Chapter 474: Too Poor! [7 more]

The two took off from the wilderness and headed toward the nearest Sen Gu Cheng.

A distance of over a thousand kilometers was nothing more than a moment's travel for He Er Na, who excelled at speed.

Soon, a large city appeared ahead.

Just as they approached the city, a knight‑like NPC on the city wall came forward to greet them.

"Which Upper God honors Sen Gu Cheng with your presence? What brings you here?"

This city guard commander, named Fenli Er, paid no attention to Xiao Feng and instead asked He Er Na.

In his eyes, a demigod‑level adventurer was nothing at all; only beings of Upper God rank deserved respect.

Seeing him ignore her master, He Er Na's expression darkened slightly and she replied coldly, "Just looking around—do you have a problem?"

He was extremely cold toward outsiders.

"Um, I dare not. Please, Upper God!" Fenli Er, merely a Middle God, naturally dared not offend an Upper God and quickly stepped aside.

"Master, let's go."

He Er Na ignored him, took Xiao Feng's hand, and flew into the city.

"Mas... master?"

Hearing that title, Fenli Er froze outright.

He widened his eyes at He Er Na, repeatedly confirming she was an Upper God.

Then he stared at Xiao Feng, carefully checking repeatedly that he truly was just a demigod, hiding no aura.

This strange combination made him scratch his head in utter bewilderment.

"What the heck? Does this female Upper God have some special fetish, calling a demigod her master?" Fenli Er muttered to himself.

The Shen Jie is vast and boundless; some powerhouses having peculiar tastes is understandable.

However, seeing an Upper God lower herself to serve a demigod was still the first time he'd witnessed such a thing!

Watching the two recede, Fenli Er couldn't help sighing, "Ah, being handsome is great—such a beautiful goddess actively throwing herself at him."

But there's nothing to envy about such a thing.

As everyone knows, people with peculiar tastes tend to be especially ruthless.

Once the goddess grows tired of her demigod boyfriend, she'll surely crush him to death with a casual flick!

That's absolute!

Fenli Er thought viciously.

……

In Sen Gu Cheng, Xiao Feng and He Er Na had already landed, flying low just above the ground.

Xiao Feng opened the mini‑map to check the various functional shops in the city.

According to the map, the city's shops basically had everything one could need.

Equipment stores, pharmacies, general stores and the like were numerous.

stores.

After looking around a while, he entered a relatively upscale pharmacy.

Just as he entered, the shop owner enthusiastically came forward and asked, "Honored Upper God, what do you need? Our shop sells various mid‑ to high‑grade potions, all crafted by the legendary alchemy master Kun Ni Er, quality guaranteed—fake one, pay ten!"

Naturally, this was said to He Er Na, and Xiao Feng was ignored again.

The shop owner himself was a demigod in strength, but he paid no heed to Xiao Feng, who was also a demigod.

"It's my master who needs the potions—ask him." He Er Na said coldly.

Xiao Feng being ignored made her mood very unpleasant.

But she also understood this was normal and couldn't blame anyone.

Therefore she could only emphasize that Xiao Feng was her master to highlight their master‑servant relationship.

"Um, mas... master?" the shop owner stared, bewildered.

Seeing the combination of a demigod and an Upper God, he couldn't react for a long time, feeling as if a lightning bolt had struck his forehead, leaving him dumbfounded.

This reaction made Xiao Feng feel both secretly pleased and somewhat annoyed.

What pleased him was that He Er Na, a goddess of naturally high status, voluntarily declaring him her master fiercely satisfied his vanity.

What annoyed him was whether such a thing really needed to be so surprising.

Could it be that he doesn't look like someone in charge?

"Let's first see what medicines you have here." He said offhandedly, trying to appear like a big shot.

Hearing that, the owner hurriedly replied, "Sure, sure, this way please."

Under a strange expression, he led Xiao Feng to the counter.

The counter held many potion samples whose attributes could be inspected directly.

【Great Recovery Pill】: Instantly restores 50% + 3000 HP, cooldown 60 seconds (usable only below level 300).

Price: 10 Divine Power Crystals per set.

【Great Spirit Returning Pill】: Instantly restores 50% + 1500 MP, cooldown 60 seconds (usable only below level 300).

Price: 15 Divine Power Crystals per set.

High‑grade potions from Zhu Shen Da Lu are also available here, though the price has changed from gold coins to Divine Power Crystals.

In Shen Jie, gold coins do not circulate; everything is Divine Power Crystals.

Perhaps more players will bring some later, but at least the system store definitely does not accept gold coins.

Xiao Feng continued looking at what followed.

【Divine Healing Pill】: Instantly restores 10% HP, unusable when HP is above 80%, cooldown 60 seconds.

Price: 1200 Divine Power Crystals per set.

【Origin Spirit Pill】: instantly restores 10% of divine essence power; cannot be used when divine essence power is above 80%; cooldown 60 seconds.

Price: 1800 Divine Power Crystals per set.

This price made Xiao Feng frown.

He realized he was too poor!

He now has only over 5200 Divine Power Crystals, having killed 20 Upper Gods in a row, plus he originally already possessed nearly 1000, which together made this total.

For an average player who just ascended, they probably couldn't even produce one.

Moreover, these level-300 usable medicines have a noticeably weaker recovery effect compared to those below level 300, lacking the effect of instantly refilling a large health bar.

They restore little yet are sold at a high price—this feels like a rip-off!

It seems that after normal players become gods, healing mainly relies on the healer profession; they simply can't afford medicines.

Xiao Feng's own 【Holy Origin Pill】 exchanged from the Heavenly Tower is actually quite good—its effect equals that of three 【Divine Healing Pills】.

However, the 【Holy Origin Pill】 does not instantly restore health; instead, it needs to be recovered over 15 seconds, totaling only 30% health.

"I need to figure out how to make money..."

Looking at the prices of the potions, Xiao Feng felt somewhat helpless.

His gold coins are now completely useless; wealth in the Divine Realm needs to be accumulated anew.

Moreover, here he is not the city lord; to make money, he must rely on his own abilities.

He Er Na's Wind Spirit Island might have some wealth, but that is her faction's funds, which certainly have daily expenses, so it cannot be simply exploited cleanly.

Therefore, making money still needs careful consideration after things stabilize!

In fact, Xiao Feng has already thought of a way to make money.

With so many divine artifacts on him, selling them off would constitute a fortune.

But he doesn't know how much money the artifacts can fetch, so he needs to familiarize himself first.

He took He Er Na and turned to leave.

Seeing him leave without a word, the shop owner hurriedly shouted, "Hey, sir, don't go! Are you dissatisfied with the medicinal pills? Or do you think they're too expensive? It's fine if they're pricey—just get a membership card and you'll get a discount!"

Saying that, he ran over to block the path, doing his best to push the sale.

Xiao Feng certainly couldn't say he had no money.

He feigned disappointment and said, "The divine stones aren't the problem; mainly, your medicines' effects are too poor."

"Uh..." the shop owner blinked, his expression sinking, somewhat displeased, and said, "Sir, your comment is too harsh! Although our shop isn't a time-honored brand, we do have a renowned expert in charge! You say these medicines are no good—what would be acceptable then?"
