Before I even reached the registration desk, I heard a loud bang from the other side.
Ye Feng stepped forward and saw a hole about a foot in size on the ground in front of the registration office, still emitting white smoke.
"This is... a fireball!"
Although one can unleash one or two minor spells at the third level of Qi Refining, it's worlds apart from the commotion this caused.
"Senior Brother Zhang's magical power is truly profound. If that fireball spell were to hit someone, they would probably be reduced to ashes instantly."
Ye Feng felt the temperature in the pit and sighed sincerely.
Zhang Yang rolled his eyes. Against early-stage Qi Refining cultivators, spells were basically useless; against late-stage cultivators, they were ineffective.
However, being on duty here means I can't focus on cultivation; I can only practice spells.
Over time, it has indeed improved considerably.
"You're back so soon, did you sell everything? How was it? How much did you make?"
Ye Feng smiled wryly upon hearing this, took out the spirit crystals from his pocket and placed them on the table. In front of Zhang Yang, he separated eight spirit crystals and put them back in his pocket, then pushed the remaining spirit stone and one spirit crystal over.
"If it weren't for you giving me two spirit crystals at a discount, I would have made a wasted trip."
Zhang Yang smiled but didn't speak. A price of 2.2 spirit stones was generally the price for buyers in need; if he tried to sell it like that, he'd be lucky to get 2 spirit stones.
"You did well, earning a spirit crystal on your first run. I'll give you more good stuff in the future. But tomorrow will be the third day, and you'll have to work from now on, or you'll be fined. Be careful."
Ye Feng's face froze upon hearing this. If someone missed more than three days of work a week, they could simply take seven days off... The result was a fine of 5 spirit crystals.
Four days of work, no penalty, but no reward either, just room and board provided.
Seven days of work, half a spirit stone, half a Qi Refining Pill.
That works out to about 1.3 spirit crystals per day per month.
Without the system, relying solely on trading... it's more worthwhile to chop down trees, carry water, and farm. You might even get lucky and find some rare herbs.
I have my own system, so working is out of the question, but daily sales tasks must be properly scheduled.
Furthermore, there must be a profit involved so that fines can be paid openly and without exposing the system's secrets.
Thinking of this, Ye Feng moved a little closer.
"Senior brother, do you want some Qi Refining Pills? I made a friend who's an alchemist at the market; I can get them for a discount."
"Oh? My alchemist friend!"
This time, Zhang Yang was truly astonished. As the saying goes, drawing talismans takes ten years of hard work, forging weapons can bankrupt a family, but three generations of accumulation can be used to refine elixirs.
Those who practice alchemy are all either very rich or very noble!
“I did him a big favor; he can give me this price directly.”
Ye Feng made an eight on his hand.
"What's the background of your friend?"
Forehead.....
Xu Hao had no special background; he was just a herb grower who had taken a few lessons in alchemy.
I tried experimenting with a branch of the medicinal herb and managed to make it.
If I reveal my name, Xu Hao might recognize me, so it's best to keep it a little mysterious.
"Don't ask me that. I'm still hoping to make a profit to pay off my debts!"
Zhang Yang glanced at Ye Feng sideways.
"Your purchase price isn't very competitive, is it? Besides, we don't even know who refined it. What if we get sick from eating it?"
Damn, what problems could Qi Refining Pills possibly cause? I'd believe you if you said Breakthrough Pills were problematic...
However, this wholesale price is really not very attractive... Xu Hao was only asking for eight spirit crystals at his stall.
"How about this, senior brother, you give me 7.5? Selling ten a day would still yield a profit of 2.5 spirit stones."
Six!
Holy crap....
Ye Feng felt a sharp pain in his teeth; that cut was far too brutal.
"Seven"
Six!
...
After several rounds of negotiation, no agreement was reached in the end. Since they weren't the manufacturer, they had to ask Xu Hao for the specific price.
Within sects, low-level pills like Qi Refining Pills and Bigu Pills are generally used by alchemy apprentices for practice.
It doesn't matter if the share is a little more or a little less each month.
With fewer Qi Refining Pills available, there will be fewer tasks at the Task Hall, but these apprentices can still take on other tasks.
If you only know how to refine Qi Pills, you can use merit points or spirit stones to exchange for materials, refine them, and sell them yourself.
However, the profits would be much less, unlike sect missions, which not only offer points but also spirit stone rewards.
These are all the original owner's memories.
After all, the original owner's parents had both been outer disciples, and they had explained some of the rules to him beforehand.
However, the original owner's spiritual root was too weak, so they couldn't send anyone in...
While thinking about how to negotiate a lower price with Xu Hao tomorrow, Ye Feng also considered what to do if he couldn't get a better price.
Before I knew it, I had arrived at the large, shared room.
The laborers, who had been busy all day, were washing themselves when they saw Ye Feng. Several of them were startled.
Although there are four or five thousand menial disciples, fewer than three hundred are at the third level of Qi Refining.
Many of those present had seen him before.
Of course... there are also those who are blind to reason.
Ye Feng sighed inwardly, looking at the blanket on the floor that had been stepped on several times, and felt a slight pain between his brows.
It's that frustrating feeling of being bitten by a dog but not being able to bite back...
If it were just a dog, I could just kill it. But now... I guess I'll just have to beat it up.
Who threw my things on the ground?
Ye Feng's voice wasn't loud, but the room still quieted down for a moment.
Several people couldn't help but look at the berth next to Ye Feng's.
A burly man lay on the bed, estimated to be 1.8 meters tall. He didn't appear obese, but his muscles were well-defined, and he likely weighed around 200 kilograms.
In the dormitory-style rooms on the first level of the Qi Refining stage, most of the occupants were young people around fifteen years old.
Ye Feng originally thought that at eighteen years old and 1.78 meters tall, he was already tall enough to dominate among these junior high school students.
I never expected to run into such a tough opponent.
Cultivators generally develop faster than ordinary people, but those with this physique are still rare.
"Hey, did you do this?"
Ye Feng kicked the headboard and asked without any politeness,
The burly man threw off his bedding and leaped to his feet, looking down at Ye Feng with a fierce glare.
"So what if it is?"
That's right!
With the bed frame more than a meter off the ground, Ye Feng simply lifted his leg and swept it horizontally.
The burly man reacted quickly, leaping up to dodge the attack.
"Damn it..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Feng delivered a straight punch to his stomach, knocking him into a corner.
Ye Feng had expected the punch to leave him in pain all night, but to his surprise, the big guy acted as if nothing had happened, got up, and charged at Ye Feng.
"Bang!"
Two fists facing each other,
Surprisingly, Ye Feng clutched his fist and took three steps back.
You should know that he didn't hold back with this punch; he unleashed all the power of a second-level Qi Refining cultivator, yet he was still forced back by a first-level Qi Refining cultivator!
"Body Refinement!"
