Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

"Honored guest, your arrival is an honor, forgive my failure to greet you from afar, please forgive me! May I ask if you wish to buy or sell? Hundred Herbs Pavilion is a 300-year-old shop, filled with countless Spiritual Medicine's Treasure Pill, I believe it won't disappoint the honored guest." The young attendant spoke quickly, clearly having recited this phrase a thousand times, it has become second nature.

Zhao Sheng stepped forward a few paces, and said lightly, "I want to buy a few special medicinal herbs. You might not know them; ask your shopkeeper to come out!"

As he spoke, Zhao Sheng slightly released his own aura, then immediately restrained it.

The young attendant's face changed drastically, hurriedly bowed, and said, "Senior, our shopkeeper is in the backyard medicine storage, please follow me to the backyard."

Zhao Sheng nodded and followed the attendant through the front shop, across a courtyard, and arrived at a guest reception hall inside.

"This is a place specially used to receive honored guests, senior, please wait a moment. I'll immediately call the shopkeeper over."

After the young attendant finished speaking, he bowed again and then quickly exited the living room.

Not long after, a dignified-looking old man with a fair face walked in briskly.

"This junior, Liu Baiwei, pays respects to the Foundation Establishment senior!" Liu Baiwei saw that the guest was unexpectedly a young gentleman, a flash of surprise in his eyes, but he did not dare to be inattentive and bowed respectfully.

Zhao Sheng saw this and flicked his Divine Light from between his brows, an invisible Divine Sense spread out, transforming into an invisible hand to steady the man's body, then he spoke lightly, "No need for formalities! Manager Liu, please sit down."

Seeing this, Liu Baiwei no longer doubted the man's strength, and respectfully sat on one side.

Zhao Sheng did not make small talk, directly taking out a Jade Scroll, and pushed it in front of Manager Liu, saying, "Manager Liu, please look at this scroll, the Spiritual Medicine I need are all listed in it."

Liu Baiwei listened and picked up the Jade Scroll, placing it on his brow.

After a moment, he removed the Jade Scroll, looking troubled.

Although the Jade Scroll detailed the shapes and properties of seven kinds of Spiritual Medicine with illustrations, he only recognized two out of the seven.

Zhao Sheng saw his embarrassment and comforted him, "Manager Liu, feel free to speak, even if you don't recognize a single one, I will not blame you."

This is what he said, and what he genuinely thought.

After all, he had searched the family medicine collection earlier and had not found a trace of these seven kinds of Spiritual Medicine; thus, they could be unique medicinal plants of the Tianzhu Realm.

In fact, if he spent decades researching new Resurrection Spirit Liquid formulas, he could find substitutes for these seven kinds of Spiritual Medicine. But doing so felt somewhat unworthy of the effort.

If he couldn't find these Spiritual Medicines in Returning City, he would then consider alternative plans.

The so-called Resurrection Spirit Liquid was actually a special concoction he accidentally formulated during past life experiments with the cultivation of Blood Plague Gu,

The original purpose was to increase the survival rate of Plague Insect larvae, unexpectedly, the concocted Spirit Liquid's effect was beyond imagination, having a resurrection-like miraculous effect.

Of course, this Spirit Liquid only had magical effects on insect eggs and larvae like flies, mosquitoes, ants, mites, etc., but was not only ineffective on Human Clan, Fierce Beasts, and other large creatures, but also highly poisonous.

Seeing that the guest was easy to talk to, Manager Liu put his mind at ease and said, "Senior, forgive me. Mr. Liu is somewhat ignorant, only recognizing 'Heart-drying Grass' and 'Ten Thousand Joints Red', but not the others..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng appeared thoughtful, his fingers subconsciously tapped lightly on the table.

Seeing this, Manager Liu felt a pang and hurriedly leaned forward, saying, "Senior, if you urgently need these seven kinds of Spiritual Medicine, I have a suggestion."

"Oh, Manager, please speak." Zhao Sheng's gaze focused upon hearing this, immediately interested.

Manager Liu said, "Our shop has been open for over three hundred years, and has some connections in Returning City's Elixir Pills trade. If the senior doesn't fear secrets being leaked, I can take this Jade Scroll and consult with several Miracle Technique Great Tributor in our trade. If even they don't know these Spiritual Medicines, then there might not be many in this realm who can recognize them."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng immediately felt tempted and said smiling, "In that case, I'll trouble Manager Liu."

"Senior, you're too kind! Please be patient, I will immediately go to consult several Great Tributor."

Finished speaking, Manager Liu picked up the Jade Scroll and walked out of the elegant reception hall in a hurry.

Not long after, the young attendant entered, carrying a tray with two tea cups and two plates of preserved fruit and snacks.

After placing down the tea cups and snacks, the attendant sensibly retreated but waited outside the door.

After waiting for about four hours, the sun was setting, and dusk was approaching.

At this time, Manager Liu walked into the living room, excitement on his face, and said, "Fortunately, I have not failed! Senior, the seven medicinal herbs you wanted have been found. I have brought back six kinds, only the Thousand-year-old Flood Dragon Scale Ganoderma is out of stock in the city, you'll need to wait a few days."

Zhao Sheng raised an eyebrow at these words, quite surprised by the profound resources of Returning City's Elixir Pills trade.

While speaking, Manager Liu took out six various-sized herb boxes from the Qiankun Bag and opened them one by one before Zhao Sheng.

After carefully examining the six Spiritual Medicines in the boxes, Zhao Sheng found their age and preservation exceeded his requirements, and couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

"Manager Liu, I'll take all these Spiritual Medicines, may I ask how many Spirit Stones it requires? And the price of the Thousand-year-old Flood Dragon Scale Ganoderma too."

"Senior, these six kinds of Spiritual Medicine are rare and precious, costing two hundred and thirty-two Mid-grade Spirit Stones. I'll round off the odd number, making it two hundred and thirty stones. As for the Thousand-year-old Flood Dragon Scale Ganoderma, considering the age, its price should be between seventy and three hundred Mid-grade Spirit Stones." Manager Liu's cautious temperament prevented him from asking excessively high prices, so he gave a fair price.
