Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming Chapter 260 - 158: Traveling Alone, Seeking Medicine from Pl
This made Zhou Chun also feel a bit more anticipation.
After so investigation, he walked into a shop nad "Wood Rock Residence" within the marketplace.
The "Wood Rock Residence" was a general store that sold Spiritual dicine, Spirit Gold ore, and such, albeit at prices slightly higher than the market average.
Upon entering, Zhou Chun saw the shopkeeper conducting a transaction with a custor.
Upon his arrival, although the shopkeeper was only of the Qi Refinent Realm, he didn’t neglect the previous custor due to Zhou Chun being a Foundation Establishnt cultivator.
Instead, he offered an apologetic bow and said, "Senior, please wait a mont, junior will attend to you after finishing the transaction with this Taoist Friend."
Perhaps it was this attitude that greatly satisfied the custor of the Qi Refinent Realm.
Soon after, the custor happily paid in Spirit Coins and left the shop with his purchase.
Only then did the gray-haired shopkeeper co forward with an apologetic face to Zhou Chun and said, "Senior, my apologies for the long wait, allow to apologize again."
"It’s no trouble, it’s only natural to attend to matters in the order they are received. Shopkeeper, you’ve done nothing wrong," Zhou Chun said, waving his hand dismissively.
Then he looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "I wonder if your esteed shop has any Golden Leaf Bamboo Root that is over five hundred years old and premium-grade Gold-Eating Rat gallbladders for sale?"
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper imdiately shook his head and said, "Senior, we do have those two Spiritual Objects in our store. However, their age and quality don’t et your requirents."
Zhou Chun had already anticipated this response.
After all, Golden Leaf Bamboo Root that is over five hundred years old can not only be used to refine the Golden Spirit Qi Balming Powder but also to concoct even more advanced elixirs. How could it possibly be available in an ordinary shop?
As for premium-grade Gold-Eating Rat gallbladders, it had to be freshly extracted from a tier-one premium Demon Beast, the Gold-Eating Rat.
Typically such a superior Gold-Eating Rat served as the Rat King of a rat pack. Capturing it alive to obtain its gallbladder was extrely difficult!
Therefore, he did not show any sign of disappointnt but continued to address the shopkeeper, "I heard that your shop conducts business of rewarding those seeking Spiritual Objects. If Jiang is willing to offer a price one and a half tis higher than the market value for these two items, what do you think, shopkeeper?"
Rewarding seekers of Spiritual Objects was a special type of business conducted by so marketplace shops.
Generally, this service was provided by shops with a wide range of connections.
Based on the value of the desired Spiritual Objects, they would allow the client to add a certain reward amount and then use their own powerful connections to collect the relevant Spiritual Objects for the client.
Zhou Chun had found out that "Wood Rock Residence" carried out such business and had therefore co to inquire.
Upon hearing Zhou Chun’s words, the shopkeeper hastily replied, "Indeed, our store does engage in the business of rewarding seekers, but if senior wants to pursue this service, it’s beyond my authority to decide."
"Then please have soone who can make that decision co over," Zhou Chun said while motioning with his hand.
The shopkeeper bowed and replied, "Then I respectfully ask senior to co again at dusk. The great steward of our shop should be here by then."
"Alright, Jiang will co again at dusk," Zhou Chun looked at the shopkeeper for a mont, and eventually nodded before turning to leave the shop.
After he left, the shopkeeper quickly shut the door and went to the shop’s backyard.
Not long after, he returned to the front hall and reopened the door to resu business.
When dusk ca, Zhou Chun arrived at the "Wood Rock Residence" as promised.
Seeing him arrive, the shopkeeper hurriedly went up to him and said, "Junior has seen senior. The great steward is already waiting in the backyard. I will take you to et him."
After speaking, he led Zhou Chun to a guest hall in the backyard, then returned to the front hall himself.
Zhou Chun walked into the hall with its doors ajar and saw a middle-aged woman of mid-Stage Foundation Establishnt brewing tea.
Upon his entry, she stood up to greet him, "Taoist Friend Jiang is honored. My surna is Luo, given na Qingyi, currently the manager of this Wood Rock Residence."
"Taoist Friend Luo is honored. My surna is Jiang, given na Zishan, from Yunzhou," Zhou Chun bowed and reported his assud identity and origins.
Hearing this, the woman nad Luo Qingyi just smiled, neither clearly believing nor disbelieving.
She then slightly raised her hand in a welcoming gesture and said, "Please take a seat, Taoist Friend Jiang. Have a cup of tea before we talk."
While saying that, she poured a steaming cup of tea and handed it to Zhou Chun.
"Thank you for the tea, Taoist Friend Luo," Zhou Chun expressed his gratitude but only took a mont to sniff the aroma of the tea before setting it down on the table.
Being a traveler, he naturally didn’t dare to truly drink any tea or alcohol given by strangers, a token gesture sufficed as enough courtesy.
Luo Qingyi did not show any displeasure at this.
She simply enjoyed a sip of her hot tea before looking at Zhou Chun and asking, "Did Taoist Friend Jiang co all the way from Yunzhou just to purchase two types of Spiritual dicine?"
"Yes, Jiang sought information far and wide and learned that only in Cangzhou of Jingguo Country might I possibly find Golden Leaf Bamboo Root and premium-grade Gold-Eating Rat gallbladders that are over five hundred years old," Zhou Chun nodded firmly without hesitation.
This was not a matter in need of secrecy, therefore, there was no harm in admitting it.
Seeing this, Luo Qingyi continued, "Golden Leaf Bamboo Grass of over five hundred years is extrely rare, almost non-existent in the wild, and can only be found in dicine Gardens owned by various families."
