CHAPTER 1383: CHAPTER 831_2

Eryao waved his hand, wanting them to hurry up. They hadn’t even completed the first sale, and the current one was dragging on. At this rate, selling even a bit of pills here would take half a day!

He was a bit impatient!

Jiang Tang, however, didn’t show much expression on his face. He used to be a nobody, and selling things in the past required watching others’ moods!

Now, as a highly capable being, although not originally a noble, every time he went out, people misunderstood him to be one.

When others called him, he wasn’t embarrassed!

A thick-skinned person can survive anywhere!

Moreover, with his current cultivation appearing in a cultivation world, others would treat him as an honorable figure!

He just wanted to avoid trouble!

The shopkeeper went out, and the door closed automatically!

"Master, I suggest we don’t buy equipment here. Selling my stuff, though not very important, still feels like a loss!"

Eryao had that smug expression of having gained the upper hand!

Jiang Tang just smiled, thinking a pill priced at ten thousand Supreme Spirit Stones was cheap!

Not knowing the market prices, unaware of the struggles of those at the bottom, Eryao had never lived outside, not knowing how tough it was for cultivators outside with no money or resources!

Jiang Tang had experienced it deeply, hence understood the hardships involved!

Eryao couldn’t comprehend, naturally since he wasn’t human!

Jiang Tang gently told Eryao:

"We’ve sold them at quite a high price. Although what we’re selling is scarce here, high-level elixirs are not Supreme Elixirs,

and their functions are still less. Be content! When you someday improve enough to refine Supreme Elixirs, then you won’t feel you’re selling at a loss!"

Eryao nodded. He hadn’t experienced the hardships of the Mortal Realm. Born right into encountering Yan Weiwei, and then followed Jiang Tang, obtaining many good items in the Primordial Treasure Spirit Field!

Then, the master was a bit foolish. During the time of protecting the master, his own abilities were weak, so they shared hardships during that period!

That period was inside an enclosed space, not the Mortal Realm wandering. Later, when they both became capable enough,

able to protect themselves, with strong abilities and good items in hand, they no longer needed to earn through divine tribulation!

The shopkeeper had to report to the in-charge because the store needed to know that many Spirit Stones are involved. The advanced pill costs thirty thousand Supreme Spirit Stones.

So, he needed to request permission from above.

He knocked on the in-charge’s room door. The in-charge was stationed here to prevent disturbances!

Generally, capable beings in the Mahayana Realm wouldn’t care about money in this store!

Among cultivators in the Soul Sea Stage, he’s not the highest ability holder here, but he can defend against some thieves!

Currently wandering outside, most are below the Soul Sea Stage.

The in-charge seemed to be cultivating inside, but he was aware of the visit by the noble guests today. He didn’t know how big today’s deal with the guests would be?

He wasn’t anxious; he remained here as an invisible manager, leaving the decisions to the shopkeeper. Such cooperation had lasted long!

Saves effort!

"Come in," a voice said from inside, and the door opened automatically. The shopkeeper entered, and the door closed again!

This room actually had two parts: entrance was a small living room, not big but equipped with a table and guest chairs!

It had decoration to greet guests, while inside, there was the in-charge’s resting room, though he lived there!

They could skip meals or have meals delivered!

These shops belonged to dining halls, with chefs preparing nutritious meals.

The in-charge was sitting on a Taishi chair, leisurely sipping tea, missing an arm, which didn’t affect his daily life!

The shopkeeper sat on a small chair and took out a prepared storage bag. Earlier, he picked one of each kind of pill from the thirty, for the in-charge to assess!

"What’s the matter?"

"Senior Manager, our store hosted two noble guests selling many medicinal herbs and pills. The herbs were so numerous that a task was published to the Immortal Sect for counting."

The in-charge already got this information!

The shopkeeper instructed the assistant earlier at the entrance, and the in-charge sensed it.

Due to the grand dealings by the noble guests, people from the Immortal Sect and those buying outside were curious about the guests’ origins!

"Great, you’ve done well. Do you know the origin of these noble guests?"

The shopkeeper felt embarrassed, having tried to ask the guests’ origins but was skillfully evaded!

He got so excited, forgetting the topic shift, being only focused on the pills.

"Senior Manager, the noble guests weren’t willing to share their origins. While waiting, I tried to learn if they had better, more advanced pills to sell and asked casually.

Hehe, you know I’ve been waiting for higher-grade ability; I wondered if they had better pills?"

Senior Manager glanced at him: "Did you get your wish? Are there so many advanced pills you can’t handle them?"

"Hehe, you understand me, Senior Manager! You wouldn’t believe it; we’re lucky! The advanced pills on offer are for both my use and yours!"

The reference was clear; the in-charge had lost an arm, cut off by someone, and even though he retrieved it, it couldn’t be fixed, leaving him as a one-arm official!

If not for the missing arm, he wouldn’t be stationed here, perhaps awaiting a chance to be whole again. Who desires impairment?

Being in the Nascent Soul Stage, he served as a shopkeeper, seeking to improve cultivation!

"You mean, the noble guests’ pills are usable for me?"

Senior Manager’s voice had some excitement yet disbelief!

He’d sought many physicians in the cultivation world, hoping for a real arm transplant, but those given were fake, merely extensions acting as arms!

He didn’t see it as right, believing the day would come when his genuine arm could be reattached!

Such a person might be a divine physician!

Yet he hadn’t found one!

After the injury, he predicted fortune, suggesting a chance somewhere on the Immortal Sect’s street, albeit unclear when this would happen.

Thus, he accepted an Immortal Sect task, stationed here loosely managing a ward, guarding this shop’s security!

The street was full of Immortal Sect shops, mostly protected by law enforcers!

With recent crowd influxes, patrols were intensified.

And so, he didn’t cultivate, but leisurely enjoyed tea in the room!

The shopkeeper nodded, reluctantly pulling out three jade vials from a storage bag!

He proceeded to introduce each vial!

The senior manager first held the Nourishing Soul Pill, opened the vial, inhaled the soul-nurturing qi within.

Joy surfaced as he inspected the quality. These high-level elixirs greatly surpassed others, rich in spiritual energy!

Opening the vial, inhaling the pill’s scent, he felt his soul solidifying.

"Wonderful medicine!"

Then quickly opened another vial.

The shopkeeper introduced a Vitality Pill, pondering its functions!

The manager felt vitality surging towards him!

His hand trembled!

Lastly, he opened the final vial, hearing it was a Recovery Pill, learning his arm had hope!
