Chapter 57 The old man knew you weren't up to any good.
Geng Yu: "Do you think my master will be able to get the spirit stones smoothly?"
Zhong Qi looked at him with a "Are you an idiot? Do you even need to ask?" expression and mocked him.
“Your master is a miser, but my master is a sugar rooster. Not only does he not give a single feather, he also tries to steal some feathers from others.”
Geng Yu: ...You're right, it feels like ten thousand mid-grade medicines have flown away.
Zhong Qi: No, there's more to come.
The main hall of the Lingyun Sect.
"Senior brother, what brings you here today?"
Elder Mu Sen and Sect Master Zhou Yuntian of Lingyun Sect are disciples of Supreme Elder Qiu Mu.
Zhou Yuntian is at the Nascent Soul stage and a seventh-tier weapon refiner.
Mu Sen is in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm and is an eighth-level alchemist.
"Sect Master, as you know, I have been trying to improve the alchemy method over the years in order to increase the efficiency of alchemy."
Even if we don't aim for a full batch, achieving seven grains per batch would put our sect ahead of other sects.
Zhou Yuntian nodded.
This is true.
A single low-grade eighth-rank pill is worth at least a million low-grade spirit stones.
One more furnace means one more egg, which is equivalent to one million more.
Two more, and that would be two million.
If he could have ten or a hundred batches, Zhou Yuntian felt like hundreds of millions of high-grade spirit stones were beckoning to him.
Tu Shan: People from the Lingyun Sect all draw big, round cakes for themselves to eat.
Elder Mu smiled ingratiatingly and said, "So you support me going to learn it, right, my good sect leader?"
Zhou Yuntian raised an eyebrow and replied, "Of course! This is great news! How long will the training last? When will we depart?"
Elder Mu: "I can set off at any time, but I don't know when the sect leader wants me to depart."
"Alright, then set off now!"
Elder Mu, his face glowing, walked up to Zhou Yuntian and extended a hand.
Zhou Yuntian raised an eyebrow.
Old man, I knew you wouldn't come here with anything good.
I was originally planning to send you out for a stroll, instead of causing trouble in the sect, you actually came here to ask for things.
If you can take a single blade of grass from me today, I'll take your surname.
Zhou Yuntian smiled slightly, stretched out a hand, and patted Elder Mu's palm.
"Snapped!"
"Senior brother, I wish you all the best!"
Zhou Yuntian offered his blessings and then disappeared from Elder Mu's sight.
"Heh, trying to escape? You'll be back by my side in less than three days."
Elder Mu disappeared from the sect leader's hall.
Tu Shan was unaware that the promised benefits would soon cause chaos within the Lingyun Sect.
After three hours of compression, the spiritual energy in the dantian finally stopped causing trouble.
Looking up at the sky, it was too late; it seemed I would have to stay and rest there for the night.
"Mimi, you stay here and watch over me, I'm going to sleep for a while."
He took out a soft couch, lay down, and fell asleep immediately.
As dawn broke, Tu Shan stretched and continued to compress his spiritual energy.
As the sun began to set, I packed my things and prepared to head to the next city.
Reluctantly handing over another low-grade spirit stone, Tu Shan decided to go shopping first and see if there was anything she needed to buy.
Lingbao Pavilion?
Upon entering the first floor, no one came forward to greet me.
There is one counter each in the east, west, south, north, northeast, southeast, northwest, and southwest, with eight waiters each in charge of one counter.
The four main sides sell Tier 3 and Tier 4 Arts, while the other four sides sell Tier 1 and Tier 2 items.
Everything in the counter has a clearly marked price.
I cursed the unscrupulous merchant a thousand times in my mind and memorized the prices of all the items.
I took a deep breath and headed up to the second floor.
I can't afford items from Tier 4 to Tier 6, I can't afford any of them.
Taking pills as an example, a low-grade fourth-order pill costs 500 low-grade spirit stones, while a high-grade pill costs as much as 2,000.
A low-grade fifth-rank pill costs two thousand spirit stones, while a high-grade pill costs ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.
Lower-grade sixth rank?
Ha, almost 30,000 low-grade spirit stones, and nearly 100,000 high-grade ones.
A thousand "fucks" thoughts raced through Tu Shan's mind as he rubbed his head.
Damn it.
After Tu Shan finished her tour, her eyes reddened.
She admitted that she was envious and jealous.
There are so many people in the world with spirit stones, why can't there be one more like her?
Damn you, God! Why do you have to make her work so hard? Couldn't you have just been born a second-generation immortal?
Why let her be a celestial being, so that she can be filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred for her non-existent descendants?
After grumbling to myself for a while, I felt much better.
Alchemy is essential.
Buy spiritual plants and alchemy furnaces.
Her broken alchemy furnace had no discernible grade; it was something her stepmother had left behind for the original owner.
The original owner embarked on the path of alchemy because of the alchemy furnace left behind by Tu Yuanshuang.
When she missed her mother, she would take it out to look at it, and one day it suddenly occurred to her that her mother left behind the alchemy furnace in the hope that she would become an alchemist and solve her problem of being physically weak.
Thus began the young girl's journey in alchemy.
She looked around and found a girl who could help her.
"Sister, do you accept things here?"
“Yes, little fairy, please follow me this way.”
Tu Shan followed the young lady into the private room.
"Please sit down, little fairy."
"Sister, do you collect demonic beasts here?"
"Okay, little fairy, don't worry, our Lingbao Pavilion offers absolutely fair prices."
Tu Shan smiled and said, "I trust you, sister. I'd like to ask about the prices of monsters from the first to the fifth tier."
"Six low-grade spirit stones for a first-tier beast, twenty-three low-grade spirit stones for a second-tier beast, one hundred and one for a third-tier beast, five hundred and fifty for a fourth-tier beast, and one thousand and five for a fifth-tier beast. Of course, this is for beasts with intact corpses."
Thinking back to the price the shopkeeper offered last time, I exclaimed how treacherous society is.
Fortunately, the initial shipment was not large.
"Sister, will you accept those pills?"
The young woman smiled even more sincerely and said, "Of course I'll accept."
"I would like to ask about the prices of first and second-grade high-quality pills, and third-grade mid-quality and above."
"Twenty for first-grade superior quality, one hundred for second-grade superior quality, three hundred for third-grade mid-grade quality, and eight hundred for superior quality."
One thousand low-grade fourth-order items, two thousand mid-grade items, and four thousand high-grade items.
Five thousand for low-grade fifth-tier, seven thousand for mid-grade, and ten thousand for high-grade.
"What level of demonic beast and elixir are you planning to devise, young friend?"
Tu Shan had already cursed the shopkeeper a thousand times in her heart.
If she hadn't bargained, she would have lost a fortune.
The prices here are indeed quite reasonable.
"Is this price a scam to fool a kid like me? I previously charged 25 for a first-grade high-quality pill and 120 for a second-grade high-quality pill. How come it's so much cheaper here?"
"Forget it, I'll just go back and find that shopkeeper!"
After Tu Shan finished speaking, he got up and walked out.
As expected, they will be stopped.
"Little fairy, wait a minute. He's offering you such a high price because you've shipped a lot of goods, right?"
Tu Shan shook his head: "Not many, only a few hundred."
The young woman smiled professionally and continued, "We also offer discounts for customers who buy in bulk."
For shipments of 500 or more units, the price increases by 20%. For 1,000 units, it's 30%; for 5,000 units, it's 40%, provided they are of the same grade.
Cheating!
Traps are everywhere.
First, who would release a thousand or even five thousand at once without fear of being robbed?
Secondly, with so much money, wouldn't it be better to open your own shop?
Third, who has the energy to refine pills of the same grade?
If you could refine a thousand high-grade items, you would have upgraded long ago, okay?
Tu Shan quickly analyzed the pros and cons.
"Sister, if the number of monsters increases, will the price also increase?"
"Yes, 10% for 1,000 heads, 20% for 5,000 heads, and 30% for 10,000 heads."
Are there any discounts on purchases?
