Li Muyuan thought for a moment, then said:
"Only noble families and sects can obtain quotas for Qi-Condensing Pills from Medicine King Mountain. The quota price is a thousand taels per pill. My Li Clan's quota is all in Longxi, but I can help arrange a transfer. How many do you need?"
"As for heavenly treasures and earthly rarities, the major medicine shops and Tongbao Tower in Liang Prefecture occasionally sell them on consignment. You can keep an eye out."
An idea stirred in Chen Jing's mind.
At a thousand taels apiece, Qi-Condensing Pills cost ten times as much as Blood-Qi Pills. They really were expensive.
The twenty Qi-Condensing Pills he had just received were thus worth twenty thousand taels of silver. By that reckoning, the court was not particularly stingy.
Chen Jing still had seventy thousand taels left.
Even if he spent all of it on Qi-Condensing Pills, he would only get seventy, equivalent to 35,000 proficiency points.
They were nowhere near as cost-effective as Blood-Qi Pills.
Still, he had enough Blood-Qi Pills for the time being.
And he certainly had to train his internal arts.
Whichever way he looked at it, he still lacked silver.
He had to find a way to make money!
Chen Jing suddenly remembered that he had just raided Wonderful Sound House. There were bound to be illicit goods shipped out of Western Rong among its possessions. It seemed he would have to conduct a thorough investigation himself!
Chen Jing's mood improved a little.
"Lord Li, I have fifty thousand taels here."
"Could you help arrange a transfer?"
"I'll add another ten percent as compensation for your trouble."
Li Muyuan's eyes lit up. He cleared his throat and said:
"We should be able to spare fifty Qi-Condensing Pills. As for compensation, there's no need."
