Chapter 121: Chapter 77: Bisecting Skulls on Twin Peaks! Giant Whale Gang!_2

“Let’s see if there’s any loot.”

Su Changkong then proceeded to search the bodies scattered on the ground.

The white-clothed female assassin boarded the ship and swiftly killed eight or nine people; most of whom were guests attending the Ghost Market trade and should have had a decent amount of assets on them—something not to be missed!

The others watched strangely as Su Changkong skillfully rifled through the corpses; his movements were very practiced. Having witnessed Su Changkong’s terrifying strength, naturally, no one dared to intervene, rob, or even gossip.

“A total of 12,000 taels of silver!”

Su Changkong was overjoyed, purely because the haul was so substantial; from those guests killed by the white-clothed assassin, he had altogether found silver notes worth over ten thousand taels!

Furthermore, the few bottles of Vivid Qi Pill that Su Changkong had sold earlier were back in his possession from those same bodies.

“If that woman hadn’t attacked me first… perhaps the haul would have been even greater.”

Su Changkong looked around, sending shivers down the spines of everyone on the ship, who involuntarily backed away quite a distance, fearful of provoking this unknown harbinger of doom.

The ship wasn’t far from the shore, and it took only a quarter of an hour to dock; everyone fled the vessel as if escaping, leaving the bay behind.

For them, attending the Ghost Market that night nearly brought them fatal trouble, and they believed it would be a long time before they dared approach this bay again.

Su Changkong disembarked and also left, heading back to Ink Forest Prefecture City.

“Demon Monsters… they really do exist in this world! The most powerful Demon Monsters, as the rumors say, control various sinister Demon Arts. If that white-clothed woman was truly a Demon Monster, I wonder how she would rank amongst them.”

The night’s events left Su Changkong’s mind unsettled for a long time.

In the past, living in Black Iron Manor was just a corner of the Great Flame Empire. The outside world indeed contained many things he had never seen.

“Who cares about Demon Monsters or ghosts! If I strengthen myself, I can crush them all to pieces!”

Afterwards, Su Changkong didn’t think too much of it; strengthening himself was the key!

Su Changkong returned to Ink Forest Prefecture City, and time moved on to the next morning. The sun rose as usual, ushering in a new day.

Within the manor, Su Changkong got up early and practiced the Five Animal Frolics, as was his routine. He mused, “I made 15,000 taels of silver yesterday, which temporarily solves my pressing needs. I can use this money to purchase medicinal ingredients from Wanling Pavilion and continue with Alchemy. Perhaps once my Alchemy skills further improve, I can balance my income and have the confidence to earn money by helping others make Pill Medicines.”

Idleness leads to ruin, and Su Changkong felt that Alchemy was a good path to making money. If his skills in Alchemy reached a higher realm and he gained a certain reputation, then customers would surely come to him just like they do for Sun Yiyear of Precious Pill Residence!

Therefore, the money he gained from this trip to the Ghost Market made Su Changkong decide to reinvest in improving his Alchemy. A high realm would undoubtedly serve as a money-making tool.

Su Changkong glanced at the sky and after dressing up, he once again headed to Wanling Pavilion as ‘Mr. Li’.

At Wanling Pavilion, Su Changkong met with Wan Xun.

“Mr. Li, there might be some good news for you.”

In the private room on the second floor of Wanling Pavilion, upon seeing Su Changkong, Wan Xun greeted him with a smile.

“Good news? What kind?” Su Changkong asked, puzzled.

“The Pill Medicines previously sold by Mr. Li, were they concocted by you personally?” Wan Xun inquired.

Su Changkong considered briefly, knowing that after buying so many medicinal ingredients from Wanling Pavilion and selling Vivid Qi Pills, Wan Xun must be aware that the materials were for Alchemy.

However, Su Changkong shook his head: “Those Pill Medicines were made by a friend I met some time ago; I’m just selling them on his behalf. But Mr. Wan, what is this good news you mentioned?”

Su Changkong didn’t explicitly admit that the Pill Medicines were his own creations, but he was curious about the good news Wan Xun mentioned.

Wan Xun spoke mysteriously, “Recently, a distinguished guest of Wanling Pavilion came to visit. He wanted me to recommend an Alchemist, presumably to hire one for Pill Medicine making. I thought of Mr. Li, so I told him about an Alchemist I know… Would your friend who knows Alchemy be interested in meeting this distinguished guest? This could be an opportunity!”

Upon hearing this, Su Changkong was somewhat surprised. Someone was seeking the help of Wan Xun to find an Alchemist, and Wan Xun thought of Su Changkong, who came to sell Pill Medicines, and hence recommended him.

This caused Su Changkong to frown and wonder, “My friend’s Alchemy skills certainly can’t compare to those of some well-established Alchemists. Why would he want to find my friend?”

This was Su Changkong’s point of confusion: Wan Xun’s aforementioned distinguished guest, if seeking someone for Alchemy, would naturally look for an experienced Alchemist, not someone with an uncertain success rate.

Wan Xun shook his head: “That distinguished guest is quite interested in Mr. Li’s friend. I’m not too clear on the specifics. Would you arrange a meeting for the two parties to discuss?”

After some thought, Su Changkong considered that if someone truly commissioned him for Alchemy, it would undoubtedly be good news!

Not to mention the money, making Pill Medicines for others could also accumulate experience and improve his own Alchemy skills. Whether it worked out or not, it was worth meeting for a chat to understand the details.

So Su Changkong nodded, “My friend lives in the Green Bamboo Manor in the western district of the city. If Mr. Wan’s distinguished guest has the time, he is welcome to visit.”

“I will relay the message to him. He should still be resting in Ink Forest Prefecture City.”

Wan Xun agreed, since both parties were esteemed guests of Wanling Pavilion, his facilitating their introduction could help build relationships.

Thus, Su Changkong altered his plans and returned to the manor, quietly awaiting the visit..
