Chapter 17 - Returning to Wu Tan City

With the successful cultivation of the Purple Cloud Wings, although Chen Xiao was still in the familiarization stage, it was already of great help to him.

Take the Magical Beasts on the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, for example. Ninety-nine percent of them ran on the ground or swam in the water.

Very few could fly.

Therefore, by flying just two zhang high, Chen Xiao could avoid most troubles and greatly speed up a round trip.

It was also thanks to the Purple Cloud Wings that Chen Xiao only took three days to empty the gold coins from the stone chamber in the cave, depositing all of them into his Gold Coin Card.

"A total of eight hundred and thirteen thousand two hundred and ninety-six gold coins. Esteemed guest, please keep it safe."

The well-figured maid held the Gold Coin Card in both hands, her smile as warm as a spring breeze. She didn't have any other thoughts about the Black Robe person in front of her being shorter than herself.

Chen Xiao didn't say a word, took the card, nodded slightly to express his thanks, and then left without looking back.

Over eight hundred thousand gold coins, this was all his current savings.

Ninety-nine percent of it was obtained from the stone chamber in the cave, and only a small portion was from hunting Magical Beasts.

After leaving Black Flame City, Chen Xiao spent half an hour rushing back to the inn in Green Mountain Town. He packed up the many hidden medicine boxes, then carried the bulging package to the Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion.

It was noon, and ninety percent of the mercenaries were out and about, making the spacious hall seem quite deserted.

The girl in the white dress standing on the wooden box saw Chen Xiao come in with a package, and a hint of confusion flashed across her face.

"I'm leaving Green Mountain Town. Can you spare me some of the medicinal powder you usually use for backup?"

Hearing this, the Little Fairy Doctor suddenly understood.

The medicinal powder she prepared was unmatched in cost-effectiveness in the entire Green Mountain Town, and mercenaries often came to buy it for backup, which was not surprising.

"If I give it all to you, I won't have any left for today. However, if you still have that kind of formula, I might consider it."

Chen Xiao placed the package next to him, picked up a pen and paper, and began to write from memory.

Initially, the girl stood behind the counter watching curiously, but as Chen Xiao wrote more and more, she had to quickly go upstairs and come back with a pile of bottles and jars.

Roughly looking, there were fourteen or fifteen bottles.

Chen Xiao looked up, his gaze filled with doubt.

Silence at this moment was better than words.

The Little Fairy Doctor smiled awkwardly, "There really is only this much left. I promise, I didn't keep a single bottle."

Chen Xiao nodded and continued to bury his head in writing.

Standing back on the wooden box, the girl also found paper, pen, and glue, and meticulously attached labels to each bottle of medicinal powder.

There were those for treating bruises and sprains, for stopping bleeding, for dissolving blood clots, and so on. The variety was very complete, covering most common conditions.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Xiao stopped writing and handed several pages of formulas to the girl.

At this point, he had copied a portion of the Seven-Colored Poison Manual for the girl, excluding the volume about the Woeful Poison Body.

"Thank you. I know that even if I gave you all my medicinal powder, it wouldn't be enough to exchange for so many formulas. But I really like studying these things, so I'll shamelessly take advantage of you today."

The girl said honestly, looking a little embarrassed.

Chen Xiao shook his head slightly and didn't say much, which made the girl feel a little strange.

Opening the package, Chen Xiao began to pack the medicine bottles.

His gaze also fell on the small characters on each bottle, which were delicate and neat.

The writing was like the person.

"Thank you for your care these past few days. Farewell."

"You're welcome. Oh, by the way, what's your name?"

"Chen Xiao."

"My name is Little Fairy Doctor."

"I know. Your reputation in Green Mountain Town is quite well-known."

Smiling, Chen Xiao picked up the package, waved his hand, and walked out of the Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion.

His purpose for this trip was successfully achieved, and it was time to go back and properly digest everything.

Just as Chen Xiao stepped out of Green Mountain Town, three mercenaries wearing Wolf Head badges glanced at the tempting package, exchanged looks, and silently followed.

"This kid is not weak. On his first day in Green Mountain Town, he showed strength above a Six Star Dou Zhe, and he went into the Magical Beast Mountain Range several times alone and came back safe and sound. The three of us aren't enough. How about this, Tie Shan, you go back and call a few more people, and we'll follow first." A mercenary with a sharp mouth and monkey-like cheeks said solemnly.

Hearing this, the mercenary called Tie Shan nodded and quickly turned around and left.

Walking on the steaming main road, Chen Xiao glanced back out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

The Wolf Head Mercenary Group was indeed a bad apple in this Green Mountain Town.

However, with the Purple Cloud Wings as his reliance, Chen Xiao was not afraid of anyone in Green Mountain Town.

Immediately, he turned into a small path and continued on his way.

Half an hour later, seven or eight mercenaries surrounding a young man of obviously high status followed the marks on the road to a dense forest.

"Why do the marks stop here?"

"Young Master, there are two corpses here!"

"It's Skinny Monkey and Fatty!"

"Damn it! We tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice. But that kid dared to kill someone from my Wolf Head Mercenary Group. This matter isn't over!"

...

Two days later.

Outside Wu Tan City.

Gazing at the small city where he had lived for nine years, Chen Xiao took off his black robe, a harmless smile appearing on his face.

When he had left Wu Tan City before, he had nothing, not even the most basic cultivation resources.

But now that he was back, his wealth could already rival that of the three great families, giving him ample confidence.

In fact, in terms of cash flow alone, and the cultivation techniques and Dou Skills that could be considered his foundation, the three great families were inferior to him!

"The next time I leave, it will be a true long journey."

Murmuring to himself, Chen Xiao no longer lingered and strode towards Wu Tan City.

Upon entering the city, Chen Xiao was surprised to find that Wu Tan City was exceptionally lively today. The flow of people on the streets far exceeded the past.

It was as if the population of Wu Tan City had surged by three or four times in just a month.

Moreover, these crowds were all converging towards the city center plaza.

"Could it be that the Jia Nan Academy recruitment team has arrived?"

When passing by the central plaza, the three layers inside and three layers outside of congested people made Chen Xiao click his tongue in amazement.

He stood on his tiptoes and peeked inside. Unfortunately, besides seeing a flag fluttering in the wind, there were only dense crowds of people.

"Forget it, it has nothing to do with me."

Chen Xiao shook his head helplessly and went straight back to the Xiao Family.

Jia Nan Academy was a good place to go, but Chen Xiao had no plans to go there for the time being.

Inside the Xiao Family.

The young disciples were all attracted by the Jia Nan Academy recruitment and had gone to the central plaza to watch the excitement, leaving the training grounds empty and completely devoid of people.

This was convenient for Chen Xiao. He returned to his residence without being noticed by many people along the way.

Of course, Xiao Xun'er, who lived in the most central location, was not included in this.

Ling Ying, a peak Dou Huang, was too overpowered for the small Wu Tan City. Every move of the Xiao Family could not escape his perception at all.

"Miss, Chen Xiao is back. He's a Nine Star Dou Zhe. He seems to have gained a lot."
