Urban Martial Arts System - Chapter 74

Chapter 74: The Clown Can Easily Be Killed

In today’s world, alchemists were no longer just rare, they disappeared.

The various elixirs out there were actually nothing more than pills. The real pills were almost all just legends. Why would Zhang Bufan prefer to dissolve the pill in water to create the so-called Ethereal Water to gather wealth, rather than directly sell the pill? If he could sell the pill, the price would reach the sky. It’s possible to sell it for hundreds of millions and billions.

If it was dissolved even in 20 tons of water, that could only fetch for tens of millions at most.

However, Zhang Bufan would rather choose the relatively unprofitable Ethereal Water instead of selling the pill just to not reveal the alchemist’s identiy.

Selling Ethereal Water, others would just think that Zhang Bufan was a master of medicine or had mastered some secret recipe. At this level, it wouldn’t attract too much power.

However, once the identity of the alchemist was exposed, the whole world would do crazy antics to Zhang Bufan to acquire the alchemist. It was the so-called enemy of the world. Zhang Bufan could not hog the alchemist with his own power. Even though he was personally strong, his circle wasn’t at par. Unless, he was willing to be a street rat.

Although Zhang Bufan didn’t want to reveal the identity of the alchemist, it was a pity that Zhou Ping had already seen through him.

No wonder his self-esteem was so high, he saw all beings like ants, thinking that he was beyond the existence of mortals.

Zhang Bufan used the elixir with such pride, that he thought he was the only one in the world who could use alchemy. It was ridiculous. One must know that in the world of crouching tigers and hidden dragons, there was no guarantee that anyone could not recognize the effect of the pill. Once Zhang Bufan was found carrying the inheritance of the alchemist, he was afraid that there would be no peace in the future.

It happened that he was so arrogant, he almost died.

Zhou Ping squinted his eyes and stopped looking at Zhang Bufan. Now that he had an insight into everything about Zhang Bufan, Zhang Bufan was nothing more than a clown.

Zhang Bufan didn’t know that he had been labeled as a jumping clown by Zhou Ping. At this moment, he was looking down at everyone with a proud face.

“Everyone, what do you think about my Ethereal Water?” Zhang Bufan’s voice was arrogant.

“It tastes good.” Someone smacked his lips.

“It can sober me up. I don’t sense other things, though.”

“Really? Are you carefully sensing it? As a reminder, it’s best to take a look at your internal strength.” Zhang Bufan looked at the person playfully.

The man froze for a moment, then he really closed his eyes and began to feel his inner strength.

“What…” Within half a minute, the person suddenly exclaimed. “My, my internal strength has actually increased a bit. And my meridians…”

“What’s wrong with your meridians?” someone next to him couldn’t wait and asked.

“My meridians have suffered some injuries due to the excessive force while I was  cultivating the internal strength of the Yang system. Now the wounds on this meridian have actually recovered a little.”

The man looked at Zhang Bufan with bright eyes. “Ethereal Water? Is it called Ethereal Water? If I drink more of that kind of Ethereal Water, my meridian injuries will definitely recover completely. My internal strength will also increase a lot. How much Ethereal Water do you have? I want it all.”

Hearing this person’s words, other people also checked their bodies carefully.

“My body’s dark injuries are showing signs of recovery!”

“My external strength broke through!” a lucky guy who happened to be stuck at the breakthrough point exclaimed excitedly.

“Wow…” The audience was excited.

“How much is this Ethereal Water? I’ll buy it! Money is not a problem. You can open it up!”

“What do you want? Position? Money? Beauties? Just give me Ethereal Water, and I will give you what you want!”

Seeing the crazy crowd in the audience, Zhang Bufan smiled with satisfaction.

“Yanping nobles are nothing more than this. In front of the ethereal water, these nobles are no more than dogs.” Zhang Bufan looked at these crazy-faced dignitaries, revealing a trace of imperceptible contempt, and then cast his eyes on Zhou Ping.

“Isn’t this Young Master Zhou? I don’t know if your Zhou family won’t bow their heads after seeing the Ethereal Water. It’s a pity that I will not cooperate with your Zhou family.

“If you offend me, how can I treat it as if it never happened? Boy, I said you will regret it.”

Zhang Bufan retracted his gaze, looked at the crowd in front of him again, and motioned to Young Master Wu beside him. “Don’t worry, everyone, no matter how much you want, I will provide it to you!” Young Master Wusaw Zhang Bufan’s gesture and stood up.

Hearing what Young Master Wu said, the crowd finally calmed down. Seeing this, Young Master Wu quickly added, “In fact, we came to Yanping this time mainly to cooperate with everyone. Everyone has experienced the effect of this Ethereal Water. What do you think of the effect?”

“Powerful! Amazing!”

“Never heard of such amazing water!”

“I can feel the smell of medicinal materials, but the main smell is the fragrance… The people who can formulate this kind of medicine are definitely doctors!”

People who had drunk Ethereal Water gave their own evaluations. Everybody applauded, and no one said it was bad.

“Then what if this ethereal water is being sold?” Young Master Wu chuckled and threw a blockbuster bomb.

“What? For sale?”

“Such magical Ethereal Water, you’re actually selling it? This means that Ethereal Water can be mass-produced?”

Except for those who already knew the situation, the remaining powerful were all horrified and stunned.

“Yes, this Ethereal Water can already be mass-produced. If you inquire about it, you will know that we have actually begun to sell it. It’s just a small area, only in a province,” Zhang Bufan stood up and said.

After Zhang Bufan finished speaking, a group of people took out their phones one after another. Ten minutes later, Zhang Bufan and others were surrounded by a crowd.

“Cooperation. My Zhao family is willing to cooperate with you.”

“Cooperate with my Shangguan family, and my Shangguan family promises to sell your ethereal water all over the country.”

“What is the whole country? If you cooperate with our Wang family, we can not only sell to the whole country, but we can also sell it to the international market…”

Almost everyone surrounded Zhang Bufan, and only three people in the audience did not move: Zhou Ping, Xu Xiaoxuan, and Huo Churou.

“Why don’t you ask for cooperation?” Huo Churou, who had sobered up, walked towards Zhou Ping.

“As long as Aping doesn’t intervene, everybody will give my Xu family a face if I ask for whatever I want.” Xu Xiaoxuan looked at Huo Churou with pride.

“What about you? Why don’t you ask?” Xu Xiaoxuan asked Huo Churou back.

“There are really not many who can bypass my Huo family.” Huo Churou also looked proud and looked at Xu Xiaoxuan provocatively.

“Well, you two are bragging. You have been fighting each other since elementary school, and it’s still the same now.” Zhou Ping looked at the two who were vindictive with each other and said uncomfortably.

The two women immediately got embarrassed. In front of the Zhou family, no one could mention their family background.

“This is extraordinary. What do you think of him, Aping? I always think he is not a good person.” Huo Churou looked away from Xu Xiaoxuan and looked at Zhou Ping.

“But if you jump the clown, you can easily kill it.” Zhou Ping said flatly.
