Chapter 1970: Deposit

ncounters, Li Miaozhen truly felt a trace of fear towards that man from the bottom of her heart. The arrogance and confidence she had at the beginning were gone.The horrific scene of several people, i..."Antivenom is rather simple for me. I can use the Soul Returning Nine Needles to expel all the toxins from your body."

But this is at most only half the solution, because your meridians have been eroded by toxins for a long time and are already fragile, still unable to withstand the impact of true Qi.

To be completely healed, I still need to refine a furnace of Nourishing Meridian Pills, to warm and nurture the damaged meridians. It should take about three to five days for a complete recovery.

Ye Bufan said, "It's fortunate that the poison you have seems to be suppressed by something. Otherwise, if your meridians were completely dissolved now, you would be completely disabled."

Upon hearing that his own poison could be cured, and his injuries could also heal, Li Dao-ran's tense heart immediately eased a great deal.

"After I was poisoned, I was in excruciating pain, my meridians dissolving every day, and my cultivation regressing."

Later, by chance, I was drowning my sorrows in alcohol and was surprised to find that strong liquor could suppress this toxin. Although it couldn't completely detoxify me, it could slow down the erosion of my meridians.

That's precisely why I've relied on alcohol these many years, to suppress the toxicity of the Huì Mài Sàn.

That day facing Shi Wanche, it was good you took that guy out, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to save you relying on just old man.

His meridians are not completely destroyed, but he can't even exert one-tenth of his cultivation.

Dealing with a Nascent Soul realm Di Rong is still manageable, but facing a true Core Formation mid-stage expert is absolutely out of the question.

"I didn't expect alcohol to have this effect, it seems like a blessing in disguise for the seniors."

"Ye Bufan said as he took out the gold needles, "I'll help you detoxify now."

With his current medical skills, treating this toxin wouldn't be too difficult.

About half an hour later, a mouthful of black blood spurted from Li Dao'ran's mouth. As soon as it hit the ground, a plume of black smoke rose, showing the extreme toxicity.

"Alright, Senior. Rest up for now. I'll figure out how to gather the herbs and refine a Rejuvenating Meridian Pill for you."

Ye Bufan said, taking out a black pill, "This is Strong Bones Pill. While it's not as good as Nourishing Meridian Pill for nourishing the meridians, it still has some effect. Senior, please take it to recover."

"Little one, your great kindness old man has taken note of."

Li Daran didn't say much politely, took the pill and threw it into his mouth, then began to meditate cross-legged, using true qi to slowly nourish the damaged meridians.

Ye Bufan walked out of the room. At this moment, everyone had returned to their own residence for cultivation.

As cultivators, we all know the top priority is to improve our cultivation base, ensuring we achieve a better ranking in the newcomer's tournament.

Even Nalan Yuyun, who wasn't participating in the competition, returned to cultivation. Her only purpose was to become stronger and protect the man she loved.

Ye Bufan did not disturb them, Lu Xue Man, Hu...

(To be continued, please turn the page)

Yao Yao, Chu Lingxi, and Jiang Fangzhou's four people's cultivation levels have just been improved by pills. In the short term, the most important thing is to consolidate their foundation.

It will take a few more days to further enhance oneself with pills. Otherwise, rushing for quick results could lead to an unstable foundation.

As for Nalan Yu Jia, he doesn't currently have any pills that could improve the cultivation of a Core Formation Stage expert. It seems he needs to hurry up and prepare the ingredients for refining a batch.

There are still a few herbs needed for Li Dao Ran's nourishing meridian pills. Although his Dragon King Palace has many medicinal materials, not everything is available, and some are still missing.

Thinking this, he turned his head and walked down the mountain, preparing to gather the medicinal herbs needed for refining pills.

A pill that can help cultivators during the Integration Stage improve their cultivation base is called Kun Cheng Dan and belongs to the category of high-grade pills.

Whether it's the Qun Cheng Dan or the Yang Mai Dan, the required medicinal herbs are all very precious and not available in ordinary drugstores. He went straight to Ju Bao Ge.

With the VIP card given to him by Luo Yudi, he had smooth sailing all the way and went straight to the sales hall.

Compared to the Treasure Pavilion in Tianlang City, this place is much larger. All kinds of treasures are displayed on the sales counters, including various weapons, medicinal herbs, and even materials for refining equipment.

In contrast, there are more guests here, coming and going constantly.

Everything on the first floor was of a lower grade, and Ye Bufan wasn't in a hurry. He strolled around for a while, then couldn't help but frown slightly.

He had visited the Gathering Treasures Pavilion in Tianlang City, where under Luo Yudi's management, although its scale was not as grand as this one, every item was of great value and truly deserved the name "Gathering Treasures Pavilion".

But the things he had just seen were somewhat different. Although most of them were still good, there were some inferior things and even counterfeits appearing among them.

It's not worth the high price at all; it's far from a treasure.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly. It seemed that being the Pavilion Master wasn't just about luck. The Jubao Pavilion after the change was far inferior to what it used to be.

But these things had little to do with him, and he didn't pay them any mind as he walked upward all the way to the fifth floor.

This is the top floor of the Treasure Pavilion, and everything inside is top-of-the-line. Compared to other floors, the prices are also higher, often reaching tens of millions of gold coins.

That is why not many guests come to this level.

"Esteemed guest, what can I do for you"

A female attendant politely came up to greet the guest.

"I want Qingwu vines, blue berries..."

Ye Bufan listed the herbs he needed.

The female attendant's expression changed slightly after he finished speaking: "This distinguished guest, the medicinal herbs you need are simply too precious. I can't make the decision myself. Please wait a moment."

(To be continued, please turn the page)

Ye Bufan was not surprised by her reaction. For such a rare elixir, an ordinary receptionist certainly couldn't make the call; it had to be someone in charge.

Soon, the female attendant brought over a man in his forties or fifties. He was Zhang Laifú, the new chief manager of Jubao Pavilion.

This person was short and stout, with a round, greasy face. His small eyes were not particularly noticeable, but they gave off an air of cunning.

After seeing Ye Bufan, a flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it returned to normal in an instant.

"Dear guest, I am Zhang Laifu, the chief manager of this Ju Bao Ge. If you need anything, please tell me."

Although the other person's astonishment only lasted for a fleeting moment, Ye Bufan could still clearly see that the other person definitely recognized him.

But he didn't mind these things. Whether the other party knew him or not was unimportant; what mattered was gathering all the medicinal herbs.

So he repeated the herbs he had mentioned before, and asked, "Zhang Guanxi, do you have these herbs here"

Zhang Laifu said, "I'm sorry, all of these you mentioned are rare herbs. Our Tianfeng Empire branch doesn't have them. We need to order them from headquarters."

Ye Bufan frowned: "How long will it take"

Zhang Laifu said, “If everything goes smoothly, we could deliver it by this time tomorrow.”

"Yes!"

Ye Bufan agreed. Since there was no other way here, he could only accept the resupply.

Zhang Lai Fu said with a smile, "According to the rules of our Ju Bao Ge, if you want to adjust goods, you have to pay half the fee first."

“Oh!” asked Ye Bufan, “How much does it cost”

He wasn't against the idea of a down payment. It was common practice both in the Kunlun Immortal Realm and on Earth; otherwise, what if someone brought the goods and you refused to pay

"The total cost of these herbs is ten billion gold coins. I'll collect half the fee upfront, five billion gold coins."

"Yes!"

Although five hundred million gold coins wasn't a small sum, Ye Bufan was now incredibly wealthy and didn't hesitate to toss over a storage ring. It contained exactly five hundred million gold coins.

He then asked, "Zhang Guanxi, you received a deposit here. Is there any proof"

"I'm sorry, we have never issued certificates. The three words "Juzhaogge" are the golden signboard of our reputation."

Zhang Lai Fu swore solemnly, "This time tomorrow, our esteemed guest will come here to collect the goods, or you can leave us your address and we will have someone deliver them to you."

"No need, I'll pick it up myself tomorrow."

Ye Bufan didn't think much about it, he turned and left the treasure pavilion.

As soon as he left, Zhang Laifu's smile vanished instantly. He then hurried toward the back room.
