Even if one or two people couldn’t discover the wonderful effect of the bead in the belly of the Jiang’chuan Lin Fish, it couldn’t be that thousands, tens of thousands of people couldn’t even discover it?

She suspected that it was a talent of the Ice Luan race.

“That’s of course.” Bing Ji raised his beak proudly and his small eyes rolled around, “But if Owner wants to learn this special method, then I can teach it to you for free.”

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes lit up.
She could comprehend all the Elemental Laws of this world and had comprehended the Fire Elemental Energy Law the deepest, followed by the Ice Element.
If she could comprehend the Water Element Law more deeply, then that was even better.

“Can the blue beads in the Jiang’chuan Lin Fish be preserved?” Lou Mu Yan telepathically asked.

“Naturally it’s possible.
But there’s practically no one on this Continent who knows the wondrous effects of the beads in the Jiang’chuan Lin Fish, so there shouldn’t be anyone who would collect these water essences.” Bing Ji said as he used his beak to comb his feathers.

Lou Mu Yan’s lips overflowed into an arc, then looked at Ye Qing Han and asked: “A blue bead will appear in the abdomen of the Jiang’chuan Lin Fish, do you guys keep it?”

“Although the blue beads contain some water elements, but they’re of little use.
The Clan’s warehouse seems to have collected a bunch for research purposes and hasn’t been used up.” Ye Qing Han thought a bit, “If you want, I’ll look for it after I go back and give it to you.”

“Then many thanks!” Lou Mu Yan stretched out her hand, gently flicked the head of the seven-coloured parrot on her shoulder and said with a smile: “This glutinous little thing just likes to eat that kind of blue bead the most.”

Bing Ji’s eyes twitched—Little Owner, right now it’s obviously you who needs the essence of water, but you still blame it on me…

“Though the beads are useless, but they’re delicious, so the more the better!” But a Divine Beast is beneath the eaves of another so he must bow his head1.
Bing Ji could only cooperate with Lou Mu Yan and so he said.

Ye Qing Han chuckled softly: “No problem!”

“The boat’s docked, let’s get off and wander around the city.” Ye Qing Han saw that the boat had docked, so he said to the others with a smile.

“Sure!”

After entering the main street of Luo’xi City, Lou Mu Yan discovered that this place was several times more prosperous than the Imperial Capital of Yan’zhou Kingdom.

Sword Masters riding Demonic Beasts were everywhere on the streets, forming a special landscape.

“Are all the people living in Luo’xi City Ye Clan’s people?” Lou Mu Yan asked Ye Qing Han who walked side by side with her.

These Sword Masters would all respectfully greet Ye Qing Han.
Most of them had Demonic Beasts by their sides, so they were probably all Spirit Beast Masters.

“Not all.
Luo’xi City is a city under the jurisdiction of the Ye Clan.
Most of these people come from branches of the Ye Clan, but there are also some who are outsider Sword Masters who settled here.
Though, most of their identities are Spirit Beast Masters.” Ye Qing Han explained.

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes revealed understanding: “No wonder the Sword Masters we encountered along the way basically all had Demonic Beasts as transportation.
This really is worthy of being known as the ‘City of Spirit Beast Masters’.”

“Although there are many Spirit Beast Masters in Luo’xi City, but more than nine-tenths remain as Grade 1 or 2 Spirit Beast Masters.
Those Grade 3 and higher are all in the Ye Clan.” Speaking of this, a smile and confidence rose on Ye Qing Han’s handsome face.

“Then Qing Han’s Spirit Beast Master Grade mustn’t be low, right?” Lou Mu Yan had a smile in her eyes.

Ye Qing Le smiled and said: “Elder Brother is a Grade 4 Spirit Beast Master.”

Lou Mu Yan’s beautiful eyes revealed some appreciation, “Qing Han’s talent is truly outstanding.”

Spirit Beast Masters, like Alchemists and Smiths, were divided into nine grades.
Grade 3 or lower could tame Demonic Beasts under Tier 4, while Grade 4 could tame Demonic Beasts at Tier 5.

Under normal circumstances, based on the Sword Master’s cultivation base, the Spirit Beast Master could only control Demonic Beasts at least a stage lower than themselves.
For example, Ye Qing Han, at Sword King cultivation base, could tame Tier 4 Demonic Beasts, and could only be a Grade 3 Spirit Beast Master at most.

So now that he was a Grade 4 Spirit Beast Master, it belonged to a cross-stage contract, which also proved that his talent for taming beasts were excellent and powerful.

Being praised by Lou Mu Yan, the corners of Ye Qing Han’s lips unconsciously raised into an arc, “Ahead of us is the largest pill shop of Luo’xi City.
The Spiritual Herbs inside are relatively complete.
Let’s go and take a look.”

“Sure.”

Shi Feng’s eyes also revealed some interest.
Luo’xi City had some special Companion Spiritual Herbs2 which he was also very interested in.

After walking for more than thirty metres, what one saw was a three-storey building with the three words ‘Hundred Herbs Hall’ written on an inscribed board in the middle.

As soon as one entered the shop, two shop assistants immediately came up to greet them, “Young Lord, Young Masters and Young Misses, please come in.”

There were a few tables and chairs for guests to rest in the hall, all of which were filled with people.
Inside, there were two rows of counters where the shopkeeper, who originally had his head lowered to do accounts, immediately raised his head, and greeted them with a smile after hearing the shop assistants.

“Greetings, Young Lord, Young Masters and Young Misses!”

“Shopkeeper, take out two copies of your Spiritual Herbs list and let us have a look.” Ye Qing Han said lightly.

“Yes.
Young Lord, Young Masters and Young Misses please follow me to the distinguished guest room on the second floor.” The shopkeeper respectfully led the several people to a private room on the second floor.

Within the private room, there were a few flowers and plants placed in there, and the layout was rather refreshing, giving people a fresh and natural feeling.

As soon as they sat down, two maidservants came in with teapots and poured tea for them.

An attendant in the shop obeyed the shopkeeper’s instructions and came in with two jade slips.
The shopkeeper immediately picked them up and handed it to Ye Qing Han, “Young Lord, this is the list of all the items sold in our shop.
Please take a look!”

Ye Qing Han handed the two jade slips to Lou Mu Yan and Shi Feng, “Take a look to see if there are any Spiritual Herbs you need to purchase.”

Lou Mu Yan took one and scanned it with her Mental Energy.
The items on the market in the jade slip were divided into three categories.

The first category was the pill area.
This pill shop had more than ten types of pills for sale, basically all Grade 1 and 2 pills.
In a deeper column, there was a type of Grade 3 pill for sale, but it was limited, and only sold to distinguished guests.

The second category was the Spiritual Herbs area.
There were more than one hundred types of Spiritual Herbs, and among them, there were more than a dozen species of Companion Spiritual Herbs that could only grow on the Tamer Spirit Mountain near the Ye Clan, and five types of Spiritual Herbs that were main ingredients to refine Grade 3 pills, also only open to distinguished guests.

The third category was a medicinal resource and auxiliary products area.
There were some medicinal resources that were either required by mortal humans when they were ill, or were used to refine certain Grade 1 pills that promoted blood circulation.
There were also those that treated internal and external injuries, as well as some medical items to support refining pills and treating illnesses.

Lou Mu Yan stayed in the Spiritual Herbs category for the longest time and memorised the Spiritual Herbs she wanted.
Then she scanned the medicinal materials and auxiliary category, and when she saw the Jiang’chuan Lin Fish Bead, she paused.

She looked up at the shopkeeper and asked: “You have Jiang’chuan Lin Fish Beads for sale? These beads can be used to refine pills?”

The shopkeeper saw that her temperament was extraordinary, had Sword King strength at such a young age, and was also a friend of Young Lord Ye, so he replied respectfully with a smile: “The Jiang’chuan Lin Fish Bead contains a trace of Water Elemental Energy which can neutralise some pill’s medicinal properties, making them milder and non-irritating to use, but it doesn’t have much other use.”

Lou Mu Yan nodded and said calmly: “However many you have, I want them all.”

Surprise flashed past the shopkeepers eyes.
Although this Jiang’chuan Lin Fish Bead can neutralise medicinal properties, but one didn’t need to use much.
Why did this Young Miss want so much?

But he didn’t dare ask more.
After thinking about it, he reported a number: “There are about two hundred left.”

“Mm, I want it all.” Lou Mu Yan put down the jade slip then told him all the Spiritual Herbs she wanted, “However many of these Spiritual Herbs you have, I want that many.”

The smile on the shopkeeper’s face couldn’t be restrained.
This Young Miss was really a big customer!

Translated product by May Our 梦 Come True

1a play on the idiom ‘when one is beneath the eaves of another, one must bow their head’.
人在屋檐下不得不低头.
Basically means that when a person isn’t comparable to another in terms of status, strength, opportunity etc, they must know to yield and be flexible.

2Companion Spiritual Herbs are mentioned a lot in xianxia novels I’m pretty sure, I just don’t know if it’s translated the same.
Basically Spiritual Herbs that grow alongside specific species of Demonic Beasts and such.
