Chapter 5 Alley Cry(1/2)

The streets of Wutan City were still very lively, and shouts kept echoing in Lin Fan's ears.

"What bad luck!"

Lin Fan came out of a medicine shop again, cursing even more.

Maybe it was because of his bad mood that Lin Fan's luck was not very good.

I went to several herbal medicine stores and was told that Purple Spirit Grass was sold out.

The medicine store behind him was already the sixth one he had visited.

"Hey~ It feels so unpleasant to be dependent on someone else!

But what can be done?"

Lin Fan sighed and could only continue to look for purple spirit grass in other medicinal stores.

After turning several corners on the spacious street, Lin Fan found another medicinal shop.

"Shopkeeper, I need a purple spirit grass."

Lin Fan shouted directly as soon as he walked into the medicine store.

"Purple spirit grass?"

"Yeah, they won't be sold out again!"

Lin Fan couldn't help but feel unhappy again. This was already the seventh family. He really didn't know why this purple spirit grass had become a scarce commodity.

"It is indeed sold out, but the new batch of Purple Spirit Grass is already on its way. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait a while, but the price is..."

The shopkeeper of the medicine store twisted his slightly bloated body and squeezed out from behind the counter with difficulty. Then he raised his hand with a sneer on his face, pinched his thumb and index finger and rubbed them together.

"Depend on!"

How could Lin Fan not understand this internationally accepted gesture? This is the rhythm of raising the price on the ground, but to Lin Fan, this is obviously nothing, because what he spent was not his own money in the first place.

"Tell me how much it will cost."

"Brother is really understanding."

The shopkeeper of the medicine shop gave Lin Fan a thumbs up, and then introduced him with an attentive look: "Purple Spirit Grass is in short supply right now. I'm not bragging. You can't buy it anywhere else in Wutan City except me.

Yes, so thirty more gold coins isn’t too much, right?”

"Let the medicine delivery be faster.

When you’re done, just go to Temir Auction House and get the money.”

Lin Fan took out a sign, shook it, and said casually.

"Hehe, that's very good, very good."

His eyes glanced at the sign in Lin Fan's hand. The shopkeeper's mouth twitched. Although he said it was very good, he was surprised in his heart.

"That brand is the exclusive identity plate of Temir Auction House. I have long heard that Temir Auction House is very wealthy and would spend an extra thirty gold coins to buy a purple spirit grass without blinking an eye.

Although I don’t know who this young man is, it must be something special for someone who can get the exclusive identity card of Temir Auction House.”

After putting away the sign, Lin Fan stopped talking and sat on the chair and waited quietly.

The shopkeeper also smiled flatteringly and handed over tea and snacks.

"Shopkeeper, how do you recover if a person's soul is injured?"

With nothing to do, Lin Fan thought of the Ghost Emperor of Underworld.

Ever since he knew that Xiao Yan had discovered Yao Lao, Lin Fan wanted to find a medicinal plant that could restore his soul, and then wake up the Ghost Emperor of Underworld and give him a good scolding.

What bullshit "Soul Eater" is, it's completely useless.

Of course, Lin Fan would not be stupid enough to try to restore the opponent's full strength.

Having read countless books, he naturally understood that although the old man was a liar, he was still a being who dared to claim to be the Ghost Emperor. Once the other party recovered his cultivation, he might be overtaken by him in the first place. At that time, he would not be dead.

It’s warped!

“Restore the soul, never heard of it!

You Temir Auction House don’t even know about it, let alone my small drugstore.

The shopkeeper shook his head, looking embarrassed.

When Lin Fan heard this, he didn't ask any more questions. According to the records in the book, that kind of thing is indeed a genius treasure. Without a chance, it is really difficult to find.

After that, Lin Fan talked with the shopkeeper about other things, such as Xiao Yan from Wutan City, and the Jialie family who wanted to annex the Xiao family...

Two hours later...

"Shopkeeper, can you hurry up?"

"Brother, don't worry, I'll be there soon, I'll be there soon."

Another two hours passed...

"Shopkeeper, can you deliver it?"

"I'll go out and take a look. Brother, wait a moment."

I don't know how many hours passed, but the medicine delivery man finally came back in a hurry.

"Brother, wake up, wake up.

Purple Spirit Grass is here!"

The medicine shop owner's fat hands rested on Lin Fan's shoulders, shaking them gently.

"Did it arrive?"

Lin Fan opened his hazy sleepy eyes and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.

.....................

At the entrance of the medicine store, Lin Fan looked at the stars in the sky and felt even more depressed.

Just buying a purple spirit grass actually took a whole day.

But luckily I bought it.

Shaking his head, Lin Fan stopped thinking and turned around and walked into the night...

Compared to the hustle and bustle during the day, Wutan City at night is on the other extreme. Everything is dark and the few lights are extremely dim.

Due to the lack of light, Lin Fan awkwardly walked into a dead end.

"Damn it, is it necessary to play with me like this?

Depend on!"

Lin Fan stood there and cursed angrily, feeling even more unhappy because he found that he was actually lost.

"Hey..."

Suddenly, an extremely cold voice came from behind, making Lin Fan tremble so hard that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

After calming down, Lin Fan turned his head slightly, but was shocked to find that a dark figure appeared on the path at the entrance of the alley. He was walking back and forth.

"ghost?"

This was Lin Fan's first reaction. As soon as this thought appeared, he could no longer erase it.

In an instant, Lin Fan's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his back was gradually soaked with sweat. He stood there numbly watching the figures walking back and forth at the entrance of the alley, and his legs began to tremble.

Although I have interacted with him countless times in TV movies, when I actually saw it, I still had a creepy feeling.

"Tai Shang Laojun, Tathagata Buddha, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie... please appear soon."

I asked all the gods and Buddhas in the sky in my heart, but the frightening feeling still spread all over my body, unabated.

Then, the body walking back and forth seemed to have discovered Lin Fan, and suddenly stopped, turned around slowly, and walked towards Lin Fan step by step.

The figure walked very slowly.

For Lin Fan, this was more like torture.

The ordeal of facing death.

Death is not scary.

The scary thing is waiting to die.

Lin Fan was highly concentrated, staring at the figure slowly approaching him step by step, not daring to breathe.

As he got closer, Lin Fan finally saw clearly that it was a middle-aged man wearing gray attire.

"Don't you know that scaring people can scare them to death?"

Lin Fan patted his chest and let out a long breath, "A man, what kind of alley scares are you doing in the middle of the night?"

The middle-aged man remained silent, but slowly raised his head to look at Zhang Fan. Their eyes briefly met, and Lin Fan couldn't help but shudder again.

Because he discovered that the middle-aged man's eyes turned out to be two extremely dark holes with no eyeballs.

"You...are...the first...person...who can...see...me..."
To be continued...
