After a few turns, the old boatman called out to Xiao Chen, "Young Hero, we have arrived at the Medicinal Cauldron Pavilion."
When Xiao Chen walked out of the cabin and looked around, he saw many docked boats. An ancient-looking tall building stood beside the river. The signboard had the words "Medicinal Cauldron Pavilion."
Xiao Chen gently pushed off the ground and leaped over the river. Then, he landed in front of the Medicinal Cauldron Pavilion and walked in with large strides.
"Hehe! Sir, are you here to purchase ready-made Medicinal Pills, Medicinal Pill ingredients, medicine cauldrons, or perhaps some herbs?"
A very attentive manservant immediately arrived before Xiao Chen and greeted him with a smile.
However, when this manservant saw that Xiao Chen was only a Martial Monarch, he did not show too much respect. He only spoke politely.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly. He was very observant and meticulous. How could he not notice the faint disdain in the manservant's eyes?
Very good. Even this manservant has such high standards. This Medicinal Cauldron Pavilion will not disappoint me.
"I want to purchase more than one hundred million Astral Coins. If the Medicinal Cauldron Pavilion can buy them all, I will not go anywhere else."
One hundred million Astral Coins equaled one million Black Astral Coins. Even a regular Superior Grade Martial Sage would not have so much money.
The manservant looked at Xiao Chen with some suspicion. Then, he smiled embarrassedly and said, "Friend, you must be joking, right?"
Xiao Chen did not explain much. He casually tipped this person one hundred Black Astral Coins and handed the list of herbs to him. "All the herbs you want to buy are on there. If you have them, give me ten sets of each."
When the manservant held the bona fide Black Astral Coins in his hand, his expression immediately changed. When he saw the list of herbs, he became so excited that his hands trembled.
A fawning expression appeared on the manservant's face as he smiled and said, "Honored guest, please come with me. Let's go into the inner room and rest. I will immediately go and ask the manager."
There were many cultivators in the hall. When they saw the manservant's expression, they were all shocked. What kind of large order could make the people of the Medicinal Cauldron Pavilion lose their composure?
When these cultivators looked at Xiao Chen, their faces filled with doubt. They did not know where this person came from.
Inside the room, the Medicinal Cauldron Pavilion arranged for two pretty maidservants to serve Xiao Chen. There was an incense burner, medicinal tea, and a platter of Spirit Fruits.
Xiao Chen had seen even better treatment than this before. Naturally, he did not feel reserved. He sipped the medicinal tea and ate the good Spirit Fruits as he chatted with the two maidservants in soft voices.
Soon, the manager of the Medicinal Cauldron Pavilion rushed over.
"Xiao Chen," The manager of the Medicinal Cauldron Pavilion rushed over with a smile. "Xiao Chen, please don't. The manager of the Medicinal Dragon Pavilion is a Medicinal Chen.
This was a large order for one million Black Astral Coins. He could not help but lose his composure. If this order was completed, the Medicinal Cauldron Pavilion would not be able to do business for half a year.
Xiao Chen put down his teacup and waved it off. "As long as you have what I want, I will entertain you however you want."
The manager's eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled and said, "Honored guest, fortunately, you came to my Medicinal Cauldron Pavilion. If you went to another herb store, you would not be able to buy a few items. Even if you could gather them, you would not be able to gather ten portions.
"Eight-thousand-year-old Yellow Qi Fruit, five-thousand-year-old Heavenly Snow Lingzhi, seven-thousand-year-old Ginseng Fruit, Five-colored Gilded Flower … just any one of them is incredibly rare. You can only find some of them at auctions."
The manager was very familiar with the various herbs.
Hearing that the manager had them, Xiao Chen rejoiced in his heart. Even that rather long-winded introduction sounded much more pleasing to his ears.
"Fortunately, my Medicinal Cauldron Pavilion has been accumulating for many years and frequents all sorts of auctions. We can fulfill the herbs that the honored guest wants and your requests. However, the price … "
Xiao Chen's lips curled up in a faint smile. Right now, he was very wealthy. He had more than twenty million Black Astral Coins on hand.
If he sold all the other treasures, not counting the Holy Spirit Vein, he could sell them for a horrifying sum of one hundred million Black Astral Coins.
To Xiao Chen, one million Black Astral Coins was just a drop in the bucket; he could casually take it out.
Xiao Chen flicked his finger, and a spatial ring flew out. The manager used his Mental Energy to check it and saw piles of Black Astral Coins in it, a startling number.
The manager could not help revealing an expression of joy on his face. However, his hand was empty. Xiao Chen had sucked the spatial ring away.
The manager felt disappointed in his heart. He no longer doubted Xiao Chen. Then, he opened his hand, and brocade boxes containing herbs appeared.
Xiao Chen stood up and carefully inspected the items. The Heavenly Origin Pill concerned whether he could recover his strength or not. This was a very important matter, so he could not be careless with the herbs.
"Not bad. The goods are not fake, and the age of the herbs is not false. The Medicinal Cauldron Pavilion is indeed a golden signboard," Xiao Chen complimented after he finished inspecting the items.
Xiao Chen handed over the money with one hand and the goods with the other, successfully completing this transaction.
The manager put away the Black Astral Coins and smiled. "Doing business is all about trust. You get what you pay for. If you need anything in the future, esteemed guest, you can come and look for me.
"Our master, the Nine Cauldron Merchant Association, has some face in the entire Cloud Sea Domain. Aside from Medicinal Pills, we can cooperate in other areas as well."
The manager took advantage of the situation. Clearly, he wanted to befriend Xiao Chen.
A thought occurred to Xiao Chen. He smiled and said, "I am Wen Ziran. Manager, there is no need to address me as esteemed guest. I heard from the manservant that the store sells medicine cauldrons."
A good medicine cauldron could not only raise the quality of the Medicinal Pill but also greatly increase the success rate.
If Mo Chen had a peak grade medicine cauldron, her chances of refining the Heavenly Origin Pill would be higher.
The manager's eyes lit up. He quickly said, "Young Master Wen, are you interested? In that case, I'll bring you to see the treasure of our store, the Heavenly Phoenix Medicine Cauldron. "
Just as Xiao Chen was about to answer, his heart skipped a beat. Something happened to Mo Chen!
"Manager, help me hold on to the Heavenly Phoenix Medicine Cauldron for a while. I have some urgent matters to deal with."
Before the manager could reply, the sullen Xiao Chen's figure flashed, leaving behind a strong wind filled with killing intent that lingered in the room for a long time.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the shopkeeper's sight.
The manager's expression changed slightly. "Where did this major character come from? To think that he came to such a small place like the Shattered Cloud Sea. Could it be that a treasure mountain is about to appear? I have to tell Young Master about this."
Shattered Cloud City, City Lord's Residence:
Mo Chen followed the guards and arrived at the great hall. When she saw the Young City Lords of the various cities, she immediately had a bad feeling.
This was especially so for Separated Cloud City's Shi Feng. He did not hide the lascivious look in his eyes as he stared at her.
Under the veil, Mo Chen's expression did not change. She only pondered in her heart as she calmly stepped forward. When she raised her hand, Secret Treasures flew out.
There were shoulder pads, breastplates, greaves, battle suits, helmets, and many others. This was a complete set of peak Sage Grade Secret Treasures.
Colorful lights filled the air. Everyone's eyes were filled with admiration.
When this set of Secret Treasures was combined, it was much stronger than a regular King Grade Secret Treasure. Every Secret Treasure had formations connected to each other. When they worked together, they formed a huge formation.
The smile in Wang Jue's eyes widened. He leaped up, and the Secret Treasures automatically flew to him. Soon, a set of beautiful, nearly flawless Battle Armor appeared on Wang Jue's body.
"The Mo Clan's unique refining techniques are indeed unique and refreshing. Miss Mo Chen is even more talented and startlingly talented. "
"This set of Secret Treasures not only looks better, but it is also more comfortable to wear than traditional Secret Treasures. Similarly, its power has not decreased. Every part of the formation pattern contains an individual formation, but when combined together, it is a complete formation. "
Wang Jue examined the Secret Treasures, but the smile on his face did not diminish. He was not stingy with his praises.
After a while, Wang Jue removed the Secret Treasures one by one and handed them to his subordinates to put away. Ordinary people did not have strong Mental Energy like Xiao Chen. Leaving a Mental Mark would take some time.
This set of Secret Treasures had many parts.
At this moment, Wang Jue still had something important to do. Naturally, he could not waste time, so he left a Mental Mark on the spot.
Mo Chen's expression did not change as she said calmly, "Young City Lord is too polite. The Mo Clan's refining techniques are not as amazing as the rumors say."
"Is that so? You think that I am too polite? Actually, I think so too. "
Wang Jue smiled faintly and said, "Miss Mo Chen, you know how I feel about you.
"All these years, I've always been polite and courteous to you. Let me ask you, are you willing or not?"
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly turned cold. Eight pairs of eyes stared at Mo Chen.
Undercurrents surged in the surroundings. Urgent footsteps rang out. These were the warriors that the City Lord's Residence raised. The incessant footsteps created a tremendous pressure in the hearts of the people.
As long as Mo Chen said no, she would immediately face a storm of attacks. Once she was captured, she would not be able to escape. Once she was captured, all sorts of methods would be used. The normally top beauty of the Cloud Sea Domain would immediately become a prisoner.
Mo Chen's expression remained calm. She had already expected this situation.
Mo Chen was a woman, a beautiful woman. In this world where the strong preyed on the weak, she carried a great reputation.
Without a strong fate, without heaven-defying strength, it was just a matter of time before she became someone else's plaything.
Life had no roots; it was like floating dust.
However, this day came too early. If she had come later, she would have obtained the Book of Heavenly Works and forged a complete set of King Grade Secret Treasures, enough to fight against the Blue Robed Emperor.
"Mo Chen, you don't have a choice. I'll ask you again, are you willing or not?"
Wang Jue suddenly stood up and took three steps forward. Each step contained a powerful aura as he pressed forward. His gaze was like a sword as he stared at Mo Chen.
There was naked lust in his eyes. Lust burned like a flame, as if he wanted to swallow Mo Chen alive.
Shi Feng's eyes flickered. Lass, don't disappoint me and really agree.
The others thought the same as Shi Feng. If Mo Chen agreed, she would become Wang Jue's exclusive property. They would not be able to touch her even if they wanted to.
Mo Chen laughed softly and removed the veil on her face. "You asked me if I was willing. I will ask you the same thing. Are you willing?"
The moment the veil fell, Wang Jue, who had been pressing forward with an imposing aura, suddenly stopped.
The expression on his face was as if he had seen an extremely terrifying existence, and he staggered backward.
Xiao Chen staggered and fell to the ground in a sorry state. He pointed at Mo Chen with his right hand and trembled. His voice trembled as he said, "You … you … no wonder you never removed your veil three years ago."
