Apocalypse: Resources Consumed by Women Returned Ten Thousandfold - Chapter 262 - 260: Reversed Celestial Spirit
On the quaint and ancient streets of Martial God Village, people bustled about, coming and going.
Lin Lang, Lü Su Ran, and Ding Xinrou walked together.
Their gazes were drawn to martial artists clad in practice uniforms.
The outfits varied in style, yet they all exuded a strong ancient charm.
The martial artists walked with the wind, their movements seemingly imitating ancient heroes, and when they spoke, it was with a refined and scholarly tone, exuding an air of antiquity!
Lin Lang found it amusing—
These people cultivating the Martial Dao likely had been biding their time in modern cities!
Until the apocalypse arrived!
Signifying that their era had finally come!
Hence, they were eager to flaunt their uniqueness!
Proclaiming they would stand proud henceforth!
…
Lü Su Ran’s eyes sparkled as she looked around:
“This Martial God Village really has personality! Look at all these peculiar shops along the street.”
Following her gaze, Lin Lang saw shops tightly packed on both sides of the street, their signs swaying in the wind.
Names like “Divine Weapon Pavilion,” “Spirit Pill Shop,” and “Secret Martial Pavilion” came into view.
He couldn’t help but smile.
Everywhere were shops selling items for the Martial Dao.
Things like weapons, elixirs, and martial arts manuals were in abundance.
However, Lin Lang wasn’t interested in those martial arts manuals; he had no intention of practicing martial arts right now!
Weapons weren’t needed for the time being either.
It was the elixirs, though, with their fresh-sounding names and effects, that piqued his interest.
As he spoke, Lin Lang unconsciously headed toward an elixir shop.
The shop wasn’t large, with a faint aroma of herbs wafting within.
Behind the counter stood a sturdy shop owner, with a sharp gaze, radiating an air of martial artist arrogance at a glance.
Lin Lang approached the counter, looked at the neatly arranged elixirs, and casually asked:
“Boss, how much are these elixirs?”
The owner sized up Lin Lang from head to toe, a flicker of suspicion in his eyes, and asked gruffly:
“Are you a martial artist?”
Lin Lang raised an eyebrow, replying leisurely:
“What difference does it make?”
The owner sneered, crossing his arms arrogantly:
“Hmph, so you’re not? These elixirs are only for sale to martial artists; you superpower users don’t qualify to purchase.”
“Huh?”
Lü Su Ran felt quite indignant—
It’s one thing not letting us stay in hotels!
But not letting us buy things too!
It’s not like we’re not paying!
Lin Lang maintained a faint smile, half-jokingly saying:
“Boss, why quibble over money when doing business?”
The owner snorted disdainfully:
“These elixirs cost a hundred Martial God Coins, and with a superpower user’s income, you surely can’t afford them.”
Lin Lang took out a hundred Martial God Coins from Space and tossed them onto the table with a “thud”:
“Sorry, I can afford it.”
Seeing this, the owner was stunned for a moment but then said:
“That’s the price for martial artists! You’re a superpower user, so there’s an additional fifty coins.”
Lin Lang said nothing, pulling out another fifty Martial God Coins from Space and tossing them over:
“Then add them!”
All hundred and fifty Martial God Coins clinked and clanged on the tabletop.
His expression was utterly relaxed, as if the money were as easy to come by as a strong gust of wind, not minding the expense one bit.
In fact, it was even easier than a gust of wind!
The owner’s eyes widened with shock.
Standing nearby, Lü Su Ran couldn’t help but edge closer to Lin Lang, tugging at his clothes and whispering:
“Where did you get so many Martial God Coins?”
Hadn’t they just exchanged a dozen of them at the entrance?
A hint of a smile played on Lin Lang’s lips, yet he didn’t answer, though his grin seemed to hold a deeper meaning.
The owner’s gaze flickered, stealing glances at passersby, before locking his greedy eyes onto the pile of Martial God Coins, causing a wave of agitation within him.
After hesitating for a moment, he couldn’t resist lowering his voice, saying:
“Keep it discreet. Selling elixirs to you superpower users might bring trouble.”
With that, he quickly reached for a box of elixirs and handed them to Lin Lang.
“Keep it discreet?”
Lin Lang chuckled inwardly, he was never one to keep a low profile.
He casually accepted the elixirs, seeming nonchalant as he said:
“No rush, I’ll keep looking.”
With that, he began browsing the shop.
Soon enough, he picked out a few more elixirs and even meticulously selected a long sword for Ding Xinrou—
It had to be said!
The weapon craftsmanship at Martial God Village was truly exquisite, far surpassing those ordinary products outside by a large margin!
Initially.
The owner only wished to quickly rid himself of the “troublesome” Lin Lang!
But seeing his generous purchases, the thought of shooing him away instantly vanished!
Instead, it was replaced with a reluctance to part with him.
His attitude did a complete 180, becoming amiable, as he actively introduced the characteristics and effects of various products to Lin Lang.
After all his selections, Lin Lang spent over three thousand Martial God Coins at the shop.
“Do come again!”
The owner beamed with a smile, courteously seeing them out the door, his gaze still holding a hint of regret at the departure of a wealthy patron.
…
Lin Lang continued to stroll leisurely with Lü Su Ran and Ding Xinrou down the main street of Martial God Village.
Lü Su Ran was like a joyful little bird, finding everything fascinating!
“If you like it, buy it.”
Lin Lang was obliging, his face always carrying a doting smile.
Just like that!
It wasn’t long before the more than five thousand Martial God Coins in Lin Lang’s Space dwindled like running water.
Yet Lin Lang remained unruffled—
He retrieved a few Martial God Coins from Space and handed them to Ding Xinrou, speaking softly:
