Chapter 1710 The Assassin Arrives

The two medicinal herbs Ye Bufan mentioned were the main ingredients for refining the Heaven Mending Pill, and neither could be lacking.

According to the Ancient Medical Sect Legacy, either of these two herbs, taken out individually, was a precious medicinal material, so he wanted to inquire about the price first.

Otherwise, if someone brought out the herbs and he had no money to buy them, wouldn't that be awkward?

But what he didn't expect was that Su Caiwei looked utterly bewildered.

“Ye Dage, what are the seven star grass and hongyuan fruit you're talking about? Are they particularly rare medicinal herbs? Why have I never heard of them?”

“They are quite rare.”

Ye Bufan's heart tightened. He had seen many precious medicinal herbs on Earth, and even the medicinal garden on Yunxia Mountain didn't have these two herbs. It was likely they were extremely rare even in this Kunlun Immortal Realm.

But no matter what, he had to find these two herbs, otherwise, there would be no hope for his Mental Energy to recover in a short time.

Su Caiwei said, “If medicinal herbs are particularly precious and rare, you can't buy them in pharmacies. You can only go to Jubao Pavilion. Perhaps they might have them there. Otherwise, you'll have to try your luck at an auction.”

“What kind of place is Jubao Pavilion?”

Ye Bufan looked stunned. He still knew too little about this world.

“Jubao Pavilion is…”

After explaining for a long time, Ye Bufan finally understood. Jubao Pavilion was equivalent to a business association on Earth, dealing in various goods, primarily high-end items, including various rare medicinal herbs.

Su Caiwei finally said, “Some items can also be ordered from Jubao Pavilion, but the price is very expensive. Generally, rare medicinal herbs cost at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins.”

“Oh! I understand.”

Ye Bufan nodded. He had a large amount of usd in his Storage Ring, but unfortunately, that stuff was no different from waste paper in the Kunlun Immortal Realm.

He did have some gold coins, which he had obtained from Yao Qian's Storage Ring, about ten thousand of them.

He had originally thought it was a considerable fortune, but it seemed it wasn't even enough to buy one medicinal herb.

“Um, is this a towel?”

After clarifying the matter of the medicinal herbs, Ye Bufan's gaze fell on the towel in Su Caiwei's hand.

From an Earth perspective, this wasn't even a towel at all. It was completely made of linen, neither absorbent nor comfortable to wipe on the body.

“Uh… yes… it is.”

Su Caiwei didn't expect Ye Bufan's topic to suddenly shift here, and her cheeks instantly flushed again.

“This thing of yours isn't good. It's not comfortable to use.

Ye Bufan had already learned that there were countless Cultivators in the Kunlun Immortal Realm, and Storage Rings were not uncommon items.

So he didn't hide his own ring and directly took out a large bath towel from it and handed it over.

His ring space was large enough, stocked with all kinds of supplies. Anything he could think of was inside, even more abundant than a small warehouse supermarket.

The reason he stocked these things at the time was to prevent unexpected needs, and now they truly came in handy.

“Oh, what is this? So beautiful, so soft.”

Su Caiwei's face immediately showed surprise when she saw the beautiful bath towel.

“This is a bath towel. You can use it when you bathe from now on.”

Ye Bufan simply went all the way, then took out shampoo, shower gel, bath sponges, and various other bathing tools from his Storage Ring.

“Uh… Ye Dage, what are all these things?”

Although the Kunlun Immortal Realm was rich in Spiritual Qi and had developed martial arts, modern industry was virtually non-existent. Even if there were some, they were mainly handmade. Where would they have seen such modern things?

“This…”

Ye Bufan was a bit stunned. He had never thought that one day he would need to explain to someone how to use shampoo and body wash.

“Um… come here, I'll teach you how to use them.”

He simply pulled Su Caiwei directly to the edge of the bathtub and then began to demonstrate various uses on the spot.

Of course, taking a bath was out of the question; all operations were performed on Su Caiwei's tender hands.

He first held her hand and wet it, then applied shower gel, used a bath sponge to create foam, and finally rinsed it off with clean water.

“Later, you can wash like this. This is for washing your body, and that shampoo is for washing your hair…”

Ye Bufan explained, but he didn't notice that Su Caiwei's cheeks were completely flushed. For so many years, she had never been held so intimately by a man.

“Oh! Um, you go ahead and be busy. I'm going back.”

Ye Bufan sensed her abnormality and then realized that this was the Kunlun Immortal Realm, not Earth with its open customs.

He let go of Su Caiwei and then turned and walked out of the room. But just as he arrived in the courtyard, his scalp suddenly tingled, and a huge sense of crisis rose in his heart.

Although his cultivation had decreased and his Mental Energy had diminished, and his Divine Sense was far less acute than before, his keenness as a Void Refining Stage expert remained. He immediately realized that danger was

He immediately used Instant Movement to avoid the impending danger, but then he awkwardly discovered that with the decrease in his cultivation, the distance of his Instant Movement was also much shorter than before.

During the Void Refining Stage, a thought could take him a hundred meters away, but now his Instant Movement was only one meter.

Fortunately, although this distance was very short, it was enough to save his life. Just as he left, a sharp blade cut through his original position.

Ye Bufan was greatly alarmed and used his light body movement technique to quickly move ten meters away.

When he looked back again, a dark figure stood in the courtyard.

This person was covered from head to toe in black night clothes, with a black veil covering his face, just like an assassin in a TV show, making it impossible to see his appearance.

Even so, one could still feel the powerful aura emanating from him; he was clearly a Nascent Soul Stage expert.

The person missed with one strike, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

As a well-trained assassin, he had always been a one-hit kill, even capable of killing targets stronger than himself by crossing cultivation stages.

He never expected to miss today, and the opponent was a Golden Core Stage Cultivator whose cultivation was far inferior to his own.

“Kid, I didn't expect you to have some skill.”

Since the sneak attack failed, the Black-robed man was not in a hurry to strike again. Anyway, his cultivation firmly suppressed the opponent, so there was no need to rush.

“Who are you? Why are you attacking me? I don't think I've offended you, have I?”

Ye Bufan was also frustrated. He had just arrived in the Kunlun Immortal Realm less than 24 hours ago. Who did he provoke? Why was an assassin coming to his door?

The Black-robed man said indifferently, “Taking money from others to resolve their problems. We assassins naturally do things for others when we take their money. You can only blame yourself for offending someone.”

Ye Bufan asked, “You said you're an assassin? Then who sent you to kill me?”

“Assassins have their rules. You can go ask the King of Hell about that.”

As the Black-Clothed Man spoke, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and a black long blade appeared in his palm.

“Wait a moment.”

Ye Bufan quickly stopped him and then said, “How much money did they give you? I'll give you double.”

The Black-Clothed Man said indifferently, “The other party offered 200,000 gold coins for your head.”

“200,000…”

Ye Bufan immediately felt a million alpacas running through his mind. He didn't even have 20,000 gold coins, let alone 200,000. He hadn't expected his head to be so valuable.
