Chapter 675: Fire-Repelling Finch and Six-Petaled Butterfly Pansy
"Servant[1] greets the senior. May I ask what you wish to purchase? I’ll retrieve it for you right away."
The attendant, a young woman with cultivation at the eighth stage of the Qi Refining Realm, carried a certain air of weariness and worldliness. She swayed her hips as she spoke, her voice laced with flattery and seduction.
Ran Luo had mentioned earlier that many low-level cultivators in the Stormy Demonic Sea, especially female cultivators, often became concubines or even cauldrons for higher-level cultivators just to survive and cultivate.
Such things weren’t unheard of in Canglang Sea either, but at least there they would be somewhat concealed and not displayed so openly.
Qin Sang didn’t consider himself qualified to judge. His tone remained calm and even. "I’m looking for one type of spiritual material and two types of medicinal herbs. All are rare. Please take me to see your manager."
A flicker of disappointment passed through the attendant’s eyes, but she responded respectfully and led Qin Sang upstairs.
The manager here was only at the late stage of the Foundation Building Realm.
Qin Sang made no effort to conceal his spiritual pressure. The manager immediately welcomed him with enthusiasm and waved the attendant away.
Once seated in a quiet chamber, Qin Sang got straight to the point. "I’m looking for three things: a natural treasure called Perpetual Camphor, and two spiritual herbs known as the Six-Petaled Butterfly Pansy and Soul-Guiding Grass. Does your shop carry any of them?"
From his demeanor, the manager immediately recognized Qin Sang as a serious cultivator uninterested in idle talk. He kept his expression neutral and replied, "Please wait a moment, Senior. I’ll have the storeroom searched immediately. If we don’t have them, I’ll send someone to contact the major merchant guilds on Tianwu Island. That way you won’t have to run around searching."
"Hmm?"
Qin Sang glanced at the steward. The man looked to be around fifty, with a neat goatee and a shrewd expression. He was clearly capable, which explained why he served as manager on Tianwu Island.
