The Saint followed behind Fang Xingjian, and her gaze was attracted by the various goods. This was a place where most of the factions in the Great Western Region were gathered. There were all sorts of heavenly and earthly treasures, and this was not something that the Horned Frogs Valley, where she had come from, could compare to.
Although they were all temporary stalls, each stall took up quite a lot of space, ranging from 20 to 50 square meters.
Moreover, even the weakest person setting up the stall was a Knight apprentice, and each stall was run by a first transition expert. They could easily set up stone tables and stools, and the better ones would even bring along all sorts of tables and chairs. It was more like those exhibitions and expositions on Earth.
Fang Xingjian sniffed and followed a medicinal fragrance to a stall. He saw that there were all sorts of medicinal pills placed there.
An attendant walked over, grinning, and said, "Mister, how are you? What would you like to see? Our Unicorn Trade Association has been a Knight medicinal herb merchant for 80 years. We have all sorts of cultivating medicinal herbs. "
The name Unicorn Trade Association seemed to have nothing to do with martial arts factions. However, in reality, most of the factions in the Empire were not purely martial arts factions.
On the surface, most of the factions were a combination of trade associations, religions, and various interest groups.
On the surface, their businesses could be opening schools, accepting disciples, running trade associations, engaging in all sorts of cultivation, training, medicinal herbs, armors, hunting, and other activities.
In the dark, they could be assassinations, mercenaries, ambushes, underground fights, and other illegal activities.
The Unicorn Trade Association was clearly a faction that combined the interests of medicinal herbs.
This was indeed the case. The Unicorn Trade Association was initially founded by a few wild Knights who dealt in medicinal herbs. Later on, as their business grew, they gained more and more subordinates, and their influence gradually expanded. They became an organization that was half faction and half trade association.
There were countless similar organizations in the Empire. In fact, there were even more of them than pure martial arts factions.
After all, only by doing business and earning money would one be able to expand their influence rapidly. Otherwise, if it was just a few people or several tens of people gathering together to purely cultivate, it would be hard for them to achieve great things without attaining the second transition.
Fang Xingjian glanced at the various medicinal herbs on the table and asked, "I need medicine that can speed up the condensation of specialties and increase one's potential. Do you have any?"
The attendant smiled, took a small box, and opened it. He pointed to a crimson red medicinal pill that was as heavy as metal and said, "This is our latest invention, the Crimson Fire Pill. As a cultivator, you should know that we need to replenish a large amount of energy during our daily cultivation, right? However, ordinary food has too many impurities and lacks nutrition. Even if we eat it, we have to waste our Qi and blood to digest it. However, this Scarlet Fire Pill is different. This is the food we specially prepared for cultivators. One Scarlet Fire Pill is enough to replenish the energy of a first transition cultivator for a day. Long-term consumption can even nourish the human body's bones and muscles, increase one's potential, and increase the possibility of condensing specialties.
Fang Xingjian casually took the Scarlet Fire Pill and sniffed it. He could smell a strong medicinal fragrance. It was obvious that it contained the essence of countless herbs.
"Interesting." Fang Xingjian put down the medicine list and continued, "But while this thing can be eaten by ordinary first transition experts, it won't be sufficient for experts of a higher level. Since you guys are developing this daily medicinal pill, there should be one that can be used by second transition experts, right? Take it out and let us have a look."
A gleam flashed in the attendant's eyes, and he said shamefully, "So you're a second transition expert. I apologize for my lack of manners. Please come with me."
Seeing that Fang Xingjian did not refute his probing, the attendant understood that he had tacitly agreed to it. Therefore, he became even more enthusiastic and led Fang Xingjian to his seat. He then took out a few boxes from a cabinet and placed them before Fang Xingjian. His careful manner made it seem as if the boxes contained some priceless treasures.
There were also people who saw this scene and unknowingly gathered over, wanting to see what the attendant was trying to sell.
The attendant carefully opened one of the boxes and saw a crystalline and translucent medicinal pill that seemed to have flames burning within it.
The moment the box was opened, streams of hot air were emitted.
Looking at the medicinal pill that seemed to be burning with flames, everyone present could not take their eyes off it. The Ice Palace's Saint was even more astonished. When had she ever seen such a miraculous medicinal pill?
Seeing this, the attendant broke into a proud expression and said, "This is the Fire Deity Medicine that our Unicorns Trade Association has created after many years of painstaking research. It's specially created for second transition experts. It gathers the fire nature of the sun in the sky and condenses over 1,000 types of nutritional essences, using the fire nature of the sun to remove impurities. "Even a second transition expert would be able to go without food or water for seven days with just one pill, gaining over 10000 potential points."
"Oh? It's really good stuff. " As the attendant spoke, a hunchbacked old man with a goatee walked over. He took the Fire Deity Medicine from the table and asked, "How much is it? I'll take it? "
"Huh?" The attendant threw the old man with a goatee in surprise. At the next moment, he recognized him and said, "Lord Black Spear."
This Black Spear was one of the second transition experts from the Black Wings, one of the three great factions in the Great Western Region.
The Black Wings was a mercenary organization that had been around for several decades. They often accepted employment to participate in all sorts of assassinations, infiltrations, arena battles, and so on. They even participated in external battles.
The people in this organization placed the most emphasis on actual combat, and their various martial techniques were extremely murderous. What they passed down were true killing techniques on the battlefield, and they tended to be the most fearless when doing things.
Moreover, Black Spear could be considered a regular customer of the Unicorns Trade Association. After he arrived, he appeared even more arrogant and bossy.
Black Spear stroked his goatee and said, "Mmm, I'm asking you. How much is this? I'll take it."
The attendant threw a glance at Fang Xingjian, a little troubled. After all, he was the one who had first introduced this to Fang Xingjian. However, Black Spear was a veteran second transition expert, and he even had the Black Wings behind him. The attendant did not dare to offend him.
Just then, Fang Xingjian said, "First come, first served. I've already taken a liking to this Fire Deity Medicine. No matter how much it costs, I'll buy it. You'd better wait until next time."
"Oh?" Black Spear frowned and looked toward Fang Xingjian and the Ice Palace's Saint. He searched through his memories but was unable to recall their identities. Therefore, he asked, "Lad, which faction are you from?"
With just a gaze and a question, an endless pressure came gushing forth. Under the impact of the will, the Ice Palace's Saint started to tremble.
However, as Fang Xingjian patted her gently on the shoulder, she immediately recovered, feeling extremely peaceful and at ease.
"Ice Palace, Vicious Knight." As Fang Xingjian spoke, he stood up, and an aura that seemed to be able to penetrate through the heavens and earth gushed forth. The people in the surroundings retreated, feeling as if a great mountain was pressing down on them. The tremendous power made it impossible for them to withstand it.
Black Spear's countenance changed as well. However, he was a veteran level 25 expert after all. Although he also felt a great pressure, it was still within the limits of what he could withstand.
Moreover, he had searched through the top notch factions in the Great Western Region several times, but none of them were called the Ice Palace. There was only …
'The Horned Frogs Valley's Ice Palace?' At the thought of this, Black Spear felt a surge of confidence and said, "Lad, it's true that our Black Wings urgently needs this item. If you let me have it today, our Black Wings will remember this favor."
Although the other party was just a small faction, Black Spear did not treat them with violence. Instead, he tried to persuade them nicely. If the other party was still stubborn, then they should not blame him for not holding back.
