who was supposed to pick her up at the station.
She found out about the Dragon Mountain Black Market offering the rare medicinal materials Qin Feng needed through Chen Hao.
The two met, and a slick and powdered Chen Hao, dressed in a suit, excitedly greeted her: "Ruolan, long time no see."
At the same time, his gaze at her flashed with a tinge of marvel and greed.
It had been more than half a year.
Not only had she become more and more beautiful, but her figure had also improved!
After exchanging pleasantries, Su Ruolan introduced him to Qin Feng, saying: "This is my friend; he came with me."
"What?!"
Chen Hao frowned immediately when he saw she had brought someone else, showing some displeasure.
Back in the early years in Lake City, he met Su Ruolan and was captivated by her beauty like a Heavenly People, but unfortunately, she was the granddaughter of the Holy Doctor with too great a difference in social status, so over time, he lost hope. After moving to the Southwest, hope faded even more.
Who knew that a few days ago he would suddenly receive a call from Su Ruolan looking for some rare medicinal materials.
This made him ecstatic; it was a perfect opportunity!
She came alone to a distant land; just a little trickery was needed to get her in his grasp!
Once cooked rice is turned into a mature meal, add some sweet talk, and what you get is not just her beauty but the network resources of her Holy Doctor Grandpa, which is extremely beneficial for one's future!
Moreover, tonight was different from the past.
Previously just an ordinary person, but after coming to the Southwest, the people and events he encountered were extraordinary, and he grew more confident in winning her over!
But unexpectedly, she had also brought a man.
"His name is Qin Feng."
Su Ruolan continued to introduce at the moment.
"Qin... Feng?!"
Chen Hao was startled upon hearing the name, "You are Qin Feng?"
"Do you know me?" Qin Feng was puzzled.
"Hahaha..."
Chen Hao, upon confirming his identity, couldn't help but laugh and then scoffed disdainfully, "You are so well-known in Lake City, how could I not know you."
He was just worried about what divine presence this "love rival" was.
It turned out to be the infamous loser from Lake City!
Three years ago, the Xu family's wedding affair shocked the entire Lake City. He, who was still in Lake City at that time, was very envious of Qin Feng, thinking that marrying into the Xu family could save him at least a decade or more of struggle. However, he later heard that Qin Feng's life in the Xu family was extremely miserable, becoming the utter loser, the biggest joke in Lake City.
Now he could rest easy.
The grand-daughter of the Holy Doctor would definitely not fancy a loser who couldn't even enter a house properly.
"Ruolan, let's go!"
Chen Hao ignored Qin Feng, feeling that talking to such an inferior person was beneath him, and he squeezed passed Qin Feng to help Su Ruolan with her luggage, "The trip to Dragon Mountain Black Market still takes three to four hours by car from here, let's first rest at Dragon Mountain Town tonight, and go to the black market tomorrow."
In a moment.
The three of them boarded the long-distance bus, heading for Dragon Mountain Town.
Chen Hao was very vexed.
Su Ruolan sat by the window in the last row, and between him and Su Ruolan, Qin Feng sat.
The bus was old-style, and the seats a bit cramped. With every bump and shake, Qin Feng and Su Ruolan's arms, white as lotus root, touched, which made Chen Hao very unhappy.
This was the goddess whom he had once looked up to but could never have!
And now this guy was taking advantage!
Chen Hao couldn't stand it any longer and said arrogantly to Qin Feng: "Move over! Ruolan and I haven't seen each other for a long time and we have a lot to talk about."
"Shh!"
Qin Feng made a silencing gesture and then, pointing to Su Ruolan, spread his hands in a helpless expression.
Chen Hao looked up.
He saw that Su Ruolan, tired from the journey, had at some point fallen asleep with her head on Qin Feng's shoulder!
Damn!
Such a perfect, divine, and inviolable goddess was actually leaning on this guy Qin Feng to sleep!
And this guy has the look of being wronged?
For a time.
Chen Hao had the urge to strangle Qin Feng to death.
