The two of them wandered on the road for a long time and didn’t see anything else. After all, the resources they could use in the secular world were not everywhere. Finally, Li Tianyan took Cheng Qi into the largest store in Yuncheng—a trading store called Lu Qi Trading Store.
Different from the other shops they just looked at, Lu Qi Trading Store occupied an entire independent three-story building on this street. The waiters in the business were all young and beautiful women, wearing the uniforms of the business. The service did look a bit unique.
Lu Qi Trading Store sold relatively high-quality and relatively expensive goods. What Yuncheng was most had was rich people. From a distance, they could already see many well-dressed people coming in and out of the door of the trading store.

“What are you two looking for?” The waitress could tell that the two of them were from Jincheng just from their clothes. She also saw that they had no vitality at all, and there was no enthusiasm on their faces.
Li Tianyan asked straight to the point, “I have something that I would like to deposit in your auction to participate in the bidding. Is it possible?”
“Our trading store will only display precious and fine items in this auction. If you have treasures that you would like to participate in the bidding, it can only be confirmed after being identified by the manager of our business.” The waitress didn’t take it seriously when she heard what the other party said and emphasized the word “treasure.”
“Then please introduce me.” Li Tianyan didn’t care about the other party’s attitude.
Seeing that he was not dissuaded by her words, the waitress couldn’t help frowning and looking at him. Thinking of the rules of the business, she reluctantly said, “Come with me.” After saying this, the waitress took the lead, walking upstairs. Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi followed closely behind and did not stop until they reached a room on the third floor.
“Manager Zhang, here is a guest who wants to store items for auction.” The waitress knocked on the door twice and explained her purpose straightforwardly.
The steward sitting in the room was a gray-haired man. When he heard the voice, he raised his head and glanced at the two of them, then waved to the waitress, “I understand, you can go downstairs to do your work first.”
“Yes.” The waitress responded without even saying hello to the two of them, then turned around and went downstairs.
.
“I wonder what this guest wants to send for the auction?” The steward waited for the waiter to leave before asking the man in front of him.
Li Tianyan sat down opposite the steward, took out a bottle, and placed it on the table. “This contains a Soaring Pill, which can help ninth-level peak warriors advance to innate realm.”
The steward’s face initially showed impatience, but when he realized what the other party was saying, he looked at the two people opposite him again in surprise. He then picked up the bottle on the table, opened it, poured out a round pill inside, and a scent of pill fire also wafted out.
Manager Zhang was very familiar with this kind of pill, but... “Young master, I only know that there is a Barrier-Breaking Pill in Jincheng, which can help eighth-level warriors advance, but I have never heard of a Soaring Pill.”
“This Soaring Pill is different from the Barrier-Breaking Pill. It’s the same kind of medicinal pill, but the level of the medicinal pill used in it is different, so the effect is naturally different.” Li Tianyan heard that the steward knew about the Barrier-Breaking Pill and replied calmly with a smile on his face.
“Your Excellency, are you Pharmacist Li who lives in Fenglong Mountain in the suburbs of Shanxi?” Manager Zhang asked, stroking the beard on his chin, but the words he spoke were extremely sure.
Li Tianyan didn’t hide it. Anyway, it wouldn’t take long for someone to know about his presence in Yuncheng. “Exactly.”
“I didn’t expect that it was Pharmacist Li who came to visit. I’m disrespectful.” Manager Zhang heard the other party’s admission and bowed his hands in apology.
Not long after the Alchemy Pavilion in Jincheng opened, their trading s
tore took notice. Even the medicinal pill managers studied it one by one, admiring the pharmacists behind the scenes.
It was a pity that everyone knew this pharmacist didn’t receive guests behind closed doors, making it not easy to meet him. The manager did not expect that this person would come to his door automatically today.
“Manager Zhang is too polite. I wonder if my medicinal pill is qualified to participate in this auction?” Li Tianyan politely spoke and then steered the conversation back to the topic.
This was a rare large-scale auction, and with innate warriors from other towns attending, Li Tianyan also wanted to use this opportunity to promote his new medicinal pill.
“If the Soaring Sky Pill can really achieve the effect of the Barrier-Breaking Pill, it will be fine. But this is the first time I have seen this Soaring Pill. I’m afraid I have to ask first.” Manager Zhang hesitated, not daring to make a decision immediately. If it weren’t for the Alchemy Pavilion success with the Barrier-Breaking Pill in front, he might have dismissed the Soaring Pill as a potential scam.
As Manager Zhang finished speaking, another voice came from the door, “No need to ask; our store collects these medicinal pills.”
When Manager Zhang saw the visitor, he immediately stood up and saluted respectfully, “The Young Master Lu is here.”
Li Tianyan already knew the identity of the visitor upon hearing the steward’s name. He had heard Guan Haoran mention that Lu Jinghuai, the young owner of Lu Qi Trading Store, was not only top-notch in business skills but also extremely talented in martial arts, having reached the peak of the ninth level of acquired warrior.
The aura of the person in front of him matched the rumors, but when Li Tianyan took a closer look, he found that the other person seemed a little uneasy.
“It turns out to be the young master of Lu family.” Li Tianyan said to Lu Jinghuai with his hands clasped in fists.
“This Lu has heard about Pharmacist Li’s name for a long time but has never had the chance to meet him. It’s an honor to meet him today.” Lu Jinghuai also cupped his fists and returned the greeting to Li Tianyan.
