As far as he knew, the Hundred Refining Sect had a dedicated Alchemy Pavilion, and its level was certainly higher than that of the Yun Family. Even the Celestial Travel Sect probably couldn’t compare.
"You barbarian, you don’t even know how many months your own wife is pregnant? The dosage of prenatal dicine is critical, and using too little or too much could be harmful."
Seeing that Shen Wang hadn’t responded, the old man couldn’t help but laugh and curse when he realized that Shen Wang hadn’t figured this out before coming to buy dicine.
"Uh, I was just watching that group of people pass by."
Shen Wang could only awkwardly change the topic.
He curiously asked, "I noticed these people seem to have high status, right?"
"Of course, the welcoming chief steward of the Yun Family personally leads them, so their status wouldn’t be low."
The old man casually remarked, "If you aren’t clear about your wife’s condition, it’s best to go back and ask, or bring her here personally."
Shen Wang shook his head, "No need, my wife is an Innate Grandmaster, and the child is probably about nine months along. She is a branch mber of the Yun Family."
"So it’s a son-in-law of the family, co in and sit down."
Upon learning it was soone from the family, the stooped old man’s attitude improved, and he stood up to invite Shen Wang into the shop and sit down.
He laughed, "Actually, I’m also a son-in-law of the Yun Family. The shopkeeper here is my wife, and this child is my grandson."
"Ah, a family-run shop."
Shen Wang chuckled, "I heard from my wife that there’s an elder who works as a midwife here, so I ca to buy so protective pregnancy dicine."
"Then you’ve co to the right place!"
The old man grew even happier, "Your wife belongs to the sa branch as mine. You’re from Xi Province, aren’t you?"
"Yes, my wife’s belly has been hurting recently. She said she needs the Yun Family’s special prenatal dicine, and I heard sothing about Wind-Thunder Fruit. I don’t understand any of it, so I thought I’d co here and see."
Shen Wang said with a smile.
"The Yun Family indeed has special prenatal dicine, but forget about the Wind-Thunder Fruit; it’s too expensive and only the direct lineage of the Yun Family can afford it."
The old man shook his head, "What kind of pain is she experiencing? If it’s just the usual pain from a baby kicking in the womb, it’s nothing serious."
"She is quite weak. It seems the baby has been absorbing power more intensely lately, and she’s struggling a bit."
Shen Wang didn’t ntion the Thunder Spirit Blood, only describing the symptoms.
If the Thunder Spirit Blood were to awaken in the womb, it would likely alarm the Yun Family’s higher-ups, and if Profound Thunder Zhenren found out, it wouldn’t be beneficial to them.
The old man pondered for a mont and said, "A child actively absorbing power suggests they have a very good talent. It’s crucial to ensure energy abundance at this stage; otherwise, missing this developntal opportunity would prevent full talent formation."
Shen Wang knew he was asking the right person and sincerely said, "Please guide , sir. What dicines should I buy to ensure safety for both my child and wife?"
"Old man like can’t guarantee anything. Giving birth carries risks, and high cultivation doesn’t help because the child is in the womb, leaving the mother defenseless. Using dicine can only reduce risks as much as possible."
The old man shook his head repeatedly, "Based on your situation, I can mix so dicines for you. Alas, the best option is, of course, the Yun Family’s Wind and Thunder Blood Fusion Pill. At worst, you should get a Wind-Thunder Fruit to supplent the mother’s and baby’s energy and nutrition."
He sighed as he said this, "Unfortunately, such things are beyond the reach of an Innate Grandmaster. Take so good dicines back first, accompany your wife more, and as long as the child arrives safely, you need not ask for more."
"Are there any alternatives?"
Shen Wang knew these two items wouldn’t be easy to obtain as soon as he heard this.
"Perhaps there are, but no one has tried. Yun Family’s pregnant won have been using these secret dicines and fruits for years, and you won’t find the ingredients elsewhere."
The old man shook his head and instructed the child, "Xiao Tian, prepare the dicine."
"Yes, Grandpa."
The child’s voice was crisp.
"Based on your wife’s cultivation and condition, I can prepare the Yun Family’s unique Pregnancy dicine for you,"
The old man said, "The dicines have the sa types but are divided into upper, middle, and lower classes based on the age of the ingredients. The upper-class costs a hundred Spirit Stones per dose, the middle-class thirty, the lower-class ten, and each dose can be boiled for three days, mainly used to stabilize and preserve the fetus."
"Compared to the Wind-Thunder Fruit and the Wind and Thunder Blood Fusion Pill, how effective is it?"
Shen Wang asked.
"Haha, don’t underestimate our small shop; when it cos to prenatal dicine, we are certainly among the best on this street. The dicine I’m preparing for you is only second to consuming the Wind-Thunder Fruit, and the Wind and Thunder Blood Fusion Pill is beyond comparison. It’s an upper-class Magic Pill, and even Golden Core Zhenren must pay a high price to acquire it."
The old man assud Shen Wang was disparaging the quality of their shop’s dicine and was sowhat displeased.
"Is there sothing more advanced?"
Shen Wang changed his tone, disguising himself as an Innate Grandmaster, but it didn’t an he had to buy dicine with the financial ans of one.
The old man glanced more closely at Shen Wang, "My wife delivers babies for the Yun Family’s direct lineage, so she can access more exclusive prenatal dicines, a simplified form of the Wind and Thunder Blood Fusion Pill. If you’re willing to pay a higher price, I can ask her to inquire for you."
"Yes."
Shen Wang said just one word.
"Xiao Tian, serve tea for our honored guest."
The old man laughed, "Honored guest, please co to the backyard and sit for a while. My wife will be here shortly."
His attitude changed sowhat.
Shen Wang knew that his deanor did not resemble that of an ordinary Innate Grandmaster. This old man, who had seen many people, likely guessed that Shen Wang was hiding his true strength.
He wasn’t worried about anything; the cultivation world was harsh, and many cultivators hid their true strength when traveling, which wasn’t uncommon.
Sitting down in the backyard, Shen Wang casually said, "Is the Wind and Thunder Blood Fusion Pill refined using the Wind-Thunder Fruit as the main ingredient?"
"You’re wise, honored guest, that’s indeed the case."
The old man took the tea from the child and placed it before Shen Wang, "The Wind-Thunder Fruit is a specialty of our Wind and Thunder Mountain Range. It’s nurtured by a Spirit Wood enduring the baptism of wind and thunder, containing abundant spiritual power and a mild form of Wind and Thunder Power, which best supplents the Yun Family’s bloodline."
"Oh, so the Wind-Thunder Fruit is an indispensable treasure for the Yun Family?"
Shen Wang thought deeply.
"It’s about right; the Yun Family’s direct lineage cultivates powerful Wind and Thunder Divine Techniques with the aid of this fruit. It’s very important, and special personnel cultivate Wind-Thunder Fruit Trees every year. It takes three years for a batch to mature, with the lowest quality being a Treasure Fruit, making it priceless in the mortal world."
"The fruit and pill aren’t sold?" Shen Wang wondered if he could buy so to take back for Paper Kite.
"The Yun Family can’t even et their own needs, so they basically don’t sell them unless you have so connections."
The old man shook his head, "Honored guest, don’t think about buying the Wind-Thunder Fruit. Getting so dicines made from the Wind-Thunder Fruit is already good enough, and it should suffice for your wife’s use."
Shen Wang nodded and continued chatting idly with the old man, learning a lot in secret.
About half an hour later, an old woman returned and called out from a distance, "I heard there’s an honored guest. Which family’s son-in-law might it be?"
