The latest chapter is on V.
Old Hei deliberately did not reveal the name of the Medicinal Pill in his hand, naturally wanting to use this to test whether Jiang Yun was lying.
Jiang Yun didn't think much of it. He reached out and took the Medicinal Pill, first examining it from all angles, then placing it to his nose. After only a moment of sniffing, he said, "Flesh Ganoderma, Green Silk Dew, and the dust of a Blue Shadow Butterfly. I can only identify these few. To know more specifically, I would have to taste it, but since there's butterfly dust, this Medicinal Pill should be poisonous."
After speaking, Jiang Yun handed the Medicinal Pill back to the dumbfounded Old Hei.
Holding the Medicinal Pill, Old Hei's body couldn't help but tremble. In his eyes, Jiang Yun was no longer a Human Race, but countless Medicinal Pills piled together!
Now, he completely believed what Jiang Yun said. Although Jiang Yun didn't name all the Materials contained in this Medicinal Pill, the ones he did mention were all correct.
"Little brother, no, no, Jiang Laodi!" Old Hei excitedly changed his address, "Can this old brother discuss something with you?"
Jiang Yun said seriously, "Old Hei Big Brother has been kind to me. Just say what it is!"
Old Hei nodded repeatedly with excitement, "Good, good, good. Jiang Laodi is clearly a person who values loyalty and repays kindness. Then I won't be polite. Can Jiang Laodi refine some Medicinal Pills for me? Don't worry, I will provide all the necessary Materials!"
Jiang Yun didn't answer, but lowered his head in thought.
Old Hei had been nervously watching Jiang Yun's expression. Seeing that Jiang Yun didn't speak, he quickly added, "Also, Jiang Laodi, you want to refine Qi Induction Pills. I guess you want to open your Meridians, right? Actually, since Jiang Laodi knows how to refine Medicinal Pills, why bother refining such low-grade Medicinal Pills? Why not refine high-grade ones, like Meridian Opening Pills! Of course, I can also provide the Materials for Jiang Laodi!"
It should be known that whether Human Race or Yao Race, to ask an Alchemist to help refine Medicinal Pills, in addition to providing their own Materials, they also need to pay a certain price.
The higher the grade of the Medicinal Pills refined, the greater the price required.
But even so, it also depends on the Alchemist's mood, so Old Hei was also afraid that Jiang Yun would refuse, which is why he kept offering conditions.
Jiang Yun still thought for a moment before saying, "Helping Old Brother refine Medicinal Pills is naturally no problem, but if it's a Medicinal Pill I haven't refined before and don't have the Pill Formula, then I'll definitely have to try multiple times, and the success rate cannot be guaranteed. As for Meridian Opening Pills, I would like to refine them, but I haven't seen this kind of Medicinal Pill and don't know the Materials."
Upon hearing this, Old Hei immediately patted his chest and said, "These are not problems. Although I don't have finished products for the two types of Medicinal Pills I mentioned, I have the Pill Formula and can give it directly to Jiang Laodi. As for the success rate, Jiang Laodi doesn't need to worry about it at all; I won't blame you if the refining fails."
"Pill Formula!" Jiang Yun's eyes also lit up, "That's even better, I can give it a try!"
Seeing Jiang Yun agree, Old Hei immediately said excitedly, "As long as Jiang Laodi can refine the Medicinal Pills I need for me, if there's anything else you need help with, just say it!"
Jiang Yun scratched his head and said, "Speaking of which, I really do need Old Hei Big Brother's help with something."
Old Hei waved his hand spiritedly and said, "Speak!"
"I need a large amount of beast cores."
"Beast cores?" Old Hei's outstretched hand suddenly froze in mid-air. He blinked and said, "A large amount, how much?"
"The more the better!"
"This..."
Old Hei's face showed difficulty. Although he didn't need beast cores, one beast core meant at least one Vicious Beast had to be killed, and Jiang Yun needed an enormous quantity. Wouldn't that mean killing all the Vicious Beasts above seventh-grade in the entire Trapped Beast Forest!
This absolutely would not do!
Jiang Yun saw Old Hei's difficulty, and this was actually where he had been struggling all along.
He came from Mang Mountain and naturally knew that Vicious Beasts should not be completely annihilated, so he continued, "Actually, it doesn't have to be beast cores. Other things that contain Dao Intent would also work."
"As long as it contains Dao Intent?"
"Mm!"
"That's easy!" The difficulty on Old Hei's face immediately faded. With a wave of his large hand, a pile of sparkling stones, varying in size and at least a hundred in number, appeared before Jiang Yun.
"Spirit Stones?" Jiang Yun asked uncertainly.
Spirit Stones are stones nurtured by heaven and earth that contain Spiritual Qi. The Spiritual Qi contained within them is much purer than the Spiritual Qi floating in the air. Based on the amount and purity of the Spiritual Qi contained, Spirit Stones are also divided into nine grades.
The exchange rate between them is one to ten: one second-grade Spirit Stone can be exchanged for ten first-grade Spirit Stones, and so on.
Spirit Stones can be used to absorb Spiritual Qi and are also the most common currency used for transactions between Cultivators.
Although Jiang Yun had heard of Spirit Stones, he had never seen them. After all, within the Wen Dao Sect, he was only a Utility Disciple, and only when one became an Outer Sect Disciple would the Sect issue a few Spirit Stones each month.
"Yes, Spirit Stones. Each Spirit Stone contains more or less Dao Intent."
Although Old Hei didn't know what Jiang Yun wanted things containing Dao Intent for, since Dao Intent wasn't particularly useful, he didn't plan to ask and generously said, "These Spirit Stones are all for Jiang Laodi."
Jiang Yun said awkwardly, "This, isn't this too much!"
Old Hei deliberately sternly said, "Why be polite with this old brother? If I tell you to take it, just take it!"
Actually, Jiang Yun had no idea that although these Spirit Stones looked like a lot, they were all only the lowest first-grade, not worth much money. For Cultivators above the Blessed Land Realm, they wouldn't even bother to look at them.
Furthermore, if Jiang Yun could truly successfully help Old Hei refine the Medicinal Pills he needed, one Medicinal Pill would be enough to exchange for thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of first-grade Spirit Stones.
Old Hei simply saw that Jiang Yun was relatively naive, so he deliberately used these first-grade Spirit Stones to fool him.
Watching Jiang Yun happily put the Spirit Stones into his Storage Ring, Old Hei also beamed and said, "So, Jiang Laodi, when are you planning to start refining?"
"If I have the Materials, I can try refining now!"
"Good, follow me!"
Old Hei waved his large sleeve, and Jiang Yun only felt a whirlwind enveloping him. Immediately after, his body lightened, and the surrounding scenery rapidly changed, as if he were soaring through clouds. In an instant, he had already left the previous location and arrived in an underground cave.
This cave was extremely vast, large enough to accommodate at least ten thousand people, and Old Hei said with a smile, "This is my residence, Jiang Laodi. You can refine Medicinal Pills here!"
Jiang Yun looked around curiously and said, "Is this still part of the Trapped Beast Forest? Old Hei Big Brother, you live in the Trapped Beast Forest?"
Hearing this, Old Hei suddenly chuckled and said, "Jiang Laodi, do you know what my identity is?"
"Identity?" Jiang Yun was startled, "Aren't you Senior Brother's friend?"
As Jiang Yun's words fell, Old Hei's withered body suddenly exploded, turning into a black mist that undulated before Jiang Yun. At that moment, the temperature of the entire underground cave instantly dropped, as if it had become an ice cave.
From within the mist came Old Hei's equally cold and eerie voice, "I am your Senior Brother's friend! But in reality, I am not a Human Race. I am a Yao Race!"
