Chapter 1551 - Outskirts Temple
There was an inn up ahead where Liu Wuxie planned to stay for the night, but the hawking of Soul Pills drifting through the street instantly caught his attention. Curiosity tugged at him, and he stepped into the alchemy shop without hesitation.
The shop was spacious, and cultivators streamed in and out without pause. By Liu Wuxie's estimate, the Heavenly Dao Society's Soul Pills shouldn't have spread to every corner of the Spirit Martial Astral Domain so quickly. Covering half the astral domain would already be impressive, yet this planet was remote, and the cultivators here didn't even have high cultivation.
An attendant in a red robe hurried over the moment he saw Liu Wuxie enter. "Young Master, are you also here to buy Soul Pills?"
"Let me take a look at your Soul Pills," Liu Wuxie replied with a nod.
As his gaze swept the room, he watched the shop sell thirty Soul Pills in just three minutes. He hadn't expected Soul Pills to be this popular in the Spirit Martial Astral Domain.
"Young Master, please take a look. You can buy five Soul Pills with one astral crystal," the attendant said, producing a porcelain bottle and presenting a Soul Pill to Liu Wuxie.
Liu Wuxie picked up the Soul Pill and sniffed it, and his brows immediately knitted. The Heavenly Dao Society hadn't produced this at all, and its color, scent, and composition differed drastically.
Judging by the expressions of the cultivators buying them, none of them knew counterfeit Soul Pills had flooded the Spirit Martial Astral Domain. After all, they had never taken the authentic version, so it was natural that they couldn't tell the difference.
"May I ask where you sourced the Soul Pills from?" Liu Wuxie asked, setting the pill down.
He didn't consume it because he sensed something inside that would severely harm a cultivator's soul sea if taken long-term. In the short term, it would greatly boost soul energy. But if someone took it for years, the drawbacks would surface gradually. Those drawbacks wouldn't be lethal, but they would leave lasting damage to the soul sea.
"That's a secret," the attendant said nervously.
The Soul Pills sold like hotcakes, and many shops had switched to selling them, so everyone had started hunting for a steady supply. In the past few days, many people had come to ask about the source of the Soul Pills too.
