#196 - Chapter 196 Goodbye Lin Wan'er

Cheng Feng had people inquire about the medicinal ingredients needed for the Tiger Bone Soup recipe in the Dragon Bone Secrets. The auxiliary ingredients were already complete, and the three main ingredients were: Tiger Bone, Tianmu Gap, and Needle Blue Flower.

Tiger Bone could only be bought in Qingxi County, while Tianmu Gap and Needle Blue Flower were not sold in any pharmacy in the entire Qingxi County.

Cheng Feng held the Dragon Bone Secrets, feeling somewhat helpless. Although it had broadened his horizons, now even buying medicine had become a problem, and he could only worry.

It's tasteless to eat and a pity to discard!

This made Cheng Feng realize that Qingxi County was indeed too small. No wonder it was said that it was difficult to make a living in the state capital. Warriors who left the county town almost all flocked to the state capital, where people of all kinds mingled, making it indeed difficult to stand out.

However, the tranquility and isolation of Qingxi County made him feel a sense of helplessness. He understood that if he wanted to achieve greater development, he had to leave this place and seek opportunities in a wider world.

"Perhaps, it's time to go to the state capital and take a look?" Cheng Feng sat at his desk, gently tapping his fingers on the surface, his eyes deep and firm. He seemed to see a brand new path, which might bring him more opportunities and challenges. A light flashed in his eyes, which was then replaced by a hint of doubt.

"State capital... unfamiliar place, everything is unknown," Cheng Feng muttered to himself, his tone tinged with hesitation.

Leaving Qingxi County meant entering a strange world, where the warriors' levels were certainly higher and the competition was more intense. For him at the moment, venturing into the state capital alone did not seem like a wise move.

He thought of the women, children, and elderly parents at home, who were the most important people in his life. If he left Qingxi County, the long separation would make him worry incessantly.

The women are all important figures for me to improve my strength, and the resources are also for the sake of the women and children.

Having a stable career and foundation in Qingxi County, giving up these to pursue an unknown future was too risky.

"Perhaps, there are other ways to improve my strength?" Cheng Feng frowned, pondering other possibilities. Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "That's right, I can ask Wang Hu!"

Cheng Feng immediately stood up and hurried towards the Hongmen Sect Leader's study. As the Vice Sect Leader of Hongmen, Wang Hu was knowledgeable and experienced. Perhaps he could provide some useful advice or help in finding other ways to improve his strength.

Arriving at the door of the study, Cheng Feng couldn't wait to push the door open, only to see Wang Hu sitting at the table with a serious face. Wang Hu saw Cheng Feng's anxious expression and couldn't help but feel nervous, wondering: Has something urgent happened again?

Cheng Feng looked at Wang Hu and said, "I need a medicinal ingredient called Needle Blue Flower as a main ingredient. I've searched all the major pharmacies in Qingxi County, but they don't sell it. Do you have any way or connections to buy medicine in the state capital?"

"Send a few disciples?" Wang Hu tentatively asked.

"Do I need you to tell me that? Don't you see the situation with the refugees outside? If they take the silver, I'm afraid they'll be robbed before they can run ten miles."

Wang Hu thought about the connections and channels he had handled and his eyes lit up: "I've got it, what about the镖局 (Biao Ju/Security Escort Company)? The镖局 (Biao Ju/Security Escort Company) cooperated with the Tieshan Martial Arts School, and its strength is guaranteed."

Cheng Feng rolled his eyes: "That's my master's martial arts school business, how could I not know? They haven't been taking jobs to the state capital recently, no chance."

Wang Hu also frowned and muttered: "Let me think, the Lin family's merchant team is leaving tomorrow, but they don't take private work, that won't work. The Weiyuan镖局 (Biao Ju/Security Escort Company)'s scope doesn't include the state capital either..."

Cheng Feng suddenly interrupted Wang Hu: "Wait, which family's merchant team did you say is leaving tomorrow?"

Wang Hu was stunned and asked suspiciously: "The Lin family's merchant team. Sect Leader, you may not know, but they never take private work! Moreover, our Hongmen Sect hasn't even established a firm foothold in the south of the city yet. Isn't it a bit unwise to provoke the Lin family at this time?"

Cheng Feng frowned and asked, "Oh? The Lin family in the north of the city?"

Wang Hu nodded helplessly and replied, "That's right, it's that family in the north of the city. They specialize in the grain business. During this famine year, if it weren't for their help in managing the grain, everyone would probably starve to death."

The corners of Cheng Feng's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile, and said, "Well, I understand. You can go down first."

Looking at Cheng Feng's confident appearance, Wang Hu couldn't help but mutter in his heart. He couldn't understand why the Sect Leader was so sure. After all, he had never heard of the Sect Leader having any relationship with the Lin family in the north of the city.

After Wang Hu left, Cheng Feng sat in his chair, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and fell into contemplation. He secretly pondered how to use the Lin family's resources to solve the current predicament.

He was the man who had bought the Lin family's mansion and saved Lin Wan'er's life. If he could get the Lin family's help, he might be able to solve this problem smoothly.

Cheng Feng pondered to himself that if Wu Feng and Xu Miao took the Tiger Bone Soup, it might increase their chances of entering the Bone Refinement Stage. Thinking of this, he decided to go to visit the Lin family in person, hoping to find an opportunity to buy medicine.

Soon after, a carriage slowly parked in front of the Lin mansion. Cheng Feng quietly waited for the Lin family's servant to go in and report.

Before long, Lin Wan'er rushed out of the mansion, her face full of joy.

When she saw Cheng Feng waiting outside the door, she immediately glared at the servant beside her and said, "Cheng Feng is a distinguished guest of our family. You must remember this in your hearts. If he visits again in the future, there is no need to report. Just lead him directly into the hall." The Lin family's servants nodded quickly, indicating that they understood.

Then, Lin Wan'er walked quickly to Cheng Feng and said softly, "Brother Cheng, please come in quickly, let's talk inside."

Looking at Lin Wan'er's affectionate attitude towards him, Cheng Feng's inner tension dissipated a lot.

He smiled and replied, "Okay, then let's talk in detail inside."

The Lin family's servants witnessed this scene, and they were all dumbfounded, and couldn't help but think to themselves: "Who is this man, that the Lin family's direct daughter would be so gentle and considerate to this man?"

Cheng Feng had never seen the aloof side of Lin Wan'er since he met her. In Cheng Feng's heart, Lin Wan'er had always been gentle and lovely.

Looking at Lin Wan'er, who had a gentle attitude towards him, Cheng Feng directly opened his mouth
