The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 881: Chapter 876: Chaotic Market Feiyun Pill Workshop

One baozi a month?

And to thank me for passing such a precious alchemy method to him, just treat me to baozi?

Lin Tian was speechless inside, and couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

However.

Looking at Shi Xiaoshou’s expression as if to say ”look how generous I am”, Lin Tian suddenly felt a bit inexplicably heartbroken.

The people of Flying Cloud City, who have lived here for generations, except for strong ones like Nie Xingchen, mostly live isolated lives, leading relatively backward lifestyles.

And Shi Xiaoshou is among the lowest of them all.

If Shi Xiaoshou were willing, with his cultivation, entering the secular world would allow him to live an extremely comfortable life.

However, it was clear that the people at Flying Cloud Inn preferred to stay here.

”Shou’er, are you craving Lin’s Workshop meat baozi from the city again?”

At this moment, a slightly aged and hoarse voice came from a simple clay house by the vegetable garden, and then an old woman with a slightly bent back and gray hair walked out.

The old woman was dressed in a coarse linen robe, her face full of wrinkles, and she leaned on a cane.

This old woman also had some cultivation, but only at the Qi Refining Second Layer.

”Hehe, Grandma, a guest of Grandpa Fuyao is here, he taught me something good during alchemy just now!”

Shi Xiaoshou waddled over, helping the elderly lady, and said, ”His name is Lin Bei, a guest brought by Master Nie, said he’s looking for Grandpa Fuyao!”

Saying this, Shi Xiaoshou looked at Lin Tian and said, ”Lin Bei, this is my grandmother!”

”Hello!”

Lin Tian nodded slightly as a greeting.

”Nice young man!”

The elderly woman couldn’t discern Lin Tian’s cultivation, secretly amazed, and warmly smiled, ”You’re looking for Old Man Fuyao, right? He’s already headed to Flying Cloud Peak, you should go with Xiaoshou. Have some baozi on the way!”

”Thank you!”

Lin Tian nodded again in reply.

Before leaving, Lin Tian couldn’t help but use his Divine Sense to scan the ridge behind the village, and sure enough, there were many medicinal herbs planted there, including ordinary Chinese herbs and some spiritual medicine.

Unfortunately.

He couldn’t sense the presence of Soul Nourishing Grass.

”Where is that old man’s Soul Nourishing Grass planted? Or does he only have seeds?”

Lin Tian was somewhat puzzled.

But he didn’t think much about it, figuring he would know once he met Fuyao in person.

”Hehe, let’s head into the city first and eat some Lin’s Workshop meat baozi!”

Shi Xiaoshou took the lead, winking at Lin Tian and saying, ”Let me tell you, those meat baozi from Lin’s Workshop, they’re thin-skinned with lots of meat, the baozi’s surface is so tender and smooth, they feel great in your hand, and they’re so fragrant! Some say that those baozi are just like the two peaks of Lin’s Workshop’s lady boss, white and tender, and eating them is pure ecstasy!”

Listening to the fatty’s words, and looking at the drooling, lecherous look on his face, Lin Tian couldn’t help but be speechless.

Though small, Flying Cloud City was bustling, with various hawking sounds in the early morning, and smoke rising from each family’s cooking.

Some cultivators even set up stalls early along the bluestone-paved street, selling all sorts of things.

Lin Tian followed the fatty through the city streets and stopped at a shop named Lin’s Meat Buns at the intersection.

”Wahahaha... we’re the earliest!”

Shi Xiaoshou excitedly dragged Lin Tian along, his eyes shining, ”Lin Bei, look, that’s the lady boss of Lin’s Meat Buns! Isn’t she pretty...”

Lin Tian looked towards the baozi shop and saw a woman with her hair pinned back, busy making baozi behind the store’s steamer.

The woman was indeed beautiful, exuding a mature charm and enchantment.

But she was just an ordinary woman.

Because Lin Tian couldn’t sense a trace of aura from her.

”Sister Lin, give my fatty four meat baozi!”

Shi Xiaoshou eagerly ran into the shop, staring intently at Lin’s Workshop’s lady boss, patting his chest, and shouting, but then waved his chubby hand and shouted, ”No... make it ten! My buddy and I will have five each!”

Then Shi Xiaoshou searched himself, fished out a few crumpled bills, and handed them over.

The currency here was surprisingly the same as outside.

”Hehehe... you little fatty, still such a sweet talker!”

Lin’s Workshop’s lady boss chuckled softly and then packed ten baozi for Shi Xiaoshou in a bag.

Leaving Lin’s Meat Buns.

On the way, Shi Xiaoshou’s mouth was bulging from eating.

”No wonder you’re so fat, truly a big eater!”

Lin Tian watched Shi Xiaoshou devouring the baozi as if he wanted to swallow them all in one go, shaking his head in disbelief.

The fatty bought him five baozi, but Lin Tian didn’t eat them and instead stored them in his storage bag.

”What’s going on in Flying Cloud City? Everywhere we passed, I saw so many solitary and disabled people!”

Walking through Flying Cloud City with Shi Xiaoshou, Lin Tian noticed many homes with elderly solitary guys and disabled people basking in the sun at their doorsteps.

Seeing four or five households was one thing, but the entire street had at least over twenty such families.

”Ugh... don’t bring that up; it’s said that once upon a time, a monster appeared in the Ten Thousand Mountains, eating people! Many young people from these households went hunting and got eaten, or got crippled... but later, I heard the monster was captured and killed by a master from Flying Cloud Peak... things were calm for a while!”

Shi Xiaoshou mumbled while chewing on a baozi, ”But recently, children have started disappearing again, possibly another monster causing trouble! You don’t know; I’ve always wanted to go collect herbs in the mountains, but my grandma won’t let me, saying what if I get eaten by a monster! Ah, only Master Zhong Xiangdi can sort this thing out...”

A monster?

Lin Tian was surprised by the fatty’s words.

The demon beasts he had seen in the Ten Thousand Mountains were at most third-tier; with so many people missing, Flying Cloud Inn should have been able to handle it.

However, Lin Tian didn’t bother thinking too much and followed the fatty through Flying Cloud City, arriving at the base of Flying Cloud Peak.

At the base of the mountain, there was a large chaotic market, gathering many cultivators selling their wares, alongside rows of shops, larger in scale than Flying Cloud City, all specializing in items related to cultivation.

”Hehe, this is our Flying Cloud Inn’s Chaotic Market, the most famous market in the Yelang Cultivation Domain! It even attracts many loose cultivators from the southwest!”

Shi Xiaoshou walked ahead, introducing it to Lin Tian, but abruptly stopped in front of a market shop, his eyes gleaming, pointing excitedly, ”Lin Bei, look, that’s Flying Cloud Pill Workshop! It’s the biggest pill workshop here, selling all kinds of spiritual medicine and herbs and pill furnaces! I come in every time to look and touch the pill furnace! Especially one of them, which has spirituality. The store owner has declared before, besides Grandpa Fuyao, whoever can refine an advanced profound pill will get that pill furnace for free! Of course, the shop owner does this to boost the store’s name! So I have to work harder, refine an advanced profound pill sooner, and truly have my own pill furnace...”

A pill furnace with spirituality?

Lin Tian was astonished, looking up at the store’s sign not far away, engraved with four big words—Flying Cloud Pill Workshop.
