The shop owner was a tall and strong old beastman. Even in the cold winter, this old beastman only wore thin clothes, and his coarse skin covered his lush body. He rested lazily in the shop.
There were many kinds of strange flowers and plants placed everywhere in the shop. Each of these strange flowers and plants had a different color, and the shop was filled with a refreshing fragrance.
After Han Shuo walked in, he just glanced at the old beastman and continued to wander among the flowers and plants. He carefully identified these strange flowers and plants, looking for what he needed.
In Chu Canglan's memory, there was a paragraph related to alchemy. It was obtained after Chu Canglan killed a cultivator who was an alchemist and took his alchemy technique for himself.
There was a period of time when Chu Canglan spent a lot of time studying alchemy techniques. Chu Canglan even refined a few furnaces of alchemy pills by himself according to the alchemy technique.
However, in addition to the alchemy furnace and alchemy technique, the most important thing in alchemy was the materials needed. The more precious the elixir, the rarer the materials needed. Many of them were spiritual objects between heaven and earth. If one wanted to refine the elixir, they must first have enough materials.
In the world that Han Shuo originally lived in, all the famous mountains and rivers had gradually become tourist attractions because of the serious pollution. Some precious medicinal herbs had long been mined out. Even with Chu Canglan's remarkable ability to fly in the sky and burrow into the ground, it took him a year or two to collect the materials for a furnace of Energy-gathering Pill.
It was precisely because of the scarcity of materials and the fact that Chu Canglan was not a very patient person that he finally gave up using elixir to enhance his strength. However, the memory of alchemy was still deeply imprinted in the depths of his memory.
This time, the plant with golden leaves and stalactite-like roots in front of the old beastman's shop attracted Han Shuo's attention.
After Han Shuo carefully examined it and carefully looked at the strange plant according to the method in his memory, he finally confirmed that this strange plant only grew in caves with natural stalactites. It absorbed the stone marrow inside for hundreds of years and gathered the Yin Qi of heaven and earth to form the Golden Marrow Grass.
The Golden Marrow Grass was cold in nature, and was a natural treasure of the Great Yin. Together with some other spiritual objects, it could be used to refine the Nirvana Pill, which could expand the bones and meridians of a mortal. The body would undergo an earth-shattering transformation, becoming a body suitable for cultivation.
There was also a small tree that was bright red like a ruby. It was full of vermilion fruits. The bright red fruits were round and crystal clear. Under the illumination of the sunlight, they shone with a faint red light, like a few miniature suns that were dazzling.
When Han Shuo carefully examined them, he confirmed that they were actually fire-attribute treasures, the Blazing Fruit. Cultivators who practiced fire-attribute cultivation methods or Devil Cultivators could directly consume this Blazing Fruit and use their own methods to channel the enormous power of the sun, greatly improving their cultivation in a short period of time.
However, if one did not practice fire-attribute cultivation methods and consumed the Blazing Fruit by mistake, they would not be able to withstand the fire power contained within it. They would be burned by the power of the Blazing Fruit, and when they turned into charcoal, the spirit power of the Blazing Fruit would slowly dissipate between heaven and earth.
Apart from the Golden Marrow Grass and the Blazing Fruit, this shop also had Dragonfly Fruit, Hundred Year Vine Heart, Extreme Frost Grass, and other rare items. They were all precious materials that some pill refiners needed. When Han Shuo discovered these treasures, he naturally wasn't willing to let them go so easily.
After a while, Han Shuo arranged all the rare spirit herbs that he recognized in this shop neatly and placed them in front of the old orc's counter. He said with a smile, "Old man, how much do these things cost?"
The old orc had been sitting there lazily and had long since seen Han Shuo's actions. He had been observing Han Shuo closely, and only stood up unhurriedly when Han Shuo finally placed all the items in front of him.
Contrary to Han Shuo's expectations, the tall, strong old orc did not immediately respond to Han Shuo's question about the price of these herbs. Instead, he looked at Han Shuo with some interest and asked Han Shuo in response, "You recognize these things and know what they are used for?"
The old orc's voice was hoarse and thick, and sounded a bit awkward when he spoke the human language. His two large nostrils snorted as he spoke, making him look a bit odd.
"I don't, I just thought it was a bit odd and wanted to buy it to study." Han Shuo responded with a smile.
The old orc was a bit disappointed when he heard that Han Shuo didn't recognize them either. He said to himself with some self-deprecation, "I knew it, so many pill refiners don't recognize them, how would you know what these things are?"
Pointing at the Blazing Fruit, the old orc explained to Han Shuo, "Curious human lad, these things aren't fun. These strange poisonous herbs grow in the barren lands of our home, and no one dares to play with them. For example, this red fruit. Even some ferocious wild beasts will be burned to death if they mistakenly eat this red fruit.
Also, if you put your hand on the branches and leaves of these strange little flowers, you'll feel a bone-piercing chill. Whoever eats them will be frozen into a block of ice. You're not a pill refiner, so it's best if you don't try to mix them carelessly. According to what I know, even some pill refiners have suffered terrible injuries when mixing them. "
The old orc obviously didn't know the wondrous uses of these natural treasures and instead thought of them as terrifying poisonous herbs. The Blazing Fruit and Extreme Frost Grass were treasures of extreme heat and cold. Ordinary people would indeed be harmed if they took them, because ordinary people would definitely not be able to digest the spirit power within. It was normal for him to have this kind of misunderstanding.
Chuckling lightly, Han Shuo said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not using these things carelessly. It's just that I know a pretty good pill refiner and he's quite accomplished with some strange herbs. I'm just giving them to others. Of course, I'll remember your reminder and tell them the characteristics of these poisonous herbs. "
"Alright then, it was quite difficult for my children to bring these herbs from the faraway barren lands. You can give me a hundred gold coins for all of these items. This is a very fair price, and there are some pill refiners who are very interested and willing to pay a large price for them. " The old orc obviously didn't know what it meant for these items to fall into the hands of a knowledgeable person like Han Shuo. A hundred gold coins wasn't even enough to buy a single leaf from one of the herbs.
On account of the old orc's kind reminder earlier, plus the possibility that these herbs might be delivered to him in the future, Han Shuo generously threw down five hundred gold coins and said, "Many thanks to the old man for your reminder. Your kind reminder is worth four hundred gold coins, otherwise my friend may have run into great trouble." Mm, if you have more of these herbs, feel free to bring them over from the barren lands. I'll be sure to pay a large price for them when I have the time. "
"Oh, esteemed guest, your generosity will definitely be rewarded. Thank you very much!" The old orc excitedly accepted a bag of five hundred gold coins. His gaze when he looked at Han Shuo was completely different as he happily praised him.
"Wait a moment." Suddenly, a clear voice rang out from outside the door. Then, a beautiful woman that even Han Shuo and the other two couldn't help but sigh in admiration walked in leisurely.
Her tall and slender body was wrapped in a light purple dress. Her long brown hair flowed down like a waterfall, and below her slender phoenix eyebrows were a pair of limpid eyes. Further down was a delicate nose, small crimson red lips, tender and smooth skin, and an oval face. All of these were the elements that a beautiful woman should have.
She looked to be only in her early twenties, but her entire being exuded the air of someone who held great power and had experienced great things. Although she didn't purposefully reveal it, her entire being naturally exuded a disdainful aura, as if she could easily decide the life and death of others.
"Hi, beautiful, are you talking to me?" After a loud whistle, dark dragon Gilbert looked at the woman excitedly and said lightly.
"Not you!" She flicked a glance at Gilbert and responded faintly. She didn't look at Gilbert again and walked directly towards Han Shuo. When she arrived in front of Han Shuo, she extended a slender finger and pointed at the Extreme Frost Grass. Her limpid eyes looked at Han Shuo and said, "Can you give this poisonous grass to me?"
Shaking his head, Han Shuo smiled faintly and said, "I'm sorry, I can't!"
After being deflated, the beautiful woman looked at Han Shuo with a dumbfounded expression, as if she hadn't thought that Han Shuo would refuse so straightforwardly. Her phoenix eyebrows furrowed beautifully and she opened her mouth again, "I can pay one hundred gold coins for this poisonous grass!"
Shaking his head again, Han Shuo also smiled faintly and still firmly refused, "I'm sorry, I'm not selling!"
After being deflated twice, she clearly knew that she wouldn't be able to obtain this Extreme Frost Grass. She looked deeply at Han Shuo and said disdainfully, "A man with no poise. It looks like Emily's words weren't all that detailed."
When these words were spoken, it was Han Shuo's turn to be stunned. He stared closely at the woman and asked tentatively, "You're Mistress Cecilia?"
Nodding her head with a cold expression, Cecilia raised her head to look at Han Shuo and said with a haughty expression, "That's me. May I ask Mister Brian, what will it take for you to give this poisonous grass to me?"
"I won't give it to you no matter what!" Han Shuo responded, then said with a smile, "It's very nice to meet you, Mistress Cecilia. Goodbye!"
When these words were spoken, Han Shuo didn't look at Cecilia again and walked around her, directly walking out of the shop.
