CHAPTER 11: GRANDPA HAS RETURNED
After accepting, Apothecary Gu gave them some directions, before sending them out.
Apothecary Gu called his slaves to provide him with medicine and take care of the couple's daughter in the meantime.
The couple left the place. Although they noticed Adrian, he didn't give them any importance.
When they left. Adrián entered the store of the Gu Apothecary. Who was just an old man. The place smelled of medicine, and there were the occasional pills, although I didn't know what they were for.
Apothecary Gu had noticed Adrian long before, so he was not surprised that he came in.
"Are you looking for something child?" asked Apothecary Gu, he could see the slave mark on Adrian's neck, but that came often. After all, he was a merchant.
"I can get those plants too" – Adrián spoke, his expression was still the same as always, and his words were simple.
"And what do you want in return?" – Apothecary Gu simply smiled at Child Adrian's proposal, after all, it was business.
"I want a purifying pill, the others I will exchange for coins" – Adrián spoke decisively.
Apothecary Gu just gave a small laugh.
"Done" – He said those words, as he walked to the back of his tent.
Adrián also came out, he had heard very well the previous words of the Boticario Gu, when he explained to the couple, in addition to having seen the images. So I had an idea of what I was looking for.
The forbidden city, Adrián had grown up in one of them. Therefore, this was his only way to obtain such pills and be able to continue cultivating.
As he collected his thoughts, he walked away from the city, returning to the forest.
The bear's body lay dead on one side, and several of the hunters' bodies were scattered all over the place. Adrian was still a human, but he needed to open a new opening, this time he chose his right leg. He had already picked up his cultivation manual.
He began his cultivation again, absorbing the bear's carcass and collecting the arrows. He thought about it a lot when he saw the bodies of humans, but he still did, even though several days passed, their bodies still gave off spiritual energy.
After he finished, he put several stones around, placing a grave for everyone who died fighting with the bear. At least that would make up for what he did with their bodies.
Although he also collected several coins, there were about fifty in total. It wasn't much, but I knew I couldn't waste the money I could find.
After hiding the cultivation manual, he returned to the ranch.
When he returned he found young Ma sleeping on a chair with his feet resting on a railing of the house.
Adrian did not think of killing him, although he felt greedy in his gaze, it was only towards his objects. He never felt any other intentions. After sighing, I go back into the house.
He needs to reorganize his things, in addition to buying new ropes, he had used many on his way to this city. I also contemplate the option of buying a bow. But, I didn't know how much they cost. For the moment he organized all his luggage.
The dagger even though a lot of time passed, it hadn't deteriorated much, his father had given it to him, he had told him that it was a family treasure. So I treasured it quite a bit.
His wooden sword, although it could inject large amounts of Qi, he still couldn't control it, he could only use it as one of his traps, even if he wielded it he couldn't cut anything. Unless it was launched at a high speed.
So he needed the ropes, he had become accustomed to always carrying them with him, he felt better with them on him. So he then went back to the commercial place of the city.
I pass by again, look at some prices. Even in a blacksmith's shop, where there were several weapons, including a bow.
"420 Coins" – It was a white bow, larger than Adrian's body, according to his specifications, the bones of a beast of the second level of Qi condensation were used to make it. So it had great strength and was very light.
All this he could only hear from afar. So for the moment he played it safe.
I pass by many shops, until it was night.
Adrian returned to the ranch, with several meters of ropes around his body. In total he had spent 30 coins. But this was enough to secure his life. This rope was green, it had been made with the sinew of beasts that had not yet awakened his spirituality.
Therefore, it was more resistant than common ropes.
As he returned, towards the ranch.
Adrián saw that the house was lit up, as if they were celebrating. He also saw several men sitting outside the house, all of them showing hostile expressions, and their gazes were fierce, as if they had gone through great catastrophes. He could even sense that one of them was very powerful.
Adrian only looked at them from afar, before walking away, and returning to the ranch on the forest side.
When he returned by the forest side, Young Ma had already woken up and was walking around with an anxious expression.
"Grandpa is back, Grandpa is back, but he didn't say he'd be back in two days" – That was what he said, as if he couldn't believe what he'd seen.
When he heard it, Adrian knew why there were so many people outside the house, it seemed that Grandpa was not someone normal.
