The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 832: Chapter 832: Visit the Pill Shop

Inside the Radiant Pill Store!

Jing Yan looked at the various elixirs displayed and nodded slightly.

He had his reasons for purchasing this shop. The shop was small, somewhat remote, and thus easier to acquire.

If he had tried to buy a shop in a better location and larger in size, the purchase process could have been much more troublesome and might not have been successful in a short period of time.

Moreover, Jing Yan did not plan to stay in Rainbow Gown Divine City for too long, so when he left, he would simply abandon the shop. Spending too many resources wouldn’t be appropriate.

”Just wait for the customers to come!” Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Given the quality of the elixirs in the pill shop, Jing Yan was confident that it would not take long for the Radiant Pill Store to become well-known. By then, he would naturally be able to gather a large amount of rare spiritual grass materials.

The precious spiritual grass materials from the Despair Abyss were incomparable to those on the Heavenly Origin Continent. Now that Jing Yan was a martial artist of the Saint Realm, ordinary resources barely aided his cultivation. He planned to try to refine various basic Divine Pills, not limiting himself to the Heavenly Repairing Pill.

Even the basic Divine Pills required a significant amount of rare ninth-grade spiritual grass. If Jing Yan had to find them alone, how much time would it consume? The efficiency would be too low.

Setting up a pill shop was indeed a shortcut for gathering materials.

Furthermore, through this method, it was convenient to meet many people and to gather information about the Bai Xue City Lord.

”Eh? Where’s the weapon shop?”

”Why did it suddenly turn into a pill shop? Did the weapon shop close?”

”A pill shop here? Could it be a scam?”

”Most likely a scammer, we better not enter, let’s go!”

Previously, martial artists occasionally passed by the Radiant Pill Store, but no one entered.

Most of these martial artists had aimed for the former weapon shop to buy weapons. With the weapon shop gone and replaced by a pill shop, they lost interest.

It indeed made people skeptical to open a pill shop in such a remote location, making it hard to believe that there would be genuine goods. In Rainbow Gown Divine City, there were many places that sold elixirs, but those shops were very grand. Only forces with strong backing could operate the elixirs business.

Which of those major forces would open such a humble, unappealing pill shop?

Days passed, and not a single person entered the Radiant Pill Store to buy elixirs. The martial artists would at most pause in front of the store for a moment before leaving.

Zhenxian Building!

”Cheers!”

”Haha, today, the treat is on me again, brothers! Eat and drink to your heart’s content!”

”...”

Inside a private room in Zhenxian Building, the atmosphere was boisterous, with over ten martial artists all in high spirits.

”Brother Lie, have you come into a fortune recently?” one of them asked.

The host was none other than the person referred to as Brother Lie, the middle-aged man who had sold the weapon shop to Jing Yan. With ten million Spirit Stones in hand, Brother Lie had been treating them to meals and drinks for several days at Zhenxian Building—certainly not a place ordinary people could afford. A single meal here could cost tens of thousands of Spirit Stones. Typically, even a Daoist Master Realm martial artist could only afford to eat here occasionally, certainly not regularly—it was too expensive!

”Yes, I also find it strange. Brother Lie is certainly generous, but in the last few days, we’ve spent at least one or two hundred thousand Spirit Stones on food and drinks, right?”

”Right, Brother Lie, doesn’t your weapons shop need looking after? You’ve been here these past few days; who’s taking care of your shop? Your assistant has also been here every day. Hasn’t your weapons shop been open for business these last few days?”

Brother Lie’s friends, almost all of them Daoist Master Realm martial artists, were also very curious once this was brought up.

Brother Lie turned his gaze to the others.

”Haha!”

”You actually guessed right, I have indeed come into a fortune recently. I’m not worried about the weapons shop anymore. After some time, I’ll buy another shop in a good location and start over,” Brother Lie said with a big laugh.

”Oh?” Everyone was slightly taken aback.

”Brother Lie, did you sell your previous shop?” someone quickly caught the key point and asked immediately.

”Correct, I sold that shop a few days ago,” Brother Lie nodded.

”Really sold it?”

”Brother Lie, that was your shop for twenty years! As far as I know, it had many regular customers. You sold it just like that?”

Though the shop was small, having a number of loyal customers meant it could indeed bring in a good amount of Spirit Stones—just from the shop alone, hundreds of thousands could be made each year. Selling the shop suddenly seemed rather regrettable to everyone.

”You know what?”

”Guess how much I sold the shop for!” Brother Lie squinted, took another sip of his drink, and then looked around at everyone with a smile.

”Based on the market price, it should be worth between two and three million Spirit Stones. If we include the weapons in your shop, then it could be worth over six million Spirit Stones,” said a martial artist in white after calculating.

”Haha, all the weapons in the shop, I took with me. What was sold was just an empty shop,” Brother Lie said laughingly, waving his hand.

”Brother Lie, it seems like you sold your shop for a high price. Without the weapons, did you manage to get three million Spirit Stones for just the shop?”

Just the shop—if it could fetch three million Spirit Stones, it would indeed be a very profitable deal. If that was true, it made sense why Brother Lie was happy to treat them. The lavish meals they’d had over the past several days had only cost a little more than a hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

”Wrong guess! You’d never imagine this price.”

”I won’t tease you any longer; I’ll just tell you straight away! Hehe, I sold the shop for a whopping ten million Spirit Stones in cash!” The look of triumph was plain to see on Brother Lie’s face.

”What?”

”That’s impossible!”

”Ten million Spirit Stones, Brother Lie, you mustn’t fool us!” The others all shook their heads.

”Fooling you? I’m not lying; it was indeed ten million Spirit Stones, all in one transaction. Those ten million Spirit Stones are right here with me!” Brother Lie spoke earnestly.

Seeing that Brother Lie did not appear to be joking, each one of them widened their eyes. While they found it hard to believe, they knew it had to be true. Brother Lie had really struck it rich.

”A pill shop? That person bought your shop to set up a pill shop?”

”This...”

”He casually pulled out a spiritual artifact? A spiritual artifact requires at least several tens of millions of Spirit Stones! Could he be a member of some major force?”

”The pill shop! Brother Lie, let’s go have a look and see what kind of elixirs are being sold inside this person’s pill shop!” someone suggested going to the Radiant Pill Store.
