Chapter 4: Burning Killing Intent

With a sidelong glance, Shen Xing saw that there really was a group of people standing not far from the Pill Pavilion, practicing their punches.

But looking at the distance

Would standing too close get one expelled?

Shen Xing noticed that some people were already looking at him standing at the door. Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally, he walked straight in.

“Guest, you look unfamiliar. Is this your first time here? What would you like?” A young man dressed in silk immediately came over, smiling warmly, as if he didn’t notice the hemp clothing Shen Xing was wearing.

“I need some cultivation pills,” Shen Xing said naturally.

In fact, after walking in, he had already vaguely sensed that his clothes were a bit conspicuous here.

He had seized the opportunity to steal them from an ordinary household.

There was no problem for ordinary people to wear them, but everyone who came here seemed to be a martial artist.

Unfortunately, in Shen Xing’s half-month observation, apart from this place, he hadn’t seen any medicinal herbs that could be used for cultivation at the stalls outside. Occasionally, when herbalists came in with herbs, they also went straight to the Pill Pavilion.

Obviously, in this city, cultivation resources were likely monopolized by this place.

Therefore, Shen Xing had to come!

As long as he could buy cultivation resources that were more effective than the Basic Yuan Liquid, he could break through to the Skin Tempering Realm today. At that time, he would be a true martial artist, and whether on the Academy Home Planet or here, he would be promoted to the “privileged class”.

The shuttle in his mind and the electromagnetic pistol in his arms gave Shen Xing a certain amount of confidence. Anyway, he had to make contact sooner or later, and taking appropriate risks was necessary.

And after he said these words, the smile of the shop assistant in front of him became even brighter.

“Yes, yes, please come this way. We have Blood Spirit Pills, Origin Returning Pills, Hundred Herbs Pills, and even Jade Bone Pills used by Bone Tempering experts. Which one does the guest need?”

As rows of pills were placed in front of Shen Xing.

Apart from the smell of the Blood Spirit Pill, which could make one’s blood surge, the Origin Returning Pill and the Hundred Herbs Pill were both pills rich in Yuan Qi. The Hundred Herbs Pill was obviously a notch stronger than the Origin Returning Pill, and even the surface of the pill was floating with a rich Yuan Qi. As for the Jade Bone Pill, Shen Xing couldn’t see anything, but since it was specifically for Bone Tempering, he couldn’t use it now.

But no matter which one, the effect was definitely far beyond the Basic Yuan Liquid!

Even the simplest Blood Spirit Pill, combined with the Human Federation’s cultivation methods and load suit, would definitely allow him to break through to Skin Tempering today!

Shen Xing suppressed his faint excitement, his eyes sweeping, and suddenly noticed that the shop assistant in front of him was staring at him intently, and his brows furrowed slightly.

While bowing his head to look at the pills, he swept his gaze over the other guests.

He found that some people’s gazes were faintly mocking.

Not good.

Something must be wrong.

Language, behavior, or clothing and disguise?

The first two should not have obvious problems. He had prepared for half a month for this.

Then it should be clothing and disguise.

Yes, his disguise technique was not sophisticated. It was normal to be able to deceive ordinary people but not the keenly observant martial artists. But without doing so, his fair and healthy skin would be even more conspicuous in the crowd.

It seems that the trouble that should not be avoided cannot be avoided.

Shen Xing sighed lightly in his heart, his expression calm, and he had already made a decision.

Pointing to the three kinds of pills except for the Jade Bone Pill, he flipped his hand, and a piece of silver appeared on the counter.

“I’ll take all three of these.”

At this moment, he clearly felt that the shop assistant’s breathing suddenly quickened a lot.

After all, gold and silver had extremely high purchasing power in this world.

As natural, stable metallic elements, silver and gold were natural Yuan Qi conductors and could even store a certain amount of Yuan Qi. In the Human Federation, because materials with stronger Yuan Qi conduction and storage effects had been developed, the prices of gold and silver were not too exaggerated.

But in this world.

Shen Xing personally saw a gorgeously dressed young master use a small silver bean to buy a pretty and charming young girl on the street.

◈◈◈

And the piece he took out was about five taels.

According to the marked prices of these pills, it was enough for him to buy three or four bottles of each!

Conspicuous?

At worst, he would return immediately.

With these pills and hard work, it was enough for him to easily complete the time limit competition of the Body Tempering stage. When his realm and strength were raised, all the current problems would be minor problems!

“Any questions?”

Looking at the stunned shop assistant, Shen Xing asked again, one hand already reaching into his arms, gripping the pistol.

Even so, he didn’t think anyone would make a move in the store.

Doing business, the rules on the surface were the most basic. Otherwise, who would dare to come?

“No, no, please keep it safe, guest.” The shop assistant seemed to come back to his senses and immediately took out ten bottles of pills. He even specially wrapped them in a canvas bag, and his tone seemed to be a bit more respectful.

Shen Xing took it and walked out without looking back.

His heart couldn’t help but beat slightly faster.

The things are in hand, find a place, and return directly!

The old rule was to slip into an unmanned alley. However, just after turning a corner, two burly men were walking towards him in the alley in front of him.

“. . .”

Shen Xing turned his head, and sure enough, there were two more behind him!

The cruelty and brutality of this world were obviously even more exaggerated than he had previously observed.

In that case, there is no point in thinking too much!

Shen Xing stopped, took a deep breath, and his killing intent burned.

“Kid.” A burly man just showed a ferocious expression.

With a soft “poof” sound, his head exploded in a bloody mess. Blood mixed with unknown liquid, and even broken skull fragments, all splashed onto the person beside him.

This sudden change left the other three stunned.

But since Shen Xing had already made a move, he didn’t say a word of nonsense.

“Poof, poof, poof.”

The muzzle of the gun waved, and the soft, easily overlooked sounds continued to ring out. But each sound brought a splash of blood, and there was even the muffled sound of bullets penetrating the body and hitting the wall.

In just a short moment, Shen Xing had already fired repeatedly. The low recoil of the electromagnetic pistol provided him with sufficient accuracy. More importantly, the people of this world had obviously never seen this thing before. With the strength of these few martial artists, they couldn’t react at all and directly turned into four bloody, mangled corpses!

“Stepping into the martial path, life and death battles are inevitable.”

Shen Xing suppressed his discomfort with the bloody scene and forced himself to calm down. After a brief moment of hesitation, he strode forward and reached into the arms of the several people.

After killing people, he couldn’t let go of the spoils of war!

Mainly because one of them had a bulging chest, which was hard to ignore.

Sure enough, Shen Xing directly found two bottles of pills and two books that seemed to be made of cowhide.

“Return!”
