After leaving Ping'anfang, Lu Ren followed the way he came, carefully searching for Lin Yongning's trace.
When passing by a restaurant, he heard Lin Yongning's voice from above his head:"Second brother-in-law, here you are."
He waved at him.
Lu Ren looked up, then walked up and sat opposite Lin Yongning.
"Why did you leave without saying anything?"
Lin Yongning patted his purse and said with a smile:"There are all kinds of people in the casino, and I have such a large sum of money on me. I am afraid of being targeted, so I left first."
As he said, he looked at Lu Ren suspiciously:"You are in a hurry to look for me everywhere, are you afraid that I will run away?"
Lu Ren laughed:"How could it be, how could a brother-in-law suspect his brother-in-law?"
Lin Yongning curled his lips:"Then why are you gritting your teeth when you speak?"
Lu Ren laughed dryly and stretched out his hand:"Give it to me."
Lin Yongning threw the heavy purse to Lu Ren.
"I borrowed 100,000 silver coins from the casino to place a bet. After deducting the principal, I made a total of 530,000 silver coins, which is 5,300 gold coins. Please count them."
Lu Ren just glanced at it lightly with his eyes, and then carefully put away his purse.
However, under his seemingly calm face, he could no longer suppress the ecstasy in his heart.
You know, the bounty won by participating in the beast fight is only 150 gold coins, but Lin Yongning can easily earn more than 5,000 gold coins at the gambling table!
This huge difference... is simply jaw-dropping.
It is precisely because of this that there are so many people in this world who are addicted to gambling.
After all, the temptation brought by"getting rich overnight" is too strong.
Although today's gambling game made many people lose all their money, after Ping Anfang spreads Lin Yongning's brilliant record, there is no doubt that a large group of unsuspecting people who don't know the truth will flock to it, and then bet like crazy.
"Second brother-in-law, what are you going to do with so much money?"
Lu Ren thought of something and looked at Lin Yongning with a sharp gaze:"I heard from your sister that your Lin family is doing medicinal materials business?"
"That's right." Lin Yongning nodded proudly:"Our Lin family has a wide variety of medicinal materials, and the price is fair! Half of the spiritual medicines in the county town and even in the several counties under its jurisdiction have to pass through the hands of the Lin family."
"Take me to have a look."
Lin Yongning hesitated for a moment:"You want to buy medicinal herbs?"
""Yeah." Lu Ren nodded.
"But wouldn't it be more convenient to just buy the pills?"
Lu Ren explained,"I use it for a medicinal bath."
"Ah? Medicinal bath?"Lin Yongning was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lu Ren with a strange look:"Second brother-in-law, you are so weak at such a young age? My sister is as vigorous as a wolf, you are not because of her........."
Lu Ren glared at him angrily and said,"Do you believe me or not, I will tell your sister exactly what I said?"
"Don’t! Don’t! Don’t!" Lin Yongning immediately admitted his fear:"Second brother-in-law, I was just joking with you, don’t take it seriously! If my sister knew about this, my parents wouldn’t be able to save me........."
"Haha, you are quite self-aware."
Lu Ren stood up and said,"Lead the way"..........
Not long after, Lu Ren followed Lin Yongning to a spiritual medicine shop under the name of the Lin family.
This is different from the medicine shop where you can see a doctor and get medicine in an ordinary clinic. The medicines sold here are all expensive spiritual medicines, which are specially provided to martial artists.
Ordinary people cannot get access to them, let alone afford them. Even if they are lucky enough to get them, it is difficult for the mortal body to withstand the violent medicinal power contained in the spiritual medicine.
Generally speaking, those who come to the spiritual medicine shop to purchase are second- and third-rate forces that can refine pills on their own.
After the medicinal materials are melted into pills, the price will increase by several percent.
The price difference is the basis for the survival of these second- and third-rate forces.
Of course, it is not ruled out that there are very few martial artists who are proficient in alchemy and occasionally purchase in their own name.
In order to perfectly utilize and absorb the medicinal effects, alchemy and internal use are undoubtedly the best choice.
It is rare to use medicinal baths like Lu Ren.
Because a large amount of spiritual medicine is needed to boil a pot of medicinal soup, and the medicinal effects cannot be completely integrated into the water, the medicinal power that martial artists can really absorb from it is less than one-tenth of the original.
Such a low utilization rate is undoubtedly a waste of natural resources.
Unless you are a descendant of one of the four major families, you simply cannot afford such consumption. When the owner of the spiritual medicine shop saw Lin Yongning coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Master, how do you have time to come to the store to inspect it?"
Lin Yongning pointed at Lu Ren in front of him and said,"He is my......."
He hesitated for a moment and did not dare to call him"Second Brother-in-law". It would not matter if he called him that for fun outside.
But if he dared to call him that in his own territory, it would not take long for his parents and elder sister to hear about it.
The consequences can be imagined.........
Lin Yongning cleared his throat and said,"He is under my sister's protection. Please cooperate with me if you need anything."
The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly,"I understand."
""Sir, which herbs do you like? Or, what kind of elixir do you need to refine? I can help you prepare it."
Lu Ren thought for a moment, and according to the requirements of the first stage of the"Nourishing Blood Sutra", he named several herbs one by one.
"Fire dragon grass, dragon bone flower, purple cloud vine........"
The shopkeeper nodded and wrote down the herbs.
After Lu Ren finished speaking, he finally couldn't help but frown and asked,"Sir, forgive my ignorance, what kind of elixir are you going to make?"
Lu Ren pointed at himself and smiled without saying anything.
The shopkeeper was a little confused.
Lin Yongning couldn't stand it anymore and kicked him from behind.
"Stop talking so much nonsense, why don’t you go and prepare the medicine?"
"Yes, yes, sir, I'll go right away!".........
In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the shopkeeper had prepared the herbs that Lu Ren needed and handed them to him.
Lu Ren estimated that this batch of herbs was enough for him to take three medicinal baths.
He would see how effective it was and then decide whether to continue practicing the"Nourishing Blood Sutra".
"How much is it?"
The shopkeeper glanced at Lin Yongning.
The latter started to scold:"I'm asking you a question, why are you looking at me?"
The shopkeeper felt so wronged.
Didn't you say that this young man was protected by the eldest lady?
He thought that Lin Yongning paid for the purchase of the herbs........
The shopkeeper said to Lu Ren:"The total is 30,000 silver coins."
"So expensive?" Lu Ren frowned.
It was equivalent to him spending 10,000 silver coins for a medicinal bath, which was indeed a bit extravagant.
"Since we are all acquaintances, can you give me a discount?"
The shopkeeper's eyes flickered and he asked,"How much discount would you like, sir?""
"Then, give me a 50% discount!"
"this........"
Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, a cold voice came from outside the door.
"Believe it or not, I will break your legs first!"
