After inspecting all three, Hu Qianyan was about to give him the spirit stone when the young man asked, "Do you have any books on caring for spirit plants? I have a yard now and I want to study and grow some things."
After thinking for a while, she said, "If there is anything for alchemy, I would also like to see it." What she wanted to buy most were martial arts techniques and sword skills, but they were too expensive. She had to prioritize.
Li Yiru had to go out first, and she wanted to go to the Central Plains city to see if it was cheaper or more advanced there, but the pill formula should be the same.
"Yes, yes!" Hu Qianyan smiled happily, thinking this was a great way to make money. "It is said that this booklet belongs to a master alchemist..."
"Just give me something practical." Li Yirou didn't want to listen to her nonsense. She raised her eyebrows and stared at her. Hu Qianyan seemed to be seen through and said awkwardly, "Then this one will do."
After that, he handed her a book and five sheets of paper. "Don't be fooled by the fact that it's just a paper book. In fact, there are many alchemy methods extracted from jade slips in the back." Hu Qianyan smoothed her hair. "As for the alchemy furnace, you can just buy one if you are just starting to learn."
After saying that, he took out a small copper furnace from his storage bag. "This was originally a mid-grade magical weapon, and it was used for both alchemy and refining. Unfortunately, the furnace exploded, and after repairs, it has become a low-grade one. I'll give you 30 spirit stones."
"This book and a few pieces of paper are a bit more expensive. It's said that the paper contains excerpts from the high-level Changsheng Jue, which are about invigorating spirits. They're very useful for spiritual plants and even for the recovery of cultivators. Each piece of paper costs 35 spirit stones, so a total of 170. No bargaining."
"The front of this book contains the basics, so consider it a gift to you. The back contains many recipes for elixirs, all extracted from jade slips, including extremely precious and difficult-to-refine poison pills! This thick book will cost you 300 spirit stones!"
Hu Qianyan boasted a lot, but in fact, it is more difficult to refine the poison pill, and people are more concerned about tonic pills, so the poison pill recipe is difficult to sell.
"Give me a page." The price was too high, and Li Yirou felt a little distressed. Who said knowledge is priceless? With just such a casual question, 500 yuan was gone.
"Here." Hu Qianyan handed her one carefully, "I won't let anyone else look at it."
[According to the "Eternal Life Secret"...] The focus of the latter part is on how to stimulate the growth of spiritual plants. As to whether it is some kind of high-level technique, Li Yiru is not sure, but it looks very advanced.
"Poison pills are something that ordinary cultivators can't refine. I..." Li Yirou said deliberately. Hu Qianyan was indeed anxious when she heard it. "Brother, you are obviously smart and have a high level of understanding! Besides, many of the recipes in the front of this book are extremely practical pills such as fasting pills and soul-replenishing pills, and the ones in the back are for several kinds of poison pills."
"It would be a shame if you didn't learn how to make pills. If you could just make a quick fasting pill or something, you could save some spirit stones, right?"
"Then let me read a few pages first?" She wanted to see how many poison pills there were, but Hu Qianyan smiled and refused again, "Brother, the rules of the market are that books cannot be read by others."
Li Yirou's icy face revealed a rare look of embarrassment. "Then I'll just take these planting sheets. This way I can save on the alchemy furnace and the recipe booklet. After deducting the few cubs I just gave you, I only need to pay you 65..."
Hearing her calculations, Hu Qianyan became anxious, "Brother! You should learn how to make pills. You don't know that if you learn, you can make a lot of money from a furnace of pills. Not to mention how many people will cry and beg you to help them make pills. It's really a matter of face and substance!"
"How about this, since it's so rare for me to meet you, I'll give this booklet away for half price to someone who's destined to meet me! I'll give you 280..."
She said a number, and seeing the young man frowning, he was about to hand her the spirit stones he had just calculated, so she quickly changed her words, "I don't even want 280, 260..."
"No!" She watched Li Yirou's expression closely, the number changing with her frown, "Only 210!"
This was also Hu Qianyan's limit. Li Yiru observed her expression and then relaxed her brows at the right time.
"At this price, even if you buy four pill recipes, it will cost almost the same! Today, I, Hu Qianyan, will treat it as making a friend. I'm not doing this for money, but just to give a friend some benefits!"
...It's a shame for Hu Qianyan not to be a live-streamer selling goods. Li Yirou recalled the scene of her previous life and couldn't help but reveal a barely perceptible smile, but quickly withdrew it. "Just tell me how many kinds of pill recipes are recorded in it. If I don't buy this many, I'll refund you."
"More than 10 kinds! I can swear!" Hu Qianyan had long forgotten how many there were. Anyway, it was a thick stack of poison pills. No one wanted this thing at all, and it was not expensive when she collected it.
It's not all about scamming you, there are still a few ordinary pill recipes in front, and if you take them out individually, they will cost less than 200 spirit stones.
She was simply fed up with the sight of these unsaleable items. She'd originally thought she could make a killing if she could snag someone who could refine poison pills, but in the end, no one was interested. After holding onto them for several years, she felt she was losing too much, so she decided to sell them for spirit stones.
Li Yiru nodded. She didn't care about ordinary pill recipes at all. More than ten of them were poison pill recipes, which were more suitable for her.
"If I can't make it, how much can you take of this book?" Li Yiru was like a cultivator who was very tempted by a trick and felt that he might become the next master of alchemy, but he also had some concerns.
"We buy books, one page costs 1-2 spirit stones, and the recipes cost 10-50 spirit stones per page." But she bought the poison pill formula in this book at the lowest price of 1 spirit stone per page.
Hu Qianyan continued to push, "Brother, this book might be useful someday. Apart from those who have mastered it, very few people sell it. It's very valuable."
Li Yirou nodded. She had something else to buy, called a soul-sealing box.
Generally, monks carry a storage bag with them, but if spiritual plants are placed in the storage bag, the spiritual energy will gradually dissipate.
Therefore, you need to buy a low-grade magic tool called a spirit-sealing box to preserve the freshness of spiritual plants, especially high-grade spiritual plants. If more spiritual energy is dissipated, the price will be greatly affected.
It is also better to put the medicine bottles in it, so everyone will prepare a box.
"How much is your soul-sealing box?" Li Yiru had seen it at another stall. A low-grade soul-sealing box, marked as 90% new, cost 40 spirit stones.
Hu Qianyan was very happy after selling the Poison Pill Books that she had been holding back. "As for the Spirit Sealing Box, I got a 90% new one a while ago. I'll give you 38 Spirit Stones for it~"
After deducting the 105 low-grade spirit stones from selling the little leopard, Li Yiru still needs to pay 343 to Hu Qianyan.
"Brother, don't worry about me taking care of things!" Hu Qianyan gracefully put away the spirit stone she handed over. "I know you came here without telling your teammates. I will put these three together in another team for you and make sure your teammates won't find out."
Li Yirou didn't care. It didn't matter to her how she remembered it, and she wasn't afraid of her teammates finding out. But she nodded and said, "Goodbye."
After the payment and delivery, she was left with only 5 mid-grade spirit stones and 8 spirit stones. She didn't dare to shop anymore and fled out of the market.
Practicing cultivation really costs money like water. She only sold a few pieces of paper and was reluctant to buy jade slips. No wonder the cultivators were scrambling to join the sect. Although they had to do some chores, they could save a lot of money on reading.
