After My Good Brother Crossed Over, I Was Invincible On Earth And Stars

17. Baiyun Mall, Longxi Qixue Pill

Baiyun County, the third floor of Baiyun Shopping Center under the Martial Artist Alliance.

Lin Xun fell into deep thought as he looked at the dazzling array of martial artist-specific goods in the shopping center.

When school was about to end, he received a message informing him that his scholarship had arrived.

It was a full fifty thousand Star Coins. He thought that he could buy a lot of supplies that he urgently needed. However, when he arrived at the shopping center and saw the prices of the tonics and pills, Lin Xun was dumbfounded.

An average-looking Vitality replenishing herb was priced at five thousand!

A finished Vitality Pill was priced at 12000!

In other words, the 50,000 yuan scholarship that he had just received was only enough to buy four Leveling Pills. This was simply outrageous! Outrageous! Outrageous to the extreme!

"No wonder people say that the poor study while the rich practice martial arts. The poor really don't have the right to practice martial arts!"

Lin Xun could not help but shake his head and sigh.

His father, Lin Chengye, worked as a mover in a moving company. He only earned about four thousand Star Coins a month. His annual salary was only 48000. That was two thousand less than the fifty thousand scholarship!

48000 was just enough to buy four Vitality Pills.

How could an ordinary family practice martial arts?

No matter how hard you worked or how talented you were, how could you compare to someone who ate Vitality Pills every day?

If one was talented, they could absorb Vitality quickly. However, if they lacked Vitality, they would not be able to improve their martial arts cultivation.

This was the cruel reality!

"Forget it. I'll go to the second floor and buy some cheap herbs first!"

Lin Xun shook his head and turned to go to the second floor of Baiyun Shopping Center.

The third floor was where the rich and martial artists spent their money. Lin Xun could not bear to squander his money there.

The second floor of the shopping center also had some ordinary tonics. Their prices were much more affordable, but their effects were also much worse.

So what if it was a little bit worse!

If the effects were not enough, he could make up for it with quantity!

If the effects were ten times worse, he could make up for it with ten times the amount. Moreover, he had just calculated that the tonics on the second floor were ten times cheaper than those on the third floor. He could save a lot of money.

The money he saved would be of great use to him!

His father's waist injury had to be treated. His mother's hands were swollen and pale from being soaked in water all year round. His sister had not bought a new dress for a long time. The food at home also needed to be improved.

Sun Li's family also needed to leave some money for them to improve their living conditions.

Unknowingly, Lin Xun had already arrived at the entrance of a pharmacy called "Longxi Pharmacy".

"Sir, what kind of medicine do you want to buy?"

When the salesperson saw that a customer had arrived, she immediately went up and asked in a friendly manner.

"It's a ready-made tonic that replenishes Qi and blood … The more affordable one!"

Lin Xun voiced out his needs.

With the continuous improvement of the Devil Ape Body Tempering Art and Nine Overlapping Waves, Lin Xun could feel an intense "hunger" coming from his body all the time.

That was a sign that his Qi and blood were in deficit due to the rapid increase in his strength.

Every muscle and cell in his body craved the nourishment of the power of Qi and blood.

Replenishing Vitality could be done with food, but the efficiency was too low.

Lin Xun's current level of deficiency could only be nursed back to health through medicinal herbs. Of course, the food should also be improved appropriately!

There were two main types of tonics on the market: finished products and medicinal herbs.

The medicinal properties of the herbs were monotonous, so it was naturally not Lin Xun's first choice.

Finished products were concocted by pharmacists. Different medicinal herbs were ground and mixed together, either in powder or pill form. The most common ones were the Qi and Blood Replenishing Powder and the Nine Flavor Rehmannia Pill.

Of course, these finished products also had differences between oral and external use. Oral tonics could be taken directly, while external use could be absorbed by the body through medicinal baths, acupuncture, ointment, and other methods.

Compared to oral tonics, external use tonics had milder medicinal properties and did not have residual toxins. However, the process was complicated and the conditions were harsh. Furthermore, the price was more expensive than oral tonics, so it was not suitable for Lin Xun.

Therefore, his first choice was to take oral tonics!

"If it's a ready-made tonic, our Longxi Pharmacy's exclusive Longxi Blood Replenishing Pill is very cost-effective!

This Blood Replenishing Pill is made from a mixture of nine types of medicinal herbs that replenish Qi and blood. At the same time, it also contains extremely nourishing Sky Sun Nectar. The taste is not bad either!

The price is 200 star coins per pill. The price is very affordable! "

As she spoke, the salesperson took out a box of pills from the shelf and handed it to Lin Xun.

"Sir, you can open it and smell it …"

The salesperson reminded him softly.

Of course, he could not test it.

The retail price of a Blood Replenishing Pill was 200 star coins. It was not cheap. If he allowed anyone to test it, how could Longxi Pharmacy make any money?

Smell it?

Isn't this a little too petty?!

However, Lin Xun did not care too much about it. He gently opened the box and took out a pill to smell it.

Not bad, the smell was indeed sweet!

Lin Xun had seen his sister take some tonics before. However, the smell was really indescribable. Lin Xun felt disgusted just by smelling it.

However, this medicine smelled like honey mixed with traditional Chinese medicine. The taste should not be too bad.

However …

He did not know how effective this thing was in replenishing Qi and blood.

"I bought quite a lot this time. Can I try one?"

Lin Xun asked tentatively.

"I'm afraid not …"

The salesperson was in a difficult position.
