I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 56 - 55: Returning to the Marketplace, Choosing a Location for the Pill Shop

Chapter 56: Chapter 55: Returning to the Marketplace, Choosing a Location for the Pill Shop

Martial Arts Palace.

Wang Xinyu looked at the body data Lin Chen sent, with a face full of amazement.

"How long has it been... Are you about to become a Martial Master?"

"Tsk tsk... Looks like I have to make you a new set of battle armor again."

She pondered for a while and asked:

"What do you think... should we directly craft you a Martial Spirit-level armor?"

Lin Chen pondered for a moment upon hearing this.

Martial Spirit-level armor is extremely expensive, generally over ten billion Great Xia currency.

Because not only is the armor entirely made from exotic metal, it is also equipped with strong firepower.

It’s no exaggeration to say that a high-level Martial General wearing armor could rival a Martial Spirit.

And if a Martial Spirit powerhouse wears such level of armor, encountering a Martial Sect... at least it won’t die too unsightly.

"Hmm, although I’m currently in a period of rapid strength growth... as my realm advances, the speed of improvement will inevitably decline."

"By the time I reach the Martial General, Martial Spirit level, improvement should not be so fast then..."

Lin Chen thought to himself, as the Martial Arts Realm advances, the difference in Qi and Blood Value will also become greater.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen said sincerely:

"Then I’ll bother you, Sister Xinyu... I want something that looks like the Celestial Demon Battle Armor!"

"Your safety will always be the top priority! The Martial Spirit armor... should be enough for you for a while."

After saying this, she handed over a slightly larger iron box.

"This box contains thirty replicas of Five Thunders, all made according to your previous requirements..."

"The research institute is also speeding up production, it shouldn’t be a problem to produce a few thousand more within a week."

Lin Chen took the iron box and put it into the nanobag.

"There’s no need for so many Five Thunders for now... The transaction for this stuff is risky, these thirty should be enough for two transactions."

Lin Chen nodded.

Although with the technology on Blue Star, creating Five Thunders is a breeze.

But after all, this thing is a rarity in the Cultivation Realm, scarcity commands a premium. If he sells too many at once, it might inevitably arouse suspicion.

Checking the equipment he had with him, once fully prepared, the countdown on his arm was also about to reset.

Wang Xinyu, Wang Lishan, and others watched Lin Chen nervously, worried every time he traveled.

Lin Chen appeared relaxed, silently counting in his heart:

"Three, two, one..."

Reset the countdown!

Lin Chen’s vision also began to change...

...

Changchun Sect, Pill Peak, disciple’s residence.

Lin Chen skillfully packed his weapon into the storage bag.

Seeing the storage bag completely filled, he frowned slightly.

"After this trip down the mountain, it seems I need to buy a larger storage bag..."

With more and more supplies brought from Blue Star, a mere three-foot storage bag could no longer suffice.

Soon, his master Han Jihai brought breakfast. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

After eating spiritual food, Lin Chen practiced for another two hours.

With the improvement of the Breathing Technique, the pace of cultivation brought by spiritual food became even more remarkable.

Until morning, Lin Chen left Pill Peak and walked towards the marketplace at the foot of the mountain.

He first spent ten spirit stones on a long-term stay of one year at an inn.

Afterward, Lin Chen arrived at the Spirit Medicine Pavilion.

In the Spirit Medicine Pavilion, Huang Xin was busy counting herbs and pills.

Upon seeing Lin Chen, his face instantly showed joy.

"Senior Brother Lin! Are you here to sell pills again this time?" Huang Xin greeted him.

Lin Chen nodded, took out ten bottles of Qi Blood Pill and ten bottles of Qi Nourishing Pill, and said:

"My master asked me to come sell them... a total of twenty bottles of pills, can you check them?"

"Additionally... I also need a batch of spiritual medicine."

Huang Xin responded quickly:

"Is it made by the Peak Master? No wonder... I was wondering why the quality is so good."

"Senior Brother, please wait, I’ll go ask the shopkeeper..."

With that, he ran up to the second floor.

Soon, the fat shopkeeper came downstairs again, first verifying the pill quality.

Then he courteously said:

"So it was crafted by Taoist Friend Han... I met him once many years ago."

"Speaking of it, this shop was actually bought from Taoist Friend Han back then..."

Lin Chen frowned slightly after hearing this.

He indeed had heard from his master, since he failed the Core Formation attempt, he sold the shop.

He didn’t expect a coincidence that his master’s shop back then is the current Spirit Medicine Pavilion.

"A total of two hundred pills... If you buy some spiritual medicine, I’ll price them higher for you, how about a total of four hundred spirit stones?"

Lin Chen nodded in agreement, the price seemed fair.

Qi Nourishing Pill is considered a consumable, a bottle priced at just ten spirit stones.

Although Qi Nourishing Pill made through instruments is upper grade, it is not as valuable as the Qi Blood Pill.

With money and goods cleared, Lin Chen received four hundred spirit stones.

Just as he was about to purchase herbs, the fat shopkeeper suddenly sighed beside him and said:

"Young Friend, you’ve been quite a regular customer... If you buy more herbs, I can offer you a twenty percent discount."

Lin Chen was slightly stunned after hearing this, last time this fat shopkeeper was stingy, why did he actively offer a discount this time.

Seeing his confusion, the fat shopkeeper explained:

"Alas, my shop is about to close... I can’t let this batch of herbs be stuck with me, naturally they have to be sold."

Lin Chen felt a stir in his heart and puzzled asked:

"Isn’t it due to bad management, so you want to transfer the shop?"

The fat shopkeeper shook his head.

"Business in the shop is actually okay, after all, Changchun Sect procures a batch of pills every month..."

"But I’m getting old, yet still far from Core Formation... Wasting more years, I’m afraid Core Formation will be hopeless in my life."

"I’ve saved some spirit stones over the years, I’ve decided to buy some Magical Treasures for protection, travel outside, explore ruins and secret realms... to seek the Golden Core path!"

After saying that, the fat shopkeeper’s eyes showed a bit of sorrow, chanting:

"Not being a Golden Core Guest for a day, immortality is like the moon in the mirror..."

Lin Chen remained silent after hearing this.

For someone like the fat shopkeeper, he’s already a "high-end" loose cultivator.

But even so...

Even if talented and skilled in business, smoothly reaching Foundation Establishment, it’s very likely to be stuck before the Core Formation Realm, unable to make any progress.

Ultimately having to gamble for a breakthrough opportunity.

"Core Formation Realm is far from me... better focus on the present first!"

"However... the fat shopkeeper wants to sell the shop, it might be an opportunity for me!"

Thinking of this, Lin Chen asked:

"Shopkeeper, have you found anyone to take over?"

The fat shopkeeper shook his head helplessly:

"How can it be so easy? My shop still has another two-year lease term, plus quite a stockpile of herbs and pills..."

"Pills are easy to sell, but those herbs require a buyer. The shop along with those herbs, if sold for less than three thousand spirit stones, I’ll incur a huge loss..."

The fat shopkeeper was helpless, there aren’t many loose cultivators who can take out three thousand spirit stones at once.

But he can’t wait too long, he must quickly sell it, or it’ll be too late to search for Core Formation opportunities outside...

Lin Chen calculated silently after hearing this.

Three thousand spirit stones is indeed a large sum.

But the pill shop isn’t small, and can buy batches of herbs at a low price... If he misses such an opportunity, it would be hard to stumble upon another.

Moreover, Lin Chen urgently needs to establish a pill shop to cover his tracks, facilitating his actions.

So Lin Chen pondered for a moment and said:

"Shopkeeper, my master mentioned a few days ago wanting to re-enter the pill shop business... can the shopkeeper let go and sell the shop to my master?"
