Chapter 1528: Chapter 783 Grass Hall_3
“Fellow Daoist, our Dao Morale Sect only accepts top-ranked herb materials,”
the Dao boy said with quite a bit of pride.
In addition to assisting with the identification of elixirs, the Grass Hall also undertakes the refining of elixirs for others and sells elixirs practiced by its own disciples.
The disciples of the Dao Morale Sect are mainly alchemists, so the consumption of herb materials each year is tremendous.
This leads to the Dao Morale Sect, despite having the largest medicinal fields in the East Land, still having an extremely high demand for various herb materials, especially top-ranked ones. Each is like a turnip in a hole—if the self-cultivated ones are used up, one can only wait for hundreds to thousands of years.
Therefore, this results in the Grass Hall only accepting herb materials and never selling them.
After hearing this, Chen Mobai felt quite regretful.
He then inquired about how the undertaking of elixir refining is handled.
“Fellow Daoist, our Grass Hall has a list of the scope of elixirs that we undertake to refine. Those not on the list cannot be refined,”
the Dao boy said as he took out a jade slip and handed it to Chen Mobai, which was that list.
Chen Mobai took it and glanced at it, only to find that the highest rank of elixir listed was merely Rank-3.
This left him somewhat disappointed.
He had originally thought about whether he could gather a batch of materials for the Coagulation Infant Pill and have the Dao Morale Sect help with the refining.
After leaving the Grass Hall, He Sui, who was with him, lightly coughed and asked a question.
“I wonder if the senior has found a place to stay?”
Chen Mobai shook his head, and He Sui immediately started to describe the Spiritual Vein Cave Dwellings in Stone City.
Among them, the highest rank available for rent is a Fourth-Grade Spiritual Vein dwelling.
However, the price is also very expensive — a single Top-grade Spirit Stone per day.
Whereas for a Rank-3 cave dwelling, a Top-grade Spirit Stone can cover a residence for two months, which is about the same time as the Beidou Conference.
Generally, cultivators with more modest wealth would choose Rank-3 cave dwellings.
Chen Mobai considered, if he wanted a Fourth-Grade dwelling, then during the Beidou Conference, he would nearly have to spend the profits of nearly half a year from his Little Nan Mountain Shop.
That would be a bit too expensive…
“Senior, if you wish to reside in a Fourth-Grade cave dwelling, it just so happens that my elder brother’s Master has one that is vacant and can be a bit cheaper,”
He Sui spoke again at this time, apparently setting this up.
“I’ll consider it. Can you help me find that friend I mentioned earlier?”
Instead of agreeing right away, Chen Mobai asked about the missing Yan Shaoyin.
He Sui nodded after hearing this.
“Please wait for a moment, senior. I will inquire with the brother in charge here.”
About half an hour later, He Sui came back and brought some news to Chen Mobai.
“Previously, Guest Elder Yan Shaoyin lived in a Fourth-Grade cave dwelling, but after failing his Nascent Soul Formation, he moved into a Rank-2 dwelling, renting it for sixty years at a time, probably intending to wait there for death.”
From Fourth-Grade to Rank-2?
The drop was too steep.
Chen Mobai felt that if he were in Yan Shaoyin’s shoes, he would definitely not accept this.
Under the guidance of He Sui, they soon arrived at the outskirts of Stone City.
The closer to the center of Star Heaven Dao Sect’s cave dwellings, the more vigorous the Spiritual Energy.
The Seven Nascent Soul Cultivators’ dwellings are surrounded by Fifth-Order Spiritual Energy, and the central area of Stone City surrounding these features Fourth-Grade dwellings.
Stretching out a large circle further are Rank-3 dwellings.
And on the very outskirts, there is Rank-2, lower-grade Spiritual Energy.
Even Qi Cultivating Disciples of Star Heaven Dao Sect start off enjoying Rank-2 Spiritual Energy.
This kind of treatment caused Chen Mobai to marvel at the super power of the Tianhe Realm.
At the doorstep of Yan Shaoyin’s dwelling, He Sui knocked on the door.
Sometime later, the door was opened.
Recognizing the two people at the door, Yan Shaoyin’s face showed a look of resignation as expected.
“Is Sect Master Chen coming today to finish me off?”
Yan Shaoyin’s tone was tragic, conveying despair, yet there was also a kind of relief intertwined within it.
“Ah, senior, one must not engage in conflict within Stone City. Even if there are grievances, wait until I find a way to take him out of the city…”
He Sui, interpreting Yan Shaoyin’s words as Chen Mobai actually intending to take action, was greatly startled. In the midst of trying to stop him, he also proposed a compromise to secure Chen Mobai.
“What do you mean by that, Master Yan? Although we may not be friends, we are long-acquainted colleagues. Seeing you here elicits a feeling of homecoming joy, so I specifically sought you out wanting to catch up on old times. How could you suddenly slander me with baseless accusations?”
As he said this, Chen Mobai’s face was filled with displeasure, and he turned to leave.
He Sui was confused by this scene but immediately followed his principal customer and left as well.
Yan Shaoyin’s brows furrowed even more deeply upon witnessing this.
But seeing Chen Mobai’s receding back nearing the corner, he promptly called out to stop him.
“Pardon me, Sect Master Chen. I judged you unfairly with my narrow mind. Please, come inside for a chat.”
Hearing these words, Chen Mobai paused.
“You should go back today. I’ll have a talk with Master Yan, and you can find me here tomorrow,”
Chen Mobai told He Sui, who left without hesitation after hearing these words.
After all, with Chen Mobai being a Golden Core Cultivator, if he truly decided to take action, He Sui would certainly not be able to stop him.
The disciples of Star Heaven Dao Sect possessed that much judgment.
Shortly thereafter.
Chen Mobai had already followed Yan Shaoyin into the secluded Rank-2 stone courtyard.
