"Let me look into it; if there's still room in the city, I'd like to open a 'Star Moon Trading Company' here!"

Finally, Li Yunjing expressed his thoughts.

"Old Li, with that idea, you'll certainly have no problem!"

Fu Chao chuckled, rubbed his hands together, and said with a smile, "Nowadays, your status is different! I think you should approach Vice City Lord Wang; he'd be happy to give you a piece of land!"

"Hmm! Let's discuss this later! For now, let's visit some shops! If you find something you like, I'll cover it!"

Li Yunjing smiled, gestured invitingly, and casually walked into a shop called "Spirit Grass Pavilion" with Fu Chao.

Inside the shop, various spirit grasses were displayed, some exuding dense spiritual energy, others emitting exotic fragrances.

The shopkeeper noticed the two entering and quickly greeted them with a smile, "Fellow cultivators, what can I help you with? All our spirit grasses are freshly picked from the 'Transverse Mountain Range', they are of high quality and reasonably priced."

"What spirit grass is this? How much is it?"

Fu Chao picked up a spirit grass emitting a faint blue glow and casually asked.

The shopkeeper glanced at it and said with a smile, "You have a good eye! This is 'Blue Star Grass', one of the main ingredients for refining 'Concentration Pill', only five thousand low-grade spirit stones per plant."

Fu Chao nodded, looked at other spirit grasses, and finally picked a few he needed, paid with spirit stones.

Li Yunjing also had a great interest in spirit grasses; seeing the reasonably priced rare herbs, he barely stopped, paying for them all, purchasing them.

His generous manner almost made the shopkeeper unable to close his mouth with laughter!

So satisfying!

If all customers spent like this!

His shop wouldn't have issues with a backlog of spirit stones!

With stronger liquidity, he could purchase more spirit grasses and attract more customers.

Repeating this process would create a virtuous cycle!

Unfortunately, such lavish guests aren't commonplace!

Most of the common spirit grasses were almost bought.

Li Yunjing's gaze suddenly fell upon a peculiar spirit grass in the corner of the shop counter.

The spirit grass was entirely purple, with densely veined leaves forming pentagonal shapes, somewhat resembling purple maple leaves. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Shopkeeper, what spirit grass is that?"

Judging by its spiritual energy, this was a Tier Two Peak spirit grass, such a treasure Li Yunjing didn't want to miss, so he pointed to that purple spirit grass and asked.

The shopkeeper followed Li Yunjing's finger, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "You truly have a discerning eye, fellow cultivator! That's 'Purple-striped Dragon Beard Grass', extremely rare, it's a treasure of our shop."

"Oh? What's the use of this 'Purple-striped Dragon Beard Grass'?"

Li Yunjing asked.

Such a special herb, even with Li Yunjing's knowledge, he hadn't recognized it, thus humbly seeking advice.

The shopkeeper explained, "This 'Purple-striped Dragon Beard Grass' is one of the main ingredients for refining the 'Dragon Essence Pill', which can significantly enhance the physical strength of cultivators. However, this spirit grass is exceedingly rare, also expensive, one plant requires two thousand middle-grade spirit stones."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing's heart was moved.

His body had almost reached the Golden Core Realm Level, naturally not needing external help, but his women hadn't cultivated any body refining techniques, should he acquire this 'Purple-striped Dragon Beard Grass', and blend it with other herbs to refine 'Dragon Essence Pill', it would greatly benefit his women.

"Alright, I'll take this 'Purple-striped Dragon Beard Grass'."

Li Yunjing said without hesitation.

"You're straightforward, fellow cultivator!"

The shopkeeper, upon hearing this, immediately beamed with joy, "I'll wrap it up for you right away."

"Old Li, you really are wealthy and generous!"

Fu Chao couldn't help but click his tongue when he saw Li Yunjing being so generous, "Two thousand middle-grade spirit stones without batting an eye."

"Cultivation resources, the money that needs to be spent should still be spent."

Li Yunjing smiled and said lightly, "If, one day, I refine a 'Dragon Essence Pill', I'll give you one!"

"Haha! That would be great!"

Fu Chao laughed, feeling extremely satisfied.

After leaving the "Spirit Grass Pavilion", the two continued to stroll through several other shops.

Fu Chao bought some refining materials, while Li Yunjing purchased several bottles of high-quality elixirs in a shop called "Pill Cauldron Pavilion".

Of course, why would an Alchemy Master buy others' elixirs?

The reason is simple!

Only after purchasing a certain number of elixirs would "Pill Cauldron Pavilion" sell him some Tier Two pill formulas!

Of course, these pill formulas weren't mainstream.

Because many herbs were significantly missing, rarely seen even in a hundred years, having a formula but unable to refine the elixir, that's why "Pill Cauldron Pavilion" was willing to sell them to Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing wasn't foolish and naturally understood this logic.

However, he had no choice!

With the pill formulas in hand, through interpretation and finding substitutes, he might further elevate his alchemy level. But without the pill formulas, Li Yunjing would have no time to focus all his efforts on alchemy and naturally wouldn't have time to interpret the Alchemy Dao.

Weighing the pros and cons, Li Yunjing considered it thoroughly.

It was like spending money to buy some scratch tickets to test his luck.

If lucky, by researching a pill formula and finding a substitute method, he might be able to refine a new elixir.

At that time, the profits would far exceed the mere pill formulas.

After exploring the market, the two arrived at a restaurant called "Drunken Immortal Tower" to take a short break.

"Drunken Immortal Tower" is one of the most famous restaurants in "City of Glory," reputedly its spirit wine and spiritual food are top-grade, attracting numerous high-tier cultivators to savor.
