Chapter 213: Procuring Pellets
"This brother, are you informed on Ji Ya's dao-companion?" After regaining his composure, Wei Suo asked that stout cultivator in grey robe.
The grey-robed cultivator glanced at Wei Suo with intrigue and replied, "I overhead this 6-7 days ago in Thousand Longevity City. It is said that Ji Ya caught the attention of East Victory's young master and will soon be married in East Victory in a few days."
Wei Suo took in a deep breath and inquired further, "Is this news reliable?"
"Many cultivators were aware of this. This news shouldn't be mere hearsay," the grey-robed and stout cultivator replied.
"Many thanks brother. I just recalled about a certain matter I have to attend to. This one shall bid farewell and take his leave first." After bidding farewell, Wei Suo directly leaped off the violet Nature Spirit Mushroom and dashed out of the valley, while ignoring the puzzled gazes of the group.
"Is that guy related related to Ji Ya?" the grey-robed cultivator muttered beneath his breath while observing Wei Suo's leaving figure.
"What a good soul. If my brother changes his mind about joining Mystic Wind Sect because of his words, I will find a way to repay him." Such a notion floated up the pockmark-faced cultivator's mind while he observed Wei Suo leave.
"What exactly happened?"
If the group could notice Wei Suo's expression, they would realize his exceedingly sullen demeanor.
After his meeting with Ji Ya previously, Wei Suo could tell that if not for Dong Qingyi scheming to bring down the Precious Treasure Pavilion, Ji Ya would never agree to marrying him.
"If that fat cultivator's information is true, then the Precious Treasure Pavilion must be in perilous danger."
The reason Wei Suo previously consumed both a United Void Pellet and an Amethyst Fox Rose to improve a level of his cultivation, was because he was afraid of such a situation arising.
Now that he caught wind of this information, how would Wei Suo not be infuriated?
In spite of that, the fastest distance to Spirit Peak City still required 7-8 days. Still, there was no use for him panicking.
Hence, after traveling out of the range of the Divine King Gold Boat with an exceptionally downcast expression, Wei Suo finally calmed down.
After a momentary pause, he headed towards Lost Mist City and flew speedily towards a building enshrouded in a yellow light barrier.
There were more than ten emporium halls clustered together inside the yellow light barrier. Indeed, this was the only enormous merchant group in Lost Mist City, the Lost Mist Mill.
At present, the majority of cultivators were congregated inside Spirit Mushroom Valley. Therefore, the remainder of Lost Mist City seemed rather empty.
Two Lost Mist Sect disciples in-charge of guarding the main entrance of Lost Mist Mill quickly noticed Wei Suo. Their face flashed with surprise. Why isn't this individual viewing the event at Lost Mist Valley but running to our Lost Mist Mill instead?
Nevertheless, the two disciples of Divine Sea Stage level 4 cultivation remained extremely professional. Before the puzzled Wei Suo could inquire about entering the yellow light barrier, a Lost Mist sect disciple spontaneously welcomed him in and politely greeted.
"Is it senior's first visit to our Lost Mist Mill? This forbidden control formation of Lost Mist Mill only restricts cultivators from casting skills, senior may enter without worrying."
Wei Suo nodded and cut to the chase, "I have a friend that is heavily wounded while hunting demonic beasts, I urgently need to procure some pellet medicines to heal him."
The two Lost Mist disciples glanced at each other with enlightened expressions. The Lost Mist Sect disciple that welcomed him maintained his professional bearing and replied, "I see, can I invite senior to follow me."
"Please wait here, senior." After leading Wei Suo into a large hall on the left, the Lost Mist Sect quickly walked in and returned with a fair looking, middle-aged cultivator in black robe.
"I heard this brother has a friend that was heavily wounded while hunting demonic beasts, and wishes to procure healing pellet medicines?" The fair looking individual was a Heaven Circuit Stage 2 cultivator. He surveyed Wei Suo and replied without unnecessary words, "This brother, may I know what kind of injury your friend sustained?"
"His internal organs were injured by a collision from a demonic oxen. His ribs are mostly fractured as well," Wei Suo answered expressionlessly. "I've already employed several pellets to sustain his life, but am unable to prevent his wounds from worsening. I wonder if your prestigious mill has any suitable spirit pellets?"
"Without the aid of spirit pellets, how long more can your friend hang on?" The fair looking cultivator asked, but fearing that Wei Suo would misunderstand, he added, "Because brother didn't bring along your friend, I have to determine the state of your friend's injury."
Wei Suo's eyes flickered and replied, "Not more than 20 hours."
"20 hours? His wounds seems critical." The fair looking cultivator paused briefly and continued, "A collision by a demonic beast isn't hard to deal with. My Mill presently has three types of pellet medicines, namely: Kind Energy Pellet, Little Good Luck Pellet and Little Long Life Pellet. They should ease this brother's concern."
"I want the best and fastest one," Wei Suo directly blurted.
The fair looking cultivator replied, "The best pellet is the Little Long Life Pellet, but its price is double that of the other two at 2,000 low grade spiritual stones."
"Still an acceptable valuation." Wei Suo mused and replied, "How long will the Little Long Life Pellet take to restore my friend's condition?"
The fair looking cultivator pondered and replied, "Based on your description just now, his internal organs should be fully healed within five days of resting. Even if he utilizes true energy vigorously again, it wouldn't worsen his condition. However, the fractured ribs will need more days to heal."
Wei Suo nodded. "Does the esteemed Mill possess better pellet medicines than the Little Long Life Pellet?"
"Oh?" The fair looking cultivator's eyes flashed with intrigue. After muttering to himself he answered.
"For pellet medicines with better healing efficacies, the north mill possesses the ancient Hundred Grass Pellet. By consuming it, your friend will have no problems recovering within two days. However, the medicinal strength is extremely potent and greatly lowers the chances of cultivators forming their own dan. Nine out of ten cultivators will become incapable of bearing a golden dan. Therefore, cultivators who wishes to breakthrough the Thought Division Stage level 5 cultivation, will refrain from consuming that pellet medicine. Even if they purchase it, it is only retained for emergency situations."
"Consuming this ancient Hundred Grass Pellet will hinder one's cultivating progress?" Wei Suo replied. "I heard that an Amethyst Fox Rose can expel the impurities of medicinal strength. If one can find an Amethyst Fox Rose, will it be able to expel the impurities of that pellet?"
"The impurities of this pellet is different from other pellet medicines. It will not hinder a cultivator prior to the Golden Dan Stage." The fair looking cultivator smiled bitterly and continued, "As for the Amethyst Fox Rose, it is an exceedingly rare spirit medicine also known as bone marrow cleansing flower. Of course it can cleanse the impurities of the Hundred Grass Pellet, but the Amethyst Fox Rose is too precious and rare. I've only heard of it before but haven't seen it. Throughout my 15 years in the Mill, I've yet to come across a single stalk of Amethyst Fox Rose."
Wei Suo paused briefly and asked, "How much spiritual stones does the Hundred Grass Pellet cost?"
"If brother really wishes, you can procure it for 3,000 low grade spiritual stones," the fair looking cultivator replied with surprise.
"I want one Little Long Life Pellet and also one Hundred Grass Pellet," Wei Suo noticed the surprise in his eyes and replied emotionlessly.
"Oh? Seems like brother wishes to save the Hundred Grass Pellet in case of an emergency?" The fair looking cultivator finally understood and gestured to the Lost Mist Sect disciple behind. "Go retrieve the Little Long Life Pellet and Hundred Grass pellet for our customer."
"Wait." Wei Suo's gaze flickered. "I wonder if this esteemed Mill also possesses any pellet medicine like the United Void Pellet, that can raise one's cultivation level within a short time. I wish to purchase one for emergencies as well."
"We currently do not possess such a pellet medicine." The fair looking cultivator shook his head. "But if brother is willing to wait, we can procure one for brother within 15 days."
"This one has matters on hand and cannot wait that long. Since that's the case, let me first purchase the two pellet medicines."
Wei Suo nodded and silently produced his spiritual stones pouch. He took out a total of 5,000 low grade spiritual stones and handed to the fair looking cultivator.
The fair looking cultivator then directly handed the spiritual stones to the Lost Mist Sect disciple behind.
Following that, the Lost Mist Sect disciple quickly strolled deeper into the mill, and soon returned with two white jade pellet bottles before handing them to Wei Suo.
"The dull golden one is the Little Long Life Pellet and the green one the Hundred Grass Pellet. Please do not mix them up." The fair looking cultivator advised Wei Suo as he inspected the two pellet bottles.
"Many thanks. This one needs to attend to my friend and will take my leave." Wei Suo immediately departed from Lost Mist Mill and headed swiftly for a mid-range transportation array out of Lost Mist City.
"What a strange person. Others are spending 300 low grade spiritual stones to be transported to visit the Mystic Wind Sect's Recruit Assembly. The Assembly has just begun but this person is spending 300 spiritual stones to leave the city."
The disciple in charge of the transportation array of Lost Mist City murmured to himself.
After paying the high fee of 300 low grade spiritual stones, Wei suo quickly disappeared into the divine light of the transportation array.
