Shen Luo sighed inwardly and immediately steered the flying boat towards Luo Star City.
At this time, Bai Xiaotian was not on board, as he was at a critical moment in his research of the purple poison fog and needed to conduct some experiments, so Shen Luo had him enter the Heavenly Book Space.
As they flew a distance forward, streaks of escape lights began to appear in the sky. The closer they got to Luo Star City, the denser these lights became, as if a myriad of immortals were paying homage.
Seeing this scene, Shen Luo couldn't help but marvel and then sped up the flying boat, soon arriving above Luo Star City.
There were no flying prohibitions above Luo Star City, and unlike Chang'an City, where every cultivator had to register, these escape lights descended directly into the city.
“This truly is the freedom befitting of cultivators,” Shen Luo nodded slightly and also drove the flying boat to descend directly into the busiest area of the city.
The streets of the city were exceptionally wide, enough for four carriages to ride side by side. The ground was also paved with flat blue stones, and the sides of the roads were lined with rows of tall buildings, which clearly bore an exotic charm, vastly different from the houses in Great Tang.
The streets were bustling with cultivators shoulder to shoulder, ten times busier than Liubo City, and not all the cultivators were from the Human Race; a considerable part of them were from the Demon Race. However, the breath of these Demon Race cultivators differed slightly from the murky and fierce qi of sea monsters like the Mirror Fiend and Tear Monster – they seemed lighter and more agile.
Shen Luo had once read about the situation before him in the classics. These members of the Demon Race all hail from Eastern Victorious Divine Continent, where the land is vast and bountiful, rich in goods and abundant with various demons.
Although the majority of the demons there are still ferocious and barbaric, some have a naturally gentle nature. They respect the heaven and earth, the laws and customs, dabble in literature and ink, and even establish monster cult platforms similar to human sects, nearly indistinguishable from the Human Race.
Gradually, this type of gentle Demon Race has been accepted by the humans of Eastern Victorious Divine Continent, allowing the two to coexist relatively harmoniously.
“Humans and demons coexisting harmoniously is something impossible to witness in Great Tang. This trip really has been quite eye-opening.” Yuan Qiu exclaimed in admiration within the Heavenly Book Space.
Shen Luo did not reply. After standing on the street for a moment, he turned and walked into a nearby shop to inquire before heading towards the center of the city walls.
A moment later, he arrived in front of a gigantic tower that stood twenty or thirty feet tall, built entirely from green jade.
A plaque was hanging above the tower's big gate with the characters “One Medicine House” written on it. The complex of green buildings behind the tower stretched out over an area of twenty or thirty acres, all enveloped in layers of prohibitions.
This was the headquarters of One Medicine House. The tower in front was for selling elixirs, while the buildings behind were dedicated to their refinement.
Shen Luo stepped inside; the interior was a very spacious and brightly lit giant hall housing up to a hundred counters, each displaying a dazzling array of elixirs. The hall was bustling with cultivators coming to purchase elixirs.
The cultivators there possessed no low cultivation levels. Nascent Soul cultivators like himself were spotted at first glance quite a few times, and the shop's attendants were busy explaining the properties of elixirs to customers all over the place.
Just as Shen Luo was about to ask someone, a purple-robed young girl suddenly appeared in front of him, looking about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a beautiful face that carried a hint of childishness.
“Are you Elder Shen? Have you come to One Medicine House this time for the Snow Soul Pill?” The purple-robed young girl gave a bow.
“Who are you? How do you know me? How do you know I've come for the Snow Soul Pill?” Shen Luo's pupils shrank slightly.
“I am Little Purple, a maidservant under Elder Wang of One Medicine House. Elder Shen had appeared to purchase Snow Soul Pills in both Liubo City and Pale Moon City. Our One Medicine House always regards cultivators of your stature with the utmost importance, and your name has already reached us here. These past days, I've been waiting for your arrival,” Little Purple said with a bow, her smile easy and confident.
Shen Luo's heart grew cautious, deeply impressed by the vast influence of One Medicine House considering the timely appearance of Little Purple, who likely recognized him as soon as he neared the establishment.
“`
“Little Purple is right, I did indeed come for the Snow Soul Pill. In recent times, I was fortunate enough to collect some Tear Demon Pearls and have come here specifically to refine elixirs,” he thought, and said calmly.
“Elder Shen actually managed to get the Tear Demon Pearls! That's wonderful, please come with me. I will take you to see Elder Wang of our One Medicine House,” Little Purple said, her face showing surprise before she happily spoke.
“Lead the way,” Shen Luo said indifferently.
With an affirmative reply, Little Purple led Shen Luo upstairs.
The building had five or six floors, and the two of them walked through several flights of stairs before quickly reaching a small, exquisitely decorated hall on the fifth floor.
Inside the hall, there was already one person sitting–a corpulent, vulgar-looking middle-aged man, wearing a Civil Officer Hat, who was brewing a pot of hot tea with steam rising and the fragrance of tea pervading the room.
“Elder Wang, Elder Shen is here,” Little Purple said respectfully as she entered the room, addressing the middle-aged man.
“Haha, Daoist Shen, welcome to One Medicine House. Please, have a seat; my name is Wang Fulai, the deacon of One Medicine House,” the middle-aged man greeted him warmly.
“Elder, you are too kind,” Shen Luo nodded slightly.
His Xuan Yin Mystifying Pupil had already reached its full potential; however, he had not slackened in these days, still practicing his Pupil Technique daily, absorbing the illusory power from the Liangyi Micro Dust Talisman.
His pupil power had improved, nearly able to see through anything, and he saw at a glance that this Elder Wang's cultivation level had reached the Great Mahayana Stage, moreover, it was the Mahayana Middle Stage, significantly stronger than the Tear Monster and Master Baoxiang.
However, for Shen Luo as he was now, a Great Mahayana Stage cultivator wasn't much of a concern, so his mood didn't fluctuate at all.
“I just brewed a pot of Cloud Mist Spirit Tea. This tea comes from the Aolai Kingdom of the Eastern Victorious Divine Continent. Daoist friend, please have a taste,” Wang Fulai said, his eyes flashing a hint of surprise as he poured a cup of spiritual tea for Shen Luo.
“Thank you,” Shen Luo nodded but did not touch the cup of spiritual tea that looked quite fine.
“Daoist Shen, did you come to One Medicine House this time for the Snow Soul Pill? Unfortunately, I might have to disappoint you. The Snow Soul Pills we refined this month have all been sold out,” Elder Wang said without seeming to mind, expressing his regret.
“Elder Wang, Elder Shen has some Tear Demon Pearls in his possession. He has come to refine the Snow Soul Pill,” Little Purple interjected.
“Daoist Shen has the Tear Demon Pearls!” Elder Wang's eyebrows shot up, turning his gaze towards Shen Luo.
“Yes,” Shen Luo nodded.
During his day and night in Luo Star City, the Tear Monster finally yielded, agreeing to produce enough Tear Demon Pearls on the condition that Shen Luo would release her immediately and promise to release the Mirror Fiend within three years.
“That's not a problem then. The alchemy tasks of our House are ongoing. Daoist Shen, how many Tear Pearls do you have?” Elder Wang nodded and then asked.
“Roughly a hundred,” Shen Luo sensed the number of Tear Demon Pearls in the Heavenly Book Space and answered.
Creating Tear Demon Pearls required consuming the Tear Demon's own vital essence and the process was quite slow. So far, the Tear Monster had only produced seventy pearls, and together with the thirty pearls obtained earlier in the Tear Monster Cave, he had barely managed to gather a hundred. He wondered if that would be enough.
