Translator: 549690339
Upper Spirit Peak, Spirit Pill Pavilion.
After finishing his class, Xu Fan ca to the Upper Spirit Peak, Spirit Pill Pavilion.
“What kind of Spiritual Pills would our guest like to buy? We have Grain Removing Pills, Little Spirit Pills, Clear Mind Pills, Detoxification Pills, and Body Strengthening Pills suitable for the Qi Cultivation Stage…”
“How much is your middle-grade Grain Removing Pill?” Xu Fan asked, not expecting that there would be so many elixirs just for the Qi Cultivation Stage.
“One bottle is 20 Spirit Stones, and it can sustain the needs of both food and Spiritual Qi for the Qi Cultivation stage for 10 days.” The staff at the Spirit Pill Pavilion quickly replied. These Grain Removing Pills were essential for Qi Cultivation disciples going out on tasks as their daily consumption was quite significant.
“Recently, I have refined a batch of middle-grade Grain Removing Pills, and I was wondering if you would be interested in purchasing them,” Xu Fan said.
“Yes, we would like to buy them. Please follow .”
The already enthusiastic staff beca even more respectful, bending his waist to invite Xu Fan to a VIP room. After serving the tea, he left the room.
In no ti, a middle-aged man with ordinary looks entered the VIP room.
“Fellow Daoist wants to sell Grain Removing Pills?”
The middle-aged man imdiately asked as soon as he ca in, his face showing a faint smile that appeared quite affable.
“Yes.”
Xu Fan did not say much but directly took out five ordinary jade bottles and placed them on the table for the middle-aged man to inspect.
“Hmm, rich pill fragrance, full of spiritual light, these are definitely middle-grade Grain Removing Pills.”
The middle-aged man inspected a bottle of elixir right away.
“How many Spirit Stones is your pavilion willing to offer?” Xu Fan asked.
“Don’t rush about the price. How does our friend feel about our Spirit Pill Pavilion?” the middle-aged man asked, looking at the five bottles of elixir with a gleam in his eyes.
What’s there to feel about? Is it not just buying so elixirs? Xu Fan complained inwardly.
“The elixirs you sell are quite good,” Xu Fan casually replied. I have never left the sect since my cultivation began, so how would I know how good your pavilion is?
Middle-aged man “……”
“In that case, are you interested in becoming a special contract alchemist of our Spirit Pill Pavilion?”
“There are no restrictions, and you can take alchemy tasks from our Spirit Pill Pavilion at your leisure,” the middle-aged man said directly.
“What are the benefits for ?” Xu Fan directly asked the core question.
“After signing the contract, our Spirit Pill Pavilion will offer a 20% discount on the spiritual dicines required for alchemy to our friend,” the middle-aged man said with a smile. Introducing a special contract alchemist to the Spirit Pill Pavilion could earn generous rewards, and it was a crucial part for future promotion as a supervisor.
“How about the purchase price of elixirs?”
“Half a grade higher.”
“Any other benefits?” Xu Fan continued to ask.
“Access to rare elixirs and Pill Formula not available elsewhere,” the middle-aged man said, showing remarkable patience.
“Alright, I can beco a special contract alchemist for your pavilion. But I have a request: you must keep my identity a secret,” Xu Fan thought for a mont and added. This point was crucial, and he had changed his appearance using a disguise technique before coming to the Spirit Pill Pavilion.
“Of course, all our special contract alchemists at the Spirit Pill Pavilion have their own aliases and titles,” the middle-aged man said understandingly. Sotis many alchemists prefer not to be ostentatious, hence the need for such a system.
At this point, the staff mber from earlier ca in with a plate holding a mirror-like artifact roughly the size of a mobile phone.
“This artifact can be used to receive alchemy tasks, as well as purchase spiritual dicines and post tasks,” he said.
Xu Fan took the artifact and infused it with a bit of spiritual qi. Many options soon appeared in the mirror: task area, communication area, and spiritual dicine area, with a small corner of the mirror indicating the user’s authority level.
Looking at the images in the artifact, Xu Fan suddenly felt sothing was off about the world.
“Once you drop your blood to recognize the artifact as your master and input a na, you can start taking tasks.”
In the end, the five bottles of middle-grade Grain Removing Pills were sold for a total of 75 Spirit Stones, which was much lower than Xu Fan had expected.
After discussing with the middle-aged man, Xu Fan bought a few commonly used pill formulas and their matching spiritual dicines for the Qi Refining Stage at the Spirit Pill Pavilion.
“The sa pill, but the alchemy techniques and thods are different,” Xu Fan said, puzzled as he looked at the pill formulas in his hands at his Alchemy Room in the Sect.
The most basic pill formulas were provided at the Spirit Pill Pavilion for free; among them was the Grain Removing Pill formula.
“I wonder what effects it will have if I use this pill formula to cultivate.”
Just as Xu Fan was about to start his alchemy, the restriction atop the mountain rang out a pleasant bell sound.
After opening the restriction, a rugged and wilderness-like figure, Wang Yulun, walked in.
“Have you been in the primitive forest for a month?” Xu Fan asked in confusion.
“I went hunting in the Heavenly Edge Forest, and I just got back today. I killed eight demonic beasts at the Qi Refining high layer and above.”
“The last two tasks for specific demonic beasts assigned by the sect were too difficult, so I ca back to rest,” Wang Yulun said. Over ti, Wang Yulun, who had gradually let go of his defenses and beca more relaxed after coming to Xu Fan’s territory, appeared much gentler.
“It looks like you have suffered quite a bit this month,” Xu Fan comnted as he scanned Wang Yulun’s body.
“Hmm, I have been hovering on the edge of life and death this month, and almost couldn’t make it back.”
“I can see that. What brought you here?” Xu Fan asked.
“I ca to see Brother Xu and ask for advice on how to deal with the last two demonic beasts.”
With his defenses down, Wang Yulun found a lounge chair and began to sprawl out, emulating Xu Fan.
“Have you encountered those two before?” Xu Fan asked.
“Yes, I’ve seen and even fought with them. If it weren’t for the techniques passed down by Xu Fan, I would have been long gone,” Wang Yulun said grimly, yet gratefully. Without Xu Fan, he might not have even been able to kill the first demonic beast at the Qi Cultivation 7th level.
“Tell about the characteristics of those two demonic beasts.”
Xu Fan waved his hand, and a tea table appeared in front of them. He then fetched a tea set and began steeping tea.
“One of them is an Earth Eating Demonic Beast with extraordinary defense and the ability to burrow into the ground. Once it senses danger to its life, it imdiately digs into the earth.”
“If you can’t break its defense and kill it instantly, it will quickly flee into the ground,” Wang Yulun said, rubbing his head in frustration.
“The other one is called Blood Wind Crimson Cat, which is incredibly fast. I can’t even detect its movent patterns. It tore several fatal wounds on with its sharp claws.”
“If it weren’t for the special Defensive Magical Artifact I had prepared, I probably wouldn’t be seeing Brother Xu now,” Wang Yulun said with a bitter smile. He had been thinking all along that if he were Xu Fan, how would he deal with these two demonic beasts.
“Brother Xu, how would you deal with these two?” Wang Yulun asked for advice.
“I wouldn’t confront them head-on. Even if I encountered them…”
Xu Fan laughed while saying, “They probably won’t be as fast as .”
“According to your description along with your combat talent, even if you exhaust yourself to death at the Qi Cultivation 4th level, you still wouldn’t be able to kill these two demonic beasts.”
“Sotis, victory in battle does not necessarily depend on your cultivation level or the strength of your techniques.”
“If brute force doesn’t work, then you have to use your brain.”
As Xu Fan spoke, he pointed to his own forehead.
