Chapter 439: Chapter 228: Citywide Manhunt, Astronomical Bounty (Part 3)

"The underground passage belongs to the Cyan Snake Demon clan. If we rush in, we might suffer losses."

"What’s there to fear about suffering losses? Jiang Feng has that Dragon Bone Bow, an Innate Magical Artifact. If we get our hands on it, the Cyan Snake Demon clan is nothing."

"Brothers, don’t be impulsive. We are not the only ones trying to capture Jiang Feng for the bounty; we must think long-term."

"Big Brother is right. The urgent task now is to find ways to replenish Spirit Medicine and Spirit Herbs."

"What kind of wretched place is this Dragon Capital?"

"It’s infuriating! Why don’t we snatch some from the Imperial City?"

The three of them walked out of the Black Market together.

He came to the Dragon Capital for the bounty and the Underground Palace, only to find that the cultivation resources in the Dragon Capital were scarce, and almost all resources were controlled by the Royal Family.

Either join the Purple Bamboo Forest and serve the Royal Family.

Or starve and compete with other cultivators.

"The Divine Sect will stop at nothing to deal with me."

Jiang Feng sighed.

He already knew that the Divine Sect had issued a bounty for him.

Just as those three had discussed.

Anyone who could provide his whereabouts and help the Divine Sect find him would receive a Mid-Grade Magical Artifact from the Divine Sect.

If captured, there would be a reward of tens of thousands of Spirit Stones and a Divine Sect heritage Cultivation Technique, and even the Dragon Bone Bow would belong to them.

With the news spreading, cultivators everywhere were ready to move, and countless people flocked to the area.

Jiang Feng felt the pressure and was contemplating whether to leave the Dragon Capital and find refuge elsewhere.

However, no one was sure whether he was still in the Dragon Capital or hiding in the underground passage. His whereabouts were unknown.

Under the protection of the Thousand Faces skill, Jiang Feng was fearless.

The only thing he feared was the Celestial Calculation Divine Skill of the Divine Sect.

But this Magic Sect technique had significant backlash, as Little Cyan Snake had told him, the Celestial Calculation Divine Heir of the Divine Sect couldn’t use it much longer.

He calculated.

He hid in the Hundred Thousand Mountains and was found by the Saintess, which surely meant that the Celestial Calculation Divine Heir had calculated once. Later, when he reached the Southern Turkic, the Celestial Calculation Divine Heir must have calculated again.

Then, when he was discovered in the Dragon Capital by the Saintess, the Celestial Calculation Divine Heir likely calculated yet again.

With three consecutive backlashes, the Celestial Calculation Divine Heir was likely at death’s door. Even if not dead, he couldn’t make another calculation.

The more chaotic the Dragon Capital became with an influx of cultivators, the more advantageous it was for Jiang Feng to remain hidden. The more cultivators there were, with Spiritual Qi fluctuating everywhere, the more challenging it would be for people from the Divine Sect to investigate.

Moreover, he had now become the shopkeeper of a Black Market pharmacy, transforming from a cultivator into a Martial Cultivator. Even if he encountered a Divine Sect disciple, or even the Saintess standing before him, they might not necessarily recognize him.

"Shopkeeper, I’d like to get some medicine."

At this moment, a familiar voice came through.

Jiang Feng was extremely surprised when he looked up; the visitor was none other than Chu Tianhe, the Prison Army Commander of Zhenbei Prison. Zhenbei Prison had recently been rebuilt and reopened just the day before, and everyone had returned to their posts.

Jiang Feng also learned that Han Dong and Uncle Huo’s family had been released from the Imperial City.

Though not as clever as Han Dong, Jiang Feng guessed the Emperor’s intention in releasing Han Dong and Uncle Huo’s family after he had escaped the Dragon Capital.

He didn’t fall for it.

He pretended to know nothing.

"Alright, let me see your prescription."

Jiang Feng took Chu Tianhe’s prescription and, upon opening it, found it familiar. After thinking for a moment, Jiang Feng suddenly realized that this was the prescription Han Dong had given him one night when he was injured and hiding in his room in Chaoyang Lane, asking Jiang Feng to help him get the medicine from the Black Market.

Back then, to avoid drawing attention, Jiang Feng had divided the prescription into parts and obtained them from different pharmacies, later separating and boiling the necessary herbs himself for Han Dong to drink.

Why was Chu Tianhe getting the same medicine as Han Dong did back then?

Could it be that he was injured too?

Jiang Feng casually used his Spiritual Sense.

Under the cover of his Spiritual Sense, Chu Tianhe’s physical condition was clear; he was not injured at all.

Could it be Han Dong who was injured?

"Shopkeeper, does your pharmacy have it or not?"

Seeing Jiang Feng dazed for a while, Chu Tianhe asked urgently.

"Yes, how many portions do you need?"

Jiang Feng replied awkwardly.

"Ten portions."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Jiang Feng promptly prepared the medicine for Chu Tianhe according to the prescription. The ten portions of medicine were quickly ready, and he bundled them together and handed them to Chu Tianhe.

After paying the silver taels, Chu Tianhe was about to leave.

"The medicine you got contains several potent medicinal herbs. If a woman takes them, you should be careful."

Jiang Feng feigned a reminder.

"Careful about what?"

Chu Tianhe frowned.

"A woman’s body is frail, and her Qi Blood isn’t as strong as ours. When boiling the medicine, add a little more water."

Jiang Feng smiled.

Chu Tianhe nodded thoughtfully and quickly left the Black Market without staying any longer.

"I just hope it’s a coincidence, and Sister Dong isn’t the one in trouble. If it is Sister Dong, based on her previous condition, even if she takes the medicine, it should be fine."

"Just don’t know, if it’s her, who hurt her?"

Jiang Feng couldn’t figure it out and realized that Han Dong was hiding quite a few things from him.

In the early hours of the morning, two more cultivators entered the Black Market, asking at every pharmacy if there were any Spirit Herbs and Elixirs like Reishi Grass or Lingxi Grass.

Jiang Feng politely declined.

As three hours passed, he locked up the pharmacy and left the Black Market alone, walking into an alley closest to the Black Market.

The alley housed many people who lived by the Black Market.

The alley was thus named, and locals called it Black Alley.

Jiang Feng had bought a small courtyard here.
