As expected, the number of people on the third floor was nearly half that of the second floor.
“Is this daylight robbery?” Stout remarked as he glanced at a counter.
“An elemental pill of sacred grade costs five king-grade spirit stones?”
Not only him, but Ian Blade and Night Orchid were also taken aback by the price.
In the Forbidden Ruins Space, the highest grade of publicly sold pills was divine grade, which only cost four to five hundred top-grade spirit stones.
Even though sacred grade pills were one level higher than divine grade, they shouldn’t be this expensive.
Five king-grade spirit stones were equivalent to fifty thousand top-grade spirit stones, a hundred times more expensive!
“If sacred grade pills are this costly, wouldn’t supreme grade pills be even more outrageous?” Ian Blade couldn’t help but comment.
“Let’s see if there are any for sale!” Stout replied and began to look around.
However, after searching for a while, they didn’t find any supreme grade pills for sale.
“It seems that even in Sky City, supreme grade pills are priceless.” Night Orchid remarked after they had circled the floor.
“Most likely!” Stout said, then looked at Billy with shining eyes.
“Boss, this is doable. I estimate that a supreme grade elemental pill would cost at least four to five hundred king-grade spirit stones!”
Seeing his expression, Night Orchid couldn’t help but smile.
“Follow the list and purchase these herbs!” Billy handed Stout a list from his storage ring.
He had just glanced around and noticed that most of the herbs he needed were available on the third floor.
“Got it!” Stout took the list and went off to get busy.
“Boss, this Deep Sky Pharmacy isn’t simple!” After Stout left, Ian Blade looked at Billy and spoke.
“Earlier on the first floor, there were mid-level Holy Realm experts guarding in the shadows.”
“And on this third floor, although I can’t sense any hidden auras, there must be late-stage Holy Realm experts.”
“There are two ninth-rank Holy Realm experts on the third floor!” Billy replied.
“Ninth-rank Holy Realm?” Ian Blade and Night Orchid were both stunned.
For just a pharmacy to have so many strong individuals, how could Deep Sky Pharmacy be simple?
“Yes!” Billy nodded slightly. “And if I’m not mistaken, their target should be very clear!”
“What do you mean?” Ian Blade and Night Orchid were puzzled again.
“Ian, go to the counter and find out what force is behind Deep Sky Pharmacy!” Billy didn’t answer their question directly.
“Okay!” Ian Blade replied and was about to walk away.
Crash!
Just as he finished speaking, a commotion came from not far away.
Immediately after, a sharp female voice rang out.
“Where did this fat man come from? How dare you compete with me for something? Are you tired of living?”
“Boss, it’s Stout!” Night Orchid glanced ahead and informed Billy.
“Let’s go take a look!” Billy nodded and walked forward.
Soon, the three of them reached Stout’s side.
“Stout, what’s going on?” Ian Blade asked.
“This woman wanted to buy flame cloud fruit, but I bought all four remaining ones. Then she started throwing a tantrum.” Stout shrugged.
“You fat pig! Who are you calling throwing a tantrum?” The woman pointed at Stout and shouted angrily.
Then she turned to an old man beside her: “Elder Yu, slap him for me and make him kneel and kowtow ten times!”
“Hmm!” The old man responded and looked at Stout.
“No matter who you are, I advise you to do as the young lady says if you don’t want big trouble.”
“Otherwise, you’ll regret it deeply, and you can’t afford it!”
“Idiot!” Stout couldn’t help but retort.
“Insolent!” The old man frowned.
Then he waved his hand to two people behind him: “Since he doesn’t know what’s good for him, show him some strength!”
“Understood!” The two responded simultaneously and each raised a palm towards Stout.
Their skills were decent, half-step into Holy Realm cultivation.
A muffled sound echoed as the two were sent flying backward, tumbling several times before stopping on the ground.
“A warning first. If you make another move, you’ll die!” Ian Blade glanced at the two men.
“Hmm?” The old man didn’t expect Ian Blade to have such strength and frowned slightly.
“Boy, daring to touch someone from Sky City Pill Society means you really don’t know the meaning of death!”
Hearing his words, the surrounding onlookers gasped in shock.
“So they are from Sky City Pill Society. No wonder they dare to cause trouble in Deep Sky Pharmacy!”
“What is Sky City Pill Society? Are they powerful?”
“You haven’t heard of Sky City Pill Society? You’re really ignorant!”
“Sky City Pill Society is like the City Lord’s Mansion of the alchemy world in Sky City. Ninety percent of the alchemists in this city belong to them.”
A chorus of chatter arose around them.
At this moment, the old man formed a seal with his hand and hurled it towards Ian Blade.
From his aura, it was clear that he was one level higher than Ian Blade, fourth-rank Holy Realm.
“Get lost!” Ian Blade’s tone sank as he advanced instead of retreating, sweeping out a palm strike.
A muffled sound echoed as both men retreated several steps back, the wooden floor beneath them shattered into powder by their force.
Before revealing their trump cards, their combat strength was evenly matched.
“So you have some skills. No wonder you dared to make a move!” The old man steadied himself and frowned again.
“But if you think such petty skills can harm someone from Sky City Pill Society, you’re sorely mistaken. I…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Ian Blade flipped his wrist and slashed out with a blade light, cutting through like bamboo.
“You court death!” The old man shouted angrily while raising his hand to block it.
Their attacks collided again, sending the old man retreating seven or eight steps with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Before he could steady himself, a second blade light was already upon him.
“Hmm?” The old man’s pupils contracted instantly as he didn’t expect Ian Blade’s speed to be so fast.
At this moment, he had no time to dodge. Moreover, behind him was the young lady; he couldn’t dodge either.
“Stop!” At this moment, a woman’s voice rang out.
Immediately after, an almost tangible force surged from not far away, blocking Ian Blade’s blade light.
The powerful airwave forced Ian Blade back twenty or thirty meters, causing his blood to churn inside him.
“Daring to cause trouble here, what do you take Deep Sky Pharmacy for?”
A woman in a green dress walked over leisurely. She was under forty years old but still charming and graceful despite her age.
Beside her was an old man in a blue robe who had just made a move. He was at seventh-rank Holy Realm.
