Chapter 822 Wantong Pavilion

As for selling pills, it was even more troublesome. It just so happened that it was not so easy to find customers who needed pills, especially those who bought Juyuan Pills were generally Jindan cultivators. Qingyang, a fourth-level foundation-building cultivator, would not necessarily suffer much loss by dealing directly with Jindan cultivators.

Before he knew it, Qingyang came to the store of Wantong Pavilion. He first asked about the price of the materials. The price was similar to the price he had heard from outside. Ten parts of the materials for Yangyuan Pills required thirty-three spirit stones, and ten parts of the materials for Juyuan Pills required about three hundred and forty spirit stones.

Yangyuan Pills were slightly better. Qingyang could refine four out of ten parts of the materials, which could be sold for thirty-eight spirit stones, earning a profit of five spirit stones. However, he could only refine an average of 2.5 out of ten parts of the materials for Juyuan Pills, which could only be sold for 238 spirit stones, a loss of 102 spirit stones. At this rate of loss, the tens of thousands of spirit stones on him might not last long.

Even if there are a lot of spirit stones, they can't be wasted like this. At this time, Qingyang finally understood why it is so difficult for a private alchemist to grow up, and only a big force can cultivate one. Because the more you refine, the more you lose, but if you don't refine, your alchemy skills won't improve, this is a dead cycle.

Qingyang didn't have a good solution for the time being, but the matter of refining Yangyuan Dan couldn't be delayed. Qingyang could only grit his teeth and buy 300 portions of Yangyuan Dan materials and 30 portions of Juyuan Dan materials first.

Remembering that he still had 11 Juyuan Dan on him, Qingyang walked to the pill purchase area after buying the materials. These 11 Juyuan Dan were made by Qingyang in Duanmu City to improve his alchemy skills. At that time, more than 100 portions of materials were consumed. Qingyang was still far from the Golden Pill realm. These pills would not be used for decades, and it would be a waste to keep them on him. It would be better to sell them to Wantong Pavilion and see if he could negotiate the price with the other party as an alchemist.

There are not many alchemists among the cultivators, and even fewer are willing to come here to sell pills at a low price. The pill purchasing area of ​​Wantong Pavilion is not very large, and it is deserted. There are almost no people to be seen. The clerk behind the counter is almost dozing off.

"Are you buying pills here?" Qingyang came to a clerk and said.

This clerk was only in the late stage of Qi Refining. Seeing that Qingyang was a foundation building cultivator, he immediately became energetic and said quickly: "Buy, of course, not only Qi Refining, but also Foundation Building Pills. We buy pills. Senior, what kind do you want to sell?"

"What is the price of Juyuan Pill?" Qingyang said.

"Juqi Pill? Our purchase price is 95 spirit stones per 100 pills, which is already a conscience price among the large stores in Qingyan City. It's not that we don't want to open higher, but we also need profits to survive..." The clerk responded casually.

Halfway through the conversation, the clerk suddenly realized something was wrong and exclaimed, "What? Juyuan Pill? Senior, are you talking about Juyuan Pill?"

Being able to work as a clerk in the Wantong Pavilion's shop, this person can be considered knowledgeable, but in his impression, the most common thing sold by foundation-building cultivators is usually Juqi Pills, and only those with more advanced alchemy skills can refine Yangyuan Pills for sale. As for Juyuan Pills, he has never heard of any foundation-building cultivator who can refine them. Because it is too difficult for a private alchemist to grow up, there are very few who can keep up with the cultivation level, not to mention those whose alchemy skills exceed the cultivation level.

Qingyang understood why the other party was so surprised, and did not mind, but nodded lightly at the other party and said, "It is Juyuan Pill."

Seeing Qingyang nod, the clerk finally confirmed that Qingyang was talking about Juyuan Pill, but he quickly found a way out for himself. Does the person who sells pills have to refine them himself? Maybe this pill was refined by someone's elders, and he just asked him to sell it on his behalf. Even so, this person cannot be neglected, because there is an elder Dan Wang standing behind him.

Thinking of this, the clerk bent his waist even lower and said repeatedly: "Please forgive me, it's not that I intentionally neglect you, but I suddenly heard about the Juyuan Pill and was a little too surprised. Juyuan Pill is a big business, I can't make the decision, senior, wait a moment, I will notify the manager."

Juyuan Pill is a pill taken by Jindan cultivators. One pill is worth about 100 spirit stones. Whether in terms of price or the level of the pill, this is an absolute big business. It is not something that a small Qi Refining Period clerk like him can make the decision. Let alone other things, he can't do the quality appraisal of the pill, so he can only ask the manager to come.

At the same time, the clerk also arranged for another clerk to take Qingyang to the second floor of Wantong Pavilion, sat down in a reception room, served fragrant tea and waited for the manager to arrive.

Wantong Pavilion was very efficient. In less than a cup of tea, two people came together. On the left was a white-bearded old man with a perfect foundation-building cultivation, and on the right was a young woman with an eighth-level foundation-building cultivation. Although the white-bearded old man had a higher cultivation, judging from the old man's slightly respectful attitude towards the woman, the woman's status and position were obviously much higher than that of the white-bearded old man.

When the two came to Qingyang, the old man took the initiative to say, "My surname is Sun. I am in charge of purchasing elixirs in Wantong Pavilion. I wonder what your name is."

Qingyang said, "I am Qingyang."

"So it's Fellow Daoist Qingyang, please sit down!" The steward Sun made way.

After Qingyang sat down, Steward Sun and the woman also sat down. Steward Sun was the one who spoke from beginning to end. The woman never spoke, nor did she take the initiative to introduce her identity. Perhaps there was some taboo, so Qingyang didn't pay much attention.

After both parties sat down, Qingyang took out a bottle from the Nawu Talisman and handed it to Manager Sun. All eleven Juyuan Pills were placed inside. Manager Sun took the bottle in his hand, carefully opened the lid, sniffed it first, and then used his mind to probe the side. Then he carefully poured out a Juyuan Pill from the bottle and held it in his palm to observe it carefully.

After observing for a long time, Manager Sun raised his head and said to Qingyang: "The quality of the pill is relatively average. It should be made by a beginner who is not proficient in alchemy. However, it has reached the standard of Juyuan Pill. You can buy it at the price of Juyuan Pill. I will give you 95 spirit stones for each pill. Eleven pills are a total of 1,045 spirit stones. Are you satisfied, fellow Daoist Qingyang?"

Ninety-five spirit stones for a Juyuan Pill, this price is a bit low. If you find the right person, Juyuan Pill can be sold for at least 100 spirit stones. For some cultivators in urgent need, a higher price is acceptable. However, Wantong Pavilion is a business, and it is impossible to follow the market price completely. Although the spirit stones are a little less, it can save a lot of trouble for itself. The difference of a few spirit stones is still acceptable.
