79: Fifth-Rank Alchemist Inheritance
Hearing this, Mu Yuruo, who was resting behind the stall, raised her head and looked at Zhang Daobai with a gentle smile, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, why are you here?"
"I'm just looking around and buying some Alchemy Materials along the way," Zhang Daobai replied with a smile.
Mu Yuruo's appearance and temperament were as gentle as water, just like her name, and she looked full of the charm of a top grade wife.
Fortunately, Zhang Daobai was not Cao Zei, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to resist pursuing her.
"If you want Spirit Medicine, you can walk to the left. Most of the stalls over there sell Spirit Medicine," Mu Yuruo said, pointing the way for Zhang Daobai.
"Thank you for the directions, Sister Mu. I'll go take a look first and won't disturb your business."
Zhang Daobai nodded and walked in the direction Mu Yuruo had pointed.
After turning a corner, Zhang Daobai smelled a rich medicinal fragrance.
The Spirit Medicine here was basically all freshly gathered from the Xuantian Mountain Range, so it still retained a fresh fragrance close to nature.
Since he had already made up his mind to earn Spirit Stones, Zhang Daobai prepared to start with Alchemy.
Medicinal Pills were always one of the necessities for those who Cultivate and one of the best-selling products. As long as the quality of the Medicinal Pills was good, there was no need to worry about not being able to sell them.
After purchasing some Spirit Medicine for refining Grade Two Alchemy, Zhang Daobai began to wander around.
It had to be said that the quality of the goods in the Four Directions Island market was more than a level higher than in Purple Maple Immortal City. Zhang Daobai even saw quite a few Grade Four Spirit Medicines.
"Hmm? They even sell Alchemist Legacies?"
Zhang Daobai suddenly stopped and turned to look at a simple stall.
The reason it was called simple was that there were only three Jade Slips on the stall, and a wooden sign stood next to them with 'Grade Five Alchemist Legacy' written on it.
The stall owner was a young man who looked quite idle, similar to the spirit youths Zhang Daobai had seen in his previous life.
"Five hundred thousand Spirit Stones. If you like it, give me the Spirit Stones and take it away."
The young man held a jade plate in his hand and spoke without even looking up.
Zhang Daobai subconsciously glanced at the jade plate in his hand and found that it was playing a seductive and erotic image that made one blush.
"Holy crap! Watching erotica in public, is he that desperate?"
Zhang Daobai's pupils shrank at the sight, and his pure soul felt as if it had been hit by a heavy blow.
The thing in the young man's hand was called a shadow retention token, which was a similar type of Magical Artifact to a Shadow Retention Orb.
There was no shortage of smart people in the cultivation world, so some people used the recording function of the shadow retention token to record some attractive images and then sell the shadow retention tokens at a high price.
Some people would even specifically open a shop for transcribing images, selling them at almost no cost.
When Zhang Daobai first learned about this Magical Artifact, he had wondered if it was possible to turn it into a mobile phone.
But after some deduction, Zhang Daobai finally gave up on the idea.
First, it required a high foundation in Artifact Refining and Formations, and second, even if he made it, he wouldn't be able to keep the technology.
If he was lucky, the technology would be forcibly acquired; if he was unlucky, he would get the full service of soul searching and soul extinguishment.
After withdrawing his gaze, Zhang Daobai picked up a Jade Slip to examine it.
Because of the Restriction, Zhang Daobai could only view part of the content, but he could still be certain that this was indeed a Grade Five Alchemist Legacy.
However, Zhang Daobai couldn't help but be curious why this Grade Five Alchemist Legacy was being sold so cheaply, almost at a bargain price.
"I've already sold many copies of this. There's definitely no problem with it. If there's any issue, you can come back and find me anytime!"
Seeing Zhang Daobai hesitate, the young man quickly explained.
"Is this Legacy passed down in your Family?" Zhang Daobai asked curiously.
"Yes, my ancestors once produced a Grade Five Alchemist known as Heavenly Fire!" the young man said with a face full of pride.
"Who!? Heavenly Fire?" Zhang Daobai asked in shock.
"What? Have you also heard of my ancestor's great name?"
The young man's eyes lit up as if he had met a kindred spirit, and he spoke quickly.
"Uh..."
Zhang Daobai's expression was a bit awkward, and he didn't know what to say.
Should he tell him that his ancestor's tomb had been dug up and even used as a sacrifice site by evil cultivators?
"If your ancestor was Heavenly Fire, then why are you..."
Zhang Daobai didn't continue, but his gaze already said everything.
The young man seemed to have long since grown used to it. He leaned back lazily and said indifferently, "Many people already know about this, so it doesn't matter if I tell you."
"It's simply that the Family has declined, and since I don't have any talent for Alchemy, I can only sell the Family Legacy to get by."
A son selling his father's fields doesn't feel the pain.
Looking at his indifferent appearance, Zhang Daobai immediately thought of a famous saying.
But since there was no problem with the Legacy, Zhang Daobai wouldn't refuse such a good opportunity.
So, Zhang Daobai took out five hundred thousand Spirit Stones, put them into a Storage Pouch, and placed it on the stall.
"Can you check if there's any problem?" Zhang Daobai said.
The young man's eyes immediately grew fervent, and he took the Storage Pouch to count the stones.
"No problem! I'll teach you the method to break the Restriction right now."
After finishing the count, the young man taught Zhang Daobai the method to break the Restriction via voice transmission.
Zhang Daobai broke the Restriction according to the young man's method, and after checking it, he nodded in satisfaction.
Although this young man wasn't much of a person, he was quite honest in business.
After putting away the Jade Slip, Zhang Daobai prepared to leave. Before he left, he thought for a moment and said, "By the way, I heard a while ago that the Heavenly Fire True Lords Tomb appeared near Purple Maple Immortal City. I wonder if it's true."
Hearing Zhang Daobai's words, the young man's expression changed instantly. Just as he was about to ask Zhang Daobai about the Heavenly Fire True Lords Tomb, he saw that Zhang Daobai had already walked far away.
"No way? My ancestral grave was dug up?"
The young man quickly packed up his stall, preparing to go and investigate the situation Zhang Daobai had mentioned.
After obtaining the Grade Five Alchemist Legacy, Zhang Daobai turned and went back to the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
The Pill Furnace he was currently using was a High Grade Magical Artifact, which was fine for refining Grade One and Grade Two pills, but it would be a bit difficult to refine Grade Three pills.
So, while he had Spirit Stones now, Zhang Daobai planned to buy a Magic Treasure-level Pill Furnace just in case.
After coming to the second floor, Zhang Daobai soon chose a green Low Grade Magic Treasure Pill Furnace.
It was said that when refining pills, this Pill Furnace could help the Alchemist stabilize the medicinal power of the Spirit Medicine, helping to improve the quality of the Medicinal Pills.
This Low Grade Magic Treasure Pill Furnace cost Zhang Daobai a full three million Spirit Stones, which really pained him.
After buying the Pill Furnace, Zhang Daobai didn't continue wandering and went straight back to his home on Moonlight Island.
