During this time, apart from his regular daily cultivation, he had spent his time refining pills.
The medicinal herbs he had brought back from the Immortal Gourd Grotto-Heaven were roughly enough to refine one batch of Quenching Fire Pills, two batches of Grass Return Pills, and ten batches of Qi-Gathering Pills.
He had also exchanged all the magic artifacts, spirit pills, and other things he had looted from the demon cultivators in the Immortal Gourd Grotto-Heaven for merit points and Gold Essence Coins.
It was no small sum.
In total, he had received one thousand Gold Essence Coins and seven hundred thousand merit points.
Leaving the merit points aside, he was saving the Gold Essence Coins for future journeys outside the sect. After all, the Azure Profound Sect's merit points could not circulate among the Nine Prefectures.
Including the six thousand Gold Essence Coins awarded by the Nine Prefectures, he now had a total of seven thousand Gold Essence Coins and seven hundred thousand merit points.
Although he had earned a considerable amount, his expenses were equally enormous.
Even with the Ghost-Sealing Talisman somewhat suppressed now, the medicinal decoctions needed to temper his body and the pills needed for cultivation still cost at least two hundred thousand merit points each month.
Xu Taiping had therefore already begun asking Huang Que where he could sell pills. He wanted to sell some of the Qi-Gathering Pills he refined.
Huang Que was also very interested and was helping him contact several trading houses in the Nine Prefectures. If the pills were of sufficiently high quality, these trading houses could even put them up for auction.
"How many Gold Essence Coins are they willing to pay for a Qi-Gathering Pill?"
Once they began discussing selling pills, Fairy Lingyue grew a little curious as well.
