Chapter 30: Medium-Grade Yuanqi Pill

ped magic treasure, how could an ordinary alchemy king possibly nurture such a terrifying treasure" 。“This, this I don't know either.” 。 Xiang Hua's face was innocent, he didn't know what happened eit..."I don't need it for now. I need some talismans to handle some things, and I don't have enough spirit stones on hand. When my business is done, if I still have spirit stones, I'll buy a pill furnace from you. Since your pill furnace is so good, why hasn't it sold" Lu Xia tian said.

Luo Qing was a little disappointed. She wrinkled her nose and sighed.

“Well, the problem is that this alchemy furnace is simply too good. My brother and I barely escaped with our lives from a dilapidated temple in the Wangu Mountain Range. If we sold it too cheaply, we wouldn't feel right about it. But there are very few alchemy apprentices and junior alchemists among free cultivators. A slightly less refined furnace would be enough for them, so they wouldn't need to spend too many spirit stones on this one. As for intermediate and senior alchemists, they are incredibly rare. They have long been recruited by the prominent families of Wangyue City. Those families have better furnaces, so they wouldn't come to buy this one either.”

To be frank, this alchemy furnace is just... mediocre.

Lu Xiaottian saw some recruitment information from the shops along the street. He generally knew that alchemist were a very popular group of people in Xiancheng. Even an entry-level alchemist who could refine Gathering Qi Pills was in high demand, after all, there were tens of thousands of cultivators in Wangyue City. Most of them were still in the early or middle stages of Qi Refinement, and those in the later stage of Qi Refinement and Great Perfection were a minority. As for Foundation Establishment cultivators, they were rare.

Therefore, for pills that can aid in cultivation, they are indispensable to cultivators. If one has enough pills, they can swiftly break through to the third level of Qi Refinement, or even higher realms. Everyone wants to reach the peak of Qi Refinement as quickly as possible, then prepare for Foundation Establishment. The younger one is, the greater the chance of successfully establishing a foundation.

"I believe it will definitely be sold soon."

“I hope so. The techniques you’re selling don’t seem very special. You need to call out and attract attention, otherwise, no one will buy them. Or maybe you have a finale treasure that attracts people to stay longer, giving you a bigger chance.” Luo Qing helplessly pursed her lips and then reminded Lu Xiaodao.

“Oh, thank you.” Lu Xia Tian thought for a moment, feeling that Luo Qing’s words made sense. Besides, this was Wang Yue City, with patrol soldiers around. There were also rules against fighting in the city, so there shouldn’t be much danger. Thus, Lu Xia Tian took out a small bottle from his storage bag and placed it next to several books of martial arts techniques, shouting loudly.

“Selling martial arts techniques, earth, fire, and water systems. From the early stage of Qi refining to the later stage, a complete set is for sale, plus one Yuanqi Pill. Those who wish to purchase, hurry up, once it’s gone, there won’t be any more.”

“What You actually have Yuandidan! And your kung fu also reaches the later stages of Qi Refinement” Before others could gather around, Luo Qing had already gasped in a voiceless whisper.

“Yeah, is there a problem” Lu Xiaodao said.

“No, no. How many spirit stones do you sell your earth-based exercises for” Luo Qing said.

"This complete set of Huitu Zhenjing is suitable for the late stage of Qi refining, costing thirty-three pieces of low-grade spirit stones," Lu Xia Tian said. He had checked the prices of Qi refining techniques in the shop before when he bought Lingcao Daquan and Yaoshou Jilu. None were below thirty pieces. A complete set usually cost around forty pieces of low-grade spirit stones. To save up enough spirit stones to buy talismans as soon as possible, he lowered the price quite a bit."

"Just so happens my elder brother reached the sixth level of Qi Refinement, he might be close to breaking through. He just needs a late-stage Earth attribute technique, could you wait for me a while I'll go call him over, it won't take long." Luo Qing requested.

"Alright, I'll sell these two sets first. Wait for half an hour." Lu Xia Tian nodded and put away the Earth System Hui Tu Zhen Jing.

Luo Qing hurriedly packed up the things on his stall, thanked the customers, and left in a hurry.

“Do you have any Yuan Qi Pills How many do you have” As soon as Luo Qing left, people began to surround him.

"There's only one, left to me by my master before he passed away. I don't need it now, so I have to sell it."

Lu Xia Tian made up a reason, pulled out the stopper of the pill bottle, and a strong fragrance wafted out.

"That's right, it's Yuan Qi Pill, and this aroma is so intense, it must be a mid-grade Yuan Qi Pill." A ruddy-faced, middle-aged man with a wine-soaked nose said excitedly after getting drunk.

"A middle-grade Yuanqi Pill" Suddenly, everyone in the room jostled forward. In Wan Yue City, middle-grade pills were mostly used up by wealthy and influential cultivators from prominent families.

Most medicinal pills that reach the market are low-grade. Don't underestimate the difference between high-grade and low-grade, though it's just one character apart. The effects are vastly different. If you're stuck at the seventh level of Qi refinement, using a mid-grade pill is much easier to break through than using a low-grade pill. The benefits are immeasurable.

"Boy, I'll take this pill. How many spirit stones" The old man with a runny nose had been stuck at the eighth layer of Qi refinement for ages. He desperately needed a good pill to help him break through. After visiting several pill shops, he finally found one he liked and wasn't about to let it go.

“Xu Laogui, spirit stones aren’t something only you have. Little brother, I’ll offer thirty spirit stones, give me the elixir.”

“Thirty spirit stones, buying a low-grade Yuan Qi pill is about right. Little brother, I offer thirty-five. I am Zhou Yu, a city guard officer in the lower city. Please make way for me.” Another cultivator dressed as an officer also squeezed into the crowd and bowed loudly to all sides.

“It's no harm for this old man to sell something face for Zhou Dao friend, but there is only one mid-grade Qi Dan. Zhou Dao friend, I apologize. Little brother, this old man offers thirty-six pieces of inferior spirit stones, hoping that everyone present won't compete with this old man.” At this time, a lean old man with black eyebrows reaching his chest also squeezed in and said in a low voice.

“Long-browed Demon!”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

A gasp echoed through the crowd, parting like a tide to make way for the old man with long eyebrows. Even Zhou Yu, the armored officer, displayed a hint of trepidation in his eyes. The "Old Demon with Long Eyebrows" was infamous throughout the region. Rumors abound about those who had crossed him; they were said to have vanished into the Moonlit Mountain Range and never returned. Some claimed they perished at the mouths of demonic beasts, while others saw the old demon himself lurking around, fueling speculation that he was responsible for their disappearances.

This officer still had some standing in the city, but outside the city walls, he might not be a match for this long-browed monster.

After the Long-Browed Demon spoke, no one around dared to bid again. Firstly, the price was already high enough, and secondly, offending the Long-Browed Demon at such a high price would be like having a thorn in their back after leaving Moonlit City – it wouldn't be worth it.

“Little one, the spirit stones are here. Just hand over the elixir pills.” Seeing that everyone around him was cowed by his aura and stopped bidding, the old monster with long eyebrows let out a triumphant cackle, throwing a bag filled with spirit stones to Lu Xiaoteng, then reaching out to grab the bottle of Yuanqi Dan.

Lu Xia Tian was secretly annoyed. This damn long-browed monster, if he hadn't appeared, the people around him would have bid higher, and he could have earned a few more spirit stones. He had actually been ruined by this long-browed monster's meddling!

However, even with so many Qi Refining Stage cultivators surrounding him, they all seemed to revere and fear him. He naturally didn't dare show any displeasure on his face, so he could only respectfully offer up the Qi Rejuvenating Pill.

As soon as the Yuanqi Pill was sold, the surrounding crowd dispersed. However, there were quite a few people just now. One person took a fancy to the complete set of fire-based martial arts he held in his hand. Seeing that the price was cheap, after bargaining, he bought it for thirty-two spirit stones.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Lu XiaTian thought about whether to take out another Yuan Qi Pill to sell and earn more spirit stones, and by the way, attract some attention. However, this idea was quickly dispelled. There were sixty-eight lower-grade spirit stones in his bag, which were heavy enough. Several people around him looked at him enviously, and two others had malicious looks in their eyes.

If one were not in the city, who knows what might happen. For cultivators at the early and middle stages of Qi Refining, sixty-eight spirit stones would already be a hefty sum.

Having thought this through, Lu Xia Tian abandoned the idea of continuing to sell Yuan Qi Pills.

"Brother, he's right here. He has a cultivation technique in his hand that can be practiced all the way to the late Qi Refining stage." Not long after, Luo Qing returned and brought back a young man with a national character face and a ring-headed spirit sword, but he was dressed quite poorly, only wearing simple, worn-out cloth robes.

“Lu Xiaoteng, this is my elder brother, Luo Yuan. He is now a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refinement.” Luo Qing had a proud expression on her face.

"Could you show me the martial arts techniques you have" Luo Yuan said.

"Of course," Lu Xia Tian nodded. Luo Yuan did not have an arrogant look because his cultivation was far superior to his, on the contrary, he was very polite. His slightly wooden expression would not make people feel disgusted, but rather gave a feeling of trustworthiness and reliability.

“The technique isn’t bad, but could the price be a little lower If it were a little cheaper, I’d buy it.” Luo Yuan said.

"Sorry, thirty-three spirit stones is already quite cheap. I just sold a set of fire-type martial arts techniques," Lu Xia Tian shrugged. Though he had a good impression of the man, he needed the spirit stones for important uses, so the price wouldn't be low.

Luo Yuan was so anxious he kept rubbing his hands together. "But we don't have that many spirit stones on hand. How about you give us a few more days I'll go find some friends in the city to gather some."

Luo Qing's eyes rolled as she said, "How about this What do you think of my alchemy furnace Although this furnace isn't easy to sell, in terms of actual value, it should be close to fifty spirit stones. Your cultivation technique at the shop would also sell for over forty lower-grade spirit stones. I'll trade you my alchemy furnace for your earth-element cultivation technique."

“But I’m short on Spirit Stones recently, and I need them urgently. How many Spirit Stones do you have” Lu Xia Tian hesitated a little. The black-robed old man had become a thorn in his side, and now that he had the chance to get rid of him, he didn't want to wait any longer.

“Gold and wood, these add up to twenty-one pieces.” Luo Yuan scratched his ear and said, if it was a few pieces short, he could ask other friends for help, but twelve pieces short, among the friends he knew, no one would be very generous. Others wouldn't buy martial arts techniques for him by emptying their pockets, lending two or three pieces already considered good friendship.

"Do any of you have talismans Fireball talismans, water arrow talismans, or anything else would do." Lu Xia Tian asked again.ons and immortals from both the demon realm and the fairy realm. Regardless of their cultivation level, has a deep reverence for the top-tier powerhouses in both the fairy realm and the demon realm....
