Chapter 61: 61 Siqi Pavilion__l
In Southstream Market, his talismans have opened up the market, and after returning to Di Yuan Star, Qing Nu also brought good news.
Treasure Bottle Pharmacy has an unused alchemy room, fully equipped with a medicine pool and other equipment, which can be used to start producing Qi-replenishing Spirit Water again.
This indeed made Chen Mobai breathe a sigh of relief.
In recent days, without this Spirit Water, his cultivation speed has significantly slowed down, making him, who had been accustomed to high efficiency, feel at
a loss.
However, after Qing Nu began preparing the second batch of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water, Chen Mobai had another problem.
That was, where would the Good Deed Points for purchasing the main medicine and auxiliary medicine come from next time?
Although he now has 24 Spirit Stones on him, he is already a little afraid to go to the bank and exchange Spirit Stones for Good Deed Points.
The intermediate-Rank-1 Qi-replenishing Spirit Water requires about five days to refine after completion.
!!..
The alchemy room rented from Treasure Bottle Pharmacy is for a month, and Qing Nu’s idea is to make the most out of it by buying more medicine materials so that within this month, enough Qi – replenishing Spirit Water can be prepared to support Chen Mobai’s cultivation until he reaches the seventh level of Qi Cultivation.
According to Qing Nu’s efficiency, at least three batches of medicine materials
are needed.
After much thinking, Chen Mobai still didn’t come up with a good solution. He could only take out one Spirit Stone, for which he got gold in exchange at the Silver Shop of the Five Elements Sect in Southstream Market, and went to find
Wu Wan.
“The quality of the gold is the same, but I can only purchase the same amount as last time, that is, 40 pieces, priced at 4300 Good Deed Points.”
After Wu Wan measured the weight and purity, he hesitated for a moment when looking at the hundred gold bars in front of him. Still, he decided to be a good person and only took 40 °f them.
“Oh, what do you mean by this, Master Wu?”
Chen Mobai was a bit confused and asked.
“As you know, gold is controlled by the Immortal Gate, and all of us goldsmiths have registered at the Immortal Trade Bureau. Before getting our business licenses, we were told that if the same person trades gold cumulatively more than 10,000 Good Deed Points with us, we need to report to the market supervision department and law enforcement police department.”
Chen Mobai broke into a cold sweat after Wu Wan finished speaking.
“Thankyou, Master Wu.”
He gave Wu Wan a solemn thank you, who responded by lightly shaking his hand, putting the 40 gold bars in his safe with gloved hands, and then transferring 4300 Good Deed Points to Chen Mobai through his phone.
“You’ve traded gold twice with me, and you’re only 4850 points away from the 10,000 Good Deed Points limit. If you’re really short of Good Deed Points, I can take 5 more, which will just fall within the 10,000 limit.”
“However, if the Immortal Trade Bureau randomly checks my little shop’s accounts at the end of the year, your transaction just hitting the 10,000 Good Deed Points limit will be a bit conspicuous and might be targeted.”
“So my suggestion is to just trade 40 more this time. In case we are selected for inspection, I have several customers like you, and with some adjustment in the account books and tax forms, the Immortal Gate will most likely turn a blind
eye.”
After failing the Foundation Establishment, Wu Wan seemed to have let go and was ready to be more devoted to treasure appraisal and business. He earnestly advised Chen Mobai on trading gold, taking the initiative to remind him.
“Of course, if you’re desperate for Good Deed Points, I can also introduce you to some of my contacts. You just have to be careful not to exceed 10,000 Good Deed Points. However, if you, a new face, go to trade gold, some bosses will report to the Immortal Gate just in case.”
After hearing all of this, Chen Mobai felt quite alarmed.
His possessions were already a bit illegally obtained, and if they were targeted by the relevant departments of the Immortal Gate, it would be disastrous. ■’I almost forgot. If you register a company, you can avoid this 10,000 limit, and our transactions would then be on a B2B bill. At the end of the year, when the accumulated points are returned, there might even be a discount.”
Wu Wan proposed another method, but Chen Mobai immediately shook his head.
He is only eighteen years old. If he rashly registers a company specifically for gold trading, wouldn’t that attract more attention?
Before leaving, Chen Mobai thanked Wu Wan again, and also gave up the idea of exchanging more gold from the Tianhe Realm.
If it can’t be done here, then it might be worth trying the previous idea.
Southstream Market.
Chen Mobai, dressed in ancient-style clothes, walked into a store opened by a local Immortal Cultivation family.
Because Yun Country is located near the Yunmengze River, it is rich in Spiritual Energy. Many Immortal Cultivation families rely on the local Water Vein to open Medicine Fields, which can not only train their own Alchemists but also be sold to major Alchemy Sects like Back to Sky Valley.
Moreover, after cultivating Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine, they can exchange it for Foundation Building Pills, so practically all the Immortal Cultivation families here have a Medicine Field as a family treasure.
But Back to Sky Valley only accepts top-grade medical materials, so a lot of lowly rated materials harvested after maturity fall into the hands of local market shops for sale.
The three-story shop is called “Siqi Pavilion” and is one of the industries of the Lou family, one of the four major Foundation Establishment families in the market.
Chen Mobai heard from Qing Nu that there are four types of medicine properties: cold, hot, warm and cool, referred as the Four Qi, and that’s probably where this shop got its name.
“Do you need spiritual medicine, or Spirit Pill?
As soon as he entered the shop, a beautiful female cultivator who was at the third level of Qi Cultivation greeted him. She took a look at Chen Mobai s exquisitely stitched clothes and had a smiling face.
-I have these three kinds of medicinal herbs which my elders need for Alchemy. But I don’t exactly know what they are. Could you please check if you have them here?”
Chen Mobai took out the three main medicinal herbs used for the refining of Qi-replenishing Spirit Water from Qing Nu and handed it over to the female cultivator of the Siqi Pavilion, who nodded, took a tray and received the medicines.
“This is Bai Ji, Chui Zhu Grass, Zhe Li, very common types of Spirit Grass. We have all of them in our store. How much do you need?”
The female cultivator seemed to have a good knowledge of medicinal herbs, looked carefully, smelled, and felt them and finally, with a charming smile, named three types of medicinal herbs that had completely different names on Di Yuan Star.
“What are the prices?”
-They are all very common medicinal herbs, but the starting price is 1 Spirit Stone per pound. The prices for the three herbs are all the same.”
Chen Mobai calculated that one pound of medicinal herbs could be used to refine five times. Even if Qing Nu could only be successful ten times in one go, it could still support his cultivation up to the seventh level of Qi Cultivation. The price is also entirely acceptable. With these, he only needs to buy four types of auxiliary medicines from the Di Yuan Star.
“Then let’s start by buying one pound each.”
Upon hearing this, the beautiful female cultivator still had the same smile on her face, and she immediately invited Chen Mobai to the second floor.
After her introduction, Chen Mobai learned that the second floor was where Spirit Grass and medicinal herbs were sold. The third floor was for selling their family’s handmade Spirit Pill. Recently, a new batch of Juling Pills had been put on the shelves, and they wanted to promote it to see if Chen Mobai was interested.
However, the Spirit Pills in Tianhe Realm all have a history of exceeding the standard toxin measures, and Chen Mobai wouldn’t dare to buy these. The Spirit Pills were abandoned, and after paying for the medicinal herbs in Spirit Stones, Chen Mobai left directly..
