Chapter 29: Danxiang Medicine Shop
lse. I think it's safer than here.""You're talking about the Divine Weapon Boutique" Flower Fragrance Yue didn't know why, but her mind immediately thought of Liu Meng'er's figure. Her voice became so...Chapter 29 - Dan's Fragrant Medicine Store
After entering the city, Shen Xiang saw many people gathered in front of a long wall. He walked over to take a look and found that the wall was covered with information, mainly guides and maps of the city. The map indicated inns, famous shops, the palace, and addresses of martial arts families. It was very detailed, allowing Shen Xiang to quickly locate the drug family nearby, which is close to the palace. He also saw the newly indicated Xue family, who were relocating into the royal city.
This long wall not only displayed maps, but also other information like searching for people or items, purchasing needs, selling goods, and hiring workers. This made it easier for newcomers to find jobs quickly.
Scanning the information quickly, Shen Xiang was surprised to find a job announcement left by his uncle.
"Hiring alchemists, location is... Shen Lu Zong left."
Shen Xiang remembered the place and found it on the map very quickly.
"My uncle acts so fast, he can find a good shop as soon as he arrives at the royal city!" Based on the map, Shen Xiang could see that the location was in a prime spot, at the corner of an intersection, and it's also three-story building with large space.
Remembering the route, Shen Xiang immediately headed there.
Soon, he arrived at a繁華 area and saw a shop with its door closed. However, the shop's door was old, full of scratches and other signs that suggested it had been broken into.
Shen Xiang frowned and gently knocked on the door.
"Who" A voice said angrily from inside the shop.
“Uncle, it’s me!” Shen Xiang replied softly. At this moment, he could guess what was happening.
The door opened, and Shen Xiang saw his uncle’s aged angry face.
At this moment, Shen Xiang saw the scene inside the shop. It was in chaos with broken furniture and walls full of slashes. Seeing this, Shen Xiang clenched his fists tightly, making a cracking sound, and his eyes were filled with anger.
“Who did this” Shen Xiang said in a gloomy voice, vowing to make that person pay ten times the price.
“Come in and talk!” Shen Lu Zong replied.
After entering, Shen Xiang saw that the walls, floors, and ceilings had been damaged by sharp tools. Chairs were broken too, nothing was left whole.
Shen Xiang became angrier as he continued looking, but his expression was calm and terrifying. This surprised Shen Lu Zong.
At the third floor, Shen Xiang and Shen Lu Zong sat on the floor.
“The backyard is still fine. I originally hired two waiters to run the shop, but now they are all injured. I just went there and gave them medicinal pills and spirit money,” Shen Lu Zong sighed, "I bought this shop a long time ago and kept it empty until today morning when a group of people rushed in...then everything became like this."
“Who did this I’ll find them now!” Shen Xiang’s eyes were full of killing intent, even drug family elders and talents from the drug family had been dealt with by him. Who would he hesitate to kill now
“Originally, I wanted to give them a lesson too, but then I found out that the person who did this is the manager of a major medicinal power here. If we offend them again, it’ll be hard for us to buy medicines in the future,” Shen Lu Zong said.
Shen Xiang snorted, "Uncle, you don’t need to worry about this! Our family has just moved into the royal city and is being bullied by others. If we don’t show strength, how will our family survive here"
“I know that...The manager of the medicinal power wanted to get this good shop, but I refused him. Only when I put out a job announcement did he make his move. He wants me to back off,” Shen Lu Zong said.
"Uncle, you are an alchemist and still bullied by a manager," Shen Xiang said with a sour face.
Shen Lu Zong smiled bitterly, "I’m doing this for the big picture. Our family already offended the drug family."
In addition to the drug family, there was another medicinal power in the royal city, Dan’s Fragrant Medicine Store. They had branches throughout cities and were a low-profile force. However, they did such an act now.
“Is it Dan’s Fragrant Medicine Store I’ll find that manager now! There are five stores in the royal city, which one is it” Shen Xiang stood up and shook off dirt from his buttocks. He seemed determined not to give up.
Now, Shen Lu Zong had no choice but to admit his nephew’s strength and pride, "The store in the south. Remember not to kill anyone, killing someone inside the royal city does not have a good outcome! Let’s go together."
Shen Xiang nodded, then left the shop with Shen Lu Zong.
“Uncle, what kind of strength are you now” Shen Xiang asked. While they were together, he could only sense a burst of fire energy from his uncle but couldn’t feel the depth of his true qi.
"Heh heh, I’m not one to be intimidated easily. Although I’m not as strong as your grandfather," Shen Lu Zong didn’t reveal his strength.
“Proud kid, the royal city has many strong people hiding like tigers and dragons. That’s why I don’t dare to act without thinking,”
Shen Xiang nodded, “I know that. Hearing you say this makes me think you’re very powerful! You want to take things lightly.
Shen Lu Zong smiled, "You’ll understand that sometimes taking a loss is good. Like now, nobody knows the exact strength of this old man. If I’m annoyed...hehe."
Shen Lu Zong laughed sinisterly, leading Shen Xiang to shiver. Concealing strength could give enemies a surprise attack, which was also a very cunning strategy.
Soon, Shen Xiang and Shen Lu Zong arrived at a walled estate. This was Dan’s Fragrant Medicine Store, and they entered a large two-story building, which served as the main store for selling medicines within Dan’s Fragrant Medicine Store.
“Kid, don’t be too reckless,” Shen Lu Zong whispered.
Shen Xiang nodded, then shouted loudly, "Manager of Dan’s Fragrant Medicine Store, come out!”
The voice was filled with a thick true qi that Shen Xiang generated, causing the building to shake slightly. People inside were shocked beyond words as someone dared to cause trouble in Dan’s Fragrant Medicine Store, and it was a young boy!
Although the business of Dan’s Fragrant Medicine Store was not bad, it was agitated by Shen Xiang's shout. Everyone immediately came out of the door and gathered outside to watch.
Shen Xiang’s shout alarmed the entire Dan’s Fragrant Medicine Store, and guards rushed to protect him quickly. These guards were of the martial arts realm four or five levels, which could be sensed by Shen Xiang based on their true qi seeping out. People like Shen Xiang were rare, especially young ones, so his strength compared to these guards was stronger.
Looking around Shen Xiang, he noticed that his uncle Shen Lu Zong was nowhere to be seen. Earlier, Shen Lu Zong blended into the crowd and walked out as he didn’t want to be seen participating in this matter.
“Do you know where you are Daring to cause trouble here!” A man in his thirties walked over, wearing a white luxurious suit with an exquisite jade pendant hanging around his waist. It was obvious that he was of high status.. You have to return now," Shen Xiang heard an old voice coming, which sounded very kind and not like someone who was plotting something.Then Yue’er’s sweet childlike voice echoed, "I’m not going back...
