Chapter 398: Yu Clan Spiritual Medicine Store

After Badar left, Xiang Shaoyun's group strolled around in the city . Devouring Ghost wanted to purchase some king medicines, or even emperor medicines, he could use to recover more of his strength . There were a lot of spiritual medicine stores in the Bloodsin City, and each store was backed by a powerful organization, deterring the various criminals in the city from setting their sights on the store .

Xiang Shaoyun had enough spirit crystals to fund the purchase . In any case, he himself was also looking around to see if he could find something that could be of use to him . What he wanted most was to obtain spirit medicines capable of strengthening one's soul power .

Although the ghostbloom in his astral cosmos sea was the most suited for this, its grade was too high, and it would be a waste for him to consume it . He was therefore trying to look for king medicines of soul attribute instead . Apart from that, he was also trying to find something that would be useful for the ghostrunes to further enhance their growth .  

Devouring Ghost knew the city very well, so he was in charge of showing the group around .

"In this Bloodsin City, the biggest medicine store would be the one owned by the Yu Clan . They have treasures you won't be able to find at other stores," said Devouring Ghost . For some reason, when he spoke about the Yu Clan, an odd glint was in his eyes, as if there was something personally special about this clan .

"I have heard of this Yu Clan . It is an ancient clan comparable to the Xiang Clan I come from, and our clans seem to have some grudge or something?" said Xiang Shaoyun as he recalled something .

"Yes, but those are all in the past," said Devouring Ghost with a sigh . He did not seem like he wanted to talk more about it as he sank into silence and continued leading the way .

Even at their speed, they still took about two hours to reach the city's central area . This was where Yu Clan Medicine Store was located . The store occupied a large area, looking more like a massive courtyard . Numerous herbs were displayed in the store, and behind it was a herb farm where numerous spiritual herbs were planted . A formation was in place to enhance the growth of the planted herbs . Seeing a medicine store with herbs ready for harvest was an eye-opener for Xiang Shaoyun and the others .

"Customers, what are you looking for today? You can find anything you want here at our Yu Clan Medicine Store," said a graceful hostess welcoming them to the store .

Under the young woman's lead, they started browsing the numerous herbs, their eyes shining brightly at what they saw . The herbs available were too many to count, and spirit medicines could be seen almost everywhere . Even the rare emperor medicines were available, and the sight of what they had in the store was quite an eye-opener .

"This is how a medicine store should look," Xiang Shaoyun praised .

Even at the Ziling Sect he came from, it would be very hard to encounter so many rare herbs at once . Devouring Ghost, who had been calm all this while, was also growing excited . He quickly started searching for the herbs he needed .

"Big Brother Du, Jin Wo, look around and see if there is anything you need here," said Xiang Shaoyun . They nodded and started looking around as well .

"I need some herbs beneficial to the soul . Do you have something like that here?" Xiang Shaoyun asked the hostess .

"Yes we do, but they are in short supply, so the price point will be comparatively higher than the other herbs," said the hostess .

"Show me," said Xiang Shaoyun, directly ignoring what she said about the price . For him currently, price was the last thing he would worry about .

Soon, he arrived before a sales counter where several king medicines helpful for the soul were displayed .

"Soul elevation grass, a low-grade king medicine . It can strengthen one's soul power and stabilize one's soul, priced at 5,000 mid-grade spirit crystals .

"Soul return grass, a mid-grade king medicine, able to gather one's scattered soul and restore soul power, priced at 30,000 mid-grade spirit crystals .

"Nine-part soul vine, a high-grade king medicine, able to greatly enhance one's soul power and restore soul power, priced at 80,000 mid-grade spirit crystals . "

. . .

Xiang Shaoyun was completely stunned . Generally speaking, a stalk of low-grade king medicine was worth around 500 mid-grade spirit crystals . Although soul medicines were more expensive due to their rarity, it still wouldn't reach a price of 5,000 low-grade spirit crystals . This was much higher than the regular market price for these herbs .

The hostess was able to guess what was on Xiang Shaoyun's mind . She offered an explanation, "A lot of people adventuring in the Devil Domain will be polluted by devilish aura . Only by using soul medicines will they be able to maintain their sanity . Therefore, soul medicines are much more expensive here . I would like to make it known that you have arrived at a fortunate timing, sir . These herbs were freshly delivered and will sell out soon . "

Xiang Shaoyun was hit by a realization after hearing the explanation . Something's demand would determine its value . This was a battlefield with the devils . Thus, these soul medicines would naturally have a higher value here .

"Understood . I'll take them all," said Xiang Shaoyun .

"Y-you want all of them?" It was the hostess who was shocked this time .

There were five soul medicines here, totaling several hundred thousand spirit crystals in value . Not even an Emperor could take out such wealth easily . Yet a young man was going to buy them all at once . She found that difficult to believe .

"Is there a problem?" Xiang Shaoyun asked .

"No, of course not . This way to make your payment, please . " The hostess quickly recovered from her shock . She had seen all sorts of people in the Bloodsin City, and she concluded that he was probably a young master from some organization .

At this time, a voice rang out behind Xiang Shaoyun, "We are taking these soul medicines!"

Both Xiang Shaoyun and the hostess blanked out before turning around . A few people wearing dreadful-looking masks were standing there . The group was led by a woman who was wearing an armor that put half her bountiful chest on display . She made no attempt whatsoever to hide her perfect figure . A dense baleful aura emanated from them, and combined with the dreadful masks they were wearing, they gave off a sinister sensation .

"I'm sorry . This young master is already making the purchase, so I won't be able to sell you the herbs," explained the hostess in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing .

The woman leading the group did not dare to create trouble for the store . Instead, she looked at Xiang Shaoyun and said, "Give up on these herbs and piss off . "

Xiang Shaoyun smiled . "What if I say no?"

"Hehe, he actually dares disrespect our Ghostface Sect . Very well . The moment you step out of this store, you will die right on the streets," said the woman with a sneer before departing the store .

"Ghostface Sect?" Xiang Shaoyun muttered, a somewhat worried look appeared on his face .

He had learned from Badar that the Ghostface Sect was one of the strongest organizations in the city after the five strongest organizations . They even had Sovereigns among their ranks .

"Young master, this way to pay, please," the hostess said .

Xiang Shaoyun nodded and followed her .
