7: Chapter 5 Spiritual Items Workshop_2 7: Chapter 5 Spiritual Items Workshop_2 Leaving the council hall, Ye Xuan had no intention of returning; instead, he seized the opportunity to go down to the market to take a look.
…
As one of the six nations of the Tiannan Region, the Great Xia Kingdom governed twenty-one counties, each with a population of at least a million.
In a dium-sized county like Tianyang County, the population totaled over two million.
Nearly half of these people were congregated in Tianyang County City.
Despite the scorching sun, the city of Tianyang was bustling with vitality.
The streets were swarming with people, and one could even occasionally spot so martial artists in their peculiar attires.
After wandering around the market with no particular finds, Ye Xuan decided not to stroll any further and headed straight to his destination.
Before long, a grand building appeared before his eyes, with the words “Spiritual Items Workshop” prominently displayed above its entrance.
The Spiritual Items Workshop was a well-known power in the Great Xia Kingdom, not only locally but also in the wider Tiannan Region, making it a major business tycoon.
As such, its buildings stood grandiosely wherever they were, becoming landmarks of their cities.
The foyer of the Spiritual Items Workshop was very imposing, decorated in a lavish style.
Inside the foyer, there were glass cabinets filled with sowhat rare spirit grass, pills, and artifacts, all bursting with spiritual energy and dazzling the eyes.
Having explored the foyer and not found any trace of ridian Clearing Grass, Ye Xuan ended up buying so common cultivation resources worth tens of thousands of taels before approaching the counter.
“Shopkeeper, do you happen to have any ridian Clearing Grass available?” Ye Xuan furrowed his brows, thinking that if even the Spiritual Items Workshop didn’t have it, then it was unlikely to be found elsewhere in Tianyang County.
“We did have one ridian Clearing Grass a month ago, but it was sold a few days ago.
You’ll have to wait for the next batch; it could take so ti as ridian Clearing Grass is not a common spiritual dicine and is only found in a few places like the Panlong Mountain Range in the entire Tiannan Region,” explained an elderly shopkeeper dressed in a brown robe, sounding sowhat apologetic.
“Panlong Mountain Range…”
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
The na was thunderous indeed; known as a gathering area for all sorts of Demon Beasts, it was certainly a perilous place…
“Then please go ahead and tally up these items for .
I wonder if your shop might consider trade by other ans?
An exchange of equivalent value, perhaps involving a dicine formula?”
“A dicine formula?”
Startled at first, the shopkeeper’s heart then tightened.
Precious formulas were generally proprietary and closely held secrets.
It ca as a surprise that the young man before him had a formula in hand.
“What level of formula is it?”
“Mortal Grade, but derived from ancient tis and requires a connoisseur to understand,” Ye Xuan said with a mysterious air.
“Well, in that case, please step into the inner hall.”
The shopkeeper had no doubt about Ye Xuan’s sincerity; after all, the longevity of the Spiritual Items Workshop in the Tiannan Region was backed not only by its strong foundation but also its indisputable influence.
Even the royals and nobles of the Great Xia Kingdom wouldn’t dare to offend them, let alone make a mockery of them.
“Young man, this is Master Yan from our Spiritual Items Workshop; you may now present your formula.”
The shopkeeper led Ye Xuan into a quiet room, where a grey-robed elder, evidently a senior mber of the Spiritual Items Workshop proficient in dicine, was also present.
“The formula is in my mind; please bring so paper and ink,” Ye Xuan said with a smile.
“Alright.”
Upon hearing this, both the owner of the Spiritual Items Workshop and the grey-robed elder were slightly surprised.
The prescription was clear in his mind, and his actions were thodical—this truly showed the deanor of a master.
They hadn’t expected Ye Xuan, so young, to also be a doctor well-versed in dicine.
After a short while, pen and paper were brought forth.
With a re reflection in his mind, Ye Xuan wrote down a prescription, nad “Qi Boosting Powder.” To the Ye Xuan of his past life, it was just a basic prescription, but in the modest Tiannan Region, it was indeed considered an Ancient dicine Formula.
In his forr life, Ye Xuan was a Martial God of the Heavenly Realm, a towering figure.
Apart from cultivating, he also had so knowledge in alchemy and artifact refining.
While he might have been amateurish in the Heavenly Realm, in this modest Tiannan Region, he was unmatched.
“Marvelous, there is such a wonderful prescription in the world.”
The prescription reached the hands of the Spiritual Items Workshop owner and Master Yan, who studied it briefly.
Both their eyes lit up, “This Qi Boosting Powder actually has the effect of increasing the True Qi inside a martial artist’s body, truly miraculous.
However, while the prescription itself is fantastic and profound, I always feel like there might be sothing missing.
Might it just be my misconception?”
“Yes, indeed, there is one main ingredient missing.
If our transaction is successful, I will complete the prescription.”
Naturally, Ye Xuan wouldn’t write down all the dicinal ingredients and thods in one go to prevent the other party from morizing it, although they would likely not engage in such behavior.
Yet, it was still best to be cautious.
“Ah, that explains it,”
Master Yan and the Spiritual Items Workshop owner nodded understandingly, but they could not hide the excitent on their faces.
The prescription was most likely genuine, and even with their abilities, they found it difficult to fully comprehend the formula montarily.
“Young brother, may I inquire where this prescription ca from?
Considering your young age, how do you possess such an ancient formula?”
“Ah, it was taught by my master and was not initially ant for dissemination.
My action this ti is purely out of necessity.”
Ye Xuan sighed, looking quite regretful.
Would he ever admit that he didn’t value the prescription much, having many even more advanced ones?
Of course not, as that would imdiately bring disaster upon himself.
Fabricating a master was an easy way to bluff through.
“Oh?
Your master must truly be a high-esteed individual…
With that said, young brother’s alchemy skills must not be lacking either.” Misled by Ye Xuan, Master Yan and the other man beca more interested in Ye Xuan, soone who could present such a formula definitely belonged to the elite in the Spirit dicine World.
“Hehe, a bit of knowledge, a bit of knowledge.
I wonder if we might proceed with the transaction now?”
Ye Xuan smiled brilliantly, yet internally he cursed the two old n for being long-winded.
If it weren’t for the fact that he would require further dealings with the Spiritual Items Workshop in the future, he would have already lost his patience.
“Of course, we can.
For this prescription, our preliminary price is set at two hundred thousand taels.
If the sales are good later on, we can still adjust and increase the amount.” The Spiritual Items Workshop owner hesitated for a mont before speaking.
Since they had only received the initial prescription and didn’t know the actual effects of the Spiritual dicine, it still needed verification.
“No problem.”
Ye Xuan’s eyes brightened.
He had no idea of the prescription’s worth and didn’t expect a single Qi Boosting Powder formula to be worth two hundred thousand taels.
Being so popular in this mundane world, acquiring so ordinary cultivation resources would be quite ample.
“Shopkeeper, Nangong family’s Housekeeper Zhao has arrived.”
Just as the owner of the Spiritual Items Workshop and Master Yan were about to have a more thorough discussion with Ye Xuan, the sudden voice of a servant ca from outside.
“Housekeeper Zhao?
It must be about Lady Nangong’s illness.
Let him in.” Master Yan summoned with a slightly displeased wave of his hand.
“Yes.” The servant withdrew.
“Lady Nangong?”
Upon hearing this na, an image of a short, plump young girl naturally appeared in Ye Xuan’s mind, and the deep-seated mories associated with that image were also rekindled.
