Chapter 532: Chapter 314: Selling Pills

Spirit Treasure Workshop!

After days of asking around, Xu Yang considered this to be the most reliable place.

In smaller places like the counties, the reputation of Spirit Treasure Workshop was not as resounding as Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. However, in Yunzhou City, the class of Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion could not compare to Spirit Treasure Workshop. Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion did business with all kinds of things, but Spirit Treasure Workshop only dealt in Spiritual Object level treasures. Even Half-Spirit Soldier Level items would not appear in Spirit Treasure Workshop.

It was said that the background of Spirit Treasure Workshop was not rooted in Yun Province, but was rather a branch opened in Yun Province by factions from other provinces.

The magnificent Spirit Treasure Workshop appeared before his eyes!

Xu Yang looked up. This branch of Spirit Treasure Workshop had six floors in total. With its flying eaves and bracket sets, it was ornately decorated. The entire building was inscribed with mysterious runes, slowly absorbing the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth.

He walked up the steps to the cavernous entrance of Spirit Treasure Workshop. Taking a step inside, an abundant wave of Spiritual Qi washed over his face. The Spiritual Qi inside Spirit Treasure Workshop was actually even denser than outside. The first thing that caught his eye was a spacious hall and several tea lounges. As for goods or shelves, he did not see a single one.

"Welcome to Spirit Treasure Workshop!" ten beautiful women standing on both sides of the main door called out crisply.

Not far away, a woman wearing a green dress stood up and strolled over. Her black hair flowed like a waterfall, tied behind her back, with two strands hanging down by her earlobes. Her facial features were as picturesque as a painting, her skin as white as snow. Her exquisite face was impeccable, carrying a touch of alluring charm. In terms of looks alone, she was a peerless beauty no less stunning than Liu Rumei, and only slightly inferior to Ye Qiuling.

"Welcome to Spirit Treasure Workshop. I am Yan Bing, honored to be the Shopkeeper of this Spirit Treasure Workshop. May I ask if you are here to buy or sell?"

The woman’s voice was Light Spirit; upon hearing it, it actually made one’s blood pump a little faster.

He thought, "A charm art?"

Xu Yang’s Spirit remained as calm as a deep pool. He said peacefully, "I want Dragon Beard Root and Tiger Soul Red Sun Fruit. May I ask if Spirit Treasure Workshop has them in stock?"

"We do!" Yan Bing extended her hand. "Please follow me, sir."

A faint, fragrant breeze greeted his nose as she walked elegantly in front, leading Xu Yang into a tea lounge. A maid came in and poured Xu Yang a cup of clear tea.

"May I ask how much you need?" Yan Bing asked.

"I’ll take three portions of each," Xu Yang said.

He was not afraid of drawing attention, because he was not showing his true face at this moment. He was wearing the human skin mask obtained from the Ghost Tower assassin.

Hearing this, Yan Bing’s eyes lit up slightly. As the Shopkeeper of Spirit Treasure Workshop, she naturally knew that Tiger Soul Red Sun Fruit and Dragon Beard Root were the two main ingredients for refining the Dragon Tiger Great Golden Pill. Asking for so much at once, could this man before her be a Pill Master?

"Dragon Beard Root is one spirit coin, and Tiger Soul Red Sun Fruit is two spirit coins. If you have no objections to the price, I will immediately order someone to fetch the items."

Big places truly were different; he was able to easily purchase so much Spirit Medicine. In Fufeng County, outside Purple Sun Sect, even if you had all the money in the world, you wouldn’t find a place to buy Spirit Medicine.

Xu Yang nodded. "I don’t have spirit coins. Can I pay with Spirit Iron?"

"You can!" Yan Bing nodded.

Xu Yang took out the few pieces of Spirit Iron he brought. Finally, after deducting the cost of the Spirit Medicine, Yan Bing gave him three spirit coins in change.

He thought, "This thing is indeed forged from a mixture of various Spirit Irons."

It was Xu Yang’s first time seeing a spirit coin. He held it in his hand and observed it carefully, finding that it was indeed forged from a mixture of multiple Spirit Irons. Its Spirituality was also much richer than ordinary Spirit Iron. A sense of craving transmitted from his body, as if it couldn’t wait to absorb the Spirit Iron Essence inside the spirit coin.

Having smoothly obtained the Spirit Medicine, Xu Yang was still somewhat cautious after walking out of Spirit Treasure Workshop. He released his Heart Spirit completely, but did not discover anyone tracking him. All at once, his favorable impression of Spirit Treasure Workshop increased significantly. As long as they didn’t pull any tricks, he would likely continue buying Spirit Medicine here in the future. Of course, the main reason was probably because the Dragon Tiger Great Golden Pill could not be considered a powerful Elixir.

They might just be playing by the rules because his value wasn’t high enough yet. He didn’t think too highly of Spirit Treasure Workshop just yet. That Yan Bing, using a charm art to test him, was absolutely no pushover.

With spirit coins, the remaining auxiliary medicinal ingredients were very easy to buy.

Five days later, all three batches of Dragon Tiger Great Golden Pills were completely refined. His luck was pretty good; from the three batches of Elixirs, he refined a total of thirty-two Dragon Tiger Great Golden Pills. Two of the batches produced eleven Refined Pills each.

After meditating to adjust his condition to its peak, Xu Yang left the house with the Dragon Tiger Great Golden Pills.

The Elixir was refined, but he still had to exchange them for spirit coins. This step was also the most troublesome and dangerous one. A Pill Master who could refine the Dragon Tiger Great Golden Pill was, to many factions, a machine capable of continuously earning spirit coins.

He thought, "I have to sell them separately. If I take out over thirty Dragon Tiger Great Golden Pills all at once, even a fool will know that I refined them."

Xu Yang pondered as he entered a roadside Elixir shop. Although selling them separately was troublesome, its advantage lay in safety.

"Shopkeeper, may I ask if you purchase Dragon Tiger Great Golden Pills here?" Xu Yang asked.

The other party smiled, looked up, and said, "We do. Five thousand taels of silver for one."

Xu Yang shook his head. "I don’t want silver. I want spirit coins."

"Spirit coins are also fine. Three pills for one spirit coin."

Three pills for one spirit coin. After recovering his costs, he wouldn’t make much of a profit at all.

He visited a few more shops in a row, and the prices given were all about the same. Only then did Xu Yang realize that the information he had gathered before was incorrect. On the market, the Dragon Tiger Great Golden Pill was indeed two pills for one spirit coin, but that was the price if one sold it themselves. If he wanted to sell the Dragon Tiger Great Golden Pills to these shops, they couldn’t possibly purchase them at the market price, leaving them with no profit at all.

Of course, another factor was that the quantity he wanted to sell was too small, so they couldn’t be bothered to raise the price. If he sold dozens of pills to a single shop, he would naturally have the leverage to negotiate. It was just that doing so would put him at great risk of attracting trouble.

He thought, "The Dragon Tiger Great Golden Pill is still too low-end!"

Although the main ingredients of the Dragon Tiger Great Golden Pill were Spirit Medicine, it was essentially an Elixir of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm. Trying to use this kind of thing to earn spirit coins was still somewhat inadequate. Spirit Medicine was everywhere here, which made it easy to sell. But relatively speaking, the Dragon Tiger Great Golden Pill was no longer highly sought-after either. He feared that all the capable Pill Masters in Yun Province had gathered here.

Entering yet another shop, Xu Yang saw that the old Shopkeeper here was very amiable, so he took the initiative to ask where the prices might be a bit better. The other party actually told him about a place called Wu Family Castle.

That was a free trading market, a favorite place for Pill Masters and Weapon Forgers who lacked factional backing. They could directly sell the items they refined there, and the prices were relatively higher. A Dragon Tiger Great Golden Pill could sell for one spirit coin for every two pills.

Of course, the downside was also obvious: one had to set up a stall and sell them personally. How many they could sell in a day depended entirely on luck. In terms of safety, it was absolutely safe inside the market, but once outside, it was hard to say. As for why the market wasn’t established in the city, it was naturally because the major factions in the city wouldn’t allow these unaffiliated Pill Masters and Weapon Forgers to steal their livelihoods.

Naturally, Wu Family Castle didn’t just have Elixirs and Weapons. The shops in the city suppressed the purchasing prices of external goods. By skipping the middlemen and selling directly to those in need at Wu Family Castle, the prices for all kinds of things would be higher.

He thought, "It’s actually just a black market, but unlike the black market of the Purple Sun Sect Outer Disciple, this black market is managed by people. Inside the black market, safety is guaranteed."

For buyers, the prices there were a bit lower. For sellers, the prices there were a bit higher. As long as you could bear the risks, whether buying or selling, Wu Family Castle was more cost-effective than the city.

He thought, "It’s quite a nice place, actually."

If he had known about this place earlier, he probably wouldn’t have bought the Spirit Medicine at Spirit Treasure Workshop, and would have gone to check out Wu Family Castle first. Having bought the Spirit Medicine at a high price, it would be a miracle if he could make money after selling the pills.

No longer trying his luck at other shops, Xu Yang left the city. Half an hour later, he saw Wu Family Castle at the foot of a mountain. This place indeed looked like a market, with quite a few people coming and going. After paying an entry fee of ten taels of silver, Xu Yang smoothly entered Wu Family Castle, and soon saw the trading market on a piece of flat ground.

Unlike the black market, the people here all looked normal. Xu Yang couldn’t tell if they were wearing human skin masks, but there were almost no instances of people wrapping themselves entirely in a Conical Hat or a face veil.

Compared to the black market, this place was indeed much more formal. At the very least, one didn’t have to worry about the things they bought being stolen goods. It was said that if you wanted to sell things here, you had to register, precisely to prevent the place from becoming a fence for stolen goods.

The variety of goods here was also very complete. There were people selling Spirit Medicine, Exotic Beasts, Elixirs, Weapons, Spirit Iron, and even Cultivation Techniques. There were those who set up stalls for one-off deals, and there were also those who had opened shops.

Xu Yang took a stroll around. Although he was very envious of those Spirit Medicines, his main goal right now was to sell the Dragon Tiger Great Golden Pills in his hands to obtain spirit coins to cultivate the Vajra Glazed Body.

He found a market manager, registered his information to sell Dragon Tiger Great Golden Pills, and after paying a stall fee of thirty taels of silver, he obtained a spot.

After thinking for a moment, he picked up a brush and wrote on his stall’s sign: "Top-grade Dragon Tiger Great Golden Pill, nine pills for four spirit coins."

He had taken a rough look just now; the Dragon Tiger Great Golden Pills here were all two pills for one spirit coin. He didn’t have the time to sell them slowly here, so earning a little less was fine.

Just as he put down the brush, a middle-aged man stepped forward to ask, looking extremely skeptical. "Are these really Top-grade Dragon Tiger Great Golden Pills? Why would Top-grade Dragon Tiger Great Golden Pills sell for so cheap?"

This person wore a plain robe, his hair tied up high, and his face was somewhat pale.

"Sir, if you are sincerely looking to buy, you may inspect the Elixir’s quality," Xu Yang said with a smile. "I am simply in urgent need of spirit coins, hence selling them at a low price."

For his Elixirs, every batch yielded over ten Refined Pills; naturally, they were all Top-grade Elixirs.

"Of course I want to buy. Take one out for me to see."

Xu Yang nodded, opened the Jade Bottle, poured one out, and placed it on his hand. A rich Elixir fragrance immediately permeated the surroundings.

"A Top-grade Dragon Tiger Great Golden Pill!"

"It really is! To think it’s selling so cheap."

The people around were all attracted and gathered over. A Dragon Tiger Great Golden Pill of this quality was much better than what was sold elsewhere.

"Can you guarantee that the rest are all of this quality?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Sir, after paying, you can inspect them one by one. If there is even one whose quality doesn’t match this one, you can reject it," Xu Yang smiled.

"Give me nine pills!"

The man directly slapped four spirit coins onto the table.
