Battle Through the Heavens: Marry Cao Ying, Reward is Devouring Ancestral Symbol

Dan Exchange Gathering, Special Medicinal HerbsThis second floor was not particularly luxurious; it was mainly the faint medicinal fragrance that elevated the place’s quality by several levels.

In the hall on this second floor, there were some Crystal Cabinets, which held Jade Boxes. Within the Jade Boxes, faint glimmers of light faintly shone, indicating at a glance that they were not ordinary objects.

Inside the hall, there were quite a few scattered figures. Judging by their attire.

Almost all of them were Alchemists.

Just then, a woman wearing a red Palace Robe appeared.

The woman was quite beautiful, and her curvaceous body, wrapped in the Palace Robe, was fully displayed, exuding the captivating charm unique to a mature woman.

The woman’s actions immediately surprised the people already in the hall. Who was important enough to warrant such haste from the Thousand Medicine Workshop Mistress?

”This one, Yao Ling, greets the distinguished guests.”

Yao Ling glanced at Shen Wen and the several stunning beauties surrounding him. Although she was extremely confident in her appearance and had even Cultivated some Charm Arts.

But compared to these beauties, she was simply the difference between an ordinary duck and a swan.

As expected of a Sixth-Rank Alchemist.

Shen Wen glanced at Yao Ling and sensed a trace of special Soul Power.

It seemed this woman had also Cultivated Charm Arts, but they were too weak.

”May I ask the distinguished guest’s name? What may we assist you with?” Yao Ling asked.

”Just call me Kunpeng. I’m here to look for some Medicinal Materials.”

Shen Wen handed Yao Ling a slip of paper listing the names of four other rare Medicinal Materials.

Yao Ling took it with both hands, quickly scanned the names of the medicines on the paper, and slightly furrowed her brows, showing a troubled expression.

She carefully began, ”Distinguished Guest, the four Medicinal Materials on your list are all rare and hard-to-find Treasures.

Please allow me to check the workshop’s inventory first to see how much we can gather.

If we don’t have them, I can help you inquire at the upcoming Pill Exchange Assembly to see if other guests might have them in stock.”

She paused, then changed the subject: ”However, regarding the price...”

Shen Wen nodded decisively before she could finish speaking.

”Price is not an issue. For one set of these four Medicinal Materials, I can offer one Dou Ling Pill in exchange. However many you have, I will take them all.”

Saying this, he casually tossed out an exquisite Jade Bottle, his actions understated.

It was as if he weren’t throwing a Sixth-Rank Medicinal Pill that could drive countless Dou King experts mad, but just an ordinary candy.

The Jade Bottle traced an arc and landed steadily in Yao Ling’s hand.

Elder Yan, standing behind Yao Ling, couldn’t help but step forward, carefully taking the Jade Bottle from the Mistress’s hand.

He pulled out the stopper, lightly sniffed it under his nose, and then poured out the Medicinal Pill to examine it closely.

An expression of astonishment instantly appeared on his wrinkled face, and his voice carried a hint of excitement:

”Mistress, the quality of this... this Dou Ling Pill is truly the finest this old man has ever seen! The medicinal potency is pure, the Pill Lines are clear, it is absolutely High Grade among High Grade!”

Hearing this, a trace of pleasant surprise flashed in Yao Ling’s eyes, and she personally went to the Storeroom to verify.

Although these Medicinal Materials were expensive, the price of one Dou Ling Pill was considerably higher than the total price of these Medicinal Materials.

Shen Wen, meanwhile, was pondering that the core of the Heavenly Soul Melting Blood Pill actually lay in the Essence Blood of a Rank Seven Demonic Beast, but more importantly, in its Bloodline potential.

’It seems I need to find a way to go to Jia Nan Academy. If I use Zi Yan’s Bloodline as the core Materials, I should be able to raise it to Rank Eight.’

Shen Wen nodded to Yao Ling, said nothing more, and turned around to casually wander around the second floor of the Thousand Medicine Workshop.

Elder Yan, the Fifth-Rank Alchemist, now respectfully followed half a step behind Shen Wen, his face showing obvious restraint and eagerness to please.

In the profession of Alchemist, age and seniority are never discussed; only the level of Alchemy Technique matters.

Facing a Great Master who was at least Rank Six, his level of Cultivation could only be considered that of a Junior.

”Master Kun Peng,” Elder Yan said with a smile, actively seeking a topic, ”Our Thousand Medicine Workshop is currently holding a Pill Exchange Assembly, where many rare Medicinal Materials that are usually hard to see will appear.”

He paused, observing Shen Wen’s expression, and cautiously suggested: ”If Great Master is interested, why not take a look?

If you fancy anything, our Thousand Medicine Workshop will certainly bid for it on your behalf, considering it a small token of our regard.”

Shen Wen’s gaze swept over the Medicinal Materials in the nearby Crystal Cabinet, and he gently shook his head.

”There’s no need to go to such expense.”

His tone was calm.

Elder Yan quickly responded, ”Yes, yes, the Great Master is right.”

Just then, Mistress Yao hurried back, her cheeks slightly flushed from walking quickly.

She held a storage ring in both hands and presented it to Shen Wen.

”Great Master, we only managed to gather two sets of the Medicinal Materials you requested from the Storeroom. They are all inside this. Please take a look.”

Shen Wen’s Soul Power swept over it, confirming that the type and age of the Medicinal Materials in the storage ring all met the requirements.

He nodded in satisfaction and handed the other Jade Bottle containing the Dou Ling Pill to Yao Ling.

”This is the remaining payment.”

Yao Ling took it with both hands, feeling the warm, smooth touch of the Jade Bottle, and a great weight lifted from her heart.

Shen Wen put away the storage ring and continued, ”That Pill Exchange Assembly you mentioned earlier.

I happen to have time now, so let’s go take a look and see if there’s anything else I need.”

Hearing this, a fervent smile instantly blossomed on Yao Ling’s face, and her tone became slightly more hurried than before.

”It is a tremendous honor for our Thousand Medicine Workshop that the Great Master is willing to grace us with his presence! Please follow me, I will personally lead the way for you!”

Compared to her previous composed reception, Yao Ling’s nervousness and excitement were obvious now.

If the news that a Sixth-Rank Alchemist personally attended their Pill Exchange Assembly spread, the Thousand Medicine Workshop’s reputation in the Black-Corner Region would surely rise another level!

Soon, the group was led to a more spacious hall. A long table was placed in the center.

Dozens of opened Jade Boxes were displayed on it, containing various Medicinal Materials.

Quite a few Alchemists were already gathered around the table, conversing in low voices and carefully identifying the Medicinal Materials that interested them.

Yao Ling personally led Shen Wen to a front-row seat.

Shen Wen’s gaze swept over the Medicinal Materials on the long table that emitted various medicinal fragrances. Initially, he showed some scrutiny, but that interest quickly faded.

Most of these Medicinal Materials were only Rank Four quality.

Perhaps they were rare treasures for the other Alchemists present, but for him, they were truly unremarkable.

He shook his head slightly and softly asked Cao Ying, Xiao Yi Xian, and Dan Chen beside him, ”Is there anything you want?”

”This, the Poison Vine Fruit, and also this Spirit Blood Ganoderma...” Xiao Yi Xian didn’t stand on ceremony and selected two or three types of Medicinal Materials.

Shen Wen nodded, using a bottle of Rank Three Medicinal Pill, the Resurrection Pill, for the exchange. Trading Rank Four Medicinal Materials with Rank Three Medicinal Pills was sufficient.

”Is there anything else?”

Shen Wen looked at Yao Ling.

Yao Ling quickly opened the remaining Jade Boxes. Soon, Shen Wen’s sight landed on one of the Jade Boxes, and he pointed to it, asking, ”What is inside here?”

He actually sensed a special aura emanating from it, one that could nourish Soul Power.
