Chapter 203 – Tong Cheng Region (2/2)

Dan pellets were an essential; and it would obviously be very sensible to find some good defense equipment since it would help in increasing the chances of survival.

With this thought in their minds, the six of them entered the Tao Bao Complex.

The Tao Bao complex had a reputation of having everything in its inventory; even spirit weapons…

Wang Zhong was particularly excited since it was his first time inside this Tao Bao complex.

“The Heavenly Dragon Business group is indeed very influential! They’ve even managed to open a Tao Bao complex inside the Jiu Yu City.” Wang Zhong seemed pleasantly surprised.

Wang Zhong had visited several cities in the past, and almost each one of them had their own Tao Bao complex.

However, since Wang Zhong never really had the money to any buy items there, he would normally just roam around the complex rather than purchasing anything.

“Everyone must buy the necessary items, and if you need any money… just find me and we can settle our accounts later.” Bi Fan offered.

Wang Zhong and Blue Dragon were well aware that Bi Fan had earned a lot of money during their time in the Devil’s Abyss, and were unlikely to hesitate from asking for a loan.

In fact, they too had made a lot of money for themselves, and hence it was unlikely that they would need his support.

Of course, these men were unlikely to go around purchasing any defense equipment or weapons since they already owned better ones than the items which were available on the first floor of the complex.

They decided to prepare according to their own needs, and set out in different directions to do the same.

This obviously wasn’t the first expedition for any of them, so they obviously knew what they needed.

Bi Fan’s first thought was to buy some needles since he’d need them to use the ‘Soul Illusion Injection’, which could come in handy later on.

Initially Bi Fan had no intention of practicing this method, but his study revealed that this method could delude the target, which would effectively increase ‘The Immortal Finger’s’ effect.

‘The Immortal Finger’ was quite difficult to guard against as it is, but when coupled with a law which could send target’s mind into fantasy, the effect and accuracy of ‘The Immortal Finger’ would stand to redouble.

Bi Fan intended on buying an extra set of needles since he would first have to experiment the skill for a clearer understanding.

Therefore, Bi Fan made his way towards the ‘Concealed Weapons’ section, and was left shell-shocked.

A myriad of weapons were on display at the counters….. death nails, rotary blades, blood needles, peer needles, tiger hair needles, bee tail needles, throwing knifes……

Bi Fan had never even seen so many types of concealed weapons before.

Concealed weaponry wasn’t a very commonly practiced form of martial arts in this world, which is why Bi Fan had never actually seen anyone demonstrating it. Hence, Bi Fan was under the impression that it might be quite difficult to procure the necessary items.

He had never really expected that the Tao Bao complex would contain such a wide variety of concealed weaponry.

Since he obviously didn’t know much about this form of martial arts, he didn’t rush to the shelves.

Instead, he first made his way towards the steward in order to make enquiries about the suitable type of needles for his practice.

“There are a total of eighteen types of needles…. All of them are available here with us. Which one does this young man need?”

He would naturally need to test each one out before he’d be able to tell their pros and cons.

“Give me two boxes of each type.” Bi Fan stated.

“Two boxes of all the eighteen types?” the steward was somewhat taken aback.

“Yes. Don’t worry about the money.” Bi Fan reassured.

The man went about arranging Bi Fan’s order without another word.

Owing to his previous traumatic experiences with injuries, Bi Fan had learnt that Dan pellets were extremely important. The Tao Bao complex had a special zone for the sale of Dan pellets, but Bi Fan wasn’t expecting to bump into Jing Feng there. Soon the others also joined in, and the six youngsters found themselves standing in the same place once again.

Wang Zhong advised: “We must buy good quality healing Dan, detoxification Dan, and purifiers to be ready for anything.”

The Tao Bao complex’s reputation was for a reason; the complex had a wider range of selection available for sale than any other place in the region. They had every variation of every healing Dan, detoxification Dan and purifier pellet.

[Purifiers are a preventive measure against poisonous atmosphere; Bi Fan had bought Sunset Jade purifier before entering the Devil’s territory.]

They all bought a few pellets of Yellow Springs Purifier pellets, amongst other types of Dan; owing to Bi Fan’s deep pockets, the price of these pellets didn’t hinder them from buying only the best ones.

They spent almost half a day buying the necessary items, and then the other half window-shopping, post which the returned to their hotel to get some much needed rest.
