On the mountaintop, it was utterly quiet; everyone had surely gone to the front mountain to resist the Li family.

David Walker, following Frank Thompson's description, headed toward the Sand Serpent Bandit leader's bedroom. According to Frank Thompson, the leader had hidden all the treasures plundered over the years under his bed.

If it weren't for one of the leader's concubines, who often disguised herself as an ordinary person to shop in Fenghuo City and was approached by Frank Thompson, no one would have known where the Sand Serpent Bandit leader's treasures were hidden.

Before long, David Walker arrived at the leader's bedroom. After lifting the floorboards under the bed, he indeed found two large chests and one small chest.

The two large chests were filled entirely with gleaming silver, while the small chest was packed with silver notes.

David Walker was overjoyed. With no time to count, he stored everything in the Supreme Divine Hall, then, in a flash, sped back along the way he had come.

After descending the mountain, David Walker did not pause and headed straight for Fenghuo City.

This time, regardless of whether the Li family won or lost, it was destined to be a wasted effort for them.

A few hours later, David Walker returned to the Lu family. Upon arrival, he greeted Sarah Thompson and then went straight to his room, entered the Supreme Divine Hall, and hurriedly began counting.

The final tally left David Walker utterly astonished.

There were a full one hundred thousand taels in silver notes, and the two large chests of silver totaled thirty thousand taels.

Altogether, there were one hundred and thirty thousand taels.

It was clear that over the years, the Sand Serpent Bandits had truly plundered a great deal of treasure, but now it had all fallen into David Walker's hands.

"With this silver, I can buy a large amount of Dragon Tiger Pills for cultivation. Grace Walker, at the Lu family clan meeting in just over a month, you can forget about taking control of the Lu family. Also, I will reclaim what belongs to me."

David Walker clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with unyielding determination.

Afterward, David Walker exited the Supreme Divine Hall and headed toward the marketplace in Fenghuo City.

The marketplace in Fenghuo City was the most bustling area, filled with all kinds of shops.

There were pill shops, weapon shops, material shops, and so on. Merchant caravans from all over came and went, and the population was constantly flowing.

On the way, David Walker bought a set of black robes and a black bamboo hat, wrapping himself completely in the hat and robe.

This time, he was going to buy a large quantity of Dragon Tiger Pills and absolutely could not let anyone discover his identity.

Lingyao Hall was the largest pill shop in Fenghuo City, covering ten acres and rising four stories high—extremely spacious.

It was said that Lingyao Hall had powerful backing, supported by the Xuanyuan Sword Sect.

Upon entering Lingyao Hall, a young girl immediately greeted him with a charming smile: "Honored guest, how may I help you?"

She had seen many eccentric customers, so she wasn't at all surprised by David Walker's black robe and bamboo hat.

In fact, such eccentric customers often brought bigger business.

"I want to buy Dragon Tiger Pills. What are your prices here?"

David Walker deliberately lowered his voice, making it sound much deeper, like a man in his thirties.

"Honored guest, a first-grade low-quality Dragon Tiger Pill is one hundred taels of silver each; first-grade mid-quality is three hundred taels each; first-grade high-quality is one thousand taels each. Which grade would you like to purchase, and how many?"

The female clerk asked.

Pills were also divided into nine grades, each grade further split into high, mid, and low quality.

"Thirty first-grade low-quality, and thirty first-grade mid-quality," David Walker said.

"This... this many?" The female clerk was shocked, then became ecstatic, her attitude even more respectful. "Honored guest, your purchase exceeds ten thousand taels of silver. I can't make this decision; our hall master must handle it personally. Please wait a moment while I report to the hall master."

With that, the clerk hurried into the back hall.

Moments later, she returned and said, "Honored guest, our hall master invites you to the back hall for a discussion."

David Walker nodded and followed the clerk to the back hall.

The clerk poured tea for David Walker and then withdrew.

The back hall was elegantly decorated. David Walker glanced around casually, picked up the tea, and took a few sips.

At that moment, a waft of fragrance drifted in, and a young woman of about twenty entered.

She wore a red long dress, her figure graceful, and her beauty was stunning.

"Honored guest, I am Helen Moore, the hall master of Lingyao Hall. I heard you wish to buy thirty first-grade low-quality Dragon Tiger Pills and thirty first-grade mid-quality Dragon Tiger Pills?"

Her voice was very pleasant.

David Walker took a deep breath and replied in a low voice, "That's right!"

"For customers who spend over ten thousand taels in a single purchase, we offer a ten percent discount. The total for the pills comes to twelve thousand taels of silver; with the discount, it's ten thousand eight hundred taels."

Helen Moore said sweetly, her beautiful eyes sweeping over David Walker.

"Thank you, Master Mu." David Walker cupped his fists in thanks.

Then, Helen Moore clapped her hands, and a maid entered carrying two boxes, each containing thirty Dragon Tiger Pills.

David Walker also took out ten thousand eight hundred taels in silver notes and handed them to Helen Moore.

"Master Mu, I will take my leave now." Taking the Dragon Tiger Pills, David Walker bid farewell to Helen Moore.
