Chapter 23: Follow the Fate
The attendant quickly replied, "We sell Bigu Pills in the pavilion. There are three qualities: low, medium, and high. We are currently out of the best quality."
Su Qingwu then asked, "How much is it?"
"If it's the lowest quality, two pills are worth one Spirit Stone, a mid-quality pill is worth two Spirit Stones, and a high-quality Bigu Pill is worth ten Spirit Stones."
At this point, the attendant asked respectfully, "Would the guest like to purchase this pill?"
"I haven't decided yet. Do you know how much poison this fasting pill contains?"
"I once had the honor of hearing the alchemist in the pavilion mention that no matter what kind of elixir, after being refined, the elixir poison contained in elixir of the same quality is almost the same. The elixir poison of low-quality elixir accounts for one-fifth of the medicinal properties, the elixir poison of medium-quality elixir accounts for one-hundredth, the high-quality elixir accounts for one-thousandth, and the best-quality elixir does not contain elixir poison."
"That's right. Thanks for letting me know."
Su Qingwu originally planned to buy a few medium-grade fasting pills for preparation, but now he has changed his mind.
Things that can remove elixir poison no longer exist in this world. It is better to take less low-grade and medium-grade elixirs.
As for the high-quality products, they are relatively expensive, so I won’t consider them for now.
Including the sect's three-month monthly salary and some spiritual plants obtained as compensation, he now has a total of 114 spiritual stones.
Thinking of the three Qi-Gathering Pills she had kept, she continued to ask, "Will you buy the first-grade lower-grade pills?"
The attendant nodded and said, "If the medicinal properties of the elixir have not been lost, we will buy it at a price 10% lower than the market price. If it has been left for too long and the medicinal properties have been lost, the price will be even lower."
"I wonder how much the lower-grade Qi Gathering Pill costs in your shop?"
"This pill is the most valuable of the first-grade pills. It is sold to the public for five spirit stones for a low-grade pill."
Before this, Su Qingwu had no idea about the value of the Qi Gathering Pill. Now with the Bigu Pill for comparison, the gap is clearly revealed.
She was surprised at first, but then she thought that this pill could help improve one's cultivation and its value was far higher than the Bigu Pill, so it was reasonable.
They were sold at 10% below the market price, and the total price of the three pieces was 13.5 yuan.
Low-grade spirit stones are already the smallest price unit in the world of immortal cultivation. When encountering such a situation, the default method is to round up.
Of course, as long as both parties reach a consensus, the remaining results can be achieved.
Su Qingwu finally chose to sell the three Qi Gathering Pills directly.
After the alchemist checked and confirmed that the elixir was fine, he obtained fourteen spirit stones.
Including the existing ones, the total is one hundred and twenty-eight.
The matter was settled, and she left Mingdan Pavilion with her attendants seeing her off.
Walking on the street again, Su Qingwu visited several businesses related to refining instruments for some time to inquire about the prices of treasures that could conceal one's cultivation level.
After many inquiries, we finally came to a conclusion.
There are very few treasures of this kind, and because the materials used to make them are extremely rare, they are very valuable. They are basically made into the shape of jade pendants with varying effects.
The cheapest type costs about nine hundred low-grade spirit stones. When worn on the body, it can only be sensed by Qi-refining monks.
If one wants to conceal the foundation-building process, the corresponding treasure will cost about 10,000 low-grade spirit stones.
As for the treasure that can hide the golden elixir's induction, only the Baiqitang has it, and there is only one left, and the price is more than 500,000...
After learning the approximate price, Su Qingwu began to think about other ways to conceal his cultivation.
I walked and thought along the way, and before I knew it, I arrived in front of a rather old temple.
The rusty plaque on the door was inscribed with the three characters "随缘齋".
There were no other monks around except her.
It is unlikely that a building that can exist in Aokibo City is abandoned and uninhabited.
With this thought in mind, Su Qingwu tried to knock on the door.
A series of not-too-light but not-too-heavy thuds were heard immediately, followed by a creaking sound, and the palace door automatically opened inwards...
