Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 651 - 652 Explosive News

Chapter 651: Chapter 652: Explosive News Chapter 651: Chapter 652: Explosive News “Hehe, the Earth Rank is too far out of reach for me; in the future, it’ll be your world.”

Liu Lie wasn’t greatly surprised.

Xia Liu possessed cultivation comparable to a Heaven-Rank Warrior, so seeing through his hidden cultivation was only to be expected.

“Old Liu, actually, the main reason I came this time is because of Xia Liu.” Seeing that the two were conversing amiably, Fang Huasheng steered the conversation to the matter at hand.

“Ah, Old Fang, just say it directly, we’re all friends here.”

“It’s like this, the raw materials for Ruoxiang’s research project are all supplied by you, and Xia Liu is quite interested in that type of black stone.”

“The black stone, you mean the Ruoxiang Stone?” Liu Lie asked with confusion.

...

The stone named by Ye Ruoxiang had obviously been circulated and put to use.

Liu Lie was somewhat astonished mainly because the origins of that stone were a bit special.

“Yes, do you, Old Master Liu, know where that kind of stone is produced?” Noticing Liu Lie’s astonishment.

Xia Liu quickly inquired, perhaps his visit this time had truly been spot-on.

“That kind of stone is quite special, its place of origin is in Lingyun City.”

“Lingyun City? Isn’t that right next to Binlai City?”

Xia Liu had some recollection of this place name; both belonged to the same province and were adjacent to Binlai City.

Lingyun City is the largest stone market in Huaxia.

And these stones are referred to as Strange Stones.

Strange Stones are a high-end route that only those with some capital and confidence can dabble in.

Lingyun City was once famed as the homeland of jadeite.

Now, although it has lost some of its fame,

its heritage remains, and even after countless years, Lingyun City is still the busiest stone market in Huaxia.

“That’s right, next to Lingyun City lies Binlai City,” confirmed Liu Lie with a nod.

“Old Master Liu, how did Ruoxiang Stone end up here; is there someone specially purchasing it?”

“It’s not really about purchasing, Ruoxiang Stone is something that Ruoxiang found at the Liu Family’s place, and then she thought it a bit unusual, so she took it back for research, and the rest followed.”

“Ye Ruoxiang discovered it at the Liu Family’s place?” Xia Liu was somewhat puzzled; if he understood the situation correctly, Ye Ruoxiang ought to be from a branch of the Ye Family, one of the four great families.

How could she go to the Liu Family, although they too are one of the four great families, they should be in a more observant position towards each other.

“Yes, Ruoxiang is the betrothed of a tenth-generation descendant of the Liu Family.”

“The betrothed of a tenth-generation descendant?”

Upon hearing this news, Xia Liu was somewhat taken aback.

But after pondering, he came to understand, Ye Ruoxiang was merely a branch member of the Ye Family, and moreover, she had no cultivation.

Yet with her beauty, how many young heirs in Yanjing could remain indifferent?

“Yes, that’s a matter of the main branch, so I don’t know much about it,” Liu Lie said helplessly with a shake of his head.

If he were a descendant of the main branch, he wouldn’t be stuck at the Mysterious Rank Peak for dozens of years.

And he wouldn’t be in this position.

For a martial artist, the ultimate goal is the peak.

But sometimes, martial artists must shift their focus.

Just like Liu Lie himself, he too wished to cultivate like most martial artists, live carefree and act at will.

However, the pressure from the family lineage forced him to maintain his current position.

Whether it’s for face or for power,

he had to persist. Perhaps in a few more days, the main branch would send him materials for promotion.

Then, he would become an Earth-Rank Warrior.

“Ruoxiang’s fiancé must be very outstanding, right?”

“Yes, Liu Lang is a very promising young man. He’s only thirty years old and has already achieved Earth-Rank High-Level cultivation. In a few more years, he might reach the Mysterious Rank Peak, and with a bit more experience, he’s definitely able to take up the position of Family Head,” said Liu Lie with a hint of envy, recalling his own youth when his talents were mediocre and he eventually had no choice but to join the military.

As for the young people of today, he could only shake his head.

They were either geniuses or good-for-nothings, and it was clear from the start what their futures would hold.

“Liu Lang, nice name, but I wonder what the person is like,” Xia Liu muttered to himself.

Although he no longer had any relationship with Ye Ruoxiang,

they had still once held hands. If he saw the one he had once held marry a scoundrel,

Xia Liu would find it intolerable.

“Liu Lang prioritizes martial arts and is the main manager of household affairs, of course he learns about other domains, but overall, he’s a very decent young man,” was all Liu Lie could roughly say.

“I roughly understand. Does Old Master Liu know the exact location in Lingyun City where the Ruoxiang Stones are produced?”

Xia Liu pushed the matters of Ye Ruoxiang and Liu Lang to the back of his mind; right now, the Spiritual Energy stones were what mattered!

“I’ve heard it’s from Lingyun Mountain, but as for the details, I haven’t been there myself, so I’m not very clear,” replied Liu Lie, his answer lacking detail. Fang Huasheng added on the side, “Lingyun Mountain should not simply be called Lingyun Mountain; it is part of the Lingyun Mountain Range, a range that is comparable to many other expansive mountain ranges. Moreover, there are many places within it that have yet to be developed, making it rather dangerous.”

“Right, in about half a month, something will happen at Lingyun Mountain Range,” Liu Lie said in a suggestive tone.

Hearing such a hint, Xia Liu, puzzled, asked, “Something will happen?”

“Yes, I can’t say exactly what it’ll be, but if you’re interested, you might as well go take a look at that time. Perhaps there’ll be something to gain,” said Liu Lie without fully elaborating.

Because of his cultivation level and identity, he wasn’t very informed about the matter.

If he explained rashly and Xia Liu found discrepancies upon arrival, wouldn’t it be a total loss of face for him?

“Alright, I’ll go have a look in half a month. Thank you for the news, Old Master Liu,” Xia Liu thanked him respectfully.

He had a premonition that he could achieve a significant gain at Lingyun Mountain Range in half a month.

“Hey, don’t mention it. If Old Fang weren’t here, I might have to call you ‘senior,'” mentioned Liu Lie.

“Old Master Liu mustn’t say that; I’m too young to bear the title ‘senior,'” Xia Liu quickly interrupted.

Hehehe… Liu Lie chuckled amiably. Not only did Xia Liu possess strength, but he also knew how to be humble, far more so than Liu Lang, the Young Master of the Liu Family’s main branch.

“Xia Li, now that you have the information, is there anything else?” asked Fang Huasheng.

“Yes, Old Master Liu. Since you have the Ruoxiang Stones here, I was wondering if you have any special herbal medicine,” Xia Liu wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

If there really were Spirit Grass in the Military District Warehouse, no matter the cost, he had to get it.

“Herbal medicine?”

“Yes, like the kind used in traditional Chinese medicine,” Xia Liu clarified.

“We don’t have that,” Liu Lie shook his head.

“Old Liu, don’t fool us. A big Military District Warehouse and you don’t even have herbal medicine?” Fang Huasheng questioned, puzzled.

“It’s true we don’t. Those Ruoxiang Stones were also placed here by Young Master Liu Lang for safekeeping, to be delivered to Ruoxiang when needed,” explained Liu Lie.
