9: Chapter 9 Du Xiaoyue

Wang Bin skillfully arrived at the Four Seas Commerce League’s shop.

Without a doubt, this was the renowned Four Seas Commerce League’s shop.

The Four Seas Commerce League, just from its name, clearly showed that it was a massive power primarily focused on commercial trade.

In this fantastical world, there was no such thing as class distinction, and equality for all was an unattainable fantasy.

In this world, everything depended on the strength of one’s power.

Within its vast dominion, the Four Seas Commerce League held a dominant position in all business Domains capable of earning Spirit Stones.

It was said that the Four Seas Commerce League was one of the top powers in the entire Cultivation World, with its commercial reach extending throughout the Cultivation World, and there were even rumors claiming that the Four Seas Commerce League also had frequent business dealings with the Yao Race.

Of course, Wang Bin had not yet verified these rumors, and these matters were temporarily not of much concern to him.

In this bustling city, the number of Mortals was not small, even more numerous than Cultivators.

After all, even if both parents were powerful Cultivators, their children might not all possess the talent for Cultivation.

As Wang Bin walked towards the Four Seas Commerce League, in just one short hour, he encountered over a hundred Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

Alas! In this place, he felt not a single shred of superiority.

In comparison, his own White Cloud City was better; at least there, he held absolute authority.

However, when he arrived at the Four Seas Commerce League’s shop, he was truly shocked by the sight before him.

The scale of this shop was even larger than his White Cloud City.

The shop’s building was tall and majestic, occupying a vast area, fully several acres in size.

Its massive body was like a sleeping giant beast, exuding an awe-inspiring sense of Aura.

The walls were constructed entirely of uniform green boulders, each meticulously carved and seamlessly fitted together, exuding an ancient and profound Aura.

The shop’s main entrance was even wider than imagined, with two gates cast from fine iron, inlaid with various mysterious runes, as if silently narrating the profound heritage of this shop.

In this bustling and lively Cultivation market, other shops were like stars surrounding a bright moon in the night sky, tightly clustered around this gigantic shop.

In comparison, those ordinary shops appeared exceptionally small and simple, while this Four Seas Commerce League shop stood out like a crane among chickens, exuding an unparalleled powerful Aura.

People came and went in a continuous stream at the shop entrance, with numerous Cultivators constantly pouring inside.

The shop assistants at the entrance were incredibly busy, yet they still enthusiastically greeted every customer.

Inside the shop, voices buzzed, with sounds of bargaining, admiration, and discussion interwoven, forming a vibrant and lively scene.

This thriving popularity further added to the shop’s prestige and grandeur.

When Wang Bin entered the shop, he immediately felt a rich Spiritual Qi wash over him, as if he had instantly found himself in a vast ocean of Spiritual Qi.

The Cultivators inside the shop were either carefully selecting goods or conversing with the staff, with excitement and anticipation evident on everyone’s faces.

As soon as Wang Bin stepped into the shop, an elegant Qi Refinement Stage female Cultivator approached him.

This female Cultivator had a well-proportioned and eye-catching figure.

With a respectful smile, the female Cultivator said, “Junior Martial Uncle, I am Outer Sect Disciple Du Xiaoyue.

Is there anything you need to purchase? You can ask me for anything. If I cannot handle it, I can report it to the manager.”

Du Xiaoyue accurately determined Wang Bin’s position as an Outer Sect Disciple just by looking at his clothes.

Wang Bin nodded slightly at her.

This female Cultivator had already reached the seventh level of the Qi Refinement Realm; she must be here for training.

Her appearance and figure were both top-notch, what a pity!

Don’t misunderstand her current respectful, smiling welcome; if he wanted to find her as a Dao Companion, she would most likely not be interested in him.

“I need to buy some Medicinal Pills; lead the way.”

Du Xiaoyue led Wang Bin to a quiet private room and thoughtfully brewed him a cup of spiritual tea.

It was Wang Bin’s first time tasting spiritual tea; just smelling its fresh aroma made his mind instantly clear.

The aroma was fresh and natural, intoxicating people. This was truly a good thing!

It was a pity that the former Immortal Master Qingmu was so poor that he would rather split a Spirit Stone in two than spend it, so how could he buy such luxurious items for cultivation?

After taking a small sip of the tea, Wang Bin tried to appear nonchalant, as he couldn’t make a fool of himself at this moment.

“I need one Rejuvenation Pill, one Meridian Protection Pill, and one Breakthrough Pill for breaking through minor Realms in the Foundation Establishment Stage.”

Upon hearing Wang Bin’s request, Du Xiaoyue immediately replied, “Junior Martial Uncle, these Medicinal Pills are all available in the shop.

The Rejuvenation Pill costs 100 Spirit Stones, the Meridian Protection Pill is 200 Spirit Stones, and the Breakthrough Pill is relatively more expensive, requiring 500 Spirit Stones.

These three Medicinal Pills combined amount to eight hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

As an Outer Sect Disciple of the Four Seas Commerce League, you can enjoy a 5% discount at our shop, so the total will be 760 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.”

Wang Bin initially thought he had misheard; was it that cheap?

But he quickly realized he had thought too much. If 760 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones were converted into Low-Grade Spirit Stones, that would be seventy-six thousand! This made him happy for nothing.

“No problem, bring me the items.”

After Du Xiaoyue left, Wang Bin immediately finished the spiritual tea in front of him and then poured himself another cup.

When Du Xiaoyue brought three porcelain bottles, Wang Bin casually inspected them based on Immortal Master Qingmu’s memories; there should be no problem.

After all, the Four Seas Commerce League had a certain level of integrity in this regard.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Bin continued to ask, “What Medicinal Pills does the shop have that accelerate Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation?”

Du Xiaoyue replied, “Junior Martial Uncle, our shop only sells one type of Medicinal Pill suitable for Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation: the True Essence Pill.

Consuming one True Essence Pill can increase the efficiency of a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator’s meditation Cultivation by 50% for the next month.

This True Essence Pill costs 20 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones per pill, and they are sold in batches of ten or more.

How many do you need, Junior Martial Uncle? As for other Medicinal Pills with better Cultivation effects, you will need to exchange them at the Merit Hall using contribution points.”

Wang Bin didn’t speak, merely pretending to be deep in thought, but inwardly, he was cursing incessantly.

Damn, that’s too expensive! His annual salary was only 2,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, which converted to only 20 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

That was only enough for him to eat one True Essence Pill; this was truly helpless!

Indeed, without enough money, the path of Cultivation was difficult to continue.

Was Qingmu’s method of Cultivation wrong? Did he reach the Foundation Establishment Stage through arduous asceticism?

After thinking about it, Wang Bin still sighed helplessly. He glanced at the 1,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones in his Storage Pouch; he would only buy these Medicinal Pills for now.

“Take me to see the items that can be used by Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, let’s see what else I need to buy.

Let me broaden my horizons and give me some motivation to earn Spirit Stones. I’ll patronize your business again next time.”

“Hehehe, Junior Martial Uncle, you really know how to joke. You are already a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator.

Don’t think that just because I casually mention hundreds of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, it means I don’t take them seriously.

Actually, my annual salary plus commission is only a little over 2,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, which is only a little over 20 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

I need to save for 20 years, plus School contribution points, to possibly exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill within the Sect. Only then will I have a chance to glimpse the threshold of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

If Foundation Establishment fails, I will have no choice but to consider marrying a Senior, as long as he can give me a Foundation Establishment Pill.”

After speaking, Du Xiaoyue meaningfully glanced at Wang Bin before swaying her hips and walking out.
