After bidding farewell, Xiao Yan immediately headed toward the trading market to the north of the Pill Tower. After all, before going into seclusion to attempt refining a high-grade seventh-tier pill, he had to gather some medicinal ingredients first.

Although the Three Leaders of the Pill Tower were willing to help him, he wouldn’t always rely on them for everything. Only when there was something he truly couldn’t accomplish himself would he seek the help of the Three Leaders.

As a mid-grade seventh-tier alchemist, and the young pavilion master of the Falling Star Pavilion, exchanging for some ingredients required to refine high-grade seventh-tier pills wasn’t a problem for him.

But just as Xiao Yan went off in search of the materials he needed, on the other side, Lin Feng also brought Xiao Yixian and Ye Xin Lan with him to the same place.

After all, Ye Zhong had already delivered news that the high elders of the Pill Tower had agreed to let him enter the Little Pill Tower to study.

In a few days, he would be given an assessment. Since his age had already exceeded the requirement, he needed to refine a mid-grade seventh-tier pill or higher on the spot.

As for refining a mid-grade seventh-tier pill, Lin Feng was completely confident. In high spirits, he decided to take the two women to stroll around the Pill Tower’s trading market.

The trading district of the Holy Pill City headquarters was located in the northern region of the Pill Tower. This marketplace was extremely famous across the entire Central Plains.

After all, with the Pill Tower as its backing, and the countless experts and high-level alchemists residing in the inner region of Holy Pill City, the demand for cultivation items and rare materials was immense. Because of this, the quality of items exchanged in this market was astonishingly high.

At the same time, due to the deterrence of the Pill Tower, cases of murder and robbery almost never occurred here. After all, within the Pill Region, there were very few who could escape the Pill Tower’s pursuit!

”The Pill Region Trading Market.”

Standing before a broad street lined with luxurious buildings, Lin Feng gazed at the dragon-and-phoenix-styled calligraphy carved onto the pale blue wooden plaque, and a trace of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

”I wonder if I’ll be able to find what I’m looking for in this trading market.”

Muttering in his heart, Lin Feng took the hands of Xiao Yixian and Ye Xin Lan, leading the two women into the street.

This street, nearly ten zhang wide, was already bustling with people, a constant tide of traffic moving back and forth. Countless figures in alchemist robes and others exuding powerful auras moved through the street.

”Husband, in the outer area of this trading market, most are alchemists below high-grade seventh-tier and Dou Zong experts. While there are occasionally some good things, the chances are quite low. If you want to find the magic core of a Rank 8 magic beast, then it’s better to head for the central area of the trading market. The odds of finding what you want there are much higher.”

As Lin Feng observed the surroundings, Ye Xin Lan tilted her exquisitely beautiful face, carrying a hint of mature charm, and explained to him softly.

Before coming here, Lin Feng had already told her what he was looking for. Since she was familiar with this place, she naturally knew where the chances of finding it would be greater.

”Mn.”

Lin Feng nodded with a smile, then said to the two women, ”It’s still early. Let’s stroll around the outer area first, see if we can get lucky, and then head to the center of the trading market.”

”We’ll do as you say. We don’t really have anything else to do anyway.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yixian replied casually. As for Ye Xin Lan, she naturally had no objections.

Seeing that neither of the two women had any complaints, Lin Feng immediately held their hands and strolled with them around the trading market. His gaze swept repeatedly over the items laid out before the various vendors, hoping to spot something he needed.

In the crowded, bustling street, Lin Feng had already browsed through more than thirty stalls in less than a quarter of an hour.

But to his frustration, although the goods here were indeed of much higher quality than those in other trading places, they still fell far short of moving his heart. Not to mention Lin Feng—even Xiao Yixian also failed to find any poisons that caught her eye.

”These things have long since been strictly filtered by the merchants. And the people who can enter here all have sharp eyes. If husband wants to dig out treasures overlooked by others, that won’t be easy.”

Seeing Lin Feng’s slightly disappointed expression, Ye Xin Lan opened her mouth with a soft explanation.

”All right, let’s just head there then.”

Lin Feng let out a sigh and spoke helplessly. His thought of striking it rich on hidden treasures was completely extinguished at this moment.

Hearing this, Ye Xin Lan covered her mouth with a gentle laugh, then led Lin Feng and Xiao Yixian toward the central area of the trading market.

With someone familiar guiding them, the three quickly arrived before a massive building that covered quite a large area. However, at the entrance of this structure, the flow of people had clearly dropped off a cliff.

Only a few wearing badges of high-grade seventh-tier alchemists, or cultivators who seemed ordinary but radiated an aura that made them unapproachable, were able to pass through the layers of guards at the gate under the envious gazes of those around and enter within.

Lin Feng swept his eyes over the grand and luxurious building, then led the two women forward slowly toward the entrance.

”Honored Guests, only those who have reached the level of a high-grade seventh-tier alchemist, Dou Zun powerhouses, or whose elders are well-known figures recognized by our Pill Tower, are permitted to enter.”

As the three approached, the guards at the entrance, each of them at high-level Dou Zong strength, promptly stepped forward to block them.

Seeing this, Lin Feng reached into his storage ring and drew out the badge of a peak seventh-tier alchemist he had deliberately gone to the Pill Tower headquarters to test for not long ago, gently pressing it to his chest.

As for Xiao Yixian, she was even more straightforward—directly releasing a terrifying pressure that crashed onto the guards. The guards, sensing the situation, immediately stepped aside.

As for Ye Xin Lan, since she was accompanied by Lin Feng and Xiao Yixian, the guards said nothing more.

Beyond the grand doors stretched a wide, cool corridor.

The three followed it inward, and soon an extremely vast hall appeared before their eyes. The entire floor was paved with pale blue warm jade, spreading throughout the whole building.

The instant their feet stepped on it, a faint refreshing chill flowed up through the soles of their feet, making their whole bodies feel exceptionally comfortable.

Within the wide hall stood countless neatly arranged jade platforms. Behind those platforms sat figures who appeared to be stall owners, cross-legged.

Most of them looked lazy and indifferent.

Even when potential customers lingered before their stalls, they couldn’t be bothered to say a single word of greeting. They didn’t look like they were here to do business at all.
