Uh … After Du Feng kept the bottle of medicine, he felt that the shop assistant's gaze was strange. Although the medicine he bought wasn't the conventional Cultivation Enhancement medicine, it was still related to combat. Why was the shop assistant looking at him as if he had secretly sold a few bottles of aphrodisiac?
The most troublesome thing was that this shop didn't sell conventional medicine at all. It only sold strong medicine. Without a choice, Du Feng had to go to another pharmacy to take a look.
"Ah, that gentleman came out. I didn't expect such a refined person to buy such strong medicine. "
Black Widow's eyes lit up when she saw Du Feng's figure. She also noticed that he came out from the shop that specialized in strong medicine. When she saw that white-bearded old man diligently giving it out, she knew that he must have bought a lot.
She didn't expect this gentleman, who looked elegant and scholarly, to secretly buy so many strong medicine. She really liked him more and more.
Black Widow was thinking about all these messy things and forgot to pay attention to the needle on the compass. She watched as Du Feng came out of a pharmacy and entered another one.
Ah, did the needle on the compass move? She then realized that she had forgotten to pay attention to the needle. It didn't matter. Anyway, she would keep an eye on this street for a while. She could also take a look at some handsome guys.
Just like that, Du Feng entered the second pharmacy. When he saw that the shop assistants were all young people, he felt relieved. It seemed that this was a proper pharmacy. They didn't have to be so mysterious. He had bought some strong medicine in that shop just now and was embarrassed.
"What would you like, sir?"
The shop assistant wasn't as enthusiastic as the previous one, but his service was still good. Therefore, Du Feng didn't say much and directly said that he needed some medicine that could help with Cultivation Enhancement. Medicine that could help with Cultivation Enhancement was nothing more than replenishing the Power of God, expanding the capacity of the Dantian, and widening the meridians.
"What kind of price do you need?"
The shop assistant was also quite direct. He directly asked what price he wanted. If he wanted cheap medicine, then it would be the conventional kind that would slowly improve. Although it was cheap, the effect was slow and there were a lot of impurities. It couldn't be taken for a long time. After taking it for a period of time, he would have to stop the metabolism for a period of time.
Middle-priced pills would have fewer impurities, and the effects would be better. If he wanted a higher priced one, he would have to go to the second floor.
Aiya, I didn't expect the people of the Coiling Dragon Boundary to be so good at making money. The high-priced items were all placed on the second floor, and they were deliberately described as magical, making people want to buy them and try them out. Even if he didn't have much money, he still wanted to buy a few to taste. This was the sales technique.
Du Feng had learned his lesson this time. After all, buying medicinal pills was different from buying cultivation technique books. There was no need to learn it repeatedly, so he directly bought the best one. However, medicinal pills were things that needed to be eaten repeatedly. Furthermore, they could be eaten every day. The consumption could be said to be enormous.
Therefore, he decided to take a look on the first floor and buy a bottle of low-grade medicine. Then, he bought a bottle of medium-grade medicine to see how effective it was. He wanted to compare the difference between the medicine's efficacy and price. With his professional eyes as an Alchemist, he could immediately tell which one was better and which one had a higher price-to-performance ratio.
One had to say that his decision was wise. After comparing it with his hands, he could see that low-grade medicine had the highest price-to-performance ratio. For example, low-grade medicinal pills had five active ingredients, and the price was seven. Middle-grade medicinal pills had seven active ingredients, and the price was thirteen. If it was a high-grade medicinal pill, it would probably have ten active ingredients, and the price might be twenty-five or even more than thirty.
Therefore, low-grade medicinal pills were the ones with the highest price-to-performance ratio. However, most people were afraid that there were too many impurities in it, and eating it would be bad for their health. Therefore, they could only buy a portion and eat it for a period of time before stopping. This way, it would also delay their cultivation time.
However, Du Feng didn't have such concerns. He was a professional Alchemist. He only needed to crush it and he would know what the impurities were. After he went back and removed the impurities, it would become a medium-grade or even a high-grade medicinal pill. What he needed was the active ingredients inside, and nothing else.
"Give me twenty bottles of this low-grade medicine."
"No, give me thirty bottles."
This time, Du Feng didn't foolishly go up to the second floor, and he didn't waste his money. Instead, he bought low-grade medicinal pills in bulk. There were thirty pills in each bottle, so thirty bottles meant nine hundred medicinal pills. That was enough to last him for a while. However, he quickly remembered that the Dragon Emperor had to eat them too.
Although he couldn't eat them now, he could after he broke through to the first level of the Second Transformation of the Divine Emperor realm.
"How about this, give me another thirty bottles."
Although Du Feng didn't buy high-grade medicinal pills, there were very few customers who bought sixty bottles at once. Most people only bought them when they were almost finished. Moreover, low-grade medicinal pills had a resting time, so it wouldn't be too late to buy them after they were finished.
"Sir, I have to remind you that you can't eat too many of these medicinal pills. Would you like to look for something else?"
The shop assistant reminded Du Feng not to eat too many low-grade medicinal pills in a row for the sake of his sales performance and out of kindness. If he ate too many, the dregs would accumulate in his body. Over time, it would damage his organs and meridians, and he might even be poisoned.
"Mm, got it. I'm planning to bring it to my friends."
Du Feng couldn't say that he knew how to purify it. That would be equivalent to ruining the shop assistant's business. Therefore, he just said that he was buying it for his friends. Anyway, it could be one or ten friends. No one knew how long he would eat it.
The shop assistant could sell a few bottles of mid-grade medicinal pills to go with it, or he could go upstairs and buy a bottle of high-grade medicinal pills to try. However, Du Feng wasn't interested in the high-grade medicinal pills upstairs at all. No matter what type of medicinal pills it was, he only bought low-grade ones.
This was because he realized that the medicinal pills of the Coiling Dragon Realm were different from those of the Divine Realm. The low-grade medicinal pills of the Divine Realm weren't just because they contained impurities, but also because of the changes in their medicinal properties. However, the medicinal pills of the Coiling Dragon Realm were only different in the amount of effective ingredients and impurities. The effective ingredients of a low-grade medicinal pill were five, so two of them could be ten, which was equivalent to the amount of a high-grade medicinal pill.
An earth-grade medicinal pill was sold at seven, so two of them were only fourteen. And a high-grade medicinal pill would cost more than twenty-five. This guy, Du Feng, was very calculative. He definitely wouldn't waste money. Therefore, he bought a lot of bottles and jars, but he didn't spend much money.
"Tsk tsk tsk … Brother Du, you're really calculative. Don't tell me you're planning to go back and purify it before selling it?"
After being fooled by Du Feng, the Dragon Emperor also understood that he had found a loophole. If he went back and purified the effective ingredients of two low-grade medicinal pills and combined them into a high-grade medicinal pill, wouldn't he be able to sell it at a high price?
