Several alchemy furnaces still bore bloodstains, knife marks, and dents.
Su Que walked around the Pill Palace and saw that it had been completely ransacked, with the gourds, jade bottles, and dicinal herbs once piled in the corners gone.
He had commissioned Elder Qingxuan to refine seventy-two Dragon Ascending Pills, already paying six hundred taels for each pill’s materials.
Now, he had obtained eighteen pills, with fifty-four still unaccounted for.
Simply put, nearly forty thousand taels had gone down the drain.
Moreover, and more importantly, without Elder Qingxuan, he would lose his source for obtaining elixirs in the future.
’I’ll first use the remaining elixirs for training and check out Mo Jin Comrce Association and the Ghost Market once they’re gone.’
He still had twelve Dragon Ascending Pills left, capable of refining the dicinal power of three to four pills a day.
This ant, with the remaining elixirs, he could continue his cultivation for another three days.
...
In the blink of an eye, three days later, he had two pills left.
He was currently focused on channeling True Qi to expand the Foot Shaoyin Kidney ridian within the Foot Three Yin ridians.
This ridian was about to be fully developed.
Thick True Qi was infused into this ridian without reservation.
Even through his clothes, one could see the muscles on his legs slightly swell.
Other martial artists, fearing damage to their ridians, would never dare to do this.
But Su Que’s physique was strong, and his ridians were tough, so he felt no fear.
Soon, a crackling sound ca from his legs.
’It’s done!’ Su Que thought to himself.
He introspected his body and found that the Foot Shaoyin Kidney ridian in his legs had expanded significantly compared to before.
The flow speed and capacity of True Qi within it had greatly increased.
This made his lightweight skill faster and his leg technique more powerful.
At this mont, he sensed that the dicinal power in his body was nearly exhausted.
So, he swallowed another Dragon Ascending Pill.
He continued to open up the last ridian in his foot.
Two days later, although Su Que had run out of elixirs, he did not cease his cultivation.
However, due to not taking elixirs, his cultivation speed slowed by ten percent.
Even though it was only ten percent, Su Que was still a bit unaccustod to it.
’The Ghost Market opens in four days; I should first check out Mo Jin Comrce Association.’
Thinking of this, Su Que imdiately left his ho, went outside the city, and packed clothes and a mask into his bundle.
Once inside the city, he found a secluded spot to change, activated his Qi Blood, and flexed his muscles.
Then, he headed towards Mo Jin Comrce Association.
Now, the Thunderbolt Army’s patrol soldiers were on the lookout for people with their faces covered.
He couldn’t enter through the main gate boldly.
So, just as he was about to reach Mo Jin Comrce Association, he suddenly leaped onto a rooftop, then propelled himself toward the association’s building.
As he approached the building, he leaped again.
His figure blurred nearly to the point of disappearing, crossing the void to enter the open window on the second floor of Mo Jin Comrce Association.
At this mont, a clerk was coming upstairs, and upon suddenly seeing soone appear at the window, was about to scream out of fright.
Su Que darted over and covered the clerk’s mouth with his hand.
The scream that was about to escape turned into muffled "mmm mmm" sounds.
"Do you rember ?" Su Que asked.
He had been here a few tis before, wearing the sa outfit and had seen this clerk.
The clerk frantically blinked and nodded.
Su Que then removed his hand.
"Sir, please have a seat in the private room while I fetch the supervisor."
The clerk was very perceptive and quickly collected himself, leading Su Que to a private room.
After pouring a pot of tea for Su Que, he withdrew.
Soon, footsteps approached, and Mo Lin, with a fair complexion and two mustaches above his lips, entered the private room.
He cupped his hands and bowed to Su Que, asking, "I wonder what brings an esteed guest like you here?"
Su Que got straight to the point: "I wonder if your association has any elixirs for sale?"
