Chapter 708 Chapter 710 Bagua Gate
The common currencies used by ordinary people in the fairy world are copper coins, gold and silver, while the common currencies used by cultivators are spirit beads and spirit stones. However, because spirit beads and spirit stones are a kind of cultivation resources, their value is very high. Even cultivators are unwilling to exchange them easily, and in most cases they use gold and silver for transactions.
A bottle of ordinary vitality pills in this store is actually sold for ten spirit beads. This price is really high.
"Can your pills be paid for with gold?" Rong Xianxian asked.
"No, fairy. The elixirs here are all elixirs that form danyun. They are not ordinary elixirs. We do not accept gold or silver transactions." The waiter said with a smile.
"How do you calculate the price of an elixir that can produce elixir patterns?" Yuanqi Pills are low-level elixirs, and almost all of the Yuanqi Pills she refines can produce elixir patterns.
"Ten low-grade spirit stones!" the waiter said, pointing to a shelf next to him. The medicine bottles on that shelf were smaller than those on other shelves and looked more exquisite.
One low-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for ten spirit beads, which means the price is ten times higher.
"Then do you buy elixirs?" Rong Xianxian said as she took out two bottles of Yuanqi Pills from the sachet space. Compared with the prices of elixirs here, the pills she sold in Sibao Building were simply dirt cheap.
"We only accept elixirs that have formed elixir patterns." The waiter saw Rong Xianxian take out two bottles of elixirs and had no intention of checking them, so he said in a perfunctory tone.
For alchemists, whether the elixir they refine can form a elixir halo is a watershed, and whether it can form elixir patterns is a natural barrier. Strictly speaking, only elixirs that form elixir patterns can be called elixirs. It is precisely because there are too few alchemists who can refine elixirs that the price of the finished elixir is very expensive.
Rong Xianxian poured the pill she took out into the palm of her hand. The golden pattern on the fragrant pill was very dazzling.
"Magic Pills." The waiter's nonchalant expression suddenly changed. "Fairy, please come in! Please take a seat. I'll go call our shopkeeper right away!"
The waiter took Rong Xianxian to the private room inside and trotted to the second floor. After a while, a middle-aged man with a beard came down. He was the owner of the store and said his surname was Liu.
"Fairy, how many elixirs do you have that you plan to sell?" asked Shopkeeper Liu.
"I first need to see if the price your store offers is appropriate?" Rong Xianxian had a lot of elixirs in her hands, but most of them were prepared for herself, and there were not many that she could actually sell.
But as long as the price is right, she can always refine more elixirs. After all, the raw materials used in alchemy are cheap and easy to obtain.
"Fairy, to be honest, elixirs are generally in short supply, but due to differences in appearance and variety, some are sold faster and some are sold slower, so the commission rates in our store are also different. For the elixirs of these varieties on the first floor, we only take 10% of the difference between the buy and sell prices, while the elixirs on the second and third floors take 20 to 30%." Shopkeeper Liu said very sincerely.
Rong Xianxian had just looked at the varieties of elixirs on the first floor. Accompanied by Shopkeeper Liu, she looked at the elixirs and prices on the second and third floors. The prices of the elixirs on the second and third floors were higher. There were also some elixirs like Xuanbing Pills and Chiyan Pills which were only available to specific groups of people. These were not commonly used elixirs, and the inventory might be kept for a long time, so the store's commission rate would be higher.
Rong Xianxian took out fifty bottles of Yuanqi Pills, Detoxification Pills, Blood Replenishing Pills, and Holy Healing Pills, and sold them for one thousand eight hundred low-grade spirit stones. Both the buyer and the seller were very satisfied with the transaction and had a very pleasant conversation with each other.
"Manager Liu, I'd like to ask, how many places in Nanning City sell books on elixirs? Which one has more elixir recipes?" Rong Xianxian had a copy of "The Record of Primary-Level Elixirs" in her hand. Most of the elixirs she was currently refining were taken from the recipes in it. She also had a copy of "The Classic of Alchemy", which recorded many advanced elixir recipes, including the recipe for the Soul-Sucking Elixir. However, the medicinal materials needed for these advanced recipes often had to be a thousand years old. On the one hand, the medicinal materials were hard to find, and on the other hand, Rong Xianxian's alchemy skills were not good enough. She failed several times after starting the furnace.
When she was on Earth, she used the tenfold time difference in the pill box and secluded herself for nearly ten years before she broke through the bottleneck and refined the intermediate elixir "Chuyuan Dan". However, she only had this one intermediate elixir recipe in her hands. She now urgently needed to find an elixir book that recorded the intermediate elixir recipe to consolidate and improve her existing alchemy level and lay the foundation for refining high-level elixir recipes in the future.
"I'm sure Fairy knows that books on alchemy, talismans, and formations are usually treasured by major sects and strictly prohibited from being passed on. Most of the books on alchemy circulating on the market now are secretly copied versions, full of errors and difficult to distinguish the authenticity. Even the books on alchemy sold by Duobaolou, the largest business in our Nanning City, cannot be said to be completely error-free. Fairy, if you want to find any prescription, you might as well go to Bagua Gate. Bagua Gate will hold a founding ceremony in three days, and there will be a martial arts competition and making friends. If you win, you can enter the Bagua Gate's library and choose any book to borrow." Shopkeeper Liu said.
The Bagua Sect is an old second-tier force. Although it was defeated in a sect fight more than a hundred years ago and its momentum has been declining, it has been prosperous for so many years and its foundation is still there. So after the news of the Bagua Sect's founding ceremony was released, many independent cultivators, cultivators from small and medium-sized sects, and other surrounding forces came to hear the news. Some of them came to find out the truth, some wanted to enter the Bagua Sect's library to take a look, and some wanted to see if there was a chance to join the Bagua Sect.
After Rong Xianxian learned about the Baguamen Library from Manager Liu, she thought that she should stay here for a few days, participate in the competition and make friends, and strive for the opportunity to enter the library.
Rong Xianxian took the spirit stones earned from selling pills and went to the spirit medicine shop to buy many medicinal materials needed to refine the Chuyuan Pill, preparing to refine all of these medicinal materials into pills.
