Chapter 532 - 228: Blood Pill Second Level!
Yiling Small City.
It is bustling yet elegant, full of life.
Snowflakes drift down, swirling and whirling.
Jiang Shi’s vision was filled with white snow, and he could see many children having snowball fights. The streets were crowded, and the falling snow did not cause a bit of desolation.
In the cold air, there was a bustling aura filled with the scent of lantern fires.
Jiang Shi looked up at the sky and found the high clouds dim, like a heavy lead covering, hinting at an impending snowstorm that was inevitable. He shook his head lightly and walked towards an inn ahead.
Treasures Tower.
It is the most renowned herbal shop in the small city, offering all kinds of medicinal materials. Almost everything from north to south can be purchased here.
This store is not exclusive to one location but is a chain throughout Central State, with a Treasures Tower in almost every city and town.
According to some origins, this store has the backing of the Ancient Five Races.
The Ancient Five Races: Lin, Ye, Xiao, Wu, and Meng, have a long heritage and are unfathomable, tracing back tens of thousands of years, much older than any dynasty in this world.
Previously, when Jiang Shi was in the Southern Domain, he encountered a descendant of the Wu Family.
And on that island, he even met a descendant of a branch of the Meng Family.
Regardless of which one, they all had uncommon demeanors.
Especially Meng Fang left a deep impression on him.
"Mr. Jiang, you have arrived. We have prepared all the medicinal materials you requested."
The shopkeeper, dressed in a dark red Gold Coin Robe and wearing a Money Hat, with a kindly smile on his face, quickly walked over to Jiang Shi.
"Please come with me."
He led Jiang Shi towards a side counter.
Several clerks had already prepared a whole package of medicinal materials in advance.
"Mr. Jiang, are you satisfied with these?"
The shopkeeper smiled.
Jiang Shi opened the package and looked inside.
"Not bad."
He nodded lightly.
Inside were the materials he previously asked the shopkeeper to collect for cultivating the Nine Dragon Dominating Demon Body. His Nine Dragon Dominating Demon Body had been cultivated to the Eighth Realm, possessing the strength of eight Demon Dragons.
He was only a step away from the Ninth Realm Perfection.
Thus, after entering this small city, Jiang Shi searched everywhere for medicinal materials.
Finally, today he managed to gather them all successfully.
"That’s good, that’s good."
The shopkeeper smiled continuously.
"Shopkeeper, I’d like to purchase some other materials. Can you provide them?"
Jiang Shi suddenly spoke again.
"As long as Mr. Jiang can name it, our Treasures Tower can almost surely provide it."
The shopkeeper smiled.
"Alright, take a look at this."
Jiang Shi casually took out a piece of paper and handed it to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper opened the paper and looked at it lightly. His face suddenly changed, looking at Jiang Shi in surprise, "Mr. Jiang, this... these are materials for refining the Blood God Pill."
The Blood God Pill is an essential item for the Holy Spirit’s ninth ancestral return to enter the Blood Pill Realm!
How could he not know?
"What? Is there a problem?"
Jiang Shi inquired.
"This... this cannot be sold."
The shopkeeper’s face changed, shaking his hands repeatedly, he said, "To be honest, not only can we not sell these materials, but I doubt anyone in the world would dare to sell them."
"Even your Treasures Tower doesn’t dare to sell them, isn’t that a bit exaggerated?"
Jiang Shi laughed lightly.
His second Blood God Pill had already been completely refined two days ago.
He had also successfully broken through to the Blood Pill Second Realm.
Unfortunately, the materials in his ring could only make two Blood God Pills, which is why he set his sights on Treasures Tower.
"This pill is a forbidden item. Let me put it this way, anything involving the Blood Pill Realm is forbidden, and our backer has emphasized this multiple times."
The shopkeeper said.
"Really?"
Jiang Shi responded, a thought faintly formed in his mind.
Power Monopoly!
Just like before in the Great Qian Dynasty.
The difference is, the Great Qian Dynasty monopolized the most basic Entering Strength Pill.
Now, in the Great Heng Dynasty, they are monopolizing the Blood God Pill.
Undoubtedly, the latter requires a higher degree of power monopoly.
Because experts in the Blood Pill Realm can significantly change the global structure.
"Yes, we cannot help with this."
The shopkeeper shook his head repeatedly, handing the paper back to Jiang Shi.
"Alright, thank you. I’ll look elsewhere."
Jiang Shi replied, taking the package in front of him.
As for the price, it was already paid in advance when he visited last time.
"Take care."
The shopkeeper bowed as he saw off the guest.
Snowflakes drifted.
The cold wind howled.
The snow on the street grew heavier, densely packed, like willow catkins in the wind, with an overwhelming momentum.
Jiang Shi walked along, his aura ethereal, seemingly merging with the wind and snow. The snowflakes fell across the sky but did not touch his clothes at all.
Suddenly!
Jiang Shi felt a sensation, and his tranquil and deep eyes slowly swept behind him.
After taking a look, he acted as if nothing happened and continued walking forward.
Before long, Jiang Shi arrived at a secluded spot, and a voice slowly came out, "You’ve been following me this whole way. Why not come forward and speak openly?"
The person behind him suddenly changed their expression.
But still, a light and agile laughter emanated as a woman emerged from the shadows, bringing a refreshing fragrance. She was extremely beautiful, her black hair styled into small braids. Her attire did not resemble the traditional people of Great Heng but rather those from distant wilderness lands.
Even in snowy weather, she still revealed her navel, walked barefoot with white feet, and her eyes were as black as ink, with a face full of bright smiles.
