111: (Added) I finally came so early, but I didn’t buy it

"Stop, we need to get on!"

Zhuang Sanming and the other person quickly caught up, arriving at the train door.

Lin Feng saw it was them and displayed the subtitle:

"A passenger can only ride the train once within a twenty-four-hour period."

"We're not here to ride the train; we're here to buy water. Is there any water left?" Zhuang Sanming directly stated his need, without any hesitation.

Mainly, he was afraid that if they didn't buy a ticket, the train would just throw them off.

Hadn't Xiong Mao done that before? Although they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, Ximen Chuifeng had, and even told them about it as a joke.

"The water is already gone."

They arrived just in time, as Wang Yi's three-person riding period was up. So, Wang Yi opened his eyes, stepped forward, pointed to the trash can inside the train, and said, "The three empty bottles inside are all from today's train exclusive water."

Ge Yunying and Feng Zhi also came over. Feng Zhi said apologetically, "You guys are here to buy water too? I've already finished mine."

Zhuang Sanming's hanging heart finally died.

"Alright, I guess we'll have to come back tomorrow to buy it." He stood at the train door and had already seen the adjacent table was empty, proving they were right.

Su Duo was also very disappointed: "Ah? I finally managed to wake up so early today, and I didn't even get to buy any."

Zhuang Sanming didn't give up: "We just didn't get it today; it'll be the same if we come back tomorrow."

"Alright." Su Duo always felt her cousin had a really good attitude, unlike her, who immediately deflated after hearing the water was sold out.

Just as they turned to leave, they found that Xiong Mao had also arrived, panting.

"Hey, you're all here? So, is there any water left to sell?" Xiong Mao wiped the sweat from his forehead, asking the question he cared about most.

"Do we look like we managed to buy water?" Zhuang Sanming said with a bitter smile, spreading his hands.

"Ah? It's already sold out? What a wasted trip." Xiong Mao said disappointedly.

"Not entirely wasted," Zhuang Sanming said.

Seeing that Wang Yi and the other two had already walked far away, Zhuang Sanming then said, "Didn't we agree to buy that wood-attribute cultivation technique for us today? Did you bring enough spirit stones?"

Buy a cultivation technique?

Lin Feng had originally intended to drive away, but upon hearing that sentence, he immediately couldn't move.

A cultivation technique costs twenty thousand spirit stones!

It's even more profitable than selling four bottles of train exclusive water!

The main reason was that his cultivation technique sales progress was currently only (0/4), and completing the entire progress seemed a long way off. So, when he heard someone wanted to buy a cultivation technique, he thought he could finally have a good start today and naturally couldn't neglect it.

"Oh, I brought them." Xiong Mao's main purpose for coming today was to buy the cultivation technique, so he took out a full storage bag and said, "They're all here."

"Hmm, at least we'll still have some gain; it's not a wasted trip."

Zhuang Sanming didn't stand on ceremony with Xiong Mao. Their relationship was now a partnership, mutually beneficial. After he obtained the cultivation technique, he could become stronger, and the support behind Xiong Mao could also increase.

Counting out two thousand spirit stone vouchers from the storage bag, Zhuang Sanming looked up at the green train and said, "I want to buy that third-grade wood-attribute cultivation technique. Here are twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones."

"Alright, here is your third-grade wood-attribute cultivation technique. Please take it."

Lin Feng was already overjoyed in his heart; he had finally sold a cultivation technique!!

Cultivation technique sales progress (1/4), one step closer to upgrading!

On the other side, Zhuang Sanming and Su Duo were also incredibly excited.

"We finally got the wood-attribute cultivation technique!"

The happiest was Zhuang Sanming, because possessing a wood-attribute cultivation technique meant that he could pass the interview when the Alchemy Hall recruited people again in the future!

The name of this cultivation technique was the Seven-Colored Divine Wood Skill, a third-grade wood-attribute technique.

"Seven-Colored Divine Wood Skill? How come I feel like I've heard that name somewhere..." Xiong Mao scratched his head, finding the characters somewhat familiar but unable to recall where.

"You've heard of it?" Zhuang Sanming asked.

"I think I have, but I can't remember," Xiong Mao shook his head.

"There are so many cultivation techniques in the world; it's normal to have similar names or to misremember. Let's go back to the guild to find Ximen Chuifeng and analyze the current internal situation of your Axe Gang."

Zhuang Sanming didn't delve deeper, put away the cultivation technique, and left.

"Okay." Xiong Mao also seemed to have noticed the unusual atmosphere within the gang these past two days, especially from Bao Hui's people, who had even started looking for trouble with his side.

It was indeed time to discuss the next steps... "What? You can't find this person?"

Bao Hui had placed an order at the guild's intelligence office yesterday, asking them to help him find the whereabouts of the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley. But today, when he came to ask again, the front desk staff actually told him they couldn't find her!

How was this possible?

The most well-informed place Outside the Bastion 155 was the guild's intelligence office. How could there be news they couldn't find out??

"I'm sorry, sir, we really can't find the whereabouts of the person you mentioned. Please seek someone more capable."

The staff member repeated again.

"What about the spirit stones I paid?" Bao Hui was particularly irritable now. The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley was missing, and the Old Gang Leader said to let Xiong Mao capture her, but Xiong Mao didn't take it seriously at all, perhaps even thinking of letting her go.

This couldn't go on.

He had also sent several groups of people to search, but they had never been able to find her; otherwise, he wouldn't have come to the intelligence office at all.

"Excuse me, sir, our rule here is that once a deposit is paid, it is non-refundable." The staff member pointed to the regulations hanging on their Wall.

Bao Hui clenched his fists, almost slamming them on the table, but in the end, he forcefully held back.

Although the Axe Gang had a reputation, they still had no say in front of the guild.

The intelligence office was also one of the guild's halls. If he started a fight with someone here, the guild would definitely not let it go.

At that time, let alone finding the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley, even the entire Axe Gang might not be able to be preserved.

So, in the end, Bao Hui still didn't make a move; he just turned his head and left the intelligence office.

Since even the intelligence office couldn't find her, the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley must have already left the vicinity of this Wall.

This was also good; the further she escaped, the less she would affect his upcoming plans... Ximen Chuifeng's home.

"Going out again?"

The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley's internal injuries had almost healed with careful recuperation over the past two days, and her external injuries had long since recovered. She had been staying with Ximen Chuifeng and hadn't gone out.

At this moment, she was drawing something on paper with a pen, sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxing.

"Mm." Ximen Chuifeng nodded, casually took the jacket hanging on the clothes rack, put it on, and was about to leave.

"Going hunting in the forest? Or going to do something for someone?" The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley asked idly... P.S.: This chapter is over two thousand characters.
