"Where did you get this spiritual herb from, little brother? It's an ominous item with a destructive attribute. If you don't handle it well, it might bring you a fatal disaster!" A trace of fear flashed through the old shopkeeper's eyes.
Chu Chen was startled at first, then faintly felt that something was wrong. Upon closer inspection, the old shopkeeper's eyes clearly hid a trace of craftiness.
He immediately understood that there was no such thing as a destructive attribute. It must be that this item was so good that this old fox was tempted. He obviously wanted to use this opportunity to lower the price and trick a rookie like him.
It seemed that this stalk of Spirit Medicine was much more valuable than he had imagined.
He had expected that spiritual herbs that grew in ancient immortal mountains would be better than those of the mortal world due to the influence of the mountains' special aura or the ancient Spirit Qi of Gods and Devils.
But he didn't expect that it would be such a rare commodity that the old shopkeeper became greedy.
This was only the spiritual herb in the outermost area of Black Mist Valley. Chu Chen had a feeling that he was going to make a fortune. At the same time, it also strengthened Chu Chen's determination to learn the skills of a medicine master.
One had to know that the practice of a medicine master required a large amount of spiritual herbs to be consumed. Although it was possible to recover the cost by refining pills, there was almost no return until one reached the level of a medicine master.
This was also the reason why most sect disciples were interested in refining a few cauldrons of medicine, but almost no one wanted to walk the path of a medicine master. It was because they really couldn't afford it.
Generally, only disciples who were fully nurtured by the sect or whose family's wealth could rival that of a country would choose to become a medicine master.
Chu Chen, who was sitting in Black Mist Valley, basically had no shortage of spiritual herbs to refine. The path of medicine master was very promising.
"Shopkeeper, since this medicine has a destructive attribute, I'll keep it for myself to avoid harming others and myself."
"Please don't be like this. Why don't I take a risk and pay you thirty spirit stones to sell it to me?" When the old shopkeeper saw that his business was about to fail, he immediately changed his expression and put on a "friendly" smile. His tone was also very mushy.
"Why don't we do it this way? I remember that all the medicine shops in the sect can sell on consignment. Boss, you can sell it on behalf of me. 10% of the profit will go to you, and the consignment time limit will be 24 hours."
Chu Chen calmly stated his conditions.
"The starting price for consigning is one spirit stone. Little brother, you should think carefully. If the highest bidder is less than thirty spirit stones within twenty-four hours, you will still have to sell it to him and deduct ten percent of the transaction fee to me. You'll lose more than you gain."
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I still have some of these elixirs. Boss, you don't have to worry about me."
Chu Chen casually rejected the old cunning shopkeeper's "good intentions" and insisted on letting him sell it. In the end, he just wanted to see what kind of value the elixirs that could be casually picked in the "Black Mist Valley" had.
"Alright, little brother, this is your consignment number."
............ Chu Chen...... as Chu Chu........................ com.....................
. Although it was Chu Chen's first time consigning something for sale, he knew that as long as he knew the consigning number, he could check the sect's trading system at any time.
Generally speaking, as long as a sect reached a certain scale, it would have its own trading system. Biquan Xianzong was no exception.
To put it simply, it was a trading network system. All the disciples in the sect had a "communication jade tablet" issued by the sect. The disciples could send messages to each other through the "communication jade tablet".
At the same time, they could also use the "communication jade tablet" to send messages to the sect's trading platform. They could discuss the treasures for sale on the platform, and could even make a bid directly.
The sect's trading system was actually a huge message transmission array system.
After putting the "communication jade tablet" back in the hut, Chu Chen did not pay too much attention to it. He went straight to You Leng Valley. After all, Elder Lingxin was not so easy to fool. If he wanted to work under her and learn something, he had to be 120% alert.
As for the purple elixir, he just left it there to sell. Anyway, it was something he picked up casually, so he did not have to pay too much attention to it.
This time, Chu Chen deliberately arrived two hours early. As a result, Elder Lingxin, who appeared on time, did not give him any special task. She just asked him to continue fanning the furnace and washing the herbs, which were the most basic tasks.
Chu Chen did not dare to slack off. He seriously completed these trivial and high-intensity chores.
After a day, he was tempered by the elixir again, and strengthened and consolidated a little.
Chu Chen, who was tired and had a small bottle of "Spirit-gathering Elixir", returned to the hut and was about to fall asleep.
Suddenly, he remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something. Lying on the bed, he took out the "communication jade tablet". He had only used this "communication jade tablet" once before, because if the energy in it was used up, it had to be replenished with Spirit Stones.
Therefore, he did not dare to use it at all. After opening the "communication jade tablet" and selecting to connect to the trading platform, the palm-sized "communication jade tablet" immediately spat out a three-dimensional light screen.
All kinds of trading messages were scrolling on the light screen. For example, "No. 00159" consigned a fire-attribute defensive armor for 7 Spirit Stones.
"No. 00741" consigned a Soul-entangling Sword for 12 Spirit Stones.
Chu Chen entered "No. 01578" to inquire. As a result, when he saw the red price that came into view, he was almost shocked.
"No. 01578" consigned a nameless purple elixir for sale. The current highest bid is 74 Spirit Stones!
Chu Chen wondered if he had seen wrongly. He rubbed his eyes several times to confirm. Suddenly, he found that the bright red number had changed from 74 to 75.
What kind of joke was this? The first elixir that he casually fished out from the edge of the Black Fog Valley was actually priced at 75 Spirit Stones. With these Spirit Stones, he could buy Spirit-gathering Elixirs to speed up his cultivation. That damn "Speed of Tortoise" technique could be saved.
Bursting with joy, Chu Chen decided to take a look at the messages on the light screen.
"This purple elixir should be a second-tier mid-grade elixir. I have already bid 12 Spirit Stones. Everyone, please don't fight with me this time."
"Senior Brother, you want to monopolize the second-tier Purple Cloud Grass for 12 Spirit Stones? Do you think we are fools? Do you think it is so easy to pick up a bargain? "
"Second-tier Purple Cloud Grass? No way!!! I have been looking for it for a long time. I will go to the pharmacy to see the real thing. Fellow Brothers, please be magnanimous. Everyone, please don't randomly raise the price. This little brother is embarrassed. "
"The Purple Cloud Grass is a top-grade elixir that can increase spiritual power. I cannot afford it. To be fair, the final price should be around 80 Spirit Stones."
There were too many messages. Chu Chen did not look at them carefully. Most of the messages were about the elixir that he obtained from the Black Fog Valley. It was as if they already had it in their pockets.
A few of the disciples who were bidding against each other had even begun to threaten and abuse each other. There were even signs that they would come out and fight.
The most interesting thing was that a buyer who bid 50 Spirit Stones was immediately discovered to be the jade tablet number of the old shopkeeper of the pharmacy. He was immediately attacked by a group of disciples, accusing the shopkeeper of embezzlement.
The shopkeeper was very cunning and did not appear to bid again. With his rich experience, he simply pretended to be dead.
Chu Chen really did not understand. These people were actually willing to go to such lengths for an elixir that he casually dug out from the Black Fog Valley. He could only sigh at how inexperienced they were.
However, in the face of the rising red bidding numbers, Chu Chen felt that no matter how high their bids were, he could still understand.
"Where did you get this Spirit Herb from, little brother? It's an ominous item with the Destruction Attribute. If you don't handle it well, it could bring you a fatal disaster!" A hint of fear flashed through the old shopkeeper's eyes.
Chu Chen was startled at first. Then, he faintly felt that something was wrong. Upon closer inspection, he could clearly see a trace of craftiness in the shopkeeper's eyes.
He immediately understood that there was no such thing as a destructive attribute. It must be that this elixir was so good that it moved the old fox's heart. He obviously wanted to use this opportunity to lower the price and trick a rookie like him.
It seemed that this elixir was much more valuable than he had imagined.
He had anticipated that the elixirs that grew in ancient immortal mountains would be affected by the special aura of the mountains. Or perhaps they would be tainted with the spiritual energy of ancient gods and devils. They would be better than the elixirs of the mortal world.
However, he did not expect that this elixir would be so rare that it would cause the old shopkeeper to become greedy.
This was only the elixir in the outermost region of the Black Fog Valley. Chu Chen had a feeling that he was about to strike it rich. At the same time, it also strengthened Chu Chen's determination to learn the skills of a pharmacist.
It had to be known that the practice of a pharmacist involved the consumption of large amounts of elixirs. Although it was possible to recoup the cost by refining pills, before reaching the grandmaster level, there was almost no return on investment.
This was also the reason why most sect disciples were interested in refining a few cauldrons of elixirs, but almost no one wanted to walk the path of a pharmacist. It was because they could not afford it.
Generally, only disciples who were fully nurtured by the sect or whose family's wealth could rival that of a country would choose to become a pharmacist.
Chu Chen, who was sitting in the Black Fog Valley, basically had no shortage of elixirs to refine. The path of a pharmacist was very promising.
"Shopkeeper, since this elixir has a destructive attribute, I'll keep it for myself to avoid harming others and myself."
"Please don't be like this. How about I take a risk and offer you thirty spirit stones? Little brother, sell it to me." When the old shopkeeper saw that his business was about to fail, he immediately changed his expression and put on a "friendly" smile. His tone was also very mushy.
"How about this? I remember that all the sect pharmacies can consign the elixir for sale. Boss, you can consign the elixir for me. Ten percent of the profits will go to boss, and the time limit will be twelve hours."
Chu Chen calmly stated his conditions.
"The starting price for the consigned elixir is one spirit stone. Little brother, think carefully. If the highest bidder is less than thirty spirit stones within twelve hours, you will still have to sell it to him. Then, you will have to deduct ten percent of the commission and give it to me. You will lose more than you gain."
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I still have some elixirs like this. Boss, you don't have to worry about me."
Chu Chen casually rejected the old cunning shopkeeper's "good intentions" and insisted that he sell the elixir. In the end, he just wanted to see the value of an elixir that could be casually picked in the "Black Fog Valley".
"Alright, little brother, this is your consigned number."
Seeing Chu Chen's unusual persistence, the old shopkeeper could only give up his plan of monopolizing the elixir. He took out a blue jade token and handed it to Chu Chen. Then, he carefully took Chu Chen's "purple elixir" and put it away.
Although it was Chu Chen's first time consigning an item for sale, he knew that as long as he knew the consigned number, he could check the sect's trading system for the latest bid at any time.
Generally speaking, as long as a sect reached a certain scale, it would have its own trading system. Biquan Xianzong was no exception.

Chu Chen really did not understand why these people would compete like this for an elixir that he casually dug out from the Black Fog Valley. He could only sigh at how ignorant they were.
