Chapter 222: He’s Not Sick is He?

Before the shopkeeper could even speak, there was a laugh of ridicule coming from behind.

“It sure is the first time I’ve heard of anyone who dares to trade for Spiritual Herbs using pills at a pill shop set up under the Pill Tower.
You’re actually trying to show off skills in front of experts here at the Pill Tower, how courageous!”

Lou Mu Yan followed this unfamiliar voice and looked up, gazing over.
A tall, beautiful, indistinguishably androgynous man walking in from the door of the store, but that peach-red coloured dressed on him looked truly gaudy.

The man’s voice of ridicule didn’t actually sound that malicious.
It only seemed to be expressing an opinion.

“Si Nan, you’re really a dog who catches mice—meddlesome.” Luo Li said impolitely when he saw the person who walked in.

Lou Mu Yan looked at Luo Li in amusement.
This little cat really got angry too easily.

Si Nan and Luo Li had always disliked each other the most.
He ignored Luo Li, and instead approached and scrutinised Lou Mu Yan, then said leisurely: “First-class appearance, first-class figure, first-class temperament, it’s just a pity that your cultivation base is too unqualified.”

After speaking, he even showed a look of pity, “Most importantly, after staying with Luo Li for a long time, you’ve also become so naïve, even wanting to use pills to exchange for Spiritual Herbs, aye! A pity.

“Young Miss Lou, do you not know that this pill shop is the property of the Pill Tower? The sale of Spiritual Herbs is just supplementary, the important part is that they sell pills.

“If you don’t have money to buy Spiritual Herbs, Luo Li this big fool does! Why play with the shopkeeper of the pill store.” Si Nan looked as if he was doing this all for her, but what he said was very worth beating up for.

The smile on Lou Mu Yan’s face didn’t change much, but there wasn’t much warmth in her eyes, “Noisy!”

She seemed to understand now.
This Si Nan and Luo Li didn’t like each other, and he used her to suppress Little Cat Luo.

She was also too lazy to argue with this kind of person who looked for trouble.
Three golden needles flew out of her sleeves and shot directly at Si Nan.

Si Nan revealed a bit of surprise in his eyes, picked up the folding fan in his hand, channelled Elemental Energy and blocked it.

But the three golden needles pierced straight through his folding fan and shot towards his neck.
He didn’t even have time to bring out his sword as he hurriedly resisted with his palm wind, knocking down two golden needles, but the other golden needle pierced right through the gap between his fingers and stabbed him right below the collarbone.

His eyes widened, only to feel that his body went numb, and he lost all sensations.

“What did you do to me?” He exclaimed in disbelief.

The speed of this woman’s golden needle was too fast, and the force was also quick, accurate and ruthless.
The material used to refine the golden needles was definitely unparalleled, otherwise it would be impossible to shoot through his Peak-Quality Spirit Treasure.

Most importantly, with his cultivation base, he was actually paralysed after a single golden needle pierced him, and the Elemental Energy in his entire body was if it were frozen.
This was the first time he had encountered such a thing.

Lou Mu Yan waved her hand and the three golden needles disappeared into her sleeve.
The others didn’t even see it clearly.

“Just to shut you up.” Lou Mu Yan gave him a cold look and ignored him.

“Hey, did you poison me?

“Woman, why are you this stingy.
I’m just casually talking about it, so why did you act so viciously towards me?

“You…”

Lou Mu Yan furrowed her brows and considered whether to block the mouth of this gaudy person.
He was even noisier than Bing Ji.

She didn’t realise it herself, but the act of immobilising Si Nan shocked everyone in the store.

Si Nan wasn’t only the leader of an elite team of a superpower kingdom, but his cultivation base was also at Peak-Phase Sword Monarch.
It was simply too frightening that this woman could use a hidden weapon to immobilise him.

Luo Li blinked and turned around, nudging Lou Mu Yan’s arm, “How did you freeze him?”

This was too amazing.
How did he not know that Lou Mu Yan had this sort of skill.

Lou Mu Yan turned her head, smiled, and blinked, “Would you like to try it too?”

Luo Li shuddered and laughed dryly: “Forget it, let Si Nan, this cheap thing, enjoy himself.”

Si Nan’s teammates were completely stunned.
An Alchemist quickly walked up to him to check.

Lou Mu Yan turned her head and asked the shopkeeper with a smile: “Your pill store doesn’t accept pills?”

According to her understanding, all pill shops on Tian’ling Continent not only sold pills, but also bought pills.
The stores under the Smithing Pavilion also sold Magic Tools and bought Magic Tools.

It was just that because the reputations of the Pill Tower and the Smithing Pavilion were so resonant, so there were basically no Sword Masters who would come to the Pill Tower or Smithing Pavilion to sell pills or Magic Tools.
Therefore Lou Mu Yan’s move of wanting to exchange pills for Spiritual Herbs would attract Si Nan’s mockery.

“Accept, of course we accept.” The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then immediately returned to his senses.
He was also a little cautious of this woman who seemed to have a low cultivation base.
He sure didn’t forget that Si Nan, who’s cultivation base was at Sword Monarch, was frozen by a single needle.

“I wonder what kind of pill Young Miss wants to use to trade?”

In fact, he also had no clue.
When Lou Mu Yan wanted to trade pills for Spiritual Herbs, he also had the same thoughts as Si Nan, but he just didn’t say it—that she was showing off skills in front of experts.

But after what happened just now, using a single golden needle to restrain Si Nan, it showed that she hid things deeply, and probably also did that on purpose to show him and the others, using it to awe them.

Now he sure wanted to see what kind of pill she could take out to exchange for those Spiritual Herbs.

Lou Mu Yan took out two porcelain bottles from her interspatial ring and introduced: “There are two kinds of Grade 3 pills here.
One of them is called Elemental Nourishing Pill, which can nourish one’s Elemental Energy and consolidate one’s origins, improving one’s cultivation base.
Its effect is similar to the Elemental Condensing Pill of the Pill Tower; the other kind of pill is called the Spiritual Energy Recovery Pill.
A Sword Master at Sword Monarch cultivation base can use one and it will restore at least two-thirds of their body’s Elemental Energy.”

“What?” The shopkeeper revealed disbelief after hearing her introduction.

How could that be possible? The Elemental Nourishing Pill that had a similar effect to the Elemental Condensing Pill was already surprising, but the effect of the Spiritual Energy Recovery Pill was simply too miraculous that he couldn’t help but doubt.

“Shopkeeper, if you take a closer look, wouldn’t you know.” Lou Mu Yan handed the two porcelain bottles to the shopkeeper and said with a light smile.

The shopkeeper took the bottles and opened one of them.
A gentle, refreshing medicinal fragrance emanated from the bottle that filled the surroundings in just a few breaths.
Its fragrance wasn’t even outdone by the Elemental Condensing Pill.

With a nervous expression, he instantly closed the bottle cap and opened the other bottle.
The medicinal fragrance exuded this time was clear and sweet, and just by smelling it, it made people feel that their Elemental Energy was being replenished.

“Young Miss’s pills cannot be judged by this one.
May I ask an Appraiser of this Tower to appraise it?” The shopkeeper put the cap back onto the other bottle and looked at Lou Mu Yan carefully, asking.

At this moment, all the doubts in the shopkeeper’s heart had dissipated, and he had a little more respect for Lou Mu Yan who was able to take out such pills.

“Sure, take it.” Lou Mu Yan nodded: “But please hurry, I have something to do tonight.”

“Yes, please wait a moment, Young Miss.” After speaking, the shopkeeper hurried up to the second floor.

And at this time, the Sword Masters who were buying pills and Spiritual Herbs from the Pill Tower looked at Lou Mu Yan with various gazes, completely different from the previous.

Si Nan’s body also recovered from paralysis at this time, and he also smelled the medicinal fragrance of the two pills.

He was certain that the pill called ‘Elemental Nourishing Pill’ was definitely even more effective than Peerless-Quality Elemental Condensing Pills.
That Spiritual Energy Recovery Pill that had never been heard of before was even more extraordinary.

Moving his numb body a bit, he leaned in beside Lou Mu Yan with a gaudy smile and cupped his hands: “Young Miss Lou’s golden needle skill is indeed truly extraordinary, Si Nan truly admires!”

Lou Mu Yan took a step back and looked at Si Nan, who had approached her, with disgust, raised an eyebrow and asked Luo Li: “He’s not sick is he?”
