Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 661: Chapter 273: Accumulated Thunder Ninth Mountain, Ten Thousand Li of Flowing Sand Wasteland_2

”At first, the sales were slow, but later they increased in demand.”

”It only took me three months to sell every last one.”

”Unexpectedly, I drew the attention of some people...After a tough fight, I barely managed to escape.”

As he spoke, Li Jinhuang pulled out a storage bag stained with black blood.

”This is all the profits, you can count them.”

He handed over the storage bag.

After a scan with his spirit consciousness, Luo Chen involuntarily raised an eyebrow.

There’s a lot!

He stored it carefully and curiously asked, ”With your strength at the fifth level of foundation establishment, who could push you into such a desperate state without the presence of a great cultivator?”

”I don’t know, the other party hid their origins extremely well.” Li Jinhuang forced a bitter smile, ”I only know that the other party used a bowl-shaped magic item. They almost trapped me.”

A bowl?

Luo Chen was taken aback.

Such a strange, unconventional magic item is not commonly used by cultivators.

Only strong Buddhist cultivators in Zhongzhou and the South Border outside the Eastern Wastelands often use this type of magic item.

There are actually such cultivators in the Yu Ding Realm.

Li Jinhuang seemed unwilling to say more, and changed the subject.

”You’ve met my grandson Yingzhang, haven’t you?”

Luo Chen nodded. It was indeed Li Yingzhang who had led him in before.

He seems quite normal!

”My grandson is great in all respects, but he neglects everything once he begins cultivating.”

”Therefore, I don’t feel at ease handing over the Li family to him.”

”So, I hope that you will take care of the younger generation of the Li family in the future.”

Seeing the other party’s gradually weakening breath, Luo Chen solemnly nodded, ”Of course.”

It seemed as if the other party was entrusting him with his final wishes.

Since the other party had gone to great lengths to handle the sale of the Tongyou Pills for him, Luo Chen would naturally not dampen his spirit.

However, he had another purpose for this visit.

”May I ask, Friend Li, do you have any way of acquiring second order cultivation pills of medium grade, or even ascendant grade?”

Upon hearing this question.

Li Jinhuang looked at Luo Chen in surprise.

”If I had that, would I have been stuck at the middle stage of foundation establishment all my life?”

Luo Chen was also taken aback.

Well, then!

His question was like asking the blind about color.

However, Li Jinhuang still pointed out some possible channels where high-grade pills might appear.

The first being large-scale regular auctions, this didn’t need much explanation.

Then there were various black markets.

The origins of the items in these black markets were generally shady. Perhaps a calamity cultivator had killed a great sect disciple and found high-grade pills in their storage bag.

However, the chances of encountering high-grade pills on the black market were also slim.

After all, any cultivator could use high-rank pills for their own use.

The fact that Luo Chen had entrusted Li Jinhuang to sell nine hundred medium and ascendant pills this time was quite a big deal.

Even though it was only first-order, he had attracted the attention of many, resulting in the trouble of being robbed.

Last but not the least, Li Jinhuang offered another suggestion.

”Since high-grade pills only circulate within the great sects, why not look for disciples from these great sects to buy from?”

...

On the way back to the city, Luo Chen pondered over the last suggestion proposed by Li Jinhuang.

It was clearly a route that the other had thought out specifically for him.

He had a good relationship with the Ice Castle.

Maybe he could obtain high-grade pills from the Ice Castle.

”But this is merely a ’maybe’. If the Ice Castle had an abundance of pills, they wouldn’t be so desperate for my Jade Dew Pills.”

Regarding this, Luo Chen didn’t have high hopes.

On the flying boat.

Luo Chen carefully counted the Spirit Stones brought back by Li Jinhuang.

The price of the Tongyou Pills was determined before Li Jinhuang’s departure, after a discussion between the two of them.

This pill, although obscure, could significantly enhance one’s divine soul endowment, so the price was exceptionally high!

For the medium grade, a bottle of ten pills was priced at four hundred Spirit Stones.

For the ascendant grade, a bottle of ten pills was priced at nine hundred Spirit Stones!

These prices would make you gasp.

A mere first-order pill, with the medium grade approaching the price of a second-order Qi Unifying Pill.

The ascendant grade even directly exceeded the selling price of lower-grade Qi-synthesis pills and Rising Dragon Pills.

This obviously seems like a scam.

But for those who can cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Stage, there may be fools, but those who hang out at the Flowing Sand Wasteland are definitely not suckers to be slaughtered easily.

After initial disinterest in the Tongyou Pills.

Just a short half month later, a buying frenzy was triggered.

Li Jinhuang later intentionally controlled the distribution speed of the pills in his hand and put them on the black market auction.

Ascendant Tongyou Pill at nine hundred a bottle?

No!

That was just the starting bid!

The highest transaction price even reached two thousand stones, far exceeding the transaction price of medium grade Qi Condensing Pills at the Tianlan auction.

Why would true cultivators at the foundation establishment stage crazily rush to buy ascendant grade Tongyou Pills?

Luo Chen had thought about this question before.

”Probably because of what Chu Kui said, the divine soul endowment is especially important during core formation!”

”And most of the true cultivators who dare to venture into the Nascent Soul Ascendant Sect battlefield have ambitions for the Great Dao Path. When encountering a pill that can directly increase the divine soul endowment, anyone would go to great lengths to secure a few bottles.”

”Even if it only increases it by ten or twenty percent, it might during core formation increase the success rate a little bit.”

”Everyone is striving for core formation!”

After expressing his feelings, Luo Chen contentedly put away the storage bag.

This time, he harvested110,000 lower grade Spirit Stones!

It slightly compensated for the cost he had invested before.

As for the future, he didn’t intend to refine medium and ascendant grade Tongyou Pills anymore.
