Something's wrong with this demon.

Chapter 58 Identity

It was already daylight.

Luo Qingchen did not return to Baixianglou immediately.

He walked slowly until he arrived at the stone house in the center of Medicine Man Town.

The stone house was dilapidated, with only one window open.

When he first came to this town, Tian Feng brought him here.

The street not far away.

Zhao Shi was bending over, head down, carefully arranging the vegetables he was going to sell that day.

Luo Qingchen did not disturb him when she passed by.

He went to the window of the stone house and looked inside.

Inside sat the bald man, engrossed in eating the breakfast he had just bought.

When the dim light from the window was blocked, he looked up and gazed out the window.

A boy stood outside the window; his appearance seemed somewhat familiar.

"What's up?"

He frowned and asked.

Luo Qingchen asked, "Senior, I've broken through to the Blood Exchange Realm. When can I go up?"

"What?"

The bald man was taken aback, seemingly not having heard clearly.

But suddenly, he realized what he had just said and jumped up from his chair: "What did you just say? You broke through to the Blood Exchange Realm? You...you're one of the medicine people here?"

You should know that no cultivator in this Medicine Man Town has broken through to a new level for a very long time.

"Yes, I work as a guard at Baixianglou."

Luo Qingchen nodded.

"Bai Xiang Lou? Guards?"

The bald man paused for a moment, then looked at him more closely. Suddenly, he slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "I remember! You were brought by Tian Feng, your name is... Luo..."

"Luo Qingchen".

"Yes! Luo Qingchen!"

After the bald man finished speaking, he suddenly looked incredulous: "You've only been here for about a month, right? Good lad, how did you break through so quickly? Is your family very rich? Do you buy blood bath medicine every day?"

Luo Qingchen naturally wouldn't answer these questions.

After asking his questions, the bald man realized they were a bit abrupt and scratched his head awkwardly, saying, "Sorry, sorry, I shouldn't have asked these questions. Junior Brother Luo, now that you've broken through to the Blood Exchange Realm, I'll make you a waist token immediately as proof of your entry up the mountain. I can have someone take you up today."

His attitude suddenly became very polite, and he was all smiles.

Anyone who can climb up from Medicine Man Town must be a tough guy.

Those few who climbed up from Medicine Man Town back then have now become figures he can only look up to. They are infamous and have a fearsome reputation!

"but……"

He suddenly changed the subject, his face beaming with smiles, and said, "Junior Brother Luo needs to unleash all his power in one punch to prove that you have indeed broken through to the Blood Exchange Realm. Of course, I'm not doubting Junior Brother Luo; after all, the rules are there, and I wouldn't dare break them."

"Of course."

Luo Qingchen clenched her fist, gathered her strength, and suddenly punched the air beside her.

"boom!"

A sharp whistling sound echoed through the air.

The power and vitality of the Blood Exchange Realm were revealed at this moment.

Anyone who is a cultivator can easily sense it.

"Junior Brother Luo has indeed broken through! At this age, that's incredible! Absolutely incredible!"

The bald man quickly praised him a few times, then stopped eating and said, "Junior Brother Luo, please wait a moment, I'll make you a waist tag right away. Once you're up there, you'll also have a special identity jade tag."

He quickly entered a room on the right.

Before long, he came out with a black wooden plaque.

Besides Luo Qingchen's name, the wooden plaque also has a red seal and a line of small characters: "Medicine Man Town Medicine Man, Breakthrough Blood Exchange Realm".

"Junior Brother Luo, when are you planning to go up? Now?"

He handed over the wooden plaque with both hands, asking with a broad smile.

Luo Qingchen took the wooden plaque and said, "I still need to go back to Baixianglou. Could I come back later?"

The bald man laughed and said, "Of course, I'll go and tell the people who will be there to meet us. Junior Brother Luo, you can come anytime, no need to rush."

"Thank you... By the way, what's your name, senior brother?"

Luo Qingchen originally intended to say thank you "senior" as before, but suddenly remembered that he called her junior brother, so she naturally had to change her address.

The bald man laughed and said, "My name is Wang Jing. Junior Brother Luo, you can call me Senior Brother Wang."

He then added somewhat ingratiatingly, "I've been stuck at the Blood Exchange Realm for many years, and it's impossible for me to break through any further. Junior Brother Luo is different; I estimate that you'll break through again in less than a year. When you come down from here, I'll have to respectfully address you as Senior Brother Luo."

Luo Qingchen smiled, exchanged a few more pleasantries with him, and then left.

The people on the road saw him chatting and laughing with the fierce bald man in the stone house, and knew that he was no ordinary person. When he passed by, they all hurriedly made way or lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.

Luo Qingchen arrived at Zhao Shi's stall.

Zhao Shi was looking down as he helped a woman pack sweet potatoes, his hands covered in mud.

After the woman left, Zhao Shi turned to look at him, about to ask what vegetables he wanted to buy, when he suddenly recognized him and exclaimed in surprise, "Ah Chen, it's you! I haven't been here for so many days, I thought you had forgotten me."

She quickly picked out a sweet potato from the stall in front of her, skillfully peeled off the skin, and handed it to him, smiling, "Have one, it's very sweet."

Luo Qingchen took the sweet potato, sat down on the ground next to him, took a bite, and his mouth was full of juice, crisp and sweet.

Are you free today?

Zhao Shi sat down on the ground and turned to look at him, saying, "Are you doing well there? By the way, how is A-Yun? I haven't seen her for many days. A few days ago, I went to look for her, but that Manager Sun chased me away and scolded me. I only went to bring A-Yun some vegetables to eat, not to ask her for money. A-Yun... seems to be avoiding me and doesn't want to see me."

At this point, his expression somber.

Then, she sighed again: "I know, I know... I didn't stop Father from treating her that way. When we first came here, we had nowhere to stay and no food to eat. What could we do? We could only rely on her... I know Father and I wronged her..."

"Now that Father has passed away, I only hope that she can live a good life from now on..."

He rambled on and on, his expression blank, as if he had a lot to say, and at this moment, he finally had someone to confide in.

Luo Qingchen sat quietly beside her, listening without interrupting.

He didn't tell him about A-Yun, nor did he intend to.

"Brother Shi, I'm going up now."

He suddenly spoke.

Zhao Shi, who was talking to himself with his head down, suddenly stopped and turned to look at him in confusion: "Go up? Go where?"

He looked somewhat bewildered.

Shouldn't people who work with medicine stay here their whole lives? Where else can they go?

Shangbaixianglou?

But suddenly, following his gaze, he looked at the steep stone steps leading straight up behind the town. He was stunned for a moment, and then his heart skipped a beat.

at the same time.

In the front courtyard of Baixianglou, Tian Feng, dressed in a black robe and with a full head of gray hair, had been waiting for a full half hour.

His face grew increasingly grim, and the coldness in his eyes intensified.

Sun Ping had already sent her maid to search the backyard, but there was no one in the rooms there.

"Maybe she went out to buy something, she should be back soon."

That's what she said at first.

As time ticked by and the boy still hadn't returned, she grew anxious, but she forced a smile and said, "That boy probably doesn't have the guts to run away; he's probably been held up by something outside."

In her heart, she suspected: Could it be that the boy eloped with that little slut Qingmei?

Because Qingmei suddenly disappeared too.

At this time, the girls and maids in the building were still awake and were secretly watching the commotion from their windows.

"Guard Luo is finished. Even if he doesn't escape, he'll be beaten half to death when he gets back."

"Hmph, beat him half to death? You're thinking too simply. He'll probably be killed outright. The higher-ups won't show any mercy."

"Oh, how pitiful."

Just then, a girl on the second floor suddenly pointed to the street outside and exclaimed, "Look! It looks like Guard Luo is back!"

Luo Qingchen finally returned to the entrance of Baixianglou.
