"Senior Brother Ling, do you really want to try alchemy? I have to say that alchemy requires a lot of investment. As far as I know, a set of Spirit Return Golden Pill's herbs are sold for about 30 Low-Rank Reiki. If you don't have the confidence, then the investment will be like a bottomless pit. This is also the reason why only disciples with a 30% success rate will be accepted into the Alchemy Hall!"
After landing in Clear Ancient City, Yang Cheng led Ling Dong around while nagging him. In the end, Ling Dong had no choice but to nod and say, "Junior Brother Yang, rest assured, I more or less have the confidence to succeed!"
"Ha, I knew it! Right, Senior Brother Ling, if you have any extra pills, you must sell me a few bottles first! "Yang Cheng said excitedly after getting a positive answer.
"Let's go, Senior Brother Ling, let's go to the Ten Thousand Hall!" Yang Cheng said, "Senior Brother Ling, I've bought medicinal pills from this Ten Thousand Hall a few times, and I've also sold some herbs that I picked along the way. The shop is big, and the prices aren't bad. Most importantly, this Ten Thousand Hall, as its name suggests, has everything related to medicinal pills, and is very convenient!"
Fortunately, Yang Cheng was leading the way. Even though Ling Dong had spent 10 Low-Rank Reiki to buy a map of the shops in Clear Ancient City, it was still like entering a maze.
The main reason was that there were too many shops in Clear Ancient City. Wine banners and signboards were everywhere, and cultivators were shuttling back and forth. There were forks everywhere, so it was really difficult to find a place.
In Yang Cheng's words, Clear Ancient City was more than a hundred miles long and wide. In this hundred mile range, 99% of it was filled with shops. Anything that a cultivator needed would appear in a shop in Clear Ancient City. If one didn't wander around here for ten days or half a month, they really wouldn't be able to find anything!
"Senior Brother Ling, we've arrived, this is the Ten Thousand Hall! I have come here several times to buy Spirit Return Golden Pills. The quality of the pills is very good, at least much better than those refined by the Sect's blue-clothed disciples! "Yang Cheng pointed to a shop with a bright golden signboard and said to Ling Dong.
From afar, Ling Dong could already smell the strange medicinal smell of the unique medicinal herbs mixed together with the fragrance of medicinal pills.
"Sirs, what do you need?" As soon as they entered the shop, a green-robed cultivator greeted them, his entire body exuding the smell of medicine.
Ling Dong used his Divine Sense to sense the Celestial Transformation Realm martial artists. They were not worth much in the Realm of Wood. Could it be that there were thousands of grey-clothed elite disciples in True Dipper Sect? The black-clothed martial artist in front of him was also a Third Stage Star Transformation martial artist. In terms of cultivation, he was one stage higher than Ling Dong.
"Oh, we need the ingredients to refine the Return Spirit Golden Dan!" Ling Dong said.
"Yes, the two of you have come to the right place. We have the complete set of herbs for refining the Spirit Return Golden Pill here. There is no need for the two of you to go to other places to collect them. One set is sold for 30 pieces of low-grade Reiki. By the way, how many sets do the two of you have? " The green-robed cultivator was very eloquent. As he spoke, he took out a sample and showed it to Ling Dong.
"Well, a hundred sets first!" Ling Dong said.
Although Ling Dong's alchemy skills were very good at refining the Heaven Grade pills in the Tiangang Continent, the Celestial Transformation Realm low-grade pills were of a higher grade than the Heaven Grade pills. Without trying, Ling Dong was not sure about the specific success rate, so he had to try more slowly.
A hundred sets of herbs for the Spirit Return Golden Dan, although it was not a big order, was not bad. The green-robed cultivator responded and went to the back room. He took out a Universe Ring from the back room and was about to collect the herbs for Ling Dong. Using the Universe Ring to store the herbs was several times better than storing them in a storeroom, and there was no loss.
The green-robed cultivator's hands and feet were extremely troublesome. When he turned around, he took out ten sets of herbs. When he was about to take out more, Ling Dong suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, "Wait!"
"Why, what else do the two of you need?" The green-robed cultivator was stunned.
"Please change the main ingredient of the hundred sets of Spirit Return Golden Dan's herbs from the Green Black Gall to the Seahorse Urchin! In addition, pack ten sets of the main ingredient of the Spirit Return Golden Dan's herbs from the Green Black Gall! "Ling Dong instructed.
Hearing this, the green-robed cultivator was stunned and hurriedly said, "The two of you, are you sure you want to buy the herbs for the Spirit Return Golden Dan? By the way, is this your first time trying to refine the Spirit Return Golden Dan? "
"Yes …" Ling Dong nodded.
After getting an affirmative answer, the green-robed cultivator immediately changed his attitude, "I say, the two of you, did you buy a fake Spirit Return Golden Dan's detailed formula from some stall? I have been selling herbs in this Wanquan Hall for more than ten years, and I have never seen anyone change the main ingredient of the Spirit Return Golden Dan to the Seahorse Urchin!
The medicinal properties of the Green Black Gall and the Seahorse Urchin are completely different. Could it be that the two of you have been cheated? However, as you learn from experience, our shop has a detailed formula for refining the Spirit Return Golden Dan. One set is priced at ten mid-grade Reiki … "
"No, please change the main ingredient of the Green Black Gall to the Seahorse Urchin!" Hearing that the green-robed cultivator was still going to be long-winded, Ling Dong directly interrupted him and said directly.
"This customer, I am really not lying to you. You have really been cheated. In the Spirit Return Golden Dan's formula, there is indeed no Seahorse Urchin. Every year, there are too many customers like you who are cheated for small gains …" Seeing that Ling Dong insisted, the green-robed cultivator put on a lecturing tone and directly scolded Ling Dong!
Ling Dong's face darkened. Just as he was about to flare up, Yang Cheng at the side said with extreme dissatisfaction, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? If I tell you to change it, then change it. Just listen to my senior apprentice-brother's instructions. Why are you so long-winded?"
"I'm long-winded? Are there people like you? I kindly gave you pointers, but you scolded me instead. I have seen stupid people, but I have never seen people as stupid as you … "
"Good boy, you actually dare to scold people …"
"Everyone, everyone, please don't be angry. If there is anything in this shop that is not good enough, please forgive us!" This quarrel was a little loud and alarmed the people inside. A brown-robed ancient martial art practitioner with a face full of friendliness rushed out hurriedly and tried to smooth things over!
"Shopkeeper Yin, these two people came to buy the Spirit Return Golden Dan's medicinal ingredients and insisted on changing the main ingredient of the Green Black Gall to the Seahorse Urchin. I kindly advised them, but they scolded me instead!" The green-robed cultivator complained first.
However, that Shopkeeper Yin was also very gentlemanly. He still cupped his hands in front of Ling Dong and Yang Cheng and said, "Both of you, my apologies. This shop is not good enough. Please forgive us! However, what the shopkeeper said is also true. The Spirit Return Golden Dan's main ingredient is only the Green Black Gall, not the Seahorse Urchin. Moreover, the price of the Seahorse Urchin is twice that of the Green Black Gall. Could it be that both of you have been deceived by someone? "
"No. Shopkeeper, feel free to change the Green Black Gall to the Seahorse Urchin. In addition, prepare ten sets of authentic medicinal ingredients for refining the Spirit Return Golden Dan. Don't worry about the rest!" At this point, Ling Dong was also a little depressed. The two people in front of him were kind. Although the attitude of the green-robed cultivator was a little bad, it was not good for him to flare up.
Seeing that Ling Dong's tone was so firm, Shopkeeper Yin was also tactful. After responding, he instructed the green-robed cultivator, "Why aren't you doing as the customer requested!"
Since the shopkeeper had spoken, the green-robed cultivator could only glare at Ling Dong and Yang Cheng with dissatisfaction before doing this task.
It was also at this time that Ling Dong and Yang Cheng understood why the green-robed cultivator tried so hard to prevent Ling Dong from exchanging the Green Black Gall to the Seahorse Urchin.
The main ingredient of the Spirit Return Golden Dan was the Green Black Gall, but it was all in pieces. Moreover, the shop had automatically combined the medicinal ingredients for the Spirit Return Golden Dan. It was very troublesome and troublesome to pick them out again.
After spending almost an hour, the green-robed cultivator only managed to make thirty sets. Seeing that the speed was so slow, the green-robed cultivator simply stopped being picky and began to mix the medicinal ingredients one by one. By the time he had made a hundred sets, it was already two hours later.
"A Seahorse Urchin costs ten Reiki each, but it is twice as expensive as the Green Black Gall. Therefore, the price of each set of the hundred sets of medicinal ingredients that the two of you have made is thirty-five low-grade Reiki. In addition to these ten sets of authentic Spirit Return Golden Dan medicinal ingredients …"
The green-robed cultivator deliberately emphasized the word "authentic", his eyes full of dissatisfaction. "A total of three thousand eight hundred low-grade Reiki, thank you!"
After receiving the medicinal ingredients, Ling Dong swiftly paid the crystal stones. Under the smiling face of Shopkeeper Yin, Ling Dong and Yang Cheng turned and walked out of Wanquan Hall.
"Tsk, two idiots!" Seeing Ling Dong and Yang Cheng walk out, the green-robed cultivator spat lightly, "Shopkeeper, just you watch. In a few days, when these two idiots turn their several thousand Reiki into ashes, they will start talking about how good I am …"
How sensitive were the ears of a Star Transformation Realm cultivator? Even if they were a hundred meters away, they would still be able to hear these words clearly, let alone this close to them!
"You bastard, who the hell are you calling an idiot?" Yang Cheng immediately turned and started cursing.
"What a sharp tongue!"
However, to Yang Cheng's surprise, Ling Dong was even more ruthless than him. With a light shout, Ling Dong flicked his finger and a golden Adamantine Drill flew towards the green-robed cultivator's mouth with a sharp whistle!
Although his master, Erebus, had told Ling Dong to be cautious and to prioritize his own life, Ling Dong understood what Erebus meant. Don't cause trouble, but don't be afraid of it. When it's time to make a move, make a move!
"Hmph!" When the green-robed cultivator saw Ling Dong's Adamantine Drill, his eyes revealed a look of disdain. From his point of view, Ling Dong was only a Level Two Star Transformation Realm cultivator. How could he possibly pose a threat to a Level Three Star Transformation Realm cultivator?
He extended his palm, which was covered in flames, and confidently welcomed Ling Dong's Adamantine Drill!
"Bang … Ahh …"
When the two forces collided, the green-robed cultivator cried out in pain. In his carelessness, he had actually been injured by Ling Dong's Adamantine Drill. If it wasn't for Shopkeeper Yin blocking the aftershock, the scene would have been spectacular!
However, what these two didn't know was that Ling Dong only wanted to teach them a lesson. Otherwise, Ling Dong would have directly used the acquired Fire Spirit Drill!
"Shopkeeper, these two bastards don't know how to appreciate kindness. They were obviously cheated. I kindly reminded them, but they still dared to cause trouble in the store. You should quickly teach them a lesson!" Being injured in one strike, and with Yang Cheng's Level Four Star Transformation Realm cultivation, the green-robed cultivator was terrified and directly complained!
Seeing Ling Dong make a move, Shopkeeper Yin's face darkened. However, before he could speak, Ling Dong spoke first!
Ling Dong was truly disgusted by this ignorant shopkeeper. Pill recipes were dead, but people were alive. Many pill recipes were obtained through countless trials and tribulations. Who said that seahorse urchins couldn't be used as the main ingredient?
"Who said I was cheated? Who said that it was wrong for me to use seahorse urchins to replace the Green Gentian? "As a newcomer, Ling Dong didn't want to make a big deal out of this!
"Who else needs to say it? In this Manchurian Ancient City, as long as one has anything to do with alchemy, who doesn't know that the main ingredient of the Spirit Returning Golden Pill is the Green Gentian? If you use seahorse urchins to refine the Spirit Returning Golden Pill, that would be a miracle. Even if you beat me to death, I won't do it! "The green-robed cultivator refuted!
"Hmph, what if I use seahorse urchins to refine the Spirit Returning Golden Pill? What are you going to do? "
