That afternoon, right on the vacant two-acre commercial lot directly across the marble avenue from the Myriad Pill Sect’s gilded Grand Medicine Hall—a lot that Merchant Boss Qian Duoduo. Jade Lotus Saintess Mu Wan had purchased in cash ten minutes after arriving in Myriad Pill City—the [Lv.3 Flying Courtyard Carriage] lowered its landing gear and opened its rear alchemy workshop.
Across the street on the balcony of the Myriad Pill Grand Medicine Hall, Chief Alchemist Huo , at Rank 5 High, stood surrounded by thirty sneering sect alchemists. Watching through spyglasses as dozens of Jade Lotus Clan cargo ships unloaded thousands of crates of fresh. Ruby-red Rank 4 Blood-Jade Strawberries, Golden-Sun Lemons, Purple-Marrow Grapes, and Hundred-Year Bone-Gelatin into Gu Changsheng’s courtyard.
“Hahaha! Look at what they’re unloading, Chief Huo!” a thin, goat-bearded Rank 5 Early alchemist laughed until tears came out of his eyes.
“Strawberries, lemons, fruit juice, and gelatin?!
Earlier when that old wooden puppet released a wisp of Golden Core soul-pressure, I actually thought Gu Changsheng had hired a real ancient Pill Saint! Put look—they didn’t even bring a single bronze pill cauldron or a sack of mineral lead! They’re opening a fruit-jelly dessert stand across from our Myriad Pill Hall!”
