Chapter 918: Chapter 915: One dicine House (Seeking Monthly Votes) Chapter 918: Chapter 915: One dicine House (Seeking Monthly Votes) “This Liubo Island may not be very large, but it has an abundance of cultivation materials. Before we set off, you can look around. Oh, and don’t forget to buy a detailed sea chart before we leave,” Yuan Qiu seed to sense Shen Luo’s unspoken difficulties and didn’t dwell further on the issue, instead changing the subject.
“A sea chart?” Shen Luo’s brows twitched slightly.
“Although there are quite a few islands in this sea area, they are insignificant compared to the vast, boundless Eastern Sea. The ocean is imnse and getting lost can be extrely dangerous, so a sea chart is absolutely essential,” Yuan Qiu explained.
Shen Luo nodded and agreed, then quickened his pace, moving among the various shops, looking for the items he needed.
The materials available here in Liubo City were indeed rich, and not much different from those in Chang’an City’s market, especially the water-attribute spiritual materials.
Too bad his cultivation level was already so high that these spiritual materials were of no use to him.
A mont later, Shen Luo stopped in front of an elixir shop, glanced inside, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
His vision now was incredible, and even from outside, he could easily take in the details within the store. To his shock, the shop was selling pills for advancing the cultivation of those in the Soul Condensation stage!
It was well known that in both Jianye City and Chang’an City, pills for advancing one’s cultivation were extrely precious. Yet here, this small shop with a storefront just two zhang wide, was selling such elixirs!
After his gaze flickered, he stepped inside.
“Does the elder wish to purchase elixirs?” The shop’s old man, with sparsely haired, rushed up to greet him warmly after sensing Shen Luo’s cultivation level.
“Do you have any pills to advance one’s cultivation in the Nascent Soul Stage?” Shen Luo asked directly.
He still had so of the Dual-elent True Water left from before, but since he had already advanced to the Late Nascent Soul Stage, those were now useless, and he needed to find a new thod to quickly advance his cultivation.
“You just advanced to the Late Nascent Soul Stage, didn’t you? And you’re already looking for pills to help you advance further? Advancing in cultivation too quickly without your comprehension keeping pace can lead to quite so trouble,” Yuan Qiu cautioned.
Shen Luo slightly smiled to himself and didn’t respond to Yuan Qiu.
He had recorded countless cultivation experiences in the Dreamland, so he didn’t need to worry about such things.
“Hmph! No appreciation for goodwill. As long as you think it through, that’s fine. But you did pick the right place to buy elixirs. The Eastern Sea has more elixirs and spiritual materials than Chang’an City. You just won’t find the good stuff in a small store like this. If you want to buy quality elixirs, continue forward,” Yuan Qiu snorted and then said.
“Nascent Soul Stage elixirs! Those are too precious, our shop does not carry them. However, our shop does have a treasured item, a Detoxification Holy Pill specially good for neutralizing all sorts of demon poison. Would the elder like to take a look?” Sure enough, hearing Shen Luo’s inquiry, the old shopkeeper imdiately shook his head and then began to promote his rchandise.
Of course, Shen Luo had no interest in what so-called treasures the shop had. He quickly took his leave from the shop and continued along the street, arriving at a square at the city center monts later.
The ground here was paved with large blocks of white jade, shining brightly. A massive, misty blue protective cover lood over the square, clearly distinct from the other areas.
But what caught the eye most was the four tall, luxurious shops situated in the center of the square, all built from jade. The one directly facing Shen Luo was lush green and even emitted a faint luminescence.
A huge plaque hung above the erald green building, inscribed with three large characters – “Qingyu Pavilion”. Next to the plaque, there was also a flag embroidered with a blue Ganoderma.
Shen Luo had seen many markets and was quite experienced in this regard; this Qingyu Pavilion was most likely in the business of selling Spirit Grass.
The other three buildings were also monochromatic, in white, blue, and red, and were nad White Cloud Residence, One dicine House, and Tianhuo Tower, respectively.
His Divine Sense swept over, and he found that the Jin Yun Residence sold Monster materials and minerals, One dicine House offered Elixirs, and Tianhuo Tower was involved in Artifacts Refining business.
“The place you just ntioned, where one can buy good Elixirs, is it this One dicine House?” Shen Luo asked.
“Exactly, the Elixirs refined by One dicine House are even better than those of Treasure Hall, a famous Alchemy house in Great Tang,” Yuan Zhen said with a chuckle.
“I hope so. Speaking of Treasure Hall, it’s a bit strange; with so many cultivating immortals here and such prosperity, why haven’t any of the Three Great Business Associations of Datang – Treasure Hall, Xuanyuan Pavilion, and Bowu Line – set up shop here?” Shen Luo’s eyes lit up at first, then he asked with confusion.
“You think they don’t want to? The Qingyu Pavilion, White Cloud Residence, One dicine House, and Tianhuo Tower we saw earlier are the Four Great rchant Alliances of the East Sea Mariti Route, with their base in Luo Star Archipelago. Their strength is not inferior to the Three Great Business Associations of Datang. The Three Great Business Associations once tried to extend their influence into this mariti route, and the Four Great rchant Alliances also wanted to do business in the Mainland of the Tang Dynasty’s cultivating world. After many years of contention, an agreent was eventually reached that drew a line at sea; the Four Great rchant Alliances would absolutely not set foot ashore, nor could the Three Great Business Associations open shops on any island in the Eastern Sea,” Yuan Zhen elaborated.
Shen Luo hadn’t expected that the four shops in front of him had such significant backgrounds and had even clashed with the Three Great Business Associations. However, he wasn’t interested in these matters and walked straight into One dicine House.
Inside One dicine House, counters were lined up, displaying various kinds of Elixirs, and a refreshing dicinal fragrance filled the air, invigorating the spirit of anyone who entered.
Many custors were walking around the shop, in search of the Elixirs they needed.
A blue-robed attendant saw Shen Luo co in and was about to step forward to greet him, but was held back by a middle-aged man who looked like a manager.
“Elder, may I ask what kind of Elixir you are looking for? With your cultivation level, these common Elixirs out here must hardly catch your eye. Why not follow this junior to the back hall? Our shop’s truly high-grade Elixirs are all there,” said the middle-aged manager, who had reached the Soul Condensation Later Stage and recognized at a glance that Shen Luo was a Nascent Soul Cultivator. He approached enthusiastically.
“Lead the way,” Shen Luo said indifferently, as the Elixirs outside indeed did not catch his interest.
Seeing Shen Luo’s cool reaction, the middle-aged manager’s smile did not diminish, and he led Shen Luo to a side hall in the back.
The side hall was not large and had seven or eight big chairs with four or five cultivators with distinguished manners seated on them. In the middle sat a green-clothed young woman, by her attire, she appeared affiliated with One dicine House.
All these people had reached the Nascent Soul Stage, especially the green-clothed young woman, who had attained the peak of the Late Nascent Soul Stage, a notch higher than Shen Luo.
The middle-aged manager did not enter the hall; after giving a bow to the green-clothed young woman outside, he turned and left.
“Please take a seat, Daoist friend. My na is Green Pearl, and I am the owner of this One dicine House. What assistance do you require?” The green-clothed young woman smiled gracefully at Shen Luo, her voice both soft and sweet, that it swayed one’s heart, seeming to have cultivated so kind of Charm Technique.
“I’ve heard that One dicine House is one of the Four Great rchant Alliances of the Eastern Sea, specialized in the art of Elixir Refinent. I, Shen Luo, have co with great expectations to purchase so Nascent Soul period cultivating advancent pills, the more precious the better.” Shen Luo, whose Xuan Yin Mystifying Pupil was fully developed, was unaffected by any Charm or Illusion Techniques and took a seat with a calm expression.
