"As everyone knows, the higher the floor of the Thousand Gold Building, the more valuable the items are. Below the 200th floor, there are only ordinary items. Above the 200th floor, there are all sorts of precious resources that can aid in cultivation. Cultivation arts, medicine, monster meat … there's everything you need. There's nothing you can't buy. But even so, there are over 800 floors here. If you search blindly, it'll be a waste of time. Hence, customer, you can tell me what you want to buy. I can recommend you the most affordable and best quality store. " Since they had come to an agreement, Tan Xiaoqin immediately got into character and explained the situation of the Thousand Gold Building to Feng Lin in detail.
Feng Lin silently nodded when he heard this. He had gained a lot from this.
This was his first time here and he was inexperienced. It wasn't a bad thing to have such an attentive shopping guide.
As for what he wanted to buy …
Feng Lin thought about it. The most important thing now was to solve the problem of overdrafting his vitality. Everything else could be pushed to the back of his mind.
He couldn't afford to be careless when it came to his future cultivation path.
He suddenly thought of a famous medicine among cultivators, the potion of life.
This was an extremely famous and common genetic potion. It contained all sorts of nutrients and rare energy ions, as well as all the elements humans needed. It was also the ultimate creation of human genetics.
Even a sickly person would be able to rapidly grow into a muscular man after consuming it. But the prerequisite was that the person had to be able to endure the powerful medicinal potency.
For ordinary mortals who hadn't awakened their mythological genes and had yet to evolve, the powerful medicinal potency of the potion of life would instantly cause them to explode.
This wasn't a joke. This was something that had happened many times in the past.
There would always be people who knew nothing about cultivation but wanted to ascend to the heavens in a single step. They would drink the potion of life, but they didn't know that their bodies wouldn't even be able to endure the medicinal potency.
The Potion of Life was truly something for cultivators to drink, and the so-called nutrient solution was nothing more than a simplified version of the Potion of Life's technology to supplement the nutrients of mortals.
"Potion of life? It's easy to find. You can buy it at the automatic potion of life on the 256th floor. "Tan Xiaoqin smiled.
"Alright. Let's go there then. " Feng Lin nodded and didn't delay. The two of them walked up the escalator and entered an automatic store.
This place was completely controlled by the A.I. and there were no salespeople. Customers only had to swipe their identity microchip to pay.
Feng Lin swept his gaze over and discovered that there were all sorts of potions of life placed here. They were neatly arranged and there were many different types of potions, causing one's eyes to be dazzled.
Red, green, blue, purple … there were all sorts of colors, and each had a different flavor to suit the tastes of different people. The price also ranged from 1000 to 3000 star coins.
Feng Lin thought about it and asked, "Why is it a potion of life as well? The price difference is so big! "
Tan Xiaoqin, who was observing from the side, could tell that this was the first time Feng Lin came to the Thousand Gold Building. However, she maintained a professional smile on her face and didn't reveal the slightest hint of contempt. She softly said, "Although it's a potion of life, the difference in price can be huge. This is one of the few genetic medicines that can be artificially synthesized. However, there are different levels of artificially synthesized ones as well.
"Oh?" Feng Lin was interested.
He had always thought that artificial synthesis was just a method of synthesis. He did not expect that there were also grades. This was the first time he had heard of this. He waited to hear the rest of the story. Perhaps he could learn more about cultivation resources from it.
Tan Xiaoqin didn't keep Feng Lin in suspense. She stretched out her finger and made a 'three' gesture. "Generally speaking, there are three levels of artificial synthesis. The first is mechanical synthesis. It uses A.I. and machinery to produce potions of life. However, the quality of this type of potion of life is ordinary. There are high medicinal properties and low medicinal properties. Hence, it's the lowest grade and is usually sold for around 1000 star coins. "
She pointed at the cheapest HP Potions in the shop, which were also the most common ones on display.
After which, Tan Xiaoqin walked to the potions that were packaged more extravagantly and were more expensive. "The second type is artificial synthesis. In the Interstellar Era, labor costs are too expensive. This method increases the production cost of the potions of life. Naturally, the price would be much higher. Usually, a bottle would cost at least 2000 star coins! "
Feng Lin nodded, he understood very well.
The more advanced the technology, the more expensive the labor costs. This was also the reason why some small clans would encourage low-grade clansmen to reproduce in large numbers. They wanted them to enter the clan's factories and squeeze out the labor force.
"Why do we need to cultivate them? What's the difference between the two types of potions of life? "Feng Lin asked the crucial point.
"Naturally, there's a difference!" Tan Xiaoqin covered her mouth and chuckled. "The Potion of Life is essentially a type of artificially synthesized genetic drug. It requires a high degree of accuracy in the ingredients, but the effect itself is highly random. The slightest difference can lead to a huge difference. Although the speed of mechanical synthesis is fast, it's still an inanimate object. It can only be produced according to standard procedures and is unable to accurately determine the medicinal properties. Although the quality of the potions produced is stable, the medicinal effect won't be too high. This is something that only humans can do. Hence, the better potions of life are all artificial. "
"Oh?" Feng Lin didn't deny it. He suddenly pointed to a spot and asked, "What about this bottle?"
The most eye-catching part of the store was a potion of life. The price tag was 10,000 star coins.
Different from the other potions that were red, green, cyan, blue, and purple in color, this potion was completely black. It was as deep as the night sky, and within it, there were specks of silver light that were as resplendent as the stars.
This potion itself was a work of art!
"This is a potion of life personally created by a geneticist!" Tan Xiaoqin said slowly with a respectful expression.
"Geneticist!" Feng Lin was startled. This was the first time he heard of this term.
Anything that could be related to genetics would definitely be extraordinary. This seemed to be a new occupation that was related to genetics. It gave off an incomparably mysterious feeling, and a strong sense of interest rose in his heart.
Seeing that his interest was piqued, Tan Xiaoqin, as the shop guide, naturally had to answer the customer's questions. She described the information about geneticists in her mind in detail.
Tan Xiaoqin explained, "Every geneticist is an expert in the field of mythological genes. They delved deep into genetic theory, deducing and proving the relationships between various genes as well as the evolution method. After that, they used genes as a starting point to develop all sorts of mysterious items for interstellar cultivators. Some researched on potions of life, some researched on mechanical creations … For example, potions of life and genetic armors are their masterpieces. A potion of life created by a geneticist would have a medicinal effect that far surpasses other potions of life. The price would also be many times higher, starting from 10,000 star coins … "
The more Feng Lin listened, the brighter his eyes became.
