Chapter 104 Jin Manlou
Whether it's the demonic path or the righteous path, there's no fundamental difference.
He vividly remembered the faces of those righteous cultivators who collected spirit stones when he passed through Black Mountain Pass.
Birds of a feather flock together.
He was weak, but he had empathy.
If I become a Nascent Soul cultivator in the future, will I still be able to maintain the childlike innocence I have today?
Wang Yu didn't know, and dared not ask himself!
"Senior brother, we've arrived at the female cultivators' quarters. Is there anyone you fancy?"
The words of those around him brought Wang Yu back to his senses, and he looked at the garden on his right.
A group of beauties, each with their own unique charm and figure, were playing musical instruments, serving tea and fanning themselves, or singing and dancing gracefully, each displaying their talents.
There are tender branches and leaves, and a delicate, pretty young girl.
A well-bred young lady with bright eyes, white teeth, a slender waist, and delicate hands.
There are graceful, charming, and sexy mature women.
So many... so many beautiful women, it's overwhelming and hard to look away from.
Even though it wasn't their first time there, Han Fei and Yang Shan were still mesmerized and couldn't help but exclaim:
"If I could stay here for even one day, I would gladly die right now."
"One day? I want seven days!"
"Hehe, as long as the adults have fun."
Wang Yu watched their disgraceful behavior, his heart remaining calm and unmoved; they were nothing but a bunch of vulgar women.
"There's nothing to see here, let's go."
"You're leaving already?"
Han Fei said in surprise, "I thought my senior brother would buy a few."
"Since Lord Zhou is going to hold an auction, he certainly won't let us buy the final item in advance. Otherwise, how would he make a profit? Let's wait until the auction to see."
"That's true, you can only make big money at auctions by bidding."
Seeing that they were only looking and not buying, the servant's expression gradually darkened, and he was no longer as humble as before.
"Since the three of you are not buying, then you should leave quickly. I still have other guests to entertain."
Han Fei and Yang Shan glared angrily, but dared not retaliate. After all, they were also subordinates of Lord Zhou, and as long as they were in Shi Xin City, they had to obey his orders.
"Senior brother, let's not stoop to this person's level. Let me take you to see other places."
"Alright."
As he walked, Wang Yu suddenly stopped and pointed to a walled courtyard, asking, "Are there any items for auction here?"
The servant was getting impatient.
"No, no, let's go!"
"Oh--"
Wang Yu treated him coldly, and the aura of the eighth level of Qi Refining pressed down on the servant. The servant trembled and fell to the ground, cold sweat pouring down his face.
"What...what are you trying to do? This is Lord Zhou's territory!"
"I ask you questions, you answer them. With this kind of attitude, even if I kill you, you surnamed Zhou, you wouldn't dare to do anything to me."
Wang Yu's words immediately caught the man off guard, and he honestly replied:
"This courtyard is the residence of Miss Hongxiu. She is the main item in this auction, a unique female master trained by Xianfanju over ten years."
"What level of cultivation?"
"Qi Refining Level 4".
Wang Yu nodded and stopped asking questions. The reason for this sudden turn of events was that the person inside had suddenly transmitted a message to him, and the intensity of that divine sense had reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
The message she sent was simply that she was imprisoned and hoped Wang Yu could save her.
He refused without even thinking.
This behavior, if it's not a trap, is a widespread plea for help, and there's no need to get involved. If it's for the sake of beauty, he's powerless to help.
Let's go.
The group left the Immortal Abode, with Han Fei continuing to lead the way.
Wang Yu first went to the inner workshop of Shixin City, gave each of them twenty spirit stones as a reward for leading the way, and then sent them away.
I searched alone in this inner workshop.
I found a weapon-refining workshop and bought a first-grade high-quality pill furnace that could assist in alchemy, spending two thousand spirit stones.
Then, familiar with the ways of selling stolen goods, he sold off all the loot, including the corpse, at a slightly reduced price, earning 23,000 spirit stones.
Some of the profits are taken by those who buy smuggled goods, but that's not a big deal; we'll just have to give up a little profit.
besides.
Because of its proximity to Spider Mountain, many of the resources produced there are dumped in Heartbreak City.
One type of cultivation elixir, which uses Spider Heart Grass as its main ingredient, is called the [Meditating Heart Pill]. It has not only a first-tier formula but also a second-tier formula.
It's very suitable for cultivators with a cold and yin attribute. It just so happens that the Cold Blood Pill is about to reach its limit, so it would be good to switch to this Dark Heart Pill at that time.
Wang Yu bought two pill formulas, purchased materials, and materials for refining the Rejuvenation Pill...etc., spending just over ten thousand spirit stones.
The main problem is that the second-tier pill formula is a bit expensive, and there are also materials for twenty sets of first-tier Mind Heart Pills, which are the biggest expenses.
After this consumption, he won't need to worry about pills until he breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage. He's already had enough, and he can't digest any more.
With the remaining spirit stones, it would be best to use them to obtain a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. Once his aptitude reaches the level of three spiritual roots, it will help him cross this threshold.
The rest of their family fortune was also well invested in magical artifacts and secret techniques.
"Oh, right, and dragon blood essence."
Almost forgetting the most important thing about coming to Heart-Eroding City, Wang Yu quickly changed direction and soon arrived at the largest shop in the inner district.
——【Jin Manlou】
This is not a local force of Heart-Eating City, but a giant merchant guild active throughout the Crimson Kite Demon Realm, with many Nascent Soul level retainers. Its main family, the Jin family, is said to have top-tier connections in the Taihu Spirit Realm as well.
Correspondingly, there is also fierce competition between the two merchant guilds, [Tianbaoge]. Generally, only one guild is allowed in a city, and two guilds are never allowed to do business in the same city at the same time.
Many years ago, Tantai Chan went to Tianbao City to participate in an auction. Tianbao City is the headquarters of Tianbao Pavilion and one of the most prosperous immortal cities in the Crimson Kite Demon Realm.
The Jinmanlou branch in Shixin City was a mere three-story building, yet it was built in a magnificent and resplendent style, with even the pillars carved from spirit jade and finished with spirit gold.
The glass display case was bright and clear, sparkling with jewels and brimming with spiritual energy, blatantly displaying its wealth to the lower-level cultivators.
The price is also quite expensive.
Believe it or not, the poorer the cultivators at the bottom of the hierarchy, the more they agree with the statement, "There must be a reason why it's so expensive."
Cheap ones are not trustworthy.
As soon as Wang Yu entered, he was greeted by a beautiful female cultivator who generously revealed her white breasts. Under the light, the skin was delicate and smooth, even slightly reflective.
"Distinguished guest, is there anything you wish to choose from at our establishment?"
"The essence of a demon beast, a dragon seed."
"Please follow me." Upon hearing this, the maid's smile became even more genuine. She swayed her graceful waist and led the way, a fragrant breeze wafting through the air, refreshing and delightful.
Wang Yu felt nothing.
Soon, they were led to a cabinet wall on the west side of the first floor. The maid used her spiritual power to retrieve more than a dozen jade bottles and explained clearly:
"This is a recently arrived batch of dragon-type demon beast essence blood, taken from the third-tier demon beast [Azure Sea Dragon Turtle]. Each pot contains 10,000 catties of dragon turtle blood, from which one drop of essence blood can be extracted."
"If it is used by Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment cultivators, blood is enough."
Wang Yu was extremely tempted upon hearing this, but then said helplessly.
"Your esteemed establishment thinks too highly of me. How could I possibly afford a third-tier precious blood?"
