Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch 208's. The Southern City of the Star Cloud Continent
Zhang En was completely shocked, as this Golden Dragon Pill Refining Technique recorded all the methods and recipes of refining the Dragon Clan's divine spirit pill. Not only that, this manual also recorded the nine refining techniques of the Ancient Dragon Clan in detail.
There was a difference between high and low level pill refining techniques, from low, medium, high, and advanced levels, a total of four levels. The four levels are further divided into general, middle, and peak.
Among the nine recorded pill refinement techniques, six of them were intermediate-tier techniques, and the other three were high-tier techniques.
It took some time for Zhang En to calm his racing heart. When he obtained this manual from the ruins of the Ancient Dragon Clan, he put it aside, assuming that it might contain the Dragon Clan's ordinary pill refining technique, he said, he had never imagined that it would be the Dragon Clan's highest level pill refinement technique, moreover it contained nine techniques.
As long as he learned these nine techniques, Zhang En believed that there would be no pills that he would not be able to concoct.
Now, it was extremely important for Zhang En to practice, familiarize himself with them, and master these nine techniques. Despite already having plans to concoct pills, Zhang En needed to have enough ingredients for him to practice and familiarize himself with these nine pill refinement techniques.
In Zhang En's Dragon Ring, there were many precious herbs, all over ten thousand years old and above, such as the Seven-colored Spirit Mushroom, Nine Leaf Grass, or World Fire Fruit. Each of those herbs were ingredients that others could only dream of, but using them as exercise materials was impossible.
Even someone as wealthy as Zhang En was reluctant to do so. Thus, he could only wait until they exited the Demon Beast Forest and obtained the required amount of materials when they arrived at the Star Cloud Continent.
Although he could not directly practice the pill refining technique, he chose to learn it first.
Zhang En opened the sheet of the Golden Dragon Pill Refining Technique, starting from the first page, he reread everything. The first time, he looked through it quickly and at a glance, but this time Zhang En read every word and every line carefully and meticulously.
From page to page, Zhang En read through all the explanations and continued to repeat them ten times, then recalled them. After he finished, Zhang En walked out of the Golden God Mountain when it was already morning.
The group then resumed their journey.
The Demon Beast Forest covered an extremely vast area of land, equivalent to the demon beast kingdom.
Moreover, Zhang En's group traveled during the day and rested at night to cultivate, it was also what slowed their speed. It took them over twenty days to traverse the entire Demon Beast Forest.
Along the way, Zhang En's group avoided the middle region of the Demon Beast Forest as much as possible, as they avoided unnecessary trouble.
However, there were some unavoidable problems when they stopped to rest at night, demonic beasts that were not afraid of death attacked Zhang En's group. Undoubtedly, these demon beasts were easily dealt with so there was never a shortage of meat supplies they ate each night.
Every time this demonic beast came to them and attacked, Xiao Tian felt as if a fragrant roast was waving at him, and he was also the one who would be the first to rush forward. Without exception, the demonic beast died its sting with just a single blow to the head.

Arriving in the Cloud Continent....
Out of the Demon Beast Forest, they stood on the top of the hill that was there and Zhang En looked ahead where a large city was visible from a distance.
“Ruler... This region is the Continent of the Star Clouds.” Zhao Shu replied as he took out the map while examining the map, he said, "We just passed the Demon Beast Forest from the southern border, so according to the location on the map, we just passed through the Demon Beast Forest, the city in front of it was supposed to be one of the cities that existed in the southern region of the Star Cloud Continent."
"Southern Area?" Zhang En repeated mentioning the name.
“True Ruler! Our current location is in the south, under the rule of the White Phoenix House. " Zhao Shu replied.
Zhang En nodded in understanding.
"Let's head to that town." Zhang En said as he pointed towards the towering city ahead. He wanted to obtain some ingredients to start practicing refining his pills in this southern region city.
Moreover, they had eaten nothing but grilled meat lately, the spices he had stored inside his spatial ring were about to run out.
Although this Southern region was said to be under the jurisdiction Domain of the White Phoenix House, Zhang En did not bother with it too much. Hearing Zhang En say that he wanted to enter the big city, neither Zhao Shu nor Zhang Fu felt any objection. After deciding, they immediately moved towards the city.
Moments later, they stood near the city gate.
"Young Lord, this Great City is the main city that exists in the southern Region, the one who controls all of these Cities is the Great Elder of the White Phoenix House, named Yang Qing." Zhang Fu explained briefly to Zhang En.
This Southern City was equivalent to the size of an imperial city or the capital of the Empire.
The Star Cloud Continent covered an extremely large area of land, if it were another city, Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu would probably not have much information, either, but this City of Great Prosperity was a huge city, therefore both of them knew some of its information.
“Oh, Great Elder of White Phoenix House, Yang Qing? How is this Yang Qing's strength?" Zhang En asked as he walked into the City of Prosperity.
"This Qing is quite powerful, at least the peak God Hermit realm mid-late level." Zhang Fu and Zhao Shu followed Zhang En from behind.
“Sister, there are many people here!” As the golden city passed, Xiao Tian who remained near Zhang En made a loud noise, his eyes shining as he looked left and right at the sea of crowds walking along the way.
This was the first time he had left the Demonic Beast Forest and also the first time he had entered the human city. Seeing so many humans mingling at once, this was new to him.
Zhang En laughed at his words, "How about we go eat something good later?"
Xiao Tian clapped his hands cheerfully, "Ah, I want to go, I want to go!" When he mentioned food, Xiao Tian seemed to have passed the moon. Although his appearance was still small, Xiao Tian was a food lover.
"Let's go." Zhang En chuckled softly. But Zhang En decided to first head to the market selling pill refining ingredients.
After wondering about the pill refining market, Zhang En, Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, and Xiao Tian walked over to it.
The pill refining materials market of this Southern Main City was huge and bustling, beyond Zhang En's imagination.
Just when Zhang En's group stepped into the market selling pill refining ingredients, a young man in robes rushed towards them. This young man had a pair of eyes that looked sly and his sneaky face was like a rat, and when viewed closely, he looked quite funny overall.
When the young man reached in front of Zhang En, he smiled widely, saying, “Are you guys looking for ingredients for pill-making? Our Aowu Store is the largest store in the entire South Prosperity City, no matter what material you want to buy, you can get it from our store!”
"Oh, so?" Zhang En did not look interested at all. It seemed obvious that this young man was sent by Aowu Shop to lure customers at the entrance of the trading market. Wandering around the entrance of the market, there were several youths who were doing the same task. Clearly, these youths were also sent by the other shops that were in the vicinity.
The sneaky-looking young man grinned widely, “Yes, that's right. The pill refinement ingredients sold in our Aowu Store are the cheapest price but they are also the most affordable, not only that, our pill refinement ingredients are also of the best quality!”
At that moment, the other youths showed signs of approaching Zhang En's group, but the young man turned his head with a sharp gaze towards them, and their movements suddenly came to a halt. They were obviously a little afraid of him.
Still, a somewhat dwarfed young man among the group walked over. Stopping in front of Zhang En he said, “Son, don't be fooled by this Iron-skinned Youth, Aowu Shop has always been ruthless in terms of business, he said, forced buying and selling is something that is common in their store.”
The young man who was referred to as the 'Iron-skinned Man' narrowed his eyes spitefully hearing the short youth's statement, "Brother Tu, please don't say nonsense here! Which Matamj saw our Aowu Shop behave like that?" Then he turned his head towards Zhang En, “Friends, please don't listen to this dwarf's words, he just can't accept that our Aowu Store has better business than them, he said, deliberately slandering the reputation of our store in front of some customers, this is slander!”
Zhang En, Zhao Shu, and Zhang Fu exchanged glances.
Zhang En had already drawn his own conclusions.
“I trust this friend, the price in their Aowu Store is a store that sells at the cheapest price and also the most affordable.” Zhang En said to the dwarf youth with a slight smile as he pointed towards the sly-looking young man who approached him the first time.
The cunning youth called Iron-skinned Man laughed out loud, “You are indeed very wise in making a decision!”
