Chapter 368: Chapter 359: Holy Medicine?

"These..."

When the servant saw clearly the herbs that Mo Wangchen had pointed out, he was obviously stunned for a moment. He looked up at Mo Wangchen with some surprise in his eyes, "These are the highest-level herbs, each worth a fortune. Are you certain these are what you want..."

Normally, patrons who came to the Medicine Pavilion mostly purchased pills. Rarely would someone come like Mo Wangchen to buy herbs, and even if someone did, they would only purchase some ordinary herbs. Who would be like Mo Wangchen, buying so many high-level herbs all at once?

But that wasn’t all, he was buying ten portions!

"Yes, these ones," Mo Wangchen said.

After getting confirmation, the servant was even more surprised, but at the same time, his attitude towards Mo Wangchen became much more respectful. Each of these herbs was extremely rare, worth a fortune. To be able to afford several stalks, one had to be either very wealthy or very noble, and at this moment, Mo Wangchen was buying ten portions all at once, so it was clear what kind of a patron was sitting before him!

Could he be the young master of one of those ancient martial families?

But even for an ancient martial family, buying so many high-level herbs at once might be a bit painful, right?

Although puzzled in his heart, the servant did not dare to ask more questions. Respectfully, he asked Mo Wangchen to wait here for a moment and then retreated.

Not long after, the servant led an elderly man with white whiskers over.

"Is this the young friend who wishes to purchase herbs?" The old man approached Mo Wangchen, glanced him up and down, and then cupped his hands courteously as he spoke, "I am the Pavilion Master of this Medicine Pavilion. The herbs that young friend needs are available in the pavilion, but we don’t have enough stock for ten portions..."

Pavilion Master?

Upon hearing the old man’s words, Mo Wangchen was slightly taken aback. Before entering, he had also inquired and learned that the Pavilion Master here was named Xiao Buxi, known as Elder Xiao, an eighth-grade alchemist. To stand his ground in the strong Eastern Desolate, Elder Xiao was not just a simple eighth-grade alchemist.

It was rumored that he was also a Guest Supreme Elder of the hidden sect Purple Mist Sect in the Eastern Desolate and simultaneously a Guest Alchemist, one generation below the Purple Mist Saint Venerable.

With such an identity, the Medicine Pavilion naturally rose with the tide. Even in the Eastern Desolate, a place abundant with powerful individuals, it was a giant entity.

"How long would it take to gather ten portions of herbs?" After pondering for a moment, Mo Wangchen inquired. Now he urgently needed to concoct some Nirvana Pills for use during cultivation.

After all, there was only one year left until the Hidden Dragon Academy opened its doors, and in this year, he needed to quickly improve his cultivation. Otherwise, when he arrived at the Hidden Dragon Academy, a place filled with gifted individuals, it simply wouldn’t do if his strength was too low.

Elder Xiao pondered for a moment then said, "At the quickest, it would take four or five days..."

"Four or five days..."

Mo Wangchen frowned slightly. This was a bit too long. Although he had the Hidden Dragon Token and had already become a chosen disciple of the Hidden Dragon Academy, making the Eastern Desolate Demon Clan reluctant to act, staying in the Eastern Desolate for too long was still not very safe.

But now, what Mo Wangchen feared most was that, according to rumors, the Yao Clan had awakened an elder-like figure, a peak of Saint Venerable existence. If the other party decided to act regardless of everything, it would certainly be very troublesome for himself.

"To not hide from the young friend, these herbs are extremely valuable. Under normal circumstances, we would not easily sell them, and they are not sold in the form of gold coins either," Elder Xiao said.

"Not accepting gold coins?"

Mo Wangchen was slightly stunned, looking at him in confusion. "Then what do you accept?"

"Source Stones!" Elder Xiao replied thus.

"Source Stones..."

Mo Wangchen clicked his tongue, but this was understandable. These were herbs used to concoct ninth-grade pills, and at this level, their value could no longer be measured with gold coins.

Moreover, with Elder Xiao being a Guest Supreme Elder of the Purple Mist Sect, if the Medicine Pavilion didn’t have enough stock, there was only one possibility—other herbs must be stored within the Purple Mist Sect.

Being one of the hidden sects, for them, gold coins were just a concept. Only Source Stones could attract their attention.

However, back then, in the Reincarnation Mountain Range, when he was breaking into the Holy Rank Divine King Body, all his Source Stones were used up, not a single one was left.

After a long silence, Mo Wangchen finally stood up and looked at Elder Xiao, asking, "Pavilion Master Xiao, are the other herbs currently stored within the Purple Mist Sect?"

Hearing this, Elder Xiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"If I accompany you to the Purple Mist Sect to exchange for the herbs, how long would it take?"

"A day would be enough, but..."

Elder Xiao finished speaking, then his gaze once again scrutinized Mo Wangchen, "These herbs are extremely precious. One herb would require nearly a hundred Source Stones for an exchange, and considering this young friend pointed out six kinds of herbs, a total of ten portions would amount to sixty herbs, and at least several thousand Source Stones would be needed..."

Several thousand Source Stones, such a quantity, would definitely be a sky-high price in present-day Tiannan!

One must know, in Beiming, even those hidden sects and ancient martial families only had a supply of a few hundred Source Stones at best. The Eastern Desolate was much more prosperous than Beiming, yet even so, several thousand Source Stones would be something that no force could easily bring forth.

Currently, Elder Xiao was patiently explaining to Mo Wangchen because, in his perspective, after learning the value of these herbs, Mo Wangchen still intended to make a purchase, suggesting he must be a genius from the Outer Realm!

Previously, Tiannan was sealed by a barrier, making the formation of Source Stones extremely difficult, thus increasing their rarity. But the Outer World was different; there, Source Stones were not as scarce as in Tiannan.

And with Tiannan opening up the Starry Sky Ancient Road, a large influx of Outer Realm practitioners arrived, making the once rare Source Stones less precious. Previously, the herbs Mo Wangchen wanted to buy could have been purchased for a thousand Source Stones, but now, due to the removal of the barrier, the price had soared to several thousand Source Stones.

"Several thousand Source Stones..."

As soon as Source Stones were mentioned, Mo Wangchen felt a headache once more. At this point, he didn’t have a single Source Stone left.

"I have a Holy Medicine here. Please, Pavilion Master Xiao, take a look to see if it could be exchanged for those herbs." After much contemplation, Mo Wangchen took out a Holy Medicine from his storage space.

This was something he had obtained back in the Emperor Fallen Mountain Range, where he had over a hundred stocks, his foundation.

"Holy Medicine?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Xiao was stunned for a moment but instinctively accepted the special "herb" handed over by Mo Wangchen.

After examining it carefully for a while, a look of shock appeared on his face, "Isn’t this a..."
