Qi Yu transmigrated into a trashy cultivation novel, becoming a cannon fodder supporting female character. She was also bound to a 'Saintly System' that not only demanded she cultivate and ...
Feixing Treasure Pavilion is run by Feixing Sect, one of the two major sects in the cultivation world. Feixing Sect mainly cultivates the Dao of Weapons and the Dao of Alchemy. Many of the pills and magical artifacts refined by its disciples are sold at Feixing Treasure Pavilion.
She still had a few bottles of healing potions given to her by the system. Since she had the aura of a saint, she didn't really need them. She might as well sell them to get some money and end her state of "utter poverty".
Entering the Flying Star Treasure Pavilion, there were few people inside. Qi Yu first looked around, but couldn't understand the strangely shaped magical artifacts, so he walked towards the counter.
A man in black was lounging lazily in a rocking chair behind the counter. Qi Yu walked over, but the man didn't react.
Qi Yu took out a bottle of wound medicine. "Do you buy medicine here?"
The man in black took the wound medicine, looked at her blue clothes, and asked, "Are you a disciple of the Spirit Academy?"
Qi Yu nodded.
The man in black rummaged through the counter and found a small round plate.
He uncorked the medicine bottle and took some powder, placing it on the disc.
"Please wait a moment. This magical artifact can determine the grade of the elixir, and the price will be determined according to the grade."
"So high-end?" Qi Yu exclaimed in surprise.
The man in black smirked, "Of course, look who owns this Treasure Pavilion."
He then asked, "I haven't seen you before. Are you a new disciple of the Spirit Academy this year?"
"yes."
"Did you refine this pill?"
Qi Yu smiled and said, "That's not it."
Although she wanted to cultivate alchemy, she had only just begun to guide Qi into her body and had not yet formally embarked on the path of alchemy.
Suddenly, a red light appeared on the small disc, and the man in black rubbed his eyes in shock to see the light.
"Rank 3? You're actually selling rank 3 pills?"
Qi Yu asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with a third-grade pill?"
The man in black pointed a trembling finger at the small disc, "Third rank, third rank!"
"This small disc can emit nine colors of light: white, black, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, corresponding to the first to ninth grades of pills. Nowadays, there are only a handful of alchemists who can refine third-grade pills. You actually sold it for money so easily?!"
Qi Yu asked, "Oh, how much can it sell for?"
The man in black, seeing Qi Yu's complete lack of understanding, flew into a rage, yelling, "You, you, you! Why did you sell it?!"
Qi Yu honestly replied, "Because I'm short of money."
The man in black slapped his forehead, speechless, and said, "Alright, a third-grade pill, even if it's just a wound-healing medicine, would cost about one or two high-grade spirit stones on the market. Converted to mid-grade spirit stones, that's one hundred to two hundred mid-grade spirit stones. So let's compromise and give you one hundred and fifty mid-grade spirit stones."
High-grade spirit stones are rarely found in the market due to the difficulty of mining them, and even mid-grade spirit stones are not particularly common.
Qi Yu calculated that one mid-grade spirit stone is equal to one hundred low-grade spirit stones, so that would be fifteen thousand low-grade spirit stones.
We've struck it rich!
She readily agreed!
The man in black took a storage bag from the counter and was about to hand it to Qi Yu when a girl's voice suddenly rang out.
"Qi Yu, where did you get this elixir?"
Qi Yu turned her head and saw Xu Shen Shen and her burly bodyguard.
They all looked at Qi Yu as if he were a thief.
Xu Shensheng stepped forward and said, "Junior Sister Qi, tell me the truth, did you steal Master Jin's pills? Otherwise, how could a new disciple like you, who had no foundation before, have obtained third-grade pills?"
The burly disciple said directly, "It's one thing to be a useless person with only five spiritual roots, but the dean kindly went easy on you and let you enter the Spiritual Academy to cultivate and study. Yet you dared to become a thief and steal pills to resell!"
"If Junior Sister Shen Shen hadn't discovered it, the stolen money would probably already be in your pocket!"
The man in black glanced at Xu Shengsheng, then at Qi Yu, and withdrew the storage bag from his hand.
"It is indeed suspicious..."
Seeing the money that was almost in his hands slip away, Qi Yu was furious and said, "What evidence do you have to prove that I stole it? This pill was already on me before I entered the Spirit Academy. I even gave it to Senior Brother Mu Luo to treat his wounds. He can testify for me."
Upon hearing the words "Senior Brother Mu Luo," a fierce glint flashed in Xu Shen's eyes, which she quickly concealed.
“Junior Sister’s one-sided statement is not enough. Let’s go back to the Spirit Academy and ask Master Jin. We’ll know for sure whether it was made by Master Jin.”
“It’s not that I don’t trust you, junior sister, but there are many suspicious points in this matter, and it involves something as important as a third-grade pill. I hope you can understand.” She sighed slightly. “I know you love alchemy, and today you were asked to leave the alchemy room by Master Jin. You were inevitably angry and embarrassed and made a big mistake. As long as you repent in time, I can give you a chance to pretend you don’t know and cover up the theft for you.”
The burly disciple disagreed, saying, "Junior Sister Shen Shen, why are you always so considerate of others? I think she stole it. She's just a petty thief; why should you be so concerned about her?"
They easily convicted her in their conversation. Qi Yu sneered, "If I remember correctly, Commander Jin is now a fifth-grade alchemist. How could a fifth-grade alchemist refine a third-grade pill? Even when you're trying to smear someone, you should at least follow some basic principles."
The man in black, resting his chin on his hand, said, "Master Jin of the Martial City Spiritual Academy seems to be a fifth-grade alchemist. Where did you get these third-grade pills?"
"This was a gift from a friend of mine, who learned that I wanted to cultivate immortality." Let's just let the system be a friend for now.
The burly disciple sneered, "A friend who can casually offer a third-grade pill without a second thought? That's nonsense!"
Xu Shengsheng covered her mouth and laughed, "Junior sister, even if you're in a panic and want to find an excuse, you shouldn't lie like this."
