Manager Ma's words immediately cheered up Kong Ju. He had only asked Manager Ma for help in the morning, but he got the news in the evening.

"Manager Ma is really efficient. No wonder Master's wife trusts him so much."

Kong Ju smiled brightly, and called Manager Ma in. After making him a pot of hot tea, he asked, "Manager Ma, please tell me in detail."

"That man is called Su Mingcheng, and his grandfather was a second-rank medical officer. But neither he nor his father had any talent for alchemy, and their cultivation aptitude was not high either, so their family declined decades ago. Right now, he has reached the ninth level of Yanglun, and needs to prepare for a breakthrough to Shenglun level, so he urgently needs money to purchase the Blood Breaking Pill."

"I just had the idea of ​​selling off the spiritual objects in my home."

"Although his grandfather was a second-rank medical officer, he also made contributions in the imperial city. Among the items he left behind, there are third-rank elixirs and third-rank elixir recipes."

Manager Ma knew that Kong Ju was in a hurry, so he told him the news he had found out in detail without even having time to drink tea.

"That third-grade elixir is called the Fire Melting Pill. It is said to be of great benefit to cultivators who practice the Dao of Fire. After taking it, not only will your cultivation level be greatly improved, but when you perform fire-based Dao techniques in the future, you will also be blessed by the Fire Melting spirituality, increasing the power a bit."

"Fire-Melting Pill? That's not impossible." Kong Ju nodded and silently repeated the name of the Fire-Melting Pill.

As a third-grade elixir, the Fire Melting Pill's effect on improving one's cultivation level is naturally very obvious. In terms of efficacy alone, it is definitely several times stronger than the Great Mirror-Breaking Pill.

It will also enhance fire-related Taoist magic.

These two points alone make it worthy of the status of a third-grade elixir.

But it has too many limitations and is only helpful to monks who practice fire-based techniques.

If a cultivator who practices other related skills rashly takes the Fire Melting Pill, not only will it not benefit him, but he will suffer from it instead.

It is precisely because its audience is too small, unlike Xun Yu Pavilion's Shengguhuoren Pill, which can be taken by anyone, that its value is naturally lower.

Kong Ju was exactly in need of this kind of elixir that was hard to sell, and anyway, the old turtle in the Xuanwu furnace was not picky about food.

"As long as it's a third-grade elixir, it will be fine." Kong Ju grinned.

However, he did not draw a conclusion immediately and asked about the third-grade pill recipe.

Manager Ma showed a rare embarrassment on his face, and said in a low voice: "The third-grade pill recipe is called Fengchun Spiritual Medicine."

Kong Ju knew what kind of expression Ma Guanshi had, and he also had a strange look on his face: "Spring Elixir?"

Don’t be fooled by its serious name. In fact, this third-grade elixir is not an elixir related to spiritual practice.

It's not even of any help to the monks.

To be honest, its medicinal effects are actually somewhat similar to those of aphrodisiacs, but it is not a pure aphrodisiac.

It is well known that monks have difficulty in having children.

Especially after the wheel of ascension, the essence and energy are condensed and all return to the foundation of Taoism, making it even more difficult to produce the next generation.

For example, Huangfu Ying and Princess Qing, and Han Xi, all had only one child left.

It’s not that they don’t want to have children, but it’s difficult to have offspring.

This situation is even worse at the palm student level.

Some powerful people who are in charge of giving birth cannot give birth to children in their entire lives.

The monks of Wudong value inheritance, while the monks of Tianqi value offspring more.

For some powerful people, not having offspring is a top priority.

Just now, there is a elixir called Fengchun Lingyao.

Not only can it help boost your mood, but it can also allow your vital energy to flow through your limbs and bones, greatly increasing the probability of conceiving a child.

Kong Ju learned alchemy from Ge Xia, but he had a different understanding of the elixir of spring.

"If you can draw the essence from your Dao foundation into the meridians of your whole body, the spiritual power in your Dao foundation will naturally surge out."

"The spiritual energy was surging at that time, and it also had the effect of temporarily improving cultivation."

"It's just that the side effects are a bit serious. I'm afraid that my whole body will feel hot and I will be burning with desire."

"Ahem!" Thinking of this, Kong Jue coughed twice and asked Manager Ma in the same low voice, "How much do the Fire Melting Pill and the Spring Elixir cost?"

"Su Mingcheng wants 30,000 spirit crystals for the Fire Melting Pill."

"The recipe for the Fengchun elixir only costs twenty thousand."

The price of Xunyu Pavilion's Growing Bone and Flesh Pill is inflated. Even if it is worth more than the Fire Melting Pill, it is not worth 60,000.

In addition, the value of third-grade elixirs and third-grade elixir recipes should be equal.

According to the estimation in the cultivation world, a recipe for a third-grade elixir would cost at least 30,000 to 40,000 spirit crystals.

But for cultivators who are not in a hurry to have children, the recipe for the Fengchun Elixir is just a useless recipe.

Even worse than the Fire-Melting Pill.

So it is natural that the value is slightly lower.

Manager Ma looked at Kong Ju and asked tentatively, "Sir, do you want the Fire Melting Pill?"

In his opinion, Kong Ju was still young and it was not the time for her to think about reproducing offspring.

Even though the Fire Melting Pill was not compatible with his ice-attribute cultivation, at least he could use it to exchange for an ice-attribute spiritual object.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Who would he sell the Fengchun elixir to after refining it? He himself couldn't use it.

Kong Ju was stunned for a moment, then said righteously: "Of course it's cheap."

He took the elixir to feed the black turtle.

With the third-grade pill formula, you can continuously refine third-grade pills.

But a third-grade pill will be gone once it is fed.

Besides, this third-grade pill recipe is so cheap, it is 10,000 spirit crystals cheaper than the Fire Melting Pill.

If you miss this village, you will miss this store.

Manager Ma didn't know the reason, and when he heard Kong Ju's response, he immediately showed a strange look on his face.

But she soon put on a smile that all men could understand.

"Understood. I will contact Su Mingcheng right away and meet with you, young master."

"No need to be so troublesome. Manager Ma, you can just take the spirit crystals and buy them." Kong Ju couldn't take out 60,000 spirit crystals, so 20,000 was something he could easily take out.

He immediately handed the storage bag containing 20,000 spirit crystals to Manager Ma and said sincerely, "Don't you think I can trust you?"

Before leaving, Kong Ju talked about Zai Fu Qiaoqiao again.

Manager Ma patted his chest and promised that he would send her out of the imperial city safely.

"Then I'll have to trouble Manager Ma." Kong Ju politely escorted Manager Ma out of the courtyard.

The latter bowed and said goodbye with a smile on his face.

From beginning to end, Kong Ju never mentioned the matter of the 5,000 spirit crystals given to Manager Ma before.

Manager Ma didn't mention it either, and the two of them reached a tacit understanding.

Kong Ju understood clearly how convenient it was to have a local tyrant to help in the imperial city.

In the future, there will inevitably be troubles for Manager Ma. A mere 5,000 spirit crystals are nothing.

"Okay, I've found the third-grade pill formula. I still have so many spirit crystals left. I'm waiting to purchase the relevant spiritual medicines after getting the pill formula." Watching Manager Ma's back disappear into the night, Kong Ju, in a good mood, turned around and went back into the house.

Manager Ma also had some thoughts in his mind. After he walked out of the courtyard with the spirit crystal given to him by Kong Ju, he was thinking about other things.

He is also a Shenglun cultivator, and has no children yet.

He is old and his talent is limited, so it is difficult for him to make any further progress. His path of cultivation has come to an end in this life.

We can only place our hopes on the next generation.

"The Spring Elixir has been refined, so I'll just ask Master Kong for one."

Manager Ma thought silently.
