Chapter 96 Alchemist Alliance
Chapter 96 Alchemist Alliance
Ye Xiaobai went to the market in Sanjiang City to buy the spiritual herbs needed for a fourth-grade pill formula.
After leaving the White Tiger Sect, Ye Xiaobai flew on his sword the whole way, watching the beautiful scenery rushing past on both sides, but he had no intention of stopping to appreciate it.
Ye Xiaobai had previously promised to fly across the entire Great Jin Dynasty on his sword, but he had only been to a few places so far, and hadn't even ventured outside the White Tiger Sect's territory. Of course, the main reason was that his strength was too weak at the moment.
If you run too far, you might accidentally die, which would be a real shame. It's better to develop properly for a while first.
After leaving the White Tiger Sect, Ye Xiaobai had only flown a short distance when he noticed an unfamiliar scent closely following him. Sensing something was wrong, Ye Xiaobai quickly accelerated his flying sword technique, heading towards the Sanjiang City market with all his might.
Fortunately, the people behind were not as fast as Ye Xiaobai and quickly lost track of him.
Ye Xiaobai finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued on his way to his destination.
Ye Xiaobai didn't know who was following behind him, so he could only be more careful when he went out in the future.
Soon, Ye Xiaobai saw the market town of Sanjiang City, and only then did he feel completely relieved.
Ye Xiaobai ran into an acquaintance as soon as he stepped off his flying sword and entered the market of Sanjiang City.
"Senior, it's been a long time! You've come to this market again!" The speaker was Lu Ping, whom Ye Xiaobai had met on their first visit.
"How have you been lately?" Ye Xiaobai asked casually.
"Don't even mention it! Recently, many of the White Tiger Sect's territories have been attacked, causing widespread panic. Prices for everything in the markets have gone up, which is really tough on us low-level cultivators!" Lu Ping complained.
"So the impact is this big!" Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but exclaim, but when he thought about how the price increase would allow him to sell his pills for more money, he was overjoyed.
"Ugh, this is so difficult!"
"Alright, by the way, where can I buy a large quantity of pills?" Ye Xiaobai asked curiously.
"This must be from Miaodanfang!" Lu Ping said hurriedly.
"What's the background of this Miaodanfang?" Ye Xiaobai asked curiously.
"This Miaodanfang is a shop of the Alchemist Alliance, and it has the most abundant selection of pills in the entire market!" Lu Ping said excitedly.
"What's the deal with this Alchemist Alliance?"
"The Alchemist Alliance is an extraordinary entity. It is the only organization in the Great Jin Dynasty composed entirely of alchemists. It is said that to join the Alchemist Alliance, one must be at least a third-grade alchemist, and only those third-grade alchemists with exceptional talent can join!"
"Moreover, the Alchemist Alliance is a neutral organization that does not participate in the struggles between various sects. It will only cooperate with each sect to open a Wonderful Pill Shop in their respective markets."
"It is said that the leader of the Alchemist Alliance is also one of the few seventh-grade alchemists in the world, while the most powerful alchemists in other sects are only sixth-grade alchemists. Therefore, no sect wants to offend one of the few seventh-grade alchemists in the world."
"I see. Then take me to that Wonderful Pill Workshop quickly!" Ye Xiaobai was naturally eager to see how amazing the Wonderful Pill Workshop was, after hearing Lu Ping's description of it.
"Okay, senior!"
Soon, Lu Ping brought Ye Xiaobai to Miaodanfang.
Ye Xiaobai gave Lu Ping a few spirit stones, and Lu Ping happily left.
Next, Ye Xiaobai entered the legendary Miaodanfang. As soon as he entered, the aroma of various pills wafted over him, and Ye Xiaobai could tell from the fragrance that the pills in this shop were of good quality.
As soon as Ye Xiaobai entered, the waiter greeted him warmly: "What kind of pills would you like, fellow Daoist? Our shop has everything!"
Seeing the waiter's confident expression, Ye Xiaobai didn't waste any words and said directly, "I'd like to sell some pills. I wonder if your shop accepts them?"
"Yes, we'll take them, but we don't usually accept first or second-tier pills, unless they're rare ones," the waiter quickly replied.
"That's good, I'm selling third-tier pills!" Ye Xiaobai said with a smile.
Upon hearing that it was a third-grade pill, the waiter was overjoyed, realizing it was a big sale, and quickly led Ye Xiaobai to the inner hall.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. I'll go and call our manager to check on your pills!" The waiter said, not forgetting to pour Ye Xiaobai a cup of spiritual tea.
Ye Xiaobai wasn't in a hurry. He sat down and slowly savored the spiritual tea. After taking a sip, a large amount of spiritual energy rose in his stomach. Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but exclaim, "What wonderful spiritual tea!"
Soon, a sly old man slowly walked out. Upon seeing Ye Xiaobai, he greeted him warmly: "I heard that you praised our spiritual tea highly. We can send you some later!"
"You're too kind, shopkeeper!" Ye Xiaobai said with a smile.
"Alright, I heard you have some third-tier pills to sell, fellow Daoist. May I ask what quality they are?" The shopkeeper got straight to business.
"Some Gathering Yuan Pills, shopkeeper, you can take a look!" Ye Xiaobai said, taking out the Gathering Yuan Pills he had refined.
The shopkeeper picked up the pills and immediately examined them carefully, quickly confirming their quality.
"These Gathering Yuan Pills are all low-grade. I can charge you 2000 spirit stones per bottle. What do you think, fellow Daoist?" the shopkeeper said calmly after looking at them.
"Shopkeeper, this price is a bit low," Ye Xiaobai immediately asked.
"Hey, fellow Daoist, these pills are only of low grade, and we'll still have to spend time reselling them, so of course we need to make a profit!" the shopkeeper explained directly without hesitation.
"How much are these pills worth?" Ye Xiaobai asked, taking out a mid-grade Gathering Yuan Pill.
The shopkeeper was slightly startled upon seeing the pills. He immediately examined them carefully and, after confirming they were genuine, said, "A mid-grade Gathering Yuan Pill, it can be valued at 5000 spirit stones per bottle. What do you think, fellow Daoist?"
Although the price wasn't as high as Ye Xiaobai had imagined, it was still quite a lot.
Ye Xiaobai could only say indifferently, "It's alright."
"Fellow Daoist, you don't have any higher quality pills, do you?" The shopkeeper sensed that the person opposite him was not simple, so he immediately asked.
Ye Xiaobai didn't reply, but instead took out a bottle of high-grade Gathering Yuan Pills and slowly placed it in front of the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was also taken aback. He didn't expect that someone would actually come to sell high-grade pills in this market. Usually, most of the pills sold were low-grade, and mid-grade pills were relatively rare. He never thought that the person in front of him would have high-grade pills.
I instantly felt that this person must have an extraordinary background, and that I should get to know him.
After a careful inspection, the shopkeeper confirmed that all the Qi Gathering Pills in the bottle were of superior quality. Suppressing his excitement, he said, "Superior quality Qi Gathering Pills, 3 spirit stones a bottle. Do you think this price is acceptable, fellow Daoist?"
"This price is indeed not high!" Ye Xiaobai knew that this guy would try to lower the price of his pills, but he didn't expect that he would try so hard to lower the price of this high-grade pill.
"Well then, given that you are such a valuable customer, we at Miaodanfang can give you a Miaodanfang membership token, which will give you a 20% discount on all your future purchases!" the shopkeeper quickly explained.
After speaking, the shopkeeper took out a purplish-black token with the Miaodanfang logo engraved on it and handed it to Ye Xiaobai.
Ye Xiaobai didn't stand on ceremony. He could enjoy a 20% discount, which was great. He glanced at it a few times and put it into his storage bag.
Soon, the value of all the pills was calculated, totaling 12 spirit stones, and Ye Xiaobai made another small fortune.
