Beauty helps me achieve immortality

The sun and the moon passed by the window, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Zhao Qing had already used up all the Soul-Devouring Grass in his hand, but there was still a lot of other ordinary herbs left.

A total of seventeen pills were made, all of which were made of half a pound of Soul-Devouring Grass. This was a huge improvement over the previous batch of thirteen pills.

What is even more gratifying is that with his hard work day and night, his alchemist level has successfully broken through to the initial intermediate level.

The vast amount of alchemy skills and knowledge is like sea water, and it takes several days just to digest and absorb it.

Early that morning, Zhao Qing glanced at the panel.

[Alchemist: Primary Grade (10/800)]

[Single Experience: 5+5]

[Qi Gathering Pill Mastery: Mastery and Integration (20/100)]

He planned to go to the Xueyi Tower in Xifang again to sell all the pills he had and buy the next batch of medicinal materials.

In addition, he also brought a marrow cleansing pill to give to fellow Taoist Le'an's child as a favor.

Zhao Qing could feel that Le An was a very easy-going person. Not to mention that he was also a talisman master. A talisman master who could make the golden light talisman must be at least at the seventh level of Qi Refining, right?

One can get a glimpse of his strength from the fact that he takes his children out, and cultivators with families generally pursue stability and will not cause any trouble.

If you can make friends with him, you will have a way to buy talismans in the future, and you won't be easily ripped off.

At 9 o'clock, in the elegant pavilion on the first floor of Xueyi Tower.

Zhao Qing met the young female cultivator named Wan'er again.

Things are different now. Now that he has entered the middle stage of Qi Refining, he can easily see the other party's level of cultivation.

Also at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

The female cultivator slowly brewed a cup of spiritual tea and placed it in front of him.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. You've made rapid progress, and I think you'll be able to establish your foundation soon. Wan'er would like to congratulate you in advance!"

Zhao Qing shook his head and dealt with the other party's polite words. The fourth level of Qi Refining was still far from the Foundation Establishment, so there was nothing to congratulate.

"Fellow Daoist Wan'er, I'm here to sell medicinal pills."

As he spoke, he took out all the Qi Gathering Pills from his arms.

Seventeen pills rolled gently on the wooden table. Each pill was full, of excellent quality, and as lustrous as unpolished jade.

Originally, Zhao Qing planned to buy a porcelain bottle to put it in, but it was not on his way, so he gave up and just put it in his arms and brought it over.

As for the wooden box... firstly, it's inconvenient to carry, and secondly, using someone else's own packaging does look too shabby.

As the pill was taken out, the small pavilion was instantly filled with the fragrance of the pill.

Wan'er's eyes were drawn to the pills. Without asking any questions, she simply put them away and said, "Seventeen Qi Gathering Pills, a total of thirty-four spirit stones. I'll show them to the alchemist later. If there's no problem, we'll make the deal."

Zhao Qing nodded slightly and let the other party leave the pavilion.

I thought that this Blood Robe Building was really different. The recycled pills needed to be inspected by a professional alchemist... It was unlike the Beifang where they would just quote a low price and pay if you wanted to sell it, and forget it if you didn't want to sell it.

Not long after, the other party came back with a storage bag.

"What do you call fellow Taoist?"

Zhao Qing was a little surprised and replied simply, "My last name is Zhao."

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, the alchemist from my Blood Robe Tower has just examined the items you brought. Although some have some flaws, they are not a problem for sale. The thirty-four spirit stones are all in this storage bag."

Zhao Qing frowned, instinctively feeling that something was wrong. Although the Blood Robe Building was wealthy, it was impossible for it to have a storage bag with it for every transaction, right?

Even though buying a storage bag only costs three or five spirit stones, he always feels that he is wasting his money. In addition, he doesn't have anything valuable on him, so he still doesn't have a storage bag.

For a long time before this, he had lived as a moonlighter. He earned three spirit stones a month, but those were all gone after a few casual spends. A single storage bag was worth as much as his entire fortune.

"Is this storage bag unnecessary?" He frowned and said, "One should be grateful for what one has received. One should be grateful for what one has received. He can afford a storage bag now, so there is no need to be greedy for such a bargain."

In fact, it was mainly because Xueyilou was a wealthy family, and Zhao Qing was afraid of getting into trouble if he did something inappropriate.

The female cultivator from the Blood Robe Tower smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, please don't misunderstand. This storage bag was given to you by me from the Blood Robe Tower. Just now, the alchemist saw the pills you brought, and many of them were worn to a certain extent. I felt quite sorry for them."

"Also, it is extremely difficult for my Blood Robe Building to sell pills of lower quality."

"The shopkeeper said that the Qi Gathering Pill is not worth much. I'll take it for two spirit stones. Even if it's damaged, there will be no discount. I'm afraid that fellow Daoist will bring some precious pills next time... If the business is damaged due to the quality problem, it will be a great pity."

The female cultivator explained with a smile, adding, "Besides, with your financial resources, you won't be short of a bag. I, the Blood Robe Building, am only doing this for the convenience of my own business."

I see...it seems to make sense.

Zhao Qing nodded slightly, took the storage bag without changing his expression, and checked the number of spirit stones in it.

Then he picked up the spiritual tea beside him and took a sip silently. It was a bit bitter and he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.

"Also, I still want half a pound of Soul Devouring Grass this time."

Wan'er nodded slightly and asked softly, "Half a pound of spiritual herbs, does fellow Daoist have any other needs?"

Zhao Qing was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head to indicate that it was not necessary.

This time he went out he planned to buy an alchemy furnace. Now that he had made some breakthroughs in alchemy, he could try to refine multiple pills in one furnace.

In this way, more spiritual energy will enter the furnace, and using a casserole will easily cause the furnace to explode.

But the things in Xueyilou were a bit expensive, so after careful consideration, he decided to pick one out from a street stall in Dongfang.

An incense stick later, Zhao Qing obtained the Soul Devouring Grass, put it in his storage bag, and paid ten Spirit Stones. He then drank the Spirit Tea in his hand and left the Blood Robe Tower.

Before leaving, he also paid special attention to the price of the marrow cleansing pill.

One marrow cleansing pill and six spirit stones.

It’s almost enough to use it to repay the favor owed to Fellow Daoist Le’an.

Looking down at the storage bag hidden in his sleeve, Zhao Qing smiled.

The Xueyi Building was probably afraid that they would get other elixirs and sell them to others in the future... The shop was located in Danxia City, and the elixir business should not be easy to do.

The world is full of goodwill, and the world is all good.

There was no such thing as the alchemist expressing regret again, and the shopkeeper asking for a discount. Zhao Qing knew it clearly in his heart, but he would not point it out.

After all, I got it for free, so why would I need a bicycle?

On the way, Zhao Qing kept thinking in his mind.

Although one Marrow Cleansing Pill could be sold for six Spiritual Stones, the cost was too high. A ten-ounce piece of tiger bone, when fully formed, would only yield five pills, which would translate to thirty Spiritual Stones. Excluding the Spiritual Stones spent on the tiger bone, the net profit was only twenty-two Spiritual Stones.

However, half a pound of Soul Devouring Grass, when used as medicine, would yield 26 Qi Gathering Pills, or 52 Spirit Stones. After deducting the cost, the net profit would be 40 Spirit Stones.

Zhao Qing sighed slightly. Although the Qi Gathering Pill cost less and earned more spirit stones, the workload was too heavy and consumed too much time and energy. In fact, the profit efficiency was not as good as the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

But he still decided to continue to improve his proficiency in the Qi Gathering Pill. Firstly, he already had some experience in refining it, and the success rate was much higher than that of the Marrow Cleansing Pill. Secondly, he was not afraid of failure, as he could completely digest it internally and use it as a tonic.
