After arriving in Linnan County, Lin Xiuyuan went to the Kuncang Sect's Hall in the city to inquire about the price of cultivation chambers. After making up his mind, he went to visit the various merchant guilds.
Although Lin Xiuyuan had spent all his previous profits on the Yin Spirit White Bird, leaving him with very few spirit stones, he still had a way to manage.
Now that he has successfully expelled the poison, the Yin Spirit White Bird in his hand is no longer a burden.
Excluding the few late-stage Yin Spirit White Birds, I have a total of 86, most of them are in the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and they are all at the fourth level.
This quantity is not of much help to begin with, let alone when the level is low.
For the Yin Spirit White Birds to effectively assist in killing enemies, at least several hundred of them would need to swarm in large numbers. Only then could they be less concerned about cultivation level and win by sheer numbers.
In short, if Lin Xiuyuan wants to put the Yin Spirit White Birds to use, he'll need to breed at least two hundred more...
This is clearly an impossible thing to do.
Continuing to cultivate the Yin Spirit White Bird is too resource-intensive. At his current level, it's not even as effective as throwing out two more top-tier talismans. Besides, he's not a Beast Tamer, and his combat power doesn't rely heavily on the help from spirit beasts.
Lin Xiuyuan understood this very well. He didn't place too much importance on improving his combat skills. At present, only improving his cultivation level was the most important thing.
Only when there are sufficient resources in the future, enough to satisfy one's own cultivation needs and even have surplus, should one consider cultivating external objects to enhance one's combat abilities.
So Lin Xiuyuan directly purchased a batch of spirit beast bags and put more than seventy Yin Spirit White Birds into them evenly, according to their gender, so that each spirit beast bag contained exactly eleven or twelve birds.
The remaining birds were the nearly ten "breeding birds" that Lin Xiuyuan carefully selected and kept. In addition, there were a few birds that had already laid eggs and were not of high value, so they were also kept and will be bred together when there is time in the future.
The remaining Yin Spirit White Birds have excellent aptitude and bloodline. If there is time in the future, I plan to nurture them to the Foundation Establishment stage before they lay eggs.
The Yinling White Bird is, after all, ranked on the list of extraordinary demons. Although at its current level, the Yinling White Bird's main effect is only to expel the poison of pills, and its value is slightly lower than that of other spirit beasts on the list of extraordinary demons, it is not much lower.
Because every cultivator has some form of elixir poisoning, though it's not usually severe. After all, in the entire cultivation world, not everyone has exceptional talent; ordinary and unremarkable spiritual roots definitely make up the vast majority—that's a given.
However, 99% of people don't earn spirit stones as quickly as Lin Xiuyuan, and therefore don't have access to a large amount of resources to aid their cultivation. As a result, their accumulation of pill poison is not as terrifying as Lin Xiuyuan's.
In fact, most cultivators subconsciously moderate their use of medicinal resources to suppress pill poisoning. This is because pill poisoning is relatively easy to suppress when it has accumulated to a shallow level.
During daily practice, spiritual energy flows into the body and circulates through all the meridians, gradually eliminating toxins and impurities.
Only someone like Lin Xiuyuan, who used a large amount of elixirs for cultivation, has accumulated too much elixir poisoning, making it a stubborn ailment that ordinary methods simply cannot cure.
This shows how large the market is, and the value certainly won't be low. However, it's likely that most people wouldn't be able to afford it...
The primary target clients are still aristocratic families and sects, who are happy to spend large sums of money. For an aristocratic family or sect, the foundation and inheritance are not in the present generation, but in the accumulation of generations.
Therefore, how could the spirit beasts listed on the list of strange demons let them go?
Through generations of cultivation, the Yin Spirit White Bird can eventually be cultivated to a certain scale, forming a means that can pose a strong threat to the Foundation Establishment stage or even the Purple Mansion stage.
Furthermore, it also has the effect of dispelling poison, which means that the disciples can unleash their full potential and directly utilize a large amount of resources for cultivation, and then use the Yin Spirit White Bird to dispel the poison, thus quickly reaching the upper realm.
However, these spirit white birds have already recognized their masters, so they can only be bought back to breed the next generation to lay eggs, or the powerful divine sense of a Foundation Establishment cultivator can be used to slowly wear away the restrictions and marks over a long period of time. Therefore, their value is not as high as imagined.
Lin Xiuyuan sold all seven spirit beast bags after visiting several large merchant guilds, earning a total of nearly 600,000 spirit stones!
We've recouped almost half of our investment.
If it were put at an auction, the price would probably be even higher.
However, Lin Xiuyuan did not have the patience to wait and felt a sense of urgency.
After selling all the Yin Spirit White Birds, Lin Xiuyuan disguised himself again and traveled to various merchant guilds, buying up rare and precious materials.
Spending money is like water flowing away; every day, 600,000 spirit stones are gone, and a large portion of them are gone.
After all, natural treasures that can provide pure spiritual energy, even if they are only of low grade, are still rare and very valuable.
Now that Lin Xiuyuan has resolved the pill poisoning, he can steadily advance to the Foundation Establishment stage without resorting to ordinary pill resources for cultivation.
Unless it's a high-quality elixir—which is of very high quality, containing over 95% pure spiritual energy with few impurities—such elixir is generally controlled by sects and aristocratic families, who keep most of the distribution channels for their own use.
Even if there were wild alchemists capable of refining high-grade cultivation pills, they would probably be immediately bought up by their merchant guilds and presented to the main sect.
Therefore, low-grade high-quality pills are rarely found on the market. Lin Xiuyuan visited several shops and merchants' associations and only occasionally came across one or two bottles.
Basically, they only appear more frequently at certain auctions, and are deliberately released by both independent cultivators and alchemists, as well as by sects and families, in order to earn more profits.
