Chapter 31: The Value of Pills
It was night time, and we arrived at Sanshan Island, where the black market was located.
This island was originally nameless, but the casual cultivators who came and went named it Sanshan Island after the three low peaks on the island.
Sanshan Island is located in the eastern part of Donghu Island, stretching for dozens of miles, with dense vegetation and lush greenery. Three mountains stand tall and connected together, like a living mountain character.
The passenger ship gradually approached, and Fang Yun looked intently. The whole island was shrouded in thick fog. If there were no ferries to carry passengers, even if he knew the location, he would not be able to come here.
"What a majestic formation!"
No wonder he had to collect two spirit stones to get on the boat, Fang Yun actually felt that it was not a loss.
After landing, Fang Yun followed the crowd to the center of the black market center. When leaving, he could also take a ferry, but the port of delivery was fixed, and he would not go to the place he wanted to go.
Fortunately, the ferry point in the shantytown of Donghu Island where Fang Yun was located was also one of the fixed places for black market passenger ships.
Moreover, although the shantytowns of Donghu Island were in chaos, the number of cases of robbery and robbery was much lower than that of other places, and most cultivators still took the Li family's face into consideration.
So when Fang Yun went back, he could just take the passenger ship as usual.
Of course, if Fang Yun was in the late stage of Qi Refining now, he could control the magic weapon to fly into the sky and escape into the ground, and go anywhere.
It was not that he did not want to use the magic weapon to fly now, but because even the simplest method of controlling the weapon, such as the art of driving objects, requires the cultivator to reach the seventh level of Qi Refining before he could learn it.
There were also descriptions of the art of driving objects and advanced sword control in Taoist Mixing's notes. The notes recorded the second spell that could only be practiced after the foundation building.
One required the cultivation to the late stage of Qi Refining, and the other required the cultivation to reach the foundation building, neither of which Fang Yun could learn now.
I said so much because of his insufficient cultivation.
At this moment, Fang Yun followed the crowd and walked around the market first. Seeing the dazzling array of stalls and the cultivators coming and going was really eye-opening.
As long as they were not in a group of cultivators, most people walking alone would put on a posture of keeping strangers away. Fang Yun would naturally not rashly go forward to disturb others, but observe alone.
On various stalls, you can see a lot of good things. Most of those things exude a bloody smell, and even many stall owners look ferocious. Obviously, none of them are good people.
Since it is a black market, it is normal to sell things that come from shady sources.
Fang Yun wandered around with the mentality of understanding the market and gaining knowledge. This time he came to the black market, he planned to stay here for a day.
Most of the people who set up stalls are low-level casual cultivators, while some cultivators with higher cultivation still tend to sell or purchase goods in shops.
Of course, the shops here are not as formal as those in other places. While cultivators expose their wealth and take risks, they can also buy more good things.
As for the cultivators who set up stalls, some may be self-employed, and some are simply dumping some garbage and specializing in cheating people.
But it must be said that in the market, as long as there are various things that cultivators can use, there are almost everything.
Whether it is elixirs, exercises, magic tools, talismans, etc.!
Fang Yun walked slowly and came to a stall of a woman who looked about 30 years old. The stall of this woman was a mess, with all kinds of goods, including several veil magic tools and jade hairpin magic tools. Looking at the flashing spiritual light on them, they seemed to be first-level magic tools.
Similarly, there were several white jade bottles placed together, with a sign next to them. It said, White Jade Pill, Dehumidification and Detoxification, one spirit stone per bottle.
"Daoyou, do you want a bottle of White Jade Pill? My pills are good quality and cheap, very cost-effective." Seeing Fang Yun standing next to him for a while, seeing that he seemed to be interested in her pills, the woman immediately asked.
"Hehe, may I ask if you have Qingyang Pills or Shuixing Pills for sale? If so, how many spirit stones do you charge?"
"Qingyang Pills? Shuixing Pills? Daoyou are going to fish in the sea, or collect shellfish in the lake?" Seeing that Fengyun seemed uninterested, the woman asked.
"If I buy pills, will you ask me what I want to do with them? Just tell me if you have them. If you do, I'd like to buy some."
"No, I don't know how to make these two pills. You can go to Baicao Shop and ask. Generally, they sell Qingyang Pills for five spirit stones per bottle and Shuixing Pills for two spirit stones per bottle."
The woman frowned slightly, as if she saw something, and said, "If Daoyou wants to sell pills, you can also sell them directly to Baicao Pavilion. They have a good reputation!"
Fang Yun's face sank, and he seemed to feel his face getting hot. He said in a low voice, "Thank you for telling me. Unfortunately, I'm not an alchemist and don't have any pills to sell. Goodbye!"
Taking steps, Fang Yun left quickly.
"Qingyang Pills and Shuixing Pills are not hard currency, only some people have demand for them."
The main effects of the two pills are related to water. Fishermen who go out to sea to fish cannot do this job because they have weak yang energy and poor water ability. Without the help of pills, they are very easy to get hurt.
There is also a profession, the shellfish collector.
As far as Fang Yun knows, the Beixuan family in Nanwan Island is rich in spiritual shellfish and has a large shellfish farm.
Among the three islands, the Li family raises spiritual fish, the Yue family grows spiritual plants, and the Beixuan family raises spiritual shellfish.
Like the fish farmers of the Li family, the Beixuan family also has some specific professional workers, the shellfish collectors.
Spirit shellfish are not like red-eyed carp. Spirit fish can be caught by casting nets, but if you want to catch spiritual shellfish, you can only do it manually. Shellfish collectors mainly collect blood spirit pearls produced in spiritual shellfish.
Because the Beixuan family had insufficient experience in raising shellfish in the early years, many hidden dangers were left.
In the early days, a large number of spiritual shellfish escaped from the Beixuan family's shellfish field. These spiritual shellfish were not controlled by the Beixuan family and reproduced freely in the waters near Nanwan Island, becoming the maggots of Nanwan Island. They destroyed the island reefs and eroded the spiritual veins on the island, making the Beixuan family miserable.
At this time, a kind of cultivator profession came into being, that is, shellfish collectors. The casual cultivators who settled near Nanwan Island could hunt these spiritual shellfish wantonly. As long as they did not involve the shellfish field controlled by the Beixuan family, they would not only not stop them, but encourage them.
Therefore, in the past hundred years, the shellfish problem of the Beixuan family was finally curbed.
Most of these shellfish collectors were low-level casual cultivators. The two kinds of elixirs they had to take when they went into the water were Qingyang Pill and Shuixing Pill.
It was for this reason that Fang Yun proposed the names of the two elixirs, and the woman thought he was a casual cultivator who collected shellfish.
After learning about the market situation, Fang Yun felt uneasy. When he was refining the pills, he knew that these two kinds of pills were not hard currency that could increase cultivation, not like Lingyuan Pills and Huangya Pills.
It would take some time to set up a stall to sell them, but they are of high value and high profit, which is also certain. Although there are few people who need these two kinds of pills, these pills are rigid needs for certain people, and they will not be difficult to sell.
"Should I rent a stall to sell them alone, or directly exchange them with the pill shop?"
