Aethoros Bolton left the East Palace and came to Imperial Capital Street.

This is another street in the imperial capital, as famous as Wangfu Street. It is a place where restaurants, inns, the Colosseum, auction houses, Baihua Tower and other gold selling dens gather.

It is known as the ‘street that never sleeps’. ’

On this street, in the most prosperous and prime area, there is a nine-story tower with cornices and brackets, which is the Daganfen Tower of Dan Pagoda.

to afternoon.

At the entrance of the Alchemy Pagoda, there was an endless stream of traffic.

It was Aethoros Bolton first time here, and customers recognized him instantly——

"Crown Prince the Crown Prince?"

"Yes, he is the Crown Prince. I saw him from a distance during the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony before... But I heard that he was deposed. The current Crown Prince is the original Second prince."

"He was deposed?"

"It has been spread in the palace for a long time that he is going to join the Wu Dynasty and will set off tomorrow."

"Bring-in-law?"

"This is what is commonly known as a door-to-door son-in-law. I heard that there will be a welcoming team tomorrow morning!"

The imperial city has three ranks of civilian officials.

What's more, these people who come to Danta to spend money are all well-known figures in the Daqian Dynasty. They are extremely well-informed. It is not surprising that they know the prince and senior officials.

Hearing about Aethoros Bolton's experience, he became interested.

"What is he doing here?"

"There must be something going on... let's follow and take a look!"

Some people who had just left the Dan Pagoda followed Aethoros Bolton in again.

Inside Dantan.

Shelves are lined up one after another, displaying various products. Customers are selecting elixirs, and Danta staff are explaining the effects of the medicines.

Aethoros Bolton first time here.

A staff member noticed that he was here for the first time, so he came over and asked, "What would you like, sir?"

"Elixir."

"What type and grade?"

"It's used to assist training."Aethoros Bolton paused: "Second grade, probably."

"What? He wants to buy a second-grade elixir?"

"Second-grade elixirs are for the foundation-building realm. I've never heard of anyone from the younger generation of the royal family who has established a foundation. And it's not like he can't practice. Why buy elixirs?"

"Is it a dowry?"

"It's possible. I heard that the Dawu Dynasty was more martial. It's very reasonable to choose elixirs as dowry. He would be very upset if he married with nothing!"

The onlookers guessed.

When the Alchemy Pagoda staff heard the guess, they felt it made sense. They smiled at Aethoros Bolton and said, "Sir, please come with me. The second-grade elixir is on the shelf at the back."

Aethoros Bolton followed and came to a more luxurious shelf.

There are so many things on it.

Dan Pagoda staff introduced: "This is a foundation-building pill, which has the effect of strengthening the foundation and cultivating the essence, breaking through the realm and building the foundation. It is suitable for peak Qi training. This is a bone-forging pill, which can strengthen the body and bones, and is suitable for physical training. This is The Yijin Pill can expand the meridians, improve toughness, and accommodate more true energy. This is the Mingwu Pill, which can improve understanding and help practice Qigong..."

Introducing more than a dozen types in one go.

Each has a distinct effect.

Aethoros Bolton selected a bottle of dark green elixir with the label 'Second Grade Spirit Gathering Pill' written on it: "Where is this one?"

"The second-grade Spirit Gathering Pill is the same as the first-grade pill. The difference is that the spiritual energy contained in it is more pure and powerful. It is suitable for monks with higher status." The Danta staff said: "I suggest that you look at other pills."

"No, that's it. How much does it cost?"

Aethoros Bolton.

The Dan Pagoda staff was stunned. The second-grade Spirit Gathering Pill only had the effect of assisting cultivation and did not have any other additional abilities. Only those with deep pockets rarely bought it.

However, when thinking about Aethoros Bolton being used as a dowry, and if you don’t know what type of elixir the other party needs, choosing the Spirit Gathering Pill is definitely the right choice.

"One thousand taels of silver."

the staff member said.

"Twenty pills first."

Aethoros Bolton took out from his arms a gold and jade phoenix hairpin that his mother received for her birthday: "This is made of South China Sea jade and gold, worth more than 20,000 taels of silver."

"Please wait a moment, sir, I need to make an appraisal."

The Danta staff took it with both hands.

Then he arranged for colleagues to send it for appraisal, and he continued to entertain Aethoros Bolton: "Do you need any other elixirs, sir? Should the excess of the jewelry be converted into silver notes or spirit-gathering elixirs?"

"Spirit Gathering Pill."

Aethoros Bolton continued to look at the elixir.

He was born with a Taoist body, with nine orifices formed by elixirs, and his physical talent was definitely the best in Jambu Continent. He did not need elixirs such as bone forging, tendon-changing, etc., he only needed to increase his true energy.

The Spirit Gathering Pill is a luxury product in the eyes of others, but to him it is a necessity!

suddenly--

Aethoros Bolton was attracted to a bottle of yellow elixir with the label 'Jiaohun Zhendan' written on it.

"Is this also a second-grade elixir?"

"This is an elixir purchased by Danta. It was originally a fifth-grade elixir, but the refining failed. It is a waste elixir. Because the medicinal materials used are good and some medicinal effects remain, it is sold as a second-grade elixir."

Danta staff explained.

"How much?"

"Five thousand taels... It's quite expensive because the medicinal materials used are so good. Some alchemists can also take a peek at the fifth-grade elixir recipe by splitting it apart."

the staff member said.

The price of 5,000 taels was considered to be the best of the second grade. He was embarrassed to sell a waste elixir, thinking that the appraiser responsible for the price had something wrong with his head.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be the case that they have been sitting there for two years and haven’t been sold yet.

No matter how precious the elixir is, it is worthless the moment the refining fails. Even if there is some remaining medicinal effect, no one dares to eat the waste elixir, which is no different from poison.

"I want it."

As a result, Aethoros Bolton bought it directly.

"Um?"

The staff suspected that they heard wrongly.

Aethoros Bolton took out a jade ring and said, "Take it for appraisal. If you add the phoenix hairpin, the value will be higher than lower."

"okay."

The staff was busy taking it.

When the onlookers saw Aethoros Bolton buying a waste elixir, they started talking again: "He really doesn't know how to practice, and he doesn't know that the waste elixir is worthless."

"I must have thought it was a good thing when I heard it was fifth grade. I wanted to take it to the Wu Dynasty as a dowry."

"When Wu Chao saw him bringing this thing out, he had to scold him to death!"

"Alas, our former Crown Prince is not a bad character, but he is unable to practice. He is a mess in matters related to practice. Your Majesty is right to deprive him of the title of Crown Prince."

Faced with criticism, Aethoros Bolton remained calm.

Although he could not practice before, he had read many martial arts books, so of course he knew what the Waste Pill was.

But he was born with a Taoist body, and his elixir formed nine orifices. His body was like a furnace, and he could even refine spiritual weapons and flying swords. What was the point of absorbing a useless elixir?

The medicinal materials selected for the fifth-grade elixir are extremely precious, and the remaining one-tenth of the medicinal effect is worth dozens or even hundreds of second-grade Qi Gathering Pills.

As long as the remaining medicinal effects can be absorbed, it is a great supplement!

soon.

The Dan Pagoda staff came back with two bottles of second-grade spirit-gathering pills in their hands: "The guest's items have been appraised and the total price is twenty-seven thousand taels. These are twenty-two second-grade spirit-gathering pills."

Pass it to Aethoros Bolton first.

Then he took the Jiao Soul True Pill from the shelf and said, "This is the Jiao Soul True Pill. Please keep it."

Accept the Aethoros Bolton.

Get ready to leave.

As soon as I turned around, I saw a familiar figure.

Gan Shaoyu, dressed in a four-clawed python Orphelion Bolton, appeared in front of him. He looked at the elixir in his hand with a sinister look on his face, and said solemnly: "Aethoros Bolton, if you don't stay in the palace, why are you running to the elixir tower? What elixir are you holding in your hand? Medicine, take it out and let me take a look!"

"It's the Second Emperor... no, Crown Prince Highness the Crown Prince!"

"See Crown Prince Highness the Crown Prince!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Crown Prince is blessed to the heavens and may live a thousand years old!"

The onlookers knelt on the ground.

It's a completely different attitude than when facing Aethoros Bolton.

Aethoros Bolton looked at Orphelion Bolton and found that there was a middle-aged man with a goatee standing next to him, wearing an alchemy robe. Two golden stars were embroidered on the sleeves of the alchemy robe.
