Fighting Against the Wind begins with the Dragon Flame

Chapter 88 Po Zong Dan

Chapter 88 Po Zong Dan

“Cough cough~”

Lin Yang coughed twice, then a smile appeared on his calm face, and he said attentively:
“The materials for the Soul-Enriching Pill have been prepared and will be delivered in a few days. Then, I will have to trouble you, Mr. Yao, to refine it.”

“You kid, if you have anything else to say, just tell me. Don’t think I don’t know what you are thinking.”

Yao Lao rolled his eyes. The Soul-Enriching Pill was something that had already been agreed upon. If that was the only thing, Lin Yang would never have been so polite to him.

I get angry when I think of Yao Chen. This kid is always ruining his own business. He has been wandering alone for so long, so what if he wants to talk to a kid? He always ruins his own business!
“Ahem~ As expected, I can’t hide it from you, who is so knowledgeable and insightful. I do have an unwelcome request. I have three batches of materials for Po Zong Dan, and I would like to trouble Mr. Yao to help me refine them.”

Seeing that he couldn’t hide it from Yao Lao, Lin Yang met his questioning gaze, but his voice became smaller and smaller, only because of the sudden change in Yao Lao’s expression opposite him.

“You kid, you think I’m a pill-making machine? Three portions of Po Zong Dan? I can die after you finish refining them!”

Yao Lao’s soul was fluctuating violently, and the white cold fire of the bone spirit surrounded his body. He said with a glare and puffed his beard, “This kid in front of him really doesn’t regard him as a human being!”

In my current state, refining the Soul-Nourishing Pill should be no problem, but if I were to refine three portions of the peak sixth-grade Po Zong Pills, my soul power would probably be almost exhausted if I were to finish refining them all!
But then he changed his mind and said again: “Unless you take out a few soul-nourishing bamboo plants as a reward, don’t even think about it! No way!”

“Three soul-nourishing herbs comparable to soul-nourishing bamboo!”

Facing the furious Yao Lao, Lin Yang knew he was in the wrong, so he raised three fingers and gave his chips.

“What do you want? Three portions of level 5 or 6 soul nourishing herbs to refine three sect-breaking pills for you? Look who on the mainland would care about you? You need at least ten portions!”

Yao Lao looked down on him and spoke coldly.

Just for three soul-nourishing herbs, you expect him, the continent’s number one alchemist, to take action. That’s wishful thinking!

“No, Mr. Yao, we have to be realistic! In this corner of the northwest continent of the Jiama Empire, where can I find ten soul-nourishing herbs for you? Five at most. I’ve already emptied my family’s nest egg! I can’t have more if you want!”

Lin Yang’s face was full of black lines. Yao Lao was really asking for too much. Soul-nourishing herbs were rare, and there were no way they could have so many in the corners of the Douqi Continent of the Jia Ma Empire.

“Since it’s really hard to find, deal.”

Seeing Lin Yang’s speechless face, General Yao agreed hesitantly.

With the supply from the Soul-Nourishing Bamboo, in his current state, although the consumption of refining three Sect-Breaking Pills is not small, he can make up for it by consuming two herbs at most.

Now that he could extort a few more plants from Lin Yang, he was naturally very happy.

“Well, once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back! Mr. Yao is also a well-known figure, so you can’t go back on your word!”

Lin Yang clapped his hands, a smile suddenly spread across his face, and the speechless expression he had just had disappeared completely.

As luck would have it, there were twelve soul-nourishing herbs in the collections of Jia Xingtian, Fa Ma and Yunshan.

I was thinking that I needed to talk more with Yao Lao, but I didn’t expect that I would succeed with just five strains. With the remaining seven strains, I can make Yao Lao my slave a few more times.

I hope that when the herbs are delivered in a while, Yao Lao will not regret it when he finds that there are twelve herbs among them.

“I knew it. You really stole my herbs! But I don’t care about just one or two plants! Since I promised, I will never regret it!”

Seeing Lin Yang’s expression change so much, Yao Lao also came to his senses. His chest heaved violently, but he still didn’t have the nerve to break the contract.

“Good! Mr. Yao is indeed a man who keeps his promises, as the ancients said…”

While Lin Yang was praising Yao Chen with ancient Chinese from his previous life, he was muttering in his heart:

“I’m such a kind person, how could I possibly embezzle other people’s benefits for one or two soul-nourishing herbs? That would mean I’d have stolen seven of them from you! I hope you don’t think of hitting me when the time comes.” Yao Lao was also extremely comfortable with Lin Yang’s flattery. His entire soul began to fluctuate slightly, enjoying this rare moment.

Lin Yang is a guy who won’t do anything until he gets the chance. It’s hard to hear a good word from him.

The continuous high-level compliments made Yao Lao very happy, and he even had thoughts like “It would be nice to exchange one or two herbs for a few good words from this guy.”

“Ahem, stop it, kid! Is there anything else? If not, I’ll go back first. Call me when the herbs are delivered!”

After a long time, Yao Lao couldn’t stand Lin Yang’s flattery anymore, his body turned into a ball of smoke, and he prepared to return to the Bone Inflammation Ring to hide.

He really couldn’t bear it. In Lin Yang’s words, he was already a saint with supreme virtue. Yao Lao had done many sinister things when he was young, so his face turned red when he heard it.

“Ahem, Mr. Yao, don’t be in such a hurry to leave!”

Seeing that Yao Lao was about to run away, Lin Yang tried to stop him, fearing that he would ignore him again.

“What’s the matter?”

Seeing Lin Yang looking for him again, Yao Chen’s face froze. Then he reacted and asked belatedly.

With your personality, how could you keep flattering me for so long? So you have something else to say, right?

“I am not very talented, I have only studied alchemy, and I will soon switch to practicing martial arts. It is not suitable for me to practice recently, and it will take a few days to refine the herbs for the Soul-Enriching Pill. Can you please give me some advice, Mr. Yao?”

Lin Yang said shamelessly that he had been praising Yao Lao for so long, how could it be just because of that little bit of Zong Dan, which he didn’t want to use.

“You are still practicing alchemy? What level are you at?”

When the topic came to the alchemy that he was best at, Yao Lao held his head high, glanced at Lin Yang, and asked with some disdain.

“Cough cough~”

Lin Yang cleared his throat first, then raised two fingers and said unconfidently: “Only second rank.”

“Wait, a Dou Wang-level second-grade alchemist, are you trying to make me laugh to death? Also, you want me to teach you a mere second-grade alchemy technique?”

Yao Lao almost couldn’t catch his breath and spoke in a mocking tone.

Dou Wang and a second-grade alchemist, what kind of weird combination is this? And this kid actually expects me, an eighth-grade alchemist, to teach him the second-grade alchemy technique?

“Come to think of it, I haven’t told you my age yet, Master Yao. I’m only sixteen years old, and I broke through to the Douzhe level at the age of thirteen. I’m all alone, so how can I have so much energy to study alchemy and practice Dou Qi at the same time?”

Lin Yang said this calmly, but his words were immediately refuted by Yao Lao.

“A sixteen-year-old Dou Wang is a genius, but if he were placed in Zhongzhou, he wouldn’t be considered a true top-notch monster. I’ve even seen Dou Huangs who were in their teens.”

“You may not know that Dou Qi cultivation progresses fastest when one is young. Most people reach the highest level that their talent can reach before half of their lifespan has passed. They have no hope of breaking through to a higher level in the rest of their lives, etc.?”

Facing Lin Yang’s arrogance, Yao Lao spoke eloquently, one sentence after another.

He knew that Lin Yang must be extremely satisfied with his current cultivation level, and that a complacent person would not go far, so he had long wanted to strike him down, and now he had finally found the opportunity.

However, Yao Lao suddenly came to his senses as he was talking. His face changed and he shouted, “You said you only broke through to the Fighter level at the age of thirteen?”
