Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1521 - 677: Familiar Yet Unfamiliar

"... "

Silence.

Still silence.

The merchants and townsfolk who witnessed this scene all fell into silence.

Only Fang Yu turned around calmly and walked towards the tent, leaving behind a sentence.

"Pack up, get ready to hit the road."

His casual attitude was as if he had just killed a stray dog on the roadside, light and indifferent.

Confusion, bewilderment, and fear.

Looking at the Lin family’s young lady who had become a corpse, no one dared to speak up.

This secret was destined to rot in everyone’s stomachs.

Otherwise, if the news got out, no one would be able to bear the consequences!

Unlike those powerful Martial Artists with the ability to journey abroad,

Most ordinary people spend their entire lives just living in their homeland.

At present, due to the great upheaval in their homeland, Thunder City, they were forced to flee.

It was only because they had a strong leader that they had the opportunity to trek across the wilderness to other towns.

If they found a new place to settle, they would basically never leave the town again.

With such poor mobility, if the news of killing the Lin family’s young lady got out and they were pursued by the Lin family, they would be dead!

Everyone knew that this news absolutely could not be shared.

The Lin family’s young lady died in the wild, at the hands of demons or assassins, it had nothing to do with them.

But if it was known she died within their group, everything would be over.

Everyone understood this too well and hoped that this news would be buried in their hearts forever.

But... who can say for sure?

There were too many people.

Too many people witnessed this scene, saw this scene, knew about this matter.

With so many people present, if even one let the news slip, everyone would be implicated!

The merchants’ faces were very unsightly, one could say extremely somber.

They followed Fang Yu for protection.

Instead, they got themselves into trouble.

Right now, turning against Fang Yu was absolutely impossible.

Without the protection of a strong figure, their chances of safely reaching the next town were uncertain.

However, once they safely entered a town...

The merchants’ minds were racing, their brains working quickly.

They couldn’t personally kill, but when it came to plotting and strategy, they were quite adept.

If something couldn’t be avoided, they would just pass the blame onto someone else.

If ordinary people tried something like this, they might not know where to start in haste.

But these merchants were quite skilled in rumormongering and spreading information.

Having run through their plans mentally, many merchants on-site had already calmed down.

Only those ignorant and powerless refugees continued to chatter incessantly, arguing endlessly.

With such a lack of discipline and disarray, it was almost impossible to keep their mouths shut.

The news leak was destined to be unavoidable.

The merchants thought long and hard.

But compared to Fang Yu’s side, things were much simpler.

He gave orders, did a quick check of the casualties, and then had the team set off.

"Da Liang City? I’ve heard Da Liang City produces a secret medicine called [Blood-cooling Pill]. This pill can unleash potential, suppress pain, and cool the blood, allowing the user to ignore pain in a life-and-death battle and transform into a cold-blooded warrior. For me, the pill’s effect is mediocre, but one special medicinal material used in its production is particularly unique, known as Withered Heart Cold, exclusively grown by the Lin family of Da Liang City! This item is quite effective in saving Song Xi."

In Ding Hui’s eyes, the common people in the team were just burdens, the least valuable thing, and if they died, they died, she didn’t care.

What she cared about was something else.

Fang Yu frowned slightly.

"You want to go to Da Liang City to buy Withered Heart Cold?"

"What do you mean I want to?"

Ding Hui rolled her eyes and took out something that looked like a radish leaf, with both the leaf and stalk appearing ashen white as if ready to crumble at a touch.

"We have it ourselves!"

Fang Yu was suddenly a bit confused.

"Huh? We have Withered Heart Cold? Didn’t you say it’s exclusively cultivated by the Lin family in Da Liang City...?"

"Of course, this thing can only be cultivated by the Lin family in Da Liang City. But I never said it was something the Lin family only recently came up with."

"What do you mean?"

Ding Hui shook the Withered Heart Cold, looking like a bunch of withered vegetable leaves, in her hand.

"This thing, the Lin family’s annual production isn’t small. Since they succeeded in cultivation, they haven’t stopped selling it externally. Over the years, not just the surrounding towns, even in the Capital, there are probably quite a few in stock. Otherwise, how do you think the Lin family developed so quickly to become the overlord of Da Liang City."

Initially, it was rare and precious.

But once too much is sold out, the price drops, and its rarity greatly diminishes.

Anything, as long as it’s not a wild, non-renewable resource, can have its production increased through cultivation.

The Lin family of Da Liang City is still hoping to uphold their ’City Lord’ status with this single pillar industry, so naturally, they’re selling more vigorously.

"And the Blood-cooling Pill..."

Fang Yu immediately thought of something.

"The Blood-cooling Pill is something concocted by those incompetent doctors of the Lin family, who can’t make anything substantial even with good materials. After finally coming up with an exclusive pill, they want to recreate the former glory of Withered Heart Cold."

"But unfortunately, those who buy into the Blood-cooling Pill are primarily native forces of Da Liang City, while outsiders almost never buy this stuff."
