Inside Baibao Pavilion!
Hearing Ye Qingxuan's request, the Baibao Pavilion attendant led him to the Medicinal Pill section.
On the light wall of the Medicinal Pill section, the prices of various Medicinal Pills were recorded for the convenience of customers.
After surveying the area, Ye Qingxuan focused on the prices of First Order Medicinal Pills.
As he expected, in the Xuantian Sect, the most expensive First Order Medicinal Pill for cultivation aid was the Spirit Enhancement Pill, which Ye Qingxuan was already familiar with.
The Spirit Enhancement Pill's exchange price at the Xuantian Sect Myriad Things Hall was ten contribution points per pill, while its purchase price at Baibao Pavilion using Spirit Stones was twelve Low-Grade Spirit Stones per pill.
That was a full twenty percent price increase!
Of course, as the internal currency of the Sect, contribution points were naturally allowed for private transactions among Disciples.
Therefore, Baibao Pavilion also allowed the exchange of Medicinal Pills with contribution points, and the price was the same as the Sect's exchange rate, which was ten contribution points per pill.
Looking at the Spirit Enhancement Pill, which had the highest price among First Order Medicinal Pills, Ye Qingxuan asked, "Do you have the Pill Formula for the First Order Spirit Enhancing Pill here?"
The Spirit Enhancement Pill was a rather special Medicinal Pill, and the Ye family's Alchemy Legacy did not contain its Pill Formula.
Hearing Ye Qingxuan's question, the attendant beside him looked at him in surprise and said, "Guest, yes, we do. The First Order Spirit Enhancing Pill Formula costs 1000 contribution points, or one thousand two hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Also, after purchase, a Restriction must be placed, and it cannot be spread to outsiders."
Ye Qingxuan nodded upon hearing this and pondered in his mind.
He only had one hundred contribution points left now, and his monthly stipend was only thirty contribution points. To gather one thousand contribution points, without taking on tasks, he would have to wait at least two years.
After weighing his options for a moment, he ultimately chose to purchase it with Spirit Stones.
"Give me a Pill Formula for the Spirit Enhancement Pill, I'll pay with Spirit Stones."
Ye Qingxuan was confident that he could earn back the two hundred Spirit Stone difference in over two years.
Hearing Ye Qingxuan choose to purchase, the attendant hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Ye Qingxuan was only at the Qi Refining Early Stage Realm, kindly advised, "Guest, the Spirit Enhancement Pill is not easy to refine. If you are just starting Alchemy and want to practice, I suggest choosing a Medicinal Pill with a lower difficulty."
Facing the attendant's kind advice, Ye Qingxuan felt a surge of goodwill, but he had his own plans, so he could only refuse, "It's fine, thank you for your concern, Senior Brother."
The attendant was a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator. Although their age difference was not apparent on the surface, the other party should be older than him, so calling him Senior Brother was at least not wrong.
Seeing Ye Qingxuan's persistence, the attendant said no more, retrieved the Spirit Enhancement Pill's Pill Formula for Ye Qingxuan, and completed the transaction.
After obtaining the Spirit Enhancement Pill, Ye Qingxuan looked at the attendant and asked, "Senior Brother, what do you go by? Are you also a Disciple of the Xuantian Sect?"
Hearing Ye Qingxuan call him Senior Brother, the attendant became even more enthusiastic, and his tone was no longer as rigid, "My name is Bai Wenyang, and I am an Outer Sect Disciple of the Xuantian Sect."
Confirming that Bai Wenyang was also a Xuantian Sect Disciple, Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Although the Xuantian Sect is one Sect, it is more like a country; its Disciples are practically everywhere within the Xuantian Sect."
Looking at Bai Wenyang, Ye Qingxuan smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then Senior Brother should call me Junior Brother from now on! Hahaha!"
"Then Senior Brother will respectfully obey, Hahaha!" Bai Wenyang did not refuse either, but laughed and agreed.
Instantly, their relationship became much closer.
Subsequently, Ye Qingxuan continued to ask, "Senior Brother, how many Spirit Stones does one set of Spirit Medicine for the Spirit Enhancement Pill cost? Also, does Baibao Pavilion purchase Spirit Enhancement Pills?"
Through their conversation, Bai Wenyang had already guessed Ye Qingxuan's intentions.
Seeing Ye Qingxuan's confidence, he did not discourage him, thinking, perhaps Ye Qingxuan really could refine the Spirit Enhancement Pill?
So Bai Wenyang began to explain, "Junior Brother, the Spirit Medicine for the Spirit Enhancement Pill costs ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones per set, and Senior Brother can give you a 5% discount.
The purchase price for Spirit Enhancement Pills at Baibao Pavilion is uniformly nine Low-Grade Spirit Stones per pill. Senior Brother is powerless to change that."
Knowing the price of one set of Spirit Medicine for the Spirit Enhancement Pill and Baibao Pavilion's purchase price, Ye Qingxuan secretly nodded.
With one set of Spirit Medicine, as long as he refined one Spirit Enhancement Pill, Ye Qingxuan would pretty much break even.
If one set of Spirit Medicine could refine two Spirit Enhancement Pills, he would make a significant profit.
Having made up his mind, Ye Qingxuan looked at Bai Wenyang and said, "Then many thanks, Senior Brother! Please get Junior Brother three thousand three hundred sets of Spirit Medicine for the Spirit Enhancement Pill!"
"Alright, Junior Brother, please wait a moment!" Saying that, Bai Wenyang walked into the counter.
While waiting for Bai Wenyang, Ye Qingxuan once again cast his gaze upon the Medicinal Pill prices on the light wall.
Looking up, Ye Qingxuan noticed that for Medicinal Pills above the Fourth Order, the prices of various healing, Spirit Qi recovery, and detoxification Medicinal Pills rose sharply.
They were almost comparable in price to Medicinal Pills that boosted cultivation speed.
Noticing this disparity, Ye Qingxuan felt puzzled.
There didn't seem to be any major wars breaking out within the Xuantian Sect's territory? Would anyone buy those expensive healing, recovery, and detoxification Medicinal Pills?
Just as Ye Qingxuan was wondering, Bai Wenyang came out with a Storage Pouch and handed it to Ye Qingxuan, saying, "Junior Brother, these are the Spirit Medicine you wanted. This Storage Pouch is a gift from Baibao Pavilion."
Ye Qingxuan took the Storage Pouch and subconsciously asked about his confusion regarding the changing Medicinal Pill prices, "Senior Brother, why are the prices of healing, recovery, and detoxification Medicinal Pills above the Fourth Order so expensive?"
This time, upon hearing Ye Qingxuan's question, Bai Wenyang did not answer, but looked at Ye Qingxuan meaningfully and said, "Junior Brother, what you need to know, you will naturally know once your Realm improves."
Seeing Bai Wenyang being so mysterious, Ye Qingxuan curiously asked, "Then do you know, Senior Brother?"
"Senior Brother is currently only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, so I don't know either!" Bai Wenyang replied earnestly.
"Huh?" Hearing Bai Wenyang's answer, Ye Qingxuan's forehead was covered in black lines.
Seeing Bai Wenyang speak so mysteriously, Ye Qingxuan had thought he knew!
Turns out, that's it?
Unable to help but roll his eyes at Bai Wenyang, Ye Qingxuan, after checking the Spirit Medicine for the Spirit Enhancement Pill, took out a pile of Spirit Stones and placed them on the counter, and also exchanged voice transmission imprints with Bai Wenyang.
After the transaction was complete, Ye Qingxuan prepared to leave Baibao Pavilion, so he cupped his fist to Bai Wenyang and said, "Many thanks for your care this time, Senior Brother. Junior Brother will take his leave now!"
Hearing this, Bai Wenyang put away Ye Qingxuan's Spirit Stones and likewise cupped his fist in return, "You're welcome, Junior Brother. Then I wish Junior Brother an early success in refining the Spirit Enhancement Pill!"
As an attendant of Baibao Pavilion, Bai Wenyang also had certain performance requirements, and purchasing Spirit Enhancement Pills was one of them.
However, he didn't hold much hope for his newly acquainted Junior Brother, Ye Qingxuan.
After all, Alchemy, without the proper Aptitude, basically had no future.
He had tried it himself back then, and well, it's better left unsaid!
After a brief exchange with Bai Wenyang!
Ye Qingxuan left Baibao Pavilion. Due to his limited funds, he no longer lingered in the Xuantian Sect but left through the teleportation array.
His trip to purchase thirty sets of Qi Induction Pill Materials cost 75 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, the Spirit Enhancement Pill Formula cost 1200 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and three thousand three hundred sets of Spirit Enhancement Pill Materials, after a 5% discount, cost 31350 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
A total of 32625 Low-Grade Spirit Stones!
Now, in Ye Qingxuan's Storage Pouch, only 375 Spirit Stones remained.
If he didn't go back and immediately delve into Alchemy, he would go bankrupt.
However, on his way back, Ye Qingxuan made a detour to the Utility Disciple's courtyard to visit Ye Qingxiao.
Upon seeing Ye Qingxuan, Ye Qingxiao appeared very happy, constantly complaining to Ye Qingxuan that the Utility Disciple's Restrictions were too great.
There were certain Utility Disciple tasks every day, so he couldn't just sneak out to play.
Fortunately, Mo Tian was the steward of the Utility Disciple's courtyard, and out of respect for their Old Ancestor, Ye Zhaoyang, he arranged tasks that were not difficult for Ye Qingxiao.
Even so, despite having fewer resources and less Cultivation time than Ye Qingxuan, Ye Qingxiao's Realm still surpassed Ye Qingxuan's, reaching the Qi Refining Fifth Layer Realm.
Regarding this, Ye Qingxuan couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, Cultivating Immortality still depends on Aptitude. Those who want to go against the Dao without Aptitude are just dreaming!"
Of course, he was an exception!
After being stimulated by Ye Qingxiao's Realm, Ye Qingxuan prepared to return to his small courtyard for secluded Cultivation and to research Alchemy, laying the groundwork for the future development of his blessed land!
Before leaving, Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao exchanged voice transmission imprints!
