Supreme Emperor of Mist

Chapter 73: Lang [Medicine] House (2)

"Move the medicinal herbs inside!" Er-Lang ordered. Standing by his side is two young courtesans hired from a nearby brothel to accompany him on his way back to the Cloud Plucking Sect.

"Beauty, it was regrettable, but our time ends here. Take this reward and bring yourself away from my face." his mood changed the moment their convoy passes Qin Lan's spiritual cave.

Because the carriage he's sitting on is heightened to a certain degree, it allows him to observe his surrounding to a certain distance. The reason behind the change in his mood is due to what he sees on the farm.

"Only forty columns are in use? What a waste. These people are not only inexperienced but also ignorant!" Er-Lang thought.

If this land was given to him, he's confident he could increase the output of what Qin Lan's group could do. Furthermore, only one-fifth of the farm was used to plant a herb he's yet to see before. The others were all infested with Rock Lotus Plants.

Kicking the door of his carriage, Er-Lang made his way over to the spiritual cave.

"Who's the owner of this spiritual cave? Get the hell out here." Er-Lang's piercing voice and usage of words managed to irk everyone's mood inside the spiritual cave while they're still enjoying their breakfast.

It was a once-in-a-while opportunity for them to dine together at the same table, but Er-Lang just has to come here to spoil the mood.

"I'll go and teach him a lesson." Lu Yi stands up with the bun still in between his mouth.

"It's fine. Let me go and see what this guy wants." Qin Lan stops Lu Yi from going out and looking for trouble.

This fellow disciple, how may I help you?" Qin Lan politely greets Er-Lang the moment he came out from the spiritual cave.

"Are you the one that concocts the Essence Transformation Pill sold in the Outer Market Valley yesterday?" Er-Lang questioned Qin Lan straightaway. As a fellow alchemist, his sense of smell is far greater than the others as he noticed the remnant of medicinal fragrance on Qin Lan's hand.

"Indeed. That'll be me. How may I address this fellow disciple?" Qin Lan smiled and admitted. There's nothing much for him to require to hide from.

"Er-Lang from the Lang [Medicine] House. You should be honored that I made a stop outside of your shabby spiritual cave today." Er-Lang proudly added the second sentence to make himself sounded like a significant individual.

"Oh?" Qin Lan's reaction caught Er-Lang unaware as he suddenly revealed a blank expression.

"Is it because the road outside failed to support the weight of your carriage? How unfortunate..." what's following from Qin Lan's mouth pissed Er-Lang. Instead of being intimidated, Qin Lan actually shifted his attention to the horse carriage waiting outside.

One of the wheels is stuck inside the softer ground as it was parked there for a while now.

"Th - This..." Er-Lang is speechless by this embarrassing moment.

"Guys! There's a horse carriage with its wheel stuck in the mud. Come out and give it a hand, would you?" Qin Lan turned his head around and looked inside the spiritual cave. Everyone else came out after hearing what he just said.

Without speaking a single word, Lu Yi, Huo Zunjie, Qin Fan, and the Li brothers went to the back of the carriage and gave it a push.

Their action made the horse carriage unconsciously moves further away from Qin Lan's spiritual cave. It also allows the people to use the path without disruption.

"Who allows you to move my carriage without my permission?" Er-Lang asked. A vein or two is bulging out from anger.

"It was my doorstep. Who needs your permission?" Qin Lan stopped being considerate with Er-Lang and his words. His reply made Er-Lang gathered some Spiritual Energy in his palm to prepare for an attack.

"Brat... Better control your mouth before you make enemies with the wrong people. Do you know who you're messing with right now?" Er-Lang asked. The Spiritual Energy around his right palm still lingers there as he speaks.

"Er-Lang from the Lang [Medicine] House. Did I miss anything else? Why are you here uninvited? Is there anything important that you'll have to see me personally?" Qin Lan answered and questioned him for his uninvited arrival to his humble abode.

"I believe we're not acquainted through anyone I know. Please state the reason for your visit and standing inside my place right now." Qin Lan emitted about the same Spiritual Energy Er-Lang used around his body. His action is akin to fighting fire with fire.

"Humph!" Er-Lang gets rid of the Spiritual Energy after a harumph. Although he was hot-tempered, he wasn't as irrational as Lu Yi when it's about understanding the situation. There's just not much of a profit for them if he made his move right now.

Looking at the yield of Qin Lan's farm, there's not much profit at all. Furthermore, it was a foolish move in his opinion for Qin Lan to plant two types of Spiritual Herbs in a location with a low concentration of Spiritual Energy.

It was like forcing a drying well to produce enough water to sustain the crops enough to feed an army.

"I was going to be considerate to the juniors at first, but the tone of your speech made me reconsidered my generosity. Looks like there's nothing much for the Lang [Medicine] House to help here." Er-Lang said.

"But as your senior, we're not that selfish either. If there's something you need, feel free to come to cave number 10. That's where the Lang [Medicine] House's headquarter is located. We'll be around to lend you a hand when needed." he added.

With both of his hands placed on his back, Er-Lang left after he finished what he was going to say.

"Thank you for your kind words, senior brother Er-Lang!" Qin Lan smirked the moment Er-Lang is just two steps away from leaving his place. Since the seed of hostility has been planted, there's no reason for Qin Lan to amend it like it was due to his mistake.

To him, hostility is best to serve when it was still warm.

"But don't worry because there might be nothing the Lang [Medicine] House can help. Our medicinal product is just too unique, that's all." Qin Lan chuckled as he dug the soil where Er-Lang was standing earlier and tossed them out of his farm.

"Let's get some soil back to our place! It was dirtied!" Qin Lan loudly yelled as he tries to provoke Er-Lang further.
