After resting for a day, Mo Wuji left for Luo Hai Merchant House the next day.
There was still a month before the Spring Immortal's Gate Conference, so Mo Wuji decided to take a look at the cultivation technique that he had been looking forward to. It didn't matter if he couldn't afford it, he could just go in and take a look.
As for concocting the channel opening solution, Mo Wuji was not in a hurry. The main reason was that even if he did concoct the channel opening solution, there was no lightning to refine his meridians, so he would not be able to open them.
...
Compared to the majestic Tian Luo Restaurant, Luo Hai Merchant House looked more simple and unadorned. Two stone sculptures of unknown beasts were placed on both sides of the entrance of Luo Hai Merchant House, looking rather intimidating.
There were many people going in and out of the spacious entrance. After Mo Wuji followed the crowd through the entrance, he could smell a strong medicinal fragrance.
The hall on the first floor was filled with all sorts of pills. These pills were neatly arranged in clean, transparent glass cabinets. The names, effects and grades of the various pills were all labelled out. Some of the pills even had the pill refiner and the main spiritual herbs used.
Mo Wuji had visited the various medicine stalls in Rao Zhou, but he realised that compared to the pills here, the pills in the medicine stalls in Rao Zhou could only be called pills.
At every counter, there was a shop assistant waiting. As long as the customer did not ask for a price, they would just stand there without moving. Once the customer showed a slight request, they would immediately come forward to introduce and recommend to the customer.
This made Mo Wuji very impressed. He hated entering a shopping mall, and before he could even show what he wanted to buy, the shop assistant would come up to him with all sorts of questions, not giving him the time to take a closer look.
After walking one round, Mo Wuji did not buy any pills. The only things he could use here were healing pills, and the cheapest of these healing pills cost at least a few hundred gold coins. The effects were probably about the same as his penicillin.
Looking at these prices, Mo Wuji had a clearer understanding of the epoch-making penicillin. When penicillin was mass-produced, it could only be bought with a few silver coins, or even copper coins. Compared to these healing pills that easily cost a few thousand gold coins, it was a world of difference.
Mo Wuji went to the second floor. The second floor was filled with pills, and from the packaging and appearance, it was obvious that they were of a higher grade. Mo Wuji did not continue looking, as he could not afford them anyway.
On the third floor, Mo Wuji finally saw the manual, and he immediately pounced on it.
"Southern Dipper Qi Training Manual, an ordinary human level cultivation technique, priced at 8,000 contribution points or 1,000,000 gold coins. Longevity Qi Circulation Scroll, a high-quality Human-tier cultivation technique, priced at 50,000 contribution points or 6,000,000 gold coins. Whirlwind Fist, Fine Grade Human Level Skill, 76,000 contribution points or 8,000,000 gold coins … "
Mo Wuji walked one round, and the more he looked, the colder his heart became. All the gold coins he had were not even enough to buy the cover of the worst Qi Cultivation Manual.
"What do you need, friend?" Seeing Mo Wuji stand up and raise his head, the shop assistant hurried over to greet him.
Mo Wuji quickly recovered from his daze and forced a smile as he asked, "May I ask, why are there only Mortal Grade techniques here? So there's a difference between Elite and Common Mortal Skills? "
When the shop assistant heard Mo Wuji's words, he knew that this deal would not go through. If he couldn't even figure out the grade of the cultivation technique, how could he possibly come to purchase it?
Fortunately, this shop assistant had not been here for a long time, so he patiently explained, "Cultivation Methods are divided into three levels, Heaven, Earth and Human. Heaven Level is naturally the highest. Every level is further divided into Common, Premium and Rare Grade. Earth Level techniques are too high, so we don't have them here. "
The shop assistant did not finish his sentence. Not to mention Earth Level techniques, he didn't even have many Precious Grade Human Level techniques here.
"So the highest level technique is Heaven Level." Mo Wuji subconsciously muttered to himself. He wondered how much gold coins it would cost to exchange for Heaven Level techniques. Even if he added up all the gold coins on a planet, he might not be able to exchange for it.
The shop assistant seemed to be flaunting his knowledge as he chuckled and said, "Generally, the techniques in merchant houses are divided into Heaven, Earth and Human levels. Actually, I've heard that there's an Immortal Grade technique above the Heaven Level, which is a technique that allows one to live forever."
Mo Wuji pointed at the Longevity Qi Circulation Scroll and asked, "Could it be that cultivating this technique doesn't allow one to live forever?"
The shop assistant was very patient, "This technique is called the Longevity Qi Circulation Scroll, but in reality, it's just a way to absorb spiritual energy from Heaven and Earth to temper one's body. Of course one can live forever, but the longevity I'm talking about is to live for a very, very long time. How do I put it … "
The shop assistant thought for a long time but couldn't find a suitable example. Finally, he thought of something and pointed to a technique in the corner and said to Mo Wuji, "For example, that technique manual …"
Mo Wuji hurried over to take a look, "Immortal Mortal Technique …"
Mo Wuji's heart skipped a beat. What an arrogant name. A mortal wants to be immortal?
Almost immediately, Mo Wuji's gaze fell on the price, 1000 contribution points or 110,000 gold coins …
"Why is it so cheap?" Mo Wuji blurted out.
The shop assistant laughed and said, "Look at the grade of this technique and you'll know why it's so cheap."
Mo Wuji felt like he had just seen a beautiful girl for the first time, and that girl was sitting right beside him. Smelling the fragrance of that beautiful girl, his heart started thumping wildly and his entire body started to feel restless.
"Immortal Mortal Technique, Mortal Grade Ordinary Technique …" Seeing this sentence, Mo Wuji exclaimed, "How is this possible?"
That's not right. Even if it was a Mortal Grade Ordinary Technique, it wouldn't be this cheap.
Seeing Mo Wuji's shocked expression, the shop assistant suddenly thought that with a few more words, this fella might just fork out the money to buy the technique.
Just as the shop assistant was about to persuade Mo Wuji to buy the technique, a gentle voice sounded, "This technique can be found everywhere on the streets. The one sold here is the most expensive one. A typical street stall or small shop would probably sell it for 20-30 thousand gold coins, or even 10,000 gold coins. This is because this technique can only reach Channel Opening Stage Level 9 at most. After that, you will have to change your technique. Moreover, using this technique to expand your spirit channels is extremely difficult. Apart from that, cultivating this technique to Channel Opening Stage Level 9 will require many times more resources and effort than cultivating other techniques to Channel Opening Stage Level 9. "
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man with a medium build and a smile on his face. This middle-aged man's words were like a bucket of cold water being poured over Mo Wuji's head. He thought that he had picked up a bargain, but it turned out to be a technique that could be found everywhere on the streets.
"Thank you for your guidance, big brother." Even though he was extremely disappointed, Mo Wuji still clasped his fists and thanked the shop assistant.
The shop assistant said awkwardly, "Even though this technique can be found everywhere on the streets, the techniques we sell here are definitely not lacking in quality. Many of the Immortal Mortal Techniques on the streets lack a lot of content, and they are crudely made. I sell more than 10 copies of this technique every month, I'm definitely not lying. "
The middle-aged man nodded, "Luo Hai Merchant House does have a good reputation, I believe that."
