Chapter 237: Three Birds, with Money
Compared with the hodgepodge of the first Fengshan Market, the second market was much more professional.
According to the different commodities, the whole market is divided into seven areas, which are connected to each other, so that the monks who participate in the market do not have to waste time looking around.
Needless to say, in the Spirit Stone area, this thing is rarely used by ordinary cultivators, and all the sects go there to buy it. But the other areas are much busier.
For a cultivator to practice, in addition to the skills and secret techniques he uses, magical instruments and elixirs are absolutely indispensable. Just like playing a game, the former represents equipment, and the latter provides various buffs.
Although not every cultivator is keen on fighting, if they want to practice for a long time, they must travel all over the world, firstly to increase their knowledge and secondly to look for opportunities.
As for the Ku Mu Territory today, it is only slightly safer because the Immortal Alliance is in charge in the East. Once you go to the Southern Wilderness, the Northern Territory and the West Sea, the cultivation environment there will be much more complicated.
You may not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others.
"All the pills here are provided by Sanque Mountain. You don't have to worry about the quality. Master has told us that as long as you can find a bottle of inferior pills in Sanque Courtyard, Sanque Mountain will compensate you tenfold."
At the entrance of Sanqueyuan, a pretty female disciple, who was elegantly dressed, never tired of emphasizing the issue of quality to fellow Taoists who came in to buy elixirs.
In this elegantly decorated courtyard, there were prepared stalls outside each room. Almost all the disciples of Sanque Mountain came out and placed various kinds of elixirs made by their master on the tables.
There are also specially arranged disciples who are eloquent and explain the effects and uses of the elixirs to the Taoist friends who stop in front of the stalls .
Needless to say, basic elixirs such as the Soul Gathering Pill and the Rejuvenating Pill are very useful. San Quezi has benefited since joining the Fengshan Society. Jiang Xia allowed him to withdraw a large amount of immortal money in advance to buy various elixir recipes.
Therefore, this time Sanque Mountain provided many more types of elixirs.
"I have never seen this medicine before."
A female cultivator in the late Qi training stage stopped in front of a stall, holding a purple porcelain bottle in her hand. She put the scarlet medicine in the bottle under her nose and sniffed it.
A rare pungent smell with the aroma of honey and flowers surprised the female cultivator. She looked at the disciple of Sanque Mountain in front of her and asked politely:
"What is this pill called? And what effect does it have?"
“Fairy, this elixir is called Tiger Strength Pill. It is a rare elixir recipe that my master spent several months searching for in the northern border. It is rarely seen in the entire eastern land, and it is the first time it has appeared in the territory of our Fengming country.
Its effect is also very simple.”
The disciple exaggerated the origin of the elixir, picked up a pill, carefully cut off one tenth with a silver knife, handed it to the fairy, and said:
“Taking this medicine can increase your spiritual power, strengthen the power of various spells, and increase your brute force. It is also suitable for body cultivators. Its effect lasts for two incense sticks.
However, after using it, one will feel temporarily weak and tired, so it is a pill to be used for risking one's life.
Fairy can try it first.
This trial is free of charge.”
At this time, there were more than ten people gathered by the stall. Everyone was curious about the new pill. The fairy who asked for the price was also very generous. She took the pill for trial and put it in her mouth.
The taste was a bit spicy, but as the heat flowed into the body, after a few breaths, the spiritual power around the female cultivator surged like waves, bringing with it waves of anger around her.
The beautiful eyes of the fairy, who felt the spiritual power flowing in her body, were also filled with strange brilliance.
"Not bad, not bad."
She nodded and said:
"One pill can increase your spiritual power by 30%. It is a good thing to protect yourself at the risk of your life. Give me ten pills!"
The disciple responded with joy, and soon, an exquisite wooden box containing ten pills was delivered to the fairy, with the stamps of Fengshan Market and Sanque Mountain on it.
The clever disciple pointed to the stall next to him and said to the generous female cultivator:
"Fairy, the Jade Qiong Pill sold over there is the same as the Tiger Strength Pill, both are used to protect one's life, but its effect is to strengthen the five elements defense within two incense sticks.
Taking it can act like a protective magic, greatly reducing the power of spells hitting the body, and it can also strengthen the bones and resist the effect of sharp weapons. According to my master, taking these two pills together can allow our generation of cultivators to avoid disasters.
In addition, our academy also sells the anti-aging elixir that our master painstakingly prepared a few days ago. It is most suitable for Taoist friends like the fairy who are in their prime.
Once you take it, your beauty will stay, and time will not invade you. One pill can keep you young for thirty years."
"Um?"
When the female cultivator heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up. She turned around, bowed to her fellow Taoists, and quickly walked towards the stall selling the Rejuvenating Pills. However, there were already many female cultivators gathered there, making it the most popular place in the courtyard.
From beginners to true practitioners, even witches from the Southern Wilderness were attracted here.
From this we can see that for women, whether they are mortals or monks, the pursuit of beauty is always the first criterion.
But there are also monks who do not follow the usual path.
For example, those male wizards in the Southern Wilderness, they are not very interested in ordinary elixirs, because the practice of wizards is different from that of monks. They learn from the spirits to worship the holy spirits of heaven and earth, and also receive mysterious inheritance.
The spiritual power in their bodies is generally much stronger than that of the cultivators at the same level. Pills that replenish qi and blood are really of little use to them. As for the Tiger Power Pill and Jade Qiong Pill, they do not need them either.
Their witchcraft techniques are usually launched inadvertently, and they kill in a secretive way, and they will not easily engage in head-on combat with others.
However, the Southern Wilderness Wizard also found what he wanted in the Sanque Courtyard.
"This Six Poison Pill is really well made!"
The old wizard and the old witch, who had talked outside the valley before, were now sitting in a stall at the edge of the yard where no one came, carefully tasting the black pills in their hands that emitted a foul and fishy smell.
The old woman took the poison pill in her hand and examined it, and commented very professionally:
“Taking the poisons of the five elements, and then using natural poisons as medicine guides, it gathers the essence of the six poisons and is the best poison. This witch thought that this six-poison pill only existed in my Southern Wilderness, but never thought that the Eastern Land cultivators also made such a treasure.
Just use this pill in conjunction with my Southern Wilderness witchcraft and sorcery, and you can kill a thousand people in the blink of an eye.
Not bad, not bad!
"Brother, the six poison pills you have here are all top-grade, I want them all!"
The wizard beside her nodded repeatedly, and asked the surprised Sanqueshan disciple in an accented tone:
"Excuse me, little brother, do you have any other miraculous medicine like the Six Poison Pills? Now that you are here, please bring them out to let this witch take a look."
"Hey, please wait a moment, seniors!"
The young man was assigned to buy the miracle medicine. There was no customer all morning and he was in despair. However, he did not expect that these two wizards from the Southern Wilderness would save him.
Seeing that the visitor was so generous, the young man immediately perked up, went back to the room, and soon came out carrying a box.
He opened the box in front of the two wizards, and suddenly a strange and foul smell mixed together, making the monks in the nearby stalls glare at him, but the two wizards felt as if they had smelled a strange fragrance from heaven and earth.
I suddenly became energetic.
“This pill is called the Hemolytic Pill, and it is also a top-quality poison pill made by Master. There is also this pill, called the Senluo Pill, which is used in conjunction with illusion and can summon the illusion of a hundred ghosts.
There is also this strange medicine, called the Netherworld Poison Pill, which is so toxic that after my master made one pill, he didn't dare to make a second one. This medicine can only be used by masters of poison skills!"
“Yeah, yeah, they’re all good stuff!”
The two Southern Wilderness wizards had wrinkled faces full of surprise. Without saying much, they used the immortal money in their hands, added some spiritual materials and fine items from the Southern Wilderness, and bought all the poison pills on the stall.
After that, the old woman still felt unsatisfied. She leaned on her dragon-headed crutch and asked again:
"Poisons are good, but they are common things. Since Sanque Mountain is famous for alchemy, do you have any rare treasures to sell?"
"this……"
This originally unlucky disciple of Sanque Mountain thought that he would get nothing from this trip, but unexpectedly, he got lucky and was the first one among all his fellow disciples to complete the "sales task".
Hearing the distinguished guest's question, he hesitated a little, but when he thought of the two generous people in front of him, he moved his mind slightly, looked around, lowered his voice, and said to the two Southern Wasteland wizards:
“If you two really want something good from the poison path, why not go to the Duobaoyuan Auction House at the hour of Xu tomorrow? But you need to prepare some immortal money in advance. My master has been in seclusion for two months refining the Huitianbao medicine, and he blew up eight alchemy furnaces but to no avail.
As a result, he accidentally created a kind of... 'poison spirit'."
"Um?"
The two wizards looked at each other for a moment, without saying much, bowed to the young man, and left in a hurry.
This poisonous spirit.
In fact, it is not an elixir. It is a by-product of the alchemy process. It is often a special spiritual body that is born in places where poisonous spiritual energy is highly condensed.
It does not have much intelligence, but it can recognize its master with its spirit and soul, just like a spiritual beast or fairy pet.
Because it can continuously produce poisonous spiritual energy, it is an excellent aid for any cultivator who practices poison skills.
But this poisonous spirit is somewhat different from the five elements spirits.
It is rarely born naturally, and is often created by alchemy masters. There are few alchemists in the Ku Mu Realm, and even fewer who practice poison pills, so poison spirits are naturally rare.
In the past, the spirit bodies of elixirs such as poison spirits were monopolized by Danding Sect, one of the thirty-three sects of the Immortal Alliance. They would release one or two of them every few years, and the price...
Tsk tsk, anyway, ordinary cultivators can only think about it in their dreams at most.
With Sanquezi's cultivation at the True Realm, the poison spirit he accidentally refined was naturally not very high-end and could not be compared with the high-level poison spirits of the Danding Sect.
But for the two wizards who are both in the realm of truth, such low-level poisonous spirits are just right for their use.
Moreover, there are few poison cultivators in the local area, and it is very likely that they will not be able to get a high price at the auction. This is a good opportunity for the two of them to get a bargain. As for how to distribute it after the auction, that is a matter for the future.
However, this Fengshan Market is clearly just a regional market that has only been open for two sessions, yet it has such a rare treasure...
Well, I was hesitant before whether to pay a large amount of money to join the Fengshan Society. Now it seems that there is no need to hesitate. I can spend some money and buy a way that will help my practice.
Not a loss.
——
"Today's harvest... Oh, it's really amazing."
At dusk on the first day of the market, Sanquezi got the income and expenditure account book from Sanqueyuan. He had been frantically refining pills in the past few months, trying various new recipes, and almost spent all the savings of Sanque Mountain over several decades.
Whether this wave of market can take off will directly determine the fortune of Sanque Mountain in the next ten years. To be honest, Sanquezi is also unsure.
However, the moment he saw the account book, Sanquezi, who had a sage-like appearance, immediately felt relieved.
On the first day alone, he sold a small half of the pills he had refined. The proceeds were enough to renovate the Sanque Mountain Sect from top to bottom, buy a few more protective formations, and even have a surplus.
Based on this kind of profit, three days later, when the market closes, his Sanqueshan will definitely become one of the richest sects in the local area.
This San Quezi had been a simple-minded person all his life, but now that he was finally getting rich, he began to feel a little shaken. He put down the account book, turned it around a few times, and thought deeply.
The poison spirit that was accidentally created will make another fortune after it is auctioned tomorrow...
"Um."
Ma Tishu looked around, then stealthily took out a communication stone, injected spiritual energy into it to activate it, then coughed a few times and said to the other side:
"Is the Yuanjing Dan furnace that I inquired about the price for a few days ago still available?"
A lazy voice quickly sounded from the communication stone.
explain:
"Yes, yes, Fellow Daoist Ma, have you finally made up your mind? Oh, I have said before that for an alchemist like you, a good alchemy furnace is the foundation of life.
Our Hongyan Club also found a top-grade Yuanjing Danlu with great difficulty, and there are many people seeking to buy it. It is only because Fellow Daoist Ma is a regular customer of the club that we are able to reserve it for you for a few days."
"Um."
Marty pursed his lips and said:
"I am indeed interested in purchasing that good alchemy furnace, but the price is, can it be lowered? If it can reach 20,000 immortal coins, I will..."
"No need to say more."
Before Ma Tishu could finish his words, the door was pushed open. Old Jiang walked in with his hands behind his back and a red face. He dodged the communication stone in Ma Tishu's hand and said to the other side:
"Xiao Ya'er, prepare the alchemy furnace for my fellow Daoist Ma, and send it to Sanque Mountain as quickly as possible. I will pay for it."
"Oh, Brother Pigeon is really quick to act."
Xiao Yaer over there laughed and said:
"It has been arranged. Thirty-three thousand and forty pieces of Chenghui Immortal Coins. I wish you two Taoists a smooth cultivation. Hongyan will serve you wholeheartedly."
The voice of the communication stone became lowered.
Old Jiang played with the communication stone in his hand and said to the three birds in front of him:
"I'm not saying anything bad about you, Fellow Daoist Ma. You're already one of the three great leaders of our Fengshan Society. Why are you so frugal when it comes to spending money on your own cultivation? Okay, let's not talk about this anymore.
Let's get down to business."
