"1,000 medium-grade Reiki. Could Brother Ling sell me the detailed pill formula for the Spirit Return Golden Pill, which uses seahorse urchins as the main ingredient?" After leading Ling Dong and Yang Cheng to the back hall and offering them tea, Shopkeeper Yin directly offered a price to Ling Dong!
"The detailed pill formula for the Spirit Return Golden Horse Pill? Buyout? 1,000? "
When he heard this price, the corners of Ling Dong's mouth curled up into a faint smile. He didn't say anything. He just picked up his teacup and took a sip of the fragrant tea. He slowly tasted it, as if the price had nothing to do with Ling Dong.
Yang Cheng, who was standing to the side, had been a little anxious for Ling Dong when he'd heard the price of 1,000 medium-grade Reiki. However, when he saw Ling Dong's attitude, he wasn't anxious anymore. Based on Ling Dong's various performances today, Yang Cheng seemed to have realized something. When he did things in front of Ling Dong, he also considered propriety.
"Brother Ling, I'll tell you the truth. Not many people in Clear Ancient City would dare to accept this new pill formula. This old man has been running the Ten Thousand Complete Hall in Clear Ancient City for many years and has received the recognition of many of my peers. At Clear Ancient City's auction, I have the qualifications to recommend new pill formulas and new elixirs. That's why I said buyout. 1,000 medium-grade Reiki is indeed not a low price! "
When he saw Ling Dong's attitude, Shopkeeper Yin wasn't in a hurry. He sipped his tea and leisurely tried to persuade Ling Dong.
"Shopkeeper Yin's words are reasonable. In that case, Ling will take his leave first!" As he spoke, Ling Dong gently put down his teacup and got up.
Ling Dong saw that Shopkeeper Yin was using the attitude of a profiteer to play psychological warfare. Although Ling Dong also knew how to play this kind of trick. However, Ling Dong wasn't willing to spend another two to four hours arguing with Shopkeeper Yin and fighting for some space in the price.
Usually, when arguing with profiteers, even if you could obtain some considerable benefits in the end, these profiteers would still take advantage of you in reality. This was because once you argued with them, you would be trapped in the price range set by the profiteers. This was especially true when Ling Dong was in the seller's market!
When Shopkeeper Yin saw that Ling Dong was about to leave, he was surprised and a little anxious. He had thought that Ling Dong would bargain with him. as long as Ling Dong bargained with him, wouldn't his glib tongue, wouldn't it be easy to win? But he didn't expect that Ling Dong wouldn't respond to him at all!
"One thousand five hundred mid-grade Spirit Crystals, Brother Ling, this is an extremely high price. If you don't believe me, you can take a stroll around the entire Qing Dynasty Ancient City and see who else would be willing to pay you such a high price …"
However, what Shopkeeper Yin didn't expect was that even if he directly increased the price by 50%, Ling Dong wasn't moved at all. Ling Dong's footsteps did not even stop as he strode out. Yang Cheng also hurriedly got up and followed.
"Two thousand, Brother Ling. Two thousand mid-grade Reiki. This is a sky-high price …"
Shopkeeper Yin kept increasing the price, but Ling Dong's behavior almost made Shopkeeper Yin faint. Ling Dong completely ignored Shopkeeper Yin's price and kept walking out. He was about to walk out of the shop.
Shopkeeper Yin was anxious and hurriedly said, "Brother Ling, please wait, please wait! Tell me the truth. Are you selling the detailed recipe of the Spirit Gathering Golden Horse Pill or not? If you are sincere, name a price! "
In fact, it wasn't that Shopkeeper Yin couldn't beat Ling Dong in a business war. The main reason was that Ling Dong had the initiative. As the shopkeeper of an old medicine and elixir shop, he was very clear about the benefits that the new recipe of the Spirit Gathering Golden Horse Pill could bring him.
When he heard these words, Ling Dong's footsteps paused. Only then did he stop and turn around. After pondering for a moment, he opened his mouth and said, "Ten thousand Middle Spiritual Crystals. If shopkeeper Yin can accept it, then this matter is settled. If not, then I will not waste your time!"
"What? Ten thousand mid-grade Reiki?" Hearing this price, before Shopkeeper Yin could exclaim, Yang Cheng couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Obviously, even if Yang Cheng had expected Ling Dong to be so greedy, he didn't expect it to be so big.
When Shopkeeper Yin heard this price, he smiled bitterly. "Brother Ling, you are too good at joking. A detailed recipe of the Spirit Gathering Golden Horse Pill is worth ten low-grade Reiki.
You're just changing the main ingredient. Even if it's a detailed formula, I can hire a few skilled alchemists and spend a few months to refine it. The price I'm paying isn't even half of what you're asking for … "
"Haha, Shopkeeper Yin also said that in a few months, maybe half a year, the detailed recipe of the Spirit Gathering Golden Horse Pill can be bought with one mid-grade Reiki. Shopkeeper Yin is a businessman. You don't need Ling to remind you of this business opportunity, right? Ten thousand mid-grade Reiki, Shopkeeper Yin, give me a definite price! "Ling Dong said indifferently.
"Business opportunity, I understand. But Brother Ling, ten thousand mid-grade Reiki is a bit too high. How about I give you the highest price, four thousand … "
"Junior Yang, let's go!" When Ling Dong heard Shopkeeper Yin raise the price, he didn't even give Shopkeeper Yin a chance to negotiate. He called out to him, turned around and left.
Shopkeeper Yin panicked and quickly shouted, "Don't, six thousand, no, eight thousand, eight …" Seeing that Ling Dong didn't have any intention of stopping, Shopkeeper Yin was like a deflated balloon. He was extremely depressed. "Alright, ten thousand, Brother Ling, you can come back …"
"Shopkeeper Yin, your old eyesight is really not for show!"
Hearing Shopkeeper Yin agree to his outrageous price, Ling Dong was all smiles and flattered Shopkeeper Yin. Since he had ruthlessly taken the other party's flesh, he should at least give the other party some peace, right?
"Damn, you really dare to ask for such an exorbitant price. I asked for a thousand, and you dare to ask for ten thousand. If it wasn't for the fact that you seem to know your stuff, I would have ignored you for a few days!" Shopkeeper Yin rolled his eyes at Ling Dong in annoyance. Soon after, he shrewdly started to talk about the conditions.
"I will pay for the ten thousand mid-grade Reiki. But Brother Ling, please remember that it is a buyout! Within a year, you cannot reveal the pill formula of the Spirit Returning Golden Horse Pill to anyone.
Within a year, if you want to sell the Spirit Returning Golden Horse Pill that you refine, you must sell it to Wan Quan Hall. Of course, we will not lose out on the price. For a short period of time, I'll calculate the price at 50% above the price of Spirit Returning Golden Pills. In the future, the market will follow the trend.
In addition, within five days, you must refine twenty bottles of the Spirit Returning Golden Horse Pill for me. Even if I want to sell the Spirit Returning Golden Horse Pill, I will have to take out a few pills for others to try! For the first few conditions, Brother Ling, you must draw out your Star Soul and swear an oath! "
Shopkeeper Yin, on the other hand, was counting his fingers as he listed the conditions with Ling Dong in an extremely serious manner.
Ling Dong agreed to these conditions without hesitation. Since he had already taken the ten thousand mid-grade Reiki from Shopkeeper Yin, these were his obligations. Ling Dong would never do something that involved his daughter and three families.
In less than an hour, Ling Dong and Shopkeeper Yin had cleaned up the entire transaction. In the end, Ling Dong took another hundred sets of ingredients for the Spirit Returning Golden Horse Pill from Shopkeeper Yin. This time, the price was much cheaper.
The original price of one set of ingredients for the Spirit Returning Golden Horse Pill was thirty-five low-grade Reiki. After the discount, it was only twenty-eight low-grade Reiki.
After refining pills for four days in the Wan Quan Hall, Ling Dong estimated that the success rate of refining the Spirit Return Golden Horse Pill in his hands would reach 40%. Out of ten sets of ingredients, it would not be a problem to successfully refine four sets.
Moreover, the most eye-catching thing was Ling Dong's speed. Under normal circumstances, Ling Dong would be able to refine a bottle of Spirit Returning Golden Horse Pill in three hours. For an ordinary alchemist, it would be impossible for them to refine the pill without six to eight hours.
With such expenses and such efficiency, even if the Spirit Returning Golden Horse Pill was sold as an ordinary Spirit Returning Golden Pill, with Ling Dong's success rate and refining speed, he would still be able to make a huge profit.
Moreover, in Ling Dong's eyes, the price of the Spirit Returning Golden Horse Pill would be as Shopkeeper Yin had said. It would be fifty percent more expensive than the Spirit Returning Golden Pill. In some special circumstances, it might even be seventy to eighty percent more expensive than the Spirit Returning Golden Pill.
Most of the martial artists who could consume pills without restraint did not lack Reiki. What they lacked was time and cultivation speed. Although the Spirit Returning Golden Horse Pill's thirty percent increase in medicinal effect was not huge, it was terrifying when accumulated over a long period of time.
Continuously consuming the Spirit Returning Golden Horse Pill for three years was equivalent to continuously consuming the Spirit Returning Golden Pill for four years. If this number was multiplied by ten, the martial artist who consumed the Spirit Returning Golden Horse Pill for cultivation would have ten more years of cultivation than the martial artist who consumed the Spirit Returning Golden Pill for cultivation.
This was also the value of the Spirit Returning Golden Horse Pill.
"Brother Ling, when you are free, refine a few more cauldrons of Spirit Returning Golden Horse Pill. Who knows, when the market opens in a few days, this thing will sell very well. You can also take this opportunity to earn more!" Speaking to this point, Shopkeeper Yin chuckled and said, "However, you have made a windfall this time. It is still unknown whether you will be interested in the little tricks of alchemy!"
"Hehe, Ling made a small fortune. I am afraid that Shopkeeper Yin will make a lot of money in the future too! Goodbye! " After leaving behind these words, Ling Dong and Yang Cheng left. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from the streets that led to Da Da.
"Senior Brother Ling, what are we going to do now?"
After leaving the Wan Quan Hall, Yang Cheng asked respectfully. Today's matter at the Wan Quan Hall made Yang Cheng admire this young Senior Brother Ling Dong. The position of Senior Brother Ling Dong had been solidified in his heart.
"We are going to rent a house!" Ling Dong said.
Yang Cheng was curious, "Why, we are not going to live in an inn? In this Clear Ancient City, there are very few places that can be rented out except in the Spiritual Mountain area! "
"Of course we are going to rent a Spiritual Academy in the Spiritual Mountain area. Junior Brother Yang, do you think it is better to spend the Reiki, or to keep it in the Universe Ring as a symbol of wealth? "Ling Dong asked.
"Eh … Do you still need to ask? Of course we are going to spend it. " Yang Cheng answered with certainty, but at the same time, he despised his shortsighted behavior of not spending the Reiki for more than a year.
"Alright, lead the way! Oh right, where are we going to rent a Spiritual Academy? "Ling Dong asked.
"Of course we are going to the Constellation Heaven Monarch's Mansion …"
"What, we have to go to the Constellation Heaven Monarch's Mansion to rent a Spiritual Academy?" Ling Dong could not help but be shocked.
