936: Chapter 937 Heavenly Pill Pavilion
Half an hour later, Manager Liu returned.
Holding a brand-new Storage Ring in his hands, he handed it to Gu Changge with a somewhat apologetic tone:
"Senior, all the inventory in this pavilion has been completely retrieved, and it can provide seven-tenths of the medicinal herb categories on the list. As for the last few..."
He paused, looking troubled: "This old man has truly never heard of them, and I am afraid they cannot be found in the entire Desolate Domain."
"As for the remaining few rare items, only a small amount was found. I hope Senior will forgive me."
Gu Changge took the Storage Ring and swept his Divine Sense into it.
The medicinal herbs were piled like a mountain, shrouded in spiritual light, and fragrant with medicine, and the quality was indeed quite good.
But he roughly estimated that with his current Alchemy speed and consumption, these medicinal herbs probably wouldn't even be enough for a day or two.
"Just this little?"
Gu Changge muttered subconsciously.
Right now, not only did he need to perform Alchemy for several Personal Disciples like Xiao Ruobai, Fang Hanyu, and Wang Zhan, but he also had to consider the situation after the people of the Azure Profound Sect achieved Ascension to the Celestial Realm.
When they came up, if they wanted to quickly keep up with the rhythm of cultivation, they would inevitably need a massive amount of Medicinal Pills to assist their advancement, and the required spiritual materials could be called a bottomless pit.
The medicinal herbs right before him were merely a drop in the bucket.
When Manager Liu heard these words, he almost passed out from breathlessness.
This was called little?
"Senior is joking. This batch of medicinal herbs is already the entire inventory accumulated by the Fuyao Branch of our Treasure Pavilion for a hundred years..."
He forced down the urge to spit blood, gave a dry cough, and lowered his voice:
"If Senior feels it is not enough, this old man happens to have a place to recommend."
"Oh?" Gu Changge raised his eyes to look at him, "What place?"
Manager Liu stroked his beard, and his expression became a bit more solemn: "Heavenly Pill Pavilion."
"Heavenly Pill Pavilion?" Gu Changge raised his eyebrows slightly, "What kind of place is this?"
The manager looked at him in astonishment; the young man before him had bought out the entire pavilion's medicinal herbs with a single move.
His financial resources were unfathomable, yet he had actually never heard of the name Heavenly Pill Pavilion. Then, he hurriedly and patiently explained:
"Heavenly Pill Pavilion is situated in the central region of the Desolate Domain, with countless herb fields and Spirit Medicine valleys under its command."
Half of the rare spiritual materials in the entire Desolate Domain are controlled by them, and their influence is boundlessly massive.
"It is rumored that there is a Great Grandmaster of Alchemy at the half-step Supreme Realm presiding within the pavilion, and there are also ten Heavenly Lord Alchemists under their banner. They are undeniably the number one faction in the entire Desolate Domain."
"Heavenly Pill Pavilion not only engages in Alchemy but also deals in the trade of medicinal herbs. In terms of scale and foundation, their medicinal herb reserves are far beyond what our Treasure Pavilion can compare to."
"If Senior wishes to purchase rare medicinal herbs in large quantities, going to the Heavenly Pill Pavilion will definitely not disappoint you."
After hearing this, Gu Changge's gaze lit up slightly.
A Great Grandmaster of Alchemy at the half-step Supreme Realm?
This title was somewhat interesting.
He stood up and cupped his fists at Manager Liu: "Many thanks for Manager Liu's guidance."
Manager Liu hurriedly returned the courtesy: "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Senior is too polite."
"If you have any further needs in the future, feel free to come to the Treasure Pavilion at any time, and this old man will definitely do his utmost."
Gu Changge nodded, paid the money, and turned around, taking Xiaobai and Jimie downstairs.
However, as the three of them just walked out of the pavilion and hadn't gone far, a hurried and sharp scolding suddenly rang out from the roadside.
"Make way! Quickly make way!"
"All irrelevant personnel, quickly step aside! Can you afford to bear the responsibility if you delay a Heavenly Lord from treating his injuries?"
The sharp shout penetrated the streets and alleys, and the originally bustling long street instantly fell silent.
All Cultivators instinctively stopped their steps, retreating to both sides of the road one after another, their expressions carrying awe and apprehension.
Gu Changge's expression remained unchanged as he took Xiaobai and Jimie to retreat to the roadside, raising his eyes to look indifferently.
Several figures were as fast as shooting stars, rapidly darting over from the end of the long street with extreme speed, their fluttering robes filled with anxiety.
The leading Elders wore the standard Daoist robes of the Azure Underworld Heavenly Palace, with sweat on their foreheads, panicked expressions, and hurried footsteps, completely lacking the arrogance and preciousness of Elders from major sects in the past.
Behind them, four people carried an exquisite white jade chariot. Quietly lying upon the jade chariot was an old man with white hair and a white beard.
The old man's complexion was ashen like dead ashes, his breath was faint, his vitality was nearly severed, and a ferocious and terrifying wound on his chest was deep enough to see the bone.
Wisps of pitch-black Supreme Death Qi entwined around the wound, continuously eroding his Divine Soul and dao foundation, exuding a gloomy and decaying world-destroying aura.
"It is Heavenly Lord Qinghua of the Azure Underworld Heavenly Palace!"
Someone in the crowd let out a low cry, full of disbelief, "How could a dignified Middle Stage Heavenly Lord powerhouse be injured to this near-death state?"
"You don't know yet? In the battle of the Solitary Mountain Supreme Tomb, the five major factions suffered a crushing defeat and returned in failure! Several Heavenly Lords perished, and countless were injured!"
"It is rumored that when Heavenly Lord Qinghua was breaking the Restriction in the tomb, he was heavily injured by a hidden Supreme killing intent, and the Death Qi entered his body and entangled his Dao."
"Ordinary Medicinal Pills are simply unsolvable! Being able to escape back to Fuyao City alive is already a Supreme stroke of luck!"
The discussions rose and fell one after another, carrying sighs and lingering fear.
Behind the jade chariot, another team of people closely followed, and the team's aura was similarly low and oppressive.
Those were members of the Beichen Jiang Family. In the center of the team, a Jiang Family Old Ancestor sat leaning with closed eyes, one arm hanging down bizarrely, his bones completely shattered and Meridians broken.
His entire body was likewise entangled with lingering pitch-black Death Qi, his Divine Soul tottering, and he was already on the verge of perishing.
The two teams walked with hurried steps, and their goal was extremely unified—precisely the direction from Fuyao City leading to the center of the Desolate Domain.
Someone softly unraveled the mystery: "The injuries of the two Heavenly Lords are bizarre, and the Death Qi is unsolvable. All alchemists and medicine pavilions in the city are powerless to cure them. They are rushing to the Heavenly Pill Pavilion for help!"
"In the entire Desolate Domain, only the half-step Supreme Alchemist of the Heavenly Pill Pavilion might be able to suppress this terrifying Supreme Death Qi!"
Until the two teams walked far away, the crowd finally resumed its clamor.
"Too miserable..." A Cultivator who had just returned from Solitary Mountain shook his head and sighed, his face full of lingering fear.
"You guys didn't see that scene; out of an army of millions of Cultivators, not even half returned alive."
"Two Heavenly Lords died, an Old Ancestor of the Beichen Jiang Family perished, and the Zhenyue Heavenly Dynasty also lost an old prince."
"There were as many as six or seven injured Heavenly Lords, and every single one of them was wounded."
"With so many people dead, the harvest should not be small, right?" someone asked curiously.
That Cultivator gave a bitter smile: "Harvest? What kind of harvest!"
"We fought desperately to break into the main tomb, but as a result, it was completely empty inside, and not even a decent Spirit Stone could be found."
"I don't know which god-damned bastard actually went ahead and emptied the tomb before us!"
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings immediately erupted in an uproar.
"Emptied? That is a Supreme Tomb! Who could have such great ability?"
"Who knows? Anyway, those Heavenly Lords are all dying of anger right now and are searching everywhere for suspicious characters."
"However, having said that," another Cultivator stroked his chin, his eyes lighting up.
"The five major factions suffered heavy losses this time, several Heavenly Lords died, and the Disciples below suffered countless casualties."
"Next, they will definitely want to recruit new people on a large scale to replenish their strength. For us Loose Cultivators, this is quite an opportunity!"
"Makes sense! In the past, the threshold of the five major factions was extremely high; wanting to enter required pulling strings and giving gifts."
"Now they are desperately lacking people, so they will definitely lower their standards. Maybe we can even sneak in and become an Outer Sect Disciple!"
"Right, right, right. This is a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity..."
Hearing the discussions around him, Gu Changge's expression remained unchanged, but his heart stirred slightly.
Having just heard of the great reputation of the Heavenly Pill Pavilion from the manager's mouth, he immediately ran into two top-tier Heavenly Lords who were severely injured and on the verge of death, going to great lengths to seek help from afar.
It was enough to show that the weight of this number-one Alchemy faction in the Desolate Domain was definitely not a false rumor.
Xiaobai couldn't help smacking its lips and lowered its voice:
"Master, it seems this Heavenly Pill Pavilion really has some substance. Even when Heavenly Lords are heavily injured, they still have to be eagerly sent over there."
Gu Changge gazed at the direction where the jade chariot disappeared, his gaze shifting slightly as a faint, imperceptible smile hooked the corner of his mouth.
"Since that is the case, then let's take a trip there."
