470 Conscription (1)
“Four portions of dragon liver and two portions of Phoenix Eye Soup would be more than six hundred thousand yuan. You also ate more than twenty dragon and phoenix dishes which are not cheap either. This price is worth it, isn’t it?”
Shopkeeper He explained.
“Then I can only sell Dharma treasures and pills. Can I deduct it directly?”
Song Shi was so poor that he only had Dharma treasures and pills left. Indeed, he did not have any more spirit stones.
“Of course. Treasures can be exchanged for items. At most, they can be priced with spirit stones.”
Shopkeeper He nodded.
Song Shi took out the seven items he had recently drawn. Three of them had not been taken out. One was the supreme-grade spirit stones that he had already used. One was the Profound Heaven Dragon Slaying Saber that he was prepared to keep for use. The other was a cultivation technique-type shadow clone secret technique. He wanted to cultivate this secret technique alone.
As for these seven items, there were Dharma treasures, elixirs, spiritual fruits, talismans, and so on. Their value varied, but Song Shi did not seem to care. He casually threw them on the table.
Shopkeeper He took a glance and stood up from the table in surprise. He immediately picked up the top-grade sacred medicine that Song Shi cared about the least.
This was a dark green herb that looked like jade. It was about an inch long and had three leaves. The slender leaves contained rich vitality.
“Fellow Daoist Song, are you really going to use such a treasure as a mean of payment?”
He asked, “Just this high-grade saint herb, the Life Prolonging Grass, is worth a million yuan. It’s equivalent to more than half of the bill.”
“Take it. It won’t be of much use if you leave it with me.”
Song Shi did not care. This herb had the effect of reviving the dead. To others, it was something that could only be chanced upon by luck, but to him…
It was useless. At most, he would leave it for his family and friends. However, his family and friends were still in the lower realm and did not need such precious things for the time being.
“Then can I choose to use this as a deduction?” Shopkeeper He was delighted. This kind of life-saving sacred medicine could only be chanced upon by luck. He really wanted to keep it.
“Take it. There’s still more than two hundred thousand yuan left on the bill. Continue to pick what you want to deduct.”
Song Shi said generously. To him, these treasures were just worldly possessions. It was not as satisfying as eating delicacies.
“The bill is almost all deducted. Actually, I’ve eaten this herb before. This thing itself is extremely premium. Moreover if it’s combined with other medicinal herbs to refine into a medicinal pill, its value can even increase tenfold. It’s completely enough to settle your bill.”
Shopkeeper He did not take anything else. In his eyes, the Life Prolonging Grass was worth more than a million supreme-grade Spiritual Stones.
“The value of the elixir is so great?”
Song Shi’s eyes moved. A tenfold increase meant that it was worth ten million high-grade spirit stones. He could eat and drink like this for ten meals!
“Of course, the higher the level of the medicinal pill, the more precious it is.”
Shopkeeper He smiled and said, “Our Seven-colored Tower knows many high-level alchemists who can fully utilize the value of this sacred medicine, so we definitely won’t lose out.”
“Alright, then I won’t stand on ceremony. I’ll come to your place to eat again if I have the chance in the future.”
Song Shi smiled as he put the item away. However, he kept the matter of refining pills in mind.
He had long drawn books related to alchemy, but he didn’t need them usually, so he didn’t waste time studying them.
Now that he realized that this Skill was very suitable to earn money, and he could eat and drink like this when he earned money, he immediately became interested.
“Actually, with Fellow Daoist Song’s strength, you can accept some Quests and earn more Spirit Stones. It’s ultimately a loss to rely on Dharma treasures and Holy Medicine.”
Shopkeeper He said kindly, “Recently, the demons have been restless and many demons have been causing trouble. Fellow Daoist, if you can ensure your own safety, you can try to kill the demons to exchange for resources. In addition, communicate more with Fellow Daoist Huo Yan and you can obtain a lot of useful information.”
Song Shi nodded. “I’ll remember that. Thank you, Brother He!”
The relationship between the two of them had imperceptibly become much closer.
Shopkeeper He put away the sacred medicine and cupped his fists. “I won’t disturb Fellow Daoist Song’s rest. If Fellow Daoist Song has any problems in the future, you can come to the Rainbow Pavilion to look for me. Even if I can’t help, I can at least give you some advice.”
“I have something on. I wonder if Brother He has heard of Sage King Lang Ya?”
Song Shi felt that this guy was knowledgeable, so he asked about this matter.
“Sage King Lang Ya? A human?”
“Yes.”
Song Shi nodded.
Shopkeeper He pondered for a moment and shook his head. “I’ve never heard of it. Perhaps he’s not in the Flowing Light Continent. Fellow Daoist, you can go to other regions to ask. The human race is quite spread out.”
The Flowing Light Continent was the continent where the Vermilion Bird Tribe was located. It was located in the southern part of the Mystic Spirit Realm and belonged to one of the nine continents of the Black Spirit Realm. The Rainbow Pavilion Master was only situated in this continent, so he only knew most of the matters in this world.
“Yeah, of course.”
Song Shi did not ask further. He sat cross-legged on the ground and began to meditate.
He had eaten too much and there was a huge amount of energy waiting to be refined in his body. If he didn’t cultivate now, he felt that he would explode.
As soon as the cultivation technique was circulated, Song Shi’s body emitted tens of thousands of rays of light. The sound of dragons and phoenixes echoed as the phenomenon of a golden dragon and phoenix appeared on his body. The dragon returned to his body, and the phoenix entered his eyes. His bones, muscles, and flesh were transforming, and his life level was changing slightly.
This was the third time he had evolved in his life level recently.
Song Shi was surprised. “The dragon and phoenix races are indeed at a higher level of vitality. Just by eating a little, I feel like I’ve obtained great benefits.”
He realized that his flesh and blood had become more active, his muscles and bones stronger, and his vision had also improved a lot. This dragon and phoenix meat was not as simple as increasing his vitality.
At this moment, the phenomenon of a dragon and phoenix also appeared on Huo Yan’s body as she began to digest the dragon liver and phoenix eyes she had eaten.
The private dining cubicle fell silent. The purple light carried a comfortable fluctuation. A man and a bird were enjoying the benefits of the delicious food they had inside.
When Song Shi ended, his cultivation level had unknowingly increased by a notch. He was about to break through again.
