Chapter 1070 1063: Acting Separately
The next day, early morning.
As the morning sunlight poured into the courtyard, Qin Yang had already finished washing up, pushed open the door, and headed to the courtyard next door where the chubby Bai resided.
Last night, the group had been sitting by the lakeside until after 3 a.m., so when Qin Yang went to the chubby Bai's room, Bai was still sleeping soundly. After calling him up, the two went into the courtyard.
"Brother Bai, these are the spirit medicines we need to purchase today."
Qin Yang spoke to the chubby Bai, pointing his finger in the air. The names of thirty-five spirit medicines appeared floating in mid-air.
"Alchemy Grass, Chasing Moon Fruit, Purple Profound Fire Ganoderma, Seven-leaf Snow Lotus, Guiyuan Flower, Mountain Moon Spirit Stream Dew, Blood Circulation Profound Fruit, Ice Jade Crystal, Hundred-Year Cloud Flower..."
Gazing at the densely packed names of spirit medicines floating in the air, the chubby Bai's eyes flashed with surprise.
Although he was not an alchemist, as a cultivator, he naturally knew quite a few spirit medicines. Otherwise, if he encountered a spirit medicine and didn't recognize it, wouldn't he lose a treasure? Hence, almost all cultivators mastered some spirit medicine knowledge.
The first five spirit medicines, Alchemy Grass, Chasing Moon Fruit, Purple Profound Fire Ganoderma, Seven-leaf Snow Lotus, and Guiyuan Flower, are all fourth-grade spirit medicines and quite rare among fourth-grade spirit medicines.
As for the latter ones like Mountain Moon Spirit Stream Dew and Blood Circulation Profound Fruit, they are treasures among third-grade spirit medicines.
"So many precious spirit medicines..."
The chubby Bai was astonished.
"Brother Qin, are these all the spirit medicines needed to refine the Venerable-Breaking Pill?"
The chubby Bai's gaze fixed on Qin Yang as he asked.
"Yes."
Qin Yang smiled and nodded.
The Venerable-Breaking Pill is exceedingly precious among fourth-grade elixirs, as it can help strong cultivators at the peak of the Immortal Spirit Realm advance to the Immortal Venerable Realm.
One Venerable-Breaking Pill increases by twenty to thirty percent the chances for a faction to have one more Immortal Venerable Realm expert, so it is naturally quite precious.
Therefore, the types and quantities of spirit medicines needed to refine the Venerable-Breaking Pill are not ordinary. Including the Wind Thunder Fruit, a total of six fourth-grade spirit medicines and thirty third-grade spirit medicines are required.
"Well, Brother Qin, leave all these spirit medicines to me."
The chubby Bai nodded, gritted his teeth, and said with determination in his eyes.
It's not hard to see that these spirit medicines are quite valuable, and his own wealth might not be enough. He would have to ask Sister Bai Shuang for some spirit stones later.
"Brother Bai, inside here are three hundred thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones."
Qin Yang looked at the chubby Bai, took out a storage bag, and handed it to him.
"Hmm? Three hundred thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones, so many, how could I accept this?!"
The chubby Bai was startled and immediately shook his head.
Three hundred thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones are equivalent to the wealth of an Immortal Venerable Realm expert and about the yearly income of their Bai family.
"Moreover, these spirit medicines won't require that many spirit stones, not to mention that since Brother Qin is getting someone to refine the Venerable-Breaking Pill, at least the spirit medicines should be provided by our Bai family."
The chubby Bai hurriedly said.
"Brother Bai, I'm asking you to buy more than one set."
Qin Yang glanced at the names of the spirit medicines floating in mid-air and said with a smile.
"We have thirty Wind Thunder Fruits in our possession, so it's best if we can gather thirty sets of the spirit medicines on the list."
Qin Yang said with a gleam in his eye, intending to refine them all at once.
Moreover, refining the Venerable-Breaking Pill is not easy. Generally, a fourth-grade alchemist has a success rate of about thirty percent. Even for Qin Yang, the success rate is only about seventy percent.
"Thirty sets?!"
The chubby Bai was utterly astounded.
Refining for thirty Venerable-Breaking Pills, even accounting for some failures, would still result in about a dozen pills, at least five or six.
Even a single Venerable-Breaking Pill would likely have all the factions in Celestial Cyan City scrambling for it.
"Once we leave the mansion, we'll split up to act. It's okay if we can't buy all thirty sets, just try to buy as many as possible."
Qin Yang told the chubby Bai and then instructed him to focus on purchasing additional sets of certain spirit medicines.
Some of the thirty-six spirit medicines needed to refine the Venerable-Breaking Pill were already in Qin Yang's storage bag.
"Alright, but Brother Qin, you've already done so much for me. Our Bai family can't take advantage of you for free. You should keep these three hundred thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones; I'll find a way to cover the cost of the spirit medicines..."
The chubby Bai said, immediately handing the storage bag back to Qin Yang.
Upon seeing this, Qin Yang nodded almost imperceptibly. The chubby Bai indeed seemed like someone worth befriending.
In life, kindness should be given to those who understand gratitude and recognize your effort, because for those who don't, your efforts will eventually be taken for granted.
"However, Brother Bai, how will you manage to gather so many spirit stones?"
Qin Yang smiled slightly and asked.
"I have some savings, and I'll ask Sister Bai Shuang for some more, and also borrow from my father. I should be able to gather about a hundred and fifty thousand..."
The chubby Bai thought for a moment and said.
"There isn't that much time, so how about this, Brother Bai, take these spirit stones to buy the spirit medicines first. Once the Venerable-Breaking Pills are made, you can return me a hundred and fifty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones. Then, I suppose you wouldn't have to use your own resources for that number of stones."
Qin Yang thought for a moment and said.
The value of a single Venerable-Breaking Pill is around two hundred thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones. Qin Yang had already given a discount on the one hundred fifty thousand stones.
This wasn't him being petty—endless giving doesn't necessarily lead to a good return.
"Alright, thank you, Brother Qin."
Gratitude flashed in the chubby Bai's eyes.
Once the Venerable-Breaking Pills are made, the family would unhesitatingly offer up a hundred and fifty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones.
At that, Qin Yang and the chubby Bai left the Bai Mansion and then parted ways.
In Celestial Cyan City, there were countless shops selling spirit medicines, so Qin Yang suggested they split up for efficiency.
In a deserted alley, Qin Yang took out a black cloak, enveloping his entire body in it.
This cloak could completely block ordinary cultivators' divine sense.
Since the spirit medicines Qin Yang wanted to purchase were exceptional, he did this to avoid some unnecessary trouble.
In the entire Celestial Cyan City, if one were to say which shop had the most complete inventory, it had to be the Celestial Permanence Commerce Association, which exerted significant influence throughout the Great Xia Dynasty.
After leaving the alley, Qin Yang made his way to the central area of Celestial Cyan City.
This was the most bustling district in Celestial Cyan City, with the Celestial Permanence Commerce Association located here, alongside the Marquis's Mansion, which managed the city.
The central area was lined with various towering buildings.
In front of a majestic building, Qin Yang, concealed beneath the black cloak, stopped.
This building was remarkably imposing, resembling a small palace, with "Celestial Permanence Commerce Association" inscribed on the plaque above its entrance.
A number of cultivators were coming and going in front of the commerce association.
Qin Yang looked up briefly before ascending the ten or so steps and entered the Celestial Permanence Commerce Association.
