Cultivation World 13 New Store Opening
There is a new alchemy shop at the foot of the mountain, which sells high-quality yellow-grade elixirs at a favorable price. If you bring your own spiritual plants, it will be even cheaper!
With Qingwen's unremitting publicity, everyone in Hengwu Pavilion, from the Pavilion Master to the gatekeeper, finally knew the news.
Ling Xiyuan had just reported the matter to the Pavilion Master when he saw his junior fellow apprentice who was preparing to break through to the foundation-building stage coming to find him.
"Brother Ling..." This junior fellow, clutching his pipa, looked sheepish. "I heard there's a new alchemy shop down the mountain. I wonder if they have any foundation-building pills?"
Ling Xiyuan was stunned: "There should be."
"That's good." The junior brother's eyes were filled with joy as he said, "I've been saving spirit stones for a long time, and I was thinking of buying a medium-grade or higher foundation-building pill so that I can be more confident when building my foundation."
Without waiting for Ling Xiyuan to say anything, he excitedly went down the mountain.
Just as the junior brother left, another senior brother came over holding a bixiao. "Junior brother Xiyuan, I heard you opened an alchemy shop at the foot of the mountain?"
Ling Xiyuan: "It's not me, it's..."
"Your Taoist partner, I know." The senior brother leaned closer and whispered, "We are your fellow disciples after all. Can you offer us a better deal?"
Ling Xiyuan: "He said that those who come with a disciple token can get a 20% discount."
The senior brother was very satisfied. He rummaged through his Qiankun bag twice and found the disciple token that he had not used since he left. He also left happily.
Ling Xiyuan: “…”
Why do people come to him so freely?
He and Xie Yunsui had only known each other's feelings for two or three days, so why did it feel like everyone in the sect knew about it?
A moment later, Zhao Ying, wearing a fireproof suit, came over to him. "Brother Ling, I heard that Brother Xie will be living permanently at the foot of the mountain. Can I go down there often to learn alchemy from him?"
Ling Xiyuan: "Should be possible? But I see he's a bit busy, you might have to ask him in person if he has time."
Zhao Ying smiled and said, "I'd better ask Senior Brother first. If I go to see him often, it would be bad if you misunderstood me."
Ling Xiyuan: “…”
How much has Qingwen revealed to the sect these past few days?!
Xie Yunsui renovated several rooms in the backyard. One was used as an alchemy room, one as a weapon refining room, and the remaining largest room facing the sun was the master bedroom.
In the past few days, many people came down the mountain to Hengwu Pavilion to buy elixirs. He sat behind the counter during the day and studied the refining method given by Xie Yan.
The owner of the grocery store heard that a new alchemy shop had opened here, so he came over to take a look. He found that the owner was a cultivator whose cultivation level was impossible to tell. He walked around, bought two high-quality foundation-building pills, and left without saying a word.
The owner of the Da Jin Qi Fang shop next door brought over a dim sum bun and said that due to business needs, the shop would be a bit noisy and hoped that he would be more tolerant.
Xie Yunsui smiled and said, "No problem, I can also make some tools."
The shop owner and instrument master, Ni Dajin, widened his eyes and asked, "You are also an instrument master?"
Xie Yunsui smiled faintly and nodded.
Ni Dajin walked around the shop and asked, "You don't have even one or two items here?"
Xie Yunsui: "I've just started learning, so I can't do much at the moment."
Ni Dajin laughed heartily. "Don't underestimate the number of magical instruments I can make, but when it comes to repairing them, I'm very proficient. There's no magical instrument below the Xuan level that I can't repair! If you have any questions, just ask me!"
Below the Xuan-level magic weapon, isn't it just the Huang-level?
Xie Yunsui replied, "Okay, thank you for your guidance, Senior Ni."
Ni Dajin waved his hand: "It's not about teaching. I have poor aptitude and my cultivation in this life is only at the initial stage of foundation building. Practice makes perfect. You can refine pills and tools, so you must be extraordinary. You will achieve great things in the future. I'm afraid it won't be long before I ask you to teach me, hahaha."
Ni Dajin looked to be about thirty or forty years old, with a muscular body. He didn't look like an ethereal monk at all, but he had a cheerful and talkative personality.
A mortal lady passed by and saw that he was not busy, so she asked him to repair the broken hoe at home. Without saying a word, he took the thing back to the workshop to repair it.
When Ling Xiyuan came back, he saw Xie Yunsui sitting behind the counter with his head propped up, looking dazed.
"Are you doing business today?" Ling Xiyuan waved his hand in front of him.
Xie Yunsui grabbed his hand and put it against his face: "Why did you go back for several days? You are so cruel and left me here alone."
It was obvious that the two of them had just confirmed their identity as Taoist partners, and they were in love with each other and were very passionate.
Ling Xiyuan's cheeks flushed: "The Pavilion Master gave me a test on my homework, and many of my brothers and sisters came to me and asked me to help buy some pills."
In their sect, there are very few people who like to go out for a walk. Most of them stay in their own rooms for a year or half a year.
They knew that a new alchemy shop had opened at the foot of the mountain, but they didn't want to go out, so they paid Ling Xiyuan to do the purchasing for them.
Xie Yunsui took the list he held out and raised an eyebrow: "Is your sect so short of elixirs?"
This row of pills looks like it hasn’t been eaten in eight hundred years.
Ling Xiyuan coughed lightly: "No one has ever used a good pill. It's rare to see a high-grade pill for sale. I have to try it to see the difference between it and the low-grade pills."
Even if one does not have much demand for elixirs, upon hearing that there are high-quality elixirs at a discount, one will still spend money to buy a Zhenyuan Pill to see what benefits it can bring in cultivation.
"By the way, Junior Sister Xiaoying knows you are here, and she wanted to ask you to teach her how to make pills when you are free." Ling Xiyuan said.
"I do have time, but doesn't she want to practice?"
"She said that while we're still young, we should hone our skills and save up some spirit stones so we can buy some handy magical tools in the future."
"It seems like everyone in your sect is short of money." Xie Yunsui saw that no one was around and came out from behind the counter. "Senior Ni from next door sent some dim sum. They smell so good. I'll go make some tea."
Ling Xiyuan followed behind him and explained, "Music cultivators are not good at competitions. They are always bullied when they go out. People in our sect are basically unwilling to go out and run."
Unless there are some large-scale activities that require going out, the rest of the time they practice in the sect. Naturally, they cannot eliminate evil spirits, fight monsters, or destroy demonic cultivators.
By the way, there are no more ways to make money.
Xie Yunsui listened attentively. Doesn't that mean most of the people in their sect are quite idle?
The next day.
Qi Yangqiu came to Chardin Square again, but it was still closed.
He stared at the dark patterns on the plaque for half an hour, and finally heard the owner's footsteps behind the door.
He turned the 筚篠 twice in his hand before going up the stairs.
"Your daily routine here is no different from that of ordinary people."
Xie Yunsui wasn't surprised to see him. He put up a sign saying he was open for business and asked, "What do you want to buy?"
"One bottle of Zhenyuan Pill." Qi Yangqiu put down the spirit stone.
Ling Xiyuan came out from behind: "Senior Brother Qi?"
Qi Yangqiu leaned against the counter and asked, "You're here? Are you planning to live permanently at the foot of the mountain in the future?"
Although Ling Xiyuan was a little shy, he looked at Xie Yunsui and nodded seriously: "Well, it's not bad to practice here."
Qi Yangqiu sensed that the concentration of spiritual energy inside and outside the store was different. The concentration inside the store seemed to be much higher, which was more convenient than practicing in the mountains. He didn't know how many spiritual gathering formations were set up, so he didn't say anything more.
Xie Yunsui placed a bottle of medicine on the table and said, "No more Zhen Yuan Dan will be available before the end of this month."
"What?" Qi Yangqiu didn't expect such bad news: "Even if I have money, I can't buy it?"
Did I buy too much at once? Then why not refine more Zhen Yuan Pills?
Xie Yunsui explained, "Many disciples of Hengwu Pavilion have placed orders for Zhenyuan Pills. Now they're all sold out, and I don't have many spiritual plants. I'm afraid I won't be able to provide Zhenyuan Pills in the short term."
Qi Yangqiu felt depressed.
He used to think that his slow cultivation was due to his lack of talent, until a few days ago when he suddenly bought two top-grade Zhenyuan Pills. Only then did he realize that the low-grade and inferior ones he had eaten before were indeed worthy of their grade.
After taking only two high-grade pills, his cultivation level, which had been stuck for half a year, improved a lot. So he came to the pill shop again before dawn, wanting to buy some more, hoping that he could improve his cultivation level to a higher level within a few days.
But now the store owner told him that the Zhenyuan Pills were out of stock?
He held the Zhenyuan Pill in his hand and tasted the top-grade pill. How could he go back to using the low-grade pill?
"Spiritual plants...what spiritual plants are you still missing? Tell me and I'll buy them for you from somewhere else." Qi Yangqiu suggested gritting his teeth.
Ling Xiyuan was shocked. Senior Brother Qi never liked to go out. Even for this trip to the Dan Sheng Secret Realm, the Pavilion Master originally wanted him to lead the team, but Senior Brother Qi took the initiative to refuse, so it was his turn.
"Brother Qi, there's no need to go to all that trouble. This won't take more than two or three months." Ling Xiyuan said, "Yun Sui has planted some spiritual plants in the yard. We'll be able to harvest them in about two or three months."
Xie Yunsui nodded.
Qi Yangqiu breathed a sigh of relief. It was only two or three months, that was enough. The shop owner looked so serious, he thought it would take a year or two.
Wait, didn’t you say you just bought a shop?
How many days will it take for the spiritual plant to be planted?
Will it mature in two or three months?
Is it so convenient to grow spiritual plants?
Before Zhao Ying, an alchemist, emerged from Hengwu Pavilion, no one in the entire Hengwu Pavilion had any experience in the cultivation and refining of spiritual plants. They all believed that the spiritual plants used for alchemy had to be like those in the Alchemy Saint Secret Realm, and that it would take about ten years to cultivate one kind.
As for Zhao Ying, she focused more on alchemy. Her requirement for spiritual plants was that they could still be used. She didn't care whether they had abundant spiritual energy or not. A little bit of remaining spiritual energy could help her improve her alchemy proficiency.
Therefore, after using up all the spiritual plants collected from the secret realm, most of them were inferior spiritual plants bought from grocery stores. They made medicine based on what spiritual plants were available. They had never considered growing them themselves, and their fellow disciples in the pavilion were even less aware of it.
Qi Yangqiu's mind became active, "Can I grow this spiritual plant?"
Xie Yunsui was waiting for him to ask this question, and the seeds of several spiritual plants were ready.
"Place a spirit gathering formation next to the spiritual plants, and they will absorb spiritual energy on their own. Be careful, these two spiritual plants are quite overbearing, so plant them farther away..."
Xie Yunsui taught him how to plant, and Ling Xiyuan was listening beside him. He had already decided to make use of the open space in front of the small house he was assigned on the mountain.
Qi Yangqiu is a foundation-building cultivator after all. He can remember the key points of planting after listening to it once. However, there is one problem: he doesn't know how to set up a spirit gathering array.
I heard that disciples from large sects would set up spirit gathering formations during their training to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy.
However, their Pavilion Master was not from a large sect, but learned a unique method, which was to just hold two spirit stones in his hands when practicing. Everyone in the sect also learned this unique method, which was convenient.
Xie Yunsui: "..."
How did Hengwu Pavilion become a second-rate sect?
He sighed and said, "How about I go up the mountain tomorrow and set up the formation for you?"
Qi Yangqiu's eyes lit up: "Can you put one up in my bedroom too? I'll pay extra!"
Xie Yunsui: "..."
