Chapter 534: 534
After Ma Long left, Shi Mu took the storage ring in his hand and rubbed it . Through his spirit sense, he saw more than 5,000 pieces of the most colorful and powerful spirit stone . He was overjoyed .
Through this grand championship, concealing his cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art prevented him from rising too high in the ranks . However, his harvest was not small . With these top-quality spirit stones, any reward he missed out on did not seem worthy of attention .
Shi Mu put the storage ring away as he headed back to the cave residence . The moment he lay in bed, he immediately fell into a deep sleep .
After a few days of fighting, he was drop-dead tired .
Shi Mu had been sleeping for three days straight . On the fourth day, he finally woke up and was in high spirits .
Just as he was about to leave the secret chambers, he suddenly heard Cai’s voice in his mind .
“Hey Shi Mu, you’re finally awake! Cui Huan has been waiting for you for almost three days now . It seems she has something important to discuss with you . ”
“Well alright . Tell her to wait for me in the living room . ”
After a while, in the living room…
“Seeing that look on your face, I assume that the entry result of your disciple trial was good,” Shi Mu said as he looked at Cui Huan from head to toe .
“With the blessing of the young master, although I was unable to enter the top 36, I was successful in entering into the Holy Land of Qinglan . I’ve come here once again to thank you and resign from the residence,” Cui Huan blushed as she said .
It should have been a happy event but her face seemed to be swept away by a sense of coldness . Such a change in her demeanor was as if she had been reincarnated .
“Great! For a former attendant of mine to become a disciple of Qinglan in my residence, it’s such an honor . From this day onwards, Zhao Shenlei won’t dare lay a hand on you ever again . ”
Cui Huan nodded as she recalled the harsh reality her family had suffered and sighed helplessly .
Both of them remained silent for a moment . After a while, Shi Mu broke the silence .
“Oh, I forgot to ask . During the trials of disciples, did you happen to go into the depths of the Holy Land’s secret territory?”
Cui Huan was stunned for a while then shook her head .
“Before we entered the secret territory, the elders warned us of the danger, so I didn’t go . However, I heard that some disciple did venture into its depths . ”
“Oh well then . Did you hear about any unusual changes in the center of the secret territory?”
“They said that other than the Xiantian-level monsters and beasts, there was nothing special about it . ”
“Ah, I see…” Shi Mu muttered .
“Young master, is there any problem?”
“It’s nothing . I just thought about this . Also, we’re now on the same level as disciples so there’s no need for you to address me as young master again . Just Shi Mu is enough,” Shi Mu shook his head and said .
Cui Huan smiled and accepted it .
The two chatted again, and after a while, Cui Huan officially left the residence .
After Shi Mu waited for her to leave, he immediately went to the secret chamber and took a handful of cyan-colored wooden strips . It was the wood strips taken from the Sylvan King back in the secret territory .
For a long time now, the appearance of the wooden strip had not changed in the slightest .
“What exactly is this wooden strip?” Shi Mu whispered as he condensed his spirit sense into it to have a better look .
He watched over it for a quarter of an hour . Aside from the faint scent that occasionally emanated from the strip, as well as a pure woody aura, he could not see anything else .
Shi Mu shook his head and kept the wooden strip safely .
Maybe he did not possess the vast knowledge to understand it . He would need help to identify it .
His thoughts sank a little before he stood up and walked out of the chambers .
“Hey Shi Mu, are you going out? Take me with you!” Cai flew over and perched on Shi Mu’s shoulder .
Shi Mu nodded in agreement as he waved his hand to summon the Green-winged Flying Carriage and flew in the direction of the tower .
After a quarter of an hour, Shi Mu arrived at the main hall of Qinglan .
Th hall had a large area, undoubtedly several times larger than the Convention Pavilion . People came and went from time to time, making the atmosphere very lively .
A quaint stone plaque was hung in front of the temple with the words “Vast Temple of Spirit Medicine” carved on it .
“Shi Tou, you’re looking to purchase some alchemical pills?” Cai asked he looked around .
Shi Mu nodded . The last of his alchemical pills had been consumed today .
Since he had been promoted as an upper disciple, he was able to witness the power of the other upper disciples through the grand championship .
Shi Mu was certainly not weak, but his cultivation was relatively low in this realm . It would be necessary for him to keep up with this vast knowledge as soon as possible .
Shi Mu stepped into the Vast Temple of Spirit Medicine . There was a lot of space, with about twenty to thirty rooms available .
The furnishings were identical to some of the medicinal shops he had seen . Large counters with various medicinal herbs were placed on them, exuding a refreshing scent .
The collection of medicinal herbs was extremely comprehensive and clearly classified . Therapeutic herbs, solid cultivation herbs, detoxification herbs, and some other types of herbs were clearly marked on the counter . This included poisons and ivy .
Behind every counter stood a male and female attendant in a green robe . There were many people in the hall browsing at the counters as the pair of attendants explained patiently with a smile on their faces .
Shi Mu had been here several times before so he was not surprised by what he said . However, it was the first time for Cai . He could not contain his excitement and was growling in a low then high-pitch voice . Shi Mu had to calm him down .
Shi Mu paused for a while before walking over to the counter selling herbs for cultivation
“Oh hello brother disciple, may I know what kind of medicine you’re looking for?”
Behind the counter stood an attendant who seemed to be in his twenties . His facial features were perfect but not outstanding . The only peculiar part about him was the faint golden eyeshadow around his eyes, which added a strange vibe to his look .
There were various kinds of solid cultivation herbs sold . Forty to fifty types to be exact, which were then divided by their various properties . The characteristics of the medicinal herbs were different as well, which made Shi Mu’s vision blurry .
“May I ask if there are any yang-type herbs suitable for mid-level Earth grade?” Shi Mu looked at the herbs on the counter for a while and shook his head, giving up before he looked up and asked for the attendant’s assistance .
“There are eight kinds of medicinal properties that are suitable for this type of cultivation . ”
The attendant’s eyes swept through the counter then pointed at a specific group of medicinal herbs at Shi Mu .
Shi Mu turned his gaze toward it .
Extreme Serpent Pill, Ardent Yang Pill, Sixth Primary Pill… Each medicinal herb was clearly labeled with its properties below the name .
Shi Mu had a good understanding of the medicinal herbs . As he looked through every single one of them, his brows slightly wrinkled .
Although these medicinal herbs were considered to be top-grade, they were not too different from the medicinal herbs they used to consume and did not live up to his expectations .
“Are there any better medicinal herbs here then?” Shi Mu asked .
“All of our local yang-type herbs are here . These are considered the best medicinal herbs . If you want better ones, you can only find them in the Xiantian remedies section . However, I hope you’re aware that those Xiantian remedies are too strong for most Earth-grade warriors to withstand, and risks damaging their ribs,” the attendant said in a somewhat sad tone .
Shi Mu frowned . These remedies were far from his ideal goal .
“Fellow brother disciple, there might be a medicinal herb here that will meet your requirements,” said another round-faced youth who came over from the side .
Both Shi Mu and the attendant with eyeshadow looked at the other man .
“Brother Qin Shi,” the eyeshadow youth hurriedly came forward and bowed respectfully .
“Is this true?” Shi Mu looked at the round face youth with surprise .
“Of course! I tried this herb for the past few days . Unfortunately, the potency is not enough but for an Earth-grade herb, it’s more than enough and at its peak . ”
“Brother Qin Shi is one of the most famous masters of alchemy here . He’s able to refine any Xiantian-level medicinal herbs,” the attendant with eyeshadow said .
“The remedy you speak of, may I have a look at it?” Shi Mu asked .
“Of course . Please come with me,” the round-faced youth said as he led Shi Mu into an empty vacant room .
“Oh, may I ask for your name?” the youth asked .
“My name is Shi Mu . ”
“Ah, it turns out to be brother Shi Mu . I can’t say much about myself but this is the Yang Zhi Pill that I recently refined . It’s made from nineteen kinds of yang materials through the Yang Primordial fire,” the round-faced youth said as he took out a white jade bottle and handed it over to Shi Mu .
As soon as Shi Mu opened the lid, a faint red light and heat radiated from it .
Shi Mu’s face changed slightly . Within the thumb-sized jade bottle, a fiery red herb was rolling in it like a small red flame .
He was happy . Even without pouring it out, the quality of this herb was definitely beyond his expectations .
Shi Mu immediately dumped the medicinal herbs out of the jade bottle and took a closer look at it .
“Not bad,” Shi Mu nodded with delight and put the herbs back into the jade bottle .
“This pill had just been refined so it’s not listed in the market yet . It’s not that I’m ignorant to announce this but if I were to let everyone know, it would cause a sensation,” the young man’s face showed a faint smile as he said with confidence .
“Well then, what price are you willing to take for this pill then?” Shi Mu smiled and shook his jade bottle as he questioned .
“Mysterious point for each pill . . ” the round-faced youth showed five fingers as he said .
Shi Mu furrowed his brows . This was quite costly for a yang-attribute medicinal herb . However, if there was a sufficient supply of, it would be helpful in his cultivation of the Art of Breeding A Strong Evil Ape .
Shi Mu remained silent for a moment before asking once again .
“May I know how many you have in your possession?”
The youth’s face had a visibly delighted expression . With such a question asked by Shi Mu, there seemed to be a sense of hope for him to gain a fortune from him .
“I’ve refined almost five hundred pills for now . ”
“Well, I’d like to purchase all of them,” Shi Mu said categorically .
“No problem! Seeing brother Shi Mu purchase so many medicinal herbs, it seems that you’re eager to progress in your training . I also have a type of herb called the Clear-Boned Purifying Pill . This pill can help increase the chance of breaking the Earth level by more than 30 percent . I wonder, is brother Shi Mu interested?” the round-faced youth said, overjoyed .
Shi Mu was intrigued .
