Chapter 367
On the scarred man's body, Li Fuchen12Li Fuchen
Main Protagonist found a silver-threaded storage bag. It contained over 1000 low-grade spirit stones and some other things like elixirs and such.
1000 over low-grade spirit stones weren't a small sum.
After all, a Reincarnation Realm martial artist would also need to absorb and refine low-grade spirit stones.
Generally speaking, a 1st level Reincarnation Realm martial artist would need to absorb one low-grade spirit stone a day. If a more powerful cultivation technique was being used, the consumption would increase to about one and a half pieces of spirit stone a day.
When one had reached the Reincarnation Realm, things like gold coins were useless. They were only mindful of spirit stones. After all, a single low-grade spirit stone could be auctioned for over ten million gold coins. What uses were there to have so many gold coins?
In comparison, the Black Mountain Three Tigers' storage bags were simply poor. Even if the three of their belongings were added together, there were only a few dozen low-grade spirit stones.
But Li Fuchen didn't know that the trio initially had used over 300 low-grade spirit stones and they had used 300 of them to hire the scarred man. This was their accumulated wealth over many years.
After packing up, Li Fuchen continued on his way.
…
Raging Inferno City was one of the top ten cities in the South Forest Region and had a population that exceeded ten million.
The reason Li Fuchen visited this city because this city had the most Concoction Masters.
On this day, Li Fuchen appeared outside of the Raging Inferno City's eastern gate.
Looking as far as the eye could see, the Raging Inferno City was much bigger than Li Fuchen had imagined. The city was already over a hundred meters in height and the stream of people entering and exiting the city gate had an astounding number. Li Fuchen was even able to see a few figures of Reincarnation Realm martial artists.
"Even Reincarnation Realm martial artists have to enter and exit the Raging Inferno City on foot. It seems like the city must be enveloped by an air restriction array."
Air restriction arrays might be legends in the East Unicorn Continent, but they common in the Seven Color Continent.
Air restriction arrays were separated by classes, a class 5 air restriction array was sufficient to restrict the Reincarnation Realm martial artists from taking flight.
But it must be a hard task to envelop a city that could hold ten million people.
"Each person is to pay one gold bar. If anyone dares to bluff their way in, don't blame my ruthless blade." The soldier captain swept sharp eyes and yelled coldly.
At the entrance of the city, the soldiers were extremely stringent. All these soldiers were at the Origin Return Realm.
When it was Li Fuchen's turn, he tossed over a gold bar on the table.
In the Seven Color Continent, a single gold bar was equivalent to ten gold coins.
"The horse also needs to pay one gold bar." The soldier reminded.
Li Fuchen nodded in response and took out another gold bar.
He had forgotten about the rules of entering the city. It would cost a single gold bar if one was to enter alone. If one was bringing a horse in, it would need an additional gold bar. If it was a merchant caravan, it would cost even more. Apart from the humans and horses that had to pay the gold bars, the overall cost would be doubled.
After handing over the gold bars, Li Fuchen entered the Raging Inferno City.
"Such a spacious road."
The luxurious outlook of Raging Inferno City had shocked Li Fuchen a little.
Once Li Fuchen entered the city, he saw the main road made of black bricks. This main road was separated into two different directions and each direction was 30 meters in width. It was spacious enough to fit ten carriages riding across in a parallel row. The center of the two roads were lush greenery which was about ten meters in width. Which meant to say that this main road was 70 meters in width. It was extremely impressive and grand.
On the side of the roads were luxurious shops and each shop had at least three floors. There were some that were over a dozen floors but were completely deserted.
Due to the road being spacious, Li Fuchen didn’t feel congested even when walking with his horse.
The first thing to do after entering Raging Inferno City was to find a place to stay.
But Li Fuchen didn’t intend to find a place immediately.
The Raging Inferno City was split into the inner and outer city.
The elixirs that Li Fuchen wanted to buy were in the inner city, hence, it was impossible for him to stay in the outer city.
Heading into the inner city had cost Li Fuchen another segment of time.
As compared to the outer city, the soldiers at the inner city gate were on another cultivation realm. Each of them were all Earth Shatter Realm, but they all had rather good attitudes. It was obvious that they knew the visitors that could enter the inner city were all extraordinary people.
The price to enter the inner city was much higher and each person would require ten gold circles.
In this place, a piece of gold circle was equivalent to ten gold bars, which was also 100 gold coins.
Which meant to say that one would require to pay 1000 gold coins to enter the city.
After handing over 20 gold circles, Li Fuchen successfully entered the inner city.
The inner city's roads weren't as spacious as the roads in the outer city, but this place had ten times or dozens of times lesser people than the outside. Furthermore, everyone was at least Earth Shatter Realm and there were plenty of Heaven Dipper Realm martial artists. As for Reincarnation Realm martial artists, Li Fuchen would be able to see one or two of them after walking for a moment.
After spending one hour, Li Fuchen chose an inn called Cloud Guest Residence.
This inn cost 5000 gold coins a single night. Li Fuchun didn't know how long he was going to stay. He who didn't like to be troubled immediately handed over a month's worth of downpayment.
After settling with the lodgings and the Unicorn Wildebeest, Li Fuchen left the Cloud Guest Residence and immediately started strolling around the inner city.
The inner city was indeed worthy of the cost. The elixirs in the elixir stalls were at least mystic class low-tier. There wasn't a single yellow class elixir.
But Li Fuchen had only discovered regular elixir shops that had a low stock of mystic class peak-tier elixirs. They also lacked variety and there weren't any elixirs that he wanted.
After asking around, Li Fuchen got to know that the inner city had five major elixir shops. Every one of them sold earth class elixirs and they had multiple kinds of mystic class elixirs.
Soon enough, Li Fuchen arrived at one of the five major elixir shops, the Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion.
This Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion was the elixir shop which had the most variety of elixirs in Raging Inferno City and was extremely reputable.
The Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion occupied a huge space and it was just like a three-floored palace. The inside was glimmering with pearls and jewels, giving off an extraordinary feeling.
After entering, a shop assistant immediately attended to Li Fuchen.
"Customer, what class and what kind of elixir do you need?" The shop assistant bowed slightly and inquired respectfully.
Li Fuchen replied, "I need mystic class peak-tier or earth class elixirs. The elixir's effect is to expel impurities in the body."
"Mystic class peak-tier or earth class?"
The shop assistant's eyes lit up. Such a customer wasn't one he could serve and must be served by the supervisor. Of course, he would also receive a substantial reward.
"This customer, please wait for a moment, I will invite supervisor Elder Huo."
The shop assistant revealed an apologetic look and quickly invited the supervisor.
A short moment later, a green-robed elder walked over.
Elder Huo was one of the eighteen supervisors in the Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion. Those people served by him were all major customers.
"I wonder what is this Young Hero's family name?" Elder Huo smiled and asked.
"Li."
"Young Hero Li, please come to the second floor. The things that you need are all on the second floor." Elder Huo gestured with his right hand and immediately led the way.
Very quickly, the duo arrived on the second floor.
As compared to the first floor, the second floor was brighter and had much lesser counters.
Coming in front of a counter, Elder Huo pointed at an elixir in the counter which was made of transparent crystals and said, "This is the mystic class peak-tier elixir, Marrow Cleansing Elixir. It can be used to cleanse the marrow and bone. It has prominent effects in cleansing the body's impurities. One elixir is 30 low-grade spirit stones. If you are to buy ten elixirs at one transaction, one additional elixir will be given as a gift."
"Marrow Cleansing Elixir uh? Let me try one."
"Sure."
Seeing that Li Fuchen was purchasing immediately, the smile on Elder Huo's face got even more passionate.
30 low-grade spirit stones wasn't a small amount. Even a low-level Reincarnation Realm martial artist wouldn't spend 30 low-grade spirit stones so casually.
"Elder Huo, do the Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion has secret rooms? I wish to try the effects of this Marrow Cleansing Elixir." Li Fuchen inquired.
Elder Huo quickly nodded, "We do. Our Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion is one of the five major elixir shops in Raging Inferno City. It is natural for us to have secret rooms. Will Young Hero Li come this way."
The second floor of the Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion was huge and it was prepared with secret rooms all around. After entering a secret room and closing the door, Li Fuchen sat cross-legged.
"It is also a mystic class peak-tier elixir, but a regular body refinement elixir costs a few low-grade spirit stones, but a single Marrow Cleansing Elixir costs 30 low-grade spirit stones. I hope it doesn't disappoint me."
According to the grade of the elixir, the price would vary. But different types would also have different prices. Furthermore, the price difference was very big.
For instance, there were some elixirs that helped with the breakthrough of the cultivation realm. Even if the grade was low, it would be ridiculously expensive.
Elixirs that expelled impurities in the body were also rather special and were very expensive too.
While sitting cross-legged on the mat, Li Fuchen consumed the Marrow Cleansing Elixir.
As Li Fuchen couldn't utilize his qi, he could only wait for the Marrow Cleansing Elixir to dissolve by itself.
After a moment later, Li Fuchen felt the meticulous and violent medicinal effects diffusing. Immediately after, Li Fuchen felt that his bones and flesh were being pricked by needles and it felt extremely sore.
The medicinal effects didn't last long. It had been depleted after around one hour.
Li Fuchen opened his eyes and looked down to see that the surface of his skin had oozed out plenty of black substance which had traces of odor.
"This Marrow Cleansing Elixir can only target the demonic beast essence blood impurities. It cannot target the impurities from the Blood Corpse Elixir. But the medicinal effects are rather good as it actually expelled 5% of the demonic beast essence blood impurities."
5% of impurities wasn't considered little. After all, Li Fuchen had consumed way too much demonic beast essence blood and the impurities in his body were just too extreme.
The secret room was also equipped with a bath. After bathing, Li Fuchen opened the secret room door and walked out.
"Young Hero Li, how are the effects?" Elder Huo quickly asked.
"The effects are okay but I wish to see if there are any other elixirs." Li Fuchen responded.
"Sure. This way please." Elder Huo understood and nodded his head.
Coming back to the counter again, Elder Huo introduced, "This elixir is called the Jade Water Elixir. It has even more detailed effects when expelling the impurities. It can reach deep into the bones and flesh. The only flaw is the long waiting time and doesn't have fast effects like the Marrow Cleansing Elixir."
Just as Elder Huo said, the Jade Water Elixir didn't have a fast effect like the Marrow Cleansing Elixir.
But with Li Fuchen's exceptional awareness, he could sense that the medicinal effects of the Jade Water Elixir could permeate deeper than the Marrow Cleansing Elixir. It would occupy the deeper areas and slowly whittle away the demonic beast essence blood impurities. In terms of effects, it was much better than the Marrow Cleansing Elixir.
Finally, Li Fuchen tried another elixir called the Golden Bone Elixir.
The Golden Bone Elixir mainly targetted the impurities in the bone and had a weaker effect on the impurities in the flesh.
"Give me ten Marrow Cleansing Elixirs and ten Jade Water Elixirs."
Ultimately, Li Fuchen decided to purchase the Marrow Cleansing Elixirs and the Jade Water Elixirs. He bought ten elixirs each.
"Young Hero Li, your elixirs." Elder Huo was smiling pleasantly.
The Marrow Cleansing Elixir cost 30 spirit stones for one elixir, while the Jade Water Elixir cost 32 spirit stones for one elixir. The total cost was 620 low-grade spirit stones. Elder Huo had already completed his quota for the month and had exceeded quite a bit. In the Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion, once the quota was exceeded, he would receive a percentage of the profits.
After taking the 22 elixirs, Li Fuchen left the Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion.
For the next period of time, Li Fuchen's mission was to expel the impurities in his body and quickly resolve this trouble.
