After Ye Qingxuan exchanged for the Spell, he left the Transmitting Hall and arrived at the Myriad Things Hall!
The Myriad Things Hall is where the Xuantian Sect exchanges various resources and items.
Ye Qingxuan came to the Myriad Things Hall because he wanted to exchange for a Pill Furnace to use for Alchemy.
Because the resources in the Myriad Things Hall are quite varied, it is not like the Transmitting Hall where one can exchange items independently; instead, it requires human operation.
Given the large number of Disciples in the Xuantian Sect, the Myriad Things Hall specifically set up more than ten operating windows in the main hall.
Each window basically has an attendant responsible for the exchange matters of the Sect Disciples.
Ye Qingxuan walked into the Myriad Things Hall, scanned the area, found an unoccupied window, and stepped forward to ask:
"Hello, attendant, this Disciple wants to exchange for a Pill Furnace. What is the price?"
The attendant in the window heard Ye Qingxuan's words, looked up at Ye Qingxuan, and seeing that Ye Qingxuan only had a Qi Refining Realm cultivation, he spoke:
"A Pill Furnace of Low Grade Magical Artifact level is three hundred contribution points; a Pill Furnace of Medium Grade Magical Artifact level is seven hundred contribution points; a Pill Furnace of High Grade Magical Artifact level is one thousand two hundred contribution points."
Hearing the price of the Pill Furnace, Ye Qingxuan felt like crying and said:
"Attendant, why is the price so expensive?"
After he exchanged for the Spell, he only had eight hundred contribution points left. He had originally wanted to exchange for a top-grade Magical Artifact level Pill Furnace, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even exchange for a High Grade Magical Artifact level Pill Furnace.
The attendant, hearing Ye Qingxuan complain about the price, glanced at him and subconsciously asked:
"New here? Haven't ventured out yet, have you?"
"Uh? Yes!"
Ye Qingxuan nodded honestly.
Apart from the Ye family and the Xuantian Sect, he had never really been to any other places.
Seeing Ye Qingxuan nod in admission, the attendant looked as if it was as expected and said:
"Kid, the Pill Furnaces within our Xuantian Sect, in any Loose Cultivator market outside, would at least double in price. And you still think it's expensive?"
Hearing the attendant's words, Ye Qingxuan gave an embarrassed smile and said apologetically:
"This Disciple was rash. Then please, attendant, give this Disciple a Medium Grade Magical Artifact level Pill Furnace!"
"Mm!"
The attendant in the window nodded slightly, turned around, and handed a small, three-legged Pill Furnace to Ye Qingxuan.
After exchanging for this Pill Furnace, Ye Qingxuan only had one hundred contribution points left.
But he still needed to buy Spirit Medicine, and these one hundred contribution points were clearly not enough.
Remembering that he still had thirty-three thousand three hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones in his storage ring, Ye Qingxuan looked at the attendant and asked:
"Attendant, this Disciple also wants to exchange for Spirit Medicine, but I don't have enough contribution points. Is there any way to purchase them with Spirit Stones?"
Ye Qingxuan understood from the Sect manual that all resources in the Myriad Things Hall needed to be exchanged using contribution points, so he was only asking about channels to buy Spirit Medicine with Spirit Stones!
Regarding this matter, the attendant was not prepared to hide it from Ye Qingxuan and said:
"There's a large market within the Sect where you can trade using Spirit Stones. You can go take a look; the Disciple guarding the teleportation array knows where it is, just ask him and you'll know!"
"Really?"
Hearing that there was a large market within the Xuantian Sect, Ye Qingxuan was pleasantly surprised, but then he hesitated:
"Is this market legal? Does the Sect permit it?"
He hadn't seen any related records about a market in the Sect manual, so he was a bit hesitant.
If it was legal, then once he became skilled in Alchemy, could he also open a shop in the market?
Thinking of this, Ye Qingxuan's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but show excitement on his face.
The attendant heard this, saw the excitement on Ye Qingxuan's face, and gave him a meaningful look, saying:
"Most of the shops in the market are connected to the Elders of the Sect's high-level. Moreover, no matter who opens a shop in the market, the Sect will collect twenty percent of the transaction amount as a management fee. Those setting up stalls also need to pay one hundred contribution points per day as a management fee."
"Is that so?"
Noticing the attendant's gaze, Ye Qingxuan subconsciously rubbed his nose, replied, and was about to leave the Myriad Things Hall for the market.
Then, he suddenly seemed to remember something and casually asked:
"Attendant, what is the price of Spirit Enhancement Pill?"
"Ten contribution points per pill!"
"That expensive?"
Ye Qingxuan exclaimed, his face filled with shock.
As a Blessed Cultivator in training, he could receive thirty Spirit Enhancement Pills a month, which translates to three hundred contribution points a month, not including other hidden benefits.
And cultivating a Blessed Cultivator would take at least decades. Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but wonder if a First Order Blessed Cultivator could really allow the Sect to recoup its investment?
Putting aside the doubts in his heart, Ye Qingxuan then continued to ask:
"Then what is the price of Qi Induction Pill?"
The attendant looked at Ye Qingxuan expressionlessly for a while, making Ye Qingxuan feel uneasy, so he could only look at the attendant with an embarrassed smile.
Finally, the attendant spoke:
"Ten contribution points per bottle, and one bottle contains ten Qi Induction Pills."
Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan compared the two in his mind and found that as First Order Medicinal Pills, there was a tenfold difference in their prices! He couldn't help but say:
"The price difference is too great, isn't it?"
"The price difference is too great? Kid, you should have used both of these Medicinal Pills, right? With such a large price difference, shouldn't it be so?"
Feeling the attendant's increasingly impatient tone, Ye Qingxuan remembered the effects of the two Medicinal Pills; indeed, there was no comparison between them.
So Ye Qingxuan quickly bid farewell:
"Attendant, you've worked hard. This Disciple will be leaving now, thank you!"
After speaking, without waiting for the attendant to react, he quickly ran off!
The attendant in the window saw this and let out a strange laugh!
After leaving the Myriad Things Hall, Ye Qingxuan found the person guarding the teleportation array to inquire about the location of the market, then took the teleportation array to reach the market.
When he reappeared, Ye Qingxuan felt as if he was in a huge city, with Cultivators constantly coming and going outside the teleportation square.
Just as Ye Qingxuan was in a daze, a voice came from behind him:
"This Junior Brother, move forward! Don't block the way!"
Ye Qingxuan heard this, looked back, and saw that the teleportation array behind him was constantly flickering, with people teleporting out of it from time to time.
Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan quickly walked forward, apologizing as he went:
"Senior Brother, my apologies!"
It wasn't until he walked onto the main street of the market that he gradually adapted to the bustling environment.
On both sides of the street, many Sect Disciples had set up stalls, mostly Disciples of the Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Purple Mansion Realm.
"Come one, come all, don't miss out! Freshly refined Qi Induction Pills, on sale at a low price!"
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Come and see! Brand new Medium Grade Magical Artifact Flying Sword, not nine hundred ninety-nine, but only five hundred ninety-nine Low-Grade Spirit Stones and you can take it home!"
The constant hawking from both sides made Ye Qingxuan feel as if he had returned to a morning market in his previous life.
However, not everyone was so enthusiastic and unrestrained.
Shaking his head, after Ye Qingxuan got used to the noise around him, he walked towards a slightly quieter stall in the distance.
"Senior Sister, how do you sell these Spirit Medicine?"
Hong Miaomiao, who was lowering her head arranging her Spirit Medicine at the stall, suddenly heard someone call her Senior Sister. She immediately looked up happily, staring at Ye Qingxuan, her eyes lighting up as she said:
"Oh, it's Junior Brother? Want to buy Spirit Medicine? Senior Sister can sell them to you cheaply!"
Hong Miaomiao was not very old, but she particularly liked being called Senior Sister.
Ye Qingxuan surveyed the Spirit Medicine on the stall. Most of them were common First Order Spiritual Plants, including the three Spiritual Plants needed for First Order Qi Induction Pill: Heavenly Green Flower, Purple Spirit Grass, and Spirit Induction Flower!
These three Spiritual Plants are found almost everywhere in the Di Xuan World, barely reaching the threshold of Spirit Medicine, not even truly considered First Order Spiritual Plants.
Qi Induction Pill is not highly valuable, and Ye Qingxuan intended to use it for practice, so he only planned to purchase a small amount of Spiritual Plants for refining Qi Induction Pill.
So Ye Qingxuan spoke:
"How do you sell the three Spiritual Plants: Heavenly Green Flower, Purple Spirit Grass, and Spirit Induction Flower?"
