Chapter 353 Exchange
Qiu Hongyu said this, it seems that the elixirs sold in Qiandan Pavilion are divided into high, medium and low quality.
Seeing Xiao Lin's expression, Qiu Hongyu thought that this person had just advanced to the late stage of foundation building and had never really taken the third-level elixir. He probably didn't know enough about the quality of the third-level elixir.
So she smiled slightly and explained to Xiao Lin: "Actually, refining the elixir is the same as refining a magic weapon. Due to the differences in refining techniques, heat, age of the elixir, etc., the elixir is refined differently. They are also divided into different qualities.”
"The great alchemists of our Qiandan Pavilion are also divided into three categories: elementary, intermediate and high-level. Of course, the quality of the elixirs refined by these three categories of great alchemists are high or low. The difference lies in the quality of the elixirs refined. The probability of a panacea varies. ”
"So the elixirs sold by our Qiandan Pavilion are also divided into three categories: low-grade, medium-grade and high-grade. The prices of different categories of elixirs are also very different. Of course, the effect of high-grade elixirs in assisting cultivation is also the best."
"I see." A look of surprise appeared on Xiao Lin's face. He had always made elixirs by himself, consumed them for practice, and did not care about the grade of this elixir. Moreover, the Five Elements elixir he refined was of sufficient age. Five Elements Spiritual Grass, so the Five Elements Spiritual Pill refined from it is also among the top grade.
"What are the elixirs sold by your pavilion that can improve the cultivation of monks in the late stage of foundation establishment? What grades are they? Can you show Xiao?"
"Of course." Qiu Hongyu smiled slightly and took out a thin piece of silver metal from the storage bag, with the names of the elixirs written on it in ancient seal script.
"Jade Profound Pill?" Xiao Lin was shocked to see that among these elixirs there was the name of Jade Profound Pill. Xiao Lin's master, Su Qingyun, had given him a bottle of this pill before retreating.
This elixir is a genuine third-level elixir. For Xiao Lin at this stage, the effect is very obvious, and because the Yuxuan elixir has mild properties, it is more suitable for him to digest and absorb.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin pointed at the Yuxuan Pill and said, "But I don't know the price of this Yuxuan Pill?"
"Senior is really good at choosing. Yuxuan Pill is indeed the most suitable elixir for cultivators in the late stage of foundation building to assist their cultivation. It is also the best-selling third-level elixir in Qiandan Pavilion. It is often out of stock. However, Senior, don’t worry, our Qiandan Pavilion just received a new batch of Jade Profound Pills a few days ago.”
Seeing the expression of impatience gradually showing on Xiao Lin's face, Qiu Hongyu immediately stopped talking about irrelevant words and said: "There are two types of Yuxuan Pills sold in our Qiandan Pavilion. One is low-grade jade pills. The Xuandan is priced at 2,000 yuan per low-grade spirit stone, and the top-grade Jade Xuandan is priced at 4,000 yuan per low-grade spirit stone.”
Xiao Lin was secretly stunned when he heard the price of the Jade Profound Pill. Although he had predicted that the price of the third-level elixir would not be cheap, he was still shocked when he learned its true price.
The second-level Five Elements elixir only costs about a few hundred yuan per low-grade spirit stone. Among the third-level elixirs, the relatively inferior low-grade Jade Mysterious Pill actually costs 2,000 yuan per low-grade spirit stone. The upper-grade elixir costs even more. It costs four thousand pieces of low-grade spiritual stones.
Even Xiao Lin feels that this price is a bit unaffordable. His current total worth is about four to five million yuan of low-grade spiritual stones. Calculated in this way, even if all of it is used to buy Yuxuan Dan, he can only buy a hundred and eighty yuan at most. Ten pills.
These one hundred and eighty Yuxuan Pills help complete several cycles of several large and small circles, that is, nine days. Even one hundred Yuxuan Pills can only last less than three years of practice.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel speechless. This spiritual pill was really ridiculously expensive. A few Jade Profound Pills could basically be exchanged for a finished spiritual weapon.
However, Xiao Lin didn't know that for late-stage Foundation Establishment and Great Perfection cultivators, it was rare for them to purchase third-level elixirs to assist their cultivation. On the one hand, the price was unaffordable, and on the other hand, even if they could Even if you buy a few pills and take them, the effect may not be obvious.
Usually they will only take one pill when they break through the bottleneck, so as to slightly increase the chance of success.
Since Xiao Lin started cultivating, he has been constantly borrowing spiritual pills to assist his cultivation. It is said that if you are not a master, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. How can he know the hardships of ordinary cultivators when he has the spirit tree space.
"But I wonder if your pavilion sells elixirs in addition to various elixirs." After thinking for a while, Xiao Lin asked.
He happened to have the Hunyuan Dan in hand. If he could get the recipe for the Hunyuan Dan, he could collect the elixir himself and refine the Hunyuan Dan. In this way, he would not need to spend a high price to buy the magic pill. .
After hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Qiu Hongyu's pretty face, but then she shook her head: "Our Qiandan Pavilion only sells spiritual elixirs, not elixir prescriptions. Of course, if someone sells elixir prescriptions, Our Qiandan Pavilion will exchange the corresponding elixir according to the value of the elixir."
Hearing this, Xiao Lin suddenly had an idea and showed a hesitant expression on his face. After a moment, he reluctantly took out a jade box from the storage bag and placed it gently on the table.
"I wonder if I can use this spiritual grass in exchange for the elixir?"
There was a trace of surprise on Qiu Hongyu's face. She looked at Xiao Lin, then gently tore open the spirit-sealing talisman on the jade box, opened the jade box, and revealed a five-leaf grass inside, exuding a faint fragrance. Aura.
"Hundred Spirit Grass?" Qiu Hongyu exclaimed, his pretty face full of surprise.
But soon Qiu Hongyu sighed softly, closed the jade box again, and shook her head: "We have a rule in Qiandan Pavilion. No matter how high the price is, we will not exchange it for the recipe."
Hearing this, Xiao Lin was also full of helplessness, but this was also within his expectations. For a large store like Qiandan Pavilion that specializes in various spiritual pills, it is natural to treasure the recipe as a treasure.
I am afraid that unless you are a core member of Qiandan Pavilion, you will not be able to access the recipe. After all, the recipe is the basis for its operation.
"However, if the senior is willing, you can use this Hunling grass to exchange for the finished spiritual pill." Seeing the disappointment on Xiao Lin's face, Qiu Hongyu said.
"But I don't know how many Yuxuan pills this Hunling grass can be exchanged for?" Although it can't be exchanged for the recipe, it would be good if it can be exchanged for some spiritual pills. After all, Xiao Lin still has a lot of spiritual herbs.
Like this Hunling grass, he has already picked dozens of them.
Among the third-level spiritual herbs, a considerable number of them do not reproduce by flowering and fruiting, and this Hunling Grass is also the same. However, Hunling Grass reproduces by splitting its rhizomes. In comparison, Hunling Grass is a relatively easy-to-obtain spiritual herb among the third-level spiritual herbs, except for the Yuji Grass used to refine Yuxuan Dan.
The main reason why Yuxuan Dan is more common on the market is that the Yuji Grass used to refine Yuxuan Dan can be planted from seeds, and Yuji Grass also grows in the Tianhan Mountains.
If you are lucky, you can still pick it in the Tianhan Mountains, and whether it is old or not, there are some shops that purchase it. Even the six major sects will purchase some Yuji Grass that is not old enough and plant it in the third-level spiritual fields of the sects.
"This Hunling grass of yours is nearly 500 years old. If you use it to refine Hunyuan Pill, the success rate will be much higher. We, Qiandan Pavilion, are willing to purchase it at the price of six top-grade Yuxuan Pills per plant."
"Okay, I'll change it." Xiao Lin said, and took out two jade boxes from the storage bag and placed them on the table.
However, Qiu Hongyu did not show any surprise, but the smile on her face became more and more intense.
Xiao Lin was not surprised by this. As the manager of Qiandan Pavilion, Qiu Hongyu's cultivation was not high, but she was obviously quite familiar with the habits of various spiritual herbs. She knew very well that this Hunling grass was born from cracked roots.
Usually there would not be only one plant, and the number was at least two or more, which was why Wu Daozi wanted to test Xiao Lin at that time.
It was just that Xiao Lin took out two more plants at once, which was still a bit beyond Qiu Hongyu's expectations, but this also made Qiu Hongyu even more happy.
......
Half an hour later, Xiao Lin walked out of Qiandan Pavilion with a depressed face. Three Hunling grasses were exchanged for a total of 18 Yuxuan pills, but Xiao Lin knew very well that if he had the recipe of Hunyuan Pill, as long as he could improve his alchemy skills to the level of a great alchemist.
The number of Hunyuan Pills that can be refined from three Hunyuan grasses is far more than 18, at least more than 30, and the Hunyuan Pill is more effective, and the price is much more expensive than Yuxuan Pill.
However, for Xiao Lin, there is no way around it. In this world of cultivation, the recipe of the pill is strictly controlled by some sects and large shops, forming a certain degree of monopoly.
For cultivators, even if they get one or two spiritual herbs by chance, they will not choose to use them to refine pills. They usually sell them in exchange for spiritual stones or various cultivation resources.
And businesses like Qiandan Pavilion can make a huge profit by refining these spiritual herbs into spiritual pills.
In addition to exchanging three Hunling Grass for eighteen Yuxuan Pills, Xiao Lin also spent seven thousand low-grade spirit stones to buy two Yuxuan Pills, making a total of twenty. Qiu Hongyu gave him a discount before buying them.
This also made Xiao Lin understand that ordinary foundation-building cultivators really cannot buy a large number of spiritual pills to assist in their cultivation. It is estimated that most foundation-building cultivators can only improve their cultivation by absorbing and exhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
This process will undoubtedly be much slower.
Twenty Yuxuan Pills, if they are a little more frugal, can barely meet the cultivation of half a year, and Xiao Lin is not in a hurry. Before he came here, he changed his appearance through the secret technique of mirror transformation. After the Yuxuan Pills are consumed, he can completely exchange Hunling Grass for some spiritual pills.
Although doing so will cause Xiao Lin to lose a lot and make a business like Qiandan Pavilion earn a lot of money, there is no other way. Who made him not have a pill formula that can be used to refine spiritual pills immediately?
