The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

19: Chapter 19 Shopping Spree”Senior, this is a Medium Grade Marrow Cleansing Pill. It is currently the most suitable Medicinal Pill in the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower for those in the Qi Refinement Stage. Each pill costs 1,200 Low-Grade Spirit Stones. A bottle contains ten pills, so a full bottle is 12,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones. This is the very last bottle we have.”

The Attendant took out a bottle of pills and handed them to Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen took it and glanced inside; it wasn’t bad, though not as good as the rewards from the System.

Every medicine has a trace of toxicity, and Medicinal Pills are no exception. For long-term consumption, one must consider the accumulation of pill toxins. Unlike the pills rewarded by the System, top-tier pills have no toxins, so there’s no need to worry about that issue.

Unfortunately, the System didn’t allow for exchanges, and relying on daily sign-ins was far from enough for an entire Family.

”I’ll take this bottle. Do you have anything else?”

Jiang Chen continued, holding the pills.

”We’re out of those pills, but we still have a Vermilion Fruit. Would you like to take a look?”

As the Attendant spoke, he brought out a box. Jiang Chen took it and saw a vibrant, blood-red Vermilion Fruit lying quietly inside.

”How much for this Vermilion Fruit?”

Jiang Chen asked directly.

”1,500 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

”Fine, I’ll take it.”

Jiang Chen said without hesitation.

”By the way, do you have any pills that can remove pill toxin accumulation?”

Jiang Chen thought that since pills were toxic, he could just buy some detoxification pills. That way, no time would be wasted.

This was mainly because he had plenty of Spirit Stones. Anyone else wouldn’t even consider the toxin issue; wouldn’t it be better to use those Spirit Stones to buy more Qi Gathering Pills? Pill toxins would eventually dissipate on their own over time.

”We do. This way, please.”

Hearing that Jiang Chen actually wanted to buy pills to remove pill toxins, the Attendant was instantly delighted.

One had to know that over the years, very few people bought this kind of pill, mostly because they were poor. Now, they had quite a stock of these detoxification pills.

”These are all Marrow Purifying Pills. Their medicinal power can penetrate deep into the Meridians and bone marrow, like a clear spring washing away filth, slowly expelling long-accumulated pill toxins and medicinal residues from the body.”

Jiang Chen looked and saw over twenty bottles. Compared to other pills, this was considered a very large amount.

”How much?”

Jiang Chen asked.

”Marrow Purifying Pills are 1,800 Low-Grade Spirit Stones per bottle, with ten pills per bottle.”

”I’ll take them all.”

”Okay... what? Senior, you want them all?”

The Attendant asked, somewhat dumbfounded. Was this Senior actually this wealthy?

”Yes, all of them. Calculate the total Spirit Stones.”

Jiang Chen said indifferently.

”Alright. There are 13 bottles here, totaling 23,400 Low-Grade Spirit Stones. The Marrow Cleansing Pills are 12,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and the Vermilion Fruit is 1,500 Low-Grade Spirit Stones. That’s a total of 36,900 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

The Attendant calculated aloud.

Jiang Chen placed the Spirit Stones directly on the floor, and a small mountain of them suddenly appeared between the two.

Looking at the mountain-like pile of Spirit Stones, the Attendant swallowed hard.

It was his first time seeing so many Spirit Stones. He had hit the jackpot.

Jiang Chen had no choice; he had just realized he didn’t have any more Storage Pouches, which left him feeling a bit helpless.

Once the Attendant finished collecting the Spirit Stones and verifying the count, Jiang Chen spoke again.

”Do you sell Storage Pouches here? I want to buy some.”

Jiang Chen realized that except for a few Elders, the other Clan Members didn’t have Storage Pouches yet. It was mainly because the Jiang Family had been too poor in the past, and ordinary Clan Members simply couldn’t afford them.

”We do. How many do you need?”

The Attendant asked.

”Give me a hundred...”

”Right away.”

The Attendant ran off in a hurry. Seeing him leave so frantically, Jiang Chen was a bit speechless; he hadn’t even finished speaking.

Before long, the Attendant returned, slightly out of breath.

”Senior, there are 120 Storage Pouches here. 20 of them are a gift to you. These Storage Pouches are 500 Low-Grade Spirit Stones each, so you only need to pay 50,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

”Also, get me ten storage rings.”

Jiang Chen said again. Since the Clan Members were getting Storage Pouches, the Elders should have an upgrade too. With him around, the Jiang Family should trade their old gear for the best.

”Um, our Ten Thousand Treasures Tower currently only has three storage rings.”

The Attendant spoke somewhat sheepishly. storage rings were not only more exquisite but also more convenient than Storage Pouches, so they were naturally more expensive.

However, this Tianfeng City was too remote. Ordinary people would never buy a storage ring. These three had been sitting unsold for years.

”Then give me all three.”

Jiang Chen said. It was a good thing this was Tianfeng City; if it were Tianlin City, he might not have been able to buy any storage rings at all.

”Alright, please wait a moment.”

The Attendant left again and soon returned, handing three storage rings to Jiang Chen.

”How many Spirit Stones for these storage rings?”

Jiang Chen asked.

”These two storage rings are 5,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones each and have 50 cubic meters of space. This one is 20,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones and has 100 cubic meters of space. Including the Storage Pouches, that’s a total of 80,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Chen produced another pile of Spirit Stones, which the Attendant promptly collected.

”Senior, the auction is about to begin. How about I take you upstairs to rest for a bit until it starts?”

The Attendant inquired.

”Fine, lead the way.”

The Attendant led the way. It was mainly because Jiang Chen had paid so much; anyone else wouldn’t be allowed into the venue before the auction started.

But when it came to privilege, these were all small matters.

They soon reached the third floor. Jiang Chen looked around and felt that the third floor was actually larger than the second; it turned out a Sumeru Formation was being used to expand the space.

The Attendant didn’t stop, leading Jiang Chen toward the fourth floor. As they passed a maid, the Attendant’s voice rang out.

”Xiao He, go prepare some pastries and bring them to Black Rank Private Room No. 9.”

”Understood.”

The maid named Xiao He responded and hurried away.

The Attendant continued leading Jiang Chen to the fourth floor and entered a private room.

Jiang Chen looked out and saw that the entire third floor was visible. The auction stage at the very front could be seen clearly; this was a truly excellent spot.

However, there was no one below at the moment. Jiang Chen walked to a seat and sat down to wait.

Not long after, the maid named Xiao He brought over some pastries and a pot of tea.

Xiao He arranged the pastries on the table and then poured a cup of tea for Jiang Chen.

”Senior, please wait here for a moment. If you have any needs, you can tell Xiao He directly.”

The Attendant said, pointing to the maid, Xiao He.

”Alright, go attend to your business.”

Seemingly knowing the Attendant had his own work to do, Jiang Chen waved his hand dismissively.

The Attendant left, closing the door behind him. For a moment, only Xiao He and Jiang Chen were left in the private room.

”Your name is Xiao He, right?”

Jiang Chen turned to the maid and asked.

”Yes.”

Xiao He replied.

”How much longer until the auction?”

Jiang Chen asked. It was already close to evening, but he didn’t know exactly how much longer until the auction started.

”Senior, it will take about half an hour. Please rest for a bit, and I will call you when it’s time.”

Xiao He said.

He hadn’t expected it to take another half hour, which left Jiang Chen a bit frustrated. However, sleeping was out of the question; sleeping in front of a woman would be too disrespectful.

Nevertheless, Jiang Chen soon leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest his mind, and time quietly slipped by.
