Douluo Continent: I came from Demon Slayer!

Chapter 87 Xue Qinghe's Summoning

A month later.

Early in the morning, the entrance to Ye's Pharmacy in the West Market of Tiandou City was already in an uproar.

A long queue snaked out from the shop entrance and stretched all the way to the end of the alley.

The place was packed with people, and the noise was deafening, turning what should have been a quiet pharmacy into a bustling market.

"Don't push, don't push, everyone please line up!"

The pharmacy worker shouted at the top of his lungs until his voice was almost hoarse.

Behind them were other pharmacy staff, some collecting money, others dispensing medication, all in an orderly and efficient manner, without being chaotic.

"Do you still have any 'Resurrection' cigarettes? Give me ten!"

"My esteemed Soul Master, this pharmacy limits purchases to two per person!"

"Two is fine, hurry up, here's the money."

Before he finished speaking, a bag of gold soul coins slammed onto the counter with a loud bang.

The clerk behind the counter was used to this. After counting the gold coins, another clerk quickly took out two pre-prepared resurrection potions and handed them over.

At the end of the line, a burly man with a bloodthirsty aura peered ahead on tiptoe, cursing under his breath, "This is fucking weird! I rushed here before dawn, and I'm still this far back in line? By the time it's my turn, it'll be too late."

"From the Soul Hunter Guild, right?" A tall, thin man next to him chuckled. "Buying Soul Burning Souls?"

The burly man turned his head and glared at him: "How did you know?"

"Judging by your bloody aura, you must have just finished hunting souls."

The tall, thin man leaned forward and gestured angrily with his chin. "Soul Burner sells slowly; from your spot, you might be able to snag a couple of bottles."

The burly man's eyes lit up: "Really?"

The tall, thin man chuckled, "See? Nine out of ten people here are buying Soul Return items. They're all going to the Great Soul Arena to fight. Soul Burning is something only people from your Soul Hunting Group like."

"That's right," the burly man spat, "It's a life-saving thing. I was thinking of keeping a couple more, but those bastards were getting ruthless."

"You've tried it? It doesn't look like it," the tall, thin man squinted. "I heard that using Soul Burn leaves you weak for at least three days."

"Hey, we were just unlucky," the burly man said, a hint of lingering fear in his eyes. "We only wanted a hundred-year-old soul beast, but we ended up getting targeted by a thousand-year-old soul beast."

"Luckily, one of the guys in our group had a bottle on hand, and he managed to stall for a few more minutes, otherwise we would all have been done for."

The tall, thin man's eyes widened: "A thousand-year-old soul beast? Is Soul Burning really that powerful?"

"Who says otherwise? My little brother is only level 21, but with one Soul-Burning Needle, he can face a three-ring Soul Master head-on within ten minutes!"

The burly man became more and more excited as he spoke, gesturing with his hands as he went. "He was unleashing those soul skills like they were free, one after another, their power was so great it made our eyes pop out."

"So I thought I'd hurry up and buy a couple more bottles as soon as I got back."

Seemingly remembering something, the burly man said with slight dissatisfaction, "It's just that the price is a bit expensive. One Soul Burning Potion costs three hundred gold soul coins, which is fifteen times more expensive than the Soul Returning Potion."

.

"If something that can save your life isn't expensive, would you dare use it?"

The burly man thought for a moment and nodded: "Indeed."

Even if the price is a drop in soul power level and three days of weakness, what's the point of having soul power level if you're dead?

And similar scenes are not limited to Tiandou City; basically, all the Ye family pharmacies in major cities are experiencing similar occurrences.

Although the Soul-Burning Potion and the Soul-Returning Potion are only officially available for sale today.

But even before that, the Ye family had already sent people to sell it sporadically in the Great Soul Arena, Soul Hunting Town, and even within the Soul Hunting Group.

Furthermore, the quantity of the medicine was strictly controlled, and the release date was only officially announced after the reputation of these medicines had gradually spread to a certain extent.

That's why we have this scene today.

It's clear that the Ye family has mastered the art of scarcity marketing.

Once the initial hype subsides, potion sales will inevitably decline, but it will be enough to pave the way for the entire low-end Soul Master potion market.

The Ye family's goal is clear: from now on, every Soul Master who goes to the Great Soul Arena to fight will receive a Soul Returning Potion.

Every Soul Hunting Team that goes out to hunt souls must carry Soul Burning Potions with them.

These two potions should become indispensable daily necessities for every low-level Soul Master.

With the potion's popularity, a new batch of medicinal herbs has been expedited and delivered to the Butterfly House.

Lin Yang recruited some caregivers to do odd jobs such as cleaning and sorting herbs, while Milan took over the daily affairs.

Milan was the oldest of the four girls that Keynes sent over.

He is calm and honest.

Catherine was focused on studying medicine and wasn't very enthusiastic about management.

Ye Lengling was the same.

Lin Yang, needless to say, only came over every day to check on some patients that Catherine couldn't handle; otherwise, he was a hands-off manager.

Milan perfectly filled the gap that Butterfly House had in this regard.

The other three girls also had their own roles:

The youngest, Mai Sui, learns from Catherine, while Eileen and Xiao Kui serve as nurses, handling logistics and patient care.

Although the Butterfly House is small, it now has the appearance of a considerable size.

During this month, Lin Yang's cultivation level steadily broke through to level thirty-five.

Dugu Yan's Dragon Breathing technique has already reached the "normal level," and she is not too far from the next breakthrough.

Yu Tianheng, perhaps inspired by Lin Yang and Dugu Yan, also broke through to level 30 a few days ago.

He has already followed Qin Ming to Sunset Forest to search for the third soul ring.

Now, apart from Ye Lengleng, everyone else in the entire reserve force has become a Soul Master.

That day, just after Lin Yang finished class, a teacher rushed over, looking quite serious.

"Lin Yang!" the teacher called out to him from afar.

"teacher?"

Lin Yang stopped and turned to look.

"Quickly, go to the Education Commission building. Three officials from the Education Commission have sent word that His Highness the Crown Prince wishes to see you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yang's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm and nodded, saying, "I'll go now. Thank you for your trouble, teacher."

After the teacher left, Dugu Yan frowned and asked in a low voice, "What did the Crown Prince want with you?"

Lin Yang pondered for a few seconds, then slowly shook his head. "It's nothing more than trying to win them over; there's no need to worry too much, after all, the three education commissioners are still here."

Others may not know, but doesn't he understand?

The current Crown Prince of Heaven Dou, Xue Qinghe, has long been secretly replaced by Qian Renxue, the young master of the Spirit Hall.

Over the years, as the crown prince, she navigated the court, quietly eliminating her rivals, while other princes suffered accidents or died one after another.

Now, the only legitimate bloodline of the Heavenly Dou royal family is a "spoiled brat"—the Fourth Prince Xue Beng.

If the old emperor still had any doubts, the fourth prince would probably have already "accidentally fallen into the water".

After all, princes are known to dissolve easily in water!

Qian Renxue had painstakingly planned for many years, all she wanted was to seize the Heaven Dou Empire without bloodshed and help that woman complete the Spirit Hall's unification of the empire.

Of course, Lin Yang didn't care about the various power struggles between the royal family and the Spirit Hall, nor did he want to get involved.

As long as it doesn't affect his cultivation, you can do whatever you want.

Lin Yang had anticipated Xue Qinghe's summons.

Not to mention that the three education commissioners are all confidants of the Heavenly Dou Emperor, even the medicines circulating on the market today, if one is determined to investigate and trace their origins, will eventually lead back to him.

So hiding is useless; what's meant to happen will happen.
