60: Chapter 60 Marrow Cleansing and Bone Tempering Pill!

Inside Tianbao Pavilion!

After confirming that Chen An was not joking, the attendant who received him dared not show the slightest negligence. He hurriedly invited Chen An to an elegant room in the inner hall, served a cup of fragrant tea, bowed to apologize, and then hurried away to find a manager at Tianbao Pavilion who could make decisions.

Before long, an elderly man wearing a bright yellow brocade robe, with a scholarly face and vigorous spirit, was respectfully led in by the attendant.

"I am Sun Wende, a manager of Tianbao Pavilion. Greetings, honored guest."

As the old man stepped into the elegant room, his slightly cloudy eyes unobtrusively sized up Chen An.

He saw that although Chen An was dressed in plain and simple clothing, his posture was upright, his expression was calm and composed, and he naturally exuded an extraordinary air of steady restraint.

Most importantly, he could not perceive any Martial Artist aura from the other party, as if he were just an ordinary person.

This discovery immediately caused a flash of surprise to cross Sun Wende's eyes.

"Greetings, Manager Sun!" Chen An glanced at the old man, sensed him for a moment, and discovered that this person actually had the cultivation of the Acquired Late Stage. He raised an eyebrow, stood up, and cupped his hands in return.

"You are too polite, honored guest. Please, sit!"

Seeing that Chen An did not introduce himself, the old man did not press him and said, "I heard from the attendant that you wish to purchase treasures or a Cultivation Technique to improve your Spiritual Root?!"

"That is correct!"

Chen An sat down and nodded indifferently. "I have heard that Tianbao Pavilion has precious medicines and Cultivation Techniques for sale that can improve Martial Bone. I have come here today for this very reason. I do not know if this is true or false, and what the price might be?!"

"Naturally, it is true!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wende's expression turned serious. He looked at Chen An with a solemn gaze and spoke in a steady, confident tone: "My Tianbao Pavilion is one of the top commercial firms in the Great Luo Dynasty. We have everything from rare treasures of the world, Spirit Pills and precious medicines, martial arts Cultivation Techniques, to secret techniques. We are never lacking in rare items!"

He paused for a moment and continued: "As for the precious medicines and Cultivation Techniques to improve Martial Bone that you seek, my Tianbao Pavilion naturally has them in our collection."

"However, as you should know, such treasures involve the foundation of martial arts. They are too rare and not something an ordinary Martial Artist can afford!"

"Furthermore, this branch is only a county-level branch, so we currently only have one type of precious medicine to improve Martial Bone, and it can only improve Martial Bone below the High Grade."

"What kind of precious medicine is it?!" A flash of sharp light crossed the depths of Chen An's eyes.

"The marrow cleansing and bone tempering pill!"

Sun Wende gently flipped his right hand, and a lustrous, warm white jade bottle appeared in his palm. He placed it gently on the table and spoke slowly: "Honored guest, please take a look. This bottle contains the Profound Rank High Grade marrow cleansing and bone tempering pill."

"After consuming and refining it, it can cleanse the tendons and marrow, and temper the bones to reshape the source. It has a significant chance of elevating a Low Grade Martial Bone to a Mid-grade Martial Bone, and a Mid-grade Martial Bone can also attempt to reach a High-grade Martial Bone."

Chen An's gaze swept indifferently over Sun Wende's hand.

With his keen eyesight, he had clearly seen that the jade bottle was not taken from his sleeve, but rather seemed to have been taken from an ancient-looking pouch.

Could that be the legendary Sumeru Pouch?!

Chen An remembered that in his memories before his Awakening, someone in the County Academy seemed to have mentioned this kind of Sumeru Pouch, which was similar to a Storage Pouch.

However, the price of such a Sumeru Pouch was not cheap. It was said that just one cost over one hundred thousand yuan crystals, and even those from martial arts families did not possess them.

His eyes shifted slightly, a trace of surprise flashing through Chen An's heart, but he immediately composed himself. His gaze fell on the jade bottle on the table, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Manager Sun, what exactly is this 'chance' you mentioned earlier?"

Sun Wende did not expect Chen An's mind to be so meticulous, catching the key point in his words immediately. A flash of sharp light passed through his eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Honored guest, you should understand that such precious medicines are ultimately just auxiliary tools for cultivation. They are not Heaven-Defying creations, so naturally, they cannot guarantee a one hundred percent success rate."

He paused and continued in a sincere tone: "However, you can rest assured, honored guest. If it is a Low Grade Martial Bone, refining this marrow cleansing and bone tempering pill gives a full seventy percent probability of breaking through the shackles and ascending to a Mid-grade Martial Bone."

"Even for a Mid-grade Martial Bone wanting to attempt a High-grade Martial Bone, there is a success rate of over thirty percent. Among precious medicines of the same Rank, this is already considered a top-tier level."

"Thirty percent?!"

Hearing the probability Sun Wende mentioned, Chen An could not help but frown. "Can this pill be refined repeatedly? Does it have any effect on the efficacy?"

"This pill can be refined at most twice, but the second one only has a success rate of about ten percent at most!" Sun Wende did not exaggerate but told the truth.

"Does your Tianbao Pavilion have any stronger Medicinal Pills?!" Chen An exhaled and asked.

Sun Wende shook his head and smiled, saying, "Please forgive me, honored guest. As I said just now, this is only a branch, and the Rank of our treasures is limited."

"However, if you are certain you want such treasures, I can request a transfer from the Tianbao Pavilion in the Prefecture City, or you can go to the Prefecture City Tianbao Pavilion yourself to purchase them!"

"Prefecture City?!"

Chen An's gaze flickered slightly, and he secretly took note of this in his heart. Immediately, he composed his thoughts, looked up at Sun Wende, and said calmly: "Manager Sun, I wonder what the selling price of one marrow cleansing and bone tempering pill is?"

"Honored guest, this is a Profound Rank High Grade precious pill. Its quality is excellent, and its medicinal efficacy is potent. The price is naturally a cut above ordinary pills of the same Rank. One pill is priced at two hundred and thirty thousand yuan crystals."

Sun Wende said, looking at Chen An with a smile.

Two hundred and thirty thousand!

Hearing this quote, the corner of Chen An's mouth could not help but twitch slightly.

He remembered that on the market, a Profound Rank High Grade Cultivation Technique only sold for around one hundred and sixty thousand yuan crystals.

A mere pill was actually more expensive than a top-tier Profound Rank Cultivation Technique; it was truly somewhat outrageous.

"How about two hundred thousand yuan crystals?!" Chen An took a deep breath and tried to bargain.

"I am very sorry, honored guest. This price is set by the headquarters, and I have no authority to change it. Please forgive me!" Sun Wende shook his head with a bitter smile and cupped his hands in apology.

Hearing this, Chen An did not commit himself. His eyes flashed for a moment, and he added, "By the way, do you have any Sumeru Pouches for sale here?!"

"Yes, our pavilion sells both Yellow Rank and Profound Rank Sumeru Pouches. The Yellow Rank Sumeru Pouch has one cubic meter of space and is priced at one hundred and twenty thousand yuan crystals. The Profound Rank Sumeru Pouch has five cubic meters of space and is priced at three hundred thousand yuan crystals. Which type do you need?" Sun Wende introduced with a smile.

It really is outrageously expensive!

After hearing the quote, the corner of Chen An's eye twitched slightly. His gaze flashed inwardly, and he took a deep breath to suppress the waves in his heart, then said calmly: "Then I will trouble you, Manager Sun, to get me two marrow cleansing and bone tempering pills, and also bring me one Profound Rank Sumeru Pouch."

"Very well!"

Hearing that Chen An had directly decided to make the purchase, a rich smile instantly bloomed on Sun Wende's face. His eyes were full of surprise and eagerness. He hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Please wait a moment, honored guest. I will prepare them for you immediately!"
