Last time, Song Zizhan told him that there was a sect of immortal cultivators stationed in the Chongyun Mountains outside Hongshi City. Although it was only a small sect, it was also a strong immortal cultivation force with a foundation-building master in charge.

The most important thing is that outside the sect, there is a market for cultivators, which is the largest market for cultivators among the nearby prefectures.

Song Zizhan had bought some materials for making talismans there before.

After Yan Zhe broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, he actually wanted to go and have a look, but he felt a little unsafe, so he practiced magic hard for a while.

Now I feel a little more confident, so I'm going to go for a walk today.

He doesn't really care about materials, resources and the like. His only goal is to obtain advanced spells and secret books.

Put on the "Thousand Magic Faces" mask magic weapon and go to the market with Song Zizhan.

The first time you enter the market, you need to pay a thumb-sized piece of broken spirit stone or two hundred taels of gold to obtain an identity badge.

A simple magic tool in the shape of a ring.

Entering the market, it is actually just a block with shops on both sides of the street and people setting up stalls on the roadside. It is no different from the secular world.

There were no cultivators flying around, but instead, many people were seen spitting at each other while bargaining for prices, which was completely different from the demeanor of cultivators in the eyes of ordinary mortals.

After all, there is not much difference between monks and mortals, except that they have a little bit of power.

Before building the foundation, cultivators also need to eat. The cycle of life and death is inevitable.

Yan Zhe first followed Song Zizhan to buy some talisman paper and went to a shop called "Tianbao Pavilion". There were many things sold there, including finished magic tools, materials, pills, etc.

Pills are the most valuable and are only sold at the top level.

The bottom layer sells various basic materials.

Talisman paper is a semi-finished product and also a kind of basic material.

The owner of Tianbao Pavilion is none other than the Lihuo Sect behind the market. The materials here are generally more expensive than those sold on the street stalls outside, but the quality is guaranteed, so there is no need to worry about inferior products being sold as good ones.

Yan Zhe went up to the top floor to take a look. Immediately, a beautiful female cultivator came up to him and asked with a smile, "What kind of elixir do you need, fellow Daoist? The elixirs in our Tianbao Pavilion are all made by Master Yao Li, and their quality is the highest."

After a quick glance, there were only a few kinds of elixirs whose spiritual energy was sealed by the magic circle.

"How much is the Qi-nourishing Pill?" Yan Zhe asked casually.

The female cultivator smiled and said a number that shocked Yan Zhe.

"One bottle is 200 full spirit stones." Seeing Yan Zhe's expression change, she added, "One bottle contains 10 pills. If you don't need much, you can just buy one or a few. One pill costs 22 full spirit stones."

The average price of a set of materials for refining a Qi-nourishing Pill in the Great Xia Beast Taming Realm is about 35,000 Alliance Coins, which is equivalent to 35 spirit crystals. If the success rate of refining the Pill is 10%, 350 spirit crystals will be required. Compared with the spirit stones obtained from Song Zizhan before, the spiritual energy concentration of a full spirit stone is roughly equivalent to 50 spirit crystals.

In other words, the cost of refining a furnace of pills is 7 spirit stones, and a furnace can produce 3 or 4 pills, so the cost of a bottle of 10 pills is 21 spirit stones.

Ten times the selling price.

However, this is all calculated based on the highest cost. In fact, a skilled alchemist can achieve a success rate of 40% to 50% and produce more pills in one furnace.

So the price should actually be dozens of times the cost.

The female cultivator continued, "Fellow Daoist, a single Qi-nourishing Pill can save you a long period of cultivation and is extremely helpful in achieving a breakthrough. The price is also very reasonable. You should know that the spiritual energy in the cultivation world is currently depleted. Cultivating a single spiritual herb to maturity requires a great deal of effort and is very expensive. This price is a great bargain."

Yan Zhe sighed upon hearing this and shook his head, saying, "The price is fine, but unfortunately I'm short of money. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, fellow Daoist."

"It's okay, fellow Daoist, your Qi is full and your spiritual energy is abundant. You will definitely achieve something in the future." The female cultivator still said with a smile.

Yan Zhe went downstairs and took Song Zizhan to another place to continue walking around.

He came here with two purposes, one was to obtain high-level spells, and the second was to get a magic medicine cauldron.

The purpose of training Tang Guoer is to let her refine pills for him. In order to reduce the waste of materials, it is necessary to prepare a medicine cauldron for her.

I was shopping just now and found that compared to the expensive prices of elixirs, the prices of magic tools are much lower, and can even be said to be dirt cheap.

The world of cultivating immortals declined, and the size of many sects shrank to less than one-tenth or even less than one percent of their original size.

A large number of magical instruments were left behind.

Pills are consumables, but magical weapons are not easy to destroy.

If a magic weapon is covered in dust, you only need to use spiritual power to clean it and it will be revitalized. There is no need to worry about it being damaged if left for a long time.

At least, most magical instruments can be kept for thousands or tens of thousands of years without any problem.

Especially some high-level magical weapons, which are completely useless. If you use them even a little, all your spiritual energy will be drained away, and you will be waiting to be retaliated by your enemies and be at the mercy of others.

Like high-level spells, they are all very unpopular.

Yan Zhe also saw some magical instruments in Tianbao Pavilion. The prices were really not expensive, but he did not have any spirit stones.

According to his idea, he would use elixirs to exchange for magic tools and skip the exchange of spirit stones, which would be less risky.

He searched slowly and saw some in the morning, but was not very satisfied. He continued in the afternoon. Finally, he saw a seller at a street stall and became interested.

[Seeking 3 body-building pills and 3 magical instruments of your choice]

Yan Zhe could feel that the stall owner had impressive martial arts skills and also had good spiritual power.

He stepped forward, clasped his fists, and asked, "Fellow Daoist, could you please take a look at what magical instruments these are?"

"Can."

When you are out, don't show off your wealth.

There were only three magical instruments on the stall. Although the value of the magical instruments was not high now, if there were a large number of them, they would be a fortune that would be attractive enough to attract people.

He handed over a jade slip and said, "Here are the introductions to all the magical instruments. If you like any of them, I can take them out and show you the real thing. However, let me make it clear first: although I said you can exchange them for three magical instruments, the quality of the elixir you can exchange for will also vary depending on the quality of the instrument."

"Of course." Yan Zhe said with a smile.

He took the jade slip and glanced at it briefly, but found nothing wrong. He then delved into it, and introductions to various magical instruments emerged in his mind.

The lowest quality of magical instruments is low-grade. In terms of combat effectiveness, they are generally suitable for cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining.

Going up, there are mid-grade magical instruments, suitable for cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining and the early stage of Foundation Establishment;

Top-grade and ultimate-grade magical instruments are suitable for cultivators in the middle and late stages of foundation building respectively.

When spiritual energy is abundant, some Jindan masters also use top-grade magic tools.

Above the magic tools are the magic treasures.

Inferior-grade magic weapons are used by cultivators in the Golden Core Stage; mid-grade magic weapons are used by cultivators in the Nascent Soul Stage; and high-grade magic weapons are used by cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage and above.

Among the magical instruments in the jade slip, there was surprisingly a low-grade magical weapon! !
