Chapter 921: Chapter 918 Refusal of Invitation Chapter 921: Chapter 918 Refusal of Invitation Shen Luo did not know the thoughts of the green-clothed young woman, his fingers lightly tapping on the armrest as he sank into contemplation.
The woman spoke with seemingly unwavering conviction, but she looked cunning and calculating. Who could tell how much of her words were the truth and how much were falsehoods?
“What this woman says should reflect the reality. One dicine House monopolizes the Elixir business along the Eastern Sea mariti route and their reputation is not bad. It’s unlikely that they would damage their own reputation for such a trifling profit, jacking up prices without care. Besides, as far as I know, the Tear Demon really is rare and hard to hunt,” Yuan Zhen’s voice resonated in Shen Luo’s mind.
“Alright, how many bottles of the Snow Soul Pill do you have now? I’ll take them all,” Shen Luo said after a mont of silence, hearing this.
“At present, our house has eight bottles of Snow Soul Pill. I will fetch them now; please wait a mont, Daoist friend,” the green-clothed young woman said with relief at Shen Luo’s acquiescence, and hurriedly stood up to personally retrieve the Elixirs.
With the young woman gone, Shen Luo’s expression grew grim; a re eight bottles of Elixir were far from enough.
Fortunately, he was headed for the Luo Star Archipelago. The nurous islands and city walls he would pass by should all have a branch of One dicine House. He should be able to gather the needed Elixirs by searching them one by one.
With this thought, his mood also eased. Looking at the Snow Soul Pill in his hand, he suddenly thought of sothing.
“Daoist Yuan, the Elixirs from One dicine House are quite different from those in the Mainland of the Tang Dynasty. The main ingredients in the Elixirs of the Great Tang are various Spirit Grasses and Spiritual Materials, but the Elixirs here all use Demon Pellet materials,” Shen Luo asked Yuan Zhen through a ssage.
“Indeed, the Eastern Sea mariti route lacks Spirit Grass, hence the use of locally sourced materials, treating Monster materials as Spirit Grasses and Spiritual Materials. Moreover, the Demon Pellets contain even more abundant Spiritual Power. In terms of dicinal strength, the Elixirs here are indeed superior,” Yuan Zhen explained.
“I see, the Alchemy Masters on this mariti route are truly remarkable for thinking up such a thod of Alchemy,” Shen Luo admired.
“No, this thod of Alchemy was not invented by Alchemists on the mariti route but was passed down from the Eastern Victorious Divine Continent,” Yuan Zhen replied.
“Oh, the Eastern Victorious Divine Continent?” Shen Luo was montarily surprised at the ntion.
“The Eastern Victorious Divine Continent is vast with few of the Human Race, but teeming with Demonic Beasts and Spirit Beasts, hence the thod of Alchemy. It is said that the thods for cultivating immortality there are greatly different from those in the Southern Sub-Central Continent. I have always wished to experience it myself but unfortunately have never had the chance. Now that we are going to the Luo Star Archipelago, I hope to witness it,” Yuan Zhen said with a trace of excitent.
Hearing this, Shen Luo too began to harbor so yearning for the Eastern Victorious Divine Continent.
The two chatted casually about matters related to the Eastern Sea mariti route when footsteps approached from outside. The green-clothed young woman had returned with the Elixirs.
Shen Luo inspected the eight bottles of Snow Soul Pill. Seeing no issue, he imdiately paid with Immortal Jade, rose to his feet without a word, and left.
The green-clothed young woman had sothing else to say to Shen Luo, but seeing his grim expression as he stood and left, she dared not detain him and swallowed her words.
After leaving One dicine House, Shen Luo did not imdiately depart the area.
Given his rewarding experience at One dicine House, he stopped underestimating Liubo City. He imdiately turned towards the White Cloud Residence, Qingyu Pavilion, and Tianhuo Tower, visiting all three shops swiftly.
Unfortunately, it seed his luck had run out at One dicine House; he found nothing of use at the other three.
Feeling disappointed, Shen Luo was about to leave the square and head towards the City Gate to wait for Bai Xiaotian when a voice suddenly called out from behind him.
“Brother Shen, would you please hold up a mont!”
Shen Luo halted, turned around, and his gaze instantly sharpened.
The caller was none other than the yellow-faced man he had encountered once before at One dicine House, approaching with a broad, beaming smile.
“So it was Daoist Friend Zhen who stopped , what is the matter?” Shen Luo nodded slightly, as he had already learned the man’s surna back at the One dicine House.
“Hehe, Brother Shen cos from the mainland of the Great Tang, and this ti you’ve co down the East Sea Mariti Route. May I ask what your plans are? I’ve been on this sea route for several years and am quite familiar with this area. If there is anything you need, I would be glad to help,” said the yellow-faced man with a smile, cupping his hands.
“I rely co from the inland and have heard that the East Sea Mariti Route is bustling. I am just here for a visit, nothing more. If Daoist Friend Zhen has stopped , it must be for more than small talk. Please speak your mind,” Shen Luo said indifferently.
“I see, Brother Shen is a straightforward person, so I won’t beat around the bush either. I, admittedly lacking in many ways, have ford a hunting group with a few fellow freelance cultivators to go out to sea and hunt monsters. Since you have no urgent matters, Brother Shen, I wonder if you would be interested in joining us to hunt monsters at sea?” the yellow-faced man invited enthusiastically.
“Hunting monsters at sea? I have just arrived in Liubo City and have no such intentions,” Shen Luo raised an eyebrow and declined.
“Is Brother Shen worried about safety? The fellow cultivators in our hunting group are all upstanding individuals, and two of them are even monks from orthodox sects. We have worked together many tis without any problems. Moreover, hunting monsters at sea can earn Immortal Jade very quickly. With Brother Shen’s considerable strength, if you join the hunting group, you could amass a large sum of Immortal Jade in just a few years, preparing you for breaking through to the Great Mahayana Stage,” the yellow-faced man hastily persuaded again.
“It’s not what you think, I simply have no plans for hunting at sea,” Shen Luo declined again with an even tone.
“Since Brother Shen has other plans, I will not bother you further. Let us et again in the future,” seeing Shen Luo’s resolute deanor, the yellow-faced man didn’t persist in persuading him and left with a wry smile after cupping his hands.
Shen Luo didn’t mind it and continued to walk outside the city. Soon, he returned to the place where he and Bai Xiaotian had parted ways earlier.
Bai Xiaotian had returned and was standing there waiting, calm in deanor but his eyes occasionally flashing with irrepressible joy, as if he had made quite the fortune in Liubo City.
“Brother Shen, you’re back. Have you found anything?” Bai Xiaotian approached and asked upon seeing Shen Luo returning.
“I bought a few bottles of elixirs that could be useful. How about you, Brother Bai?” Shen Luo asked.
“I’ve been fortunate. In a general store in Liubo City, I found a damaged poison scripture. It appears to have been left by a powerful figure from ancient tis and is of great benefit to ,” Bai Xiaotian was not secretive with Shen Luo and spoke while trying to suppress the excitent in his heart.
“Is that so? That’s wonderful.” Shen Luo had co to know over the past days that aside from advancing his cultivation at Hua Sheng Temple, Bai Xiaotian had also learned much about dicinal skills and was particularly fond of poisonous techniques. Knowing that his companion had obtained the Ancient Poisoning Scripture, Shen Luo was truly happy for him.
Neither of them had other matters to attend to, so they continued their journey, embarking on a white flying boat, following the sea chart and heading deeper into the Eastern Sea.
“Brother Bai, could you please control the flying boat for a while? I will take over later,” Shen Luo said.
“Sure, Brother Shen, go ahead with your matters first,” Bai Xiaotian was taken aback for a mont, then nodded in agreent.
Shen Luo thanked him and seated himself at the stern of the boat, raising his hand in a gesture.
Suddenly, more than a dozen white lights fell around him—these were formation flags that ford a protective cover, sealing off everything.
After completing these preparations, he took out the dicine vial containing the Snow Soul Pill, took out one, and swallowed it eagerly.
As the elixir entered his stomach, it quickly dissolved, turning into a vast surge of pure dicinal power that filled his Dantian and ridians, including a pure, cold essence.
A look of delight imdiately appeared on Shen Luo’s face. The power of the Snow Soul Pill was indeed as potent as he had anticipated. Apart from the Sweet Dew Water, the Three Origin True Water, the Dual-elent True Water, and other elixirs he had taken before, none gave the feeling of having his ridians filled with such vitality.
He cald his mind and hurriedly began to absorb the powerful dicinal power with the Naless Cultivation Technique, his mana rapidly increasing.
As for the cold essence contained within the dicinal power, he also quietly used the Indigo Ocean Divine Technique to absorb it.
