The two chatted and laughed as they walked around the campus, talking about why they had embarked on the path of cultivation and the various interesting things that happened during their cultivation. They got along quite well.
The handsome young man and beautiful young woman walking on campus attracted the attention of many passing students.
The two strolled around, discussing the details of alchemy.
After Zhang Yuan's guidance, Su Yafang felt as if she had been enlightened.
It turns out there are so many things to consider regarding the order in which you add the ingredients, the amount of water you add, and the cooking temperature. No wonder I exploded every time I tried to make it before!
It must be because there wasn't enough water and the heat was too high!
Thinking this way, Su Yafang became even more convinced that Zhang Yuan was a hidden master!
The art of alchemy is extremely difficult, and alchemy masters are rare in the cultivation world!
Since Zhang Yuan had generously shared his knowledge with her, a fellow cultivator she had only met once, Su Yafang was not only grateful but also deeply moved.
"Senior Brother Zhang, thank you so much!"
"I tried to refine Foundation Establishment Pills three times before, but failed each time, even though I used top-grade herbs. Those three failures wasted tens of thousands of yuan that I spent on herbs!"
Senior Brother Zhang, your guidance has given me a much better chance of success in my next alchemy attempt!
Su Yafang has started calling Zhang Yuan "Senior Brother"!
Zhang Yuan felt awkward listening to this. He had only been involved in cultivation for the past six months, so he knew far less about the rules of the cultivation world than Su Yafang, who came from a secretive cultivation family.
"Just call me Zhang Yuan!" Zhang Yuan said.
"Okay, Senior Brother Zhang!"
Su Yafang nodded quickly, behaving as obediently as a little girl.
"I came to Tongcheng this time to buy medicinal materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills and some other pills. Tongcheng is a hometown of herbs, with a rich variety of medicinal materials. This box is enough for me to refine for a long time!"
Su Yafang patted the bulky black suitcase and said with a smile. Then she bent down and opened the suitcase to show Zhang Yuan the various medicinal herbs inside, including Ganoderma lucidum, kudzu root, dendrobium, and licorice.
Among them, precious medicinal herbs such as Ganoderma lucidum and kudzu root exude a faint spiritual aura, indicating that they are quite old!
Zhang Yuan clicked his tongue in amazement. As expected of a wealthy woman from Jiangnan, she was so extravagant when buying medicinal herbs!
This box is enough for him to refine a lot of Foundation Establishment Pills!
Su Yafang said she had ruined several furnaces, wasting tens of thousands of yuan. Zhang Yuan didn't quite understand at first, but now he understood. So this girl was using such good medicinal herbs! No wonder.
In Su Yafang's box, there were several wild Ganoderma lucidum plants that looked quite extraordinary. Although they were not as big as the ones Zhang Yuan picked from the back mountain, they looked to be of good quality!
"This is a wild Ganoderma lucidum from Xiqing Mountain, 150 years old!"
Su Yafang pointed to the two largest purple Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms and said.
"A wild Ganoderma lucidum that's over a hundred years old sells for 10,000 yuan apiece in a pharmacy, and you might not even be able to buy one! I was lucky this time; the owner just bought two from a herb farmer!"
The first time Zhang Yuan used Ganoderma lucidum to refine pills, he got it for free from the back mountain. Now, after hearing Su Yafang's explanation, he realized that wild Ganoderma lucidum is so expensive!
As Su Yafang spoke, she took out the largest wild Ganoderma lucidum from the box and handed it to Zhang Yuan.
"Senior Brother Zhang, this Ganoderma lucidum was a gift from Ya Fang when we first met. Thank you for guiding Ya Fang in refining the Foundation Establishment Pill!"
Su Yafang said.
He had only casually mentioned the process of refining Foundation Establishment Pills, yet Su Yafang was offering him such a precious Ganoderma lucidum. Zhang Yuan felt it was inappropriate to accept it.
However, if I don't accept it, I'm afraid I won't be able to afford the Ganoderma lucidum next time I want to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill!
After much hesitation, Zhang Yuan finally accepted it.
He thought he would find an opportunity to repay Su Yafang later.
"By the way, Senior Brother Zhang, you said you've refined a few Foundation Establishment Pills recently. Could I borrow them to take a look?"
Su Yafang said softly, her Jiangnan accent carrying a hint of coquettishness even in ordinary speech.
Zhang Yuan naturally agreed, after all, he had just received such a valuable Ganoderma lucidum, and he was still a little embarrassed.
However, he still grunted twice, reminding himself, "My name is Zhang Yuan!"
Then, he rummaged through his clothes pockets with one hand and pulled out a green chewing gum box from his pants pocket.
Su Yafang's eyes widened in surprise, wondering what Zhang Yuan was up to.
Will you offer me some chewing gum?
Su Yafang blushed.
Zhang Yuan handed the chewing gum box to Su Yafang, and with his thumb, he lifted the cap, releasing a rich, refreshing fragrance.
Instantly, a refreshing and invigorating fragrance wafted within a two-meter radius of Zhang Yuan and Su Yafang!
"It smells so good!"
"What brand of chewing gum did you buy? It smells so good!"
Su Yafang said, her delicate nose couldn't help but take a couple more sniffs, and then she reached out her hand, just about to take one to try, but Zhang Yuan slapped it away.
"Ugh!"
"This isn't chewing gum, it's a Foundation Establishment Pill I refined!!"
\"ah??\"
Su Yafang's hand trembled twice, then fell, and her face immediately turned ashen.
How embarrassing!
She thought Zhang Yuan was going to offer her some chewing gum!
Zhang Yuan poured a Foundation Building Pill out of the chewing gum box and placed it in his palm.
The black, gold-tinged Foundation Building Pills, the size of glass beads, emitted a strange light under the sunlight on the playground, and the surrounding air was filled with rich spiritual energy.
"So this is the Foundation Establishment Pill?!"
"That's amazing!"
"Such a rich spiritual energy!"
Su Yafang said excitedly, her eyes shining.
She cultivated for many years before opening her first acupoint and entering the Foundation Establishment Realm, but she is still stuck in the Foundation Establishment stage and unable to open her second acupoint!
She heard that Foundation Establishment Pills could help cultivators quickly open up their acupoints, so she started researching Foundation Establishment Pills. Unfortunately, her talent for alchemy was very average. She tinkered with it for several months, ruining batch after batch of pills, but still made no progress!
Su Yafang even suffered some psychological trauma from the explosion of the furnace while refining pills.
Therefore, how could she not be excited to see the Foundation Establishment Pill radiating rich spiritual energy?
Bu Er said that the Foundation Establishment Pill refined by Zhang Yuan was of extremely high quality, and Zhang Yuan also said that after taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, he directly opened up an acupoint.
Therefore, Su Yafang absolutely loved it.
"Senior Brother Zhang, do you sell your Foundation Establishment Pills? I really want one!"
"Can I buy one?!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Su Yafang realized that it seemed inappropriate. Foundation Establishment Pills were so precious, how could Senior Brother Zhang sell them?
Zhang Yuan had been racking his brains these past few days trying to earn some money to rent a place in the student district for his future cultivation and alchemy. When he heard that Su Yafang wanted to buy Foundation Establishment Pills, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Since you like them so much, I'll sell you one!"
\"Really?\"
Su Yafang was overjoyed upon hearing this!
Her beautiful eyes were filled with affection, and her cheeks were flushed.
"Senior Brother Zhang, name your price!"
Zhang Yuan had never sold Foundation Establishment Pills before and didn't know what price to set. After thinking for a while, he said, "You name a price!"
"Why don't you name a price?"
Su Yafang said carefully.
Zhang Yuan did the math. Su Yafang had just given him Ganoderma lucidum herbs worth 10,000 yuan, so he felt embarrassed to overcharge him. He held up three fingers and thought to himself, "I'll sell it to you for 3,000!"
My Foundation Establishment Pill was made using the method of the True Yang Immortal, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for a month. It is of better quality than ordinary Foundation Establishment Pills, and selling it for three thousand should not be excessive.
In the cultivation world, the price of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Pill is generally between 30,000 and 40,000!
Zhang Yuan's pill is definitely of top quality. A top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill costs at least 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, and it's even more expensive than available!
Therefore, she naturally assumed that Zhang Yuan holding up three fingers represented 30,000! She was overjoyed!
Say yes quickly!
"Thirty thousand?"
"I'll transfer the money to you right away. What's your bank card number? I'll transfer it directly via mobile banking!"
Su Yafang said anxiously, fearing that Zhang Yuan would change his mind.
Zhang Yuan: "Thirty thousand? Not three thousand?"
"Holy crap!"
The world of the super-rich is beyond my comprehension! Is poverty limiting my imagination?
However, judging from Su Yafang's appearance, it seems that it should cost 30,000 per pill?
He swallowed hard, then looked at Su Yafang with suspicion and tentatively asked, "Do you know how much one of these Foundation Establishment Pills usually costs on the market?"
Su Yafang: "It depends on the quality. Ordinary Foundation Establishment Pills generally cost 30,000 to 40,000 each, and better ones are even more expensive. However, apart from the occasional ones leaking out from the Pill Sect, it's basically very difficult to buy Foundation Establishment Pills."
Zhang Yuan gave a meaningful "oh," and then accepted the price of 30,000 yuan per piece with a clear conscience!
