Purchasing Required Medicinal Herbs
Two little girls came up to Xuan Yi and chattered excitedly about Sky City.
Xiao Tian took the opportunity to survey the entire rooftop environment.
Although the entire rooftop is only half the size of the second floor, it is still about the size of twelve or thirteen basketball courts.
At first glance, there were only forty or fifty people, but the lowest among them were Seven Rank Alchemist, and there were even a few Rank 8 Alchemist, as well as one or two Dou Zun Expert.
If these dozens of people were outside, each of them would be a true powerhouse or Alchemy Grandmaster capable of causing a sensation.
The appearance of Xiao Tian and his group of four naturally attracted their attention, but when they vaguely sensed the aura that Xiao Tian deliberately released and the badge on Xuan Yi's body, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
A Dou Zun and a Core Elder —these two combined represent the most prestigious statuses here.
Although everyone present was very curious about Xiao Tian and Xuan Yi's identities, none of them intended to inquire about them.
Whether it's the rules here or across the entire continent, prying into someone's secrets and background is a taboo; it can easily turn you into a mortal enemy.
The people inside glanced at it, then looked away and continued selecting the medicinal herbs they needed.
"I didn't expect you to spoil these two little girls so much, actually using so many special jade stones to build them a palace." Xuan Yi Xiao Tian with amusement after hearing the two little girls' explanation.
"If I have the means, I can do whatever I want." Xiao Tianyi shrugged, looking completely unconcerned.
"You have all these qualities, yet you still want me to keep you as a mistress." Xuan Yi glanced at Xiao Tian, who had taken advantage of her, with a seductive air.
"That's different. There are conditions, and being kept is being kept. The two are not mutually exclusive," Xiao Tian said righteously.
Xiao Ling and her two little ones covered their mouths and chuckled when they heard Xiao Tian's words. Only their father could talk nonsense with such a straight face.
According to the Xiehouyu my father taught me, it's like a sow wearing a bra, one set after another.
Xuan Yi knew she couldn't win an argument with Xiao Tian, after all, she had experienced his sharp tongue firsthand. She turned around and led the two little ones inside.
Xiao Tian also followed them with light steps, looking around at the surrounding stalls.
It must be said that the items on the top floor are much better than those on the second floor; almost everything inside, except for some special treasures that require gambling, is there.
The rest were all medicinal herbs, and these herbs were not easy to find outside, and were used to refine Rank 7 Pills and Rank 8 Pills pills.
Of course, this comes with a price, which is also extremely high; you get what you pay for, a timeless truth.
As he walked, Xiao Tian bought a lot of medicinal herbs, all paid for by the Xuan the Rich Woman, making the people around him envious to the point of tears streaming down their faces.
Even the two little girls couldn't resist buying two pretty medicinal herbs. Yes, they were pretty in appearance, since Xiao Ling still wouldn't need these high-grade herbs.
Xiao Tianyi walked, he searched for the so-called disheveled old man, Elder Yan, hoping to buy the ancient bronze piece.
Although I can't use the Spirit-Bearing Dust myself, I can "give" it to my little brother, which is practically a free favor.
Using your opportunities to gain favors and make the most of an item's value—that's what professionalism is.
Xiao Tian and his companions continued walking, then suddenly stopped in front of a stall.
On the jade platform, some medicinal herbs were scattered about. One of the herbs was placed in a transparent jade box, which was obviously not an ordinary item.
After glancing at it, Xiao Tian looked at the stall owner, an old man in a gray robe with a wrinkled face but shrewd eyes, who was lying lazily on the stone platform.
On his chest was a badge, on which flames swirled and formed a tower, upon which seven Purple Gold Clan Mark stars shone with dazzling light.
Xiao Tian was familiar with this Alchemist Badge. The fact that all seven stars on the badge were equally brilliant meant that the person was a Seventh Grade High-Level Alchemist.
Alchemist Badge levels are determined by the number of stars and the brightness of the last star.
The basic level is dim and lacks luster; the intermediate level is dim and faintly glowing; the advanced level is dazzling and radiant.
Xiao Tian ignored the other items, his eyes fixed on the medicinal herb inside the jade box.
This is a herbaceous plant that resembles a small grass, with an overall height of about 20 centimeters. Its leaves are slender and have fine serrations along the edges.
The leaves are not green, but a mixture of various colors, with a glossy surface as if covered by a thin layer of wax. Under the light, they shimmer with a captivating luster, as radiant as glass.
At the base of the leaf, there is an inconspicuous thin blue line.
This is precisely the Lapis Grass that Xiao Tian is looking for. It is a plant with a faint spirituality, capable of communicating with the Heaven and Earth Energy, and is also one of the four main medicinal ingredients that Xiao Tian uses to concoct the Sacred Liquid.
The old man also sensed someone in front of his stall and glanced up at Xiao Tian:
"Stop looking, my Lapis Grass is real, not some other junk pretending to be it."
His eyes then fell on the person behind Xiao Tian, and when he saw the badge on the Xuan Yi, a subtle glint appeared in the old man's eyes.
"If you want it, I'll give you an Rank 8 Pills with Four-Color Pill Lightning. You should know that this is something that can be used even by pills with Eight-Color Pill Lightning."
Xiao Tian raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "You must be joking. Your Lapis Grass is indeed real, but it's just Transparent Blue Core Lapis Grass. You're selling it at the price of Purple Core. Doesn't that seem a bit excessive?"
"And the Eight-Color Pill Lightning you mentioned can also be used, but only to enhance its spirituality and harmonize with other medicinal herbs."
The old man's face stiffened, then he looked at the Xuan Yi behind Xiao Tian, thinking it was a reminder. He chuckled, "Young friend, you have good eyesight. Since what you said makes sense, I'll compromise and give you a Two-Color Pill Lightning, Rank 8 Pills that satisfies me."
Xiao Tian didn't rush to pay for the pills. Instead, he examined the other items on the table again, but found nothing of value. "Let me see what's there first."
The old man handed the jade box to Xiao Tian: "Of course."
After examining it, Xiao Tian found that there was no damage. Once the Lapis Grass has even the smallest crack, its medicinal effect will gradually diminish over time.
Just as Xiao Tian was about to take out the pills to make the transaction, a streak of light suddenly flashed past Xiao Tian.
