Chapter 136: The Moon Concealing Stone?
"Qin, Mr. Qin, you couldn't possibly be the one rumored to be searched for by the entire world..."
Lord Dog asked, stunned.
He didn't finish speaking when Qin Feng interrupted him, "Nice weather today."
Lord Dog was taken aback.
Then he quickly realized and chuckled along, "Yes, yes, the weather is good, haha..."
He asked cleverly.
Knowing when to stop is a virtue.
At the same time.
He felt immensely shaken in his heart, even feeling an impulse to bow down in supreme worship to Qin Feng!
If he really is that person.
Then, he must follow him no matter what.
Even if it's dangerous.
Because fortune favors the brave!
Who in the world wouldn't want to dance with dragons?
At that moment, Qin Feng looked at him and said, "Enough, tell me, what trouble have you run into?"
"Ah?"
Lord Dog was startled, then chuckled sheepishly and flattered, "Mr. Qin is truly omniscient, even guessing this..."
"..."
Qin Feng was speechless.
Was it hard to guess that he had a problem?
Old Guai used to address him as "Young Master," but this time he contacted him and immediately switched to calling him "Mr. Qin."
Unsolicited favors suggest an ulterior motive.
So, switching to "Mr. Qin" was very telling.
Moreover.
When Qin Feng called Lord Dog last night, the moment he recognized it was him, he was so excited he almost cried, even more excited than the time Old Fu received his call. It was like seeing a glimmer of hope in a dire situation.
"Mr. Qin..."
"Don't call me 'master,' I'm not that old."
"Of course, Mr. Qin."
Lord Dog looked a bit embarrassed, "Well! I do have a little bit of trouble..."
It turned out.
Mu Jianglin, the daughter of the Mu Family, one of the Southwest Eight Kings, had contracted a strange illness.
The Mu Family searched everywhere for famous doctors and Holy Doctors, but to no avail.
Afterward, the Mu Family announced to the public.
Whoever could cure her.
Would be rewarded with the Mu Family's heirloom—the Moon Concealing Stone!
The Mu Family is a household name in traditional Chinese medicine.
Over half of the nation's high-quality medicinal materials came from them, having a huge influence within the circle, confidently holding their position among the Southwest Eight Kings.
Rumor had it that the reason the Mu Family could cultivate such high-quality medicinal materials was all thanks to the Moon Concealing Stone!
So, once the news came out.
Many people also began seeking doctors for the Mu Family.
However.
Mu Jianglin's illness remained uncured.
Instead, the influx of doctors disturbed her rest even more, worsening her condition.
After that.
The Mu Family decided to only allow two doctors to visit each day.
And so, everyone started to line up.
Those at the back worried more that if the illness were to be cured by a doctor ahead, it would be over for them, so conflicts arose continuously.
Lord Dog spent a fortune to hire two doctors to give it a try too.
Just as his turn was approaching, the Qian Family, also one of the Southwest Eight Kings, wanted to cut in line ahead of him.
Naturally, he refused, resulting in a significant conflict.
In the end.
The conflict escalated, and the two made a bet—if the doctor hired by Lord Dog failed to cure her, he would have to give a substantial wealth to the Qian Family, and the same would apply if their doctor failed.
Lord Dog was originally confident.
Because the doctor he hired came from the Hidden World and even possessed the skill of Alchemy.
Who knew.
After seeing the doctor hired by the Qian Family, Lord Dog's heart sank.
Turns out, the doctor he hired was the disciple of the doctor from the Qian Family.
Therefore, he was bound to lose this time!
Seeing that it was his Doctor's turn for treatment tomorrow, he still hadn't found a new doctor.
At this moment.
After Lord Dog had finished speaking, he made a pained expression and said to Qin Feng, "Mr. Qin, you know, the higher one stands, the harder they fall, especially people like us, a slight misstep could mean losing everything, and I really can't afford to lose…"
"So that's how it is."
Qin Feng pondered chin in hand after hearing this and said, "Alright then, I will go tomorrow!"
"Really? That's great!"
Lord Dog's eyes shone with excitement as he gratefully said with tears, "You've been so good to me, you're like my own grandfather! I've decided, I will serve you like an ox or a horse for the rest of my life; I won't leave your side!"
"Get lost!"
Qin Feng pushed him away in annoyance.
The reason he agreed was only because he was interested in Mu Family's Moon Concealing Stone.
At that moment, Lord Dog's phone rang.
After taking the call.
Lord Dog said with embarrassment, "Mr. Qin, I'm really sorry, but something urgent came up, and I can't accompany you. Later, I will have someone take you to the Mu Family."
"Go ahead!"
Qin Feng waved his hand.
He didn't want that sleazy guy to accompany him anyway.
Su Ruolan came over.
Her eyes still filled with surprise and confusion.
But she was a clever person; seeing Qin Feng sending Lord Dog away, she knew he did not want to reveal too much and she stopped asking.
Qin Feng gave a wry smile and said, "Sorry, there are some things I can't tell you. It's for your own good."
If she came to know.
And if she carelessly let something slip one day, it would make her a target for all.
"It doesn't matter."
A curve formed on the corners of Su Ruolan's mouth.
She didn't care in the slightest.
With Qin Feng's explanation, she felt like she mattered to him.
And he said it was for her good.
On that thought.
Does it mean he cares for her?
With this thought, her heart felt inexplicably joyful.
The two continued on their way to the black market.
Dragon Mountain Black Market.
Only a dozen or so miles away from Dragon Mountain Town.
To the north, east, and west were three connected shop buildings, and to the south was the main gate, encircling a large plaza.
The overall appearance and layout was somewhat reminiscent of the old fortresses.
Like the antique city, not many people visit the black market, but those who do are usually wealthy.
Outside the main gate, there were also some stalls.
They were all selling some antique jade and low-level exotic treasures, such as the "Mandarin Duck Fragrance" that Chen Hao bought for eighty thousand, which cannot be produced in the market, but is only circulated in Black Stone.
Qin Feng was not interested in these and headed for the main gate with Su Ruolan.
The plaza was also full of stalls, selling herbs, jade, jewelry, weapons, and so on—dazzling and eye-catching.
"Look, this necklace is just like the Wolf Tooth Necklace Xue'er had before."
Su Ruolan said at a stall.
During a recent adventure to Nine Dragons Mountain, she saw Lin Xue'er wearing it, which had the effects of repelling mosquitos and deterring tigers and wolves.
Then she looked at the price tag.
Valued at eight-hundred thousand.
"So expensive..."
Su Ruolan exclaimed in surprise.
The stall owner hurriedly said with a smile, "Miss, it's not expensive at all. Look, this Bodhi Bracelet next to it is twice as expensive as the Wolf Tooth Necklace, priced at one million six-hundred thousand. Of course, the effects are much better."
Su Ruolan picked up the bracelet to take a closer look and indeed felt a strange aura.
But one million six-hundred thousand.
For her, a frugal person, it was indeed a heavy price.
Just about to put it down, the stall owner continued, "This bracelet is called 'Sun God,' and there is another called 'Moon God,' which makes a perfect pair. If you're buying, you should wear the 'Moon God.'"
"A pair?"
Su Ruolan paused for a moment and then pulled out a bank card, saying, "Then I'll take the pair!"
Seeing this, the stall owner said with a smile, "Young lady, are you thinking of buying it for your beloved? Hehe, your beloved will surely be happy."
"I…I don't have a beloved..."
Su Ruolan's face flushed as she quickly lowered her head and walked away.
Not far away.
A man who appeared to be a graceful young master, his greedy eyes fixed on her without blinking, curved into a sly smile, and said, "Never seen this chick before, fresh catch..."
