On the streets of Cyan Profound Mansion, Chu Nan and Zheng Yao strolled side by side leisurely.

Jiang Yixing wanted to change his weapons, so he went to the Spirit Martial shop of Cyan Profound Mansion to broaden his horizons.

Chu Nan had a refined King's grade Willow Branch Sword, which surpassed most martial artists, so he didn't need to go there.

Zheng Yao seemed uninterested in spirit martial items as well and stayed by Chu Nan's side.

Chu Nan scanned his surroundings while communicating with Kui Guang through his spiritual sense.

The larger the place, the more opportunities and chances. Chu Nan hoped that Kui Guang's vision could help him find opportunities that were difficult for ordinary people to discover.

Suddenly, Lin Mu sensed a fragrance of spirit plants wafting in, instantly piquing his interest.

He had never smelled such a rich scent of spirit plants before, so he looked at the shop emitting the fragrance and said, "Senior Sister Zheng Yao, let's go in and take a look."

"Okay." Zheng Yao nodded and followed Chu Nan inside.

The shop was large, with exquisite decorations; even the floor tiles reflected people's images, showcasing the owner's grandeur.

But after entering the shop, Chu Nan oddly found that there were very few items for sale, only clusters of grape-like spirit fruits housed in golden transparent cabinets hanging on the walls.

Chu Nan looked curious, as it was his first time seeing such an unusual shop.

There weren't many people in the shop, only a few scattered individuals examining the grape-like spirit fruits, mostly with conflicted or struggling expressions on their faces.

As for the attendant at the counter, he remained expressionless throughout.

Chu Nan and Zheng Yao were ignored as they entered.

Zheng Yao glanced at the spirit fruits and curiously asked, "Chu Nan, what are these?"

Chu Nan didn't know either, so he used his spiritual sense to ask Kui Guang, hoping to get an answer from him.

Kui Guang's knowledge was beyond Chu Nan's imagination, and he quickly explained, "This is called Reishi Mushroom, not worth mentioning to me, but it is relatively precious to you now."

"This fruit requires very specific conditions to grow and cannot be easily preserved. If not stored with special tools, it will rot within a few days of being picked."

Chu Nan slightly frowned, feeling that this fruit might be useless to him after all.

But soon, Kui Guang added, "However, the Reishi Mushroom is not only very delicious but also serves to purify impurities within the body."

"For example, you've absorbed many spirit plants and Demon Beast blood, inevitably leaving some hard-to-detect impurities in your body. A small amount isn't a big deal, but excess might cause hidden ailments."

"Consuming this Reishi Mushroom can prevent this, the more you eat, the better the effect."

Upon hearing this, Chu Nan's eyes brightened, and his interest was instantly aroused.

He practiced the Nine Desolate Profound Transformation, which made it unavoidable to devour various spirit plants and Demon Beast bloodlines, and the Reishi Mushroom could eliminate the residual impurities, greatly benefiting him.

Chu Nan decided to purchase some to see their effectiveness.

He also shared the Reishi Mushroom's benefits with Zheng Yao.

Zheng Yao showed interest and immediately said, "Then let's buy some; removing impurities from our bodies can also enhance our physique."

"But I wonder how they are sold?"

Chu Nan looked towards the shop attendant and approached him to inquire, "Excuse me, how are the Reishi Mushrooms sold?"

The attendant glanced at Chu Nan, not even looking directly, and arrogantly asked, "Judging by your appearance, you must be from the Commandery City, yet you know about Reishi Mushrooms, so you have some knowledge."

Seeing the attendant's disdainful attitude, Chu Nan felt slightly displeased but still patiently asked, "I want to buy some Reishi Mushrooms, how are they sold?"

The attendant coldly raised a finger and said, "One thousand gold!"

Chu Nan was a bit speechless, it turned out to be just a thousand gold per cluster, he thought it would be more expensive.

Before coming to the Cyan Profound Mansion, he had prepared plenty of silver coins, including spoils from killing enemies and gifts from Chen Kaiyang before departure, his family also gave him a lot, totaling up to one hundred thousand gold.

Zheng Yao was also a bit surprised, only a mere thousand gold, although she didn't have a hundred thousand, she had saved up one or two thousand.

So, before Chu Nan could make a move, she took out three thousand gold notes and handed them to the attendant, saying, "Three portions of Reishi Mushrooms, we'll take them."

Chu Nan understood that Zheng Yao intended for each of them to have a portion.

He didn't rush to pay; three thousand gold wasn't necessary, he could make it up to her later.

The attendant single-handedly took the gold notes, then went behind the counter, solemnly using three keys to open a cabinet.

He carefully picked three Reishi Mushrooms from a cluster with a plate and a toothpick, placing them on the plate.

He then locked the cabinet door in one swift motion.

When the attendant placed the plate with the three Reishi Mushrooms in front of Chu Nan, he was stunned.

Zheng Yao widened her eyes and looked at the attendant, asking, "What does this mean?"

"Don't understand?" The attendant looked at Zheng Yao with disdain, then said, "Country bumpkins from Commandery City, one thousand gold buys you just one, if you want a full portion, that's twenty thousand gold, thinking you can get three portions for three thousand gold, do you think we're doing charity here?"

The attendant's voice was loud, quickly attracting many glances. Seeing Chu Nan and Zheng Yao looking at the plate, there was immediate laughter.

"The lowly ones from Commandery City, Reishi Mushrooms are so invaluable; you think you have the qualification to eat them, better leave quickly." someone waved dismissively at Chu Nan, scornfully.

The condition and strength of the Cyan Profound Mansion far exceeded that of Green Mountain Commandery, and martial artists living here naturally had a sense of superiority over those from lower cities and counties.

The attendant further provoked by looking at the generous Zheng Yao, saying, "Young lady, can you afford twenty thousand gold?"

"Though with your looks, if you go to Cuiyun Building to sell yourself, maybe you could earn twenty thousand!"

Hahaha~

In an instant, the shop was filled with laughter again.

From the attendant's perspective, he wouldn't dare to offend those from Cyan Profound Mansion, but he figured martial artists from the Commandery City rarely had any background, so even if bullied, they wouldn't dare to speak up, thus behaving recklessly.

Zheng Yao felt her face flush with embarrassment at the laughter, the attendant was not wrong; she couldn't afford twenty thousand gold at once.

She really wanted to slap down a twenty-thousand gold note to prove herself, but unfortunately, she didn't have it.

And Chu Nan, being so insulted, inevitably showed an unpleasant expression.

Twenty thousand gold wasn't unaffordable for him, but he despised the attendant's arrogant attitude and the humiliation towards Zheng Yao.

So Chu Nan, with a tone slightly tinged with coldness, said, "It's only twenty thousand gold, nothing to me."

"But if I bought it from you, could your Reishi Mushrooms be preserved?"

The Reishi Mushrooms are extremely perishable, losing potency and becoming rotten with the slightest carelessness.

This was what Kui Guang told Chu Nan.

The attendant snorted coldly, disdainfully saying, "This shop is authorized by the Mansion Master, would it sell you spoiled Reishi Mushrooms?"

But Chu Nan ignored the statement, his face bearing a cold smile, asked, "I'm asking you, can these Reishi Mushrooms be preserved?"
