The two people in that cave seemed a bit off.
Su Bai's face was full of disgust, especially the last sentence from that reedy voice, which sent a shiver down her spine.
Two old perverts!
I'll blast you apart!
You'd best not have any ill intentions for today's transaction, or I'll pound you into meat paste, one scattered to the sea, one thrown into the deep mountains!
Fight!
Even before meeting them, Su Bai had completely lost any good impression of these two.
Yan Lei, who was by Su Bai's side, looked at Su Bai's suddenly changing expression, feeling a bit strange.
Could it be that Senior doesn't favor this transaction? Why is her expression so grave?
Su Bai couldn't possibly say directly that she accidentally saw something dirty.
"Senior, we're almost there. Should I wait here?"
Yan Lei reminded Su Bai.
Su Bai snapped back to reality and realized they had already arrived at the transaction location.
After an almost imperceptible frown, Su Bai nodded.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, you may wait here for a moment. I will go perform the transaction alone."
With that, Su Bai continued to walk forward.
In these deep mountains and dense forests, if one wasn't a Cultivator, very few ordinary people would truly come here.
Everywhere were steep peaks, and the mountains full of trees offered very little space to step.
Without flying, one simply couldn't reach such a place.
Even Mortal herb gatherers rarely came here.
Only Cultivators would control Magical Artifacts to fly and come to such deep mountains and old forests to gather Spirit Medicine.
Seeing a pavilion appear out of nowhere on a mountain peak in this desolate wilderness, Su Bai knew this was the agreed-upon location.
Her figure flickered, and the next moment, she was already inside the pavilion.
After Su Bai appeared in the pavilion, two more figures followed closely and appeared as well.
Su Bai looked at the two Cultivators in front of her, who appeared middle-aged with half-black, half-white hair, and cupped her hands, saying:
"Greetings, two Fellow Daoists. My name is Su Bai. I am the shopkeeper of Danfu Pavilion in Xingluo City, and I am the one who agreed to the transaction with you."
After Su Bai finished introducing herself, the reedy voice was the first to speak in her ear.
"Hehehe, well said. This Daoist is White Cloud Daoist."
"This Old Man is Heitu Old Man, cough cough!"
After mutual introductions, it was time for the transaction.
Su Bai took out a Medicinal Pill box and directly opened it.
As soon as the Medicinal Pill box was opened, a rich herbal fragrance wafted out.
White Cloud Daoist and Heitu Old Man felt their bodies relax considerably just by smelling it.
They couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "Good Medicine!"
Seeing that both of them had seen the Spirit Medicine, Su Bai closed the Medicinal Pill box again, and the herbal fragrance instantly dissipated considerably.
Su Bai then said lightly:
"Two Fellow Daoists, according to what you told Fellow Daoist Yan, you need Spirit Medicine and healing Medicinal Pills. I have already shown you the Spirit Medicine, and as for the healing Medicinal Pills, I will only give them after I see the Third-Rank Pharmacist Legacy."
The two people Yan Lei contacted needed high-quality healing Medicinal Pills and some Materials for repairing Magic Treasures.
They had a Third-Rank Pharmacist Legacy and a partial Third-Rank Talisman Master Legacy.
Although it was somewhat different from the Alchemist Legacy and Artifact Refiner Legacy Su Bai needed, Su Bai had already obtained the Third-Rank Artifact Refiner Legacy through a transaction with Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
And the Pharmacist Legacy and Alchemist Legacy shared some commonalities, only one focused more on Alchemy, while the other specialized in various poisons.
These two were probably seriously injured in the Outer Sea Secret Realm. After all, one of them, despite being a Pharmacist, still hadn't fully recovered from his injuries.
Although Pharmacists were more skilled in various poison attacks, they were also proficient in healing.
Hearing Su Bai's words, White Cloud Daoist glanced at Heitu Old Man.
He took out a Jade Slip from his Storage Pouch, a spiritual light glowed on his finger, and he tapped it on the Jade Slip.
Lines of text flew out from the Jade Slip, allowing Su Bai to see them.
However, after only a moment, all the text disappeared.
"That was a portion of the Pharmacist Legacy just now. Fairy Su can savor it for a moment. As an Alchemist, you should be able to tell if there's any falsehood within."
After White Cloud Daoist finished speaking, he held the Jade Slip and stood aside, waiting.
Su Bai began to recall the text she had just seen.
It recorded the medicinal properties and attributes of some Spirit Medicine, as well as how to use various Spirit Medicine for neutralization and combination.
The content was accurate; it indeed seemed to be a Third-Rank Pharmacist Legacy.
"It is indeed correct."
After the Pharmacist Legacy was confirmed, Su Bai then took out two bottles of Medicinal Pills.
She opened the Jade bottles.
Smelling the scent wafting from the bottles, White Cloud Daoist and Heitu Old Man felt their injured and uncomfortable chests ease considerably.
They both showed expressions of intoxication.
They even instinctively held each other's hands.
"..."
Seeing this, Su Bai silently re-corked the Jade bottles.
"Two Fellow Daoists, this is Dragon Blood Treasure Pill. I obtained it by chance and refined it with the blood of a Flood Dragon containing a trace of true Dragon blood. You should be able to feel its effect on injury recovery."
White Cloud Daoist looked at the Jade bottles and Medicinal Pill box in Su Bai's hand, his eyes flickering slightly.
However, Heitu Old Man tightened his grip on his hand.
This prevented White Cloud Daoist from speaking.
Heitu Old Man spoke first:
"Fellow Daoist Su's items are truly excellent. I ask you to take a look at this Talisman Master Legacy as well."
After Heitu Old Man finished speaking, he took out a piece of parchment from his Storage Pouch.
The parchment floated in mid-air and, under Heitu Old Man's control, drifted towards Su Bai.
Su Bai reached out and grasped the parchment.
She felt a clear fragrance enter her nose.
Noticing this anomaly, Su Bai calmly glanced at the two people opposite her.
She continued to look at the content on the parchment.
After just one glance, Su Bai nodded.
"It is indeed a Third-Rank Talisman Master Legacy. In that case, let's begin the transaction."
With that, Su Bai began to take out Artifact Refining Materials like Millennial Ebony and Millennium Withered Wood Blood Vine from her Storage Pouch.
Then, she handed them over to the other party along with the Medicinal Pill box and the Dragon Blood Treasure Pill.
White Cloud Daoist and Heitu Old Man also handed their respective Legacies to Su Bai.
Both parties cautiously completed this transaction.
Just as Su Bai had obtained the two Legacies and was about to leave, White Cloud Daoist suddenly called out to her, his distinctive reedy voice speaking:
"Fellow Daoist Su, wait. Actually, we two still have items we wish to trade. Why not wait a moment?"
"Oh?"
Su Bai showed an interested expression and stopped her turning movement.
Seeing that Su Bai didn't leave immediately, White Cloud Daoist gently nudged Heitu Old Man beside him with his elbow.
Heitu Old Man then spoke:
"If Fellow Daoist is willing, please wait a moment. I will go retrieve the item."
"Mm… you may."
After Su Bai nodded, Heitu Old Man gently patted the hand he was holding with White Cloud Daoist.
White Cloud Daoist reluctantly released his hand.
Only then did Heitu Old Man depart.
Su Bai watched the disappearing Heitu Old Man, then rubbed her temple with her finger. A sound transmission had already been sent to Yan Lei, who was waiting in the distance.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, return to Xingluo City immediately."
It was a very brief sentence.
In the distance, Yan Lei, who was already constantly vigilant, heard Su Bai's voice appear in his mind. Without a moment's hesitation, he immediately took out an Origin Burst Pill and consumed it, while simultaneously sticking two Trace Talismans to his legs. His figure swiftly flew towards the horizon.
By the time Yan Lei was already flying in mid-air, Su Bai's message had just finished transmitting.
And less than ten breaths after Yan Lei left, Heitu Old Man appeared at the location where Yan Lei had just been.
