For Ye Feng, the Gathering Essence Pill and Xingyuan Pill are crucial, and the more he has, the better. He needs to refine all of the Six Elemental Forces within him into True Essence, so the amount of Heaven and Earth Origin Power required is considerable.
"The Gathering Essence Pill is a second-grade pill, priced at one thousand taels each, while the third-grade Xingyuan Pill costs five thousand taels each! Young Master Zhou, rest assured, our pills are top-quality, refined by the Heavenly Mechanism Sect's Alchemy Hall. The inferior pills on the market cannot compare to those from Qianyue Pharmacy," Qian Chongyu said, revealing the prices of these two pills, which genuinely startled Ye Feng.
Previously in the Northern Jin Kingdom, he had never lacked for Gathering Essence Pills and Xingyuan Pills; some were given by others, while some he found himself. He never expected these pills to be so valuable. The price of the fourth-grade Mystic Heaven Pill must be even more shocking.
"Does Young Master Zhou want the Mystic Heaven Pill?" Qian Chongyu asked with slight surprise. The Mystic Heaven Pill is used by warriors at the Late Stage of the Gale Martial Realm to accumulate True Essence for breaking through to the Xuanwu Realm. The value of such a pill is evident; even Qianyue Pharmacy has limited stock.
Ye Feng feigned calmness and waved his hand, saying, "I naturally have no use for such pills; I just wanted to ask for my family's elders."
"I see!" Qian Chongyu smiled in realization, his gaze toward Ye Feng becoming increasingly bright. In his view, if he could establish a connection with Ye Feng's family behind him, it would be a significant business opportunity that could elevate his status within the Gongsun Family.
With this in mind, Qian Chongyu's tone became even gentler as he leaned slightly forward and said, "Currently, our stock of Mystic Heaven Pills at Qianyue Pharmacy is limited. May I ask how many Young Master Zhou needs?"
Ye Feng replied, "First, let's discuss the price. If it's reasonable, I could consider a bulk purchase; however, I cannot make such decisions alone and need to consult my family's elders. I wonder what kind of discount Senior Qian can offer me."
Upon hearing this, Qian Chongyu's excitement grew even more. He had already deduced that Ye Feng was a young master from a prominent family who came not only to participate in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect's entrance examination but also to procure a batch of pills for his family. Such a wealthy individual was not someone he could afford to overlook.
"Young Master Zhou, we rarely offer discounts at Qianyue Pharmacy; however, if you need a large quantity, I can provide an 80% discount. This is a privilege reserved for our gold card customers," Qian Chongyu said. "However, for a fourth-grade pill like the Mystic Heaven Pill, it cannot be purchased with mere silver; it requires Elemental Crystals instead. One Mystic Heaven Pill requires one hundred Elemental Crystals for purchase."
"Only accepting Elemental Crystals?" Ye Feng was slightly taken aback. Elemental Crystals, also known as Vital Energy Crystals, are special gemstones that contain Heaven and Earth Origin Power. He had heard of such crystals in the Northern Jin Kingdom and had obtained one from the Silver Moon Secret Realm; however, that was an Earth Origin Crystal that refined pure Earth Elemental Power and was extremely rare. Ordinary Elemental Crystals generally do not have specific attributes and contain mixed Vital Energy encompassing all properties.
Naturally, he did not possess any Elemental Crystals. In fact, throughout the entire Western Continent, Elemental Crystals were scarce. Even if one or two appeared occasionally, they were typically used by warriors for cultivation rather than as currency for trade.
Seeing that Ye Feng seemed unfamiliar with Elemental Crystals, Qian Chongyu did not find it strange; after all, only warriors at the Gangwu Realm would use Elemental Crystals for cultivation and trade. Warriors at the Origin Martial Realm rarely encountered them. He speculated that Ye Feng was merely a young master from a family out on his first trial and that his elders had not informed him about these details.
"That's right; we only accept Elemental Crystals for purchases. I assume Young Master Zhou has not dealt with this type of pill before. Generally, pills above fourth grade and earth-level Supreme Technique manuals or thousand-year-old medicinal materials are traded exclusively through Elemental Crystals in the market."
Subsequently, Qian Chongyu patiently explained matters related to Elemental Crystals to Ye Feng.
In the Eastern Continent, Elemental Crystals are divided into two types: Common Origin Crystals and Essence Crystals. Common Origin Crystals are abundant and widely circulated in the market; they contain mixed Heaven and Earth Origin Power. If warriors at the Gangwu Realm wish to cultivate using them, they must refine out Vital Energy that aligns with their own attributes. As for Essence Crystals, they are much rarer than Common Origin Crystals and contain single-attribute Vital Energy crystals that do not require refinement; thus they are highly favored by warriors at the Gangwu Realm.
The exchange rate for Essence Crystals and Common Origin Crystals is one to ten, and one Common Origin Crystal can be exchanged for One Thousand Taels of Silver or one hundred taels of gold. However, very few people are willing to exchange Elemental Crystals for silver or gold, so even if Ye Feng wants to buy Elemental Crystals with gold and silver, he would need to pay a much higher price.
"If Young Master Zhou does not have enough Elemental Crystals, we also accept silver exchanges. However, the price will definitely not be at the theoretical market rate; it will require at least one thousand three hundred taels of silver to exchange for one Elemental Crystal."
Ye Feng hesitated for a moment. The total amount of gold and silver he had was equivalent to over five hundred thousand taels of silver. He initially thought it was a huge fortune, but it turned out that it could only buy three or four Mystic Heaven Pills at most.
Of course, Ye Feng's wealth was far beyond just this amount of silver. In his storage bag, besides a large sum of silver and gold, there were also some Supreme Techniques, Treasure Artifacts, and millennium herbs. Altogether, it was definitely an astonishing fortune. However, he did not want to reveal these treasures just yet; as the saying goes, "A common man is innocent but carries a jewel," showing off wealth would only bring him greater trouble.
Although one Mystic Heaven Pill could directly elevate one of his Supreme Techniques to the late stage of the Origin Martial Realm, such a price was rather steep, especially since there would be many future needs for silver.
"Mystic Heaven Pill is a fourth-grade pill; I cannot make that decision. However, I can reserve Gathering Essence Pills and Xingyuan Pills for you." Qian Chongyu looked forward eagerly. Ye Feng naturally did not want to leave empty-handed and nodded in agreement, saying, "I will purchase one hundred Gathering Essence Pills and twenty Xingyuan Pills. How does that sound?"
Ye Feng had considered this thoroughly; these pills combined could allow all six of his Supreme Techniques to reach around the second or third level of the Origin Martial Realm, approaching the mid-stage level. Although this would not significantly enhance his combat power, the total amount of Vital Energy in his Dantian would be six times that of martial artists at the same level.
In battles between evenly matched warriors, the total amount of Vital Energy often determines the final outcome.
Qian Chongyu felt slightly disappointed; he certainly hoped Ye Feng would place a large order immediately. Although there were not many Mystic Heaven Pills in the pharmacy, they had been stored for too long. Even with good preservation, their potency would diminish day by day, and their quality would inevitably decline over time.
"That's fine; after all, it's our first collaboration. If Young Master Zhou is satisfied, we can negotiate the price for future Mystic Heaven Pills. One hundred Gathering Essence Pills and twenty Xingyuan Pills will total two hundred thousand taels of silver. Since this is your first visit, I can offer you a ten percent discount—making it a total of one hundred eighty thousand taels of silver."
In Qian Chongyu's view, Ye Feng's purchase of these pills would surely be sent back to his family for distribution among relatives. If he knew that Ye Feng intended to consume all these pills himself, he probably wouldn't believe it no matter what.
When martial artists consume pills, the medicinal power impacts their Meridians. Ordinary martial artists have limited Meridian resilience; typically after using two or three pills, they need a long period of rest before consuming more. Once their Meridians recover, they can take more pills again. Generally speaking, the higher the grade of the pill, the greater its impact on the Meridians. For instance, even Late Stage Gale Martial Realm warriors can only consume one Fourth-Rank Xuantian Pill at a time and often require a month of nurturing before taking another Mystic Heaven Pill.
Qianyue Pharmacy is one of the top pharmacies in Ning Cang City with high efficiency. The pills Ye Feng needed were quickly delivered; both parties settled their accounts pleasantly.
After receiving the silver, Qian Chongyu solemnly presented a silver token with a smile and said, "From now on, Young Master Zhou will be our silver card customer at Qianyue Pharmacy. All pills will enjoy a ten percent discount. Of course, if Young Master Zhou can help us connect with your family to reserve a sufficient quantity of Mystic Heaven Pills in the future, this token can be exchanged for a golden one at any time."
Ye Feng naturally did not refuse Qian Chongyu's goodwill; resources like pills are consumable goods that are always better in larger quantities as they may come in handy later.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, Senior Qian. I will definitely report this matter to my family elders. I believe that with Qianyue Pharmacy's sincerity, we should be able to satisfy our Zhou family."
Qian Chongyu naturally expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
The two chatted for a while longer, until half an hour later, Ye Feng got up to leave after casually purchasing some healing elixirs.
The first transaction in the Eastern Continent was quite successful; the only regret was that two flies who had been following him for a long time actually tracked him all the way to Qianyue Pharmacy.
The two who were tailing him were at the Yuan Martial Realm Seventh Level, but he paid them no mind. Within the Origin Martial Realm, aside from genius experts at the peak of the Ninth Level who could slightly contend with him, others were not worth mentioning.
Killing someone in Ning Cang City was a troublesome matter. The two were reluctant to act because they hoped to track him to a secluded corner before making their move. However, Ning Cang City was currently bustling with people, and there were basically no secluded spots available.
"Second Brother, it seems he has plans to leave the city?" Fourth Brother looked at Ye Feng's back from a distance, his gloomy expression gradually turning excited. He had just seen Ye Feng enter Qianyue Pharmacy and linger for quite a while. He must have purchased a large number of elixirs; after all, it was one of the top pharmacies in Ning Cang City, which ordinary martial artists would not enter unless they were wealthy young masters.
The second brother was a middle-aged man with a long spear on his back and dark skin, making it hard to discern his expression. He was known for his maturity and steadiness in Ghostly Blade Sect. At this moment, his emotions were far less excited than Fourth Brother's; instead, he seemed somewhat worried.
"This kid being valued by Qianyue Pharmacy likely means he has an impressive background. Should we go back and consult with the boss?" Second Brother said hesitantly.
"We can't delay, Second Brother! Once this kid leaves the city, even if his father is the King of Heaven, what can he do? We can make it clean when the time comes—destroy the body and erase all traces. No one will know it was us!" Fourth Brother naturally disagreed with waiting after finally getting an opportunity.
