Chapter 28 Tongmai Pill
Feilai Peak.
The sound coming from the corner of the trading platform was too abrupt and out of place with this quiet platform, but the effect was also very obvious and it instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Top-grade hemostatic pill?"
The things that man was selling made many disciples look suspicious. They all needed hemostatic pills to some extent. Even those who did not go out on missions would carry a bottle with them just in case.
But the hemostatic pills they bought were mostly mid-grade, and the better ones they bought from the sect's regular channels were only top-grade. As for the top-grade hemostatic pills, they had never seen them , let alone heard of them. Aren't these inferior, low-grade pills used for alchemy apprentices to practice? What quality of pills can alchemy apprentices make? This also led to the fact that top-grade hemostatic pills were even rarer than some high-grade pills.
Most people scoffed at such boasting. By chance, a disciple who needed to buy a hemostatic pill walked up to the masked stall owner wearing a cloak and asked suspiciously, "Do you really have a top-grade hemostatic pill?"
The stall owner handed a pill bottle to the young disciple in front of him and said with a smile: "This senior brother will know after taking a look."
The young disciple took the pill bottle and poured out a pill from it. When he saw the five beautiful patterns on the round pill, he couldn't help but stand there in a daze.
It really is a top-grade hemostatic pill...
"Give me a bottle!"
This young disciple is often on external missions, and hemostatic pills are a must-have for him. He is very familiar with them. The effect of a top-grade hemostatic pill is more than twice that of a mid-grade hemostatic pill, but its price is almost the same. How can he miss this?
Li Yu happily accepted the spirit coins, feeling that he still needed to have a skill.
He and Jiang Li had not saved up a hundred spirit earned enough from this bottle of elixir. No wonder they said that high-level alchemists were all wealthy. In the world of cultivating immortals, there was no profession more popular than that of an alchemist.
Once there was a buyer, there was soon a second.
Although the hemostatic pill is just a low-grade medicine, but if you add the word "top-grade" in front of anything, the meaning will naturally be different.
More and more people gathered in front of the stall, and exclamations continued to be heard.
"Five pill patterns, it's really a top-grade hemostatic pill!"
"This is the first time I've seen a pill with five danwen."
"I've learned a lot. I always thought that top-grade elixirs were just legends..."
"I, I'll have a bottle."
"I'll have one, too."
…
Hemostatic pills were extremely popular among the disciples who often went out to take on missions. After a while, only one bottle was left out of the several bottles of pills refined by Li Yu. Two disciples were fighting over the last remaining bottle.
“This is what I saw first.”
"Why, this fellow Taoist, you know the principle that the highest bidder wins, right? I'll offer 110 spirit coins."
"Aren't you an alchemist yourself? What do you want the hemostatic pill for?"
"This is a top-grade hemostatic pill. Can't I keep it?"
A disciple and an alchemy apprentice started competing for the bottle. In the end, the alchemy apprentice successfully bought the last bottle of hemostatic pill at the price of one hundred and fifty spirit coins. He held the bottle of pill in his hands as if he had found a treasure.
Refining a top-grade elixir with five danwen is an alchemist's highest pursuit in life.
He did not believe that this young disciple could refine a pill of this level. Behind him, there was at least a third-grade or even fourth-grade alchemist. He would keep this bottle of pill produced by the master forever as a spur to himself.
Li Yu didn't care what the buyer thought, he had already filled his bag with spirit coins.
At this moment, he was extremely grateful to Senior Sister Xu. He felt that he had made the right choice in the path of alchemy.
After selling all nine bottles of elixirs, Li Yu left directly. With such a huge sum of money, he didn't have to worry about being robbed. This was inside Kunlun Cave Heaven, which was as safe as it could be.
However, to be cautious, after leaving Feilai Peak, he wandered around for a long time before returning to Danding Peak, where he changed his clothes and went out again to a certain mountain.
This peak is called Zixiao Peak, and the sect’s market is built on it.
The Zixiao Peak Market is different from the three-no products sold on the street stalls at Feilai Peak. It is located on the mountainside. The magnificent shops sell genuine resources. Here, you can buy Kunlun Sect's elixirs, Maoshan Sect's talismans, Qingcheng Sect's magic tools, and Tianji Sect's mechanical puppets. If there is any problem with the goods, they can also provide after-sales guarantee...
Of course, the things here are also more expensive.
Li Yu still felt it was safer to buy the second-level elixir like Tongmai Dan here. If something went wrong after taking the inferior elixir, it would be too late for him to regret.
Danxin Pavilion.
Li Yu stood in front of a building shaped like a furnace. After hesitating for a moment, he stepped in.
This shop has a large space inside and has more than a dozen counters. There are people busy working in front of each counter.
After Li Yu entered the store, a figure walked out from a counter and asked with a smile, "Senior Brother, what kind of elixir do you need?"
The person who spoke to him was a young girl dressed in the attire of a Kunlun disciple. She was quite pretty, and spoke timidly. It was obvious that she was a new disciple who had just joined the sect.
Looking at the disciples who were responsible for greeting customers at other counters, they were all handsome men and beautiful women. Li Yu guessed that if it were not for Senior Sister Xu's arrangement, he and Zhou Zixuan would most likely be assigned here when they entered the sect.
Li Yu cleared his throat and said, "I want a Tongmai Pill."
The girl said gently, "A top-grade Tongmai Pill costs one thousand spirit coins, and a mid-grade Tongmai Pill costs only eight hundred. Which one do you want, brother?"
Li Yu didn't think for too long and said, "I want a top-quality one."
Although the mid-grade Tongmai Pill cost two hundred spirit coins less, it contained more poison and would take a lot of time to detoxify, so Li Yu still chose the top-grade one.
After the girl counted the spirit coins, she said, "Brother, please wait a moment."
She returned to the counter and walked into a room behind the counter. After a while, she came out with an exquisite jade bottle in her hand, handed it to Li Yu, and said, "This is a top-grade Tongmai Pill. Please keep it, Senior Brother."
Li Yu opened the stopper of the jade bottle and immediately smelled an intoxicating fragrance of elixir.
In the jade bottle, there is a thumb-sized milky white pill. The pill is round and has three dan patterns on it. It is undoubtedly a top-grade pill.
After putting away the pill, Li Yu couldn't wait to return to Danding Peak and his own courtyard.
He took out the pill bottle and poured out the pills inside.
There was a small mark of an elixir furnace on the elixir bottle, indicating that it was a product of Kunlun. Li Yu did not hesitate and put the elixir into his mouth.
The pill melted in the mouth, turned into a stream of clear water, and began to flow through the body.
Li Yu felt the flow of the clear stream. Suddenly, his expression changed and he blurted out, "Hey, no, no, no, not there, come back!"
Unfortunately, the clear stream was not under Li Yu's control and rushed straight into the water spirit vein.
Of the 72 acupoints in the Water Spirit Meridian, after the Yu Fu acupoint, his Yu Zhong acupoint was also opened.
This made Li Yu feel so miserable that she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
The acupoints were opened, but they were not quite what he had imagined.
Li Yu wanted to open up the fourth acupuncture point of the Fire Spiritual Vein, but Tongmai Dan chose the second acupuncture point of the Water Spiritual Vein. Although the increase in mana would be the same no matter which acupuncture point was opened, he had to build a foundation...
As long as all the 72 acupoints of the Fire Spirit Vein are not opened, he will not be able to build the foundation. If the goal is to build the foundation as quickly as possible, then this Tongmai Pill will be taken in vain.
Only then did Li Yu understand why others only cultivated one spiritual vein.
Taking Tongmai Pills is like opening a blind box. If there is only one spiritual vein, naturally only one spiritual vein can be opened to the end. With more spiritual veins, there are more choices. Others only need seventy-one Tongmai Pills to open the last acupoint, but Li Yu depends on luck.
He had opened up three spiritual veins. If the Tongmai Pills were to be used evenly, impartially, one for fire, one for water, and one for wood, he would have to take more than two hundred pills...
One Tongmai Pill is one thousand spirit coins, how much are two hundred pills...
Li Yu felt a black screen in front of his eyes...
