796: Chapter 795: Thousand Charms and Hundred Flirts 796: Chapter 795: Thousand Charms and Hundred Flirts Hundred Herbs Hall is the largest elixir pharmacy in Capital City, and it is also established by the Joyful Sect of the Ten Major Sects.
The Joyful Sect, a sect that emphasizes the yin and yang of heaven and earth, is both mysterious and powerful.
In the Dragon Gate World, no one considers the dual cultivation of n and won as sothing shaful, and thus, the Joyful Sect, albeit not very prominent, still receives a lot of support, even to the point where many young n and won dream of joining it.
The Joyful Sect has a Dan King who has nurtured nurous promising alchemy protégés, and they concoct elixirs daily.
Besides supplying the sect, they also sell or exchange so elixirs to gather more exotic treasures to craft even more elixirs.
When Yusuf Zuck entered the Hundred Herbs Hall, it was as crowded as a sea of people within its three-story building.
The coming and going throngs were akin to a busy marketplace; so carried various herbs, so held strange flowers and unusual fruits, and others wrapped their rare treasures in black cloth, fearful of them being seen by others.
The first floor had the accounts room for settlents, weighn, and many male and female shop attendants.
The counters also displayed all sorts of exquisite small porcelain bottles with the na of the elixirs written on them, and there were simple introductions beneath them.
When Zuck entered, nobody gave him a second glance – there were simply too many people inside.
Zuck knew the first floor was where the action was, so he squeezed his way towards the second floor.
However, the second floor was still bustling with noise, and though there were fewer people than on the ground floor, it still felt like a marketplace.
Zuck walked around the counters, closely observing the elixir bottles within.
He noticed that most of the bottles were empty, similar to a mobile phone store in the secular world where only dummy models are displayed, not the actual devices.
Here, only the nas and descriptions of the elixirs were on display, but the elixirs were not inside the counters!
If they weren’t in the counters, then they must be hidden sowhere else – perhaps on the third floor above, or underground here.
Of course, there’s also a chance they could be kept within the Storage Magical Treasures guarded here.
But this possibility was very small, after all, Space Treasures were scarce throughout the Mainland.
Zuck made a round, then continued upstairs along the staircase.
However, before he reached the third floor, he saw two guardian figures standing at the entrance, both wielding swords and both with Nascent Soul cultivation levels.
Zuck’s footsteps paused slightly, but he continued upwards.
The two sword-wielding Nascent Souls watched him coldly, as if trying to see through him.
Fortunately, they didn’t stop him, and he passed freely.
The third floor was spacious, with only about a dozen people inside.
The elixirs displayed on the counters were high-level, such as the Feather Transformation Pill, Tribulation Confronting Pill, and Nascent Soul Pill, among others.
Of course, these elixirs were only nad as such and wouldn’t directly advance one’s rank upon consumption; they rely aided in cultivation.
Whether one could advance a level still depended on the individual.
After scanning the room, Zuck’s gaze suddenly fixated on a window to the south, where a slender woman sat wearing a floral cloth shirt with delicate features, sexy and curvaceous in a way that made one couldn’t help but take a second look.
She had a huge golden bow in front of her, and she was carefully rubbing it with so kind of fat.
Perhaps sensing Zuck’s gaze, she suddenly looked up and gave him a cold glance!
An expert, in the Early Mahayana Stage!
Zuck had encountered Mahayana-level personalities before, so he was familiar with the aura of the Mahayana Realm, and this person was in the early stage.
She was probably the strongest guardian in the Hundred Herbs Hall, and that bow of hers was clearly extraordinary, shining with golden light, exuding an energy wave atop it.
Upon seeing the woman looking his way, Zuck did not avert his gaze but rather t it head-on, with a smile curling the corners of his mouth as he boldly walked towards her.
The woman slightly raised her eyebrows in surprise.
How could a Golden Core junior dare to et her gaze so brazenly?
Such composure was significant – did this Golden Core junior have an impressive background?
“Junior Terrence Dodson pays respect to senior,” Zuck blurted out a na on the fly.
Terrence Dodson was the na of a divine archer in the Water Margin, known as the Lesser Li Guang!
“What do you want?” the woman asked indifferently.
“Having heard that your archery skills are unparalleled in the world, I’ve co to seek guidance!” Yusuf Zuck saw that this person cared greatly for her bow because, when she wiped it, it seed as though she was caressing her own body while bathing, a gesture of contentnt.
Therefore, Yusuf Zuck imdiately heaped praise upon her!
“Heh.” Upon hearing Yusuf Zuck’s words, the woman indeed smiled charmingly and gave him an evaluative look up and down, asking, “Which sect are you from?
What do you seek to learn from ?”
“Responding to my senior, I am of the Saint Dragon Pavilion, and Zayn Reid is my uncle,” Yusuf Zuck said as he suddenly pulled out a waist badge from his sleeve and flaunted it in front of the woman.
The waist badge was indeed from the Saint Dragon Pavilion, but the master of the Sword Holding Hall, Zayn Reid, was not his uncle.
“Oh?
Zayn Reid has a nephew?” mused the woman, scratching her chin.
“Uncle told not to reveal my relationship to outsiders, so not many people know!” Yusuf Zuck said.
“Hehe, I see.
But what exactly do you wish to know?” The woman smiled rarely, revealing a captivating allure.
“It’s like this.” Yusuf Zuck thought for a mont and said, “I do not wish to practice the saber, nor the three-foot-long sword, but I have a special fondness for bow and arrows.
I do have a bow, but I lack arrows.
I made so arrows in the past, yet when I shot at experts, my arrows would shatter under the impact.
Therefore, I wish to ask my senior, what material should be used to create the arrows with the greatest penetrating power?”
“Oh, you’ve asked the right person!” The woman smiled sweetly, feeling a sudden fondness for Yusuf Zuck, and said while laughing, “Take a seat; let tell you all about it!”
“Thank you, senior.” Yusuf Zuck sat down respectfully.
“In this world, if we’re talking about arrows with the strongest penetrating power, it should be the Void Breaking Arrow crafted from the Falling Star teorite.
When the Void Breaking Arrow is launched, not only is it fast, but it penetrates any object it ets.
However, this kind of Falling Star teorite is rare, and I have only one Void Breaking Arrow myself.”
“Aside from the Void Breaking Arrow, the next strongest is made from the ‘Divine Wood Branch.’ Arrows crafted from Divine Wood Branch are not afraid of water, fire, thunder, or lightning, and they can drive away evil spirits and subdue demons.
They even have a stunning effect on the Nascent Souls of cultivators, can injure the soul, and can easily pierce through Gang Qi defenses.
However, Divine Wood Branch has now vanished; archers from across the world have been searching for it for thousands of years without finding it.”
“Of course, there’s a third type of arrow, which is the ‘Gang Qi Condensed Arrow’ that you can create yourself.
Although it’s not as powerful as the previous two, it can beco increasingly powerful as your own strength grows!”
“Nowadays, archers in the world mostly use their own Gang Qi to condense arrows.
The higher your cultivation level, the more lethal the arrows you condense.”
“Of course, you can also develop your own thods.
For example, you can rge your Elixir flas with the Gang Qi Arrow.
Thus, what you shoot would be fla arrows.
If you know the technique of ice arts, you can also condense them into ice arrows, and so on.”
“Oh, is that so?” Yusuf Zuck’s eyes sparkled with excitent.
He had obtained the Bent Bow from the tomb of Genghis Khan, but he didn’t see any arrows at the ti, so he hadn’t considered using that bow.
But now, after hearing her explanation, he experienced a mont of clarity, as if clouds had parted to reveal the sun!
Indeed, he could condense arrows from Gang Qi, which could carry the Purple-Gold Flas, or even the Fury of Thunderbolt, right?
Infusing the power of thunder and lightning, how formidable would the destructive force be?
“Young man, are you interested in bow and arrows?
You may seek my guidance anyti…” The woman blinked coquettishly, her eyes watery and full of charm, releasing a fragrant scent.
At this mont, she was the epito of seduction.
And Yusuf Zuck, slling the fragrance she exhaled and seeing her constantly shifting eyes, instantly felt a rogue fla surge from his belly!
Profane Temptation Technique, a high-level bewitching technique.

PS: I’d like to explain about the updates for January.
Since the Spring Festival is approaching, my old readers would know, I co from a rural area where communication is not well-developed, and the internet is inaccessible.
Hence, I have to return to the countryside for the festival.
I need to stockpile manuscripts to keep updating during the holiday period, so the updates for January will be reduced.
Starting tomorrow, the 1st, there will be three updates daily, and this will also apply to Saturdays and Sundays.
Thank you all for your understanding and support.
Well, today there are still five updates.
Honestly, these past two months, I’ve been working from dawn to dusk, designing plotlines and considering their feasibility, maintaining an average daily update of about 10,000 words.
In December, there was a total update of 320,000 words, averaging over 10,000 words a day.
Although that might not seem like much, typing more than 10,000 words daily has led to back pain and hair loss.
I ask for your understanding, my friends.
I would love to update more frequently as it would an earning more, but there are tis when, despite smoking a whole pack of cigarettes, I can’t even write seven words.
I hope for your understanding, and my peach fans, please be kind to your uncle here.
