Chapter 379: Black Robe (II)
A gentle, chilly breeze swept through Cloud Crowned Peak Market, causing the pole in front of the door to sway. A black and red flag emblazoned with the character "Li" fluttered conspicuously in the wind.
The dark threshold was marred by more than a dozen footprints, lending it a distinctly worn appearance. A middle-aged man, slouched over, sat silently on the threshold with his chin in his hand, watching the world pass by.
A cultivator clad in gray paused briefly before him and asked, "Brother Yun, do you still have any pills in stock?"
A few days ago, the Li Family store had released over a dozen bottles of high-quality pills at a reasonable price, attracting a large crowd and selling out in less than a day. As a result, passing cultivators frequently inquired about them.
Li Yuanyun looked up and drawled, "Already sold out long ago."
The man waved his sleeve and walked away, muttering something to himself.
Li Yuanyun knew this person well—a regular Embryonic Breathing Realm cultivator at the market.
Since he was not highly skilled, he could not afford to provoke the Li Family. Despite being a mortal, Li Yuanyun still belonged to the main family's lineage, which usually earned him some respect. As a result, he was bold enough to show his bad mood in the cultivator's presence openly.
After the cultivator left, Li Yuanyun continued to sit on the threshold with a somber expression. Now in his thirties and showing his age, he now appeared even older since the death of his father, Li Xuanling.
