Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world
Chapter 188 This is a secret that requires extra money!
Chapter 188 This is a secret that is not passed on...you have to pay extra!
Qingyu Town is thousands of miles away from the westernmost tip of Yanlai Kingdom.
Unlike the Righteous Alliance which is in the midst of war, Qingyu Town looks peaceful and tranquil.
Lin Chen walked in the market of Qingyu Town and saw that mortals and cultivators lived together in the town, which seemed to be a peaceful place.
The cultivation level of the cultivators in the town is not high, most of them are only in the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages.
This was the first time that Lin Chen left the territory of the Righteous Alliance. He was very interested in the local specialties, so he strolled around the market.
After walking around for half an hour, Lin Chen discovered that the most famous specialty in Qingyu Town was "gambling on jade"!
That is, gambling on jade.
Logically speaking, for a cultivator, it should be very clear whether there is jade in a jade stone by using his spiritual sense to detect it.
But the special green jade produced in Qingyu Town is made of a special material that can block spiritual consciousness.
Even the spiritual consciousness of Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators cannot see through it.
Lin Chen tried it. With his cultivation of Seven-turn Golden Core and Tianyan Jue, which was close to the Nascent Soul stage, he still couldn't see the condition of the jade inside the green jade.
"Ordinary jade is not very valuable to cultivators..."
"But the jade produced from the green jade is chalcedony... It is extremely beneficial to the cultivation of cultivators!"
"One ounce of chalcedony is worth a thousand ounces of gold..."
Lin Chen kept thinking in his mind, and thought about the several tons of chalcedony he had obtained, which were still gathering dust in the storage bag.
Just as Lin Chen was thinking, a cry of surprise suddenly came from all around.
"Open, open!"
"Full of jade! Oh my god, this jade has produced at least ten taels of chalcedony, which is worth a thousand spirit stones! This Qi Refining Stage kid... is really lucky!"
"Tsk tsk, a thousand spirit stones! There's even hope for the foundation-building pill, what a turnaround!"
At the entrance of this gambling stone shop, the monks who were watching showed their amazement and envy without concealing it.
The Qi-refining cultivator who had opened the chalcedony had a rosy face and danced with excitement.
His jade was nothing but scrap worth three spirit stones and was not well regarded.
After the results came out, the value increased three hundred times!
This is the charm of gambling on stones, which is a huge temptation for these casual practitioners.
Soon, a voice was heard from the crowd.
"My fellow Daoist, this chalcedony... our Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce will take it for one thousand spirit stones. Would you like to sell it?" A young man in luxurious clothes walked out.
After hearing this, the Qi Refining Monk nodded and said, "Sell it, I'll sell it!"
So, after paying the money and receiving the jade, the monk went straight into the alchemy shop in the market.
Lin Chen looked at this scene thoughtfully.
He looked at the monk beside him and asked in a low voice:
"Fellow Daoist... Although this chalcedony is precious, isn't the price too high for ten ounces of chalcedony and a thousand spirit stones?"
After hearing this, the noble young man who bought the chalcedony looked at Lin Chen for a few times, smiled and said:
"My fellow Taoist, have you just arrived in Qingyu Town?"
"The reason why chalcedony is so expensive is naturally because it is a treasure for alchemy!"
"The two special medicinal pills of Qingyu Town, the Jade Marrow Qi-boosting Powder and the Jade Marrow Bone-forging Pill, are both worth a fortune..."
After hearing this, Lin Chen blinked and bowed:
"Thank you fellow Taoist for reminding me."
Afterwards, Lin Chen walked around the market for a few more rounds and found an inn where he stayed for the night.
……
The next morning, Lin Chen went to the largest Chamber of Commerce in Qingyu Town.
In this Chamber of Commerce, Lin Chen saw the two elixirs that the elegant young man had mentioned before.
Jadeite Invigorating Qi Powder is a special Qi-invigorating pill.
Lin Chen saw the two medicinal pills on the shelf, called the Chamber of Commerce manager and asked:
"Fellow Daoist, I heard that the Jade Marrow Qi-boosting Powder and the Jade Marrow Bone-forging Pill are both top-grade elixirs... I wonder how much they are for sale?"
The manager took a look at Lin Chen and saw that Lin Chen had an impressive demeanor, but he couldn't see through his cultivation level.
So he said respectfully:
"My fellow Daoist, one Jade Marrow Qi-boosting Pill is fifty spirit stones."
"As for the Jade Marrow Bone Refining Pill, it costs three hundred spirit stones per pill..."
After hearing the price, Lin Chen frowned slightly.
The prices of these two kinds of elixirs are too expensive...
Seeing Lin Chen's unnatural expression, the manager quickly explained:
"Fellow Daoist, the effect of this Jade Marrow Qi-boosting Pill is several times that of ordinary Qi-boosting Pills. It is extremely helpful for the cultivation of not only Qi-refining cultivators, but also Golden Core and even Nascent Soul cultivators."
"The only pity is that Yucui Yiqi Powder has drug resistance. The effect is very good when it is first taken. But after taking a thousand pills, the effect drops significantly until it has no effect..."
"If there is no limit on the number of times it can be taken, the price of this Jade Marrow Qi-boosting Pill would be much more than just fifty Spirit Stones!"
Lin Chen blinked after hearing this.
It is effective for the cultivation of Jindan and even Yuanying cultivators... Different from ordinary elixirs that assist in cultivation?
"So, this Jade Marrow Invigorating Qi Powder is a secret medicine?"
"Well, if it's a secret medicine... fifty spirit stones per piece isn't that expensive..."
Lin Chen thought silently in his heart, then pointed at the Jade Marrow Bone Strengthening Pill and asked:
"Then what is the use of this bone-forging pill?"
The steward explained:
"The Jade Marrow Bone Refining Pill can improve the bones and physique of a cultivator. It is rumored to be a body-refining pill used by ancient cultivators."
"As long as you take enough, your bones will become as crystal clear as white jade, which is very useful for physical training."
"The so-called icy skin and jade bones are the two special physiques of ancient physical cultivators... This jade marrow bone-forging pill has the effect of achieving jade bones!"
The steward explained for a long time and said with a smile:
"This Taoist friend must be visiting Qingyu Town for the first time. Why don't you buy some medicinal pills to try?"
Lin Chen shook his head and said:
"Not only do I want the pills... I wonder if you can sell me the recipes for these two pills?"
Lin Chen has several tons of chalcedony in his hands and is worried about how to use it.
I happened to come across these two recipes for pills, so why shouldn't I buy them?
But... he didn't know whether the Chamber of Commerce would sell it or not.
The steward frowned upon hearing Lin Chen's words. After a long silence, he said, "Haha, you are joking, fellow Taoist. Such precious medicines are secret and priceless!"
"So, you're not going to sell it?" Lin Chen asked back.
"Sell! But... you have to pay more!" The manager's eyes remained smiling.
……
A moment later, Lin Chen met the president of the Chamber of Commerce under the introduction of the steward.
It was the elegantly dressed young monk that Lin Chen saw last night.
After seeing Lin Chen, the young monk showed a look of surprise on his face and said with a smile:
"So you want to buy the recipes for two kinds of elixirs... We are destined to meet. In that case, I will get straight to the point."
"The recipe for the Jadeite Qi-boosting Pill costs 100,000 Spiritual Stones. The recipe for the Jadeite Bone-forging Pill costs 200,000 Spiritual Stones..."
"I wonder if you can accept this price, fellow Taoist?"
After hearing this, Lin Chen nodded slightly. Three hundred thousand spirit stones were nothing to him now.
Especially before leaving the Righteous Alliance, Lin Chen was afraid that he would not have enough spirit stones on the road, so he carried all the spirit stones with him.
At this time, the number of spirit stones in Lin Chen's hand was no less than tens of millions.
So without much hesitation, Lin Chen flicked his finger and a bag of spirit stones fell into the hands of the young cultivator.
After the cultivator counted the number of spirit stones, he tapped his storage bag, and two pill recipes fell into Lin Chen's hands.
Lin Chen read through the pill recipes. Based on his alchemy skills, he could tell that the medicinal properties of the two recipes were reasonable.
Whether the pill recipe is correct or not still needs to be refined and tested later.
"Since the deal has been reached, I will take my leave first..." Lin Chen bowed.
"Fellow Taoist, please wait."
At this time, the young monk said:
"Fellow Daoist, my name is Huayang, and I am the branch president of the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce."
"I wonder what you call your friend?"
Lin Chen nodded, "Zhou Wu."
"Fellow Daoist Zhou Wu, I would like to invite you to become my disciple... As long as you are willing, I will give you two pill recipes for free."
"I will give you a salary of 500,000 spirit stones every year. What do you think?"
After hearing this, Lin Chen looked at Huayang with a little surprise.
But he still shook his head and said:
"Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist Hua, but I am used to being idle... I am here to travel around the beautiful mountains and rivers of Qingzhou, so please forgive me for refusing."
Hua Yang just nodded slightly after hearing this, and did not force him to stay, but smiled and said:
"I have a feeling that fellow Taoist and I are destined to meet... We will meet again in the future."
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Let's talk about it next time we meet."
After saying that, Lin Chen did not stay any longer and left the Chamber of Commerce.
After Lin Chen left, the previous steward came to Huayang and asked in a low voice:
"Sir, what's so special about Zhou Wu? Why did you personally recruit him..."
"But he really doesn't know what's good for him. He actually rejected your kindness."
Huayang glanced at him and said with a smile:
"I'm just trying to recruit him. This Daoist Brother Zhou is quite powerful!"
"If I'm not mistaken, he should be in the late Jindan stage... maybe even a ninth-level Jindan cultivator!"
Nine-turn golden pill!
The Chamber of Commerce manager was shocked after hearing this. "Sir, there aren't that many Nine-turn Golden Core cultivators in the entire Qingzhou, right? Zhou Wu... I don't think I've heard of this name before."
Huayang smiled and said:
"Who knows? The old president is nearing the end of his life... and the election of a new president will take decades."
"This position... too many people want it..."
Huayang came to the window of the Chamber of Commerce and looked at Lin Chen's receding back thoughtfully.
……
After Lin Chen obtained the two pill recipes, he did not stay in Qingyu Town for long.
Instead, he continued to fly in the direction of Wendao Sect.
This time he went out as Zhou Wu and did not hide his own cultivation.
After all, showing off one's Golden Core cultivation could save one from a lot of trouble along the way.
In the next few days, Lin Chen continued to travel during the day, and in the evening he found the nearest town to rest.
We passed through five or six towns along the way and saw another side of Qingzhou.
Even though the Righteous Alliance and the Demonic Sect were fighting fiercely, other places tens of thousands of miles away were still peaceful.
Along the way, Lin Chen also encountered one or two groups of robbers, but they were just delivering "takeout" to Lin Chen.
It was not until noon on the sixth day that Lin Chen looked at the magnificent city in the distance and felt deeply moved.
"Huh, we have finally arrived at the first of the three cities... Humane City!"
Lin Chen looked from afar and saw that the wall of the city alone was dozens of feet high and covered an area of more than a hundred miles in radius. It was truly magnificent and majestic.
And this Humane City is divided into two cities, the upper and lower cities.
The lower city is no different from an ordinary city, mostly inhabited by mortals, and occasionally a few monks can be seen.
As for the Upper City, it was suspended in the air hundreds of feet high, with white walls and blue bricks, and a bustling traffic...
As soon as Lin Chen approached the humanitarian gate, he received a voice transmission.
"My fellow Taoist, flying in the Humane City is prohibited without a certificate..."
