The group's beloved wife: She is the phoenix, she is the king

Chapter 176 Acquisition

A little kindness can bring endless power. ——Inscription

After the meal, Mu Bai insisted on following Fan Nuoxi and the others to the streets of the capital.

"I'm so bored staying in this villa all day. It's time for me to go out and get some fresh air." Mu Bai looked at Dongfang Junyan with complaint.

He seemed to be in a bad mood if he was not allowed to leave.

"Okay, I'll let you have some free time for a while. But you have to protect Nuoxi for me." Dongfang Junyan agreed reluctantly.

"Sister-in-law, let's go."

After getting Dongfang Junyan's consent, Mu Bai quickly went to Fan Nuoxi's side.

So Fan Nuoxi took Mu Bai, Meng Yujie and others in a carriage to the most prosperous street in the capital. Perhaps Dongfang Junyan was not very reassured, so he asked Dong Yu and Lin Feng to follow on horseback.

Although this street is the most prosperous place, due to the attacks in the past few days, many shops have their doors half-open or closed. There are very few pedestrians on the street, and the atmosphere is bleak everywhere.

The carriage finally stopped in front of a shop selling elixirs. As soon as they got off the carriage, Fan Nuoxi and his party were greeted by the shop owner, who had obviously greeted them in advance.

"My dear lady, I am sorry for not coming to greet you in person. Here is the store's account book, please take a look." The boss respectfully handed a stack of account books to Fan Nuoxi.

"Thank you, what's your name?" Fan Nuoxi took it.

"My name is Li Shang, you can just call me Xiao Li." Li Shang introduced himself in a naive manner.

But Li Shang looked much older than Fan Nuoxi, so she couldn't really call him by that name. But seeing that he was in good spirits, he should not have been affected by the grayish aura.

"Boss Li, could you give me a brief introduction to the recent situation in the store?"

"Then please come this way, and let me report to you."

Li Shang asked the people in the store to prepare tea first, and then led them to the meeting place in the store.

For a long time, Fan Nuoxi's fingers tapped lightly on the table beside him.

"You said that since the famine, the pills in the store have been stolen, and the efficacy is not as good as before? Even the newly refined ones are the same?"

"Everything I said is true, please understand."

"Can you take me to see the place where the elixir is made?"

"Please follow me."

Suddenly, the group came to a somewhat remote house.

"The room is a little messy, please forgive me." Li Shang opened the door apologetically.

The room was indeed a bit messy as Li Shang said, with some medicinal herbs placed randomly and a few small stools scattered here and there.

Only the alchemy furnace looked like it was real. The pitch-black bottom of the furnace proved that it was used relatively frequently.

But these were enough for Fan Nuoxi and Mu Bai to see some clues.

Fan Nuoxi looked at the scattered medicinal herbs with a very faint grayish-white smell lingering around them, her eyes slightly deep.

Mu Bai looked at the grayish-white air and was a little surprised, "Sister-in-law, that is..."

"Shh, let's talk outside."

Dong Yu and Lin Feng were also surprised and couldn't help but look at the room a few more times.

After leaving the alchemy room, Fan Nuoxi and his group went to see the well.

Fan Nuoxi used his spiritual power to draw up a bucket of water, and there was a grayish-white gas on the surface of the water.

"Do you use this well often?"

Fan Nuoxi poured the water into the well again and asked.

"Normally I only use it for cleaning, never for eating." Li Shang said truthfully.

"Don't use this water for now. I think I know what's going on."

"Put your hand out so I can see it."

Fan Nuoxi took Li Shang's pulse.

After some investigation, they found that there was only a small wisp of grayish-white air in Li Shang's body, but this was enough to attract attention.

Fan Nuoxi let Tuanzi swallow the grayish air silently.

"In the next few days, we will not be selling pills in the store. We will just be responsible for delivering some food to other people for free." Fan Nuoxi said after thinking for a while.

"You all need to be careful these few days. Do not drink the water from this well, and do not touch the medicinal herbs and pills."

Fan Nuoxi took out a spiritual ring and said, "There is a lot of food in this spiritual ring. You can send some out every day, and you can also eat some. After the food is delivered, return the spiritual ring to the courtyard for replenishment."

"And these are for you and other people in the store." Fan Nuoxi waved his sleeves, and several bottles of pills appeared in Fan Nuoxi's hand, and in the other hand were several bags of medium-grade spirit stones.

"Each of you should take one pill of this medicine every day. It can prevent you from being disturbed by the gray air and can also clear your mind and make you wise. This middle-grade spirit stone is your reward in advance."

"As you command." Li Shang happily took the things given by Fan Nuoxi.

Before leaving the store, Fan Nuoxi called everyone in the store together and cleared away the gray air for everyone else in the store.

Just as he walked out of the store, Fan Nuoxi noticed the jewelry store opposite.

A lot of things in the store have been packed up, and it looks like they are going to close the store.

Fan Nuoxi stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, is this store going to close?"

"It's really unfortunate that this girl came. I was planning to sell this thing. This Danqiu country is too scary for me. I can't stay here at all!" The shop owner looked around and said with some fear.

"Shop owner, why do you want to leave Danqiu Kingdom? This is the most prosperous street in Danqiu Kingdom." Fan Nuoxi was puzzled.

"Girl, I'll tell you the truth. Ever since the famine in Danqiu, I've wanted to leave here many times but couldn't. Once it gets dark, I don't remember what I did. When I wake up the next day, I'm in my shop again."

"It was only in these two days that I found that I could remember clearly what I did at night, so I wanted to leave quickly. I haven't seen my family for more than a month. If I had known this, I would not have come to Danqiu Country to venture out."

"Girl, judging from the way you are dressed, I don't think you are from Danqiu. You'd better leave now."

"Thanks for the reminder. Have you found a buyer for your store? If not, why don't you let me do you a favor and buy your store so that you can have some money for your journey home?" Fan Nuoxi pondered.

"Girl, are you serious? But if I hand over the store to you and you get into trouble, I will feel uneasy." The boss waved his hands when he heard this.

He was about to jump out of the fire pit. If he dragged others into the fire pit because of him, how could he leave with peace of mind?

"Shop owner, let me tell you the truth. The food you have been getting on the street these past two days was provided by me." Fan Nuoxi said softly with one hand to her mouth. Before she finished speaking, the boss knelt down.

"Girl, you are our great benefactor!" Upon hearing this, the shop owner knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "In this case, I can no longer hand over the shop to you."

"Shopkeeper, don't do this." Fan Nuoxi helped the shopkeeper up.

"Listen to me. Since I have come to Danqiu Country, I naturally want to help everyone. Boss, why don't you sell the store to me? I have the ability to protect myself." Fan Nuoxi said sincerely.

The boss looked at the people behind Fan Nuoxi, each of whom had extraordinary temperament and appearance, and sighed in his heart.

"Miss, if there is a chance, I, Zheng Mo, would die for you." Zheng Mo said solemnly, and then took out the deed of the store from his arms.

Fan Nuoxi took this opportunity to let Tuanzi give Zheng Mo a full body and soul repair and completely clean up the gray and white energy in his body. However, there was one thing that made Fan Nuoxi confused.

Zheng Mo is a cultivator at the third stage of the Nascent Soul stage. Why would he be willing to hide all his cultivation and open a shop here?

Zheng Mo's eyes welled up as he looked at the spiritual shield that suddenly appeared in front of him.

Did he meet the legendary fairy?

I have received such a great favor.

After a while, Zheng Mo felt refreshed all over, and the discomfort that had been accumulating in his heart for many days was swept away.

"Thank you, young lady!" Zheng Mo bowed gratefully.

"Here are thirty thousand taels of silver and some food. Can I buy your store?"

Fan Nuoxi took out a storage bag and handed it to Zheng Mo.

"That's enough!" Zheng Mo held the storage bag as if it weighed a thousand pounds.

"By the way, this is for you. I hope you won't mind it, young lady!" Zheng Mo took out a token and the keys of the store and gave them to Fan Nuoxi.

"What is this?" Looking at the word "Xiao Yao" on the token, Fan Nuoxi was a little uneasy.

"To be honest, I am a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect. I have been traveling for several years and now it is time for me to go back." Zheng Mo scratched his head innocently.

"Then I wish you a safe journey. We will meet again someday if we are destined to do so."
