96.66% Mystic Era: The Numinous Way / Chapter 28: Purchase

บท 28: Purchase

"Let's walk, we will tour the first floor. If you want to buy anything, tell me." Fu Ziying told and led them towards the circle of shops.

"Ok"

It was a good opportunity for Ye Xian to stroll around various shops and find out about this world's way of Array and Forging. Perhaps, he might even find some valuable items.

"The Black Crow's dome would rank under top ten in the phantom city for trading and purchasing. If you possess sufficient wealth, you can buy anything you desire here." Fu Ziying explained.

Both Ye Xian and Fu Guang strolled under Fu Ziying's lead. Ye Xian saw many shops, with vendors bawling continuously while numerous items were laid before the shops for others to view.

Weapons, pills, herbs, beast armor's, array plates, formation plates... Almost everything that was required for one's cultivation could be found here.

Even Ye Xian, who inherited Saint Redwood's memory found himself incapable of identifying some of the items on the shops.

Even though he has knowledge in the field of Array and Forging, he doesn't know anything about Pills and Alchemy.

It's just that there were too many of them. He was unable to ascertain which of them is real, which of them is fake... which of them were of high quality...

'I should practice alchemy as soon as possible. Otherwise, I won't even know if I have purchased a genuine pill or not!' Ye Xian thought to himself.

In the past, after his nodes were damaged, he developed an interest in learning about various herbs and medicines, that's why he read many alchemy research papers, but he didn't had an opportunity to learn Alchemy in the past.

Why most Numinous way practitioners learn only one profession in their life?. It's because they won't have sufficient time to focus on another profession.

But Ye Xian can! Since he already has enough knowledge in the field of Array and Forging, it won't be a problem for him to learn Alchemy.

"Big Brother Xian, What happened? You were spaced out!" Fu Guang called out, waking Ye Xian from his thoughts.

"Nothing, I just recalled something." Ye Xian said.

"Sister Ziying, I am interested in Alchemy; Can you help me in getting some books related to alchemy?" Ye Xian asked.

Fu Ziying who was walking before him, stumped by his way of calling. 'What did he just call me? Sister Ziying? Even some of my close friends will only call me Senior sister Ziying! If someone heard his way of calling...Ah...What am I thinking?.'

Fu Ziying tossed away her thoughts and disregarded his way of calling; she said: "Why do you want to study Alchemy? You already have knowledge in the Way of Array; If you try to learn another profession, it will hinder your advancement in Array."

Ye Xian simply shrugged, but his posture told he won't change his decision.

"Whatever" Fu Ziying sighed but didn't reprimand him as it's his life and his decision.

Then, Fu Ziying led Ye Xian to one store filled with versatile items. The owner of the shop is a sixteen-year-old girl, who appeared to be lazy. She was a tall figure, with pale white skin and brown eyes.

"Zhu, How's business going?. You are as lazy as always." Fu Ziying said.

Once the girl saw the owner of the voice is Fu Ziying, the Zhu girl stood up from her seat and asked in an astonished tone, "Vice Head Ziying, What brings you here?"

"I came to buy a beginner level alchemy book. Do you have any?" Fu Ziying asked.

"What? You want an alchemy book! But aren't you already a Cyan ranked Alchemy Master. Why do you want a beginner level alchemy book?" The girl named Zhu asked, baffled.

"It's not for me. It's for him." Fu Zhiying replied and pointed her finger at Ye Xian.

Meanwhile, Ye Xian was surprised by the Zhu girl's words. Cyan Ranked Alchemy Master! 'I didn't think she would be numinous master and she also reached a Cyan level at that. As expected, she is fierce; No Wonder, many of the students showed a respectful attitude towards her.'

"Oh!" The girl named Zhu looked at Ye Xian with curiosity, but she didn't ask anything.

Then, she took out a large book, somewhere from the corner of her shop. The book looked like a large pillow and it's entirely covered in dust.

"This is a Beginner level Alchemy book, I got from my friend who acquired it from a ruin site."

"How much is it?" Ye Xian asked.

"Since you came with Vice Head, you can get it for 10,000 gold coins—no bargaining."

"What? 10,000 gold coins..." Fu Guang who was behind him cried out in surprise. His mouth turned into 'O' shape, enough to fit an apple.

It's nothing surprising to see Fu Guang's exaggerated reaction. For ten thousand gold coins, one could easily buy many things like Grade 3 pill, techniques, skills and much more... But here the girl is saying a beginner level book cost this much.

"Zhu, What is this?" Fu Ziying furrowed her eyebrows, revealing she is displeased with her pricing.

"Vice head, you know I won't lie to you. I got this book for 5000 gold coins and appraised this book with a Black Ranked Alchemy master by paying him 3000 gold coins." The Zhu girl immediately explained the reason once she saw Ziying's displeased expression and she continued again after a pause.

"He said this Alchemy Book is special and it contains detailed alchemy knowledge and valuable for any beginner level Alchemist. He even said if one comprehends everything in this book, he/she can easily reach a Cyan ranked Alchemist within a short period of time."

"When I first got this book, many People showed interest to buy...Snort! but once they heard my price no one showed up to purchase." The Zhu girl explained.

"Can I take a look at this book" Ye Xian asked.

"Sure, but only first ten pages" The Zhu girl strictly reprimanded since many people have the skill of memorizing everything they saw for once.

Ye Xian nodded his head, explicating he understood, and read the first few pages. Once he started reading, he had a feeling this book is suited for him so he immediately decided to buy.

"I will take this book." Ye Xian said with no hesitation.

Both Fu Guang and Fu Ziying is surprised by his decision. It's 10,000 gold coins they are talking about, it's a very big amount even for them.

"Are you sure?" Fu Ziying asked to confirm.

Ye Xian nodded his head.

"Here" Ye Xian took out ten thousand gold coins from his robe and settled the money.

Ye Xian knows he shouldn't expose his space ring so he secretly took out 10,000 gold coins and put it in his robe, just before the pay.

The Zhu girl immediately stored the gold coins in her purse, afraid that Ye Xian will regret his deal.

'Ah, I finally sold this crappy book.' The Zhu girl mused to herself.

The trio exited the shop and once again strolled along various shops.

"You said you wanted to buy some materials regarding array, but why are you buying other fruitless things." Fu Ziying asked as she couldn't understand why he brought the book for such sky-high price.

"I liked the book very much when I first saw it so it doesn't matter even if the cost is high." Ye Xian replied.

Fu Ziying shook her head and thought Ye Xian is a reckless person. She even began to wonder whether the person saved his brother is this youngster?.

Ye Xian's vision suddenly locked onto one particular shop where a middle-aged man remained as the owner. To be precise, his eyesight locked onto a black rock with shades of blue on its surface.

He casually made his way towards the shop while Fu Ziying and Fu Guang followed him.

"Oh Young man, what are you looking for? I have everything you need here, and I assure you the price is fair!" The Middle-aged owner quickly welcomed his presence.

"I am just looking around!" Ye Xian smiled. He then unceremoniously picked a few items in the shop and sized it up.

"Do you have a customized Array plate? I need a Grade 2 one with good durability and toughness." Ye Xian asked.

"Oh! Are you an Array Master? Yes, I have."

"This Array Plate is specially forged by a Cyan ranked Forger and has extraordinary durability. It is on sale for just 50 gold coins. I offer the same price to everyone passing by! If you buy it in bulk, I can give you a special discount of 40gold coins per array plate." The middle-aged man put an honest look and explained.

"I will take 100 Array plates. If the standard is not as you said then I will come back."

"Do you have any other interesting things?" Ye Xian asked while he gazed around various things in the shop.

Before the middle-aged man could reply, Ye Xian once again spoke: "What is that blue rock? It looks attractive! How much is it?"

The middle-aged man noticed the young man is asking about the rock he got it from an unknown source.


บท 29: Alchemy of Nature

"To be honest, I don't know it's origin, but I know it's extraordinary..." The Middle-aged shop owner once again began to bullshit about the value of the rock.

Ye Xian quickly interrupted his speech and asked with an irritated look: "Price?"

Seeing the annoyed look on Ye Xian's face, the owner stopped his talk. He knows, the young man before him is a rich customer, but if he trades every item at a high price, the customer may even won't buy anything, so he immediately reduced the price to the minimum range where he will only benefit little out of it.

"500 gold coins", The Middle-aged owner said, since he brought the little rock for only 300 gold coins.

"Deal. Pack this Rock and 100 array plates!" Ye Xian took out 4500 gold coins and paid the middle-aged owner.

Behind Ye Xian, Fu Ziying and Fu Guang are speechless about the way he spends his money as it was water. "He is unquestionably rich." Both of them thought to themselves.

After receiving the array plates and the rock, the trio left the shop. They wandered around the 1st floor of the black crow's dome for some time and eventually left the tower.

Ye Xian also couldn't buy anything for little jade as he doesn't know much about herbs and pills. He planned to ask Fu Ziying about this since she's a Cyan ranked alchemy master.

The trio walked along the streets of the eastern division chatting themselves. Fu Ziying intended to find a place for him and Fu Guang to stay for the next few days till the academy entrance examination.

"What's special about that blue shaded rock?" Fu Ziying suddenly asked; she knows Ye Xian is no fool to buy a worthless rock.

"It's a Pure Thunder metal ore!" Ye Xian replied.

"What?? That rock is pure thunder metal ore!! Are you sure?"

"Absolutely"

She had read it on the books previously, this is an extremely valuable and rare material. If this ore were to be used in the creation of spirit weapon, its effectiveness and destructiveness would at least be ten times than the normal one!

She didn't expect Ye Xian to stumble upon it when he was just casually strolling around. Furthermore, this Pure thunder metal ore looks much bigger, which should be enough to produce two or three spirit weapons.

"Sister, what is pure thunder metal ore?" Fu Guang curiously asked.

"It's a very rare material one can only encounter by chance and it's priceless to buy it in a market. It's worth a minimum of 100000 Gold coins, while it can be sold for a maximum of million gold coins. Moreover, with this material, one can produce a High-Grade spirit weapon."

Ye Xian shook his head when he listened to Fu Ziying's explanation. 'High-Grade Spirit Weapon? Wrong. With this ore, one can create a Holy Grade Spirit Weapon, which is considered to be the zenith of the spirit weapon.'

Seeing Ye Xian's reaction, Fu Ziying doubted her words: "Did I say anything wrong?"

"No, What you said is correct. But with this thunder metal ore, one can create a Holy Grade spirit weapon, not some high-grade spirit weapons." Ye Xian nonchalantly replied.

"Holy Grade Spirit weapon?. You are jesting... Holy Grade weapon is just a myth. In my life, I haven't heard or seen any holy grade weapons. Even the name 'Holy grade weapons' was accidentally learned by me, when I read some books." Fu Ziying refused to believe in Ye Xian's words.

"Sister, What's holy grade weapon? Why haven't I heard of anything like that?"

"You know, weapons are divided into Low Grade, Medium Grade, and High Grade. But apart from that, there is mystical saying if a forger reaches a Zenith of Forging, he/she can create a Holy weapon.

A holy weapon is considered to be King weapon in their own grade nothing will be able to obstruct its path in their own grade."

"Even if you have the pure thunder metal ore, you won't be able to find a forger capable of forging a Holy Grade Weapon." Fu Ziying looked at Ye Xian and said.

Ye Xian simply smiled in response.

Fu Ziying is speechless. 'Who did he think he is? Acting all mysterious...He is really getting on my nerves.'

"I have some work so I have to leave now. If you walk along this street, you will find an Inn named 'Juhu Inn'. You can stay there for the next few days and don't go out anywhere without me; It's not safe. I will come and find you guys, once my work is done." Fu Ziying instructed Fu Guang and left.

She didn't even look at Ye Xian, from this one can understand she is clearly annoyed at Ye Xian.

----

After Fu Ziying left, Ye Xian and Fu Guang walked along the street as Fu Ziying instructed and found an Inn called Juhu Inn.

Once they got the room, they went to their room with the help of a servant. The room is sufficient for them as it had two bedrooms and one hall; Both of them took one bedroom for themselves to rest.

After Ye Xian went into his room, little jade which is hiding in his robe rushed out and complained to him with 'squeak' sounds.

"You are spirit beast if others found out about this, you will be in a dangerous situation. Wait till we reach a clear understanding of the Phantom city, then we won't have to be afraid." Ye Xian grumbled and spoke again: "Go play at one side and don't disturb me."

Ye Xian then took the alchemy book, from inside his robe and placed it on the cable. He took a deep breath and blew the clouds of dust in the book.

In the front page of the book, he could see a clear and neat title, 'Alchemy of Nature'.

He soon tranquilized his mind and began to concentrate his full attention on the book. Within a few seconds, Ye Xian was totally captivated by the profound words in the book.

'Alchemy - It's a creation of something meaningful from nothing.'

'It's simply a process of transmutation, purification, and the creation of something new.'

'In Transmutation, one will analyze and study how to change certain something. Example: Changing base metals into gold.'

'In purification, one will purify the unwanted things that will disrupt the alchemy process.'

'Creation, as the name implies, we create something new using the above two process.'

Each word and sentences gave Ye Xian a unique feeling, as he himself had written the book.

'So, alchemy is not as simple as creating medicinal pills; it hints to everything, which we create from nothing.'

In Medical way, a pill formula is created after careful analysis and research of various herbs mixed together.

After the analysis, one should purify the unwanted attributes in the herbs and using their own technique, they can create a pill.

After the first few pages of introduction to alchemy, the book began to talk about the various herbs, medicinal fruits, and poison-related medicines.

Even though the book only carried basic knowledge, every herb and their characteristics are clearly defined and illustrated. Ye Xian also knows basic knowledge is the key to a strong foundation.

------

Six days passed in the blink of an eye,

In the following days, other than eating, sleeping and some chat with Fu Guang; Ye Xian entirely concentrated in studying about various herbs and medicinal fruits mentioned in the book.

Ye Xian now thoroughly learned about various herbs which are grade three and below. Now, the only thing left is to obtain some Alchemy pill formula and practice according to the book; Then he will become an Alchemist.

'I learned about the basics things in Alchemy, the only remaining task is practicing. The entrance examination for new students is going to start in four days, so I better stop the alchemy practice and continue it after entering the Academy.'

'It's been more than ten days since I entered Early Level 9 of the mortal realm, but my cultivation shows no improvement.' Ye Xian pondered.

'My Cultivation technique is different from others; It seems like only after my physical body reaches a certain degree, my essence energy will improve. Sigh... To Improve my physical body, I need a lot of alchemy pills or natural resources ' Ye Xian sighed to himself.

"Whatever, I will take one step at a time."

Ye Xian came out of his room and saw Fu Guang in the hall, who's practicing his skill. What Fu Guang practicing is set of fist technique which is different from his Snow tiger fist.

Even though the skill looked exquisite and powerful, it lacked a certain intent compared to his skill. From this Ye Xian deduced, Fu Guang's skill is little lower than his skill which his father gave him.

"Brother Gunag" Ye Xian greeted him.

"Big Brother Xian, you came out. Did you finish practicing the alchemy?"

"No, I have only taken a first step in the Way of Alchemy. How could alchemy be easy, I have a long way to finish my practice." Ye Xian said.
