Immortality Martial Arts: I Started with the Five Animals Health Fist
Chapter 273: Profound Mastery of Alchemy! The Storm Rises!_3“`
“Don’t kill me… I was blinded by greed… Spare me!”
“I’ll give you all the silver on me! Sir Bull, spare my life!”
Both martial artists in the Qi-Blood Realm had been easily slain, leaving the rest pleading for mercy, not daring to move an inch, some even fell to their knees on the ground.
Filled with regret, they could hardly imagine that the Bull-man would be so powerful.
“Too late!”
But Su Changkong showed no mercy at all. These people now begging pitifully for their lives would have devoured him like sharks or wolves had he been weaker.
With repeated strikes, in just a moment, the forest was littered with over a dozen more corpses.
“Dead… Are they all dead?”
From a distance, some martial artists who had come to see the excitement heard the dying screams and smelled the blood in the wind. Their faces changed, and they stopped in their tracks, not daring to come any closer, lest they be misunderstood.“Boring.”
In the forest, Su Changkong shook his head. He was no longer the inexperienced youth he once was. These people with ill-intentions were not even enough to warm him up!
Effortlessly, Su Changkong swiftly searched the bodies of the ten-plus ill-intentioned attackers and gathered their possessions, which amounted to tens of thousands of taels of silver in total.
After finishing this, Su Changkong did not linger and his figure vanished into the forest.
Su Changkong believed that the deaths of these ten-plus people would deter others with malicious intentions. The next time he sold Qi-Blood Pills at the Ghost Market, nobody would dare target him again!
Returning to Dafeng State City with over a million taels in silver notes, Su Changkong continued his usual routine of buying pill medicine ingredients from different shops in various disguises and resumed his alchemy.
And Su Changkong did not forget the trading appointment he had arranged with the man in the sheep face mask.
Three days later, Su Changkong went to the agreed-upon trading location, Big Wind Ridge, a desolate mountain range within the territory of Dafeng State.
This time, Su Changkong took weapons with him. Being cautious was never wrong. It was possible that the man in the sheep face mask had no intention of trading sincerely and instead planned to ambush him at this place, robbing him of his possessions!
Upon reaching Big Wind Ridge, Su Changkong waited quietly on the branches of a large tree.
“They’re here!” As dusk fell, Su Changkong’s gaze sharpened. At the entrance of Big Wind Ridge, about five or six people walked along the mountain road and entered.
The leader was the man in the sheep face mask!
The other five, each armed and wearing black clothes with masks on, kept their true faces and identities hidden.
The man in the sheep face mask and the others were very cautious, constantly scanning the surroundings. It was clear that this wasn’t their first time trading, and they knew that transactions involving such valuable items could easily provoke malicious intentions, so they were on guard.
“Let’s go down.”
After observing from the tree, Su Changkong finally leaped down.
Su Changkong made no attempt to hide his presence or movements. As he jumped from the tree, the man in the sheep face mask and his companions all looked over simultaneously, spotting Su Changkong dressed in a black robe and donning an Ape mask.
“That’s him, the buyer of the Star Pattern Gold,” the man in the sheep face mask said with respect to one of the five men in the middle.
The person was very cautious, completely shrouded in a black robe, with a black cloth wrapped around his head, not a single hair exposed, and a bronze mask on his face that only revealed his eyes.
“He’s a master.” But Su Changkong could feel that the man in the bronze mask was no ordinary person. Standing there, he seemed to blend with the surrounding forest and the land, definitely a master with considerable strength!
And the man in the bronze mask also sized up Su Changkong, a trace of seriousness flashing in his eyes: “Has this person practiced some martial arts that hide his presence? Not a trace of his aura is leaking, making it hard to gauge his depth!”
After a few breaths, the man in the bronze mask spoke politely: “You may call me Green Face, may I know how to address you?”
Green Face, a name that clearly indicated a fabricated identity. Everyone had their reservations and wouldn’t trade under their real names.
“Ape Demon.” Su Changkong responded with an improvised name, as everyone tacitly understood the unspoken rule.
“So, Brother Ape Demon, you wish to buy Star Pattern Gold?” the man in the bronze mask asked.
“Yes, have you brought the goods?” Su Changkong nodded.
The man in the bronze mask gave a meaningful look to the man in the sheep face mask, who understood and nodded in return.
He carried a box and, to avoid any misunderstanding with Su Changkong, opened it from a distance.
Inside the wooden box were chunks of metal, unique in that they were silver-white and had luminous white lines like starlight, adding to their beauty and making them even more magnificent than jewels.
That was the Star Pattern Gold, truly worth its weight in gold. One tael of Star Pattern Gold could fetch the exorbitant price of ten thousand taels of silver—an amount beyond the imagination of ordinary folks!
The man in the sheep face mask said to Su Changkong: “There’s a total of three pounds, as per our agreement, at 12,000 taels of silver per tael, making it 360,000 taels of silver in total.”
“May I inspect it?” Su Changkong made his request.
“Of course,” said the man in the bronze mask.
The man in the sheep face mask brought the wooden box to Su Changkong, and Su Changkong picked up a piece the size of his thumb to examine.
The man in the bronze mask and his companions appeared relaxed, but they were all locked in on Su Changkong’s every move. If he made any other move, they were certain to strike at once!
Su Changkong had actually never seen Star Pattern Gold before, but the verification method was simple. He took a piece of Star Pattern Gold in his hand, tightened his fingers, and exerted force to squeeze.
