Damian was now heading toward a medium-sized medicinal store to obtain some money.

He currently had fifty bottles of Body Nourishment Pills inside his storage ring.

Although they were only low-rank mortal-grade pills, there was always demand for them in the market, especially among weaker cultivators.

An old man behind the counter raised his head slightly, and after sensing Damian’s aura, he immediately stood up and smiled politely.

"Senior, welcome to my store. What can I help you with?"

Damian didn’t beat around the bush and directly placed ten pill bottles on the counter. "I want to sell these pills."

The old man picked up one bottle and carefully opened it to inspect the pills inside.

A moment later, he closed the bottle and nodded slightly. "Low-rank mortal-grade Body Nourishment Pills with decent quality."

He then calculated silently for a moment before speaking again. "One bottle normally sells for around five low-rank spirit stones."

Damian frowned slightly after hearing that. "Only five? Isn’t that a bit too cheap?"

The old man smiled bitterly and tried to explain without offending Damian.

"Senior, I’m sorry, but these pills are quite common. However, since Senior’s pills are decent in quality, I can offer six low-rank spirit stones per bottle."

Damian thought briefly. The price was lower than he expected, but what the old man said was true, so he could only sigh. "Fine."

The old man sighed in relief and soon took out sixty low-rank spirit stones before handing them to Damian.

Damian stored them inside his storage ring, and combined with his previous stones, he now had over one hundred and thirty low-rank spirit stones.

After that, Damian finally asked the important question. "What kind of pills can help repair damaged legs and spiritual roots?"

The old man frowned after hearing that and quickly walked toward one of the shelves before taking out a small bottle.

He placed it on the counter and explained, "This is a mid-rank mortal-grade Bone Restoration Pill. It can repair damaged bones and the flesh surrounding them."

Damian directly raised his eyebrow after hearing that.

The old man continued calmly. "So it can heal broken legs, and it is even effective for low-rank Qi Refining realm cultivators."

Damian nodded slightly, as Violetta’s leg injury was actually caused by broken bones, so these pills were perfect for her. "Price?"

The old man immediately answered, "Thirty-five low-rank spirit stones for one pill."

Damian clicked his tongue after hearing how expensive it was. It had to be known that this was only for one pill, not one whole bottle.

Remembering how badly Violetta’s leg was broken, he could only bite the bullet and buy it.

But before buying, Damian asked one more question. "For a low-rank Qi Refining cultivator, how many pills are needed to heal a broken leg?"

The old man thought for a moment and raised two fingers. "Two pills are generally more than enough to heal a broken leg for a low-rank Qi Refining cultivator."

Damian sighed. Still, two pills were not too bad, so without hesitation, he bought them immediately.

The old man smiled as he packed the two pills. "Thank you for your patronage, Senior."

Damian ignored the polite words and simply asked another question. "How about spiritual roots? What pills can heal them?"

The old man became silent for a few moments before sighing helplessly and answering.

"I’m sorry, Senior, but pills capable of restoring spiritual roots are extremely rare and expensive. At minimum, they are noble-grade pills, and even the cheapest ones could cost tens of thousands of low-rank spirit stones."

Damian immediately fell silent after hearing that. His current wealth wasn’t even a fraction of that amount.

The old man noticed his expression but still continued while laughing bitterly.

"Honestly, once someone’s spiritual root is ruined, most people simply give up, as that kind of injury is just too hard to heal."

Damian stayed silent for several moments before eventually storing the Bone Restoration Pills inside his storage ring.

Without giving any response, he directly left the store, and the old man sighed in relief after seeing that nothing had happened to his store.

Damian frowned, not knowing what to do. To think that repairing Violetta’s spiritual roots was even harder than he expected.

Just thinking about the terrifying price of a noble-grade treasure already made Damian’s head hurt.

"Damn it... tens of thousands of spirit stones? Just how the hell am I supposed to prepare that kind of money?"

And that wasn’t even considering whether such treasures would appear in a small city like this in the first place. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Most likely, even if he somehow gathered the money, he still wouldn’t be able to buy them.

Damian could only sigh and stop thinking too much about it. With his system, he would surely be able to get something useful sooner or later.

But now, the bigger problem was that he still needed to wait an entire week before being able to gift things to Violetta again.

Now he realized that the seven-day restriction was honestly annoying, but what could he do? It was the system’s rule.

Just as Damian was thinking about all of this, several nearby cultivators suddenly began talking loudly among themselves.

"Did you hear? A treasure has appeared in the Black Mist Forest."

"Yeah, I heard about it too, and apparently, several cultivators have already gone there to check it out."

Upon hearing them, Damian couldn’t help but slowly walk closer to hear some juicy news.

"From what I heard, there was a really strong energy fluctuation near the inner area just yesterday. I really want to go there."

"Are you crazy? There are already a lot of Foundation Establishment cultivators going there. If you go there, you’ll just get killed."

"So what? What if I get lucky and manage to get the treasure?"

"Lucky? In your dreams! It’s more likely that you’ll die without even leaving a corpse behind."

After hearing all that, Damian began to smile. He was, after all, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so of course he could try to join in.

His current situation was truly too poor, and for Violetta’s sake, he needed to get this treasure.

More importantly, he still had a week before he could trigger the system on her again, so this was the perfect time for him to go.
