Shopkeeper Zhou soon returned, dragging an elderly man with a white beard into the Trade House. As they hurried over, the white-bearded man was still complaining about his sore bones.

“Xiaozhou, take it easy! What’s so urgent that we can’t wait to discuss this until tomorrow? You’re gonna break these old bones of mine.”

Shopkeeper Zhou did not answer him. Instead, he pulled the older man into the store and pushed him toward the counter, albeit with a little too much agitation. “Sir, please, appraise these pills. What grade are they?”

The old man was about to blow his cool. He had bumped his lower back, and it was hurting. However, the moment he laid his eyes on the pile of Spirit Boosting Pills—round and shiny with intermittent whiffs of faint fragrance—his eyes instantly widened in utter disbelief. He forgot about his anger, the pain in his lower back, and even to breathe. All he could do was stare intently at the pills.

“Spirit Boosting Pills! An entire lot of a few dozen. Even if we have to give up our fortune, we have to buy them all! This concerns the potential rise of the Ruyi Trade House.”

Shopkeeper Zhou was beyond thrilled, but the old man was unable to spare any attention for him. He stared intently at the pills, pearly white and roundish, and said, “Fifteen Ultimate Grade Spirit Boosting Pills with an 85% fusion rate, 5 Supreme Grade pills with a 90% fusion rate, and 20 pills with fusion rates between 60% and 70%.”

The old man almost felt his breath halt the moment he finished counting the pills. Every pill was genuine. Even the Tianhai Trade House could not sell this many Spirit Boosting Pills in a single year.

“We’re buying. We are definitely buying. Let alone breaking the bank…we have to buy all of them, even if it means breaking our bones!” The old man slapped his thigh in wild enthusiasm. By hook or by crook, they must acquire them all.

Feng Tianlan raised her eyebrow at the duo’s incomprehensible excitement. She thought: It’s just a handful of Spirit Boosting Pills. They’re exaggerating.

“About that…” the old man looked up and was taken aback by Feng Tianlan’s peculiar outfit. However, he quickly snapped out of it and asked respectfully, “Little Mister, do you intend to sell all of these?”
