The white-haired elder pondered for a moment and spoke,
You are allowed to come in, and so is your black puppy. The Planetary Elixir Pharmacy welcomes all.

As he finished, the white-haired elder nodded slightly to Qingfeng Li, removing the Supreme Realm Suppression off his own body and turning around to return to his alchemist room.
In the back of the pharmacy, there was a small room about twenty square meters in size. Inside the room, there was an elixir furnace and piles of elixirs – this was where the white-haired elder made the products.
Many of the elixirs sold in the pharmacy were made by him; others were acquired from elsewhere.
The face of that young staff member in the pharmacy was turning ghastly pale. Just moments ago, he treated Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy in a condescending manner all due to his pride derived from being a part of their elixir pharmacy, which was the biggest branch of the elixir association in the entire Crimson Fire Continent.


However, he was instantly embarrassed by the white-haired elder, who brushed over him but took Qingfeng Li very seriously. The white-haired elder had lived for a few hundred years and was an expert in telling the levels of potential in the young.
For instance, Qingfeng Li was obviously very powerful as he could effortlessly block the Supreme Realm Aura the white-haired elder exuded. Even though the white-haired elder had achieved the Supreme Realm, he was not so sure whether he could defeat Qingfeng Li if it came to that. As a result, he decided to let Qingfeng Li in without causing any further trouble.
Qingfeng Li led Black Puppy into the elixir pharmacy. He noticed that the lobby of the pharmacy was exceptionally spacious – it was more than a thousand square meters in size and the countless counters and shelves were situated on both sides.
The counters and shelves were all made of crystal. They were glimmeringly translucent, neat and elegant, providing clear views of the elixirs stored inside.
The elixirs were also of a vast variety and had to be catalogued in a great range of numbers. From left to right, in that order, there were elixirs for refining the body, spirit, essence energy, and for enhancing the soul.
Qingfeng Li had no need for elixirs that helped refine the body, as he was cultivating an immortal level body cultivation technique.
Dark Night Emperor was now in a soul state, so had no need for this type of elixirs, either. What he needed was soul elixirs that could help refine his soul and to agglomerate his soul power.
Qingfeng Li went straight to the aisle for soul elixirs and immediately noticed the Emperor’s Soul Elixir.
This was an emperor level nineth class elixir. Its ingredients consisted of the soul-draining herb, ecstasy flower, rattan soul fruit, and some other spirit herbs.
Qingfeng Li could vividly sense a jot of powerful soul power from inside of it. However, when Qingfeng Li took note of the price tag beneath the elixir, his mouth started twitching uncontrollably. The price tag stated that the cost of the Emperor’s Soul Elixir was a hundred emperor level vitality stones.


Qingfeng Li had already used up most of his vitality stones, and all he had were king level high-grade vitality stones; he had no emperor level vitality stones on him at the moment.
When he first arrived to the Crimson Fire Continent from Earth, he had actually brought some emperor level vitality stones with him. However, as his spirit energy was completely devoured then, the vitality stones had all disappeared as well.
Qingfeng Li had no choice but to look away from the Emperor’s Soul Elixir and to explore other options. Right next to it was the Soul-lifting Elixir, which was also an emperor level elixir, and it was even more expensive – a hundred and fifty emperor level vitality stones. Again, Qingfeng was startled by the cost.
In the past, his means of enhancing his own strengths and abilities were always through cultivating immortal level techniques, so he did not have much understanding of vitality stones and the pricing of elixirs. Today, he was deeply shocked by the steep price points of some of these emperor level elixirs.
Now Qingfeng Li secretly wished he had utilized the the Alchemy Arts of Saints deep within his brain to produce some emperor level elixirs to exchange for a large amount of vitality stones.
Nonetheless, he realized that the idea was not feasible as he shook his head in the next moment. The making of elixirs required a good amount of precious and valuable spirit herbs which he did not have; and the purchasing of spirit herbs would require a large amount of vitality stones, which he also did not have. It would have become an endless loop.
Qingfeng took a look at the other types of elixirs and found all of them to be extremely expensive. Almost any one of them would cost at least more than a hundred emperor level vitality stones, which were definitely not something Qingfeng Li could afford.
Needless to say, this would not pose a problem to the affluent royalty or powerful self-cultivators of the Imperial Capital – all they had was vitality stones and elixirs were all that they lacked.
At this time, the youth staff member that had conflict with them had walked over again. Seeing that Qingfeng Li was only browsing and seemed to have no intention of buying, he realized Qingfeng Li must not have enough vitality stones. Right away, his eyes were filled with disdain.
The youth mocked coolly,
I was just thinking what a big deal you must be and wondering how many vitality stones you must have on you. Acting all cool and powerful. Who knew? You have no vitality stones, yet you dream of buying elixirs.



The youth staff’s words displeased Qingfeng Li. The gleam of anger made him want to slap the youth. Yet, Qingfeng Li had to admit that the idiot was stating the truth – he did not have vitality stones on him, and therefore could not purchase any of the elixirs.

Who said Qingfeng Li could not purchase elixirs? I will pay for whichever elixir he wishes to get with my vitality stones.

A charming and crisp voice resounded by his side, Qingfeng Li turned his head and saw that Princess Red-Swallow was the owner of the voice.
Princess Red-Swallow left a deep impression in Qingfeng Li, as she was the one who led him to Phoenix Palace to meet the Third Princess. From the Third Princess, Qingfeng Li found out that Red-Swallow was also a princess.
The youth staff was startled as he instantly recognized Princess Red-Swallow. Although he was only a staff in an elixir pharmacy, he was a resident in the Imperial Capital after all.
Now that Planetary Elixir Pharmacy was doing business in the Imperial Capital, naturally, having to deal with a princess from the Imperial Capital could be intimidating.
Princess Red-Swallow paced to Qingfeng Li’s side and asked,
Which elixir do you have your eyes on? I’ll pay for you with my vitality stones.

Qingfeng Li slightly nodded his head and said,
I would like the Emperor’s Soul Elixir, but it costs a hundred emperor level vitality stones.

Qingfeng Li’s words made Princess Red-Swallow gasp. She was not expecting Qingfeng Li to have his eyes on such elixir. This type of soul elixir was even more expensive than the normal vital qi elixir – every one of them was at least ten times more expensive.
Usually, emperor level elixirs that helped enhance vital essence only cost about ten emperor level vitality stones; yet, this type cost a hundred.


Princess Red-Swallow took a look at her interspatial ring and realized that she only had a little over ninety emperor level vitality stones. A hint of awkwardness appeared on her face; as after she openly declared to help pay for Qingfeng Li’s desired elixir, she found that she did not have enough vitality stones to do so.
Qingfeng Li certainly noticed the embarrassment on Princess Red-Swallow’s face, but he didn’t mind. He did not plan to let Princess Red-Swallow pay for him in the first place, as it would make him feel like an incompetent, kept-man.
He wanted to be able to pay for the emperor level soul elixir that would help Dark Night Emperor enhance soul power with his own means and ability.
Qingfeng Li’s eyes wandered for a second, then he turned to Princess Red-Swallow and asked,
Princess, can you tell me the fastest way to earn emperor level vitality stones?
