Chapter 274: Chapter 272: The Shop Bullies the Customer
The two black-armored ghost creatures glanced at the token shown by the dark-skinned youth, gave him a bow, and let him pass.
The dark-skinned youth climbed the stairs to the fourth floor, his figure quickly disappearing.
Shen Luo’s eyes were fixed on the back of the dark-skinned youth, his expression full of unease.
“It seems that the white token is the qualification to enter there, hm, what’s the matter with you?” Xie Yuxin said, then noticed Shen Luo’s expression and asked.
Shen Luo was silent for a moment, reached into his pocket, and when he pulled his hand out, a white token was in his palm, the same that the child had given him earlier.
One side of the token was marked with a black and white cross pattern, and the other side had a skull pattern.
Although the dark-skinned youth had only flashed his token for a moment, both Shen Luo and Xie Yuxin had clearly seen its appearance. The token in Shen Luo’s hand was identical to that of the youth.
“Where did you get this from!” Xie Yuxin asked excitedly.
Shen Luo had no intention to hide it and explained the origin of the token.
“That means, that child is not an ordinary person! Anyway, let’s not worry about that, let’s go up too!” Xie Yuxin was pensive for a moment, then shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He seemed eager to proceed.
“Wait a moment, I’ll buy the elixir first, then we can go.” Shen Luo said.
“Ah, right! I’m sorry, I was too excited to proceed to the upper floor. I almost forgot about your important matter.” Xie Yuxin spoke apologetically.
Shen Luo chuckled, not bothered, and so they entered the shops on the third floor.
There were fewer ghost creatures purchasing elixirs here than below, so the third floor was much quieter.
“What kind of elixir would you like?” a white-robed attendant quickly greeted them as they walked in.
“Do you have any elixir that can assist in breaking through the Grain Avoidance Stage?” Without wasting time, Shen Luo got straight to the point.
“Are you looking for Breaking-realm Pills for the Grain Avoidance Stage? Then you’ve come to the right place. Only our Impermanence Pavilion has it in the whole Ghost Market.” A red-haired ghost woman with canine teeth protruding from her botched a short distance walked over. Apart from her two pointed teeth, she looked no different from ordinary people. She greeted them with a smile.
This woman appeared to be the shopkeeper. The white-robed attendant bowed and then retreated after seeing her.
“Where are the pills? Take us to see them.” Shen Luo, trying to keep his excitement in check, spoke casually.
“These kinds of pills are not displayed outside. They are kept in the inner chamber. Please follow me.” The red-haired ghost woman gladly invited them in.
Shen Luo nodded, and together with Xie Yuxin, followed the red-haired woman into an interior room.
The room was much smaller than the outside, only about forty to fifty feet in size. It was elaborately decorated, and prohibitions seemed to be set up around it. No sound from the outside could be heard.
In the center of the room was a small counter, surrounded by a prohibition of white light. Inside it were eight medicine vials of different colors, each more exquisite than the ones outside.

The eight vials were divided into two rows; the top row had six and the bottom row had two.
“The six kinds of elixirs above are for the Qi Refining Stage, and the two below are for the Grain Avoidance Stage. All of them were made by our alchemy master of the Impermanence Pavilion and are very effective.” The red-haired ghost woman stated somewhat conceitedly.
Shen Luo glanced at the eight vials, each of which had a name attached.
He paid no attention to the six vials above and looked at the two kinds of Grain Avoidance Stage pills below, which were named Five Dragon Pill and Liquid Condensation Pill respectively.
“These two pills both aid in breaking through the Grain Avoidance Stage but have different effects. As the name suggests, the Liquid Condensation Pill mainly helps in condensing Mana into a liquid state, while the Five Dragon Pill mainly helps in opening up Meridians.” The red-haired ghost woman explained.
Shen Luo inwardly nodded, the elixirs in the Ghost Market were indeed superior to the ones in Jianye City. The effect was described much more thoroughly. The effect of the Solidifying Yuan Pill had not been as clear.
Of course, it could also be that he didn’t have enough understanding of the Solidifying Yuan Pill.
“How much can these two pills increase the chances of breakthrough into the Grain Avoidance Stage?” He then asked the question he cared about the most.
“The Five Dragon Pill and the Liquid Condensation Pill have similar effects, both can increase the chances by twenty to thirty percent.” The red-haired woman said.
Hearing this, Shen Luo’s eyes lighted up with joy. As expected, the effects of these two pills were superior to the Solidifying Yuan Pill.
“Listening to you just now, one of these pills helps condense Mana into a liquid, and the other helps open up Meridians. Can these two pills be taken at the same time?” He asked, remembering something.
“No, many of the ingredients in the Five Dragon Pill and the Liquid Condensation Pill have conflicting properties. They absolutely cannot be taken at the same time.” The red-haired ghost woman hurriedly responded.
Shen Luo, who had a profound understanding of medicinal principles, surely knew that one should not take pills indiscriminately. He was merely asking in case he was in luck.
“How much Xianyu for these two pills?” After being silent for a while, he asked.
“The Five Dragon Pill costs one hundred and fifty Xianyu, and the Liquid Condensation Pill costs one hundred and seventy Xianyu.” The red-haired ghost woman said straightforwardly with a gleam of amusement in her eyes.
Shen Luo’s brows furrowed. Although he knew that the Breaking-realm Pills for the Grain Avoidance Stage would be expensive, the price was outrageous. It was enough to buy a top-grade magical instrument!
“Let me think about it.” He fell silent for a moment before responding.
“Of course, you can take your time in deciding. Excuse me for now.” The red-haired ghost woman still had a smile on her face, as if she was certain Shen Luo would buy the pills. She turned around and walked away.
“Elder Brother Xie, what do you think?” As soon as the red-haired ghost woman left, Shen Luo immediately sought Xie Yuxin’s opinion.
“Indeed, the effects of these two pills are quite good, but the price… seems like a rip-off.” Xie Yuxin frowned.
A dark expression crossed Shen Luo’s face. Even though the price was outrageous, they only sold Breaking-realm Pills for the Grain Avoidance Stage in the entire Ghost Market. Even if they were ripping him off, he could only forcibly accept it. After all, failing to break through to the Grain Avoidance Stage would make everything else pointless.
“Brother Shen, I think you don’t have to decide right now. We still have to go to the fourth floor. Maybe we can find better pills there. If we can’t find any, we can come down and buy these two.” Xie Yuxin said, seeing Shen Luo’s face.
“Right! That makes sense.” Shen Luo realized, his gloomy expression disappearing immediately.
Not wanting to waste time there, the two soon left.
“How did the two customers consider?” The red-haired ghost woman, who was waiting outside, asked with a smile when she saw Shen Luo and Xie Yuxin emerge.
A white-robed attendant was standing not far away, holding a tray. On it were two vials of pills, which were the Five Dragon Pill and the Liquid Condensation Pill.
“I’m sorry, I need to look around a bit more.” Shen Luo replied calmly.
Upon hearing these words, the red-haired ghost woman’s smile froze and her expression cooled.
A few white-robed attendants nearby noticed the commotion and looked over, which made the red-haired ghost woman’s expression even more unpleasant.
“That’s fine, you can come over whenever you’re ready. But I’m afraid you won’t find the elixir you need elsewhere in the Ghost Market.” The red-haired ghost woman quickly regained her composure, speaking indifferently. There was a sarcastic tone in her voice.
