Inside was a square with more than a dozen carriages parked there. Some were empty, some were filled with boxes, and some people were loading pills or spiritual plants onto the carriages. It was quite lively.
"It seems the Dan Sect's business is doing quite well. They're all dressed smartly; they must be big bosses doing big business." Bai Hao secretly observed the people who came to buy things and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
Most of the people who come are bosses dressed in fine clothes, accompanied by several subordinates. The boss is in charge of negotiating business, while the subordinates are in charge of moving goods. How convenient!
Then look at him, all alone, looking utterly pathetic.
Even though he was alone, a disciple of the Dan Sect stepped forward and asked, "Are you here to buy something?"
"Yes, I've come to buy some healing pills."
"What grade of healing pills do you want to buy? How many?"
"Um... what kind of healing pills do you have? I want to buy a quantity of one million gold coins. How much do you think you can sell it for?" Bai Hao didn't know the market price, so he could only ask cautiously like a novice.
But as soon as he said that, the disciple looked up at him in shock and asked, "How many do you want to buy?!"
“One…one million gold coins.” Bai Hao was startled.
Is it because the price is too low and you don't like it?
"No...no, please wait here, I'll call our steward right away!" The disciple realized what was happening and quickly went into the storeroom.
A moment later, a man with a large belly and a face so fleshy it was almost squashed together walked briskly up to Bai Hao.
"You're the customer who wants to buy one million gold coins?"
"Uh, yes, I'd like to buy a million gold coins worth of healing medicine from you. Is that possible?" Bai Hao said obediently.
"Of course, of course! Come, come, let's go inside and talk!" The steward quickly led Bai Hao to the reception room next to the storeroom.
"Someone, quickly brew a pot of good tea!"
The steward called out as he gestured for Bai Hao to sit down, his face beaming with smiles.
"May I ask your name, sir?"
"Just call me Bai Hao."
"Young Master Bai, what kind of healing pills would you like to buy? We have four kinds here: Rejuvenation Pill, Bone Growth Pill, Longevity Pill, and Nine-Turn Pill."
The Rejuvenation Pill can treat common external injuries and has the effects of quickly stopping bleeding and restoring vital energy. It costs ten gold coins per pill.
The Bone-Regenerating Pill is even more effective; besides stopping bleeding and restoring vital energy, it can also effectively treat injuries to the bones. One hundred gold coins per pill.
In addition to stopping bleeding and promoting bone healing, Changchun Dan can also greatly increase qi and blood and true qi, restoring them instantly. Taking just one pill during battle will restore you to full health. One pill costs 500 gold coins.
The Nine-Turn Pill is the best healing pill in our Dan Sect, and arguably the best in the entire continent. It has the power to save lives, regenerate flesh from bones, and bring the dead back to life. However, a person can only take one pill in their lifetime, and each pill costs 10,000 gold coins.
"We have about 50,000 Rejuvenation Pills and 50,000 Bone-Growing Pills in stock, about 10,000 Everlasting Pills, and about 100 Nine-Turn Pills. I wonder how Young Master Ye would like to purchase them?" The fat steward introduced a whole bunch of things in one breath, but he explained them very clearly.
"Let me think about it."
"Sure, sure, no rush, take your time thinking about it." The fat manager wasn't in a hurry at all; as long as the deal went through, he wasn't afraid.
A deal worth one million gold coins is a huge deal, even for the Dan Sect, and it cannot be taken lightly.
Such a large deal naturally requires careful consideration.
...
"One million gold coins could buy 100,000 Rejuvenation Pills, but they don't have that many in stock. They could buy 10,000 Bone Growth Pills, 2,000 Longevity Pills, and only 100 Nine-Turn Pills..."
Bai Hao fell into deep thought.
The main problem is that Su Yuewan didn't tell him exactly which healing pills he wanted to buy. If he bought the wrong ones or the ones that were too expensive, he would be blamed for it, and he would have no way to complain.
Buying 100,000 Rejuvenation Pills in total? Let's not even talk about whether the Pill Sect has that many in stock. Even if they did, the Falling Sea Sect only has less than 300 people. Are they going to eat all these Rejuvenation Pills?
Even with Bone-Growing Pills, 10,000 pills would be a lot. The Everlasting Spring Pills could sell for 2,000 pills. As for the Nine-Turn Pills, Bai Hao had no interest in them, mainly because they were too expensive. One million could only buy 100 pills, not even enough for one pill per person.
Moreover, they weren't so extravagant as to have each person buy a Nine-Turn Pill.
"Let's just buy a little of everything!"
Bai Hao immediately had a plan in mind and said to the fat steward:
"Alright then, I'll trouble you, Steward, to get me ten Nine-Turn Pills, five hundred Everlasting Pills, two thousand Bone-Growing Pills, and the rest of the rest can be used to buy Rejuvenation Pills."
Since we don't know which pills to buy, we might as well buy a little of everything. That way, we shouldn't go wrong, right?
"Alright, I'll have someone prepare right away. It might take one or two hours. During that time, Young Master Bai can wander around our Dan Sect," the chubby steward said with a smile, very enthusiastically.
How could anyone not be enthusiastic about a deal worth a million gold coins?
"Alright, then I'll trouble you. I'll go take a walk around." Bai Hao stood up confidently, finally feeling like the customer was always right.
The fat steward even sent a disciple to guide him throughout the entire journey, letting him wander around the Dan Sect.
However, what Bai Hao really wanted to see was their sect's main hall. The disciple then took him there. But the sect's main hall was very lively at the time. When Bai Hao arrived, he saw a lot of people gathered in the square in front of the main hall. There were also many pill furnaces in the middle, and people were having a pill refining competition.
"What are they competing in? Are they competing in alchemy?" Bai Hao asked curiously.
The Dan Sect disciple standing to the side—his name was 'Xiao Yi'.
Xiao Yi explained, "Young Master is right. They are competing in alchemy. To be precise, they are only practicing alchemy, because they are participating in our sect's trial. They choose which pills to refine, and as long as the pills they refine reach a certain level, they can pass the trial and be promoted to a higher-level disciple."
"I understand."
Bai Hao nodded and stopped to watch the people refining pills.
There were about ten people refining pills on the field, both men and women, and they had just started. Each person was preparing spiritual plants on their table, but the spiritual plants on each person's table were different.
The grades of pills are divided into five levels, with the higher the number, the higher the grade. After the fifth grade pills, there are "earth grade pills, heaven grade pills, and saint grade pills", with the highest grade being the saint grade pill.
Although Bai Hao hadn't refined many pills, he could easily distinguish between spiritual plants and pill formulas. He glanced at the pill formulas that the people on the field were going to refine and found that they were basically all third-grade pill formulas. It seemed that the greatest skill of this group of people was refining third-grade pills.
Whether or not it can be successfully refined depends on the individual's skill.
Bai Hao's gaze swept across the field casually, until he suddenly spotted a familiar figure...
