Chapter 417: Chapter 201: First Arrival in the Eastern Domain, Xilai Country, Vast Sea Ring

’Wow, not only was the price halved, but they also took another ten percent off.’

"Huh?"

He had assumed all the elixirs here would be reasonably priced, but he was surprised to find that the price of the Vascular Protection Pill seemed off.

"A thousand Spirit Stones per pill? For real?"

As a lesser substitute for the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Vascular Protection Pill only protected a cultivator’s heart meridian from damage if they failed to break through to Foundation Establishment, allowing them to try again.

Xiao Chen remembered that back in the Southern Domain, they usually sold for only seven or eight hundred Spirit Stones.

He never expected them to be even more expensive in the Eastern Domain than in the Southern Domain.

After all, the raw materials for the Vascular Protection Pill didn’t include any rare treasures like the Five-Colored Golden Lotus. Although the cost wasn’t low, all the ingredients could be cultivated in a Spirit Field.

He walked to the top of the stairs and asked a Host, "Excuse me, do you sell the Spirit Grass needed to refine the Vascular Protection Pill?"

"One moment, sir. I’ll go ask for you."

The Host hurried down to the first floor and returned with a manager. "My apologies, but the Spirit Grass for the Vascular Protection Pill is sold out."

"And we’re out of this year’s supply as well."

"If you need some, sir, you may have to pre-order a share of next year’s harvest."

’What?’

The Ten Thousand Immortals Tower was a time-honored establishment with branches all over the Eastern Domain. It was no exaggeration to say they had tens of thousands of chain stores. How could they possibly be sold out?

Sized up by Xiao Chen’s incredulous gaze, the manager seemed a bit embarrassed.

He explained softly, "Please don’t misunderstand, sir. We aren’t the only ones who are sold out."

"The market for the Vascular Protection Pill suddenly skyrocketed the year before last, and all the other shops have long since run out of stock."

"Before next year’s Spirit Medicines are harvested, there will be basically no related Spirit Grass circulating on the market."

He thought for a moment, then added, "If you’re in urgent need, sir, we can arrange a bounty through our main headquarters."

"The Hundred Herbs Secret Realm happens to be opening this November, so some Spirit Grass might become available for sale then."

Behind the Ten Thousand Immortals Tower was the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

These so-called bounties weren’t just for people; they could also be for items. It was essentially the same as posting a commission with the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was an enormous Loose Cultivator Alliance, with members spread across nearly the entire Eastern Domain.

Its headquarters was located in the Ten Thousand Immortals Archipelago, southeast of Ten Thousand Immortals Island in the Jingkong Sea.

Many travelogues mentioned that the Ten Thousand Immortals Archipelago truly consisted of tens of thousands of islands, and almost every single one was inhabited by cultivators.

Many years ago, some busybody had calculated that there were over twenty thousand Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the entire archipelago.

On some of the larger islands with Tier Three Spirit Veins, there were even Golden Core families.

As the saying goes, with so many cultivators, some were bound to be exceptionally gifted.

An unknown number of years ago, a local Nascent Soul True Monarch emerged from the Ten Thousand Immortals Archipelago. He took the lead in establishing an alliance to unite Loose Cultivators and resist the oppression of the other Sects.

Although his idea was good and quickly garnered the support of numerous Loose Cultivators, due to a lack of high-end Combat Power and chaotic, divided internal opinions, the alliance ultimately failed to absorb the other Sects.

However, the basic framework of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance survived, gradually evolving into a unique faction without an Alliance Leader.

Or rather, it was more like a semi-public platform with a bounty system.

"Then never mind. Do you have any Storage Rings for sale here?"

Since the Vascular Protection Pill was a dead end, Xiao Chen turned his attention to his real business.

The manager’s tone immediately became three parts more respectful. "Our shop currently only has Tier Three Storage Rings. Which kind would our esteemed customer be interested in?"

Here in the Eastern Domain, there were also Tier Two Storage Rings for Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

But their price was even higher than Tier Three Storage Rings, and they usually had to be custom-ordered.

"A Tier Three Storage Ring is exactly what I want."

Xiao Chen pressed, "What kinds do you have in stock? How large is the internal space, and how many Spirit Stones do they cost?"

"This way, esteemed customer!"

The manager couldn’t help but bow a little deeper. "We currently have two models of Storage Rings in the shop: the renowned Vast Sea Ring and the specially customized Xilai Ring."

"The Vast Sea Ring has a space of ten yards square and sells for three hundred thousand Spirit Stones. There are no discounts on it at the moment."

"The Xilai Ring has a space of eight feet square and sells for forty thousand Spirit Stones."

"And you get a ten percent discount if you purchase it this month."

’Jeez, that’s not cheap at all.’

"I’ll take the Vast Sea Ring, then. Please bring it out."

An eight-foot space was too small, so Xiao Chen simply chose the larger one.
