Chapter 53: The Skeleton Bandit Leader

"Hehe, your Ouyang family has a lot of face, but I'm not afraid."

The speaker was nine feet tall, with slender arms, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a little beard. He looked to be in his thirties, and he was already a three-star Dou Ling!

"It's the young master of the Tuoba family."

"General Tuoba holds a heavy army and is a first-class figure in Wuyang County. Naturally, he will not be afraid of the Ouyang family."

Ouyang Shengtian said coldly: "Tuobahan, if you want to bid, please do so. Let me see if your Tuoba family has more money, or my Ouyang family has more money!"

Tuoba smiled coldly: "One hundred and sixty thousand taels of gold!"

Ouyang Shengtian sneered: "170,000 taels of gold!"

The power of the other powerful families is more than a notch lower than these two. Even if they can afford the starting price, they don't have the heart to fight any more. It looks like this, without the 200,000 taels of gold as a base, they can't stop.

Ning Qi looked at Tuo Bahan curiously.

The leader of the skeleton bandits: Tuo Bahan.

Rank: Three Star Fighting Spirit.

Cultivation method: the best ice-cold art of Xuan level.

Martial Skill: Nine flashes of cold light at the highest grade of Xuan rank.

There was a hint of joy in Ning Qi's eyes, and he said to Zhang Long: "Who is this person?"

Zhang Long looked in the direction Ning Qi was pointing at, and immediately said, "It's General Tuoba's son. General Tuoba is General Huben who guards Wuyang County, the five-star fighting king."

No wonder even if the Dou Wang took action, he couldn't catch the skeleton thief. It turns out that black and white take all.

Ning Qi smiled, and already had a plan in mind.

At this time Ouyang Shengtian had already called the price to 210,000 taels of gold, Tuoba smiled coldly, gave up the bid, and the Yangling Pill was taken by Ouyang's family.

This shows that Ning Qi has 21 million taels of silver in his account. If he buys spirit grass at a 20% discount, he can buy 3280 copies!

Nearly three times more than the previous estimate of 1250!

"Tuo Bahan, next time you prepare more silver, so that you can compete against my Ouyang family."

Ouyang Shengtian smiled triumphantly.

Tuo Bahan smiled, and a bright light flashed in his eyes, "Bandits are rampant here, I hope your journey back to Ouyang's house will be smooth sailing, if you encounter skeleton robbers, tsk tsk, be careful that you will lose your life."

Ouyang Shengtian's complexion changed slightly: "You don't need to worry about this. If the skeletons hide their heads and show their tails, if they dare to show up, my Ouyang family can wipe them out. Unlike your Tuoba family, you can't catch them even with heavy soldiers in your hands. Really! a shame."

Tuoba smiled coldly: "I hope so."

At this moment, Ning Qi walked past the two of them, and suddenly turned to Luliu and said, "Girl Luliu, I have a batch of valuable pills to be transported back to the capital in half a month. You have someone prepare them at that time and come out to meet them."

Lu Liu nodded and said: "Okay. But I have to go first, why don't I leave a few guards for you?"

Ning Qi shook his head: "No need, it's not so conspicuous to go into battle lightly, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu are enough."

Luliu: "Young Master Ning, be careful all the way."

While talking, the two passed by Tuo Bahan and Ouyang Shengtian, during which Ning Qi smiled and nodded at them.

Ouyang Shengtian looked at Ning Qi's back, and said with a smile: "This master Ning may refine another batch of nourishing pills, Tuobahan, see you next time in the capital."

"haha okay."

Tuo Bahan looked at Ning Qi's back and smiled.

…………

"Congratulations, Brother Ning, the price of your spirit nourishing pills can be exchanged for a total of 2,625 copies of spirit grass. I'll send someone to pack it for you."

Hai Dafu greeted Ning Qi and Lu Liu with a proud face.

Lu Liu said with a smile: "Elder Hai, you have miscalculated this account."

Hai Dafu was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't realize it. He didn't know that Ning Qi had become the enshrined alchemist of Baicao Hall, and he could get a 20% discount.

After Luliu finished explaining, he was ecstatic. Ning Qi became the enshrined alchemist of Baicaotang, and he also has a contribution. I am afraid that the day of promotion is not far away.

"I'll do the math again, and it's 3,280 spirit herbs in total."

After Hai Dafu calculated the number, he immediately went to organize the spiritual herbs himself.

Not long after, Ning Qi returned to his yard with the spirit grass.

After he left, Lu Liu looked at Aunt Mei: "Aunt Mei, what is the meaning of what Ning Qi asked me to cooperate with him just now? Why can't I figure it out?"

"This kid is clever and weird, maybe he just wanted to attract your attention."

Lu Liu blushed slightly: "Aunt Mei, you are making fun of me again."

Back in the courtyard, Ning Qi went directly to the alchemy room, and Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were guarding outside.

"I have spent a long time in alchemy this time, and you can take turns guarding it."

Ning Qi confessed.

"Yes, Master!"

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu responded.

………

"Boss, Ouyang Shengtian is so arrogant, we must teach him a lesson this time!"

"No need, let him go first, I have a better goal, send someone to watch the alchemist, be careful not to be discovered by others."

"yes!"

………

Sun Zeshi, who had failed to find Ning Qi, returned to Sun's house with a livid face, and bumped into Sun Hong at the door. Sun Hong immediately stepped forward and said, "Patriarch, I have Ning Qi's whereabouts."

Sun Zeshi immediately said: "Where is this son!"

Sun Hong's face was a bit uneasy: "He is in Wuyang County."

"Wuyang County!"

Sun Zeshi was about to fly into the sky, but Sun Hong hurriedly stopped him: "Patriarch, don't worry, this matter has changed. This son is actually a master of alchemy, who can refine the middle-grade yellow spirit cultivation pills. The young owner of Baicao Hall Luliu is also familiar with him!"

"Alchemy Master? Baicao Hall?"

Things changed beyond Sun Zeshi's expectations.

"Patriarch, why don't you ask the old man for instructions and see his attitude?"

Sun Hong suggested cautiously.

"Um!"

Sun Zeshi came to a small courtyard of the Sun family that no one dared to approach without authorization.

"Father!" He bowed outside.

"Come in!" An old voice came from the yard.

Walking into the yard, an old man with gray hair and wearing a green robe was sitting in the gazebo.

Without looking back, he said: "The murderer who killed the mighty, can he get his head back?"

A trace of shame flashed across Sun Zeshi's face: "The child is incompetent!"

"What? You are a dignified fighting king, but you can't do anything with a fighting master?"

The old man turned around slowly, with a hint of anger hidden deep in his indifferent face.

"This son is now in Wuyang County. He is an alchemy master who can refine middle-grade Huang-rank elixir. He has a good relationship with the young owner of Baicaotang. That's why I came here to ask my lord father for instructions."

Sun Zeshi said respectfully.

"Baicaotang is the branch of Baicao Sect in our Qin and Tang Empire. If we offend Baicao Sect, our Sun family will not look at it enough, but Baicaotang, what are you afraid of? Bring his head to me."

The old man said coldly.

A fierce flame rose from Sun Zeshi's face: "My child obeys!"
