The extraordinary journey begins with the Ouroboros Stele.

Chapter 143 [Ingredients: Kui Niu Hide]

After Fulanwu and Linye left, the black-haired girl quickly ran to the black-haired youth and poked him.

"Brother Blade, you're not dead, are you?"

Blade tilted his head slightly and hissed, "If you can't talk properly, shut up! Hurry up and carry me away! You're so embarrassing!"

After the two left, the martial artists in the hall began to discuss among themselves.

"Who was that blue-haired goddess just now? How did she manage to beat up someone as important as Blade like that?"

"You don't even know Blue Whale? Goddess, my foot! More like a female killing god! Do you know how many martial artists she killed back then?"

"In the past two years, I've probably been just a hair's breadth away from having the spirit to back it up, so now I'm purifying my mental will, which has led to a restraint in my killing instincts."

"Her murderous intent is restrained? Doesn't that mean she's only one final, unleashed burst of power away from achieving her full potential?"

Upon hearing this, the few remaining martial artists in the hall fell silent.

Spirit, the level of a fighter.

That's someone who's considered a sect leader, qualified to rule over a third- or fourth-tier modern city; calling him a local tyrant wouldn't be an exaggeration.

"And what about the other one?"

"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear Blue Whale call him 'junior brother'? But isn't Blue Whale's junior brother that bastard White Whale?"

"How dare you speak to Lord White Whale! You dare to comment on him!"

Just as the two martial artists were about to start arguing, a figure walked out of the inner chamber—it was Manager Li.

"That person just now was Lord Blue Whale's junior brother, Demon Whale."

Upon hearing the words "Demon Whale," the group of martial artists were startled.

"Wow, a Demon Whale? That's incredibly arrogant."

"I have a feeling that a fourth killer is about to emerge?"

"This Red Whale Sect must have something going on. Even that nice old man Xing Jing can be reduced to nothing when he gets serious."

In the secluded courtyard, Fulanwu and Linye pushed open the door and entered.

"Junior brother, don't forget to eat that purple pill after you've refined the evil spirit. There's a night market on Second Street tonight. If you have nothing to do, you can go there and have a look. You might find some good stuff."

As he spoke, Fulanwu placed the supplies in his hands on the wooden floor under the eaves to count and arrange them.

"I'll pack up and go to the herb-gathering area tomorrow."

Lin Ye nodded. "Okay, I'll go check it out tonight."

He then returned to the house, where there was only a simple wooden bed and a wooden table.

He sat down at the table, took out the porcelain bottle containing the Purple Qi Pill, and popped the cork off with a "pop".

A faint fragrance wafted out, and Lin Ye felt relaxed after taking a sniff.

Pour the purple pill into your palm; it's the size of a longan, a bright purple pill all over.

【Ingredient Name: Purple Rose】

[Ingredient Category: Secret Medicine]

[Ingredient Tier: Lord Tier]

Edible part: the whole body

[Effects of Consumption: Moderately increases Intelligence attribute. Grants nourishment of True Qi with Morning Glow Purple Qi, slightly improving True Qi quality.]

After reviewing the ingredient information, pack it up.

Judging from the results, it only works after refining and condensing the evil energy; consuming it now would be a waste.

After carefully putting away the purple pill, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began meditating on "Wings of the Seventh Kingdom".

As evening approached, Lin Ye pushed open the door and left the villa.

Not long after, we arrived at the Second Street Night Market.

Looking ahead, the road is wide, and the distance is estimated to be more than 300 meters.

There were stalls on both sides, and a cacophony of sounds filled the air—various shouts of vendors and discussions of prices.

It's somewhat like the black market for antiques from a past life, but the atmosphere is much more vibrant.

As Lin Ye entered the night market, he glanced around.

There are too many people, and a lot of things are blocked.

However, he didn't care too much. He just took it as a way to relax. It would be great if he gained something, but it didn't matter if he didn't.

As he strolled around, he looked at the street stalls around him.

It's hard to imagine, but each of the stall owners was at least a martial artist at the third level of boxing, and there were many experts at the Zhen level as well.

Such a scene would be almost impossible to witness in the outside world.

Ordinary level three is already considered a master, and level Zhen is the backbone of the force. Only a group of martial artists from Tieqin and more than a dozen surrounding cities could have such a phenomenon.

Looking around, the stalls mostly sold medicinal herbs and ores, with relatively few finished pills.

There's really nothing we can do about it. The alchemist association monopolizes the production of pills, so at most, they can only produce a few in secret.

Having walked through nearly half of the night market, Lin Ye shook his head.

There were indeed some ingredients, but they were all of the mortal level, and for him, this improvement was negligible.

Moreover... the prices are ridiculously high; a snake gallbladder that can slightly enhance intelligence is priced at 80,000.

It's better to just buy a silver snake and eat it.

Just then, someone at the stall in front of him stood up, glanced over casually, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

He turned his head away, composed himself, and squatted down as if nothing had happened.

"Boss, how much is this?"

He picked up a herb that looked like a wild grass, but was a bright, fiery red.

The roots were still covered in soil, indicating that they had just been dug up not long ago.

Although Fire Cloud Grass is not a food ingredient, he learned about it after triggering the "What is Innate" event, and recognized the appearance of Fire Cloud Grass and Innate Miro Root.

"No bargaining, 110,000."

The boss was a level four earthquake typhoon; he just glanced at the document and immediately gave a quote.

Lin Ye nodded. "Swipe the card."

This time, his senior sister gave him one million yuan, which he could spend as he pleased.

The stall owner was taken aback, then nodded, realizing he hadn't seen such a straightforward person before.

"The customer is generous. This Fire Cloud Grass is worth 100,000 on the market. Mine is a top-grade one, so I'll offer it for 110,000 without ripping you off."

Seeing that Lin Ye was straightforward, he also became more interested in chatting, saying that the Fire Cloud Grass was dug up by a martial artist in a herb-gathering area.

"Great, boss, may your business prosper!"

"I've added you on WeChat. Could you please ask Huoyuncao if they still have any left?"

After saying that, Lin Ye picked up the wooden box containing the Fire Cloud Grass and stood up.

"Okay! Definitely!" the boss said with a smile.

As Lin Ye left the stall, he weighed the Fire Cloud Grass in his hand. It was a pity that there was only one plant. If only he could buy seven at once, it would save him the trouble.

However, since that martial artist was dug out in the herb-gathering area, maybe he can encounter him too?

He shook his head, saying it was just a matter of money and not worth his time.

He is now a direct disciple of the Crimson Whale Sect. Although he does not actually control any industries, he can access millions of dollars with just a word to his master.

After strolling around for a while, Lin Ye arrived at the end of the night market.

There weren't many people left by then.

Just as he was about to turn back, his gaze was suddenly drawn to something.

They squatted down at a stall. The stall owner was a middle-aged man with a mustache, whose strength should have just entered the earthquake level.

Just as they were about to pack up, they saw Lin Ye squat down and stopped what they were doing.

"What would you like to order, sir?"

Lin Ye didn't bother with any feints or deceptions; he looked directly at his target.

An old animal skin scroll, with patterns carved on it, looks like a treasure map.

However, what he cared about wasn't the treasure map, but... the animal skin scroll itself.
