When Qin Gengyun arrived at Danfu Tower, the waiter saw him and immediately took him to see Manager Tong.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, what elixir did you bring this time?"
Tong Jinyin smiled and bowed to Qin Gengyun.
"Shopkeeper Tong is indeed a master of foresight. I do have a few medicinal pills that I would like to ask Shopkeeper Tong to take a look at."
Qin Gengyun has become thick-skinned now, and is adept at commercial flattery. Tong Jinyin laughed, and knowing that the pills Qin Gengyun brought were not ordinary ones, he invited him to the inner hall.
The two men sat down and the waiter served them tea. Qin Gengyun took out the jade bag and took out an Ice Purity Pill from it.
Tong Jinyin's eyes lit up and he looked at Qin Gengyun: "Congratulations, Brother Qin, you have become a second-grade alchemist so quickly."
Qin Gengyun no longer concealed the truth and smiled and bowed: "Thank you, Manager Tong. What do you think my Bingqing Pill is worth?"
Tong Jinyin raised his hand and pinched a wisp of mustache on his chin. He pondered for a moment before saying:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, your Ice Purity Pill is of very high quality. We are familiar with each other, so I won't waste any more words. How about a 65 Spirit Stone?"
Qin Gengyun frowned slightly: "Manager Tong, is it a little low?"
Before the Northern Wilderness Trial began, Pei Daoyu, the owner of the Spiritual Pill Shop, sold an ordinary quality Bingqing Pill for 65 spirit stones. Why is his high-quality Bingqing Pill still priced at the same price?
Tong Jinyin explained, "I am not lying to Fellow Daoist Qin. Before the Northern Wasteland Trial, the price of the elixir that can cure miasma and fire poison increased. But now that the Northern Wasteland Trial is almost over, the ordinary quality Bingqing Pill has dropped to 50 spirit stones."
"Your Bingqing Pill is of high quality, so I took the risk to give you 65 Spiritual Stones."
Qin Gengyun pondered for a moment, and Tong Jinyin dismissed the waiter beside him, then whispered:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, there is another opportunity for you and I to work together."
Qin Gengyun looked up and said, "Manager Tong, please speak."
Tong Jinyin came over and asked mysteriously, "Do you know that the three major sects sent people to Tianlu Mountain to search for treasure?"
Qin Gengyun nodded: "It is rumored that there are relics left by the Holy Lord of the Demon Sect in Tianlu Mountain."
"It's not a rumor, it's true!" Tong Jinyin lowered his voice even lower:
"People from the three major sects did find the Demon Sect's treasure, but there were traps in it. It is said that Elder Sang Yue of the Zhenyang Sect and Elder Xu Zhenqian of the Thunder Sword Sect died, and many disciples were injured! The three major sects have ended the Northern Wilderness Trial ahead of schedule!"
"What?!" Qin Gengyun was shocked.
People like Sang Yue and Xu Zhenqian are like gods to the lower-level cultivators.
He just died like that?
Surprised, Qin Gengyun immediately understood what Shopkeeper Tong meant:
"You said that many disciples of Zhenyang Sect are still injured, so they will soon buy a large number of healing pills?"
"Fellow Daoist Qin is indeed extremely intelligent!" Tong Jinyin gave a thumbs up.
The big sects have their own alchemists, but these great alchemists basically only refine pills of grade three or above for use by important figures.
If they are ordinary inner disciples or those whose cultivation has not reached the Golden Core Stage, they are only qualified to use second-grade elixirs when they are injured.
In order to avoid wasting the sect’s resources, these low-level elixirs can mostly be purchased from outside.
Qin Gengyun frowned and thought, then asked, "Manager Tong, do you know what kind of injuries these disciples have suffered? I can make the right medicine for them."
Shopkeeper Tong said, "The defeat at Tianlu Mountain is a shame for the three major sects, so we will naturally not publicize it. We can only estimate the specific elixir needed through the purchase quantity of Tiandan Pavilion in the future. If Fellow Daoist Qin can foresee the opportunity and refine the right elixir first, then I will give you all the supply I have, how about that?"
This old fox!
Qin Gengyun cursed in his heart. It was obvious that Shopkeeper Tong had said this to countless second-level alchemists. Presumably, all the alchemists in Yunling Town were already gearing up to make a fortune by taking advantage of this opportunity.
However, this kind of opportunity is indeed rare. Qin Gengyun's cost of refining pills is much lower than that of other alchemists, so naturally he wants to give it a try.
If successful, perhaps he could buy a big house for himself and Zhihe on Caifeng Street, and buy Zhihe a low-grade flying sword, so that his wife could live a truly good life.
Qin Gengyun was excited and decided to try his luck. He bowed to Tong Jinyin and said:
"Shopkeeper Tong, I will come back in ten days and see if the medicine I brought is suitable for your condition."
"Okay, I look forward to hearing from you, Fellow Daoist Qin!"
At that moment, 16 Bingqing Pills were sold at the price of 65 spirit stones, and 1040 more spirit stones were added to the spirit crystal. Together with the 300 spirit stones he already had, the total amount was 1340 spirit stones.
After leaving Danfu Building, I came to Xianbao Pavilion and bought 120 pieces of spiritual essence.
There were only more than 100 spirit stones left in the spirit crystal, and he returned to the poverty line.
However, Qin Gengyun believed that he would be able to earn more spirit stones soon.
The most important thing right now is to find out what happened to the three major sects in the Demon Sect's relics in Tianlu Mountain. Only by finding out how they were injured can we know what kind of elixir to refine.
When it comes to being well-informed, among the people Qin Gengyun knows, it must be Mo Xiaolan.
It just so happened that he was going to deliver the spiritual marrow to Mo Xiaolan, so he walked towards the night market.
Qin Gengyun has already calculated that to reach the fifth level of Qi training, he will need to consume 106 pieces of spiritual marrow. He specially bought 14 more pieces of spiritual marrow, which should be enough for Mo Xiaolan to break through.
If necessary, he can also bring Su Su over and use the Misty Spirit Eye to help Mo Xiaolan practice.
When we arrived at the night market, it was not yet dark and there were few pedestrians. Only a few vendors were setting up their stalls.
But he didn't see Mo Xiaolan. Qin Gengyun felt a little strange. Mo Xiaolan was very diligent. She would have arrived by this time in the past. Why was she nowhere to be seen today?
At this time, Huang Xun came over with the goods to set up the stall, and Qin Gengyun hurried forward:
"Friend Huang, have you seen Friend Mo?"
Huang Xun was slightly startled when he saw that it was Qin Gengyun, then he laughed and said:
“I didn’t see it.”
Qin Gengyun asked quickly, "Friend Huang, do you know if she will come today?"
Huang Xun shook his head: "I don't know."
"Thank you very much."
Qin Gengyun turned and left, walking towards the narrow rain alley.
Looking at his back, Huang Xun sighed.
Before Mo Xiaolan left that day, she specifically asked Huang Xun that if Qin Gengyun came to look for her, he should say that he didn't know her whereabouts.
"Alas, why should we, casual cultivators, be trapped by love? It is really a loss and a waste of time!"
Qin Gengyun returned to Zhaiyuxiang and knocked on Mo Xiaolan's door for a long time, but no one responded. He felt something was wrong and was about to go to Feiyilou, where Mo Xiaolan worked as a post repairman, but he met Landlord Lin.
Qin Gengyun asked, "Fellow Daoist Lin, have you seen Mo Xiaolan in the past two days?"
Landlord Lin looked at him, snorted, and finally said, "Fellow Daoist Qin, don't you know? Xiaolan got a big deal, and went to Zhenyang City yesterday. She said she would be back for half a year."
Qin Gengyun was stunned: "She went to Zhenyang City? Why didn't she mention it a few days ago?"
Landlord Lin chuckled: "Perhaps Xiaolan had not yet finalized the deal a few days ago. Besides, you and your wife are so affectionate every day, how could you know about other people's affairs?"
Qin Gengyun didn't know why Landlord Lin was so angry with him, but now that he knew where Mo Xiaolan was going, he felt relieved and bowed:
"Thank you, Brother Lin, for letting me know."
After saying that, he said goodbye and left. He walked to the end of the alley, stood in front of his house, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Mo Xiaolan's house in the distance.
With a creak, the door in front of her opened. Liusu looked at Qin Gengyun in surprise:
"Sir, what are you doing standing at the door? Come in!"
"Okay." Qin Gengyun withdrew his gaze and walked into the house.
"Zhihe, I'm back."
