Chapter Ch198 - Buy Buy Buy

At a glance, it was densely packed with countless, transparent square fras. There was a dicinal herb stalk or so other variety of dicinal ingredient quietly floating in each fra.

The square fras covered all four walls of the first floor. In front of each wall, there were a dozen or so Myriad dicine Tower attendants, who were prepared to greet arriving custors at any ti.

The square fras were all sealed up. The dicinal fragrance didn’t actually seep out from the square fras, but it still penetrated deeply into one’s heart. It let a person imrse themselves in the world of dicinal ingredients the mont they entered, like falling into a dream.

Gu Zuo carefully examined those square fras.

It’s said that these square fras weren’t made of glass... He didn’t know what material it was made out of, but it clearly wasn’t cheap.

En, the Myriad dicine Tower indeed had a lot of style.

However, Gu Zuo didn’t co to the Myriad dicine Tower to research the material of those square fras. Rather, it was to purchase dicinal ingredients. Thus, in accordance with the Myriad dicine Tower’s rules, he began to calmly look at the first wall. At the sa ti, he silently noted the dicinal ingredients he wanted to buy as well as the amounts for each ingredient.

It was a so-called purchasing spree. The length of ti he would spend here would be rather long.

One couldn’t help noting that when it ca to the dicinal ingredients in the Myriad dicine Tower, the product grades were all very good and the variety was also really comprehensive.

It didn’t take long for Gu Zuo to see an unorthodox dicinal herb on the first floor. rely, the nural written in front of that square fra was “28”. This ant that the final stock only had twenty-eight herbs... In a instant, he gave up on his plan of choosing all of his ingredients first and then paying for them.

If he browsed too slowly and these dicinal ingredients were all bought up by other people, what was he to do? It also wasn’t known if he could find them quickly afterwards!

Making his decision, Gu Zuo promptly waved his hand to summon an attendant.

Of course, in order to obtain first-rate service, he directly flashed his gold slip.

— Yes, every person who possessed a gold slip could get an attendant’s personal service. Originally, Gu Zuo wanted to keep a low-profile, but now, he decided it was better to make use of his authority.

Sotis, acting low-profile was just looking for trouble!

That attendant was a charming young man. After seeing the gold slip, he imdiately and politely walked over: “This one is Bing Jin. May I ask what commands this noble custor has?”

Gu Zuo said: “Co with . There are dicinal herbs here whose qualities are in short supply. I need to order them in advance.”

Attendant Bing Jin hastily said: “No problem, no problem. This one will certainly manage the needs of this noble custor.”

Gu Zuo nodded his head: “Then, mark this down first. Starlight Grass, twenty-eight stalks. I want all of it.”

Bing Jin swept a glance at the serial number of the Starlight Grass, and promptly called out to another attendant on the side. That attendant recorded Bing Jin’s hand signal and made the report. All of the Starlight Grass was ordered. Afterwards, even if there was another noble custor with a gold slip, they wouldn’t be able to fight over it with Gu Zuo.

dicinal ingredients were sparse. The faster hand would always be full, and the slower hand would always be empty. There was no reason to negotiate.

After snatching the Starlight Grass, Gu Zuo was in high spirits, and he continued to walk forward.

He carefully looked over every dicinal ingredient. Whenever he saw a type that was rare or low in stock, no matter if he had use for them right now, so long as it was a dicinal ingredient that so pill prescription in his mind required, he would promptly purchase it.

Behind Gu Zuo, Bing Jin, who’d been ordering for him the entire ti, felt his scalp going a little numb.

As an attendant of the Myriad dicine Tower, he definitely had a certain degree of mastery in distinguishing dicinal ingredients. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to satisfy the requests and inquiries of the custors. Even though he had quite an understanding of so pill prescriptions, he couldn’t beco a pharmacist without dicinal beads. Also, he’d never seen such a pharmacist like Gu Zuo — Anything that was unorthodox, he wanted it. Anything that was in short supply, he wanted it. Moreover, he practically couldn’t find any pill prescriptions that could be adjusted to use those dicinal ingredients. This was simply incomprehensible! But the custor was the custor, after all. He could only work accordingly...

All kinds of dicinal ingredients were ordered. After Gu Zuo revealed a little bit of his financial resources, Bing Jin also didn’t have any hesitations. The one with the money was the boss. In any case, it was all about selling dicinal ingredients, and it didn’t matter who it was being sold to.

If the guy wanted to be rich and willful, then just let him! Seeing as how such a young pharmacist possessed a gold slip, perhaps he, Bing Jin, was the one who was ignorant and unable to recognize true greatness?

With clear thinking, Bing Jin happily followed suit no matter what Gu Zuo wanted to order in advance. In passing, he also silently calculated his own percentage cut, and felt that he could make a lot of money with such a big custor!

Of course, in actuality, Gu Zuo hadn’t spent that much of his money.

Everyone knew that regardless of how many successful pills an ordinary pharmacist refined in a cauldron batch, even if there was only a single pill, it would all be sold for huge profits. It could be seen that in the aspect of manufacturing costs, the price of dicinal ingredients was far cheaper than that of dicinal pills.

Just ntioning the most commonly seen Qi Generating Pill, the price of a low grade pill was one gold. As such, there were quite a few types of dicinal herbs for refining a cauldron of Qi Generating Pills, and the price for all of these was less than one gold.

In that way, for the costs apportioned to dicinal ingredients, each batch would be calculated using silver coins or the even cheaper copper coins. One gold was equal to ten silver, and one silver was equal to a thousand copper. Only by purchasing large quantities of dicinal ingredients could it be said that it wasn’t a small amount.

Normally, main ingredients were a bit more expensive, and most auxiliary ingredients were cheap.

On the first floor, unless it was the rare stalks of dicinal herbs which could be valued in gold, the majority were actually valued in copper — Even the ones that were calculated in silver were already considered relatively costly.

After making a round for a little more than two hours, Gu Zuo had given a cursory scan of these couple of walls. He had also cleaned out many of the comparatively rare dicinal ingredients.

But for the specific expenditures... The total was actually just seven to eight hundred gold. As for the dicinal ingredients, there was no less than several hundred types!

After that, Gu Zuo started his second go-around.

Following this, there were also the ones required for the Snowy Ginseng Pill, the Houtian Realm’s ridian Purification Pill, and even the Five Essence Pill — The dicinal ingredients needed for these types of pills were very cumberso, so he could save a lot of trouble here.

In addition to these, there were many dicinal pills that Gu Zuo felt his dear big brother would need in order to establish a team in the future. So he bought the required dicinal ingredients for those prescriptions in large quantities.

Black Frost Flowers, Golden Mound Grass, Fernted Fish Eyes, Arhat Mushrooms, White Leather Ginseng, Tiger Claw Roots... In any case, it was scattered and fragntary. There were at least several hundred to a thousand types, and each type was purchased in innurably high quantities.

In the rear, Bing Jin’s eyes widened.

This big custor...truly was the real deal! He never thought twice about buying anything!

Just before, those purchases didn’t reach a thousand gold. But the current purchases had already exceeded a hundred thousand gold!

No matter what it was, many little drops would make an ocean! No matter how cheaply-priced the dicinal ingredients, if they were all purchased, it definitely wouldn’t be cheap!

Previously, this kind of big spending only appeared with the collective purchases of several comparatively large powers. Could it be that this young pharmacist was also the purchasing agent of so organization?

If not, then this was too outrageous...

Gu Zuo didn’t think about any of this. After he announced his orders, he directly slapped down more than ten sheets of ten-thousand denomination golden banknotes.

The Myriad dicine Tower also wasn’t negligent. In a short period of ti, the dicinal ingredients were ordered together, and packaged using an inter-spatial tool.

Gu Zuo took the offered ring-shaped inter-spatial tool. After examining it, he put it in his sleeve. Soon after, his thoughts moved, and all the ingredients inside the inter-spatial tool entered a region of his storage space which was especially for dicinal ingredients. Following that, he returned the inter-spatial tool to the Myriad dicine Tower’s staff mber who handed over the ingredients.

The happy expression in Bing Jin’s eyes couldn’t be covered up.

By securing this huge list of items, he could earn a huge percentage cut! The amount that fell into his possession would be close to a thousand gold at that ti. This was much higher than his monthly salary!

After this, Gu Zuo opened his mouth again: “I’m going to the second floor. Bing Jin, are you willing to go with ?”

Bing Jin quivered: “Willing! Of course I’m willing to serve this noble custor!”

Gu Zuo nodded his head, and continued leading the way up.

In any case, he felt that the movents of this attendant were very agile and compliant, which made things much easier for him. In order to have soone lending a hand, running errands, and giving introductions later on, he nevertheless let this person take responsibility for it...

Upon reaching the second floor, there were similarly four walls. However, each square fra was sowhat bigger than the ones on the first floor, and the total number of dicinal ingredients was also sowhat smaller.

In here, main ingredients made up the majority, and the auxiliary ingredients that could be placed here weren’t ordinary at all.

— The common varieties were all simply shelved on the first floor.

Gu Zuo still wandered around, and began looking at the first wall.

The dicinal ingredients on this floor were much more expensive than the ones on the first floor. One would understand after thinking about it. Many dicinal pills that were suitable for Xiantian martial artists were priced at several dozen gold to several hundred gold. Although there were reasons why refining was more difficult, the manufacturing cost of the dicinal ingredients was an issue that couldn’t be neglected.

Bing Jin stood next to Gu Zuo, ready to assist with introductions or recording at any ti.

Gu Zuo was the sa as before. When he made his choices, it was particularly...simple and crude.

First of all, just like the first floor, the remote and rare ones as well as the dicinal ingredients that appeared in his pill prescriptions were picked, packaged, and stored. Next, he searched for the main ingredients for commonly used Xiantian Realm dicinal pills based on their prescriptions — For example, the Jinyuan Pill and others like it. Those main ingredients were purchased in bulk. After buying enough main ingredients, then it was the auxiliary ingredients. In short, he bought bought bought them all! He spent money like there was no tomorrow!

Among the biggest harvests was naturally the main ingredient of the Xiantian Pill. A few batches of the main ingredient were very hard to co by. While one could make an exchange in Qingyun Sect, it wasn’t too easy in the end. That was unlike this place, where it could be settled as long as one had money!

Thus, without the slightest hesitation, Gu Zuo bought over a hundred batches of each ingredient — This was already enough for Gu Zuo refine over a thousand Xiantian Pills!

Gu Zuo bought and bought, and his mood was worry-free.

Right now, he started to understand why the girls in his previous world loved to shop. Even though he was a man, it wasn’t a hardship when he purchased the things he liked!

Most of all, when Gu Zuo’s consciousness occasionally wandered into the storage space within his Tianfu Acupoint and looked at all the various, densely-packed dicinal ingredients floating around, a feeling of peace and fullness spontaneously rose up in his heart!

Hoarding dicinal ingredients...

This was probably a pharmacist’s instinct, too.

The second floor’s expenses far exceeded the first floor’s. After a period of such unbridled spending, the variety of dicinal ingredients that Gu Zuo purchased wasn’t as nurous as when he was on the first floor, but the gold he spent was quite a few tis higher.

In the blink of an eye, the Myriad dicine Tower’s managent staff handed him the goods. Then, Gu Zuo swung his hand and took out a stack of golden banknotes. More than four hundred thousand gold was spent.

As soon as the transaction was successful, a voice could be heard once more in his mind.

[Confirming that there are more than one hundred prescriptions. Mission accomplished.]

[Mission Reward has been granted. The host may examine it.]

Gu Zuo’s heart stirred. Sure enough, he “saw” a newly-obtained ancient text in another region of his storage space. He considered giving it a quick browse, but after thinking it over, he decided against it for now.

He wasn’t finished buying dicinal ingredients yet...

Although Bing Jin didn’t know why the noble custor he was leading was just staring blankly ahead, after silently calculating the percentage cut he would obtain this ti around, he shivered thrillingly.

In just a handful of hours, the inco he received was comparable to the percentage cuts for at least one to two years! Being an attendant was also very competitive! One wouldn’t encounter a custor with such a huge order every ti!

Thinking about how he’d just so happened to be standing near this young guy who possessed a gold slip and was coincidentally chosen to accompany him... Bing Jin couldn’t help feeling that his recent luck had been pretty good.

Perhaps he could consider going out of the city to adventure once in a while. Maybe he could pick up so precious treasures.

Gu Zuo finished staring ahead. He turned around and went to the third floor.

There were even fewer dicinal ingredients on this floor. The dicine squares on those four walls no longer dazzled the eyes, but the total amount was still quite high.

After all, there were many Immortal Realm martial artists on the Qingyun Continent. The amount of dicinal pills they needed was also large. At the sa ti, there were many high-level pharmacists.

When Gu Zuo selected dicinal ingredients this ti around, he was much more prudent.

The improvent speed of the Tiandu Body couldn’t be compared to that of ordinary physiques. It probably wouldn’t take too long for his big brother, Gongyi Tianheng, to swiftly improve his strength and becoming an Immortal Realm martial artist.

Before that, he needed to be thoroughly prepared.

He needed to prepare all the dicinal pills required by Immortal Realm martial artists in advance... In addition to the high-quality and inexpensive pill prescriptions for making money, he needed to prepare as many dicinal ingredients inside as possible.

When reaching the Immortal Realm, the pill that was the most suitable for replenishing true qi was no longer the Qi Accumulating Pill.

What Gu Zuo needed to refine as much as possible were top grade Qi Infusing Pills. rely, upon reaching the Immortal Realm, the physical body was valiant, and common treatnt pills wouldn’t have the sa miraculous effects of the Rejuvenation Pill and the Revitalization Pill. If one wanted to give an Immortal Realm martial artist treatnt, each individual needed it to be tailor-made.

Within the pill prescriptions Gu Zuo knew about, there was a magic pill called the tamorphosis Pill. It was a treatnt pill that was very difficult to refine. Only, this type of pill belonged to the Hundred Transformation Pills. No matter what kind of martial artist, if one wanted to rely on this dicinal pill for treatnt, a pharmacist needed to study their constitution. Compatible dicinal ingredients with the sa attributes as the martial artist would then be added to the tamorphosis Pill’s formulation. Otherwise, not only wouldn’t there be any treatnt at that ti, the patient’s condition would also worsen due to attribute repulsion.

Gongyi Tianheng had the Tiandu Body. If Gu Zuo wanted to treat him, it would be even harder... The five elents needed to be in equilibrium for it to work. One point more or one point less, even if it was just slightly partial towards any attribute, and it would be a failure.

What was even more depressing was that whenever a non-top grade dicinal pill was refined, there’d be a trace attribute imbalance to a certain extent. In other words, after reaching the Immortal Realm, that finicky Tiandu Body could only use top grade dicinal pills! If not, it would do more harm than good to him...

Gu Zuo rembered when he just learned about this matter. At the ti, his heart had the urge to shout abuses in the streets. It was just that, as Tianheng treated him better and better, he also began to care more and more about his big brother. As a result, he always wanted to give the best things to his big brother, and he no longer harbored this kind of compelled feeling.

Now that he thought about it, his ntality back then was very interesting.

With such musings, Gu Zuo turned his head and said to Bing Jin: “The purified water of the Enlightened Lotus Dew, Manifold Spirit Stans, Heavenly Poison Honey, the leaves and roots of the Shooting Star Flower... How much of each do you have in stock?”

Bing Jin was already having a hard ti making the appropriate facial expressions. After turning his head and running off to inquire, he returned to give his report: “There’s still three jars of purified water from the Enlightened Lotus Dew, eight bottles of Heavenly Poison Honey, and there’s a lot in stock for the other dicinal ingredients. What are this noble custor’s wishes?”

Gu Zuo nodded his head: “In that case, I want all of it.”

Bing Jin: “...”

Originally, he thought he was already very desensitized. Now it seed that he wasn’t desensitized enough.

Ah, these few dicinal ingredients were all very expensive!

After this, Bing Jin also nodded. He said with a wooden face: “Rest assured, noble custor. I’ll go make this report at once.”

Following this, the accounts were settled once more.

Gu Zuo spent eighty thousand gold.

Just these few dicinal ingredients already overtook the money that was wantonly raked in on the first floor!

It could be seen that, the higher the rank of the pharmacist, the harder it was to afford the dicinal ingredients they used... Fortunately, pharmacists were good at making money. Moreover, a single individual basically wouldn’t make such outrageous purchases like Gu Zuo.

But this wasn’t the end.

Gu Zuo made a few more laps around the third floor. He made a scattered selection of quite a few dicinal ingredients, and they were purchased in large quantities. In the blink of an eye, two to three hundred thousand in golden banknotes were let loose.

Buy and buy so more. Buy and buy so more. Buy and...

Bing Jin chanically followed behind Gu Zuo, and watched this young pharmacist squander... Ah, that was incorrect. He was distributing his wealth.

En, although their Myriad dicine Tower quite grandly sold dicinal ingredients, they were still businessn. And businessn liked custors with big spending habits like this one the most...

Next, Gu Zuo headed to the fourth floor.

As an attendant, Bing Jin originally should’ve followed him upstairs, but how could he when his knowledge of the stock and his own rank were insufficient? At most, he could only receive custors on the first three floors. When custors went to the fourth floor, the appointed personnel’s service definitely had to be even more considerate and thoughtful.

Hence, Bing Jin reluctantly delivered Gu Zuo to the flight of stairs heading to the fourth floor, and personally handed him over to a beautiful, young girl: “Xixi, receive him properly.” He covertly raised a finger in front of him, and silently mouthed, “This sir has already spent this amount of money.”

How keen was Gu Zuo’s psychic power? How couldn’t he be aware of Bing Jin’s small movents? However, he didn’t care. When he thought back to when he worked as an apprentice in the modern era, such actions also couldn’t be avoided.

In addition, he truly didn’t lack money.

Today, when he purchased dicinal ingredients, he conscientiously experienced the feeling of “not lacking money”.

Because a long ti had passed with basically nowhere to spend money, the golden banknotes in his personal stash exceeded an enormous two million. What’s more, before his departure, Tianheng had given him hundreds of thousands in golden banknotes as “pocket money”.

With so approximate calculations, the sum was nearly three million gold!

Only to use it to buy dicinal ingredients... Gu Zuo actually wanted to spend this money until there was nothing left!

As far as pharmacists were concerned, having dicinal ingredients ant having money and being able to protect one’s life... Money was far less important than dicinal ingredients.

On the fourth floor, the dicinal ingredients had beco even more precious and rare, and their harvesting periods were even longer.

Their dicinal maturities were at least three thousand years or higher.

And for dicinal herbs with such ages, their dicinal properties were extrely astonishing!

Gu Zuo moved around those cabinets.

Yes, the dicinal ingredients on this floor weren’t mundanely placed in square fras. Rather, they were contained in small boxes where all kinds of materials were ticulously employed. Every box was then individually arranged inside each dicine cabinet.

The dicine cabinets were similarly transparent and had large volus. This allowed all pharmacists coming to pick dicinal ingredients to examine each part from all sides and angles.

Such a considerate design and such an intense emphasis could only prove one issue.

That the dicinal ingredients here were all very expensive.

The dicinal pills that used them in refining were all pills mostly taken by Atomic Realm or even higher ranked martial artists.

Thus, on the fourth floor, a stalk of the cheapest dicinal herb with the lowest price was —

Ten thousand gold.

Gu Zuo looked on with stars in his eyes, and his heart didn’t have the least bit of pressure.

City Lord’s Mansion, in the dwelling for Qingyun Sect.

Xu Lingxiu sat cross-legged in front of a pill cauldron. Across from him was the high-level pharmacist Li Yunquan.

At this mont, Li Yunquan’s brows slightly furrowed. He said in a low voice: “The previous search resulted in nothing. Could it be that we’ve let Pill Heart Sect escape the bla?”

Xu Lingxiu sneered: “What are the rankings for Pill Heart Sect this ti?”

Li Yunquan’s heart trembled. After carefully thinking it over, he said: “Apparently... In the mid-level pharmacist field, they’ve fallen out of the top ten?” He suddenly rembered this matter, “Don’t tell —”

Xu Lingxiu said: “City Lord Xin really isn’t an idiot. When we explained things to him, his mind naturally had its suspicions, and nothing else needed to be said. During the pill battles, all it took was the rearrangent of Pill Heart Sect’s seating order for them to suffer enough!”
