You're just a single demon beast? I have a whole army of beast tamers!

Qin Shou did not stop, but secretly memorized these scenes.

The storefront of Wanxiang Pavilion is not large, and it is even more unassuming than the shops next to it.

A black lacquered wooden door, with a blue lantern hanging in front of it, and an old man in gray standing under the lantern, smiling and greeting guests.

Seeing Qin Shou and Shui Yao approach, he was taken aback at first, then went to greet them.

"Fellow Daoists, are you here to sell your goods?"

Qin Shou looked at him. This old man's cultivation level was not high; he was only at the Integration level.

He nodded: "I've heard that you don't ask where things come from here, you only accept good stuff."

"That's natural."

The old man in gray smiled even more broadly, stepped aside to open the door, and said, "Please come in."

Upon entering, there was a small front hall, surrounded by barriers that isolated one's spiritual senses.

Qin Shou glanced around and found that the restrictions here were quite powerful, at least set up by a True Immortal-level array master.

Shuiyao followed behind him, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at the shelf next to them.

On it were several fragments of low-grade immortal artifacts, as well as a few immortal herbs sealed in a glass box.

The old man in gray led them into a quiet room, personally served them tea, and then asked, "What would you like to sell, fellow Daoist?"

Qin Shou took out a jade bottle from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

"Take a look at this first."

The old man in gray picked up the jade bottle, uncorked it, and poured out a pill.

Three golden lines were clearly visible on the surface of the pill, and the immortal spiritual power was condensed and did not dissipate.

He flicked his finger lightly, and a ray of spiritual light entered the pill. A moment later, his smile deepened.

"A first-grade Qi Condensation Immortal Pill, with three runes."

The old man put down the pills. "The quality is good. At market price, one pill is worth three low-grade immortal crystals. We can negotiate the price for larger quantities."

Qin Shou did not speak, and took out another jade bottle from his sleeve.

This time, he glanced at the old man first before slowly pushing him over.

"Take another look at this."

The old man was somewhat surprised. He took the jade bottle and poured out one.

The surface of the pill had an extra layer of patterns compared to before, with four golden lines intersecting like a spider web, and the pill's energy almost overflowing from the quiet room.

The old man's pupils contracted slightly, and his hand holding the pills paused noticeably for a moment.

"Four stripes?"

He looked up at Qin Shou, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, "A good pill."

"For this one, I can give four low-grade immortal crystals."

Qin Shou said, "I have a batch of three-patterned stones and a few four-patterned stones. How many can your Myriad Manifestations Pavilion handle?"

The old man laughed and said, "We will accept as many as you have, fellow Daoist."

The price is negotiable.

The quantity of the three-line pattern is large, and it can be increased by another 20%.

"If all four-patterned stones are of the same quality as this one, I would use four low-grade immortal crystals to acquire them."

Qin Shou pondered for a moment and then took out the pill with the slightly inferior Dao pattern.

There are two thousand in total, all of them have three lines.

After counting the items, the old man immediately took out the immortal crystals from his storage bracelet.

A flash of white light appeared, and a half-open wooden box appeared on the table, neatly stacked with low-grade immortal crystals, totaling more than ten thousand.

Including the extra charge for bulk orders, the total is 14,000.

Shuiyao watched from the side, her eyelids twitching, but she didn't say a word.

Qin Shou only accepted 13,000, keeping 1,000 for himself, saying, "I'll sell five of the four-marked ones first, and I'll take the rest myself. I'll contact you again if I need more."

The old man's smile grew even more benevolent:

"Of course, of course. If you have any more elixirs like this, please consider mine first."

I am willing to pay 10% above the market price for long-term acquisition.

Qin Shou nodded: "This price is fair. Do you have any resources for those aiming to break through to True Immortal realm?"

The old man paused for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Of course there is."

However, these kinds of things can't be obtained immediately just by having a lot of fairy crystals.

"If you wish to buy, you must first have a quantity in stock before we can discuss the goods."

Qin Shou remained calm: "What if it's the Nine Souls Immortal Pill?"

The old man's gaze sharpened slightly, and after a few moments of contemplation, he said:

"I can get the Nine Souls Elixir."

However, this item is rare and is not easily displayed in the open.

"If you can consistently provide over a thousand Grade One Immortal Pills with four or more Dao patterns, I can procure a batch for you."

He spoke casually, but Qin Shou sensed the weight in his voice.

A thousand first-grade immortal pills with four-line patterns are enough to cripple an ordinary Xuanxian power.

The fact that Wanxiang Pavilion dared to agree to this, and without hesitation, suggests that it has a background that is no ordinary True Immortal.

Qin Shou remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he became wary.

When he was refining pills at the Shui family, he always kept the pills hidden around the three lines to avoid attracting attention.

In reality, most of the first-grade immortal pills he refined had four or more runes.

He won't say it out loud right now.

"A thousand is too many; I can't collect them all at once."

Qin Shou said, "I'll come back to find you again once I've gathered them all."

"It's alright." The old man took out a cyan token from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands. "This is the token of the Myriad Elephants Pavilion. If you come again with this, someone from the sect will lead you to me."

If you change your mind, young friend, you are welcome to come anytime.

Qin Shou accepted the token, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and led Shui Yao out of the quiet room.

The two walked out of Wanxiang Pavilion and turned into a secluded alley.

Shuiyao then whispered:

"The tone of Wanxiang Pavilion is even more arrogant than my grandfather did back then."

"If they can even obtain the Nine Souls Immortal Pill, they must have more than just a Mystic Immortal behind them."

"Hmm, it seems you're not so stupid after all," Qin Shou replied without saying anything more.

"snort!"

Qin Shou smiled. He originally planned to sell three-patterned items first, and then test the market with four-patterned items.

But the other party's response was more direct than he had expected.

It seems that a first-grade immortal pill with four markings is far more precious in the Five Cang Immortal City than one might imagine.

"Let's go around and then go back," Qin Shou said in a low voice.

Shuiyao understood, and the two did not return the way they came. Instead, they left through the other exit of the black market, wandered around the streets for two incense sticks' time, and then returned to the Shui family's villa.

Shortly after they left the Myriad Phenomena Pavilion, a young man with the cultivation level of a True Immortal emerged from the back hall.

This man was dressed in a turquoise robe, with a handsome face and an air of noble arrogance between his brows.

He walked up to the old man in gray and asked in a low voice:

"Did you get a good look at that person just now?"

The gray-robed elder nodded: "I examined the pills, and they indeed possess the aura of the water attribute law, just like the immortal pills sold by the Shui family."

It must be the new alchemist who serves the Shui family.

"Oh?" The young man in the green robe raised an eyebrow. "This person can refine four runes, and he's kept it hidden so well in the Shui family."

"It's really not simple."

The gray-robed elder said, "Even in the Long family, only a second-grade alchemist can reliably refine a first-grade immortal pill with four patterns."

Moreover, the success rate of pill formation will not be very high.

"interesting."

The young man in the green robe walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the crowd outside. "If I get the chance, I'll try to win this person over."

Although the Shui family has some foundation, they are ultimately only one of the five families at the Xuanxian level.

"If this person is willing to refine pills for my Long family, he would be far more valuable than if he stayed with the Shui family."

"Yes," the old man in gray replied.

The young man in the green robe was silent for a moment, then said, "In twenty years, the Three Immortal Islands Alchemy Grand Gathering will be held."

My Long family also needs a few skilled alchemists.

Keep an eye on this person's whereabouts. If he makes another move, first find out exactly how many four-dimensional runes he can refine.

The old man in gray bowed and agreed.
