Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 42 Qingshan

Qingshan Town, also known as Warcraft Town because it is located at the foot of the Warcraft Mountain Range.

Despite being just a small town, it is bustling with activity, with mercenary groups and squads of all sizes stationed here, making a living off the Monster Mountain Range.

Almost half of the medicinal herbs and magic cores produced by the Gama Empire each year come from here.

Although the Monster Mountain Range is teeming with monsters and fraught with danger, it also offers the greatest opportunities in the Gama Empire.

Here, as long as you dare to fight and struggle, you can obtain all kinds of rare treasures, medicinal herbs, and magic cores.

If you're incredibly lucky, you might discover the place where a powerful figure fell, obtain their legacy, cultivation techniques, fighting skills, and elixirs, and thus soar to great heights.

Overnight success and instant wealth are not just a dream here.

Every day, dreamers with this idea come here in an endless stream.

As evening approached, a young man dressed in black with white hair arrived at the town gate, looking up at the three characters on the gate.

"Qingshan Town!"

This is practically a famous must-visit spot. If you come to the Dou Qi Continent and don't take a stroll through it, it feels like your life is incomplete.

After watching silently for a while, Xiao Bai came to his senses and went inside.

As dusk settled, Xiao Bai strolled along the cobblestone streets of the small town. The shops on both sides were brightly lit and bustling with activity.

The streets were bustling with mercenaries.

Some had children riding on their shoulders, holding women's hands, whispering to each other, walking side by side down the street, their affection evident.

Some gathered in small groups, calling out to their friends, constantly discussing which brothel had the most alluring women, which tavern had the strongest and most fragrant wine, and which monsters were the most ferocious...

Some people cast strange glances at Xiao Bai, the young man in black robes with white hair and a cold and stern face, but Xiao Bai ignored them and continued walking towards the center of the town.

Along the way, Xiao Bai kept glancing at the shops on both sides, but he wasn't interested in them.

Although these shops had a different kind of ruggedness compared to Wutan City, they did not arouse his interest in the slightest. This was not a trip in his previous life.

He's looking for "Wan Yao Zhai"!

Finally, Xiao Bai saw his destination near the town's central square and walked over.

This is a very spacious herbal medicine shop, with moonstones hanging from the ceiling and walls, illuminating the entire shop as if it were daytime.

The herbal medicine shop was bustling with people, and several shop assistants were running around, extremely busy. When Xiao Bai went in, no one came up to greet him.

Xiao Bai wandered around the herbal medicine shop, hoping to run into the girl.

Now, Little Fairy Doctor no longer has white hair, and he doesn't know what she looks like, only her waist. This girl is known as "the number one waist beauty in Doupo".

Whoever has the slimmest waist should be the one!

But after scanning around, he didn't find anything, but he did attract a few stares that looked at him like he was a pervert.

There were even two voluptuous female mercenaries who, seeing that he was handsome despite his gray hair, secretly gave him a few flirty glances.

Xiao Bai ignored them and silently mourned for the men beside them!

"Huh!"

A sound of surprise arose in Xiao Bai's mind.

"Young Xiao Bai, do me a favor and quickly buy that piece of Coptis chinensis essence!" the old apothecary transmitted his voice to Xiao Bai in a somewhat urgent manner.

As he spoke, he was afraid that Xiao Bai wouldn't know which of the dozens of pieces of Coptis chinensis essence it was, so he used his soul power to mark one of them.

Sensing the soul fluctuations, Xiao Bai used his soul power to sweep towards the pile of yellow lotus essence.

Xiao Bai was speechless. He thought that since he arrived here almost a year earlier than the original timeline, he wouldn't have encountered any lucky breaks. But he didn't expect things to turn out so strangely!

And then there's that old rascal, Yao Lao, who's quite mischievous. When he looked at the piece of Coptis chinensis he wanted with his soul power, it seemed to be flashing, making it the most dazzling one among all the Coptis chinensis.

Just then, a young male waiter walked by, and Xiao Bai grabbed him, saying:

"Give me one of those medicinal herbs!"

Following the direction of the finger, the shopkeeper pursed his lips but said nothing, and walked towards the counter for Coptis chinensis extract.

He took one piece and tossed it onto the counter, yawned, and casually said, "Coptis chinensis extract, low-grade medicinal herb, one hundred gold coins!"

Seeing that it wasn't the piece he needed, and noticing the shopkeeper's attitude, Xiao Bai didn't take it. He shook his head and said jokingly:

"This piece is too thin, I don't want it!"

The waiter was speechless, but remembering the first rule of the employee handbook, "Customers first," he tolerated it and picked out the biggest piece to put on the counter.

"This piece is too fatty, I don't want it!"

The waiter was tempted to hit someone, but then he remembered Article 14 of the employee handbook: No hitting customers!

Never mind, never mind, I'll just have to bear with it a little longer.

I was about to reach for a piece of moderate size, but then I thought, just to be on the safe side, I should ask this white-haired boy.

"Sir, just tell me which piece you want, and I'll get it for you, okay?" the waiter asked through gritted teeth.

Thinking to myself, "Now that you picked it yourself, you won't complain about it being too fat or too thin, right?"

Xiao Bai's lips curled into a smile as he pointed to one of the pieces of Coptis chinensis extract. "This piece is the perfect size!"

The waiter hurriedly looked over, took out the piece of Coptis chinensis extract, examined it, and cursed under his breath:

"Damn it, this one's pretty much the same as the first one! This kid's probably just messing with me because I wasn't very enthusiastic!"

He glanced at Xiao Bai with disdain, thinking to himself that this kid dressed up so well, but he was just a poor wretch with a glamorous exterior.

These low-grade medicinal herbs only cost one yuan each, with no commission whatsoever. You expect your grandfather to provide enthusiastic service? Dream on!

But then I think about that damn employee handbook, it's really written by capitalists, and if you break it, you get ten days' pay deducted.

The shopkeeper tossed the medicinal herbs to Xiao Bai, saying impatiently, "One hundred gold coins!"

Xiao Bai didn't mind. He put away the medicinal herbs, took out one hundred gold coins and gave them to him, casually saying:

"By the way, young man, I heard that your Wan Yao Zhai has a Little Fairy Doctor. I wonder if she's in the shop right now?"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper felt even more contemptuous. A poor wretch dared to covet the beauty of their Wan Yao Zhai. Could it be that this kid had spent all his money to buy this outfit just for Little Doctor Fairy?

Before the waiter could speak, a drunken, burly man walked up to Xiao Bai and shouted, spitting as he spoke.

"Pretty boy, you think you can mess with Little Fairy Doctor with your silver spear and wax head? Believe me, I'll break your legs!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Bai hurriedly took a few steps back, his eyes showing a hint of impatience.

"You dare to hide, you little brat!" he said, stepping forward to grab him.

The people in the pharmacy looked on with amusement. They were displeased when they heard the burly man say that this kid was after Little Fairy Doctor.

Little Fairy Doctor has treated many mercenaries in Qingshan Town, and many of them are her own.

Seeing that he was relentless, Xiao Bai felt a surge of anger.

"roll!"

A voice, imbued with a spiritual force, resounded in the burly man's ear like muffled thunder.

The burly man suddenly rolled his eyes back, collapsed to the ground, and foamed at the mouth.

The crowd was shocked by the burly man's appearance, and the shop fell silent for a moment.
