Chapter 513: Qian Clan Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion

After half a moment, Long Xuan finished carving the final array pattern. Just as he stood up, this cross-domain teleportation array lit up with a blinding radiance.

"Did it finally succeed?" Long Xuan gazed at the glowing teleportation array, a look of pleasant surprise appearing on his face.

Turning his head, he saw his five clones holding all the Gu Kings at bay outside, with no casualties sustained. Long Xuan let out a long sigh of relief.

"Everyone fall back. Enter the teleportation array now; I will cover the rear."

Following Long Xuan's loud shout, all the clones immediately retreated, running toward the teleportation array at top speed.

At the same time, a deafening dragon roar echoed through the teleportation hall.

Amidst the shocked gazes of everyone present, Long Xuan suddenly struck out with a palm, releasing twenty golden long dragons that let out bursts of dragon roars as they whistled toward the narrow passageway.

The passageway was far too narrow. Facing the twenty golden divine dragons whistling toward them, there was simply no room to dodge. At this moment, the Gu Kings within the passage all changed color.

"Not good!"

The crowd was huddled together and could not escape in time. All the Gu Kings could only grit their teeth and use their strongest defensive measures to withstand the impact of the twenty golden divine dragons.

"Roar!"

The deafening dragon roar resounded through the sky. Under the impact of the golden divine dragons, spirit shields and armor shattered. Dozens of Gu Kings were sent flying backward in unison, crashing heavily far outside the door.

"Pfft!"

Many Gu Kings scrambled up from the ground in a sorry state, vomiting blood, their eyes filled with terror.

Under this move, the group of Gu Kings all suffered varying degrees of injury. Those not skilled in defense had already lost their breath by now.

The terrifying lethality of this move shocked everyone.

Jin Zeng's face was ashen. As a City Lord at the late stage of Gu King, being injured by a junior at the early stage of Gu King was simply a supreme humiliation.

If dozens of Gu Kings in the city joined forces and still couldn't take this person down, then the shame today would be immense.

Seeing that three clones had already rushed into the teleportation array and the main body was about to escape, Jin Zeng was furious. He rushed up at top speed, determined to stop the main body at all costs.

However, just as he rushed through the door, a group of strange insects suddenly crawled out from the hard ground beneath his feet, swarming onto his legs.

His late-stage Gu King defense was like paper under the sharp mouths of these insects; it broke at the slightest touch, and they easily bit through his skin and burrowed into his legs.

The extreme, excruciating pain made him let out a roar, and sweat instantly seeped from his forehead.

"How is this possible? How could this group of insects bite through the defense of a late-stage Gu King? What kind of insects are these, and how many more terrifying trump cards does he have?"

Jin Zeng was shocked. There was no time for him to think. To prevent the insects from burrowing into his upper body, he hardened his heart, swung his blade to cut off his legs, and flew outward rapidly. Where was the courage left to continue intercepting Long Xuan?

After his legs fell to the ground, they were instantly devoured clean by the Gold-Eating Bugs, not even bones remaining. He believed that if he had reacted a moment slower, his entire person would have vanished from this world into thin air.

Long Xuan secretly muttered "what a pity." Seeing that all the clones had passed through the teleportation array, he retracted all the Gold-Eating Bugs buried underground, rushed into the teleportation array, and vanished.

The scene was silent. All the Gu Kings had gloomy expressions, but their eyes held a hint of fear; they no longer dared to continue the pursuit.

Outside the city at this time, the group of Gu Cultivators on the side of the Black Tortoise Empire all wore expressions of extreme gravity.

After the Fat Gu Cultivator sensed the situation in the city, his expression changed repeatedly. Twitching the corners of his mouth, he said, "Terrifying indeed. Dozens of Gu Kings fighting one, yet some died and some were injured, and in the end, they let the person escape unscathed."

"There are seven corpses of Gu Kings in the city, and the remaining Gu Kings have all sustained varying degrees of injury. That strongest City Lord has even lost his legs. The upcoming great battle is no longer a concern."

"This child actually beat the Gu King power in the city to a half-crippled state single-handedly. It's truly heaven-defying." The Fat Gu Cultivator's eyes flickered, and he clicked his tongue in wonder.

"Heaven truly helps me. Now seven Gu Kings in the city have fallen, and the rest are all injured. Their high-end power is no longer a match for our side. The advantage in the upcoming siege battle is ours."

"If we still can't win this battle, I might as well find a piece of tofu and crash into it."

"Notify everyone down the line: tomorrow, when the entire army arrives, we will immediately launch the siege. This battle is the decisive one; we must not give that group of Gu Kings a chance to heal."

The Crown Prince clenched his fists excitedly, full of confidence for the upcoming great battle.

At this time, after Long Xuan entered the teleportation array, he immediately felt a powerful crushing sensation on his physical body, as if it were about to be crushed to pieces.

The further the distance of the teleportation, the greater the pressure on the physical body.

This was a cross-domain teleportation array; how could the pressure on the physical body be small for such a long-distance teleportation?

It was only because Long Xuan's physical body was too terrifying that he could forcibly complete a cross-domain teleportation without using a teleportation token.

If it were any other Gu King, even a peak Gu King, he believed that without a teleportation token, they would have had their physical body crushed to death by space during such a long-distance teleportation.

Long Xuan endured the extreme pain in his body, gritting his teeth. Just as he was about to reach his limit, a ray of light finally appeared before his eyes. The next moment, his vision blurred, and he appeared in another strange environment.

This was also a teleportation hall, with a layout similar to the previous one, and there were also many Gu Cultivators guarding it here.

However, by the time he arrived, all the Gu Cultivators here had already been dealt with by his five clones, including an early-stage Gu King who had also died miserably under the joint efforts of the five clones.

Just after landing, Long Xuan had no time to check the surrounding situation. With a casual strike of his hand, he smashed the teleportation array behind him to pieces.

He did this because he was afraid that the Gu Kings in Black Tortoise City would follow the teleportation array over and continue to hunt him down.

By smashing the teleportation array here in time, even if that group of Gu Kings had heaven-reaching abilities, they wouldn't be able to appear here out of thin air to continue hunting him.

"Go!"

After Long Xuan burned all the corpses to ashes with a fire, he immediately ran toward the outside of the teleportation hall, with the remaining clones following closely behind.

This teleportation hall was also built in a city, and it was also a large city. However, the hall's protective array seemed to have sound-insulating effects, so the brief battle here did not alert anyone in the city.

Long Xuan walked out the door and looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the air outside. Sensing the concentration of spiritual energy in the air, his eyes couldn't help but brighten. He secretly sighed, "As expected of the center of the world, the concentration of spiritual energy here is indeed high enough." "Cultivating here, progress will be rapid, and the speed of cultivation is far faster than in other regions. The number of strong individuals here naturally cannot be compared to other regions."

Long Xuan looked around, and after using his soul power to get a rough sense of the city, he walked toward the center of the city.

He did not choose to leave the city immediately; he planned to stroll around the city first to see how the resources at the center of the world differed from those in Central Earth. Perhaps he could discover a great opportunity in this city.

On the street, people were coming and going, and the overall realm of the Gu Cultivators was clearly more than a notch higher than in Central Earth.

Shops lined both sides of the street, and the resources sold were clearly of much higher value than those in Central Earth.

Long Xuan was dazzled, but in the end, he chose not to waste time in these small shops and headed straight for the shop with the largest footprint on the street.

Before long, he stopped in front of a door with "Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion" written on the plaque.

Just by the name, one could tell that this shop clearly sold spirit medicine, and there were also many customers in the shop at this time.

Most of the groups that bought spirit medicine were people who practiced alchemy, so there were many Alchemists in this shop.

Long Xuan took one look and saw that customers wearing the attire of Third Grade Alchemists were everywhere. He couldn't help but sigh at the prosperity of the Central Region.

When he was in the Far West Region, the only Third Grade Alchemist was Long Lao, and that was only after he helped him become a Third Grade Alchemist. At the center of this world, Third Grade Alchemists could actually appear in clusters.

And this was just one city. Looking at all the cities in the Central Region, how many Third Grade Alchemists would there be in total? Long Xuan couldn't help but click his tongue.

After he was stunned for a moment, he stepped into the shop. As soon as he entered, various medicinal fragrances hit his nose.

He sniffed his nose, judged the spirit medicine from which the medicinal fragrance he smelled originated, and finally focused his gaze on the dazzling array of spirit medicine in the counter.

Just by scanning it, he saw many rare spirit medicines that he had not yet collected to this day. Many spirit medicines were already extinct in the maps he had traveled, but in this place with richer spiritual energy, they had the possibility of growing.

Moreover, many of these spirit medicines were alive and could be transplanted into the Heaven-Devouring World Toad, and then mass-bred with the help of Medicine Gu.

Not to mention what was in this city, just obtaining these spirit medicines made his trip worthwhile.

Long Xuan's mood was faintly excited. Just as he was about to walk over, a good-looking shop assistant walked over with a smile. Seeing that he was at the Gu King realm, she said respectfully:

"I don't know what spirit medicine the Senior needs. The Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion is the largest spirit medicine shop of the Qian Clan Merchant Association. It is not that this junior is boasting, but eighty percent of the spirit medicine in this world can be found here."

"The spirit medicine placed on the counter is not all of it. If the Senior wants any spirit medicine, you still need to ask in person."

Hearing this, Long Xuan was slightly surprised. He didn't expect to have entered another Qian Clan shop. He couldn't escape this Qian Clan Merchant Association in this life; he could run into it everywhere.

He really didn't know how big this Qian Clan Merchant Association was to have opened shops all over the world.

"What is the town-securing treasure of your pavilion?" Long Xuan asked directly without hesitation.

Since he was here, of course, he had to see the most expensive spirit medicine here. As long as the spirit medicine could move him, he didn't mind spending a huge amount of money to take it down.

Hearing the distinguished guest ask about the town-securing treasure, the female shop assistant narrowed her eyes, and the smile on her face became even brighter. Anyone who could ask this question must have a considerable family fortune; this was a big deal.

The female shop assistant said with a smile: "If you talk about the town-securing treasure of my Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion, it must be the Longevity Spring Tea."

"Longevity Spring Tea is a Heaven-Grade spirit medicine. Brewing its leaves into tea has the heaven-defying effect of prolonging life and is highly sought after."

"It is precisely because there are too many people coming to trade that the quantity of Longevity Spring Tea is extremely limited, and there is not much left at present."

Hearing that the town-securing treasure of the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion was actually a Heaven-Grade tea tree, Long Xuan's heart jumped, and a flash of excitement crossed his eyes.

He secretly sighed, fortunately he didn't leave. Strolling around this city was the right choice. As expected of a city in the Central Region, resources were everywhere here, and he could find his own great opportunity.

This Longevity Spring Tea was a Heaven-Grade tea tree. Once he used his tea-frying technique to brew it, his Tea Insect's advancement would be steady.

The opportunity for the Tea Insect's advancement had arrived. He had to get his hands on this Longevity Spring Tea at all costs.

"Then I don't know what the price of your pavilion's Longevity Spring Tea is?" Although he was already extremely excited in his heart, Long Xuan still pretended to be extremely calm and asked about the price.

The female shop assistant covered her mouth and chuckled: "Senior is joking. This is a Heaven-Grade spirit medicine. No one is willing to exchange this level of treasure for spirit stones."

"Longevity Spring Tea is a non-sale item in our shop."

"It can be considered Senior's good luck. Today, the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion is holding a Pill Exchange Conference on the third floor, inviting all nearby Alchemists to attend. Now the Pill Exchange Conference has just begun, which is also the reason why there are so many Alchemists here."

"There are many rare spirit medicines beyond the Fourth Grade at the Pill Exchange Conference, including many Earth-Grade spirit medicines and Heaven-Grade spirit medicines, including a large pack of Longevity Spring Tea."

"The rules of the Pill Exchange Conference are very simple, that is, to exhibit the rare spirit medicines collected by the Qian Clan Merchant Association in the past fifty years."

"If someone participating in the Pill Exchange Conference takes a fancy to a certain spirit medicine, they can only refine a pill of equal value to exchange for it, so this conference is also named the Pill Exchange Conference."

"The Qian Clan Merchant Association's Pill Exchange Conference is held once every fifty years. There are countless rare spirit medicines at the conference, which have a fatal attraction to every Alchemist, and each time it attracts a massive number of Fourth Grade Alchemists."

"I don't know if Senior is a Fourth Grade Alchemist. Fourth Grade Alchemists can unconditionally go to the third floor to participate in the Pill Exchange Conference."

"If you are not a Fourth Grade Alchemist, you can also prove your family fortune by taking out high-value pills. The third floor is not a place where anyone can go up. I hope Senior understands."

The female shop assistant looked Long Xuan up and down carefully, as if she wanted to see if he was really a Fourth Grade Alchemist.

"This is my Fourth Grade Alchemist rank medal. Can I go in now?"

Long Xuan took out the fake Fourth Grade Alchemist medal without hesitation and looked at the female shop assistant with a smile.

The female shop assistant clearly would not have thought that someone would dare to fake a Fourth Grade Alchemist rank medal. She only glanced at the rank medal and said with a smile: "So Senior is actually a distinguished Fourth Grade Alchemist. It was this junior who was blind."

"All Fourth Grade Alchemists can unconditionally go to the third floor regardless of their background."

"Senior, please! This junior will lead the way for you."

The female shop assistant looked at him with even more respect and turned to walk toward the stairs.

Long Xuan smiled, hung the Fourth Grade Alchemist rank medal on his body, stepped to follow, and walked toward the third floor of the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion... (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 514 =====
