Chapter 2030: Chapter 2030: Purchasing Pill Medicine!

Perhaps because they killed a Withered Water Wood Clan member of the Black Water Realm, Zhou Yu’s group found their return journey unexpectedly smooth.

The trip was uneventful, and half a month later, everyone returned to Fengyuan City.

Upon arriving in Fengyuan City, Ma Kun and the others immediately submitted the corpse of the Withered Water Wood Clan member.

This action caused quite a stir within the City Defense Team, and soon, everyone in Team 189 knew about it.

There was talk everywhere about Team 189 encountering an injured member of the Withered Water Wood Clan and killing it after a deadly struggle.

Many were envious, saying Team 189 had incredible luck.

Of course, all of this had been crafted by Ma Kun and the others during their journey back.

The nine of them brainstormed together, and the story was seamless.

The City Defense Headquarters did not care how Zhou Yu and his team killed the Withered Water Wood Clan member; upon seeing the corpse, they immediately issued a hefty reward.

With this generous reward, all members of Team 189 need not worry about cultivation resources for the next ten years.

After receiving the rewards, everyone planned to go back and rest.

Having completed this mission, Team 189’s next task would be a year later.

Zhou Yu wasn’t as interested in the cultivation resources; what he valued most was the Purification Pill.

After receiving the Purification Pill, Zhou Yu took it directly and then prepared to leave.

At that moment, Xu Ling suddenly approached Zhou Yu.

Watching Xu Ling, Zhou Yu was taken aback.

This aloof beauty had been the least talkative member of the group; what was happening now?

"Mr. Xu, what’s the matter?"

Xu Ling gazed deeply at Zhou Yu and said;

"Captain Zhou, I must thank you for saving my life this time."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu suddenly remembered.

Xu Ling had been the first attacked by the Withered Water Wood Clan.

And the first person Zhou Yu saved was indeed Xu Ling.

Zhou Yu waved his hand.

"As the captain, protecting team members is normal; Mr. Xu, don’t take it to heart."

Xu Ling took a deep breath and said:

"Captain Zhou, I don’t have any treasures to offer."

"I only have this, hoping it might be useful to you."

As she spoke, Xu Ling took out a jade token from her storage ring.

"Hmm?"

"What is this?"

Zhou Yu looked at Xu Ling in confusion.

Xu Ling explained:

"This is an invitation to a secret underground auction."

"This auction is meant for those above the Divinity Transformation Realm; I initially planned to go see the commotion myself. Now, I want to give it to you."

"Perhaps you’ll find something you need at the auction."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu’s heart stirred.

He had read about many things regarding the Heavenly Origin World auction in ancient texts.

Many renowned experts, including Haoyuan Heavenly Venerate, one of the Five Great Venerables, once obtained valuable treasures at the auction during their youth, leading to rapid cultivation progress.

Coupled with embellishments by later generations, the auction became legendary, sparking Zhou Yu’s interest.

Unfortunately, he had never had the opportunity to truly witness it.

At this moment, seeing the token in Xu Ling’s hand, he felt moved.

Zhou Yu didn’t hesitate and accepted the token with a smile:

"Then I won’t refuse your kindness."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu."

Seeing Zhou Yu accept the token, Xu Ling suddenly smiled and then turned to leave.

Seeing the aloof Xu Ling smile, Zhou Yu was momentarily dazed.

In his daze, he seemed to see his fiancée, Lin Luoluo.

Their temperaments were indeed somewhat similar.

This scene was witnessed by Ma Kun and the others.

Ma Kun and the others wore knowing smiles.

"Xu Ling, the junior sister, has an ethereal temperament and stunning looks. The young captain has high cultivation skills; they truly seem suited for each other."

"Haha, I think so too."

"Look, Xu Ling, the junior sister, is actually blushing."

"This is so rare."

Ma Kun and the others gathered together, laughing and joking.

Xu Ling then glared at them, lowered her head, and quickly left.

Indeed, her face showed an uncommon blush.

At that moment, Zhou Yu collected himself, looked helplessly at everyone, waved, and left.

After leaving the defense hall, Zhou Yu did not return to Little Qingshan but went straight into the city.

Soon, he entered a large Pill Medicine shop in the city.

The shop was bustling, with many people coming and going.

As Zhou Yu stepped into the shop, a shop assistant immediately jogged over.

"Is this the captain of the City Defense Team?"

"It’s an honor for our humble shop to have you, sir."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu was surprised; he hadn’t expected the shop assistant to be so perceptive, recognizing him immediately.

Zhou Yu didn’t deny it and said calmly:

"Do you have any pills that can enhance Divinity Transformation Realm cultivation?"

Upon hearing this, the shop assistant’s eyes brightened.

Customers purchasing Divinity Transformation Realm pills are undoubtedly significant clients.

He immediately said:

"Yes."

"Sir, please wait a moment."

After speaking, he hurriedly left, and shortly after, a plump middle-aged man approached quickly.

This person had a fawning smile.

"Sir, I’m the owner of this shop. Please follow me to the second floor."

"It’s quieter there."

"I’ve already someone fetching the pills you want."

Zhou Yu nodded and followed him to the second floor.

The second floor was indeed much quieter.

The shop owner courteously invited Zhou Yu into an elegant private room.

Then, someone served tea.

Before long, an attendant brought in two trays and placed them on the table.

The shop owner smiled and said:

"Sir, we have two kinds of pills that can enhance Divinity Transformation Realm cultivation. Please take a look."

Zhou Yu picked up a spiritual medicine from one of the trays and examined it.

Then, he checked the spiritual medicine on the other tray.

After the examination, Zhou Yu already had an idea.

These two spiritual medicines he had read about in ancient texts are the most common pills for enhancing Heavenly Yuan Realm and Divinity Transformation Realm cultivation.

The first is called Spirit God Pill.

The second is called Clearing God Pill.

Moreover, these two bottles of pills are of fairly high quality, certainly not bad.

The shop owner carefully observed Zhou Yu’s expression; seeing the satisfied look, he immediately smiled:

"Do these two pills suit your taste, sir?"

Zhou Yu nodded.

"Not bad."

Seeing this, the shop owner promptly smiled and asked:

"How many would you like, sir? I’ll have them prepared right away."

At this moment, Zhou Yu suddenly gestured.

"There’s no rush."

"I want to buy something else."

The shop owner quickly asked:

"Sir, please tell me what you need."

Zhou Yu said calmly:

"Do you have the elixir recipes for these two pills?"

Upon hearing this, the shop owner’s expression froze and then shook his head with a bitter smile:

"Sir, you’re joking."

"This is just a branch; we only sell, not make them, so there wouldn’t be any elixir recipes here."

"Moreover, the recipes for these mainstream pills are controlled by higher-ups and strictly prohibited from being sold. If discovered, it would cause big trouble."
