There were many people like Liu Ruyin in the Business Alliance who were responsible for trading with cultivators. Although they received a monthly salary, it was not high enough to meet their needs for cultivation.
The tips from customers were one of their additional sources of income. Of course, people like Liu Ruyin who were willing to put down their pride to serve customers were another way to make money.
The people in the Business Alliance were all Itinerant Cultivators. Before they entered the Business Alliance, they were poor. They knew better than any other cultivator the cruelty of the cultivation world and the difficulty of survival. Therefore, serving customers was not something unacceptable. It was all forced by life.
Walking out of the Tianji Business Alliance, Lu Ye sighed.
He originally wanted to ask if he could sell those storage bags, but Liu Ruyin had made him forget about it.
It was not good to turn back, so he could only wait for the next time. He originally planned to set off for the Jade Blood Sect's station, but now it seemed that there was no need to rush.
He had some good things on hand, so digesting them and completely transforming them into his own cultivation was the right way. The higher his cultivation, the safer his journey.
As for staying in the Tianji Business Alliance, Lu Ye did not consider it. He was short of money at the moment. One Spirit Stone per night did not seem much, but if he had to stay for many days, it would be a huge expense.
With four Spirit Stones left, Lu Ye found an elixir store based on his memory during the day and spent two Spirit Stones to buy two Yun Spirit Pills. Then, he returned to the street where he had set up the stall during the day.
He casually took out a few ores from his storage bag and placed them on the table. Lu Ye sat cross-legged and took out a Spirit Stone.
It was the first time he had obtained a Spirit Stone, which could assist in cultivation.
Lu Ye had already tried taking elixirs to cultivate. Now, he wanted to try cultivating with the help of Spirit Stones to compare the efficiency. If the efficiency was good, he would not have to spend Spirit Stones to buy elixirs in the future.
Although he had cultivated without Spirit Stones, he had seen pigs run before. During the day, he had seen many stall owners selling things while cultivating with a Spirit Stone in their hand. They were very carefree.
Now that he had learned something, Lu Ye discovered a benefit of using Spirit Stones to cultivate.
That was, he could stop cultivating at any time. It was unlike taking elixirs, where the elixir force would dissolve in the abdomen. If he did not guide it in time, it would cause the elixir force to accumulate.
However, using spirit stones to cultivate was different. If he encountered any problems, he could directly interrupt his cultivation and it would not affect him at all.
Even at night, the street was bustling with noise and excitement. From time to time, cultivators would come to inquire about the price. Lu Ye dealt with them just like he did during the day and miraculously made a deal. One of the ores was sold for five spirit stones.
When dawn arrived, Lu Ye stopped cultivating. He opened his palm and looked at the spirit stone. It had only shrunk a little. He then looked at the spirit force in his tenth aperture and frowned.
After a night of trying, he came to a few conclusions.
Using spirit stones to cultivate was much safer than using spirit pills. Firstly, the cultivation process could be interrupted at any time. Secondly, there were no hidden dangers when using spirit stones. This was the same as breathing in and out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
However, in terms of efficiency, it was far inferior to swallowing Spirit Pills.
Perhaps it was due to his lack of talent that made it difficult for him to guide spiritual energy into his body. Lu Ye felt that with his current cultivation efficiency, it would take him several days of non-stop cultivation before he could consume a single spirit stone.
Other cultivators might be more efficient, but they definitely couldn't compare to using spirit pills.
As for the price-performance ratio …
The value of a spirit stone was basically the same as a yun spirit pill. The increase in spiritual energy after consuming a spirit stone was about the same as the increase in spiritual energy after consuming a yun spirit pill. Therefore, the price-performance ratio was about the same.
After this test, Lu Ye finally understood why everyone needed to exchange spirit stones for spirit pills to cultivate. In terms of efficiency, taking spirit pills was indeed more efficient. Naturally, everyone liked it more.
When the sky was about to brighten, Lu Ye packed up his stall and walked out of the market.
Since he didn't want to spend money on lodging in the Tianji Business Alliance, he could only find another place.
He prepared to return to the cave in the Azure Cloud Mountain. It was still safe there and he wouldn't be disturbed when he cultivated.
The reason why he didn't leave at night was mainly because it wasn't safe to travel at night.
Before leaving, he spent another two spirit stones to buy a lot of food. Hunting in the mountains was very time-consuming, and there weren't many beasts in that area.
Checking his current assets, Lu Ye had forty-seven yun spirit pills, five low-rank spirit stones, nearly thirty spirit talismans, six healing pills, nearly thirty magnetic ores of various sizes, and some ores that Lu Ye couldn't name. He also had four sets of clothes.
Compared to when he first entered the Spirit Stream Battlefield, his assets were almost the same, but his cultivation had improved tremendously.
Lu Ye believed that if he could convert all these things into strength, he might be able to break through to the Spirit Stream Realm.
However, this kind of thing couldn't be rushed and needed to be done slowly.
There were many cultivators coming in and out of the market, most of them in groups. There were also lone wolves like Lu Ye, who were Rogue Cultivators that didn't care about.
When Lu Ye left the market, it was just before dawn. He was alone, so it was inevitable that he had to be careful.
After smoothly entering Azure Cloud Mountain, Lu Ye flew all the way, deliberately circling around a few times to make sure that no one was following him. Only then did he follow the path out of the mountain.
Before noon, Lu Ye rushed back to his previous cave.
To his surprise, there was actually some movement in the cave. He carefully crept in, holding a spirit talisman in his hand, ready to use, but when he took a closer look, his nose almost went crooked from anger.
Inside the cave, a snow-white figure was lying on the ground, snoring. Who else could it be but Da Hu?
Yi Yi floated out from Da Hu's head and met Lu Ye's eyes. The scene was a little awkward.
"What are you doing in my house?" Lu Ye asked.
Yi Yi also asked, "Didn't you leave?"
"I'm back!"
A moment later, Da Hu's huge figure rushed out of the cave and turned back to roar at Lu Ye. On Da Hu's head, Yi Yi was furious, gnashing her teeth, "Big liar! You have no faith! "
"Scram!" Lu Ye's shout came from the cave.
After driving away the spirit and tiger who had taken over his nest, Lu Ye ate something and entered a state of cultivation.
First, he took out the two yun spirit pills he had bought with spirit stones and took one of them. After the pill dissolved in his abdomen, he guided the Spirit Qi into his Spirit Aperture.
The Spirit Qi in the tenth aperture slowly accumulated.
When the pill's energy was completely consumed, Lu Ye opened his eyes and found a problem. The effect of the yun spirit pill he bought from the market square didn't seem to be as good as those given to him by the Head Teacher. The difference wasn't too big, but there was indeed a gap. This could be inferred from the Spirit Qi accumulated in his Spirit Aperture.
He didn't stop and took another yun spirit pill. After the pill's energy was completely consumed, he was even more certain of this result.
Then, he took out the yun spirit pill he got from the Heavenly Secret Commerce Union and took it.
After comparing, he finally came to the conclusion that Liu Ruyin didn't lie to him. The yun spirit pills in the Heavenly Secret Commerce Union were indeed better than those sold outside, similar to those given to him by the Head Teacher.
It seemed that he didn't spend the money in vain. If he wanted to buy pills in the future, he would have to go to the Heavenly Secret Commerce Union. At least the quality was guaranteed.
