Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 448 Market Flower Han Ying

The sandstorms were everywhere, like invisible demons, relentlessly blocking their path.

However, Li Qingyuan and the other two were all highly skilled cultivators, each possessing unique skills and extraordinary abilities.

Faced with this natural disaster, they remained calm and steady, showing no significant impact, and continued their determined journey toward Medicine King Valley.

They continued walking towards the Valley of Medicine Kings.

The force of the strong wind and yellow sand grew increasingly fierce and surging.

Like ferocious beasts, they wantonly display their power.

The wind howled, as if it wanted to tear everything in its way to shreds;

Yellow sand swirled in the air like a dense rain of arrows, making it almost impossible to open one's eyes.

A sense of doubt arose in Li Qingyuan's heart.

Logically speaking, someone of such high status and extraordinary medical skills as the Medicine King would be a figure of great importance.

One should seek a quiet and secluded place, far from the hustle and bustle of the world, to devote oneself to the study of medicine and explore the highest realm of medical skills.

However, this Mu Qingyang was completely different from what everyone had imagined.

He inexplicably chose such a noisy, bustling place, filled with sandstorms, as his residence.

This is truly an enigmatic and eccentric person.

......

------

However, then I thought about it.

Li Qingyuan also felt that this person might have an extraordinary temperament.

The fact that he could remain calm and composed in such a harsh environment shows that external things could no longer disturb his mind or disrupt his thoughts.

Of course, it is also possible that such an environment has unique benefits for his spiritual practice.

After all, the world is vast and boundless, and anything can happen.

The cultivation methods possessed by various talented individuals are vastly different, each with its own unique approach.

Perhaps this windy and sandy land is a unique aid on Mu Qingyang's path of cultivation.

Li Qingyuan and his two companions braved the thorns and brambles, making their way forward against the biting sandstorm.

As the distance closed, surprisingly, the originally raging sandstorm gradually thinned out.

It was as if it had been gently brushed away by an invisible hand.

Until they arrived at a vast market town.

The annoying sandstorm finally vanished completely, as if it had never existed.

The scene before him truly astonished Li Qingyuan—

It turned out to be a bustling market town!

After this land ravaged by sandstorms, Medicine King Valley was a place of peace and tranquility.

It's like a paradise on earth.

This stands in stark contrast to the harsh external environment.

......

In the market town.

At this moment, many cultivators were moving around among them.

Some of them walked hurriedly, their expressions anxious, as if they were searching for some precious treasure;

Some strolled along leisurely, stopping frequently, as if enjoying this rare moment of free time.

At one of the stalls, two cultivators were arguing heatedly over a few taels of Xuanjing crystals, neither willing to give in.

The heated arguments echoed through the market, adding a touch of liveliness to the bustling scene.

Looking around, the market was bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder, creating a lively and vibrant scene.

The streets are lined with stalls displaying a dazzling array of goods.

There were magical artifacts radiating a mysterious light, spiritual herbs exuding a faint medicinal fragrance, and secret manuals shimmering with strange runes...

This is nothing like what Li Qingyuan imagined Medicine King Valley should look like.

In his original vision, Medicine King Valley should have been a tall, mysterious, and otherworldly place.

But the bustling market town before him, brimming with the warmth of everyday life, was quite different from what he had imagined.

Instead of feeling aloof and distant, this place feels remarkably down-to-earth.

It seems that the Medicine King Mu Qingyang is indeed an extraordinary person who is different from others and transcends the ordinary!

......

Li Qingyuan and his two companions stepped into the bustling market.

In an instant, I was surrounded by the bustling crowd and the constant shouts.

Along the way, quite a few vendors recognized Yue Qinghuan at a glance.

A fruit vendor's eyes lit up instantly, his face beaming with smiles as he warmly greeted the vendor:

"Miss, you've finally arrived!"

"My fruit is so big and sweet today, should I buy some more to try?"

On the other side, the tea vendor, not to be outdone, quickly shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Miss, I have a new batch of aged tea today. It has a rich and mellow aroma. Why don't you try it? I guarantee you'll love it!"

Another sharp-eyed woman noticed Li Qingyuan and the old ox beside Yue Qinghuan and couldn't help but tease them:

"Oh, Miss, you've brought people with you this time!"

"I wonder what this young man's name is? He's so handsome, like he stepped out of a painting!"

"And that big oaf, look at your physique, you're as strong as an ox, I'm so envious!"

Yue Qinghuan welcomed everyone who came, always wearing a friendly smile, and chatted warmly with each vendor.

She would also occasionally buy things from the vendors' stalls.

Before long, Li Qingyuan and the old ox became the "bag carriers".

The two carried large and small bags, following closely behind Yue Qinghuan.

......

------

This market town was extremely large, resembling a bustling small town.

The three of them walked for a full half hour, but they hadn't even covered half the distance.

Fortunately, Yue Qinghuan stopped in front of a stall.

There was a simply dressed, kind-faced old woman tending her cauliflower stall.

With a smile, Yue Qinghuan asked kindly:

"Grandma Hua, how's business today?"

"Oh, Yue family girl? What brings you here today?"

The old woman narrowed her eyes slightly, carefully examined Yue Qinghuan, and then asked with a smile.

Yue Qinghuan quickly said:

"Grandma Flower, I've come to see Uncle Mu."

"What do you want with that old geezer?"

Hua Hanying frowned in confusion.

However, when Mu Qingyang was mentioned, her emotions clearly fluctuated, and her tone carried a hint of reproach, as if she had some anger in her heart.

Yue Qinghuan quickly explained:

“A while ago, an elderly person of mine was seriously injured and brought here.”

"I'd like to ask him, how is the elder's injury now?"

Hua Hanying then suddenly realized what was happening and said:

"Oh, it turns out it's you."

"I knew that old man was taking it so seriously this time, personally brewing the medicine and staying by his side day and night."

"Don't worry, that person's life is currently out of danger, but judging from his condition, I'm afraid he won't last much longer..."

Yue Qinghuan's heart tightened, and she said:

"Alright, let's go see him first. You should come back and rest early."

Hua Hanying was very enthusiastic and waved her hand, saying:

"Alright, now that you're here, I've lost interest in selling."

"Come on, let's go home and I'll cook for you."

As she spoke, she quickly began to pack up her stall.

In no time at all, everything was ready.

She skillfully hoisted the carrying pole, picked up two baskets of cauliflower, and prepared to leave.

......

------

But Li Qingyuan was quick-witted and agile, and stepped forward to help Hua Hanying.

He did not directly take the carrying pole from Hua Hanying's shoulder, but gently moved it to his own shoulder.

He had already realized that this old woman and the Medicine Emperor Mu Qingyang probably had a close relationship.

Since Elder Hua had troubled them for many days, it was only natural for me to be considerate and express my gratitude.

Hua Hanying looked at Li Qingyuan, a look of doubt flashing in her eyes.

She had never seen this young man before, and this was the first time Miss Yue had brought an outsider here.

She couldn't help but ponder the relationship between the two.

At this moment, Yue Qinghuan introduced with a smile:

"Grandma Hua, these two are my friends. Li... Li Musu, and this is Yun Xu. We are all family."

Hua Hanying nodded and let Li Qingyuan take the carrying pole to carry the vegetables, while she led the way with steady steps.

She was very capable and spoke very little. Even with Yue Qinghuan, they only exchanged a few simple words occasionally.

Therefore, the four of them seemed somewhat bored throughout the journey.

Fortunately, she walked very fast, with light and agile steps.

We drove along, stopping and starting, turning left and right.

After navigating through more than a dozen intricate alleyways, we finally arrived at a secluded courtyard.

This villa is extremely spacious, like a tranquil paradise, hidden in a corner of this bustling city.

As far as the eye can see, there are servants dressed as lowly people moving back and forth in the corridors.

Their steps were hurried yet orderly, as if silently proclaiming the extraordinary status of the owner of this villa.
