Fights Break Sphere: The Fire Rekindles

Chapter 15 Purchase of Medicinal Materials
Under the scorching sun, the earth was like a steamer, with rolling heat waves and unbearable heat. However, in such weather, two figures kept crossing and colliding in the woods, and each collision rolled up the surrounding dead leaves.

"Bang!" The two figures collided fiercely again. This time, both of them tried their best, and the air waves generated formed a strong shock wave. Leaves fell one after another, tree trunks trembled, and even the soil on the ground was stirred up with layers of ripples.

"Brother Xiao Yan's strength has improved too fast. He has already reached the seventh level of Dou Qi. He has also practiced Dou Zhuan Xing Yi to the third level, while Xun'er has only practiced the second level. Coupled with Brother Xiao Yan's terrifying defense and strength, Xun'er's strength of the ninth level of Dou Qi can no longer take advantage of him." Xun'er wiped the sweat from her face and body and said with a smile.

Xun'er's little hands kept moving up and down, creating a faint breeze that blew on her cheeks. Only in this way could she feel a little cooler in this hot summer.

Seeing Xun'er's clothes soaked with sweat, tightly sticking to her skin, making her look even more delicate and beautiful, Xiao Yan's body became even hotter, he took off his long gown and wiped the sweat off his face, and then used the long gown as a towel to wipe the sweat off his body.

"Haha, that's because Xun'er didn't use her full strength. This damn weather is too hot!" Xiao Yan looked up at the sky and felt that the sun in the sky seemed to be much bigger than usual. The scorching sun shone on his body, making him feel even hotter. He reluctantly walked to a stone pier next to a big tree and sat down. He drank a big sip of the sour plum juice prepared by Xun'er in advance, and then he felt a little better.

"Xun'er has really tried her best. But Brother Xiao Yan seems to have become much darker!" Xun'er walked up to Xiao Yan, took a sip of the sour plum juice from Xiao Yan's hand, and then sat on the stone pier to enjoy the cool air. She took out a fan from somewhere and fanned Xiao Yan.

A gust of cool wind blew over, and Xiao Yan felt that the heat on his body had disappeared a lot. He gently took the fan from Xun'er's hand and began to fan her. Xun'er's originally tender face also became darker. Originally, she should have been reading in the cool study room like a young lady, but now she was sparring with him, a grown man, under the scorching sun.

He gently stroked Xun'er's cheek and said distressedly: "Xun'er, you have worked hard in the past five months. Even your face is tanned."

Feeling Xiao Yan's distressed eyes and the cool breeze blowing from him, Xun'er lowered her head and murmured in a low voice: "This is what Xun'er should do. Brother Xiao Yan has it even harder. Not only does he have to spar with her, but he also has to undergo devilish training."

"Why don't you Xun'er practice with me? The weather is too hot. I can just practice on my own." Xiao Yan said calmly.

"No!" Xun'er refused. If she didn't accompany Xiao Yan to practice, Xiao Yan would have to continue the brutal training, and she didn't want Xiao Yan to suffer so much.

Seeing Xun'er's strong reaction, Xiao Yan was slightly stunned. Every time he mentioned it to Xun'er, Xun'er was like this. This made Xiao Yan very puzzled. Isn't it just a competition? Does it need to be so frequent?

Moreover, after such a long time of sparring, his strength has improved rapidly, and he has mastered the fifth level of Qi in Baji Beng. Paiyun Palm can generate fifth level of Qi in one strike, like waves, one wave higher than the other, but he has never used it on Xun'er, so it doesn't matter if they spar less, but seeing Xun'er's objection, Xiao Yan has no choice.

"Brother Xiao Yan, do we still want to spar in the afternoon?" Xun'er pursed her lips and asked softly.

"No, I have to buy some medicinal herbs in the afternoon!" Xiao Yan said with a toothache.

Although the results of the six months of training were very gratifying, the expenses were not small, and one portion of medicinal materials was consumed every month. Each portion of medicinal materials cost 100,000 gold coins, and the 600,000 gold coins given by Xun'er had been spent so far. If it weren't for his father Xiao Zhan's financial support of another 50,000 gold coins, he would have become a complete pauper, but 50,000 gold coins could not buy one portion of medicinal materials.

Is he going to borrow from Xun'er? How shameless is he? How can he keep asking Xun'er for money? It seems that he needs to make money.

"Brother Xiao Yan, are you going to the street to buy things? Xun'er wants to go too!" Xun'er immediately became excited when she heard that Xiao Yan was going to the street.

"Then let's go together! I'll take you to eat something delicious by the way." Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Then Brother Xiao Yan, go back and wait for Xun'er for a while. Xun'er will go back and change her clothes and come to find you after she's done." When Xun'er heard that Xiao Yan was going to take her to the street to eat delicious food, she immediately ran excitedly to change her clothes.

After seeing Xun'er walk away, Xiao Yan said to Yao Lao, "Teacher, I want to get some foundation-building spirit liquid to sell."

"Why don't you continue to ask that little girl for money? After all, that little girl has plenty of money." Yao Lao's voice sounded in Xiao Yan's heart.

"How can I keep asking girls for money? Then I'll have to save my dignity!" Xiao Yan rolled his eyes.

"It's up to you! The subsequent training will cost a lot of gold coins. It's really not appropriate to always borrow money!" Yao Lao said lightly.

After seeing Yao Lao's agreement, Xiao Yan also prepared to go down the mountain. However, Xiao Yan, who knew how long a girl's moment was, naturally walked slowly and was not in a hurry at all. He returned to his room, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and practiced on the bed for a while. Then Xun'er knocked on the door and called him out. When he opened the door, he saw Xun'er's light blue gauze skirt fluttering in the wind, dressed like a fairy waiting for him at the door. Xiao Yan immediately perked up and said jokingly, "Whose fairy has descended to the mortal world?"

When Xun'er heard Xiao Yan's praise, she immediately smiled, walked up to him, took his arm, and said with a smile: "Then, Brother Xiao Yan, are you willing to go shopping with me?"

“I’d be happy to!” Xiao Yan held Xun’er’s arm with his left hand and held up a parasol with his right hand.

Seeing that Xiao Yan was so thoughtful, Xun'er showed her cute dimples on her face and happily pulled Xiao Yan towards the door.

When the two of them met the tribe members, they all came forward to greet them warmly. Because of the competition a few months ago, the young man once again became a cultivation genius in the eyes of the tribe members.

However, Xiao Yan just responded politely. Now, no matter whether it was contempt or praise, it could not cause the slightest fluctuation in his heart.

After leaving Xiao's house and arriving at the main street of Wutan City, it was noon, the hottest time of the day, and most people were eating at home, so there were not many people on the street. The two of them naturally would not go shopping at this time, so Xiao Yan took Xun'er to a restaurant they often visited.

As soon as I entered the restaurant, I felt a little cooler. Although there was no air conditioning in this world, it was not difficult for these merchants to get some ice cubes to cool down. After all, there was ice-attributed fighting spirit in this world, so making ice cubes was easy. There were merchants on the street who specialized in selling ice cubes.

After lunch, the two bought a few popsicles on the street and ate while walking towards the depths of the market town, because only there could they find the medicinal materials needed to refine the foundation-building spiritual liquid.

When they reached the deep end of the market, Xiao Yan casually bought five pieces of purple-leaf orchid grass and bone-washing flowers of relatively low age. After all, he was not using them himself, so he was not so particular. However, there was no such thing as high or low age for magic cores. Even after shopping for a long time, the two of them only bought four wood magic cores.

"Brother Xiao Yan, don't be anxious. We can just walk around for a while. It's still early anyway." Xun'er saw that Xiao Yan was a little anxious and said comfortingly.

"I'm just worried that Xun'er will get sunburned. After all, the weather is so hot." Xiao Yan took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat off Xun'er's face.

Seeing Xiao Yan so considerately wiping her sweat, Xun'er blushed and lowered her head. But she immediately became excited, pointing to the front and said happily: "Brother Xiao Yan, there is another stall in front. I saw that person took out a lot of magic cores. I think there is what Brother Xiao Yan needs."

Xiao Yan looked in the direction Xun'er pointed, and saw that there was indeed a slightly fat merchant dressed as a mercenary. He took out a piece of cloth and spread it on the ground, then took out various goods from the package, including magic cores for sale.

Xiao Yan took Xun'er to the newly opened stall and squatted down to carefully check the various products on it. However, after looking for a long time, he only found earth or water magic cores, but not wood magic cores. Xiao Yan's face showed disappointment.

Seeing Xiao Yan's extraordinary attire, obviously a big customer, the shrewd merchant immediately greeted him warmly: "Customer, please tell me directly if you need anything. I have a lot in this bag, and I will keep it for what you need."

"I need a wood magic core. Do you sell it to me?" Xiao Yan directly stated his needs.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! I just got it not long ago." The merchant hurriedly rummaged in his package, took out a bloody magic core and handed it to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan picked up the magic core and took a look, and found that it was indeed a wood magic core. Although there were some bloodstains on it, it could not block the fragrance of the magic core, and it made him feel relaxed and happy just by smelling it.

"This is the magic core of a first-level magical beast, the Jade Green Lizard. This kind of magical beast has a skin and a hard shell, and is good at defense and counterattack. It is not much inferior to a second-level magical beast. Our mercenary group also paid a huge price to hunt it down by chance, and it also cost the lives of several members. If you want it, give me 800 gold coins!" The vendor introduced it to Xiao Yan. When talking about the lives of several members, a few tears squeezed out of his eyes.

After listening to the vendor's introduction, Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Although this kind of magic beast has strong defense, its attack power is very average. As long as you are willing to spend more time, I think it will not be difficult to kill it."

The vendor did not feel embarrassed after being exposed by Xiao Yan. Instead, he smiled and said, "Haha, this young master is really knowledgeable. However, this kind of magic beast is indeed top-notch among the first-level magic beasts. How about 650 gold coins? After all, we have to eat too."

"Well, forget it, I'll just take the loss! In fact, this magic core is only worth 600 gold coins, but who can blame this damn weather for being so hot!" Xiao Yan said with a little helplessness.
