Walking around the enormous hall, Shun Long started to take a look at the counters around him to see the items that they sold, but he was soon left disappointed when he realized that most of them were meant for cultivators at the qi condensation stage and the earth grade.
Whether it was the rank 1 and rank 2 pills and medicinal herbs that were for sale, or the bronze grade weapons and armor along with the yellow-grade martial skills and cultivation techniques, none of them would be used by anyone above the earth grade.
Of course, Shun Long quickly realized that this made sense as well. As an enormous city that easily housed tens of millions of cultivators, it wasn't possible for the Holy city to only have cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above. It was only natural that there would be hundreds of thousands if not more cultivators at the Qi condensation stage and the earth grade as well.
As for the 'White tiger chamber of merce', it seemed that they didn't just deal with high-level cultivators but they had practically everything that one would need, regardless of their cultivation stage!
After taking one more look at this floor and making sure that there was nothing in this place that would interest even average Spirit realm cultivators, Shun Long turned his attention towards the large staircase at the end of the hall that many others walked to and from as well.
Entering the second floor, Shun Long saw another sea of cultivators inside it, but their numbers were much fewer pared to the sheer amount of people that were present on the first floor.
However, barely 15 minutes later, Shun Long realized that this floor was only filled with rank 3 and rank 4 medicinal herbs and pills, as well as silver-grade weapons and armor, none of which were of any use to the current him.
As for the Mystic low-grade and middle-grade cultivation and martial skills, Shun Long didn't even glance at them, as he walked towards the large staircase that led to the third floor.
Thankfully, the moment that he stepped foot onto this floor, Shun Long understood that he had finally e to the right place. Although this floor seemed to have less than 1000 people present, with just a look around he realized, that rank 5 and rank 6 medicinal herbs and pills were bountiful here.
As for the cultivation techniques and martial skills here, every single one of them seemed to be at the Mystic high-grade, but there wasn't a single one of them at the Saint-grade or above.
Without any hesitation, Shun Long started to stroll around the floor, purchasing every single herb that caught his interest.
In less than 1 hour, he had actually spent more than 1 million 340.000 middle-grade spirit stones, as he purchased more than 20 rank 6 medicinal herbs along with a handful of supplementary rank 5 ones that he was lacking.
With the 180.000 middle-grade spirit stones that he had found inside Dai Lim and Dai Hao's spatial rings as well as the 300.000 that Yan Wen was carrying inside his own spatial ring, Shun Long had 2 million and 355.000 middle-grade spirit stones before he entered the 'White tiger chamber of merce'.
After spending more than 1 million and 340.000 all at once, he was left with just 1 million and 15.000 in the end.
However, even though he had spent more than half of his spirit stones in one go, the only thing that Shun Long felt regretful for, was that there weren't more rank 6 medicinal herbs available to buy.
In this past 1 hour, he had actually emptied the entire third floor off of rank 6 medicinal herbs all by himself, leaving behind groups of employess and other cultivators who were staring at him with their eyes wide-open.
Even a few rank 6 herbs that no one else wanted to buy due to their low maturity age which would make them unsuitable for pill refinement, they were also bought by Shun Long with a smile on his face, feeling that he had made a killing this time, while pletely ignoring the gazes of the people around him.
After all, it was mon knowledge to every alchemist that medicinal herbs had their own ages as well, and unless a herb's maturity age had reached a certain level, it would be almost impossible for someone to use it and refine pills.
Even if an alchemist really used such a herb, he would only be able to produce low-grade or middle-grade pills at most, making the herb's value plummet in everyone's eyes.
However, Shun Long didn't care about imm.a.t.u.r.e herbs in the slightest, as he hoarded every single rank 6 one that appeared in front of him.
Naturally, why would he care about rank 6 medicinal herbs when he could speed up the herbs' growth inside his herb garden in the 'Stone of Time'?
The rank 6 medicinal herbs that everyone else saw as trash were actually herbs that could easily be sold for 100.000 middle-grade spirit stones if they were m.a.t.u.r.e, and yet Shun Long actually got them for less than half of that price.
Finally, after pletely emptying the floor of every single rank 6 medicinal herb in sight, a single thought abruptly appeared in his mind
''Since the first floor corresponds to cultivators at the Qi condensation and those at the earth grade, while the second floor is meant for those who are still at the Heaven grade and those at the Spirit realm... then, since the third floor is meant for Nascent Soul stage and Dao King realm cultivators, is the fourth floor actually meant for Dao Emperors and above?''
At the same time that this thought appeared in his mind, Shun Long turned his attention towards the large staircase at the end of the hall. However, the moment that he did that, Shun Long saw 2 guards clad in golden armor actually blocking the staircase, each of them holding the hilt of a large greatsword.
The most shocking thing however was actually the aura ing from the guards' bodies! These guards were actually rank 9 Dao King realm experts!
