Chapter 493: The Spirit Pill Contains Spirit! The Heavenly Pulse Undergoes Metamorphosis! (2) |
“Innate Martial Artist… Only an Innate Martial Artist could exert such immense pressure on me!”
The man in white himself was a disciple of the Cangyun Sect and had stepped into the Qi-Blood Realm years ago. He understood that the man in black before him was likely an Innate Martial Artist, and the icy aura he exuded was that of someone extremely irritable, ready to strike at a single word of disagreement.
The man in white’s complexion changed, and he forced a smile, “It was my overstep. Please, honored guest, come inside!”
Indeed, Cangyun Pavilion had a rule against bringing weapons inside, but rules are often only for the weak. The man in black before him was clearly not a common character; offending him over such a trivial matter was simply not worth it.
Su Changkong’s expression only softened slightly as he stepped into Cangyun Pavilion.
Cangyun Pavilion had several floors with everything from weapons, Pill Medicines, precious jewels, and medicinal herbs available.
...Apart from Su Changkong, there were many other customers. They all saw Su Changkong and the blade at his waist, and each one of them showed a look of wariness in their eyes, not daring to get too close to Su Changkong.
They were not fools; knowing that someone could enter Cangyun Pavilion with a blade indicated he was no ordinary person!
Su Changkong, though low-key by nature, also knew that if he was to deal with Cangyun Pavilion regularly in the future, being low-key would be futile. It was better to establish an image of a formidable expert not to be trifled with, so the other side would be wary and not act rashly.
Inside Cangyun Pavilion, those responsible for customer service also noticed Su Changkong, who carried his weapon. A young and beautiful woman approached respectfully to inquire.
“I need to purchase some Spiritual Medicines. Have the person in charge of this matter discuss it with me,” Su Changkong said directly.
“Certainly, please follow me, I’ll take you to our manager, Tang Ming.”
Upon hearing that Su Changkong wanted to purchase Spiritual Medicines, the young woman immediately said so.
Spiritual Medicines could only grow in places with abundant Spiritual Energy and were valuable, not something money could easily buy. Transactions of this nature were usually handled by managers.
The young woman led Su Changkong to a VIP room on the second floor of Cangyun Pavilion, having already sent someone ahead to notify them.
In an elegant room on the second floor, Su Changkong met with Manager Tang Ming.
Tang Ming looked to be in his thirties, with a warm smile, genteel demeanor, and elegant carriage. However, a wrinkle at the corner of his eye suggested his actual age was much greater than his appearance.
As a manager of Cangyun Pavilion and responsible for such an important industry, Tang Ming held an Elder-level status within the Cangyun Sect and had a significant position.
“Quite remarkable.”
Upon seeing Su Changkong, Tang Ming inwardly remarked. Su Changkong had a cold demeanor, like an unsheathed Divine Weapon, cold and lethal!
“Please take a seat, esteemed guest. My name is Tang Ming. May I have the honor of knowing your name?”
Tang Ming stood up warmly to invite Su Changkong to sit, introduced himself, and asked for Su Changkong’s name.
“My surname is Dao, first name Wufeng.”
Su Changkong’s response was brief, naturally a name he had made up on the spot.
“Dao Wufeng?”
Tang Ming quickly reviewed his memory and confirmed he had not heard this name before, but with countless experts in Central State, he could not possibly know the background of every one.
“I heard from my subordinates that Brother Dao intends to purchase some Spiritual Medicines?”
Tang Ming said.
“Hmm, here’s the list.”
Su Changkong hummed in response, taking out a list from his bosom and handing it to Tang Ming. The list detailed the medicinal herbs needed to concoct the Spirit Containment Pill, to which Su Changkong had added one or two unnecessary items to mislead.
Tang Ming took it, looked it over carefully, and then looked up to say to Su Changkong, “Brother Dao, some of the herbs on this list are available here at Cangyun Pavilion, but others will need to be obtained from other locations. Three days, it will take three days to get everything. As for the price… 100 Spirit Stones per set. Since it’s Brother Dao’s first time at Cangyun Pavilion, you need to pay a twenty percent deposit regardless of the amount.”
Spiritual Medicines were difficult to purchase with ordinary gold and silver, and among Innate Martial Artists, transactions were mostly done with Spirit Stones as currency.
Spirit Stones were scarce, and only in places with abundant spiritual energy did they occasionally form over time.
The price for one set of Spirit Containment Pill herbs was 100 Spirit Stones, an amount that could not be called inexpensive.
Previously, Su Changkong had worked half a year at the Divine Weapon Villa, and his remuneration was only enough to buy two sets.
“Agreed, I need to purchase ten sets.”
Su Changkong nodded and agreed to the terms.
Su Changkong took out 200 Spirit Stones from his belt pouch as a deposit. He wasn’t worried that Cangyun Pavilion would covet these Spirit Stones.
With a large business and the first-rate Cangyun Sect backing it, Cangyun Pavilion would not risk their reputation over such a small amount of Spirit Stones.
“Brother Dao, please wait, and everything will be ready in three days!”
Tang Ming’s eyes lit up, promptly making the assurance, as a single transaction worth a thousand Spirit Stones was no small deal!
“Hmm, no need to see me out.”
Su Changkong nodded, stood up, and left without further conversation, temporarily leaving Cangyun Pavilion.
In Feiyun City, Su Changkong wandered around leisurely for a while before taking his rest at an inn, waiting.
Early on the third morning, Su Changkong headed to Cangyun Pavilion to meet with Tang Ming.
“Brother Dao, please take a look.”
Tang Ming wasted no words, presenting the jade boxes on a table before Su Changkong.
After inspecting the opened boxes, Su Changkong saw the various Spiritual Medicines for concocting the Spirit Containment Pill. The medicines, which grew in places filled with Spiritual Energy, clearly showed energy flowing on their surfaces, as exquisite as works of art!
