The shopkeeper chuckled, guiding Qin Huai to the top floor. "Although our Three Cauldron Elixir Dispensary can't compare to the larger sects in Qingzhou City, we have our alchemical expertise and the contributions of the previous pavilion masters to lean on. We've collected a wealth of information on the ancient history of Qingzhou. Some of it might even be more comprehensive than that of the larger sects."
The shopkeeper radiated pride. Because Qin Huai held the golden core token, they encountered no hindrance in accessing the top floor of the Three Cauldron Elixir Dispensary.
Qin Huai beheld the dazzling bookshelf before him, momentarily dazed. These ancient texts emitted an alluring scent, a blend of scholarly wisdom and medicinal herbs, that was so potent it could induce sleep.
