Rise of the Great Emperor Chapter 136: Meeting Old Acquaintances

Chapter 136: Meeting Old Acquaintances

Days passed swiftly.
To say that Lin Xiao didn't make use of the situation would be a very insulting statement. By now, Lin Xiao and the others have already gathered so many herbs but still left the roots inside to allow the herbs to grow again. In many years to come, the place would be filled with plenty of herbs once more.
"This should be enough."
"Shall we head back now?" Lin Xiao asked and looked into the forest once more. He felt a bit bitter about leaving this place that was rich with herbs but with Wenren Yu and Lin Yun, the three of them had almost caused this place to be bare of herbs.
"Sure."
"Let's take a detour so that we won't be close with Ri Village."
Since they were heading straight to the edge from Ri Village, they would be heading to the same village if they didn't take any detour. Both Lin Yun and Wenren Yu agreed with what Lin Xiao said because they had no intention to visit that village and possibly got into trouble.
After roasting some meat to eat, they departed once more.
This time, they were moving a bit to the West to avoid Ri Village. The route was different than before but with the help of the sun, it allowed them to know the direction towards Feng Yi City.
"By the way, do you think that Elder Wang will want us to find other method to search for money?" Lin Xiao asked when they were on the route.
Wenren Yu furrowed his brows. "He couldn't be thinking of having you sell medicine, right?"
"We'll make a lot of enemies if Lin Xiao have to sell medicine."
Lin Xiao: "…"
He knew that he was bad at making medicine, but it shouldn't that bad? At worst, shouldn't they just go bankrupt and unable to do their business?
Lin Yun chuckled at the sight of his brother's face. "What do you think you can do to earn money, Brother?"
"I can be an errand boy like what I used to do."
In the village, Lin Xiao had already spent a long period of time to do what the villagers wanted him to do just to earn some money. When it came to menial task, he was fairly good at it despite the unconventional means that he chose to adopt when there were no tools.
"That'll take a long time to make profit."
"Then…"
"The easiest method to earn money is to have store that sells something that many other people want," Wenren Yu said unhurriedly. He passed a glance at Lin Xiao. "Which is why store that sells medicine are popular because a lot of people need pills to aid in their cultivation or to heal their wounds."
Lin Xiao furrowed his brows. He had the feeling that when it came to earning money, he would be very bad. Aside from doing some menial task, he didn't really know what he was supposed to do or could do.
"Anyway, the auction should be held right on time when we return. At that time, we'll see how much money we can make."
"Right."
Because of the mission, Lin Xiao nearly forgot about the auction. Since the owner wanted to hype the items sold, including the Night Yin Flower, they were already advertising everywhere. Those who needed the treasures were flocking to the monthly auction from the two auction houses.
The two of them were bitter rivals, but they didn't dare to hold auction at the same time as the other auction. After all, there might be powerful people who wanted items from both places but unable to act on his own if the time was the same. Unless the two auction houses wanted to create trouble, they wouldn't do something like that.
"Hmm?"
"What is it, Brother?'
Lin Xiao looked into a distance with narrowed eyes. His keen senses faintly hear human's voices. However, they couldn't see anything in this dense forest. All he knew was that in that distance, there should be several people who were talking.
Or fighting?
"There are someone over there."
"You want to take a look?" Wenren Yu was stunned.
"Yep."
"What if…"
"Don't worry, let's go."
The other two could only smile bitterly as they followed Lin Xiao. By this time, they already knew that when it came to Lin Xiao, they would surely enter into a trouble because of some matters.
For the nth time.
Swish!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Pass! Next!"
The sound of loud cheering entered their ears. By this time, Wenren Yu could finally see the large building that was previously hidden by the tall trees. His pupil constricted and he turned to look towards Lin Xiao.
"Master, we're in Wang Luo Sect."
"Eh?"
Lin Xiao paused on his steps. He could already see the entrance towards a building and also so many people were in front of it. There were also several smaller buildings nearby, but the large circular building at the center was the main attraction of this place.
Rummaging through his memory, Lin Xiao finally recalled that Wang Luo Sect was located not far from Feng Yi City. If he was not wrong, it was slightly to the west….
Oh right, they were using the west route.
Previously, they didn't stumble onto this place because they passed by Ri Village. But now, they would be stumbling across this place since they were using different route.
"You're too slow! Move on!"
The shout attracted their attention. Lin Xiao's pupil dilated when he saw the familiar face standing at the back. A smile crept from the corner of his mouth. "We meet again, Luo Lan."
"Luo Lan? Where?"
Lin Xiao chose to step out from the forest and entered the small city. To call it a city would be a bit of exaggeration because it was simply a small areas filled with buildings with Wang Luo Sect at the center.
"Brother…"
Both Wenren Yu and Lin Yun sighed. They knew that trouble was brewing again.
