Chapter 195 Hurricane

...

On the contrary, Yan Xiaobao got off the carriage after passing through the city wall and quickly slid into the crowds of people running through the busy streets. He was currently wearing shabby clothes from his hometown, with his hair tied under a bamboo conical hat.

The hat was created by Yan Xiaobao during his college years. It was inspired by the conical hat used throughout South Asia. Its current purpose is not to block the sun, but to cover up Yan Xiaobao's unusual characteristics.

Yan Xiaobao walked past the streets one by one, slowly heading towards the city center, where most market squares were here. Although Yan Xiaobao could easily come here if he stayed in the carriage, he also knew that he would get incredible attention because everyone in the city could recognize that the carriage belonged to the City Lord Building.

As Yan Xiaobao took to the streets, he also took the time to observe and analyze the different shops. The suburbs of the city are mainly residential areas, where the large buildings are very similar to the city lord's building, although they belong to various aristocratic families.

Between these home yards are exquisite roads leading to the city center, and all the roads used for noble families are usually beautiful mansions on both sides, belonging to wealthier merchants or merchants. Some of them belong to guards or mercenaries who have succeeded in their practice. These houses are considered middleclass, and they all have their own yards and outbuildings.

The south of the city lacks mansions of the great nobles and middle-class people, but is filled with narrow streets made of stamped soil, with small sheds next to each other and crowded with each other. Some have only one floor, others have a house on their roofs.

This area belongs to the poorest of citizens, who can do whatever job they can get. Some work as cleaners throughout the city, while others enter rice fields and serve as seasonal staff.

Gao Yan came from these areas, and so did his friends. Lord Rongliang opened a martial arts school and allowed their children to raise them to obtain a stable income for himself and his family, and the families here gained hope in their daily lives.

Yan Xiaobao quickly walked through these areas, and as he got closer to the center, he also saw different markets throughout the city. These markets were fenced and had several entrances. These entrances were managed by some guards wearing seals of different noble families.

It was obvious that the market was owned by the noble family, and the stores in the store had to pay taxes to allow operation. Yan Xiaobao glanced at these markets, but he quickly decided not to enter.

First, he is currently wearing poor clothes, which makes him look like a poor civilian and is unlikely to be allowed to enter. Second, stores on the market may pay less when purchasing items because they have to pay taxes to the nobles.

Yan Xiaobao kept walking down the street, looking for a shop that could sell medicine. Almost after reaching the west gate, he saw a small walk, a student hurriedly left a shop, his hands clutching his chest tightly, constantly watching the fourth time and coming back.

Yan Xiaobao looked at the boy and sighed. It was obvious that he was carrying valuables and his current attitude was eye-catching. Yan Xiaobao was quite sure that the boy would not go home without being robbed.

Unfortunately, when the boy saw Yan Xiaobao, his eyes became bigger and bigger, while the other side of him jumped up, his legs were so fast that he could hold him back. Yan Xiaobao looked at the boy who was retreating, and he couldn't help but notice the entertainment scene, and his lips chuckled gently. However, he didn't have time to observe the boy, but took off his hat before facing the shop in front of him.

It was a small shed that seemed to have withstood the hurricane. The ceiling was filled with holes, and the nameplate on the door hung from a corner, blown by the breeze on the narrow streets.

The big letters of "Da Yao Rong Kaijian" are written on it, but the paint on the name has fallen off, and several letters are almost unreadable.

At first glance, Yan Xiaobao felt that the store was too poor and could not afford his pills, but when he saw another student grabbing his chest, Yan Xiaobao decided to enter and give it a try.

Yan Xiaobao quickly took off his hat and let his hair fall off. A white mist appeared in his eyes, replaced by a birth suitable for ten years.

He hesitated for a moment, and Yan Xiaobao walked into the store slowly. At first everything was dark. There was no light in the store, and the only light source entered through the door frame from the outside street.

The dull light made Yan Xiaobao see the cabinets and counters made of glass, which were once medicinal materials. Some cabinets were empty, but the several plants that the Yubao saw had long been exhausted or withered due to inappropriate treatment.

Everything in the room was filled with dust and dirt, which clearly showed that for a long time nothing had been touched. The only thing without dust was the glass counter.

The room was small, with only a few children to adapt, and no one else was present. Behind the counter was an open doorway leading to another dark room, a strong fragrance emitting. This smell was not as clear or healthy as the pills that Yan Xiaobao's father usually brought home, nor did it smell sweet or tempting like the pills he obtained the night before. The strong smell made Yan Xiaobao slightly drowsy, but his breathing was much faster than usual.

Suddenly, a sound could be heard in the room and a shadow appeared at the door. Yan Xiaobao focused his eyes on the shadows. When the shadows became humans, he couldn't help but narrow them down.

This woman is as unusual as Yan Xiaobao. Yan Xiaobao's hair is as white as Xindao's snow, but this woman has golden hair, which reminds him of the layered sunshine. The curly curls make up her face, and her eyes are golden hazelnut brown. When Yan Xiaobao looked at these eyes, he felt that his soul was attracted by him, and a wisdom that was not suitable for her appearance was hidden below.

After a few hours, Yan Xiaobao was unable to breathe, his eyes gradually grew bigger and he lost control of his body. A feeling of weakness washed away his body, but once it appeared, it disappeared because the woman blinked.

Her body was well developed. Yan Xiaobao thought she was about twenty years old, but her eyes looked very old, and Yan Xiaobao immediately regretted entering the store.

"Is there anything I can do to help you?" the woman asked in a friendly voice, then she walked to the counter, leaned against the glass, and looked at Yan Xiaobao with great enthusiasm.

Yan Xiaobao felt how Lan Feng hid himself, just like when the two met Lord Rong Liang, when he quickly took out the jade from his pocket, alertness appeared in his eyes.

This transaction must be completed as soon as possible.

"I heard from friends that you might buy pills," Yan Xiaobao said quickly, but he did not approach the counter and the woman. There was always a sense of danger in his mind, and although he managed to defeat the urge to escape immediately, he still did not manage to convince himself to move forward.

When she saw the alertness in Yan Xiaobao's eyes, the smile on the woman's face became bigger and bigger. She waved her hand, causing Yu to fly quickly towards her hand. Yan Xiaobao's flow, whose speed had even improved, could not stop it.

The woman ignored the glimmer of worry in Yan Xiaobao's eyes, but smelled the spreading medicinal scent and opened the jade in her hand. Then, her eyebrows frowned slightly, then nodded again, then sealed the lid again, and threw the jade into the room behind her.

When colliding with other items, a huge clicking sound might be heard, but the lady didn't seem to care about the sudden sound. Instead, she grabbed a memory stone from her belt and took a large sack of sacks from the memory stone. When she heard the sound of metal scratching each other, she could hear Yan Xiaobao guessing that it was a wallet.

Yan Xiaobao knew that memory stones were used as storage tools, but they were much more expensive than ordinary memory stones, so although the store seemed to have been destroyed, it was obvious that this woman was not just a poor pharmacist.

The lady did not remove her eyes from Yan Xiaobao because she put her slender hands into her bag, took out a few coins, and handed them to the white-haired boy. Without looking at the coins, Yan Xiaobao bowed gently to the woman and immediately left the store. He felt as if he was too late and he would be plundered by a powerful beast.

Outside the store, Yan Xiaobao put on a conical hat again, then rushed into a more trafficked road, and slid into the abortion of four people and the back row.

Yan Xiaobao walked for a while and found another narrow street. He sat in the dark and looked at his hands, shocked to see that the woman gave him three silver coins.

The currency in this new world is very similar to his previous currency. It takes one hundred copper coins to obtain a silver coin, and one gold coin requires one hundred silver coins. The above gold coins require a thousand gold coins.

Although the pills are very expensive, the three silver coins are very expensive for the chew pills. These pills were created by all apprentice alchemists who need to be energetic when practicing, so the pills that the Royal Academy rewards students are considered quite normal.

It is usually equivalent to one silver coin, maybe two, but the woman has paid him three. This generosity makes Yan Xiaobao dissatisfied and makes him even more worried. This is obviously a gesture to lure him back to her shop next month, but when Huiya packs up the coins and returns to the crowd, Yan Xiaobao smiles slightly. He has no intention of returning next month.

‘Smart’, Lan Feng agreed to be satisfied, ‘Although that woman wanted to seduce you, she did not scan you with her spiritual consciousness, nor did Wu Wei. She had no way to notice me, but in the future I would recommend that we not approach her. She was obviously not as simple as people imagined.”

Yan Xiaobao nodded when he walked to a store specializing in memory stones. The next part of their plan, and the most important part, is about to be executed.

In a broken shop, a blonde woman who was still standing on the counter was back here. A bright smile appeared on her face, a shimmer of light in her brown eyes that had never appeared. An image of a young white-haired child appeared in her mind as the woman looked out the window, and a burst of laughter spilled over her lips as she turned to the dark room behind.

The sun was towering into the clouds, and the streets were bathed in the sun, and the hot heat caused the turbulent hot air to rise from the hot roads. Every street and road was filled with bustling people, passing through a large number of citizens.

A little white-haired boy was slipping away from these busy adults, moving in a smooth manner that made him much faster than the rushing adults, but no one seemed to notice the young man.

The young man was obviously Yan Xiaobao. He had visited a store specializing in memory stones, but the owner immediately threw him out because he believed that the young child was a poor civilian who wanted to steal his goods.

Xiaoyao had three silver coins in his hand, but although Yan Xiaobao obtained the coins in a legal way, he knew it would be better to take them out. The shop owner had already determined that Yan Xiaobao was a criminal, and a poor child with three silver coins obviously stole them from a wealthy citizen. In turn, taking them away from a sneaky child would not cause any trouble.

This made Yan Xiaobao no longer linger, but returned to the street where he disappeared among the masses.

"Let's go to a hotel," Lan Feng said in a carefree voice, remembering the extra coins they received. Purchasing two memory stones did not seem to be a problem, and the two needed a place to sit down and complete their plans again. The sales of the drug took longer than expected, and although Yan Xiaobao had a whole day to use, he still needed to visit the city lord's mansion later in the day.

Walking through the bustling streets, Yan Xiaobao quickly found a big hotel. He ordered a standard room for the price of several copper coins. After arriving at the room, Yan Xiaobao slowly opened his bag and took out a few items.

The first thing that fell into Yan Xiaobao's hands was a smooth piece of fabric. This was a high-quality robe he had given earlier by his village when he left.

Yan Xiaobao realized that he could not wear a robe unless he wanted to bring leadership to his people, but he pulled up the blue trousers and shirts placed under the robe. These two clothes should be quite neutral, not something he had seen before.

After changing the clothes to a blue suit, carefully put the white robe back into the old bag and took out the conical hat. This hat was made by Yan Xiaobao in his spare time at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and was made of bamboo shoots he found in the yard.

This conical hat was inspired by the conical hat used in the Old World, but unlike those, this hat should not protect him from the sun and rain, but keep his face hidden. He took this into consideration and while binding his hair to wear the hat, no one could see anything other than a smooth white chin and beautiful red lips.

Finally, Lan Feng took a deep breath and released his halo, allowing it to surround Yan Xiaobao. A breath of breath escaped from the shocked little boy, because he felt how the energy in his heart was released, causing the air to constantly shake around him. The energy layer protected the body, and they were like waves originating from the cave where Lan Feng was, and then rushed into the surroundings and finally dissolved.

In order to get close to Yan Xiaobao when the spiritual energy is active, it is necessary to be at least a king-level expert. Another option is that Lan Feng allows a person to enter the protective space, which in turn will benefit this person greatly from the excess energy ripples.

Yan Xiaobao himself could also feel how his cyclone surged in his body. It rotated at high speed like a hurricane, so that Yan Xiaobao could no longer see any qi silk, but saw a white tornado. He felt how the tornado continued to absorb and refine the halo released by the blue maple.

Although Yan Xiaobao did not enhance his strength, he still felt that his senses were sharper than before, because he walked out of the hotel. It seemed that Yan Xiaobao no longer walked like before, but was floating across the street.
