Chapter 240 Two Years

Zhao Dapeng looked happy. There were two thousand spiritual stones and one hundred Xuanqi pills in the storage bag. It was enough for him, a monk at the eighth level of qi training, to practice for a long time.

"Thank you, Elder Xia, for the reward. I will spare no effort to fulfill the elder's instructions."

Elder Xia nodded slightly, and instead of putting the black coffin into the storage ring, he dragged it with one hand and walked out.

After leaving the secret room and coming to the courtyard, she summoned a flying boat and drove away.

After sending Elder Xia away, Zhao Dapeng hurried out of the small courtyard. He wanted to find Ren Yazi in the market and ask them to bring over some strong ordinary men or martial arts practitioners.

Song Wen finally understood when he saw this scene.

Zhao Dapeng's cultivation of living corpses was actually instructed by the Beast Control Sect.

In the past, I saw Zhao Dapeng bullying the orphans and widowers next door in order to find a wife for his younger brother.

At that time, Song Wen still felt that he was pretty good to his own brother.

Maybe he was driven by profit; or maybe Zhao Dapeng was tired of taking care of his stupid younger brother over the years, so he chose to use cruel methods to refine his younger brother into a living corpse that was neither human nor ghost.

During the three years of cultivating living corpses, his stupid brother had been tortured, cruelly. If it were a sane person, I am afraid that he would have been unable to endure the torture and would have chosen to commit suicide.

But why does the Beast Control Sect spend so much time cultivating living corpses?

Also, what is that aura on the living corpse that combines corpse energy and life?

After taking a short rest, Song Wen continued to refine the elixir.

He first tried to refine the violent blood pill.

Song Wen took out the newly purchased Huang Jingzhi and was preparing to make elixirs when he suddenly thought of it.

There are also thousands of special Huangjingzhi plants in his storage ring that contain vitality.

These Huang Jingzhi are different from ordinary ones and do not seem to be suitable for use in alchemy.

Recalling the scene where Silver Corpse's body showed streaks of blood after refining more than a hundred special Huang Jingzhi, Song Wen made a decision in his mind.

He decided to use all Huang Jingzhi to warm and nourish the silver corpse, and there might be unexpected surprises.

...

One month later.

Song Wen walked into the ‘Liu Xia Dan Pharmacy’.

This is the largest elixir store opened by the Beast Control Sect in Donghuafang City.

When Song Wen entered the store, a beautiful maid came to greet him.

"Senior, what kind of elixir should I buy?"

Song Wendao said, "I don't buy elixirs, I'm here to sell them."

"May I ask, senior, what elixirs are you going to sell?"

"Xuanqi Pill."

The maid said, "Senior, wait a moment. The Xuanqi Pill is a first-class high-grade elixir. I don't have the authority to decide whether to purchase it. I'll ask the steward to come over."

A moment later, under the guidance of the maid, an old man with white beard came towards Song Wenxing.

"Fellow Taoist, I heard that you have Xuan Qi Pills for sale?"

Song Wen nodded and touched the storage bag on his waist. A jade bottle appeared in his hand.

The old man with white beard showed a kind smile.

"Fellow Taoist, don't be impatient. Come with me to the study for a detailed discussion."

Under the leadership of the white-bearded old man, the two quickly arrived at an elegant study room.

After sitting down, the white-bearded old man said.

"Fellow Taoist, please take out the Xuanqi Pill. Before the transaction, I need to check the quality of the pill."

Before buying elixirs in a store, you should check the quality of the elixirs. This is common sense in the world of immortality.

Song Wen was convinced and handed the jade bottle to the white-bearded old man.

The white-bearded old man took the jade bottle and poured out a pill.

The elixir is pure in color, rich in spiritual energy, and carries a refreshing fragrance.

The white-bearded old man smiled.

"The elixirs refined by fellow Taoist are of good quality. If all the Xuanqi pills in your hands are of this quality, our Liuxia elixir store will want them all."

Song Wen raised his hand and waved, and two more jade bottles fell on the low table in front of him. Together with the bottle he handed to the old man before, there were a total of thirty Xuanqi pills in the three jade bottles.

The white-bearded old man checked the elixirs in the other two jade bottles and then spoke.

"Each Xuan Qi Pill is worth five spiritual stones. I wonder if you are satisfied with the price?"

Song Wen frowned slightly when he heard this.

On the market, the price of Xuanqi Pill is about ten spirit stones each.

The elixir store purchased it with five spiritual stones, and within one purchase and sale, the profit would be doubled.

The cost of refining a furnace of Xuan Qi Pill is about twelve spirit stones.

For an ordinary first-level alchemist, the success rate of refining Xuanqi pills is about 50%, and one furnace of Xuanqi pills can produce six pills.

Calculated, the cost of refining one Xuanqi Pill is about four spirit stones.

The alchemist worked hard to refine the elixir, but the profit from each Xuanqi pill was only one spiritual stone, which was far less profitable than the profit from selling elixirs in the elixir shop.

Song Wen shook his head, "If fellow Taoist is only willing to pay the price of five spiritual stones, then I will have to find other buyers."

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Wen decided to put away the three jade bottles.

"Fellow Taoist, wait a minute."

The white-bearded old man stopped him hastily.

"Fellow Taoist is not satisfied with the purchase price. We can discuss it again. How about six spiritual stones?"

Song Wen continued to shake his head.

"Seven spiritual stones. It cannot be higher. This is the highest price I can give. In the market, the alchemists who have cooperated with us all year round can only get this price."

Song Wen sat down again and took out three more jade bottles.

"make a deal!"

Song Wen's identity as an alchemist was only used to hide his identity from others, and he did not rely on it to make a living.

The price offered by the old man was quite appropriate, so he no longer struggled with the other party.

What's more, Song Wen didn't have time to set up a stall to sell Xuanqi Pills.

"Fellow Daoist is straightforward."

The white-bearded old man put away the three jade bottles, took out two hundred and ten spirit stones, and handed them to Song Wen.

"I am Ning Feng, may I ask what your name is?" After the transaction, the white-bearded old man asked with a friendly face.

"I am Yan Feng, and I am honored to meet you, Fellow Daoist Ning."

"I know all the alchemists in the market who can refine Xuanqi Pills. Seeing that you look unfamiliar, I guess you are new to Donghua Market?"

"I just came to Donghua Market a month ago. I hope you can take care of me in the future."

Ning Feng stroked his silver beard and smiled warmly.

"Master Yan, don't worry. I still have some face in this market. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me. I will help you in any way I can."

Song Wen bowed his hands, "Thank you, fellow Daoist."

"Five days later, there will be an exchange meeting for alchemists in the backyard of Liuxia Dan Pharmacy. Master Yan, do you want to attend?"

"Thank you, fellow Daoist Ning, for inviting me. I will definitely attend on time."

......

For the next two years, Song Wen practiced in the market with peace of mind.

He had no shortage of spirit stones, and did not need to go out and take risks to search for the resources needed for practice. In addition, he did not provoke trouble. Even if trouble occasionally fell on his head, he would avoid it if possible. In the past two years, his life was peaceful.

In the past two years, he participated in several alchemist exchanges hosted by Ning Feng, met some independent alchemists, and mastered the refining techniques of three new first-level elixirs. His alchemy skills became more and more proficient, and his understanding of alchemy became more and more profound.

After more than two years of precipitation, the hidden dangers of the "Changsheng Gong"'s spiritual power being empty and the unstable foundation have been basically eliminated.

But his research on the "Blood Burst Pill" has not yet succeeded.

There are only four Polygonatum odoratum plants per month, which seriously restricts his progress in developing the Blood Burst Pill.

In two years, only a hundred attempts have been made.

It is worth mentioning that a year and a half ago, Song Wen bought a suitable strong poison from a casual cultivator on the black market.

After coming to Donghuafang City, he has been busy refining blood and qi pills to improve the cultivation of "Changsheng Gong", which has caused the "Ten Thousand Poisons Mixed Original Body" to be abandoned.

This time, after buying the right poison, he can finally start practicing "Ten Thousand Poisons Mixed Original Body" again.
