The original repairer

On the Jie Xiu side, there was a team of twelve people, the leader of which was a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi training, and there were three others at the seventh level of Qi training, two at the sixth level of Qi training, two at the fifth level of Qi training, and the remaining four were at the early stage of Qi training.

Ye Baishan was very brave. Sensing the situation was not good, he immediately stepped forward to confront the lone Qi training ninth-level Tribulation cultivator. He unleashed his Flame Qi Blade Technique, forcing the opponent to take a defensive stance. Combined with the interference and attacks from his magic, the ninth-level Tribulation cultivator retreated repeatedly.

Lu Mei Niang was not inferior to the three Qi training seventh level cultivators alone, while the Qi training middle and early stage cultivators used spells to attack each other.

Shi Chen cast an earth wall in front of him and cast spells from behind. It was his first time participating in a battle between cultivators, and watching the various spells collide with each other, he felt extremely shocked.

The battle broke out on Lu Meiniang's side. One of the robbery cultivators was not on guard and was hit by a wind blade talisman from Lu Meiniang. The robbery cultivator was cut in half on the spot.

The ninth-level Qi training cultivator who was fighting with Ye Baishan saw that he had no chance of winning, so he used a fake body and escaped more than twenty feet away and started to run away.

Ye Baishan did not chase after her, but turned around and rushed towards Lu Mei Niang.

The ninth level of Qi training faced the seventh level of Qi training, and the battle was like a crushing defeat. In a few breaths, another seventh level of Qi training and two sixth level Qi training cultivators escaped, and the rest were killed by Ye Baishan and Lu Mei Niang.

Ye Baishan and his wife simply touched the corpse, disposed of it with a few fireballs, and then the group quickly headed towards Kimura Market.

After entering the market, they agreed on a time to return and then dispersed.

The Mucun Market covers an area of approximately three miles and is protected by three layers of formations. Passengers are issued a jade token, which allows them to be protected from the formations.

There are more than 10,000 cultivators in the market town. The caves occupy the largest area, followed by various shops, commercial buildings, markets, and restaurants in the market town.

In the middle of the market town was the Fiery Gate's outpost. To the east, north, and west of the outpost were cave dwellings, while to the south were various commercial buildings, restaurants, and shops. Two streets connected to a large market.

Huang Qi took the two of them to the Yahang to rent a cave. The cave had three wooden houses and a small courtyard, and the daily rent was three low-grade spirit stones.

The three of them went to different parts of the market to find out the situation.

Shi Chen first came to the market.

Various hawking and purchasing sounds came one after another, including talismans, magic tools, elixirs, spells, elixirs, monsters, and news of buying and selling.

The magical instruments at the fair were mostly low-grade or incomplete, commanding high prices. A simple sword, with only a sharp array talisman attached, would fetch a hundred low-grade spirit stones, while a broken instrument would cost fifty.

The price of talismans is almost the same as that in Qisha Market, and most of them are first-level talismans, including attack, defense, and auxiliary types.

Shi Chen learned more about the elixirs. The market sold some low-grade medicinal powders. Some elixirs made by independent cultivators hadn't yet reached the first level of potency and were filled with impurities. These were called medicinal powders by independent cultivators. The price was only one or two lower-grade spirit stones less than at the Qisha market.

The price of the pills was high, and Shi Chen was secretly happy.

When Shi Chen returned to the rented cave, he saw that Huang Qi and Huang Ziying had already returned and were waiting for him to come back and share the information they had obtained.

"I went to the auction organizer to learn about the auction situation. The auction is scheduled for five days later. There are about 300 auction items, including various types of attack, defense, and auxiliary magic weapons. The finale is a top-grade attack magic weapon. There are also elixirs, elixir formulas, talismans, formation plates, and puppets." Huang Qi said.

"So, the pills we brought can also be sent to the auction house for auction. Maybe we can earn more spirit stones than selling them retail outside." Shi Chen said thoughtfully.

"I went around to all the major stores and found that the prices of various elixirs are indeed much higher than those in our Qisha market. However, the prices of magic tools are a bit cheaper, and the prices of talismans are not much different. The prices of various spiritual medicines are about 20% lower than those in our market." Huang Ziying looked at Shi Chen and said.

"This is expected. Kimura Market is the market of Liehuo Sect. Liehuo Sect is famous for refining weapons. Their magic weapons and treasures are one or two levels cheaper than those in other places. Their pills and talismans are more expensive. Although Liehuo Sect has its own alchemists, the pills they refine are not enough for their own use. The pills in the markets and immortal cities within the jurisdiction of Liehuo Sect are more expensive." Shi Chen analyzed.

"What should we do in the next few days?" Huang Ziying asked.

Huang Qi glanced at Huang Ziying and said to Shi Chen, "Our elixir spirit stones were earned by Junior Brother Shi, so let Junior Brother Shi take care of the arrangements here."

"Let me share my thoughts. If there's anything wrong, please point it out. We brought 320 bottles of elixirs. According to the prices here in Kimura, our preliminary estimate is that they are worth more than 6,000 low-grade spirit stones. We'll keep the mid-grade and above elixirs and sell them at the auction house. Maybe the price will be much higher than the individual sales price at the market. Starting tomorrow, we'll rent a market stall to sell our low-grade elixirs at the prices of the Danlou in Kimura Market. If we haven't sold out the day before the auction, we'll sell them to the Danlou at a reduced price and reclaim the spirit stones to participate in the auction." Shi Chen expressed his thoughts.

"I think this is feasible. According to the market conditions here, our pills will definitely sell well." Huang Ziying said.

"Just as Junior Brother Shi suggested, I will put the mid-grade elixirs on the auction house tomorrow, and you and Junior Brother Shi will go to the market to sell the elixirs." Huang Qi said.

"Okay." Shi Chen took out five bottles of pills and handed them to Huang Qi, saying, "Among these five bottles, there's one top-grade Qi-Nourishing Pill, two mid-grade Qi-Nourishing Pills, and two mid-grade Soul-Nourishing Pills. Brother, put them up at the auction house tomorrow. I hope they fetch a good price."

"Junior Brother Shi can already refine top-grade elixirs?" Huang Ziying asked in surprise.

"I have been refining pills for the past six months and have become proficient in the art. I have indeed produced some high-quality pills, but not many, just over one bottle. I used up some of them myself and kept this bottle for auction. When you refine the high-quality Soul-Nourishing Pill, supply it to us first so that we can improve our cultivation as quickly as possible. I am really sorry that I did not share the high-quality pills with my senior brothers and sisters." Shi Chen said a little embarrassedly.

"Junior brother, don't blame yourself. Everything is fine now. We have enough resources for cultivation. It's much better than in the sect. In the sect, we don't have such abundant resources for cultivation. It's still thanks to your alchemy skills." Huang Qi comforted him.

The sale of elixirs at the big market was very popular. Within three days, all the elixirs they brought were sold out.

Shi Chen only sold pills for one day. For the remaining three days, he helped people refine pills, charging three times the price of Qisha Market. The high fee scared off some young cultivators, but there were still many cultivators in the middle and late stages of Qi training who lined up to ask Shi Chen to help them refine pills.
