Qin Luo stepped into the store, his footsteps landing on the carpet without making a sound.
The clerk behind the counter yawned listlessly, and when he saw Qin Luo come in, he just lazily raised his eyelids.
Seeing that the shop assistant didn't seem inclined to serve him, Qin Luo looked around at the pills in the shop, which at a glance were all ordinary pills.
Ordinary pills like strengthening pills, beauty pills, and qi and blood pills are indeed attractive to mortals, but for his current level of cultivation, they are no different from stones on the roadside.
Most importantly, these pills were priced at a terrifying 100 low-grade spirit stones each!
You heard right, it's one.
Considering that Xia Zihan could only barely obtain two low-grade spirit stones after a long day of hard work in the simulation, the price of this pill was terrifyingly high.
Qin Luo shook his head and continued looking down. After browsing for a while, he finally saw some pills that cultivators needed, but they were only the most basic Rejuvenation Pills, and the price was 10 mid-grade spirit stones!
The fact that this pill, which costs less than two low-grade spirit stones, could be sold for such a high price shocked Qin Luo.
Suppressing his childish impulses, Qin Luo continued looking. In the next half hour, he examined all the pills in the shop, but the best he found were only some pills that restored spiritual energy, and even those were low-grade.
Helpless, he could only walk to the counter and say softly, "Hey buddy, do you have any pills suitable for cultivators in the Spirit Gathering Realm?"
The waiter then perked up a bit and said, "Young master, are you joking? Medium-grade pills are only available in some sects or alchemy families. We only have these ordinary pills here."
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo's face showed a hint of disappointment. He hadn't expected the pills to be so strictly controlled. It seemed his plan to buy some cultivation pills for Xia Zihan was going to fall through.
"Wait a minute, if there are no cultivation pills for sale in this city, how did the simulated Xia Zihan increase her strength?"
Thinking of this, Qin Luo's eyes flashed, and he took out dozens of mid-grade spirit stones and placed them in his hand.
He then waved the spirit stone in front of the shopkeeper and said in a low voice, "Brother, do me a favor and tell me where in this city I can buy cultivation pills."
The waiter's eyes lit up instantly, his gaze shifting back and forth between Ling Shi and Qin Luo's faces, but he still hesitated before saying, "This... this is a bit against the rules."
Qin Luo smiled slightly, then took out ten mid-grade spirit stones and said, "As long as you tell me, these are all yours."
The shop assistant glanced at the twenty mid-grade spirit stones, swallowed hard, and finally succumbed to the temptation, whispering, "Alright, for the sake of the spirit stones. There's a second-grade alchemist in the Li family in the west of the city. It's said that they occasionally produce batches of cultivation pills for the Spirit Gathering Realm from there. That's all I know, sir..."
After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper looked longingly at the twenty mid-grade spirit stones in Qin Luo's hand, which was equivalent to two months' salary for him.
Qin Luo nodded in satisfaction, tossed the spirit stones to the shop assistant, and then left the shop.
"As expected, there's nothing that spirit stones can't do. If there is, it's because you haven't spent enough!"
Qin Luo chuckled and headed west of the city.
In the western part of the city, this is the residence of the city's wealthy. The streets are wide and clean, and the buildings on both sides are tall and magnificent, with vermilion gates and exquisite carved windows exuding an air of nobility.
There weren't many pedestrians on the road, but those who did come and go were all richly dressed or riding in exquisitely decorated carriages. The shops lining the street were also dazzling, selling all sorts of rare items.
This made Qin Luo marvel at the difference from other areas. After searching for a while, he finally found the Li family's residence in front of a grand courtyard.
Just as Qin Luo was about to knock on the courtyard gate, a sound of whipping came from inside the wall, which made him look puzzled. So he released his spiritual sense.
Judging from the feedback from the spirit, it appears that a young master of the Li family is whipping a plain-looking female servant.
Qin Luo didn't think much of it. Since it was someone else's business, he had no right to say anything. He had no interest in doing something as cliché as a hero saving a damsel in distress.
Just then, a name suddenly appeared on the investor interface of the system.
Name: Qin Luo
[Realm Level: Level 3 of the Spirit Gathering Realm]
[Constitution: Ethereal Holy Body]
[Technique: The Ultimate Unity of All Things]
[Number of investments available: 1]
[Number of simulation attempts: 1 (refreshes every 24 hours)]
[Investable Woman: Yi-Ting]
"Could it be the woman being beaten inside?"
This absurd idea popped into Qin Luo's mind. He had just said he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but then again, if he could make an investment, he would be willing to be a hero.
Thinking of this, Qin Luo no longer hesitated. Purple stars shimmered beneath his feet, and in the next moment, he crossed the ten-meter-high wall.
At that moment, he also witnessed what was happening in the courtyard.
A woman dressed in loose cloth was curled up on the ground. She had a very ordinary appearance and her face was covered with freckles.
She was wearing a very large cloth garment, which made her look quite bulky.
But under Qin Luo's spiritual sense, it was a completely different scene.
Beneath the cloth robe, the woman's figure was extremely graceful, with alluring curves.
Her waist was slender, seemingly fragile enough to be grasped with a single hand, yet possessed just the right amount of suppleness. Her breasts were full and voluptuous, swaying slightly with her trembling, as if concealing endless allure. Her rounded and pert buttocks added to her captivating charm.
