Secret Chamber on the third floor of the Treasure Pagoda.
Looking into Lady Xue's expectant eyes, Cheng Buzheng considered for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Can!"
After all, the pill he refined was the Azure Cloud Pill, and with the Bipolar Pill, there was no need to take the Azure Cloud Pill anymore.
Even when selling to Lady Xue, the quantity must be controlled to a maximum of one bottle, since she knows the amount of spirit medicine he purchases.
If he were to sell in large quantities, it would easily expose his success rate in alchemy, and besides, he didn't intend to sell many.
He didn't want to have to complete a pill-refining task every ten years, so he preferred to refine more at once to prepare for future task handovers.
Upon hearing this...
Lady Xue's beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at Cheng Buzheng and said:
"Thank you, fellow Daoist."
She knew very well how rare and precious the elixirs for improving one's cultivation level were.
Even though she was in charge of the Treasure Pagoda, she only had one pill available to purchase each year. Outsiders who wanted to purchase pills for improving their cultivation to the second tier could not do so without spending a certain amount of Spirit Stone.
despite this.
Even second-tier Spirit Pill are frequently out of stock, let alone in smaller shops.
Comparatively speaking, Treasure Tool are not so scarce, Treasure Tool can be used for a long time without needing to be replaced.
at the same time.
It's also the entry barrier for Artifact Refiner, but it's relatively low compared to Alchemist.
therefore.
There are far more Artifact Refiner than Alchemist, so there are also more Treasure Tool available for sale.
Moreover, materials from second-tier Demon Beast and Desolate Beast can be used to refine Treasure Tool.
Second-tier Demon Beast and Desolate Beast are countless in the Endless Sea. Within the Inner Sea area, anyone with the will can hunt second-tier Demon Beast and Desolate Beast.
Of course, the Inner Sea is much more dangerous than the Outer Sea; even third- and fourth-order Demon Beast and Desolate Beast can be seen frequently.
Therefore, every cultivator who can venture into the Inner Sea is an extraordinary individual.
Immediately.
Lady Xue warmly refilled his teacup and showered him with compliments.
Not long after.
The servant who had left not long ago returned to the room. He bowed and then presented a storage bag to Lady Xue with both hands.
Then, Lady Xue waved her hand, and the servants withdrew again.
Then Lady Xue took stock of the spirit medicine in her storage bag.
A short while later.
Lady Xue smiled and said:
"Fellow Daoist, since you are Alchemist of this tower, you can get a 10% discount when purchasing spirit medicine for refining quests!"
"If you wish to purchase other spiritual items, the 10% discount requires Honor Points, while purchasing with Spirit Stone will only allow you to pay the full price. Fellow Daoist, you should understand this!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Buzheng calmly nodded and said indifferently:
"Can!"
Then, thinking of the Spirit Stone in his storage bag, he calmly spoke;
" Lady Xue, I don't have enough Spirit Stone. Could I temporarily use this Treasure Tool as collateral, and then redeem it after this mission is completed?"
"I wonder if that's alright?"
Upon hearing this...
Lady Xue was taken aback for a moment, then, remembering that the other party had mentioned just finishing their meditation, she understood something and said:
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such trouble!"
"Why don't you leave the Treasure Tool with me temporarily, and I'll make up for the lack of Spirit Stone for the spirit medicine?"
"What do you think, my friend?"
Cheng Buzheng also understood the other party's second meaning.
First, it's simply about getting the two sides closer.
Secondly, when handing over the mission, come to her and take this opportunity to obtain the Spirit Pill she promised.
In response to this...
Cheng Buzheng aware of the situation, but he didn't feel any resentment; this was simply the way of human relationships in the cultivation world.
Immediately, he took out all the Spirit Stone and two high-grade Treasure Tool shaped like small knives.
After the transaction is completed.
After chatting for a while, Cheng Buzheng left the Treasure Pagoda and headed towards the city gate.
More than half a month later.
Cheng Buzheng returned to Xuanli Island and sat cross-legged on the Jade Bed to replenish the puppet's magical power once again.
Mana replenished.
A thought crossed my mind.
Cheng Buzheng's true form transformed into an old man with a weathered face, and his Spirit Pressure dropped to the Late Qi Refining Stage. Meanwhile, the puppet reverted to its original form.
The main body flew directly towards the Earth Fire Chamber, while the puppet transformed into a beam of light and flew towards the City Lord Mansion to inquire about the situation during this period.
After some questioning.
Cheng Buzheng also roughly understood that no second-tier Demon Beast or Desolate Beast had attacked during this period.
Only some first-tier Demon Beast and Desolate Beast launched a surprise attack, but they were all killed by the cultivators of the Protective Law Academy, and there were no other incidents.
At the same time, City Lord Kong wanted to return the Talisman Treasure to him, but he declined, saying that he might leave again in the future and that it should be kept with him for the time being!
After completing the questioning, the Treasure-Class No. 1 Puppet returned to the dedicated Alchemy Chamber.
This day.
Alchemy Chamber the Xuanli City.
Cheng Buzheng sat cross-legged on the futon, looking at the twenty-five Long-necked Jade Bottle beside him, his heart filled with a great sense of accomplishment.
This was the result of his year-long, tireless work of refining elixirs.
For the next twenty years, I will no longer have to worry about the Treasure Pagoda mission and thus delay my cultivation.
Of the remaining five bottles of pills, one was sold to Lady Xue.
As for the remaining four bottles of Azure Cloud Pill, Cheng Buzheng planned to sell them for Spirit Stone to deduce Pill Formula, Treasure Art, purchase Spirit Material, and refine puppets.
Even if he refines Qi Gathering Pill day and night, a single puppet cannot sustain his cultivation needs.
Moreover, the Treasure-Class No. 1 Puppet usually has to kill Demon Beast and Desolate Beast, leaving even less time for alchemy. Although it also harvests Spirit Stone, it is not enough for its cultivation.
It's time for the other two puppets to be unveiled!
Moreover, he can now purchase spiritual items at a 10% discount using Contribution Points at the Treasure Pagoda, and he can even buy rare spiritual items at this price.
This is also why Cheng Buzheng wasted time refining the Azure Cloud Pill.
With this identity, he can not only save Spirit Stone, but also purchase rare spiritual items that are hard to find on the market.
Thinking of this, Cheng Buzheng stood up and walked outside.
Meanwhile, after finishing refining a batch of Spirit Pill, the Treasure-Class No. 1 Puppet" put away the Pill Furnace, went to the City Lord Mansion to inform City Lord Kong, and then transformed into a ray of light and flew off the island.
Xuanli Island is a thousand miles away.
Cheng Buzheng stood silently in the void, waiting.
Fifteen minutes later.
A Black and White Flowing Spirit Light, appeared before Cheng Buzheng.
Immediately, Cheng Buzheng put away the puppet, transformed into a ray of light, and flew towards Huanqiu Island.
This day.
An elderly man with a fair complexion and no beard arrived in Huanqiu City and headed directly towards the Treasure Pagoda.
Cheng Buzheng arrived at the Secret Chamber on the third floor with ease, completed the task handover with Lady Xue, and the set of superior-grade Treasure Tool returned to his hands once again.
Immediately, Cheng Buzheng spoke up:
"Fellow Daoist Xue, I wonder if there are any Second-order High-grade Deep Sea Spirit Pearl inside this Treasure Pagoda?"
" Deep Sea Spirit Pearl?"
Lady Xue pondered for a moment, then spoke:
"There should be a few mid-grade second-tier spirit pearls left, but it seems the Treasure Pagoda here doesn't have any High-grade Spirit Pearl."
"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment while I inquire!"
Then, Lady Xue walked outside.
Cheng Buzheng watched as that graceful figure disappeared from his sight.
Less than fifteen minutes.
Lady Xue went back into the Secret Chamber, and then said apologetically;
"Fellow Daoist, there are indeed no second-tier High-grade Spirit Pearl in this tower!"
"However, fellow Daoist, you can purchase it at the Treasure Pagoda in Xuanfeng Immortal City; it is certain that this Spirit Pearl can be found there!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Buzheng nodded slightly, and then spoke:
"Fellow Daoist, does this Jade Slip contain any spiritual items?"
As he spoke, he took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Lady Xue.
Lady Xue took the Jade Slip and immediately began to investigate.
A short while later.
Lady Xue smiled and said:
"Fellow Daoist, the spirit items in the Jade Slip all belong to the pagoda, but there are only two Soul-Stationing Steel Pagodas."
"I wonder if you want to redeem it!"
Cheng Buzheng calmly nodded and said, "Okay!"
Afterwards, Cheng Buzheng completed the transaction with Honor Points, chatted with Lady Xue for a while longer, and then took his leave.
After leaving the Treasure Pagoda, we arrived at the seabed, thousands of miles away from the island.
Cheng Buzheng put away the puppet, transformed into a ray of light, and returned to Huanqiu City.
Immediately, he headed straight for the Teleportation Hall, arrived at a teleportation hall, showed his Immortal Alliance Ring, and rode the Teleportation Array again for free.
A flash of white light.
Cheng Buzheng's figure disappeared from the teleportation hall.
P. S.: I've let bygones be bygones, and next year the flowers will still bloom!
2022, no sleepless nights, no worries. Keep going!
