Chen Xiang was cultivating with the [Azure Dragon Divine Exercise], which was an exercise attributed to wood. Azure Dragon True Qi contained a large amount of elemental life force, thus it would be helpful to cultivate spirit herbs. There is even a special exercise called [Dragon Water Training] that provides assistance in planting and growing plants. After casting the [Dragon Water Exercise] mystical liquid would be made from his Azure Dragon True Qi, which when applied to spirit herbs, accelerated its growth.
Practicing the [Heavenly Training Vermillion Bird] could allow one to create and release flames. These flames were extremely important in alchemy.
[Four Symbols heavenly practice] was a very diverse one, and there were many fierce exercises in it, but, because Chen Xiang's strength was not high enough, he could not practice most of them.
Currently, Chen Xiang had 3000 large spirit coins, equivalent to 300,000 small spirit coins, but it was still not enough for him to purchase ‘Baptising Marrow Dan’ Mid-level Mortal Level. Because of the price, ordinary martial artists usually could not afford to buy dans, even the cheapest ones were extremely expensive.
[TLN: I prefer to use Dan ( ⁇ ) instead of Pills, I will use Dan instead of using Pill. For example: – I will use ‘Baptizing Marrow Dan’ instead of using ‘Baptizing Marrow Pill’.]
In the entire city of Wohu, there was only one place that specialized in selling dans, namely the Spirit Dan Hall. It was a four-story building and, although not very large, the items sold inside were rather expensive. Moreover, the sixteen and a half acres behind Spirit Dan Hall was the mansion where they grew spirit herbs.
Although the Spirit Dan Hall was not related to any clan, it was not weak as they had many experts in it. One could even find alchemists within Spirit Dan Halls, who were highly respected for their work. After all, dans were extremely rare and the benefits were immense, allowing martial artists to increase their strength.
As Chen Xiang walked inside the Spirit Dan Hall, he smelled the scent of herbs that smelled in the hall, creating a calming sensation for all who inhaled them. There are many counters, each counter selling different types of dans and herbs.
Before coming here, Su Meiyao told Chen Xiang to start training with low-level Dans, thus, he intended to refine Low-Level Mortal and ‘Quenching Body Dan’. It was cheap and easy to sell, one Dan could be sold for around 700 spirit coins, and anyone below level 4 of the Mortal Martial Realm could get a significant boost from consuming one.
“Young master, spirit dance for sale there, this booth specially sell spirit herbs!” The speaker was a beautiful girl standing behind the counter.
There weren't many people inside the Spirit Dan Hall, so Chen Xiang was conspicuous, but, even if he saw Chen Xiang wearing shabby clothes, he didn't underestimate him, either, because he knew that hidden experts sometimes came to the Hall of Spirit Dan.
“Ah Yes. I want to buy seeds of spirit herbs needed to perfect ‘Body Cooling Dan’. Do you sell it here?” Chen Xiang asked as he walked over to the beautiful girl.
Very few people came to buy seedlings, as few had the ability to plant them. Those who were able to cultivate it were generally affiliated with great powers and were responsible for handling the herb garden, furthermore, they were generally quite proficient in alchemy. They were treated as treasures by those powers and were rarely allowed out for a walk.
The girl was a little surprised but still spoke with a sweet smile, “Of course, to fix ‘Quenching Body Dan’ you will need four herbs. Same price for all seeds. The price is quite cheap, only 100 large spirit coins for each seedling.”
Herbs needed for ‘Quenching body and’ are ‘Azure Spirit Grass’, ‘Blood Element Flower’, ‘Profound Bright Flower’, and ‘Spirit Leaf Grass’.
Chen Xiang thought for a moment, then said, “Give me five each.”
400 Spirit coins for a set makes it 2000 for five. Chen Tianhu only gave him 3000 large spirit coins. More than half of his wealth is gone. It seemed that even the most basic Dans were too expensive for ordinary martial artists to consume.
The girl was surprised, because she did not know anyone her age in Wohu city who could practice alchemy techniques and plant herbs.
“I'll take it for you, so please wait a minute.” The girl did not think that Chen Xiang was playing around with her because the people who were playing around with Spirit Dan Hall generally ended up regretting it.
“Well, what do we have here?” A handsome teenager, dressed in a magnificent and expensive white robe and holding a fan, descended from the stairs and looked at Chen Xiang with disdain.
The upper floors of Spirit Dan Hall sold dans of higher rank, and the people who could ascend were all distinguished guests.
“Are your eyes behind you? Shut the fuck up! Why every time you open your mouth, bullshit comes out. ” Chen Xiang, curled his lips, replied.
Chen Zhenhua's face turned green, “Chen Xiang, I admit that you were very tough when we were young, but you don't have a spiritual pulse, you don't have a spiritual pulse, so now I can beat you with my hands tied behind my back!”
Chen Xiang, being at level 5 of the Mortal Martial Realm, could only laugh at these words. No matter how strong someone at level 4 was, they were definitely not his opponent.
“This is Chen Xiang? The current grandson of the Patriarch of the Chen Family? I heard that he has no spiritual tone and is forever stuck in the 3rd level of the Mortal Martial Realm, it seems like he is here for some dans! A beautiful girl walked out from behind Chen Zhenhua and looked at Chen Xiang with disdain.
Chen Xiang recognized this girl, she was the daughter of the governor of Wohu City.
“It looks like birds with the same feathers are actually gathering together! I didn't expect the governor's daughter to be so shallow, willing to be seen with such a person. ” Chen Xiang said, then no longer pay attention to them, even though he suffered and was humiliated by them, now he was much stronger than them, having worked diligently to gain strength. Therefore, his mind was much more mature than the two in front of him.
Seeing Chen Xiang no longer paying attention to them, Chen Zhenhua the girl became furious. Chen Zhenhua wanted to show off in front of the governor's daughter, so she walked towards Chen Xiang.
“Young master, this is the spirit herb seed you requested.” The girl returned with her orders, taking out the seedlings from the storage pouch.
Chen Zhenhua was surprised that Chen Xiang was here to buy seeds! This was a surprise to Chen Zhenhua, but he laughed scornfully and said, “Chen Xiang, you don't even have a spiritual pulse, are you really thinking of planting spirit herbs. Don't tell me you want to become an alchemy master? It's so funny!”
Since there aren't many people in the Spirit And Hall, it's usually very quiet inside, so, so, when everyone heard someone loudly talking about someone who had no spiritual tone and wanted to become an alchemy master, they could not help but stop and stare.
Chen Xiang was famous in the city, after all, his grandfather was the Patriarch of the Chen family, his father was a famous figure, and he had no spiritual tone. Most people, when talking about the Patriarch of the Chen family and Chen Tianhu, always ended up sighing.
Chen Xiang secretly paid the money and received the spirit herb seedlings. He chose to ignore everyone's gaze. Just as he was about to leave, Chen Zhenhua, while sneering, said, “Only someone, threw away so many spirit herbs.”
Chen Xiang's brows furrowed. When Chen Zhenhua said he had no spiritual tone, he chose to ignore it. He had been ridiculed before, but he could not tolerate being called a waste.
When everyone saw the Chen family children fighting, they were happy in their hearts, because they knew it would be an interesting show to watch!
Chen Xiang turned around and looked at the arrogant Chen Zhenhua. Suddenly a palm-shaped flame gushed out from his palm, making many people start to feel like they were in a sauna.
Within the Spirit And Hall, there were many people who had excellent insights, so they were well aware that these flames were not ordinary flames, but were actually alchemy flames!
“Chen Zhenhua, I challenge you to try to face this True Qi flame, created by ‘limbah’.” Chen Xiang spoke in a dark and emotionless tone.
Only those with special talents and rare cultivation practice can create True Qi fire. They had to be born with this type of talent and be able to comprehend the minute changes within the True Qi flames.
Since Chen Zhenhua was so close to Chen Xiang, his entire body was sweating. The beautiful girl behind the counter was also in the same condition, making her thin clothes drenched in fragrant sweat, making her seductive curves stand out.
This fierce flame made everyone in the Spirit Dan Hall stand still, stupid like a wooden chicken.
[TLN: “Stupid like a woodworking hen” it comes from the silat story of Indon hehehe.].
