Eryi spent two spirit beads to buy five candied haws and walked back while chewing them.
The candied haws here are made from a sweet and sour fruit that bursts, not hawthorn. They're coated in a thin layer of sugar and lack any spiritual flavor, just the fruity aroma.
She had just come out of the Treasure Pavilion and had already learned something about the elixirs that could increase the spiritual power of cultivators.
Pills capable of providing a short-term boost in spiritual power, or even realm enhancement, exist in the Pure Spirit Realm. However, these are not conventional elixirs. Few alchemists can refine them, few recipes exist, and even fewer people are willing to buy them.
If you need it, you can only order it from an alchemist who has the recipe, or get it at an auction, and the results may vary.
It wasn't just elixirs that could provide amplification, but also special talismans and techniques. Some techniques not only increased spiritual power, but even directly raised one's cultivation realm in a short period of time. However, without exception, these all came with side effects, both major and minor.
In minor cases, one will be unable to mobilize spiritual energy for several days and will fall into weakness. In serious cases, the dantian will be shattered, and one will be unable to make any further progress in cultivation for the rest of their life.
Is there a method in the world of cultivation that has no side effects but can still increase spiritual power?
Yes, there is the method of magic cultivation.
The shopkeeper of the Baibao Pavilion branch was not idle while waiting in the treatment station. This time he came, not only to establish a cooperative relationship with the female cultivator who could refine high-grade marrow cleansing pills, but also to undertake an inspection mission.
He took a tour around the Three Thousand Worlds.
Except for the sixth and seventh floors, which are inaccessible, I visited the other five floors.
But there are only decorations on the first and second floors, and there is nothing on the third, fourth and fifth floors. It seems as if the owner here has not yet decided what to put in.
This is probably a new magic weapon, Shopkeeper Chen thought.
The Healing Inn was a shop run by a medical practitioner, but judging by the number of employees, it was clear that the owner had only just started the business. The equipment was complete, but as for the items for sale...
"All the medical methods engraved on your wall can be put into this small magic tool. Anyone can use it, including mortals?" he asked the store employees.
"Reply Senior, yes."
Shopkeeper Chen rubbed his chin, somewhat unconvinced. If these descriptions were true, this shop would surely gain a significant foothold in the Qingling Realm's business community in a short period of time. However, he had only just heard of the reputation of this healing inn.
"How long have you been open?"
"Replying to Senior, it has been over a month."
That's understandable.
Before long, the Qi-refining employee in the store suddenly perked up and came out to greet us.
Shopkeeper Chen looked outside the door and saw a woman in white, whose cultivation level was unknown, walking in, holding a half-eaten candied haws.
"Boss, there is a senior who has established his foundation waiting for you inside. It seems that he has something important to discuss."
"A patient?"
"no."
The female cultivator in white did not reply immediately, but took out three candied haws from her storage bag: "This is delicious, share it among you." Then she turned her gaze into the house.
Shopkeeper Chen stepped forward to introduce himself and explain his purpose, secretly complaining that this medical practitioner seemed a little unreliable.
Er Yi understood the other party's intention and asked, "Manager Chen, do you want a large quantity of high-quality Marrow Cleansing Pills?"
"Do you think you can provide it?" Shopkeeper Chen did not immediately ask for cooperation, but first tested whether Eryi could provide such marrow cleansing pills stably, and wanted to see whether these pills were really made by her.
"It's not impossible." Eryi thought for a moment, trying to figure out why the other party came to her: "How did you know I have the Marrow Cleansing Pill?"
There is nothing to hide. After working in Baibao Pavilion for many years, Manager Chen already knows the temperament of the alchemists to some extent.
Most of them prefer to be alone, dislike socializing, and are not good at conversation. However, they particularly enjoy hearing people brag about the elixirs they have refined. As long as they flatter them enough and paint a big picture, they can usually win a conversation.
At that moment, he repeated the events caused by the Marrow Cleansing Pill in the local area according to the information conveyed by Tongshan Market.
"If your marrow cleansing pill is not effective only for those under 10 years old, I'm afraid... the price would be comparable to the foundation-building pill." Shopkeeper Chen knew the weaknesses of alchemists long ago, so he boasted without any cost and just opened his mouth.
But he didn't expect that after a moment of deep thought, the medical practitioner in front of him began to ask him, "To what age can the upper limit of the effect be raised, so that the price will be comparable to that of the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
He gritted his teeth and said, "About a hundred years old." After that, he quickly changed the subject: "If you can refine your marrow cleansing pills stably, we hope to cooperate with you."
"Although the efficacy and quality of the Marrow Cleansing Pills you refined are good, from what we have learned, there seem to be slight differences."
Eryi was very interested: "What's the difference?"
"I don't know if it's accidental or for other reasons, but it seems that among the marrow cleansing pills you made, there are occasionally one or two that can achieve effects better than the top-grade marrow cleansing pills," the shopkeeper swallowed his saliva, "and can remove all impurities from the body of the person who takes it." After saying that, he carefully looked at Eryi's face.
Eryi nodded slightly and said nothing, but silently confirmed the quality identification rules of the alchemy system with Ling Lingba in his heart.
Seeing that Eryi didn't react much, Shopkeeper Chen began to describe the sales plan that Baibao Pavilion had set up for this marrow cleansing pill.
All the Marrow Cleansing Pills that Er Yi refined were handed over to them for sale. The average quality Marrow Cleansing Pills were sold at the price of thirty low-grade spirit stones each. The most effective Marrow Cleansing Pills were handed over to the auction house at the Baibao Pavilion headquarters for regular auctions.
A 20% handling fee is charged for ordinary marrow cleansing pills, and a 10% handling fee is charged for auctions.
"The starting price is a mid-grade spirit stone. What do you think?"
Er Yi had just finished his conversation with Ling Ling Ba in his mind and learned that quality appraisal currently only had the distinction between good and poor. If more detailed hints were needed, he would need to collect one hundred kinds of Qinglingjie elixirs for appraisal before it could be unlocked.
Eryi decided to bypass the identification system directly.
She smiled and said, "What if I could remove all the impurities from the body of every user?"
Shopkeeper Chen returned to the Treasure Pavilion, and this medical practitioner did not seem to want to cooperate with them.
Listen to what she said?
"As a medical practitioner, I'm not very good at refining pills. The Marrow Cleansing Pill was just a failure. But I'm currently practicing a medical technique called the Marrow Cleansing Technique. It can guarantee that anyone who receives this technique, as long as they are under the age of ten, will be able to completely eliminate impurities from their body."
"This technique has not yet been fully refined, hence the ten-year age limit."
Arabian Nights.
But no matter what, the plan they had previously set up for the marrow cleansing pill could no longer be used.
Not suitable.
Originally, this auction plan was designed because of the estimated scarcity of Marrow Cleansing Pills. But if, as she herself claimed, direct casting of the spell would yield better results, they would have to come up with a new plan.
If what she said is false, it will be difficult to have further cooperation at this time.
Regardless, this wasn't something a small branch owner like him could decide. Shopkeeper Chen took out a specially crafted sound transmission talisman, explained the situation clearly, then made a spell and placed the talisman into a small magical instrument.
This is Baibao Pavilion's special communication tool. There are as many such tools as there are branches of Baibao Pavilion.
The transmission range of a single magical instrument wasn't very long, just enough to reach the distance between two towns. However, the Baibao Pavilion had numerous branches, forming a network across the entire Qingling Realm. With hundreds or even thousands of communication instruments in different locations serving as connecting points, the Baibao Pavilion could quickly transmit messages from the farthest ends of the Qingling Realm.
After being blessed by this magical instrument, the message in the sound transmission talisman no longer appears in the form of a talisman, and cannot be intercepted by high-level monks halfway, and the message transmission security can also be maximized. Unfortunately, the message transmission still takes some time and cannot be used for real-time communication.
Five hours later, Shopkeeper Chen received a reply.
- Keep her stable, rent one of all the skills in her shop for a month, and bring the items back on the shuttle.
Eryi had no control over what Baibao Pavilion was thinking. After learning that the price of the Marrow Cleansing Pill could be increased, she decided to speed up her practice of the Marrow Cleansing Technique.
The skill synthesis method is not very suitable for marrow cleansing. It requires 50,000 energy points for one synthesis, 1,000 proficiency points at each level, and it takes at least 20 times to upgrade, which is not cost-effective.
Each cast of the Marrow Cleansing Technique consumes 200 mana points and 5 fatigue points. Practicing in vain is not worthwhile; it is necessary to create a Marrow Cleansing Pill to perform it properly.
Since Baibao Pavilion was interested in establishing a friendly relationship with him, Eryi ordered a batch of Qingling Grass directly from them. One Spirit Pearl for one plant, a good deal.
She has also thought about the price of increasing combat power and stimulating magic power.
In the world of cultivation, she renamed her two skills "Strengthening the Body" and "Enhancing the Spirit." They can be sold using a Saver (C) for one medium-grade Spirit Stone each, and using a Saver (B) for two medium-grade Spirit Stones each.
Poor quality elixirs that don't require spiritual herbs to be refined cost 20 low-grade spiritual stones. High quality elixirs that require spiritual herbs to be refined are not for sale yet and are being considered for auction.
