Lin Changheng smiled faintly and nodded to the round-faced steward. "Of course, of course. Whenever I need anything in the future, your shop will certainly be my first choice." In reality, however, once he collected the next batch of Flame-Tailed Golden Mouse essence blood, he would have virtually no reason to deal with this shop again.
They did not sell mystic spirit essence blood.
And the Flame-Tailed Golden Mouse was the only source of turbid baleful essence blood this shop stocked in large quantities.
Naturally, Lin Changheng would not bluntly tell them the truth. Instead, he played along and exchanged polite pleasantries, securing the discount they had volunteered first.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Changheng altered his appearance again and made another trip to the Jiang Family Material Shop, collecting the three hundred portions of Flame-Tailed Golden Mouse essence blood they had restocked.
He now had six hundred portions of Flame-Tailed Golden Mouse essence blood.
That meant he could take his current third-level Flame-Tailed Golden Mouse Treasure Seed straight to the pinnacle through spirit seizure.
"Pill Master Lin."
On his way back to Cloudgate Court, he encountered a beautiful female cultivator in a court gown, her dark hair pinned high and her bearing almost holy. She smiled and greeted Lin Changheng.
"Musical Healer Cui."
Lin Changheng nodded in return.
Her name was Cui Jianshui, his immediate neighbor to the left. She lived alone, had reached the Qi Refining seventh layer, and possessed a professional skill as well.
She was proficient in the Way of Music and was known as a musical healer.
Through zithers, flutes, singing, and instrumental performances, she could heal the heart and soul, cleanse the mind, nurture the spirit, dispel mental barriers, and even induce sudden enlightenment.
It was truly marvelous.
