The Dragon's Magic Code

Chapter 4 I Want to Refine Pills

Information gushed into Lin Yan's mind, flooding it with the knowledge that he did not have before. He felt like his brain was about to burst.

His expression changed as he lay on the ground, clasping his head. He couldn't help but tremble as his pupils dilated.

At that moment, he felt as if blades were shredding his mind, skinning him. A sharp pain filled his body.

He quickly had the Shadow of the Dragon-Devourer cease the decryption of the Second Stage Separation of Yuan Qi of the Heavenly Sword Finger Technique before his brain would burst like a watermelon falling to the ground.

Lin Yan lay there with sweat pouring down his back. He finally recovered after a long while. Gasping for breath, he stood up as if he had just gone through a battle.

However, there was a strange luster in his eyes which made his gaze much sharper.

"I didn't expect the Shadow of the Dragon-Devourer to be so magical! In addition to alchemy and decrypting martial arts techniques, it must have other magical properties as well."

"But I have to end the decryption of the Heavenly Sword Finger technique for the time being, else my brain will explode!"

Lin Yan sighed repeatedly. He inhaled a breath of cool air. If he had not stopped the Shadow of the Dragon-Devourer, he might be dead by now.

At the same time, he was brimming with anticipation. If the first reward of the Sumeru chamber was this awesome, who knew what else it had in store?

After a short rest, he exited the Dragon-Devouring Prison and headed towards the largest shop in Sun County—the House of Hundred Treasures.

The House of Hundred Treasures was one of the few properties in Sun County that did not belong to any of the three great clans. Rumors abounded that it was backed by a powerful force.

The said three great clans of Sun County consisted of the Lin Family, the Mu Family, and the Wang Family.

The House of Hundred Treasures was a three-stories building that was decorated lavishly. Aristocrats from prominent families flocked in and out of it.

"I want to buy these herbs. Two of each, please!"

Lin Yan walked in and smacked a piece of paper on the counter. It contained the ingredients needed to make the Marrow-Purifying Pill.

At that moment, a very familiar voice came from behind him.

"And I was wondering who it was. So it's you, Lin Yan! I didn't expect to meet you here."

Lin Yan looked over and saw an elegant young man. He was holding a green sword in his hand.

His mouth was in a disdainful smirk, and he had his arm on the waist of a beautiful woman who mirrored his expression when looking at Lin Yan.

Lin Yan's expression immediately turned dark. The veins on his forehead bulged in annoyance.

His eyes turned red as a killing intent spread from his body.

The two people before him were none other than Lin Tianyou and Lin Qiaoer.

"I didn't expect to run into two sh*theads here. Guess it just isn't my day!"

Lin Qiaoer removed her arm, which was wrapping around Lin Tianyou's neck. She circled Lin Yan, seizing him up.

She frowned and pinched her nose. She took a step back and sneered.

"Lin Yan, I didn't expect you to not die from that day and have recovered so quickly. Are you here to purchase medicinal pills?

"Haha. Now that the Lin Family has cut off your salary, do you still have any money on you?"

"But since we're cut from the same cloth, we will spare you."

"If you are willing to be Tianyou's dog, maybe he will have mercy on you and reward you with some scraps!"

Her words drew the attention of the crowd. They couldn't help but laugh and mutter among themselves.

"Look! Isn't this the previous heir of the Lin Family, Lin Yan? I almost didn't recognize him. Oh, how the mighty have fallen!"

"Hmph, Lin Yan lorded it over us with his talent. He was arrogant and looked down on us. He deserved it for ending up this way."

"Keep it down, or he might hear us."

"So what if he hears us? Do you think this trash can do anything about it?"

Lin Yan knitted his brows, burning with rage. He wanted so badly to skin the two of them, who betrayed him, alive.

However, it was not the time yet. Lin Tianyao's cultivation was already at the Eighth Stage of Body Tempering, and he had undergone the Cleansing of Body twice. He was much powerful than he was.

After awakening his High-grade Spiritual Body, Lin Qiaoer's cultivation speed had increased by leaps and bounds. She was now at the Seventh Stage of Body Tempering.

Lin Yan would not be able to stand a chance against the two of them.

He reminded himself to endure it for the time being.

Once he was strong enough, he would devour both of them.

Lin Tianyou was gloating, seeing that many had joined him in humiliating Lin Yan.

Just then, the shop assistant spoke up next to him.

"Sir, your order is ready. Please proceed to pay here."

However, Lin Yan just walked over stoically.

"I don't have money. Bring me to your storekeeper!"

The smile on the shop assistant's face disappeared, replaced by a gloomy scowl.

Even the people who were laughing and watching the fun earlier immediately shut up and looked at each other.

Everyone knew that the House of Hundred Treasures was backed by a powerful person. Even the heads of the three great clans had to show them respect.

After its long-lived establishment, Lin Yan was the first person who dared to cause trouble in the House of Hundred Treasures. Was he courting death?

Lin Tianyou and Lin Qiaoer wondered if Lin Yan had lost it after suffering such a heavy blow.

"How dare you cause trouble in the House of Hundred Treasures? Can't you see where you're at?!"

The shop assistant pounded the table and leaped to his feet. Furious, he pointed at Lin Yan as the room chilled to absolute zero.

Just then, a majestic man's voice came from the third floor.

"What's going on downstairs?"

The shop assistant was just about to complain when Lin Yan spoke up.

"I don't have any money, but I have something you'll want!"

"Young man, you're quite brave. I'd like to see what is this thing that you are certain that I would want. Come on up!"

After obtaining the permission of the storekeeper on the third floor, Lin Yan climbed to the third floor as the crowd looked on. He pushed open the door to reveal two people seated in the room.

One of them was a middle-aged man in his early fifties. He had a mustache, pouty lip, and a sharp gaze.

He was Peng Jian, and he was at the First Stage of the Foundation Realm. He was considered a top-tier martial artist in Sun County, and he was also the shopkeeper of the House of Hundred Treasures.

Beside Peng Jian sat a lady in yellow around the same age as Lin Yan.

The woman had fair skin, delicate facial features, and bright eyes that sparkled like the stars in the night. Just then, her hair was dancing in the breeze.

A refreshing flower fragrance whiffed off her body. When she looked at Lin Yan, he felt his heart throbbing that he had not experienced in a long time.

"Lin Yan, I presume? I am curious just what kind of natural treasure you have that you're so certain that I need!"

"Word of caution. I find that you're making trouble, I'll break your limbs and destroy your cultivation before throwing you out!"

As soon as he spoke, Lin Yan could feel the intimidating pressure emanating from the man's body as his face turned red.

However, Lin Yan did not feel the slightest bit of fear. His eyes revealed a cold glint as he used all his strength to block his pressure.

"Humph, let's see how long you last!"

Peng Jian became a little uncertain when he saw that Lin Yan had successfully blocked his aura. However, he planned to bring Lin Yan to his knees soon enough.

At that moment, the woman in yellow said calmly, "Peng Jian, let's see what treasures he has first."

Peng Jian immediately retracted his pressure and replied to the woman respectfully, "Yes, Miss."

"Show me what you have. If you dare to fool my lady and I, you might not be able to walk out alive."

Lin Yan ignored Peng Jian's threat and replied in a gentle tone,

"I'll keep it short. I am an alchemist. I assume you two could use someone like me."
