816 The Golden Crow (2/2)
Chen Fan felt the energy of a lot of Immortal Cultivators along the way. Almost one among dozens of people was an Immortal Cultivator, which was a much higher ratio when comparing this with the numbers in the Realm of Kunxu and on Earth, but most of them were Foundation Establishment Cultivators. There were less Ethereal Enlightenment or Divine Sea Cultivators, and not even one Connate Cultivator.
Beams of light swept across the sky from time to time.
Those were Divine Sea Cultivators flying with artifacts or the Masters of some cultivation families using Dharma Artifacts. People on the ground were all jealous.
”If I become a Connate Cultivator someday, I'll run wild in the city. Let's see if those Young Masters would still be so arrogant,” someone said.
”Don't you even think about it! Connate Cultivators are real powerhouses. There are only a few of them other than those in the City Lord Mansion and the cultivation families. They can live a few hundred years. If you want to become one, get in a sect first. Without the guidance of the Immortal Masters, you'll never be able to break through the Ethereal Enlightenment Level even after a century.”
Another person sneered.
Chen Fan pondered next to them.
”Looks like it's very difficult to become a Connate Cultivator even on Planet Tianhuang.”
Chen Fan entered a few shops and found that he needed Spirit Stones no matter what he did. In the Realm of Cultivation, Spirit Stones were money. He only had a few of them left, but this couldn't stop him at all.
He found a magnificent medicine hall with two ten-foot golden crow statues at the entrance.
A pretty lady in a palace gown approached him and said, ”Sir, would you like to buy medicines or make some? The Golden Crow has all kinds of medicines, even superior-grade Spirit Pills. We have alchemists of different levels here…”
She looked gorgeous and was apparently an Ethereal Enlightenment Cultivator. Even though there wasn't any energy leaking from Chen Fan as if he were a mortal, the lady didn't mistreat him.
”I'd like to sell something,” Chen Fan said as he took out a bottle of pills.
The lady was startled.
The Golden Crow was a famous medicine hall around the Beihan Region and it was rare for a mortal to go there to sell medicines. However, she still served Chen Fan tea and told him she was going to find an appraiser.
The appraiser was an old man in an azure shirt and a Divine Sea Cultivator. He was a bit arrogant at first, but his look changed after opening the lid of the bottle. He looked at the medicines twice more and was astonished. ”These are superior-grade Spirit Pills, 'Heavenly Essence Pills,' and you've got ten of them!”
The people in the hall were stunned.
Many of them stared at Chen Fan with a confused look.
One superior-grade Spirit Pill could help people become a Divine Sea Cultivator and only a Connate Cultivator could make one. It would be a treasure even to the Golden Crow, not to mention there were more than one!
”The Heavenly Essence Pills can extend your life for a century, save your life, improve your power and basically anything. They're precious for any Connate Cultivator, especially if they're milky white in color which are the best of the best. Apparently, they came from an Elixir-brewing Master. The thing that's so special about them is that they don't have any side effects, so taking the pills won't affect your future cultivation. Where did you get them?” the old man said excitedly.
Everyone present was just as stunned. Superior-grade Spirit Pills were already precious, let alone those made by a Master which had no side effects. This was like a dream for many cultivation families.
One Spirit Pill could spare a cultivator dozens of years of cultivation and make him break through to the Divine Sea Level, to later become a superior figure in the city. Such Spirit Pills were really difficult to find.
Many people started to look at Chen Fan with greed.
A man's wealth was also his ruin!
Even Connate Cultivators would want to snatch such a treasure, let alone ordinary people.
A Young Master immediately offered a price and took out ten thousand Spirit Stones, trying to buy the pills. The old man suddenly felt like it wasn't right, so he asked Chen Fan to follow him into a room and apologized to him. He said the Golden Crow would protect Chen Fan, but Chen Fan didn't mind at all. He smiled and said, ”I made them.”
”What?”
The senior officers of the Golden Crow who had just arrived were shocked.
Only someone who was at least a Connate Cultivator could make superior-grade Spirit Pills; normal Immortal Cultivators could never achieve this. To be called an Elixir-brewing Master was to become the Overlord among Connate Cultivators.
Chen Fan looked like eighteen and had no trace of power at all, and yet he was a Connate Cultivator?
”You're a Connate Cultivator. I'm sorry. Please forgive me, Exalted Immortal.”
The old man sized Chen Fan up and became more terrified. He felt that Chen Fan was completely unpredictable and he knelt down in the end.
”Exalted Immortal, superior-grade Spirit Pills are expensive. They cost at least three thousand Spirit Stones. Your Heavenly Essence Pills are even stronger. They're the best of the best and ten of them together are worth a hundred thousand Spirit Stones. The Golden Crow… doesn't have so many of them right now!”
The old man smiled wryly.
A hundred thousand Spirit Stones were enough to buy a Treasure Medicine and could help a Divine Sea Cultivator reach the Connate Level.
”Fine.”
Chen Fan stored away the pills and was about to leave.
Zhuyan City was large and there were a few medicine halls like the Golden Crow. He could directly sell the pills to the Chamber of Commerce. They were rich and a hundred thousand shouldn't be a problem for them.
”Wait…”
The old man said, ”The Golden Crow is going to hold an auction three days later. By then, the cultivation families in Zhuyan City and even those from the other cities will send representatives here. There will be Connate Overlords as well. If you can wait for three days, you can put your pills up for auction and set the price even higher. Besides, there will be a few other treasures which might be useful for you.”
”Three days later?” Chen Fan mumbled.
