Chapter 26: Selling Medicine

  Yeah, I'll increase the update amount starting next week.

  "Alright, I'll accept half of it for now. You must pay the other half within a month." The old man nodded in agreement.

  He took out the only 25 gold coins left on his body, and Lin Wu handed them over with some reluctance. "Well, magic weapons are indeed something that only rich people can afford to play with."

  "Alright, scram, come back tomorrow for it." Having received the money, the old man couldn't wait to shoo him away.

  "Cut, see money open eyes." Lin Wu muttered and left the old man's store.

  On the road, Lin Wu decided whether he should think of a way to make some money. Having no money was really painful. "Hmmm, I heard that the Hawthorn family is very wealthy... No, no, no, how could I have such thoughts?" Lin Wu shook his head and waved away the idea in his mind.

  At this time, Lin Wu suddenly caught sight of a magnificent building. At the entrance of the building, golden roses shone with golden light, "Auction House." Lin Wu stared at the words under the golden rose.

  "Hmm, why don't we go sell some medicine for money?" Lin Wu suddenly had an idea.

  Thinking of this, Lin Wu arrived at a deserted place and put on a large black robe that could cover his head.

  "Sir, are you here to sell items or auction them off?" the maid asked the figure clad in black.

  "Selling things." Lin Wu said in a low voice.

  "Then please follow me," said the maid, leading Lin Wu to a counter. "Please hand over the items you want to auction to our appraiser for pricing."

  "Mm." He nodded, and Lin Wu took out two vials of medicine from his wide black robes, one red and one blue. These were things that Lin Wu had taken out beforehand, after all, spatial items in this world weren't as rare as phoenix feathers or unicorn horns, but they were still extremely precious items.

  Hand over the two medicines to the old man on the counter, who had been staring at them tightly since Lin Wu took out the two medicines. After taking Lin Wu's medicine, the old man hastily took out a set of tools for testing.

  Finally, the old man looked deeply at Lin Wu, who was shrouded in a black robe, and said: "Life potions and magic potions can instantly restore injuries and depleted magic, although the amount of recovery is not great, but they win in terms of speed, and are extremely valuable."

  The old man's words made the others in the auction house look at each other, this medicine that can instantly restore magic and injuries is almost equal to a life, think about it, two swordsmen with similar strength fighting each other until they are both seriously injured, if one of them can get this medicine and quickly recover from some injuries, it will decide the outcome of the battle. For mages, the effect is even more obvious, magic power is everything for a mage, so the medicine that restores magic power is more precious than anything else.

  "Cough cough, this old man has a point that I must make clear, the magic potion can not only restore magic power but also restore Dou Qi." Lin Wu said in a low voice.

  "What!!" The old man was shocked upon hearing this and hastily said: "This is indeed true."

  "That's right." Lin Wu nodded, "The old man can try it out."

  Upon hearing this, the old man pointed at a nearby guard and said, "You come over here."

  The old man then took out a bit of the magical potion from that bottle and dissolved it in water. He said to the guard, "Drink this."

  The guard drank the light blue potion without hesitation, which made Lin Wu exclaim in admiration: "As expected of a large family, this guard is indeed loyal and actually dared to drink this medicine." To know that ordinary magic potions can only provide magic power, only effective for magicians, while swordsmen who drink it will conflict with the aura, and the consequences are unpredictable.

  The guard drank down the diluted magic potion and suddenly lit up his eyes. Seeing this old man busy asking, "How?"

  "Reporting back to Master, after drinking that medicine, I felt the internal Qi in my body recovering somewhat, nothing else unusual." The guard said in a low voice.

  "Alright, you can go now. Later, go and collect the 10 gold coins as a reward." The old man nodded and said. The guard retreated with joy all over his face, 10 gold coins, this was several years' worth of salary for him.

  The old man quickly signed out a document and handed it to Lin Wu, saying: "Your medicine is indeed extraordinary. These two bottles of medicine will be auctioned off at the monthly auction house at the end of this month. At that time, you can use this document to collect the proceeds from the auction."

  "Hmm." Lin Wu nodded and immediately left the auction house.

  Lin Wu walked out of the auction house and put away the black robe into his cuff in a secluded place, then turned around and left.

  He took out two copper coins to buy a few steamed buns, solving his lunch problem. Lin Wu felt like crying but had no tears left. Now he only had a few copper coins left on him. Although the Rose family provided food and lodging, having no money on him always made him feel uncomfortable.

  After finishing his mantou, Lin Wu strolled around and arrived at the most luxurious and powerful academy in the Purple Forbidden Kingdom, the Imperial Academy of Zijing. Alice was studying in this very academy. Looking at the majestic entrance, Lin Wu suddenly felt that he knew too little about this world, so he decided to go to the academy to read some books and gain a deeper understanding.

  Lin Wu then stepped into the Imperial Academy of Violet Jing, and after taking out the Rose Family Guard's badge, the gatekeeper didn't stop him.

  Looking at the young apprentice swordsmen and magic students coming and going, Lin Wu felt very familiar. "This is what school feels like."

  Just as Lin Wu was strolling through the beautiful campus, a loud and clear voice suddenly came from in front of him: "Who among you dares to disobey?!"

  "Huh?" Upon hearing that familiar voice, Lin Wu was taken aback: "Isn't this that little girl Alice?"

  As he spoke, Lin Wu quickly ran towards the source of the sound. Before long, a large crowd had gathered there. Lin Wu squeezed through and took a look, only to find Alice scolding several well-dressed men severely.

  "What's going on?" Lin Wu whispered to a young man beside him.

  "What else could have happened? Those guys were teasing girls and got caught by Xiaomo, so it's a tragedy." The young man said.

  "Oh, so that's what you call doing a good deed!" Lin Wu exclaimed in surprise, and it turned out that Alice wasn't as mischievous as he had heard.

  "Classmate, you're so young." Upon hearing Lin Wu's words and seeing his youthful face, the young man patted Lin Wu's shoulder and said with a heavy heart: "Do you know, classmate, that there are at least several hundred traps set up by Little Demon Girl throughout the entire academy? What's even more tragic is that if you encounter Little Demon Girl and fall into one of her traps right in front of me, I'll still have to pretend to be completely unaware and step on it."

  "What's wrong?" Lin Wu widened his eyes, wasn't this looking for trouble?

  "Who would have thought, if you don't do this, the little witch will find you and deliberately set a trap for you until you fall into it. To avoid trouble, I'd better take the initiative." The young man had a miserable look as if recalling an unpleasant past event.

  Upon hearing this, Lin Wu couldn't help but reevaluate Alice, who was now excitedly rendering her fair verdict to those guys who had been teasing the girls.

  Seeing those guys' miserable faces, I knew Alice had come up with some wicked idea again. After announcing the crimes of those guys, Alice also saw Lin Wu.
