Chapter 55 - Healed
“Come and take a look! Are you satisfied with these?” Zu Dexi asked, pointing at the items laid out on the ground.
A variety of items were displayed before Li Huowang. Most of them were rusted swords, while the rest were stored in vials.
“What the? All of these are rusted. They are nothing but scrap metal,” Puppy said as he knelt down, inspected the items, and started haggling with the man.
“You can still use them after you polish them a little. Do you think I would have the chance to obtain superior quality weapons out here?” the man asked.
On the other hand, Li Huowang did not pay much attention to the swords; instead, his focus was on the vials. He knelt down and inspected them but found that nothing was written on them. Emerging from n0v@lbin☆, this material harbors clandestine details.
“The Taoist surely knows his goods. To think that you would understand the value of such quality items,” praised Zu Dexi.
While Zu Dexi was kneeling beside Li Huowang, and was somewhat repulsed by the smell of blood and smoke from his robes, he was not afraid. On the contrary, he was excited.
“Taoist, that’s something really nice. It’s a poison called Half-step. Put some of it in a person’s water, and they will die in the time it would take for them to take just a half step. I’m selling it cheap for three pieces of silver per bottle.”
“Oh! You have quite discerning eyes! That’s something really good as well. It’s called the Red Crane. You only need an amount the size of your fingernail to send someone straight to hell. Five pieces of silver per bottle.”
“This is something even more amazing!! You only need to take one of these pills, and you would be able to handle two women in one night! This was something that was custom made for Second Head Liu of Wolf’s Head Mountain. However, I can sell it to you for an extra fee.”
Hearing Zu Dexi go on and on about his wares, Li Huowang stood up impatiently. “Just about everything seems to be a treasure in your eyes. Fine, I want the first two items. Puppy, bring the money from the cart.”
“Taoist, you are quite generous!” Zu Dexi was smiling so hard that his eyes had become thin slits. “Are you sure you don’t want this too? I can make it cheaper for you. Even if you don’t use it now, you might want to use it when you are older. It’s definitely something good to have, considering that it helps you extend your family’s bloodline.”
Li Huowang didn’t bother to give him a reply, instead turning to his group. “You guys, choose some weapons you like. Having one is better than having none.”
In the meantime, the wound on Li Huowang’s neck slowly healed.
Standing next to a jar of water, Li Huowang checked his neck using the surface of the water as a mirror and saw that there was a visible scar on his neck.
“It’s not too bad. If I lower my head, it isn’t too obvious,” said Li Huowang as he turned and looked toward Bai Lingmiao, who had her white hands massaging her temples.
“Why the long face? Did something unfortunate happen?” asked Li Huowang.
“Senior Li, we just purchased some food for us and the donkeys earlier. Now, we are left with only one piece of silver and 345 coins,” said Bai Lingmiao.
“That little? You are kidding.” Li Huowang walked out from a temporary farmhouse they were staying in and approached the Lu family’s stage.
“All that money was supposed to last longer, but ever since everyone started practicing with their weapons, everyone has been so famished that they have been eating too much. Simpleton even eats an entire kilogram of noodles per meal! That’s two kilograms per day if we eat two meals!” explained Bai Lingmiao.
“But that practice is not rubbish. Since we bought those weapons, we must practice using them. At the very least, they must learn how to slash and stab with them,” said Li Huowang.
Even if it was only a simple swing, there was a large difference between someone who practiced every day and someone who just carried it around. At the very least, their chances of victory would increase if they were to lace their swords with poison before fighting an enemy.
Li Huowang stared at the group of people helping the Lu family disassemble the stage.
“We only have enough money for one more month. After that, we will have to starve,” said Bai Lingmiao.
“So the problem is that we don’t have enough money, huh?” remarked Li Huowang.
Li Huowang rubbed his chin and looked at the Lu family.
They probably earned a lot of money throughout this journey. I can just take it from them, and then all our problems would be solved.
Just as he had this thought, he stopped himself. How could he have such thoughts? Lu Zhuangyuan might be cunning, but he was still an honest man trying to make a living. How could he think about taking the money from him?
Li Huowang’s mood instantly dropped.
