Baibao Pavilion sent a Jindan early stage cultivator, two foundation building cultivators, and a five-year-old child with five spiritual roots to the treatment station.
The Jindan cultivator was a patron saint hired by the Baibao Pavilion. He usually stayed out of the way, appearing only on important occasions. Since Yu Anran, a late Jindan cultivator, was still extremely respectful to Eryi, the Baibao Pavilion assumed that Eryi was at least at the Jindan level. To discuss matters with her, it would be appropriate to send at least a Jindan cultivator.
Before entering the treatment station, they heard people coming out discussing something about the mustard seed space method.
The visitor to Baibao Pavilion acted indifferent: "Such a small place, if there is no special magic weapon, it can't accommodate more than a few people. How can we do business? Don't make a fuss." Their Baibao Pavilion's shop in Shanhai City also used the mustard seed method, and the space inside was twice as large as it looked from the outside.
This method alone makes Baibao Pavilion a level higher than other businesses.
However, as soon as they walked into the door of the treatment station, their cognition was instantly overturned.
"This... this is probably almost bigger than a storage bag." The reception hall on the first floor was a hundred times larger than it appeared from the outside. While a storage bag could easily do the same, it couldn't hold living things.
A slight mistake can lead to a huge error.
…
Tea room.
"Are you planning to try the marrow cleansing technique I mentioned earlier?"
"Yes." The Foundation Establishment cultivator beside him gently pushed the five-spiritual-rooted child on the back and replied respectfully, "If it's really as you say, we'll pay you the price of a top-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill. What do you think?"
"Are you really interested in cooperating with me?" Eryi did not agree directly.
The Jindan cultivator said seriously, "This isn't a joke." If he had previously held any contempt, he'd already dispelled that thought after entering the healing station. Not to mention the spells Baibao Pavilion had purchased there, their effectiveness was obvious to all.
He had personally used the Spring Breeze Technique to cultivate his spiritual energy. In reality, there weren't many effective elixirs at the Golden Core stage, and even if there were, their price was well worth the Golden Core stage—expensive.
However, the Spring Breeze Technique purchased at the Healing Station only required three low-grade spirit stones and was truly effective for him.
Earlier, when he tried a new technique, his lack of proficiency caused a backlash of his spiritual power. After using the Spring Breeze Technique, his spiritual power quickly returned to its original state. Furthermore, the detoxification technique was much more effective than ordinary detoxification pills when navigating a secret realm shrouded in miasma, yet the price was not much higher.
Baibao Pavilion judged that Eryi was not actually good at business.
The reason I came here this time was that I hoped to negotiate directly with Eryi and become her agent for all medical, magical, and pill sales businesses.
"This way, you can concentrate on your practice without worrying about trivial matters."
Eryi didn't agree to Baibao Pavilion's terms. "That's perfect. I want to cooperate with you, too." She took out the contract she had already drafted and handed it to the leading Jindan cultivator. "These things can only be sold through me."
The Jindan cultivator held the contract and read it from beginning to end.
It was completely different from what they had thought before.
"I won't stay in Shanhai City for more than half a year at most. During that time, I will continue traveling back and forth between the various markets as before."
"Senior, is this your wish? Before you go anywhere, you'll have the Treasure Pavilion build momentum for you?"
"That's right."
After more than a month, Eryi had already begun to sense the drawbacks of traveling merchants. The world of cultivation was vast, and there weren't many avenues for information transmission. However, the Healing Inn didn't last long in a particular market, and before the local cultivators could figure out what it was selling, she was about to leave.
Over the past month, the treatment station had passed through fifteen markets, and after deducting various expenses, it had not made any profit in spirit stones, but had actually lost money. Fortunately, it had made a lot of money from Anran, so it hadn't lost money at all.
In the Qingling Realm, there are hundreds of sects, large and small. It would take at least two to three years for a person to travel through all of them in the human cultivation continent.
She needed a guide to guide her between the various markets, and a reputable chamber of commerce that could inform the local monks of her intended sales before she traveled. The Treasure Pavilion was the perfect place.
"Half a year later, I hope to travel with the Baibao Pavilion shuttle, and the Baibao Pavilion will pre-sell the quota for the Marrow Cleansing Technique. I cannot perform this technique too many times at a time, and the quantity needs to be limited." At that time, she only needs to stop between each market and let those who have purchased the quota for the Marrow Cleansing Technique come to receive the spell.
Pre-sales and hunger marketing are common methods used in auctions, and Baibao Pavilion is also familiar with them.
Eryi doesn't expect to make a lot of money from marrow washing: "It's a 50-50 split." As for the final price of marrow washing and the sales model, it still needs to be discussed.
The Jindan cultivator and the two foundation-building cultivators looked at each other and fell into thought.
The cooperation period was six months from now. Aside from marrow cleansing, they would not be collaborating on any other techniques for the time being, as it was too far removed from their original purpose. But business negotiations, to put it bluntly, were a back-and-forth struggle. It was unclear who held the initiative.
However, Baibao Pavilion is not the only chamber of commerce that wants to cooperate with Eryi.
The treatment station attracted a lot of attention in Tongshan Market. The Chamber of Commerce, which received the news, naturally began to investigate the goods sold in the treatment station.
Xifeng Chamber of Commerce.
"Go quickly, don't let Baibao Pavilion get ahead again!" A green-robed monk in the Chamber of Commerce kept urging.
"He's just an alchemist, why are you in such a hurry?"
Looking at the gentle green-robed monk, he cursed: "You know shit."
As we all know, all elixirs in the world of cultivation are divided into upper, middle and lower grades. Occasionally, there will be top-grade elixirs that do not fall within these three grades.
However, except for high-quality and top-grade elixirs, and special elixir formulas that have recently undergone some improvements, almost all elixirs contain elixir poison, the only difference is the degree of poison.
The impact of elixir poison on cultivators is very great. It is not obvious in the early stage, but whenever they are about to cross a major realm, the existence of elixir poison will become impossible to ignore.
If one takes too many pills during the practice, the pill poison will accumulate to a certain level, and the impact of the pill poison may even be comparable to that of an advanced inner demon.
Monks have few options for dealing with elixir poison. The most common strategy is to minimize the intake of medicinal pills. After reaching a new realm, the surge of spiritual energy released during the advancement will cleanse the monk's entire body, expelling all impurities, including the elixir poison. Alternatively, if a monk is fortunate enough to receive a special inheritance, they can use other methods to cleanse the body of impurities.
Later, things took a turn for the better.
Sixty years ago, a medical practitioner who came to the Qingling Realm from the lower realm used the knowledge he learned in the mortal world and spent thirty years to finally concoct a prescription.
Using this recipe, after a 49-day medicinal bath, the poison would be expelled on its own. However, it was soon discovered that there was a problem with the recipe. While it was effective, the spiritual herbs required were uncommon, not to mention the sheer cost of obtaining the necessary amount for a 49-day bath. This would easily drain the life savings of an average Jindan cultivator.
The medical practitioners who prepared this prescription were also capable people. After they learned about the problem with this prescription, they replaced the most expensive and rare spiritual herbs in the prescription with common and easily available medicinal materials in the world of cultivation, thus retaining 90% of the efficacy of this prescription.
If one were to purchase the herbs themselves, spending three mid-grade spirit stones would suffice for a forty-nine-day medicinal bath. While the price would be extremely high, it was still within the range of what one could earn with some effort.
There are also certain rules for how to use medicinal herbs. If a cultivator uses them carelessly, the effectiveness of eliminating the poison will only reach 80%. If one wants to maximize the efficacy of the medicine, the assistance of a medical cultivator is required.
The detoxification technique rented at the treatment station did not require the purchase of any additional herbs, nor did it take forty-nine days to cure. The effect was immediate. The price was only five low-grade spirit stones.
What could five low-grade spirit stones do? It might be a lot for a Qi Refining cultivator, but for a Foundation Establishment cultivator or above, it was nothing. Even a single Spirit Replenishing Pill, commonly used by Jindan cultivators, would cost more than that.
Regardless of whether there are other tricks involved, and whether the treatment station's release of goods with such prices violates market rules, the detoxification technique has indeed completely eliminated the erysipelas that had been in his body for a long time.
At least, the effects of medical techniques are real.
…
Baibao Pavilion promised many benefits and began to draw a future map for Eryi. The underlying meaning was - whatever you want to do, including purchasing some hard-to-obtain spiritual objects, can be achieved for you through our various connections, and it will be much more convenient.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, they might have signed the cooperation agreement in a fit of rage, after all, the conditions they offered were so generous. However, Eryi was not an ordinary cultivator; she wasn't even from the Pure Spirit Realm.
Baibao Pavilion has been trying to persuade you from all angles for a long time: "With our assistance, you can save a lot of time in cultivation. After all, the most important thing for a cultivator is cultivation. Otherwise, when your lifespan reaches its end, no matter how much you earn, it will not be worth it."
Eryi remained indifferent.
The Foundation Establishment cultivator patiently coaxed her, "As long as you desire it, we'll provide you with any elixirs we can find..." As long as she was willing to hand over all the medical techniques to them. When he entered, he seemed to notice some new names for the healing station, and wondered what their specific effects would be.
Eryi remained indifferent.
The person from Baibao Pavilion wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the employee of the treatment station: "Boss, Xifeng Chamber of Commerce is here to pay you a visit." As he said that, he walked up to Eryi and whispered a few words.
"I have guests here. Please ask them to wait in the tea room next door."
At this time, the Jindan guest official from Baibao Pavilion stood up and said, "No problem, he's an old acquaintance, so we can meet him together."
…
Eryi did not allow these two people from different chambers of commerce to meet in the treatment station.
After communicating with both parties, she politely declined their requests for agency. Once the two chambers of commerce had left, she discovered that all the storage devices and skills in the store had been bought out by the two chambers of commerce. Even the elixirs she had made sporadically during her marrow cleansing practice over the past month had been completely taken away.
There's nothing to sell at the treatment station.
In this way, even if Eryi was unfamiliar with the world of cultivation, she would have known that there was something wrong with her price. Otherwise, these two knowledgeable chambers of commerce would not have bought out all the goods in her store.
Because Tongshanmen had previously offered her 15 low-grade spirit stones for each Cleansing Marrow Pill, she had been bidding 15 low-grade spirit stones for each of the 200 Cleansing Marrow Pills she had crafted over the past month. She hadn't listed many other skills, and the prices hadn't changed.
A rough calculation showed that in just a short time since opening, the total revenue was as high as 3,440 low-grade spirit stones. Of course, this was also due to the inventory accumulated over the past month.
The purchases made by these chambers of commerce and the way they rented out their skills made Eryi discover the problem.
Baibao Pavilion bought up almost all the pills in the store, including the 200 Marrow Cleansing Pills. It was clear that their primary purpose was the Marrow Cleansing Pills and the Marrow Cleansing Technique.
The Xifeng Chamber of Commerce, however, was different. They bought almost every skill on sale, with leases of over five years, seemingly hoarding the skills. Eryi noticed in the system prompt that the first skill they purchased was the detoxification skill.
Er Yi was very clear about the skill description of Detoxification: "It seems that Detoxification can solve some of the more troublesome problems in the cultivation world. The price will need to be adjusted when it is put on the shelves next time."
Eryi knew that the detoxification technique could cure all toxins, including elixir. After all, it had been used on Yu Anran and proved effective. But she didn't know what the ability to cure elixir meant in the world of cultivation.
Ever since acquiring the Healing Station system, each skill had become more unique than the last. After getting used to it, Eryi had become somewhat numb to it. This was especially true for the older skills she'd acquired earlier. She subconsciously felt they weren't as powerful as the ones she'd acquired later.
…
As soon as the two guilds of commerce left the treatment station, they split up to inquire about each other's situation. Having worked in the guilds for many years, these cultivators were all very shrewd, but even a single glance as they passed each other in and out of the gates would tell them something was amiss.
Sparks flew.
"They definitely didn't come here for the marrow cleansing."
"They definitely didn't come here for the detoxification."
The doctors at the treatment station were holding something they didn't know about.
After managing it well, you can exchange it for a lot of spirit stones and connections.
No wonder Doctor Er was unwilling to hand over all the agency authority to them. I'm afraid there is another hidden reason.
…
Not long after, in addition to Baibao Pavilion and Xifeng Trading Company, other trading companies came to find Eryi to discuss agency matters, but Eryi declined them all.
If she was truly an alchemist, she would certainly be happy to have major businesses sell her pills on her behalf, freeing up enough time for her cultivation. But she wasn't.
Although skills in the world of cultivation can make money, Eryi has no plans to use the skill reserves from other dimensions for the time being.
Besides, the most profitable skills here can almost only be used by Eryi himself. Even the elves★ who have already completed the training plan cannot learn them due to skill incompatibility.
All services within the treatment station will be fully limited.
On the second day after the treatment station officially opened in Shanhai City, Eryi once again put out a sign recruiting employees.
Three employees are neither too few nor too many, but because the treatment station needs to be open all day, there is only one employee in each time period.
In addition, the monks in the world of cultivation are different from those in other planes. They may enter into meditation and seclusion at any time and may face the problem of no one to take over their positions.
Eryi took out the Spirit Energy Storage Ball and placed it at the entrance of the Healing Station. He then spent one energy point and had Ling Ling Ba conjure up a wooden board next to the Spirit Energy Storage Ball, which explained how to use it.
She decided to embark on a mission across the Three Thousand Worlds—to obtain the spiritual powers of three thousand different cultivators, totaling one hundred thousand.
Eryi called the staff over and explained how to use the Spiritual Energy Storage Balls. He then personally served the first few customers who used the Spiritual Energy Storage Balls.
…
"That treatment station is said to be a medical clinic."
"What is a medical clinic?"
"A shop run by a medical practitioner who charges spirit stones to provide customers with his medical skills."
"Medical cultivator?" Medical cultivators are not common these days and are a rare species of cultivator.
"Not only that, it is said that the medical cultivator has a very high level of cultivation, at least a Nascent Soul cultivator."
A Foundation Establishment cultivator shook his head upon hearing this: "How is that possible? I just went there once, and she personally received me just now."
"Why are you going there?"
The foundation-building cultivator touched his nose and said, "They said it was a new business and they were giving out free spiritual elixirs." He took advantage of the situation.
Is there such a good thing?
