Yue Jinghua was headed towards the bustling market.
After turning a few streets, she reached the busy marketplace where a woman in white with a masked face approached and blocked her path, asking where the biggest dicinal shop in the city was located.
In Polo City, there were many Dark Practitioners, among whom so wore masks and moved about mysteriously.
After glancing at her flat figure, the house guards of Lie Family Mansion impatiently replied, "Who is this rustic bumpkin? In Polo City, only the Lie Family Mansion has a dicinal shop, just turn left up ahead."
After thanking the woman, she headed towards the Lie Family Mansion's dicinal shop.
The slight delay caused by this interaction made the house guards completely lose track of Yue Jinghua's whereabouts and they had no option but to return to Lie Family Mansion to report.
After the house guards had left and the shadowy figure had disappeared, the white-clad woman who had previously asked for directions, walked into the "Yongchun Hall" of Lie Family Mansion's dicinal shop.
"Shopkeeper, do you have any Spirit dicine here that can increase Dark Power in a short ti?" The woman in white was in fact Yue Jinghua wearing a mask, but through so ans, she had transford her curvaceous figure into a flat and broad one, resembling a man.
The Lie Yiwei could never have imagined that Yue Jinghua, after changing her face and disguise, would so boldly co forward to ask for directions.
The shopkeeper at "Yongchun Hall" sized up Yue Jinghua a few tis, seeing her oddly-dressed in a strange costu that seed neither like armor nor a robe, and it was unclear what her background was: "Custor, such Spirit dicine is hard to find. Only a Middle-level Pill Master or higher can refine it and the price is quite dear. In our shop, however, we have a few Body Strengthening Elixir Pills like this Body Refining Pill, personally refined by our young mistress. Taking it can enhance the strength of bones and ridians. Such a Spirit Pill costs only five hundred Gold Coins."
Having finished speaking, he took out a porcelain bottle and poured out one Elixir Pill.
"Five hundred Gold Coins, that's too expensive. Do you have cheaper dicinal herbs for sale?" Yue Jinghua shook her head, then inquired about the prices of three common dicinal herbs.
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper's face fell. He was disappointed as Elixir Pills and dicinal herbs were different; although only processed through the step of alchemy, their value increased a hundredfold.
"For dicine, one must first consult a doctor in the hall to take a pulse and prescribe a recipe, and dicine can be bought with a prescription. If it is a major injury or ailnt, it needs to be reported to the governnt before treatnt can proceed," Yongchun Hall dominated the city, and it has always been quite domineering in dealing with common folks and Dark Practitioners in terms of dicine.
Yue Jinghua thanked them and walked out of Yongchun Hall.
With this inquiry, Yue Jinghua already understood the value of the alchemy recipe recorded in the Mo Xi Treasure Book, which was indeed invaluable.
For instance, the True Dark Pill she refined last night; these pills, capable of quickly enhancing Cultivation, are a type of Dark Pill.
Yue Jinghua was just testing the waters, as it was her first attempt at refining, resulting in ten pills.
Yue Jinghua consud one pill, and with her Small Success of Jade Dark Cultivation, she broke through to Yu Xuan Great Success in just half an hour.
The advantage of True Dark Pill is that it had absolutely no side effects; the entire process was painless and itchless. However, the drawback was that when Yue Jinghua took the second pill, its effect was minimal, almost to the point of being non-existent.
Moreover, Yue Jinghua's Alchemy Technique was quite basic. The ten True Dark Pills she refined last night took five batches and used up all the supply of three types of dicinal herbs left in the alchemy room.}
Yue Jinghua wasn't sure if this type of pill would be effective for every Dark Practitioner, but at least she was certain that True Dark Pills worked for practitioners below Jade Xuan without any side effects.
In a small kingdom like Shang Kingdom, there are not a few practitioners below Jade Xuan.
Although Elixir Pills are excellent, Yue Jinghua had to face an issue akin to "even an emperor's daughter has her worries about marriage". How could she sell these pills?
Just as the house guards of Lie Family Mansion ntioned, within Polo City, there only lies the dicinal shop of Lie Family Mansion, selling the Elixir Pills to Lie Family Mansion was evidently not feasible.
As a Top Female Spy, Yue Jinghua quickly ca up with an idea.
In every city, no matter its size, there are always certain places and people that remain unknown to others.
Such as those who help dispose of dirty items, those who help gather unsavory information, and those who discreetly take care of certain individuals.
These places and people range from as large as a gambling house to as small as a beggar.
In Poluo City, naturally, such places exist too. Qianbin Building is one such unique location.
What makes it special is that, although Qianbin Building is a teahouse, it exclusively sells alcohol.
Its owner, indeed a man, prefers to dress in pink clothes that are conspicuous within a three-mile radius.
Yue Jinghua had just settled down before she called over a waiter, opening her conversation with: "Bring the most expensive wine in your establishnt, rember, the most expensive."
It wasn't long before a dazzling "human peach blossom" floated over: "May I assist this guest in any way? I am Xie Yu, the owner of Qianbin Building."
"I am looking for a place to sell a kind of Elixir Pills," Yue Jinghua stated her purpose straightforwardly.
"Is the guest a Pill Master?" Xie Yu smiled, his peach blossom eyes brimming with allure, "If a Pill Master is selling Elixir Pills, you've co to the wrong place, you should go to Yongchun Hall," Xie Yu flirted, sending Yue Jinghua a fatally charming wink.
"Yongchun Hall sells common dicine, but my pills are Spirit Pills, pearls should not be mixed with fish eyes," Yue Jinghua picked up a bowl of wine and drank it in one gulp.
An entire bowl of "Lie Chun," drank without missing a beat or breaking a sweat.
Xie Yu couldn't help but size up Yue Jinghua a few tis.
No Dark Energy exuded from her body, yet her mask was fierce.
After noticing the White Armor on Yue Jinghua, Xie Yu's straight nose twitched; he stood up and poured Yue Jinghua a cup of wine.
Though it seed an inconsequential gesture, it attracted the side glances of all the assistants and Dancing Girls within Qianbin Building.
Boss Xie is not soone who lightly serves wine to others; even Xiao Yi King rarely gets such treatnt from him.
A flash of cunning light crossed Xie Yu's eyes. He had confird the armor on Yue Jinghua.
Sixth-level Fierce Snow Rhinoceros, a leather armor made from an entire Fierce Snow Rhinoceros skin, this person is indeed extraordinary.
"Xie Yu does know of such a place that specializes in selling Spirit Pills, but they wouldn't want just any Elixir Pills?" The underlying aning was to assess whether Yue Jinghua's Spirit Pills were qualified to enter that unique place.
"True Dark Pill, allows Dark Practitioners below Dark Jade rank to directly increase by one rank, completely without side effects, causing no interference with future cultivation," Yue Jinghua downed another cup of wine, her eyes shining brightly.
Xie Yu, taken aback, blurted out, "Are you from the Danlu or from the Divine Court?"
Such pills, although only useful for Dark Practitioners below Dark Jade rank, their effects are also significant enough to shake the entire Eastern Continent.
You should know that the Dark Jade and Dark Human stages, although the most basic levels of Dark Skill, are still foundational. For major families, enabling talented young mbers to break through Dark Jade early also ans greatly increasing their chances of advancing to Dark Heavenly or even becoming Dark Pill experts.
A pharmacy like Huai Chun Hall could never concoct such heaven-defying Elixir Pills. Only hidden and powerful organizations like the Divine Court and Danlu could create such pills.
"My identity has little to do with my pills. Tell how to sell these pills; I will pay ten percent of the transaction amount or a Spirit Pill as compensation."
"I choose a Spirit Pill. To sell such pills can only be done in..." Xie Yu dipped his finger in so wine and wrote down the character 'dimple' on the table.
