Starting from helping someone rob a wedding, he was forced to hide in the Sunset Sect

Qianba Prefecture, Qianluo City.

The city gate was open, and through the gate one could see a broad main road, with rows of shops standing on both sides of the road.

The sun's soft rays shine on the avenue, making the tall shop signs and bright flags particularly dazzling.

There were endless horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians on the streets, and there were many vendors with big umbrellas on the open spaces on both sides of the streets, hawking all kinds of goods.

Along the avenue, one can see unique teahouses, pubs, workshops and inns.

In the teahouse, the aroma of tea is everywhere, and guests are sitting around small tables, sipping tea and chatting.

In the pub, the smell of wine was curling up, and the drinkers were drinking and singing, with laughter and chattering everywhere.

In the workshop, craftsmen are busy creating various exquisite handicrafts.

In the inn, travelers from all over the world stop here to rest and share their adventures and experiences.

This was Xia Xiaomo's first time in a big city, and she couldn't help but sigh at the huge difference between the county town and here.

A county town may only have a few cultivators, or even no cultivator at all, but it is different in Qianluo City. Xia Xiaomo will meet a cultivator every time she walks a distance.

Most of these cultivators are at the Qi Refining Stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage. There are not many cultivators at the Foundation Breaking Stage like her walking around in Qianluo City.

After asking a monk about the location of the shop in Yaowang Valley, she went to the shop.

Xia Xiaomo walked into the shop in Yaowang Valley, and a fresh fragrance hit her face, mixed with the aroma of various herbs, floating in the air.

The store displays a variety of elixirs, which are carefully placed on carved wooden shelves. Each elixir has different effects, attracting monks to come and watch.

The store was crowded with people in various attire, including cultivators, doctors, and ordinary people.

In the shops of Medicine King Valley, one can not only buy various herbs and finished pills for alchemy, but also find some ordinary earthly medicinal materials.

This is the main reason why Medicine King Valley ranks fourth. The shop is not only open to monks, but also provides medicinal materials to ordinary people. This makes the reputation of Medicine King Valley rank first among the top ten sects.

If we really have to rank them according to the realm of elders and sect masters, Yaowang Valley can only be ranked tenth from the bottom.

Next to the shop counter, two alchemists in fancy clothes were introducing elixirs to a customer.

"The Heart Purifying Pill is one of the signature pills of Medicine King Valley. It is mainly made from precious medicinal materials such as century-old Ganoderma lucidum and five-leaf clover. It has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, and calming the mind. It can assist in cultivation and improve cultivation."

"This is a medicinal herb called Biluo Grass. It has the effect of concentrating the mind and gathering energy, and can also assist in cultivation."

The two alchemists introduced everything to this cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage with their rich knowledge and experience.

To put it simply, it means selling products!

People will buy qi-replenishing pills and healing pills without any promotion, but other pills and herbs need to be promoted manually, otherwise they will be difficult to sell.

A young alchemist came up to Xia Xiaomo and asked, "Hello, fellow Taoist, I'm glad to serve you. What do you need to buy?"

"I need mist grass, mercury flower and benzoin. Do you have these three herbs here?" Xia Xiaomo asked.

"We only have fog grass and mercury flowers here. Recently, a cultivator in the Golden Core Realm came here and bought up all the benzoin. We are out of stock for the time being."

"Ten stalks of mist water grass and ten mercury flowers, how many spirit stones do they cost?"

The young alchemist thought about it and wondered if these were the herbs needed to make the Past Recall Pill. They were exactly two portions of the herbs.

The third-level cultivator in front of her actually wanted to buy this kind of medicinal herb. According to her senior brothers and sisters, she might not be able to sell many plants of Misty Water Grass and Mercury Flower in a year.

These two herbs also have other uses, but there are better alternatives, and no one would use them to refine Past Recall Pills, so only a few could be sold.

"Originally, we needed 300 low-grade spirit stones, but because you are a cultivator in the third realm, we will give you a 95% discount, so we only charge 285 low-grade spirit stones."

Spirit stones are one of the indispensable resources for cultivators to practice and refine weapons, and they are divided into four grades according to their quality: low grade, medium grade, high grade and top grade.

One hundred low-grade spirit stones are equivalent to one medium-grade spirit stone, one hundred medium-grade spirit stones are equivalent to one high-grade spirit stone, and so on.

Low-grade spirit stones are the most commonly used currency for transactions among cultivators in the first three realms, and cultivators in the first three realms account for 90% of the immortal world.

Most cultivators spend their entire lives cultivating only to the Foundation Breaking Stage, and only a few are able to break through to a higher level.

Xia Xiaomo took out three medium-grade spirit stones and placed them in her hands.

"I'll go get the mist grass and mercury flowers for the guests. Please wait!"

Today I managed to sell all the herbs that I couldn’t sell normally. I think my seniors will praise me for this.

With this thought in mind, she entered the storage room at the back of the shop and looked for these two herbs. Some herbs that no customers bought were placed in the storage room at the back of the shop.

Soon, the young alchemist returned to Xia Xiaomo.

"Fellow Daoist, these are the herbs you requested. I put them in this bag for you. You can check them."

Xia Xiaomo opened the bag, counted carefully, and then nodded.

The young alchemist put another small bag in Xia Xiaomo's hand: "This is the low-grade spirit stone I'm looking for you. If you need anything next time, you can come to our store in Medicine King Valley again."

"Thank you. I will come again if I need anything. Can I ask you something?" Xia Xiaomo asked.

"Fellow Daoist, if I knew, I would tell you. Of course, the secrets of our store are not to be disclosed to outsiders."

In fact, there are no secrets in their shop, but the seniors all told customers this way, so she learned to do the same.

"I would like to ask you where I can get benzoin, or where I can buy this herb in Qianluo City?" Xia Xiaomo asked.

The alchemist smiled, and she thought it was some kind of problem.

"You've asked the right person! You can go and exchange with the female cultivators of the Yuqing Sect. They all carry benzoin, which is the most famous herb of the Yuqing Sect." The alchemist paused and continued, "A few days ago, a female disciple of the Yuqing Sect came to our store to buy pills. I wonder if she is still in the city."

Xia Xiaomo thought that it would not be easy to find a female monk in such a big city.

"The female monks of Yuqing Sect wear plain light pink clothes and have a bun with pink petals on their heads. This is the characteristic of their sect's female monks and is easy to recognize," the alchemist added.

Xia Xiaomo breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, such clothing was not common in the world of cultivation and was easy to recognize.

"Thank you. I also want to ask you about the location of Yuqing Sect." Xia Xiaomo asked again.

Even if you can't find the female disciples of Yuqing Sect, you can go directly to Yuqing Sect to ask.

"Yuqing Sect is quite far from Qianluo City. With your cultivation level, you can reach it in a few hours. I will give you a map, but of course it won't cost you any money."

She took out a map from her storage ring and drew a circle on it with a pen to indicate the location of Yuqing Sect.

Xia Xiaomo took the map, thanked him, and left the shop in Yaowang Valley.
