“How many spirit stones does this little illusionary herb cost?”
Soon, Zhu Wuwan found a target in the stall of a third qi layer cultivator.
Although the Little Illusion Grass was not a precious medicinal herb, it was relatively rare. After eating it, one would have a hallucinatory feeling, making one feel as if they were floating in the air. It could be used to refine some pills to relieve boredom.
Zhu Wanhao had never seen it before on Huoyuan Peak. He did not expect to encounter it as soon as he arrived at the free market. He could buy it and eat it in the future to earn breakthrough stones.
“A low-grade spirit stone!” The stall owner demanded an exorbitant price.
Zhu Wuwan rolled her eyes. ” A tenth of a spirit stone slags, low grade. If you’re willing, I’ll buy it. If not, then forget it. ”
“Brother, you’re too ruthless.” The stall owner frowned. ” Although the small illusionary grass isn’t precious, it’s very rare. I only got one by accident. When I bought it, I spent half a low-grade spirit stone. You have to make some money, right? ”
“Then add another tenth,” Zhu Wuwan said.
“At least four tenths, no, five tenths.” The stall owner raised five fingers.
“Two-tenths at most,” Zhu Wuwan shook her head.
“Five tenths!” The stall owner insisted.
Zhu Wuwan turned around to leave.
“Alright, alright, alright. Two-tenths it is. In total, it’s three small low-grade spirit stones.” The stall owner couldn’t sit still anymore and hurriedly called out to Zhu Wuyang.
Zhu Wuwan touched his pocket. There were only seven low-grade spirit stones, which was his monthly salary for a few months. Logically speaking, a sixth qi layer cultivator’s monthly salary shouldn’t be so small, but who asked Zhen Ji to keep an eye on him and deduct his monthly salary.
Zhu Wanwan didn’t want to trouble Zhu Wanzi over such a small matter. Zhu Wanzi probably couldn’t solve it either, so she could only suffer.
To think that he, the dignified Retired Emperor of the Nine Zhao Nation, an invincible cultivator in the Aura Refining realm, only had seven low-grade spirit stones on him. It was quite embarrassing. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Therefore, every penny saved was worth it. Zhu Wuwan didn’t want to be a sucker.
After paying three small low-grade spirit stones and successfully taking away the little Illusion Grass, Zhu Wuwan looked for her next target.
The stall owner was all smiles as he watched Zhu Wuwan’s figure disappear into the distance. He had made another profit from this order. Although it was a little less and did not meet his expectations, it was still not bad.
There were too few spirit stones on hand. Even though Zhu Wuyang had tried his best to save them, he still spent them quickly. However, he did not take advantage of them. After all, he was a low-level middle-grade official alchemist. He was very clear about the prices of most medicinal herbs and waste pills.
Soon, Zhu Wuyang found another target.
Foundation Establishment Pill!
To be precise, it should be a useless foundation establishment pill!
A Foundation Establishment Pill that had already been refined to waste was basically useless. It was put up for sale by a cultivator with a big mouth at the eighth qi layer.
Everyone knew that the Foundation Establishment Pill was the most important pill to help a cultivator at the peak of the tenth level of the Aura Refining realm advance to the Foundation Establishment realm. Although it was only a low-grade superior-grade spiritual pill, its value exceeded most low-grade supreme-grade spiritual pills. The difficulty of refining it was also comparable to many low-grade supreme-grade spiritual pills.
The huge Hundred Poisons Sect could only produce a few Foundation Establishment Pills every year. No matter which cultivation sect in the Southern Wasteland, Foundation Establishment Pills were priceless treasures.
The big-mouthed cultivator glanced at Zhu Wuan, who was wearing a bamboo hat. He thought to himself, Could it be that this poor fellow doesn’t have the money to buy a real Foundation Establishment Pill and wants to try it out with a useless pill? However, there are quite a number of cultivators at the tenth level of the great circle of the Aura Refining realm who die every year from consuming a useless Foundation Establishment Pill.
Even so, he still had to get the money he needed.
The big-mouthed cultivator opened his mouth wide. ” This useless Foundation Establishment Pill only costs 1,000 low-grade spirit stones. It might be able to help you break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. 1,000 low-grade spirit stones is definitely not a loss for you. ”
“Do I look like a fool to you?” Zhu Wanwan was speechless. ” A qualified Foundation Establishment Pill is only worth 10,000 low-grade spirit stones. You’re robbing me of money. You’re selling a useless pill for 1,000 low-grade spirit stones. ”
“Although it’s just a useless Foundation Establishment Pill, there’s still a certain chance for a tenth layer Aura Refining cultivator to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. So, I want a tenth of the price. It’s really not high.” The big-mouthed cultivator laughed dryly.
“Cut the crap. Ten low-grade spirit stones. If you want them, I’ll take them.” Zhu Wuwan returned the money on the spot and cut off 990 low-grade spirit stones in one go.
The big-mouthed cultivator’s face turned green. ” That’s too little. Just the materials alone are worth more than that. You have to give me at least a hundred low-grade spirit stones. ”
“But this is a useless pill, and the materials are also useless. It’s not worth much at all.” “If you can restore this useless Foundation Establishment Pill to its original form, even 1,000 low-grade spirit stones will do. Unfortunately, the materials used to refine this Foundation Establishment Pill have been destroyed. 10 low-grade spirit stones is not a small amount,” Zhu Wanwan said.
The big-mouthed cultivator shook his head repeatedly. ” That won’t do. I’ve spent a lot of effort to get this useless foundation establishment pill. Ten low-grade spirit stones aren’t even enough to cover the cost. I need at least fifty low-grade spirit stones. ”
“How about a Qi Returning Pill?” ” I’m fine. ” Zhu Wuwan took out a Qi Returning Pill. ” It was able to save your life at a critical moment. It’s definitely comparable to your useless pill. ”
When he saw the Qi Returning Pill in Zhu Wuan’s hand, the big-mouthed cultivator’s expression changed, and he almost drooled.”This ??This ?”
“If you don’t want it, I’ll take it.” Zhu Wuwan pretended to put it away.
“No, no, no. Forget it. I’ll just suffer a little loss and sell it to you.” The big-mouthed cultivator hurriedly said and handed over the wasted foundation establishment pill.
Zhu Wanhao put away the useless Foundation Establishment Pill and handed the Qi Returning Pill to the big-mouthed cultivator before leaving with a smile.
Although this foundation establishment pill was useless, it should be able to bring him many breakthrough stones after consuming it. It was a treasure comparable to a low-grade top-grade spirit pill.
Moreover, Zhu Wuyang had read so many alchemy books. One of them recorded the method of purifying a waste pill. Although it could not turn a waste pill into a good pill, it could at least reduce its side effects. This way, Zhu Wuyang dared to take it without worry.
Although there wasn’t much medicinal power in these useless pills, they could still bring Zhu Wuyang the harvest of breakthrough stones. It was definitely a profit without a loss.
According to Zhu Wuan’s speculation, this crippled Foundation Establishment Pill could at least bring him dozens of Breakthrough Stones. This was definitely not a small number. It was comparable to hundreds of ordinary medicinal herbs.
Among the thousands of medicinal herbs, dregs, and useless pills that Zhu Wuwan had collected, most of them could only bring Zhu Wuwan a breakthrough stone of a fraction of a second. Compared to this useless Foundation Establishment Pill, it was much worse.
With the harvest of this wasted Foundation Establishment pill, Zhu Wuwan’s interest in the free market grew even greater. She continued to stroll around seriously, looking for medicinal herbs, medicinal dregs, wasted pills, and even spiritual pills that she did not have. She tried her best to buy three sets of each item, so that she could receive the most breakthrough stones.
As time passed, Zhu Wuyang gained more and more, and she gradually couldn’t hold on any longer.
These would bring him a large number of breakthrough stones in the future, allowing Zhu Wuyang’s strength to soar in a short period of time.
