[Profound Gold Pill]
The next day.
Number Nine Pill Shop.
Zhang Ying nervously accepted the ten Pill from Su Bai's hand.
Inside were the Primordial Chaos Pill, each costing 60 Spirit Stone.
"Sixty Spirit Stone each. It reminds me of when I used to work in Heavenly Star City, I only earned ten or twenty Spirit Stone a month."
"This one bottle of Primordial Chaos Pill is enough for me to earn for several years."
"No one is as happy as you are now," Zhang Ying said to Zhang Haoran was standing to the side.
Zhang Haoran nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Having spent so much time at the Number Nine Pill Shop, he naturally Consciousness how fortunate he was to have become Su Bai's apprentice.
Zhang Ying placed the Spirit Pills in the counter.
Then the Magic Array was activated, and the door to the Pill Shop was opened.
Zhang Ying was initially a little nervous, wondering if the change in the main business of Spirit Pills would affect the business of the Pill Shop.
All these negative emotions disappeared after the door of Pill Shop was opened.
Outside the main gate of the Pill Shop, more than thirty Foundation Establishment Cultivator were lined up and waiting.
"Little girl, I want to buy the Alchemist Lu Jiu Primordial Chaos Pill refined by Alchemist Lu Jiu!" said the Foundation Establishment Cultivator at the top of the line.
This was the first time Zhang Ying had received guests at the Foundation Establishment Realm, and all of them were at the Foundation Establishment Realm. She was slightly taken aback for a moment before speaking, "No problem, senior, how many bottles would you like?"
"Give me half a bottle first." The Foundation Establishment Cultivator took out three hundred Spirit Stone.
Foundation Establishment Cultivator don't earn their money easily, and Cultivation Spirit Pill for the Foundation Establishment Realm are so expensive that it's common to see people buying half a bottle or even just a few pills.
Zhang Ying packaged the Spirit Pills, handed half a bottle of Primordial Chaos Pill to the Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and received three hundred Spirit Stone in return.
Thus, the first transaction after the Number Nine Pill Shop changed its main business to Spirit Pills was completed.
One by one, Foundation Establishment Cultivator lined up to purchase Primordial Chaos Pill.
You have half a bottle, I have one bottle, and he has two bottles.
The first batch of Primordial Chaos Pill sold out quickly.
These Foundation Establishment Cultivator were mostly Foundation Establishment Cultivator from Heavenly Star City who came after learning that Su Bai was Disciple of True Man He Crane.
Furthermore, the Primordial Chaos Pill is currently insufficient to meet the market demand. After the Number Nine Pill Shop announced the sale of Primordial Chaos Pill, the news quickly spread among the Foundation Establishment Cultivator in Heavenly Star City.
Therefore, people lined up early to buy Primordial Chaos Pill.
"Esteemed seniors, Primordial Chaos Pill for today have been sold out."
"However, we've also recently added a wide variety of first- and Second-tier Spirit Pill to the counter, including even a rare Second Tier Upper Grade Spirit Pills like the [Spirit Soothing Pill]. All of these were refined by my boss. Seniors, you are welcome to come in and take a look to see if there are any Spirit Pills that you need," Zhang Ying said to the Foundation Establishment Cultivator who hadn't managed to purchase Primordial Chaos Pill.
Su Bai also took out most of the Spirit Pills he had refined in the Pill Pavilion Secret Realm and put them on the counter.
If all these Spirit Pills were sold, they would bring in over 100,000 Spirit Stone, which could be considered a small bonus from True Man He to Su Bai.
"Oh? I'd like to take a look." Immediately, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator entered the shop to examine the Spirit Pills.
"Hmm? They actually have [Blood Burning Soul Devouring Pill]! I'm just about to go to the Spirit Plain to hunt Demon Beast; these pills are essential for Combat. Give me three!"
"Huh, it's [Honey Rice Pill]! Although this kind of Spirit Pills is only of the first rank, its effects are extremely powerful. It's perfect for pleasing a female cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage."
The various Spirit Pills that Su Bai refined during his year of seclusion, provided by True Man He, have earned the recognition of the Cultivator.
Su Bai, seeing this scene from upstairs, felt quite gratified.
In the blink of an eye, November has arrived.
After changing its main business from Spirit Pills to Primordial Chaos Pill, Number Nine Pill Shop has been on the right track.
Su Bai estimated that his annual income could reach 500,000.
This group of Alchemist Alchemist the Foundation Establishment Realm of the Alchemy Street is considered to have the highest income among them.
On this day, in the tea room, Su Bai and Lu Ming from Heavenly Punishment Platform sat facing each other.
The two were discussing matters concerning the Dragon Daoist.
"Shortly after your last seclusion, Dragon Daoist and his son encountered trouble."
"What a pity." Su Bai sighed upon hearing the news.
Lu Ming looked ashamed. His final actions at the Heavenly Punishment Platform were essentially equivalent to abandoning Dragon Daoist and not getting involved.
However, he was just an ordinary Punishment Officer who climbed up the ranks through his own Talent, and he had no Lineage connections.
He had no influence over the decisions of the higher-ups at Heavenly Punishment Platform.
"In addition, there is another matter I would like to ask Alchemist Lu Jiu for help with," Lu Ming said respectfully.
Now that Su Bai is Disciple of True Man He, he has the potential to become the top figure in the Alchemy Street. With such complex relationships behind him, Lu Ming's attitude towards Su Bai has inevitably changed.
Su Bai poured Lu Ming a pot of Spirit Tea: "Punishment Officer Lu, please speak frankly."
"I served Punishment Officer at the Heavenly Punishment Platform for over thirty years."
"I've finally saved up enough Spirit Stone to purchase the [Profound Gold Pill]."
"I hope Alchemist Lu Jiu can ask True Man He if I can purchase a [Profound Gold Pill] from True Man He at market price. Lu Ming would be extremely grateful!" Lu Ming stood up, cupped his hands, and said solemnly.
After listening, Su Bai pondered for a moment and then smiled, "Punishment Officer, you're really something! You've been complaining about being poor to me every day, and in the blink of an eye, you've saved up enough Spirit Stone to buy the [Profound Gold Pill]."
[Profound Gold Pill], Quasi Tier 4 Spirit Pills, is currently the most renowned Breakthrough Pill in the Demon Star Sea, used to assist Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators in breaking through to the Golden Core Stage.
It can increase the probability of breaking through to the Golden Core Stage.
The market price is over one million Spirit Stone for each [Profound Gold Pill].
Punishment Officer for over thirty years, Lu Ming had saved up one million Spirit Stone. After deducting his cultivation expenses, he could save an average of over thirty thousand Spirit Stone each year.
These incomes are probably not enough to cover a fixed salary alone.
The Punishment Officer possessed certain powers, and the extra money he earned daily was likely the source of his savings of one million Spirit Stone.
Lu Ming scratched his head. "Compared to you Alchemist Lu Jiu, aren't we just penniless wretches?"
"A million Spirit Stone sounds like a lot, but I bet any of your Star Luo Pill Pavilion's Alchemist could easily come up with that amount."
Su Bai smiled faintly and took a sip of Spirit Tea: "Around when do you think you'll need the [Profound Gold Pill]?"
Lu Ming said, "It seems you're in a good position, Alchemist Lu Jiu. I've already prepared the Spirit Stone, and I've also arranged a vacation for you at the Heavenly Punishment Platform."
In this respect, the Heavenly Punishment Platform is quite good; the holidays given Cultivation Realm breakthroughs in cultivation are all paid.
If Lu Ming can truly break through to the Golden Core Stage in the future, he will probably become a powerful figure in charge of the Heavenly Punishment Platform.
Are you confident in successfully advancing to the Golden Core Stage?
"Well, to be honest, I'm not very confident. It's just a do-or-die attempt. I'm not young anymore, and as I get older, my Dao Heart will become clouded, making my chances of advancement even smaller," Lu Ming replied.
Although there is no Heavenly Tribulation for advancing from the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Golden Core Stage, the consequences of failing to advance are still extremely terrifying, with ordinary Cultivator having a 30% chance of perishing.
Failure to advance results in a more severe decline in cultivation level, with virtually no chance of another advancement. It becomes much more difficult to attempt multiple Breaking Through to Foundation Establishment stage, unlike the Qi Refining Stage stage.
Su Bai nodded. "Master has been refining pills lately. When he has some free time, I'll go ask him for Master."
Having known Lu Ming for quite some time, and finding the young man to be of above-average character, Su Bai decided to give him face and help him this time.
"I cannot express my gratitude enough." Lu Ming said solemnly. Among the [Profound Gold Pill] on the market, the best quality ones are naturally those made by True Man He.
