Chapter 350: Cloud Medicine Pavilion
The villagers on the road were very enthusiastic. When they saw the champion of the village, they greeted him warmly and nodded slightly at Lugh. They did not stop there.
The courier station was set up at the western exit of the village. After walking for a while, Lugh reached his destination.
The waiting area of the courier station was decorated with red tiles. From a distance, it looked like a huge sky-covering field. There were two stone gates in front of the gate. There was a stone tablet with the words ‘Iron Cloud Village’ engraved on it.
At the entrance of four of the large queuing stations, there were countless ox-carts and VIP carriages.
At each station entrance, there were a few people in charge of receiving people to maintain order.
The crowd at the relay station increased. Beside these people, there were a few common low-quality source beasts. A few relatively high-quality source beasts were mixed among them. The surrounding area also seemed a little noisy.
“Look, isn’t that the champion of Iron Cloud Village, Lugh?”
“Eh? It really is.”
They whispered among the crowd. Lugh walked directly to the station with fewer people. He took out five gold coins, escaped from the crowd, and put them on the reception table. He said to the staff, “Go to Musen Town and rent a private, special-class commercial carriage.”
Normally, Lugh would sit on a crowded ox-cart. Now, in order to dare to return to the village at night, he had no choice but to spend five gold coins. He couldn’t help but feel a bit extravagant.
“Okay, please wait a moment, Sir. The number of your special-class commercial carriage is number 6.” The man in charge of reception looked at Lugh curiously. Then, he began to fill out a rental form and handed it to Lugh.
“Thank you.”
After Lugh received the rental form from the staff, he walked to the front of the carriage that he was sitting in. An uncle dressed neatly and calmly was sitting on the front of the carriage, waiting for guests. In front of the carriage was a silver-grade strength horse.
[Name]: Stallion
[Race]: Spiritual Horse
[Attribute ]: Beast
[Innate Ability]: Light Breeze
This source beast was used as a riding tool. It could be considered a very luxurious carriage.
Other than the stallion, the carriage was also decorated very luxuriously. Apart from the expensive spiritual wood body, the exterior was also equipped with a windbreak device that used source energy as energy. It could allow the carriage to run at high speed, this was to prevent the carriage from bumping to the greatest extent.
After Lugh sized up the carriage, he thought to himself that spending five gold coins was worth it.
After all, an ordinary ox carriage was tied to the owner of a low-level civilian-level Ink Horn Ox. It did not even have a wind-proof device.
Lugh handed the rental bill in his hand to the imperial coachman and said faintly, “This is my rental bill. If there are no problems, let’s head out directly.”
After the other party confirmed that there were no problems with the rental form, he looked at the plainly dressed Lugh with some curiosity. However, he did not ask anything more and passed the rental form to Lugh to get on the carriage and take a seat.
After Lugh entered the carriage, this uncle maintained a very high level of professionalism. Without saying anything, he activated the wind protection device. A translucent energy shield instantly formed outside the carriage, it was used to reduce the noise of the wind and stabilize the body of the carriage.
“Drive!” The coachman swung his whip. After he shouted loudly, the stallion galloped out of the designated exit lane.
Its speed was very fast. The carriage, which was slightly larger than the horse, did not seem to affect its speed at all.
Pulling open the curtain at the rear of the carriage, Lugh saw that the shadow of the courier station had become very small. It had only been riding for a short while, but it had already pulled away from the courier station by such a large distance. It was enough to see that the horse’s speed was strong.
Along the way, the Uncle Coachman chatted with Lugh without saying a word. Lugh also learned a lot about the origin beast from his mouth. It was obvious that the Uncle Coachman was well-trained in his eloquence, along the way, the two of them talked about farming.
In less than two hours, Lugh arrived at his destination, Musen Town.
This speed was more than three times faster than an ox-cart that cost one silver coin.
After bidding farewell to the coachman, Lugh left the courier station in Musen Town.
He walked out of the city’s business district with ease.
In the past, when he bought medicinal herbs, Lugh had come to Musen Town often.
After bypassing the familiar roads, Lugh soon arrived at the business district in Musen Town.
As soon as he entered the business district, the roads began to become crowded.
Looking at the crowd of people and the shouts that soared into the sky, the business district was much more prosperous than the small business street in Iron Cloud Village.
In the business district, the dazzling array of shops dazzled people. Countless valuable items were placed at the entrance of each shop.
The customers that were attracted were all over the street.
It appeared to be very congested.
As time was limited, Lugh did not stop. He quickly bypassed a few congested intersections and arrived at the first trading place he was going to today.
Cloud Medicine Pavilion!
Cloud Medicine Pavilion was a trading place in Musen Town that specialized in selling all kinds of medicinal herbs and pills. It was also the largest medicinal herbs merchant in the entire Western Region. Its business was spread all over the place.
The dozens of shops around the Cloud Medicine Pavilion all belonged to its branches. The items they sold were of a wide variety, and their prices were favorable. They had a good reputation throughout the country.
The Cloud Medicine Pavilion was divided into lower-level areas, intermediate-level areas, and upper-level areas. According to the level of the area, the value of the items sold was divided into different levels.
Usually, Lugh would go to the lower-level areas to buy some common medicinal herbs. This time, Lugh did not go to the lower-level areas. Instead, he walked directly to the upper-level areas.
The number of people entering the upper-level area of the Cloud Medicine Pavilion had obviously decreased by a lot. Only a few dozen well-dressed people came and went, choosing the items they liked on the vast street.
After Lugh chose a shop with luxurious decorations that specialized in selling healing medicine, he walked in.
A pretty female receptionist in the medicine shop asked politely, “Hello, may I know what I can do for you?”
This was also a high-quality service attitude that the lower-class areas could not experience.
“I need some high-quality medicinal herbs to treat external injuries. One hit will help repair the space of the familiar,” Lugh directly stated his needs.
“Okay, may I know your name, Sir?” the female receptionist asked in a slightly sweet voice.
“My name is Lugh,” Lugh said without changing his expression.
“Okay, Mr. Lugh, this way please.” The female receptionist directly brought Lugh into the inner room of the shop. Outside the shop was the place to receive guests. After understanding their needs, the staff would then lead them into the inner room where the medicine was placed.
The female receptionist asked a handyman to fetch two brocade boxes. She walked in front of Lugh and asked the handyman to open the boxes.
Two medicinal pills that emitted a strange glow appeared in front of Lugh.
The female receptionist took out a medicinal pill that emitted a red glow and said, “Mr. Lugh, this is an eighth-grade vitality recovery pill. It is a high-grade medicinal pill that specializes in treating internal injuries and hidden diseases. It is a high-grade product that I specially recommended to you.”
After that, the female receptionist took out a dark blue lingzhi that looked like an ice crystal and continued, “And this is also an eighth-grade medicinal pill. It is called the ice-skin lingzhi. It can be turned into a medicinal pill without any processing.
“It can be eaten directly and has a miraculous effect on external injuries. It’s a treasure specially used in conjunction with the body tempering and vitality restoration pill.”
“How much is it in total?” Lugh was very satisfied with the two medicines for treating the human body, so he asked the female receptionist about the price.
“The body tempering and vitality restoration pill is 100 gold coins, and the ice-skin lingzhi is 145 gold coins. The total cost is 245 gold coins.”
“I want both of these things. Please recommend me some medicine to treat the familiar space.”
Without hesitation, Lugh immediately bought them. Although these two things were shockingly expensive, Lugh believed that their value was worth the price.
This was because Lugh knew that the Cloud Medicine Pavilion wouldn’t do such a foolish act of deliberately destroying their reputation by overpaying for such a small amount of money.
Moreover, he would never save the cost of treating Gary, not to mention that he was seriously injured because of him.
After Lugh bought the goods, the female receptionist’s eyes lit up. It wasn’t just that she was pleasantly surprised by Lugh’s generosity.
It was that she was happy to serve a generous customer like Lugh because she was rewarded after the goods she sold were converted into profits.
“Thank you for your generous spending, Mr. Lugh. Please follow me for the medicine to treat the familiar space.” A smile appeared on the female receptionist’s face as she asked the handyman to pack up the vitality restoration pill and the ice-skin lingzhi.
