Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 595: Buying Herbs



"Big Brother Hu, we have been waiting in this city for four days, but those three people still haven't shown up." One of the demi-humans approached Ye Hu, who was standing on the edge of the city wall.

Ye Hu frowned at that as he was already annoyed because he had not managed to find Zhang Xiaolong [3] and the two women, but unfortunately, he still did not realize that their targets were already in the city. "Big Brother Xiong wants to recruit the male fox into our group, so you can stop complaining and do your duty, or he will punish you."

Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaolong [3] had already entered a herb shop and was exploring the area. He discovered some herbs that were not available in the central area, let alone in the Sky Jade Realm. According to Mei and the system's scans, some of the herbs were quite rare and had extraordinary effects.

"Are you interested in these herbs, young man?" An old male demi-human, who resembled an elephant, questioned him.

Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded to him. "I am interested in all these herbs, especially the Scarlet Moon Herb, the Yin Lotus Seed, and the Phoenix Dew Herb. Do you have a large quantity of these herbs, Senior?"

"Young man, all these herbs are rare and extremely rare herbs, and some of them only grow once every few decades, so their quantity is not much." Zhang Xiaolong [3] was not surprised by the old man's answer. "Even if you search the entire city, you can only find a few of them, and their prices are expensive. Do you want to buy them? I only have about a dozen of each herb, and these are my final stocks."

"What is the total price of all these herbs?"

The old man immediately pulled out a tool to calculate the total price. "One million blue jewels."

'Damn! These herbs are really expensive!' Zhang Xiaolong [3] then spoke to him. "I'll buy them, and I also want to buy every kind of herb you have, Senior."

"Okay, you can wait here while I prepare them." The old man rushed to his warehouse.

[The price of these herbs is indeed expensive, Master. However, you have Lillea by your side, and you have mimicked her plant manipulation, so the two of you can duplicate them.]

'Haha.' Zhang Xiaolong [3] laughed at that. 'That's why I purposely bought all these herbs, and I will ask Lillea to duplicate them. If possible, I will ask her to create new types of herbs from the combination of these herbs so their effects will be even better.'

After Zhang Xiaolong [3] waited for some time, the old man returned with three different storage rings, and he grouped the herbs according to their grades.

After verifying everything, Zhang Xiaolong [3] promptly paid for the herbs and proceeded to explore other shops, where he purchased various types of herbs that were unavailable in the previous shop.

After his business in town was finished, Zhang Xiaolong [3] hurried back to the inn, and the two women had long since woken up from their sleep. "Shall we return to our residence now?"

Zhang Xiaolong [3] sighed softly before replying. "Big Sis Yaolin, the herbs in this city are too expensive, and I don't have many jewels, so I can only buy a few. If you are bored on this island, I can send you and Big Sis Xinyu back first, and I will look for the other herbs myself."

"No!" Shang Yaolin immediately rejected it. "I will be lonely if you are away for too long, and there are many powerful demi-humans on this island, so there's no way I can leave you here alone."

'This woman! She's addicted to having anal sex with me!' Even though he said that Zhang Xiaolong [3] was satisfied because Shang Yaoling would never be able to leave him, so he could use her for his ultimate goal in the future. "What about you, Big Sis Xinyu? Do you want to return to our residence, or do you want to stay on this island with us?"

"We went to this island together, so we have to go home together." Shang Xinyu then asked him. "Do you want to go to the central area again?"

"The central area is the best place to look for herbs, so I want to go there again." Following this, Zhang Xiaolong [3] escorted the two women from the inn before departing the city, and he took them to the central area directly.

After the notification appeared, Zhang Fei [4] immediately returned the demon extermination sword to his body again. He then turned to Orith, Ilsath, and Zilvora, who had just killed their opponents.

"Elion, can you take us to another realm?" Zilvora asked as she approached him. "Even if we don't use our demon power, these demon beasts are still weaker than us, so they are not our opponents."

"I agree with Queen Zilvora, Elion." Ilsath spoke to him as well. "I believe you should take us back to the Azure Sky Realm, where the beasts are much stronger than these demon beasts, allowing us to fight as demon cultivators."

"Haha." Orith laughed as she hugged Zhang Fei [4]. "As for me, I will follow all your plans whether we live in this realm or another realm."

"You are really a pervert, and only sex is in your brain." Zhang Fei [4] spoke as he kneaded Orith's breasts before answering the other two female demons. "Since you two want it that way, I will bring you all to one of the cultivation worlds, and you can fight the beasts there. However, those beasts are much stronger than these demon beasts, and since you've never fought them before, you should exercise caution when practicing there."

"Yes." All of them nodded to him.

"Let's go; we must go to the Black Moon City now."

After arriving in front of the city in a few minutes, Zhang Fei [4] led them into it, with Zilvora walking beside him and the two succubi walking behind them.

As they walked into the city, the wolf demons kept staring at them with eagerness to pounce on them, especially the three female demons. However, none of them dared to move due to the pressure of Zhang Fei [4]'s heavenly fox aura, and they also knew Zilvora's identity.

From his map, Zhang Fei [4] found Gu Tong and Chi Yang in residence at the back end of the city, and both of them were with Alder, the wolf king. As for Yin Tong, he had long known that he had left the city and was alone in another area, but he couldn't care less about him.

Instead, Zhang Fei [4]'s attention was more focused on a green dot far behind the residence, and Tasha's name appeared from the dot. 'That woman should be Alder's daughter, especially since her aura is similar to his.'

A while later, they arrived in front of the residence, and they heard Alder's voice from inside. "Come in."

Zilvora immediately led them into the residence, where Alder was sitting leisurely, and the two former humans from the Sky Jade Realm were standing behind him. Gu Tong and Chi Yan naturally recognized Zhang Fei [4], but they did not say anything and waited for the wolf king's reaction.

"I didn't expect you to become a demon cultivator, Zilvora." Alder then looked at Zhang Fei [4]. "You were the one who taught them to cultivate, right? Did you come here for the two men behind me?"

"Didn't you already know everything, Alder? I can feel that you have been monitoring me since I came to this realm five months ago." The wolf king did not refute Zhang Fei [4], but he was surprised that he could detect his senses. "You're right; I came here for Gu Tong and Chi Yang."

"At first, I thought that many of the demons from this realm would die in that realm, but you brought the phoenix princess to this realm to stop Shang Huaqiang and his people, and you even managed to destroy the portal." Alder then questioned Zhang Fei [4] through a voice transmission. 'How can you be a human and a demon at the same time? Moreover, I can sense your beast aura, so I'm sure that you are also a beast, and I have never met a living being with three identities like you.'

'You're not wrong about that, but I can't give you the answer because I don't know how I could have three identities myself, and I became like this after someone resurrected me from the dead.' Zhang Fei [4]'s last sentence shocked Alder because it was impossible for someone to resurrect someone from the dead. 'I don't know that person's true identity, but she did revive me from the dead. At first, I guessed that she lived in the Xianjin Realm, but I found some clues proving that my guess was wrong.'

'Did the phoenix princess tell you about the upper realms?' Zhang Fei [4] nodded to Alder. 'The Xianjin Realm is indeed the most advanced in the upper realms, but the people there don't have the ability to bring the dead back to life, so that woman is definitely not a person from that realm.' "Since you want to meet them, I will leave you guys alone."

After saying that, Alder immediately left his residence. He also asked the three female demons to accompany him, as he knew they were still unaware of Zhang Fei [4]'s human identity.

"What about our realm? Is the situation safe now?" Chi Yang was the first to inquire.

"The Sky Jade Realm is safe now, but those cultivators from the upper realms have not given up on invading it. However, they won't be able to invade the Sky Jade Realm anytime soon, particularly due to the difficulty of creating a portal that connects the lower and middle realms, giving them ample time to prepare." Zhang Fei [4] immediately told Chi Yang. "Anyway, Old Jinshu is taking care of the desolate sect now, and he is assisted by several elders such as Lin Xintong and Chi Zhiqiang."

"Why isn't Lian Xiang the one taking care of our sect?" Chi Yang asked in confusion. "She is our vice sect master, so she should be the next sect master."

Zhang Fei [4] rubbed his nose. "Lian Xiang is part of my family now, and I have brought her to another realm along with many others."

Chi Yang was stunned for a while after hearing that, especially since he and Lian Xiang had known each other for decades. He was very familiar with her character, so he was really surprised to hear that she was already part of Zhang Fei [4]'s family. "Even though she's quite old, she's still young for cultivators like us, so I think it's good if she can move on with her life and forget about her past."

"Yeah." Zhang Fei [4] then turned to Gu Tong. "Do you want to meet your wife? If you want to meet Xing Mei, I can bring her over. However, she can't stay here for too long, as the demon aura will affect her.

"I miss Xing Mei, but I am a demon now, and I don't want her to become a demon like me." Gu Tong then took off the storage ring on his finger and handed it to Zhang Fei [4]. "Please give it to her and tell her to forget about me. I know she will be disappointed, but I want her to continue her life without me, and she can take care of our son."

"All right, I will tell her about your message, but I will not be responsible for what happens to her after she hears it." Zhang Fei [4] laughed in his heart as he received the storage ring, especially since Gu Tong still didn't know that Gu Zhan had already been eaten to death by Boitata, and Xing Mei was his prisoner now. "By the way, my brother-in-law and Yan Zhixiu also became demons like you two, and they live with me in Lust City in the north. Do you two want to join them or stay in this city?"

Gu Tong and Chi Yang immediately rejected him. "We are indebted to Alder because he saved us from the other demons, and he taught us to be demon cultivators, so we will stay here."

"If you two have decided like that, then I will not force you guys. Since I still have other matters to attend to, I will take my leave now." Zhang Fei [4] hurriedly left the residence to meet Alder and the three female demons outside. "They wish to stay with you, so I will leave them in your care, and I will take my three women away now."

Alder actually wanted to ask Zhang Fei [4] something else, but he immediately dropped his intention. "All right, you can go now, especially since I still have other things to do."

"Yeah." Zhang Fei [4] immediately spoke to the three female demons. "We will return to the tower first to pick up Balena, and I will take the four of you to the other realm afterward."

The three female demons looked delighted by that, and Zhang Fei [4] immediately took them back to the succubi tower. After they picked up Balena, he immediately took them to the northern region of the Sky Jade Realm to train, especially since they were too weak to go to the Nine Stars Realm with their cultivation still in the elementary realm.

Alder himself immediately went to other areas to take care of something, but he kept thinking about something in his mind that was related to his daughter. 'Should I let Tasha go with that kid? If he takes her to the cultivator realms, she can continue her cultivation again. I will first discuss this matter with her, and if she agrees, I will then contact him.'

After he found a suitable location for the three female demons to train, Zhang Fei [4] immediately entered the Yin-Yang Space to meet Xing Mei. He immediately shared his memories of his previous meeting with Gu Tong so she could listen to her husband's words for herself.

After she saw and heard everything, Xing Mei immediately collapsed and cried loudly on the floor. She had lost her son, and her husband had decided not to return to her due to his transformation into a demon. Moreover, she did not have her freedom, especially since Zhang Fei [4] would never free her, making her life truly miserable.

As for Gu Tong's storage ring, Zhang Fei [4] naturally would not hand it over to Xing Mei, and he would use the contents for himself.

Zhang Fei [4] did not bother Xing Mei, allowing her to express her sorrows on her own. He then proceeded to the tube in the middle of the room, which was filled with Yin Qi from the other six female prisoners.

[Are you going to break through now, Master? It's been quite some time since you broke through to the Earth Realm, and your cultivation has long been stable.]

"I only need around 35,000 more Qi to break through, right?"

[Yes, Master. You only need that much Qi, so you don't need to absorb the Yin Qi in this tube, and you only need to complete the other daily quest to break through. Moreover, you might encounter another lightning tribulation, so you won't be able to break through here.]

Zhang Fei [4] nodded in understanding before checking Zhou Meiling and Qian Ying's condition, especially since both of them were still unconscious. The Zhou Princess's soul was still asleep within her soul space, and the female demon was still struggling to recover from the heavy blow she had suffered after her memories returned.

Zhang Fei [4] immediately exited the Yin-Yang Space and looked for a quiet place in the northern region of the Sky Jade Realm to break through. He sat cross-legged on a hill and looked up at the sky, but he deliberately cultivated very slowly because his real body was undergoing the soul challenge.
