20 Chapter 20 (1/2)
The first thing that Clark did was look unto the open sky. It was different from where he came from a moment before because a full moon was now mirrored directly at his eyes.
He had picked a place that was on the other side of the world as night time always invited the shadiest dealings of the trade. Or at least Clark believed it to be so.
After a moment of appreciating the bizarre change of his surroundings, Clark then went out from the shadowed corners he teleported unto.
The city at this late hour was still buzzing with people and the wide streets accommodated both pedestrians and travelers alike in this peaceful eve.
A middle aged handsome man joined the excited masses while the night was illuminated fully by the numerous lanterns around them.
'What a prosperous place this is!' Clark commented while enjoying the festive mood of everyone.
It was pretty contagious and so he would often smile here and there in admiration to something he has only experienced as Lu Chen.
After three minutes of slow walk, Clark found himself standing before a huge majestic pavilion.
He was not alone in his task because there were many such guests like him who frequented this establishment even at this late in the evening.
”What time is it in this part of the world, Nancy?” Clark asked.
”About thirty minutes to midnight, host.”
'Hmmm... There must be a celebration of something.' Clark mused and ended his curiosity on the matter right there.
He had more important things to settle and he was only too eager to complete the quest tonight.
”Good evening, dear guest. Do you want to purchase some alchemy pills and magical tools?” a beautiful girl asked after she was approached by our good protagonist.
Most women in this world possessed a beauty that was randomly seen even in the previous world of Clark.
Perhaps it was because of the over abundance of world essence that resulted in such but Clark never gave it much thought afterwards.
As long as he was always surrounded by lovely fairies and luscious young girls that he could only see in hentai movies before, this fact alone was more than enough to satisfy him.
Any little tidbits of truths other than this was truly irrelevant to the current emotions of delight that Clark felt.
”Call your master. I bring big business in tonight's auspicious event.” Clark said in a serious tone. He looked like a middle aged man after all and so he decided that it was best for him to sound the part also.
”...” the precious girl gazed at Clark from head to toe as if sizing up if Clark was real or not. Few breaths elapsed and the good girl finally came up with a decision.
”Wait a moment, dear guest. I will see if Grand Master Gao is not busy at the moment.”
”Please come with me.”
”Hmmm...Very well.” Clark nodded in understanding. The young girl smiled and gracefully led Clark deeper unto the busy halls.
There were pills in display and a short note beneath them that described well enough of what their effects were. Clark's attention was caught by a few significant products on the side.
”Qi Recovery Pill, Instantly recovers lost spiritual energy.”
”Battle Frenzy Pill, Forcefully breaks into 3 stages on the same Cultivation Realm but with adverse effects depending on the user's luck. Death is certainly probable.”
”Aphrodisiac Pill, a sweet couple's healthy drug or a last resort for a bitter heart. The Liquid Poison Sect is not liable to whatever actions our customers do with our products!”
The last one brought tons of amusement towards Clark.
He saw the long line of people that wished to get their hands on the 3rd pill and realized that no matter what world he was in, whether it be the prior or this one, sex products would never run out of patrons.
On the other side was of course the mystical powerful tools that cultivators usually use. There were flying swords, sharp enchanted daggers and many more.
'Too expensive!' Clark shook his head after he saw the prices of these items.
Each one was not sold with gold coins and such mortal equivalents but only with the priceless spirit stones that was ever the constant currency in this xianxia world.
