"Shopkeeper, I'm here to pick up the Medicinal Pills."
He was still dressed in black, still wearing a bamboo hat.
Looking at the man standing before her, Su Bai pulled a porcelain bottle from her sleeve.
"The Medicinal Pills are here; take a look."
"Oh, and the Pill Formula you gave me had a small issue, so I modified it."
"I'm kind-hearted, so I won't charge you for it."
As Su Bai handed over the Medicinal Pills, she also took out a new Pill Formula.
The man first took the Medicinal Pills.
He opened the stopper.
Inside were four Medium Grade Nurturing Spirit Pills and one High Grade Nurturing Spirit Pill.
Seeing the quality of the Medicinal Pills, his hand steadied considerably.
"Heh heh heh, everyone around is saying Shopkeeper Su's Alchemy is superb, and seeing it now, it truly lives up to its reputation."
After putting away the Nurturing Spirit Pills,
He then picked up the Pill Formula Su Bai had modified and began to read it.
After he finished reading, he couldn't help but murmur softly:
"So the problem was here? No wonder my previous attempts at Alchemy failed."
Although his voice was very low,
What kind of Cultivation Realm did Su Bai possess?
She heard his words directly.
However, no expression appeared on her face; she merely had some conjectures in her heart.
This man's Cultivation Realm should not be high.
Although the Breath Concealment Art he cultivated was very profound, Su Bai could still detect it.
It's just that Su Bai wasn't the type to pry into others' privacy.
So she didn't delve deeper into his Cultivation Realm.
After the man put away the Pill Formula Su Bai had modified, he took out a Storage Pouch.
"This is one thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, the reward for this Alchemy commission."
Su Bai accepted the Spirit Stones.
Then the man asked again:
"Shopkeeper, do you accept Spirit Medicine?"
"Hmm?"
Su Bai let out a questioning sound.
She then heard the other party continue:
"I unexpectedly obtained a rare Spirit Medicine and wish to sell it, hence my question."
"If the Shopkeeper doesn't accept it, I won't trouble you further."
Spirit Medicine…
Su Bai generally didn't accept it, unless it was Spirit Medicine she didn't possess.
However, thinking that this man could produce a Pill Formula like the Nurturing Spirit Pill, he probably had some good Spirit Medicine.
So she nodded, made a welcoming gesture, and said:
"Heh heh, of course I accept it, Fellow Daoist, please follow me to the private room."
"Alright."
Saying that, Su Bai led the other party to the private room.
After the two were seated,
Su Bai first set up a Restriction.
"We can begin the transaction now, Fellow Daoist, please take out the Spirit Medicine so I can examine it."
Hearing Su Bai's words, the man took out a medicinal box from his Storage Pouch.
He then pushed the medicinal box towards Su Bai.
Su Bai reached out and picked up the medicinal box.
She first glanced at the other party, then looked at the medicinal box in her hand.
This medicinal box was very ordinary, just the simplest kind, used to preserve Spirit Medicine and prevent its spiritual essence from dissipating.
Even before opening the medicinal box,
Su Bai had already smelled the fresh scent of the Spirit Medicine inside.
This made Su Bai raise an eyebrow slightly.
She slowly opened the medicinal box.
Inside, the Spirit Medicine lay quietly, emitting a faint green glow.
"Good medicine."
Su Bai couldn't help but praise.
At this moment, the Cultivator spoke.
"This is a five-hundred-year-old Gathering Spirit Plant. Although it's a second-tier Spirit Medicine, it can barely reach the third tier."
"What do you think, Shopkeeper?"
At this moment, a purple gleam flashed in Su Bai's eyes. She activated the "Purple Qi Vision Technique."
She carefully examined the Gathering Spirit Plant.
There was no deception; this Spirit Medicine was indeed five hundred years old.
Su Bai pondered for a moment.
"This Spirit Medicine is quite valuable. How much do you wish to sell it for, Fellow Daoist?"
This Spirit Medicine had many uses. It could be used to refine Gathering Spirit Pills, and also to refine third-tier Medicinal Pills, such as Spirit Rhyme Pills, which could enhance the Cultivation of Core Formation Cultivators.
Its value was considerable, no cheaper than a second-tier High Grade Medicinal Pill.
However, the other party did not intend to sell it for Spirit Stones but planned to exchange it for Talismans.
"I plan to exchange it for some Talismans."
Upon hearing this, Su Bai understood that eighty percent of those exchanging for Talismans at this time were aiming for the Nascent Soul Secret Realm.
"Alright."
After Su Bai agreed, he took out another medicinal box.
Inside was also a five-hundred-year-old Spirit Medicine, Purple Myrtle Flower.
In the end, Su Bai used over a hundred second-tier Talismans to obtain these two types of Spirit Medicine.
After the other party left, Su Bai compared the Spirit Medicine in her hand.
"The age is the same for both, and he's only at Foundation Establishment Cultivation, yet he dares to take out such Spirit Medicine. His guts are not small; I wouldn't even dare to do that."
Shaking her head, Su Bai put away the two Spirit Medicines.
She didn't waste any more energy on this matter.
As for the Cultivator who completed the transaction with Su Bai, after leaving Danfu Pavilion,
His figure twisted left and right, circling a few times, and finally exited the Inner City.
Then he arrived at an alley in the Outer City, flashed into a courtyard.
After entering the courtyard,
He finally removed the bamboo hat from his head, revealing an unremarkable face.
He slowly let out a breath.
"Hoo~ This Su Bai indeed has some skill."
He looked up into the distance, his gaze fixed on the location of Seven Stars Mountain.
Fifty years ago, he was weathered by hardships, brought by his uncle and sister to this Xingluo Market, joyfully participating in the Six Sects' disciple recruitment assembly.
However, he was eliminated in the first round due to his Spiritual Root Aptitude.
And was even mocked.
At that time, his uncle originally intended to take him and his sister away, but they encountered a robber cultivators on the way. His uncle died tragically, and he and his sister were severely injured.
But heaven never seals off all exits; he and his sister hid in the deep mountains and were taken in by a Loose Cultivator physician.
And also had another Opportunity.
Now, the pseudo-Spiritual Root Cultivator, once looked down upon by the Six Sects, has already reached Foundation Establishment.
Moreover, he had also heard about the news of the Secret Realm in the Xingluo Market.
He originally didn't plan to go, but his sister had a problem with her Cultivation; when she was attempting a Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, her Spiritual Root was damaged.
He happened to have a Pill Formula for repairing Spiritual Roots on him and originally intended to refine it himself.
So he used his own Opportunity to gather the Spirit Medicine for the Nurturing Spirit Pill, but unfortunately, his skill was lacking, and he failed.
But he also didn't want to seek help from Elixir Cauldron Sect, one of the Six Sects, so he thought of Su Bai, who had emerged in the Alchemy Master competition fifty years ago.
This trip indeed did not disappoint him.
Su Bai had refined the Nurturing Spirit Pills.
Now that the Nurturing Spirit Pills were in hand, even if his sister took them, there would definitely still be problems with her subsequent Cultivation.
For his sister, he decided to venture into that Secret Realm.
To see if he could obtain some Opportunity.
There are thousands upon thousands of Cultivators in Xingluo Market.
Qi Refining Cultivators diligently Cultivate, only venturing out to seek Opportunity when making a Breakthrough in Realm.
Anyone who achieved Foundation Establishment,
More or less had some Opportunity on them.
Su Bai had suffered a small loss in this regard before.
So, when she met unfamiliar Cultivators, she never said much, only focusing on the transaction.
And Su Bai's sense of distance,
Precisely made this man feel very comfortable.
He had grown up in this Xingluo Market since he was young and understood Su Bai's character.
Immediately, he decided that in the future, if he had Spirit Medicine or any other needs, he would seek out Su Bai.
"However, it's best to do fewer things involving Spirit Medicine in the future. This was a risk I took for my sister. Although Su Bai has always had a good reputation."
"But, caution is the parent of safety."
