The first volume debuts Chapter 17 Trading Pavilion
The space inside the Purple Destroying Stick is an imperfect little world. The Five Elements Venerable can see the outside world and can also emit spiritual thoughts to communicate with Li Xuanfeng. However, Li Xuanfeng has not yet cultivated spiritual consciousness, so he cannot take the initiative to contact the Five Elements Venerable.
The Five Elements Venerable has fallen, and only a wisp of soul remains in the Purple Annihilation Space. It survived because of the special nature of the Purple Annihilation Space and cannot directly come out of the Purple Annihilation Space to the outside world.
In the room of Huayue Garden, Li Xuanfeng sat cross-legged, the red flames on his hands kept jumping flexibly, the medicinal materials in the flames were spinning at high speed, the impurities were removed, leaving only the essence, which gathered and fused together, and then evenly divided into four parts to continue refining. His movements were smooth and flowing, and soon four round pills took shape in the spiritual fire.
Li Xuanfeng spent six days refining the herbs he bought and finally refined them into 50 pills. Among them, there were more than ten high-quality pills, thirty medium-quality pills, and ten low-quality pills. Most of them were Juling Pills, and a small part were Huiyuan Pills. They were packed separately in the pill bottles bought together with the herbs.
After the refining was completed, Li Xuanfeng began to practice. During the time of refining the pill, he had been using spiritual fire, which made his spiritual power increase very quickly. At this time, in the middle stage of the fusion of spirit, he had used the secret method of refining spirit to compress and condense it four times.
He took out a top-grade Spirit Gathering Pill and threw it into his mouth and began to practice. The pill entered his body and began to melt. Vigorous spiritual power released instantly, rapidly increasing the spiritual power that Li Xuanfeng had just compressed to half. It was replenished within ten breaths, and Li Xuanfeng compressed and condensed it again.
However, after this compression, the Spirit Gathering Pill in the body had not completely melted. It was only after the spiritual power in Li Xuanfeng's body was replenished again that it was completely melted and absorbed.
Li Xuanfeng immediately carried out the sixth compression and condensation. After this compression, Li Xuanfeng once again felt the feeling after three compressions in the early stage of Ling Rong. It could not be compressed anymore. The degree of condensation of spiritual power reached the limit of the middle stage of Ling Rong.
A Gathering Spirit Pill replenished the spiritual power consumed by Li Xuanfeng's compression and condensation twice, allowing him to compress twice in one day. If he had not had the Gathering Spirit Pill and had just absorbed it normally, it would have taken Li Xuanfeng ten days or even longer. Li Xuanfeng thoroughly experienced the effect of the pill on his cultivation, which made Li Xuanfeng, who wanted to improve his cultivation as soon as possible, unable to stop.
Li Xuanfeng took out the pill bottle again and was about to swallow another Spirit Gathering Pill to break through to the late stage of Spirit Rong in one breath.
The Five Elements Venerable directly scolded and stopped him: "You just took the Gathering Spirit Pill, and your cultivation level increased too quickly. You cannot take another one right away to break through to the late stage of Rong Ling. Your cultivation level has not yet been completely stabilized. Increasing it again will make your cultivation level unstable, and it may even affect future breakthroughs in your cultivation level!"
Hearing the rebuke from the Five Elements Venerable, Li Xuanfeng realized that he was indeed too impatient. It was recorded in the classics that unstable cultivation would affect the circulation of spiritual power and would make it impossible to exert one's own combat power!
So Li Xuanfeng put away the pill bottle, pushed open the door and walked out, preparing to go to the trading pavilion to sell the pills in exchange for spirit stones, and then buy some herbs for making pills.
The exterior of Xuanling Sect is composed of three towering peaks. The tops of the three peaks have been flattened into huge planes. A huge platform with an area equivalent to the three planes combined is suspended in the center of the three peaks. There is a rainbow bridge connecting the three peaks, allowing disciples to directly reach the central platform through the rainbow bridge.
At the center of the central platform is the sect master's palace. Huayue Garden is located inside the sect master's palace, separated from the surrounding pavilions by a formation.
There are countless caves under the platforms of the three giant peaks and the central platform, which are used by disciples for closed-door cultivation. On the platforms of the three giant peaks, disciples practice magic every day, and occasionally practice combination formations that require many disciples to complete.
The central platform can be said to be the life and transaction center of the disciples of Xuanling Sect. In addition to the palace of the sect master, there are also the food courtyard, the transaction pavilion, the formation pavilion, the martial arts courtyard and the medicine pavilion, which are used for the disciples to practice and communicate. Among them, the martial arts courtyard occupies the largest area, followed by the transaction pavilion and other pavilions.
Xuanling Sect has thousands of disciples. Although about half of them are in seclusion for cultivation, there are still a constant stream of disciples on the central platform every day, and the place is bustling with noise.
Li Xuanfeng came to the Trading Pavilion. There were many disciples coming and going here, but his arrival did not attract anyone's attention. The Trading Pavilion had three floors. The first floor was for sale, the second floor was for purchase, and as for the third floor, many disciples did not know what it was, and most of the time it was used to receive VIPs.
Li Xuanfeng went straight to the second floor, where there were three closed rooms and several open windows, with two receptionists in each window. On the windows were written herbs, pills, magic weapons, exercises, etc., and it was obvious that each item was separated for easy purchase.
Li Xuanfeng went straight to the window for elixirs and found that this window had the least number of disciples queuing up. What Li Xuanfeng didn't know was that the profession of alchemist was relatively rare, and most of the disciples who came to this window to sell were not alchemists, and they did not make the elixirs themselves.
Seeing Li Xuanfeng walking straight towards the medicine window attracted the attention of many disciples who had been paying attention to this window.
But as soon as they saw that it was Li Xuanfeng, they rejected the idea that he was an alchemist. They all thought that Li Xuanfeng came to sell the elixir given to him by the sect master, and they were envious and jealous. It was good to have a sect master, and there was no need to worry about cultivation resources.
The disciple who was at the medicine window also thought so and asked Li Xuanfeng calmly, "What medicine do you want to sell?"
Li Xuanfeng said nothing more, and took out a few pill bottles from his storage bag and pushed them to the reception disciple. The reception disciple casually picked up a pill bottle, poured out the pills on the pill plate, and began to taste them.
"Low-grade Spirit Gathering Pills, two spirit stones for one, ten in total, twenty spirit stones in total." Seeing that it was a low-grade Spirit Gathering Pill, the receiving disciple became even more disdainful and deliberately raised his voice.
"It's just a low-grade Spirit Gathering Pill. It seems that Li Xuanfeng is not valued by the sect master. I remember that his senior brothers and sisters all brought medium-grade pills or above." Hearing the voice of the reception disciple, the disciples who were paying attention nearby talked a lot.
"Twenty mid-grade Spirit Gathering Pills, each worth four spirit stones, a total of eighty spirit stones." The disciple who received the pills was a little surprised at the number of pills Li Xuanfeng took out. In the past, Li Xuanfeng's senior brothers and sisters would never take out so many pills at once when they came to sell pills.
"Ten middle-grade Huiyuan Pills, each worth four spirit stones, forty spirit stones in total." The surprise in the eyes of the receiving disciple deepened.
"He actually took out so many mid-grade elixirs. It seems that the sect master thinks highly of him." The disciples who were paying attention nearby couldn't help but gather around and watch, talking enviously.
"Five top-grade Soul Gathering Pills, five top-grade Yuan Hui Pills, and ten spirit stones for each, for a total of one hundred spirit stones." This time, the voice of the disciple who was receiving the ball was filled with shock, and the disciples watching nearby were even more stunned.
You should know that these two kinds of top-grade elixirs are relatively rare. Currently, only alchemists with higher qualifications in the sect can refine them, but they have disdained to refine these two kinds of elixirs, so the top-grade Juling Pill and Huiyuan Pill are very rare, and their prices are much higher than those of mid-grade elixirs.
Li Xuanfeng put away the 240 spirit stones given by the reception disciple and prepared to go downstairs to buy herbs for refining pills, but a disciple stopped him and asked, "Junior Brother Li, where did your top-grade pill come from? Was it given to you by the sect master?"
Just as Li Xuanfeng was about to tell the truth, the voice of the Five Elements Venerable rang in his mind: "Boy, if you tell it now, it will definitely cause shock. In the cultivation world, alchemists are a relatively rare and noble profession. If they knew that you have only learned alchemy for a few days and can already refine high-quality pills, they would probably be shocked."
"Please forgive me for not telling you." Li Xuanfeng clasped his fists and bowed, apologetically saying that he went downstairs. He was not a person who liked to be in the limelight, so in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, he decided to conceal his identity as an alchemist.
"What's so cool about that? He only got these pills with the help of the sect master, but he pretends that they were made by himself." Seeing that Li Xuanfeng refused to explain, some disciples were more certain that these pills were given by the sect master, and commented with dissatisfaction.
Li Xuanfeng came to the herb window on the first floor of the trading pavilion and bought a lot more herbs than last time. The layout of the first and second floors of the trading pavilion is basically the same, the only difference is that the first floor sells cultivation items.
Several disciples who followed Li Xuanfeng saw him buying medicinal herbs, and a hint of doubt flashed through their minds. Could this guy really be an alchemist?
But it was soon denied again. Some people speculated that he bought the herbs to give to the sect leader, who asked the master alchemist to refine them. So some people spoke again with jealousy.
"This kid is so lucky. The sect master actually invited an alchemy master to make pills for him."
