“Then let me be so bold as to disturb you, Taoist Friend Gu,” said Yan.

Zhou Chun gave a faint smile and readily agreed.

Afterward, the bald-headed Gu Lie personally led him into the Black Mountain Marketplace, reaching the most imposing shop within the marketplace, and directly called the shop’s chief steward to accompany them in a quiet room.

In fact, Zhou Chun had visited this Qizhen Pavilion before, inquiring about the spiritual medicines needed for refining the Ancient Dust Pill, but had returned without any results.

So this time, to align with his persona, he once again listed all the materials required for refining the Ancient Dust Pill, the Purple Dust Pill, and the Jade Dew Golden Halo Pill.

Hearing him list dozens of rare spiritual medicines in one breath, the bald-headed Gu Lie also took a slight breath.

He couldn’t help but ask, “Is Taoist Friend Yan perhaps an Alchemy Master? Otherwise, why would you need to collect such a wide variety of rare spiritual medicines at once?”

“Although I am not an Alchemist, a close friend of mine is a Master Alchemist, so during my travels, I’ve been entrusted by her to help gather some rare spiritual medicines!”

Zhou Chun replied with a gentle smile.

“I see!”

Gu Lie nodded lightly, without probing further, he just turned to the chief steward of Qizhen Pavilion and asked, “Nephew Xu, see if the pavilion has the spiritual medicines that Taoist Friend Yan needs?”

The chief steward of Qizhen Pavilion, a beautiful middle-aged woman, hesitated slightly at Gu Lie’s words, and then whispered, “The shop does have a few spiritual medicines that meet Senior Yan’s needs, but they are items kept to attract attention to the shop, reserved for future auctions!”

The so-called “items kept to attract attention” means they are for display only, not for sale, to attract attention.

Zhou Chun wasn’t sure if the chief steward was lying, but he promptly said, “Rest assured, Taoist Friend Xu, I never take advantage when exchanging spiritual medicines. If you bring out the spiritual medicines I need, I will exchange them with spiritual objects of equal value!”

The middle-aged woman, hearing this, couldn’t help but look towards Gu Lie.

Gu Lie frowned slightly, then lightly nodded and said, “Since Taoist Friend Yan has said so, Nephew Xu, bring out the items and let him take a look, and hear his offer.”

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman no longer hesitated and immediately responded respectfully, “Yes, I will obey.”

She then brought over five or six thousand-year-old spiritual medicines, three of which happened to be required for refining the Ancient Dust Pill.

This kind of targeted move left Zhou Chun somewhat speechless.

Though he was displeased with the woman’s actions, he did not show it on his face, and simply offered some spiritual objects he was willing to exchange.

Subsequently, under Gu Lie’s witness, Zhou Chun exchanged for the three spiritual medicines needed for the Ancient Dust Pill. The remaining auxiliary medicines needed for the Jade Dew Golden Halo Pill, which he currently had and was overpriced by the other party, he did not insist on exchanging.

After exchanging the spiritual medicines, before Gu Lie could see him out, he proactively said, “By the way, there is one more thing I would like to ask Taoist Friend Gu. Before coming to Liang Country, I heard that the Cold Crow Sect had a major cultivation project involving Gold Thread Bamboo. Do you know if their Medicine Garden has any Gold Thread Bamboo with a three-thousand-year growth age?”

“Gold Thread Bamboo with a three-thousand-year growth age?”

Gu Lie was slightly taken aback, then looked at Zhou Chun with sudden realization and said, “I’m afraid this is Taoist Friend Yan’s real reason for coming to Liang Country!”

Zhou Chun did not deny this, but simply clasped his hands and said, “I would like Taoist Friend Gu to help with this, if it succeeds, I will surely have a token of appreciation!”

“Well…”

Gu Lie couldn’t help but show a hesitant expression, weighing the situation in his heart.

After a while, his expression suddenly shifted, and he nodded slightly at Zhou Chun, “Alright, Gu can introduce you to the Cold Crow Sect, but whether you can negotiate a deal with them is out of my hands.”
