evil tycoon

The following afternoon, Han Ping'an went to the pharmacy on Puziqian Street to purchase several days' worth of blood-tonifying medicine and medicine for cultivating the Yin Wind Mystic Palm.

It cost five taels of silver.

Five taels is not much compared to a net worth of nearly sixty taels.

However, if it weren't for the Yin Essence Blood Jade, even with enough talent, reaching this level would cost at least double one's entire fortune.

Back on Zhengqi Street, Han Ping'an was slightly taken aback when he saw several government officials in their uniforms ahead of him.

Something happened on Zhengqi Street?

He carried the medicine bag and walked quickly away.

A few people were standing in front of a shop on one side of the street, looking around. When they saw Han Ping'an, they smiled and said, "Ping'an, are you going to buy medicine?"

"Buy some medicine for Ming-ge."

"Uncle Yong, what happened?"

Han Ping'an pointed to the constables in front of him.

Uncle Yong muttered, "It seems that some villains have killed several constables from the yamen, and they are currently searching for them."

"But I haven't seen any strangers sneak into our area either."

"Hiss, where did this thug come from? He's so bold."

Han Ping'an was shocked. How dare they kill several government officials? They were incredibly audacious!

The first thing that came to his mind was the out-of-town thug that Gu Ping'an had mentioned yesterday.

"Who knows?"

"Uncle Yong, I'm going back now."

"Okay."

……

At the entrance of the shop, Han Ping'an also encountered several constables.

He was also reminded that if he discovered any unusual individuals recently, he should promptly notify the authorities.

Han Ping'an readily agreed.

As he entered the shop and put down the medicine packet, he frowned and slowly looked towards the backyard.

  [Remember to follow your favorite novels on 101 Reading Website, 0kj.uk, super convenient!]

There was a very faint smell of blood.

Wait, there's still one breath.

Ming is still in the house in the backyard; this person's breathing is different from Ming's.

With Doflamingo's bone-refining level of cultivation...

Han Ping'an's face darkened, and he quietly walked to the shop entrance and looked outside.

The constable had already gone far away.

He took a deep breath and carefully walked backward.

Seeing that Ming's room door was tightly closed, without any sign of being opened, Han Ping'an's eyes flashed, and he suddenly rushed out.

The corner of the backyard wall.

A figure was clinging to the wall, peering out.

at the same time.

The man suddenly turned around and looked.

Eyes facing each other.

An invisible spark collides.

"Kid, shut your mouth if you don't want to die."

Swish!

A low shout came, and the man on the wall darted down, crouching low as he pounced like a cheetah.

Snapped!

The door suddenly slammed shut.

Gu Mingfei darted out, flashing in front of Han Ping'an to block him, coldly staring at the stranger.

The stranger suddenly stopped, his expression turning serious, sensing a strong threat emanating from Gu Ming.

"Where did this scoundrel come from? How dare he cause trouble in my shop?"

"Friend, I mean no harm, I'll be leaving now."

The man slowly backed away.

At this moment, Han Ping'an stepped out from behind Gu Ming, smiled slightly at him, and said, "You come and go as you please, what do you take this place for?"

The man's body stiffened, and a surge of energy welled up within him, causing his heels to lift off the ground.

"My grocery store is a business that's open for business."

"Since you're here, you either need to leave some money for hiding, or you need to buy something."

Gu Ming was slightly taken aback, then patted Han Ping'an on the shoulder with a big smile: "Good lad, you've got business potential."

After saying that, he looked at the other person and smiled, "Friend, don't be nervous, the guest is always welcome."

The man became even more nervous. Why did this place feel like a shady establishment?

However, he could clearly sense that Gu Ming had relaxed completely, seemingly having no intention of making a move at all.

Moreover, those constables outside probably haven't gone far yet.

Besides the yamen runners, there might be two other groups of people...

Oh shit.

"What could a general store possibly have that would be worth my attention..." The man frowned halfway through his sentence.

Yeah, how the hell could a mere general store have a Bone Refining level martial artist?

Moreover, it gives the impression of being a shady business.

Han Ping'an grinned: "A general store, as the name suggests, has a variety of things, but you can find everything."

"Such arrogance."

The man squinted and sneered, "I need armor and crossbows. Do you have any?"

Upon hearing this, Han Ping'an looked at Gu Ming and couldn't help but laugh.

"I can give you the armor now, but you'll have to wait two days for the crossbow."

"I see you're injured. We have medicine for healing wounds in the shop. By the way, would you like some poison?"

"Ming-ge, wait a minute."

Han Ping'an stopped Gu Ming and said to the man, "Sir, you are still a stranger to our shop. We only sell things like armor and crossbows to friends. You will have to pay a friend's fee."

A friend's fee?

Gu Ming rolled his eyes, chuckled, and remained silent.

Let's leave it to Ping An.

The man stared in disbelief: "No way, you really have armored crossbows like that?"

Han Pingan shrugged: "If you don't even have this, what kind of general store are you running?"

"grass."

Seeing that the other person didn't seem to be joking, the man felt a chill run down his spine.

Good heavens, he randomly found a place to hide and stumbled into a shady shop, a place that could even get its hands on and sell this kind of stuff...

The constables outside were just talking to this kid.

The two men showed no sign of intending to deliver a message.

Moreover, this kid looks like he's completely powerless, yet he's fearless and frighteningly calm.

Oh shit.

"A friend's fee, right? Is ten taels enough?"

Han Ping'an said calmly, "There's also a hiding fee of thirty taels. Or you can take a gamble and see if you can get out."

"They dared to kill several constables from the yamen, Ming-ge. You're acquainted with Constable Liang from the yamen. How much of a reward do you think they'd give you if you handed them over?"

"Given his Bone Refining cultivation, he should be given at least fifty taels."

The two men sang in unison, and the man's face turned pale and then green.

A few breaths later.

The man pulled a piece of gold from his pocket and threw it out on the spot.

Swish!

Snapped!

The gold came flying in from nowhere, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound.

Gu Ming remained expressionless, and with lightning speed, he bent his palm and firmly grasped the object.

The man's pupils contracted, and he said quietly, "This piece of gold is worth about forty taels of silver. Is that enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough."

Gu Ming couldn't stop smiling.

Friendship fee, hiding fee, wow, free money!

"Give me some wound medicine first, and I also need a suit of armor, soft armor."

"What kind of poisons do you have here? I need ones that can threaten someone at the Bone Refinement level."

"Also, I want to order a Seven-Strike Repeating Crossbow. Money is negotiable."

The man finished speaking in one breath.

Han Ping'an frowned slightly and looked at Gu Ming suspiciously. What was the Seven Absolute Repeating Crossbow?

Gu Ming rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Everything else is fine, but the Seven-Several Repeating Crossbow? You're dreaming. That thing isn't your average military crossbow. It can be wielded with one hand, and it's small and agile. A Blood Refining martial artist could use it to severely injure someone in the mid-to-late stages of the Bone Refining realm if they were caught off guard. You might not even be able to find one in the entire Jing County."

Even if it were available, you couldn't afford it.

Han Ping'an was shocked when he heard this. Good heavens, this thing is so powerful?

He couldn't help but look at the man opposite him; he had quite an appetite.

The man curled his lip and said, "I thought it was something special since it doesn't even have this place."

"I have a rapid-fire crossbow, do you want it?"

"Rain of Barrage Crossbows?"

"You really have them?"

The man's pupils contracted.

The Rainstorm Repeating Crossbow was also a controlled military crossbow. Although it was not as powerful as the Seven Deadly Repeating Crossbow, it was still incredibly powerful. Moreover, it was smaller and its looser design made it easy to conceal, allowing it to be used when the enemy was not paying attention.

"nonsense."

"Do you want it or not? Let's make it simple."

"How much?"

"As a token of friendship, I'll set the price at two hundred taels."

"make a deal."

"But I don't have enough money right now. I'll come back when I've raised enough." The man looked somewhat embarrassed.

Han Ping'an smiled and said, "No rush. The other shops also buy goods. If you have any rare items, I guarantee you'll get a fair price."

He secretly harbored some anticipation.

This person clearly has shady dealings and is ruthless.

Maybe we'll find some rare items.
