When he arrived at Green Rock Peak, it was already the dead of night. By this time, most disciples had gone to bed, with only a few shops near the dining hall still lit. In order to have clean clothes to wear the next day, he went straight to one of the shops.

When Wang Xiaoqiang arrived at a shop that sold both clothes and pills and took out 15 Demon Crystals from the Sumeru Ring to place them on the counter, the owner of the Pill Shop was petrified.

The shop owner, over sixty years old and surnamed Feng, was a relative of the Sect Leader Hann Beifeng who oversaw the area of the Outer Sect disciples. Having been in business here for over thirty years, he had seen all sorts of strange things and had long since cultivated an expression as still as an ancient well. But when he suddenly saw an Outer Sect disciple of the Divinity Transformation Realm whip out so many Demon Crystals all at once, his eyes bulged wider than the Demon Crystals themselves!

A whole 15 Demon Crystals!

What was the concept of 15 Demon Crystals? An Outer Sect disciple wouldn't necessarily be able to acquire 15 Beast Cores in two years' time, because the Trial Arena was too perilous, and one incautious move could cost a life.

Boss Feng raised his head and stared at Wang Xiaoqiang as if he'd seen a ghost, then extended a finger, tremblingly pointing at the pile of Demon Crystals, and asked with disbelief, "Thi-this, is this Demon Crystal?"

"Could it possibly have another name?" retorted Wang Xiaoqiang.

"So many Demon Crystals, how, how did you get them?" asked Feng, who was usually articulate, stuttering now, very cautiously.

"Don't worry, Boss, I, Wang Xiaoqiang, may be new to the sect, but I don't steal or rob..."

Boss Feng's Divine Sense scanned and saw that Wang Xiaoqiang was merely at a Divinity Transformation Cultivation Base, an almost bottom-rung existence among the Outer Sect male disciples. He thought to himself that with such a cultivation base, it would be impossible to rob, even if he wanted to! Aloud he said, "Mhm, I believe in your character, but, but..." Bending down, Feng picked up a Demon Crystal, weighing it in his hand, and spoke with much experience, "These aren't freshly made. This one is at least a week old."

"That's right, some of these Demon Crystals are new and some are old. But who could obtain so many Demon Crystals in one day?" Wang Xiaoqiang, seeing Feng's persistent questioning, showed a hint of impatience and said, "Hey, are you going to take them or not? If not, I'll take them to another shop."

So many Demon Crystals were a big deal indeed. How could Boss Feng not want them? He immediately slapped his thigh and said, "Of course I want them! How many are there?"

"15 pieces, you can count them."

"Done." In truth, it was easy to see that there were 15 Demon Crystals, but the shrewd Boss Feng intentionally decided to count slowly and carefully. He first took out a folding chair for Wang Xiaoqiang, personally setting it up for him, and casually handed over a price list for pills, presenting it with both hands to Wang Xiaoqiang, "Here, take a look at the pills in our shop!"

"I'm here to buy clothes," said Wang Xiaoqiang.

"No problem, just have a look. I'm not forcing you to buy!" replied Boss Feng, and then he began to meticulously count the Demon Crystals, while Wang Xiaoqiang started to peruse the pill price list.

Although Wang Xiaoqiang didn't need pills, he still took the pill price list and examined it carefully.

The list of pills was comprehensive, covering everything a cultivator from the early stages of Qi Refinement to the peak of the Void Transformation Realm would need, systematically arranged.

Wang Xiaoqiang's gaze swept over them casually…

Basic Qi Refining Pill, 1 Demon Crystal/30

Advanced Qi Refining Pill, 1 Demon Crystal/10

Blood Ferret Foundation-Building Pill, 1 Demon Crystal/5

Heavenly Cat Foundation Establishing Pill, 1 Demon Crystal/3

Divine Leopard Transformation Pill, 1 Demon Crystal/1

Ancestral Python Transformation Pill, 3 Demon Crystals/1

…

The price of these pills was outrageously high, but for Wang Xiaoqiang, they did not feel expensive at all.

Firstly, he didn't need these pills; he could directly transform the demonic power in the Demon Crystals into Spiritual Power, which was not only convenient but also spared him from being fleeced by these merchants. Secondly, he now had plenty of Demon Crystals. And thirdly, obtaining Demon Crystals was not difficult for him.

It turned out that the experience of shopping as a poor person versus a wealthy person was quite different indeed.

However, after studying the price list of the pills, Wang Xiaoqiang came to understand the principle of value for money. Take for example the "Divine Leopard Transformation Pill" and the "Ancestral Python Transformation Pill." The pill crafted from a Six-Level Demon Ancestral Python naturally had an effect twice as strong as the one from a Fourth-Level Demon Barbarian Divine Leopard. Although expensive, the cost wasn't unreasonable.

Pills, naturally, needed to be the best.

He shifted his gaze downward, looking at the "Pills for the Void Transformation Realm" —

Basic Void Transformation Pill 1 Demon Crystal/20

Advanced Void Transformation Pill 1 Demon Crystal/5

Snow Wolf Void Transformation Pill 1 Demon Crystal/1

Cloud Tiger Void Transformation Pill 3 Demon Crystals/1

Magical Bear Void Transformation Pill 5 Demon Crystals/1

...

After looking through the list, Wang Xiaoqiang tossed the price list back to the shopkeeper. Boss Feng had already finished counting the Demon Crystals and looked up in surprise, "Young man, are you really not interested in the pills?"

Wang Xiaoqiang stood up and said, "Really not interested, as I said before, I came here to choose clothes. Do you have any good clothes to sell me ..."

Boss Feng pondered this for a moment and then replied, "Speaking of clothes, I do have a set of Treasure Clothes here, priced at 15 Demon Crystals."

"What kind of clothes are that expensive?" Wang Xiaoqiang, being a businessman on Earth, could immediately tell that the boss was trying to take advantage of him.

"Spirit Cocoon Treasure Robe!" Boss Feng said in a mysteriously low voice but filled with excitement.

Wang Xiaoqiang could feel his emotion and said, "Bring it out for me to see."

Boss Feng nodded, then walked into a small room inside. After a while, he emerged, holding a square little box in his hands.

He placed the box on the counter, then pinched a spell and directed it at the box. Instantly, there was a click from the box as it opened.

As soon as the lid opened, a brilliant light flashed, dazzling the eyes.

Then one could see Boss Feng reach into the box with a mysterious smile on his face and lift out a shiny set of clothes. It looked like a Pearl Robe, but unlike the latter, it was not adorned with pearls but with cocoons that looked like silkworm cocoons, shining white and bright, absolutely stunning.

"Have a look, this is the Spirit Cocoon Treasure Robe, made from strings of Spirit Cocoons ... You know about Spirit Cocoons, right? These things are undying. You could kill them, and in the blink of an eye, they'd resurrect ..."

Wang Xiaoqiang felt his scalp tingle at these words and pointed at the cocoon on the garment, asking, "Boss, are you saying that these cocoons are alive?!"

"Nonsense, I just told you, Spirit Cocoons are undying. Even if they are killed, they'd come back to life in an instant ..." Boss Feng said with an air of pride.

"Then, then having so many living Spirit Cocoons on you, that must be so uncomfortable ..." Goosebumps rose on Wang Xiaoqiang's body.

"You're being naive," Boss Feng gave Wang Xiaoqiang a disdainful look. "These Spirit Cocoons don't move normally, just like silkworm cocoons, they sleep soundly all day long. They only move when they're harmed, unleashing a defensive power, otherwise they only twitch when they get killed and come back to life ..."

"Still, wearing that must feel kind of stifling ..." Wang Xiaoqiang furrowed his brow.

"Didn't you feel 'stifled' the first time you were in bed with a woman?" Boss Feng shot another disdainful glance at Wang Xiaoqiang. "You get used to it eventually." (To be continued.
