NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 191.1
“What are you doing standing still? Why don’t you get it quickly?” Seeing that he wasn’t moving, the cultivator shouted again.
“There are a total of one hundred and eighty kinds of Xuan-level medicinal pills in our store. Thirty-five of them are rare Xuan-level medicinal pills. Each one cost two thousand spiritual stones. The others are priced as top-grade ones, totalling one hundred thousand spiritual stones. This customer is going to buy them. Should you pay with middle-grade spiritual stones or high-grade ones?” Li Tianyan pulled Cheng Qi behind him and looked at the core formation cultivator with a smile.
“What? Are you afraid that I can’t afford it?” said the core formation cultivator, clenching his fists.
The cultivator who came was tall and strong, with a fierce look on his face. He was already overpowering when standing in front of the two of them. In addition, he had a core formation cultivation level. If it had been anyone else, they would have been so frightened that they wouldn’t have dared to say anything.
Li Tianyan nodded calmly. “You understood correctly, that’s what I meant.”
“Isn’t this Lao Hei, the thug from Changguang Casino? Why is he here?”
“Shen Laizi has been hanging out in that gambling house, he probably did it again.”
“This Shen Laizi hasn’t given up yet. He even invited the core formation thugs. These people are backed by gambling houses. If they cause trouble, you just have to hand over some spirit stones. Both of them in the alchemy shop only have foundation-establishment cultivation. It’ll be okay.”
After the core formation cultivator came in, several more customers arrived, wanting to buy medicinal pills. However, seeing the tense atmosphere in the store, they all blocked the door and didn’t dare to go in. The nearby merchants noticed there was something going on in the shop and all paid attention to what was happening inside.
Hearing Li Tianyan’s words, the coercion from the core formation cultivator leaked out, and he said to the two of them, “Assholes, you run a shabby shop, and you want the spirit stones before I give you anything? Today, I’ll teach you how to behave.”
Cheng Qi poked his head out from behind Li Tianyan, rubbed his nose, and muttered, “This Shen Laizi has no new ideas at all. He just wants to use force when he can’t win.”
He thought the guy could come up with some new tricks, but only half a month later, he still wanted to get the spirit stones, which was really boring.
“There’s nothing you can do about it; you can’t have too high demands on others.” Li Tianyan rubbed Cheng Qi’s stretched-out head and smiled. Hiring a core formation thug wasn’t cheap, and Shen Laizi really spent a lot of money this time.
“You two are better be dead.”
Seeing that these two people dared to ignore him, Lao Hei’s anger surged. He raised his fist and was about to attack, but his shoulder was suddenly held down by a hand.
“Hey, how about I teach you how to be a ghost?”
As these ghastly words entered the consciousness of the core formation cultivator, a chill suddenly shot up from the soles of his feet, and all the true spiritual energy in his body seemed to freeze, unable to move.
“Who are you? Dare to interfere with my affairs?” Realizing that the person behind him also had the aura of core formation, but was much stronger than him, Lao Hei shouted inwardly.
Seeing those two people pretending to be weak and innocent, Tan Eyu couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “These two cute little foundation establishments are covering up for me, do you understand?”
“Sir, there is actually a core formation ghost beside them. These two people are really not simple,” Zhao Yu followed Zhao Shubao to Dongling Street and couldn’t help but be a little surprised when he saw the scene in the medicinal pill shop from a distance.
It was not easy to cultivate for a ghost, and it was rare to see a ghost that could cultivate into a core formation ghost. Moreover, this ghost was very solid and even gave him a dangerous feeling, which was different from what he had seen before.
“Let’s go in,” Zhao Shubao said and walked toward the alchemy store.
As he approached the alchemy store, he saw a plaque hanging at the door that read “Alchemy Store.” Zhao Shubao laughed inwardly. The name of this store was really careless.
“Isn’t this Young Master Zhao?” Among the cultivators gathered near the alchemy store, someone recognized Zhao Shubao and couldn’t help but ask with surprise.
“He is really President Zhao’s son, but he looks a lot thinner. I almost didn’t recognize him.”
“What do you think Young Master Zhao is doing here? Could it be that he has some trouble with the two men from the alchemy shop?”
“Is it possible that the Zhao family has targeted the alchemy shop because of its good business?” Some cultivators guessed privately.
“This store only sells low-level medicinal pills. The Zhao family shouldn’t be so stingy.”
“It’s hard to say. I heard two days ago that someone from the Alchemist Guild has noticed this alchemy shop.”
Most alchemists were trained by families or forces, and casual practitioners rarely had the opportunity to learn alchemy.
In the past, if they got any precious spiritual herbs, they could only go to the Alchemist Guild to find someone to refine them into medicinal pills. If there was no other way, the spiritual herbs would probably flow into the hands of apprentices in the guild, and the refined medicinal pills would be of poor quality, and the stone was still spent a lot.
Ever since they opened their medicinal pill shop, some cultivators had asked them to help make medicinal pills. Although the price wasn’t cheap, the two of them made either top-grade or high-quality medicinal pills, so it was still worth it.
But in this way, many apprentices of the Alchemist Guild were taken away from their jobs, and naturally, they were dissatisfied with the alchemy shop.
