Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 699 Troll Blood and Bones, Immortal-Nourishing Pill! (Two Chapters Combined)

Baihu stood there stunned for a moment, and then explained a few words to Song Changming with some doubt, which made him understand.

In the immortal realm, immortals exchange goods and resources, which naturally requires certain hard currencies to circulate as transactions.

The Immortal Nourishing Pill that Baihu just mentioned is one of the hard currencies among immortals.

This elixir of immortality can enhance an immortal's power and cultivation. Almost all immortals can use this elixir, and it is extremely popular, which is why it circulates as a form of currency.

As for whether a low-grade Immortal Nourishing Pill is expensive as an entry fee, Song Changming has no idea yet.

"Is this Immortal Nourishing Pill for you?" Song Changming looked at the white tiger again and asked.

"How could that be? I am merely a guardian beast. How could I possibly collect Immortal Nourishing Pills for the Celestial Court?" The White Tiger shook its head immediately, fearing that Song Changming would misunderstand.

"I'm just giving you a heads-up. Once you get up there, heavenly soldiers will come and take the elixir from you."

Seeing that Song Changming was still silent, Baihu, though still somewhat skeptical that Song Changming couldn't produce a low-grade Immortal Nourishing Pill, still made a suggestion.

"If you do not have any elixir on you at the moment, but have Immortal-Seeking Grass or Immortal Spirit Flower, I can give you an Immortal-Nourishing Pill instead."

Both the Immortal-Seeking Grass and the Immortal Spirit Flower are precious materials for refining the Immortal-Nourishing Pill, and therefore can also be traded as a form of currency, although their trading value is not as high as that of the finished Immortal-Nourishing Pill.

"As is customary, ten Immortal Spirit Flowers can be exchanged for one low-grade Immortal Nourishing Pill, while one hundred Immortal Herbs are required."

After Baihu finished speaking, he looked at Song Changming and found that the other party still looked troubled, which made Baihu feel helpless.

If you don't have this or that, and you're broke, what are you doing in this immortal city? Are you just wandering around aimlessly?

"I wonder if I could exchange something else for the Immortal Nourishing Pill?" Song Changming asked.

He had none of those things, like the Immortal Herb or the Immortal Flower.

Having just entered the Immortal Realm, he was completely unaware of many of its intricacies.

"Then I wonder what the immortals can offer." The white tiger's tone remained polite, showing no disrespect despite Song Changming's status as a poor ghost from the immortal realm.

Song Changming glanced at his Qiankun Ring.

Ordinary things from the mundane world are unlikely to catch the other person's eye.

After all, this white tiger also lived in the Immortal Realm, and it's even very likely that it obtained an official position in the Immortal Court.

After a moment's thought, Song Changming tried to take out a large tortoise shell.

This is the shell of the old tortoise that he fought in the volcano. After his flesh and blood were refined, only this shell remains.

The old tortoise's soul remained within the soul banner.

The tortoise shell is hard, ranking among the best among the things Song Changming has ever seen, which is why it has been preserved to this day.

Song Changming displayed it now simply to see if it had any value in the Immortal Realm.

As a result, Baihu only glanced at it and shook his head.

"This tortoise has not yet transcended the mortal realm and become an immortal; this shell is not worth it, not worth it at all."

Song Changming gave up and took out several more rare items in his opinion, but they were all rejected by Baihu.

The reason is pretty much the same: it's not a divine product, so it's useless.

Now, Song Changming basically understood.

Only items of celestial grade can fetch a high price in the celestial realm.

Everything else is worthless in front of these celestial beasts and immortals.

As a result, Song Changming doesn't have much of value left.

Finally, Song Changming took out a piece of pure white material.

"What is this?" The white tiger, whose eyelids had been drooping, suddenly straightened up, and even the white fur on its body fluttered up.

“Troll bones,” Song Changming said calmly, observing the other party’s reaction.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Baihu calmed down and nodded, saying, "This piece of troll bone can be exchanged for a low-grade Immortal Nourishing Pill."

"If any immortals have more troll bones they don't know what to do with, they can give them to me; I'll take them all."

He didn't ask Song Changming how he obtained the troll bones, only saying, "I want as many as you have."

This was undoubtedly telling Song Changming that these things were very valuable on the market, and even immortals coveted these giant demon bones.

"That's all. I got it by chance, and this is the only one I have," Song Changming said, shaking his head.

In fact, he still had some troll bones in his Qiankun Ring that he hadn't refined yet, and what he took out was the smallest piece of bone fragment among them.

Upon hearing that there was only one, Baihu felt a little disappointed, but still decisively spat out a small medicine box from his mouth.

Upon opening it, a pill imbued with celestial energy lay quietly inside—the very same Immortal Nourishing Pill.

"Wait, I didn't say I agreed." Seeing Baihu's eagerness, Song Changming was no longer in a hurry.

"This," Baihu realized that he hadn't acted calmly enough and had given himself away, so he had no choice but to say.

"So what price are you asking for?"

Just as Song Changming was about to make an outrageous demand to test the waters, a voice suddenly came from the horizon.

"A piece of troll bone is only worth a low-grade Immortal Nourishing Pill. You tiger spirit, you are truly cunning!"

The white tiger bared its teeth, looking angrily, and saw two beams of light, one yellow and one purple, fall from the sky, transforming into two human figures.

They turned out to be two exceptionally beautiful women.

The woman draped in yellow gauze had a charming and innocent appearance. With a soft snort, she expressed her disdain for the white tiger.

Undoubtedly, those words just now came from her mouth.

Another woman in purple had long, straight hair, an expressionless and aloof demeanor, and held a sword in her hand, remaining silent.

"Who are you?" Baihu was annoyed by the other party's meddling, and his tone made it difficult to maintain the decorum and gentleness of a member of the Celestial Court.

"My name is Lou Leilei." The woman in the yellow veil raised her slightly rounded chin, showing no fear of the white tiger.

Then she looked at Song Changming beside her and said, "Could I borrow this giant demon bone for a look? I'll definitely give you a fair price!"

Song Changming glanced at the white tiger, said nothing more, and directly enveloped the giant demon bone with his immortal power, floating to the yellow-veiled woman so that she could appraise it herself.

This troll bone is nearly two meters long and about the thickness of a normal human thigh, with its surface covered in cracks and pits.

Song Changming only knew that the troll bone could be refined to greatly increase physical strength and power. He didn't know if the troll bone had any other uses or what its value was.

Judging from the current situation, such a giant demon bone is obviously worth a lot in the Immortal Realm, and it certainly cannot be bought with a mere low-grade Immortal Nourishing Pill. This can be confirmed by the white tiger's angry appearance.

"It's the blood and bones of a two-horned troll, amazing!" Lou Leilei's eyes lit up, curving into crescents as she clapped her hands and exclaimed.

"Sister, look." She then looked at the woman in purple who was traveling with her.

"Your judgment is correct," Zi Rou'er said coldly, her hands clasped around her sword.

She wasn't interested in the troll blood bones in front of her; her attention was more focused on the white tiger and Song Changming.

As the guardian beast of this immortal city, the White Tiger, with its identity in the Immortal Court, is naturally bound by the rules of the Immortal Court.

It could swindle Song Changming's troll blood bone, but it couldn't directly and brutally steal it, otherwise it wouldn't be able to explain itself to the Celestial Court.

"The blood and bones of the two-horned troll, used as the core material, are enough to forge two mid-grade magic weapons. If given to a master craftsman, a high-grade magic weapon might also be forged."

Lou Leilei seemed to be deliberately saying this to Song Changming, making him understand the true value of this troll blood bone: an excellent material for refining magical artifacts.

Then Lou Leilei flipped her palm, took out a small elixir bottle, and gave her price quote.

"Twelve mid-grade Immortal Nourishing Pills."

As soon as she finished speaking, she shook the small pill bottle and found fifteen pills inside. Seemingly too lazy to take out more, she casually changed her price.

"Then fifteen mid-grade Immortal Nourishing Pills will do."

Song Changming glanced at his brother Baihu, who had fallen silent and seemed to be dozing off.

Although he wasn't sure what the true value of this piece of two-horned troll blood bone was, the little girl in front of him was clearly much more sincere than the white tiger.

"May I ask, young lady, what is the difference between this low-grade pill and your mid-grade pill?" Song Changming asked first.

"You don't know?" Lou Leilei was also surprised and stared at Song Changming a few more times.

An immortal with superhuman strength already in the mid-to-late stage actually didn't know the value of this Immortal Nourishing Pill.

If this is true, she is genuinely curious about how Song Changming acquired such immortal cultivation.

"If I were to exchange these fifteen mid-grade Immortal Nourishing Pills for one hundred and fifty low-grade pills," Lou Leilei replied, raising her eyebrows.

"Is one mid-grade pill worth ten low-grade pills?" Song Changming had a good idea.

Therefore, this troll blood and bone should indeed have considerable value.

His Qiankun Ring still contained some unrefined giant demon blood bones, which was quite a fortune among immortals.

"Deal." Song Changming wasn't greedy, so he didn't haggle and readily agreed.

After taking the bottle, he opened the stopper, and streams of pure immortal energy immediately flowed out from the bottle opening.

Compared to the low-grade pill that the White Tiger had just given them, these mid-grade pills contained significantly more immortal energy.

Song Changming could tell the difference between the two at a glance.

Therefore, it is indeed possible that one mid-grade pill is equivalent to ten low-grade pills.

After a moment's thought, Song Changming took out one of the mid-grade pills and said to Lou Leilei, "I wonder if you could exchange it for ten low-grade pills for me?"

"You really are penniless." Lou Leilei looked at Song Changming and couldn't help but laugh.

Despite possessing the cultivation of an immortal, he acted as if he had just completed his tribulation, completely penniless.

Oh, and there's also a troll blood bone, which I don't know if I got lucky or how.

"I don't have any low-grade immortal-nourishing pills on me, do you have any, sister?" Lou Leilei looked at the woman in purple beside her.

The woman in purple remained silent, and did not seem to have any opinion.

"Don't delay any longer." Seeing that Lou Leilei still had the interest to say something to Song Changming, the woman in purple frowned slightly and spoke.

"Alright," Lou Leilei had no choice but to give up.

The two women then ignored the white tiger and headed directly towards the immortal city above.

"Looks like a pair of wealthy immortals," Song Changming thought to himself, his gaze shifting to the silent white tiger beside him.

"Brother Tiger, shall we exchange?"

"I only have nine low-grade Immortal Nourishing Pills here," the white tiger said sullenly. With a flick of its tail, it opened its mouth and spat out nine shimmering low-grade Immortal Nourishing Pills, which were neatly arranged in front of it.

Song Changming smiled slightly, then turned and left.

"Wait, I just realized there's one more." The White Tiger suddenly spat out another low-grade pill, bringing the total to ten.

"Brother Tiger, this is much better." After the two exchanged places, Song Changming couldn't help but say, already having made his own judgment.

While it may seem that one mid-grade pill is worth ten low-grade pills, in reality, a mid-grade pill might still be worth a few more.

People like Baihu clearly value mid-grade pills more, and are quite willing to exchange low-grade pills for them even if there is no profit to be made.

"Immortal, it's not unreasonable for me to charge a small fee for information, is it?" the White Tiger said, trying to justify his previous actions.

Song Changming smiled slightly and didn't continue arguing with the white tiger.

He realized that this white tiger was just a watchdog kept by the Celestial Court under the Celestial City, and didn't have a high status.

With immortal power surrounding him, Song Changming took to the air and headed towards the immortal city above.

A gust of wind swept past me, and my immortal power blocked the gravity of heaven and earth that was exerting on me, making me feel light and free.

With a whoosh, Song Changming burst through the clouds and arrived high in the sky.

He saw the morning glow, the nine suns filling the sky, and streaks of celestial light flashing and flowing.

And that celestial city floating right before our eyes!

The enormous immortal city remained motionless, like a still image, which was quite magical.

Only above the city, the ethereal energy of immortals rippled and swirled, adding to the city's ethereal atmosphere.

Ordinary people, upon seeing it, would only think that the cloud city before them was an illusion, a mirage.

When Song Changming arrived at the gate of the immortal city, he saw four armored soldiers holding silver-white halberds.

The warriors were fully armed in their armor, which was also silver-white and engraved with celestial patterns, exuding a spiritual aura.

The murderous aura emanating from the halberd is so terrifying that even immortals dare not act recklessly here.

The armored soldier was stern and never smiled, always with a straight face, his eyes shining with divine light, and he exuded an ethereal aura.

Without a doubt, these four armored soldiers guarding the gates of the immortal city were heavenly soldiers dispatched by the celestial court.

Every now and then, streaks of light would approach from afar, land in front of the city gate, and transform into immortals about to enter the city.

The immortals didn't say much, and simply wrapped a low-grade Immortal Nourishing Pill in their immortal power and handed it over.

Once the soldier had taken the elixir, he ignored the immortal and allowed him to enter the immortal city.

Seeing this, Song Changming followed suit and used his immortal power to push away a low-grade Immortal Nourishing Pill.

The soldier took the elixir, glanced at Song Changming once, and then ignored him.

Without any obstacles, Song Changming entered the city smoothly.

This is said to be a celestial city, but in terms of its layout, it is somewhat similar to a human city.

Several main roads are lined with rows of tiled buildings, each forming a distinct area.

The entire immortal city is actually not very large; you can see the end of it at a glance.

There were quite a few immortals walking along the roads on both sides; Song Changming glanced at them casually and counted at least several hundred.

In this celestial city, they withdrew their immortal power and concealed their aura. Many even had their faces obscured by a hazy aura, making them difficult to see clearly.

Song Changming doesn't understand the rules of this immortal city yet, but that doesn't stop him from following them.

They also withdrew their immortal power and concealed their aura.

Just as he was about to cover his face as well, a familiar voice came from not far away.

"Oh, you're up here too."
