Chapter 1956 Silkstone Alchemy Store
Chapter 1956 Silkstone Alchemy Store
"I\'m looking to sell a few pills and some recipes. Would that be possible here?" Alex asked.
"We purchase pills and ingredients," the girl said. "Please come with me."
Alex followed the girl.
Walking through the shop, he saw a massive amount of pills and ingredients on display, along with a bunch of talismans laid bare for anyone to check.
Alex looked through the pills, looking for anything interesting he could find. And there were a lot of those indeed.
The majority of them were simply pills for cultivation, healing, Qi recovery, and the such, but they were all with Harmony in the 80s and 90s, and most of them were made with high-ranking ingredients.
These were the sort of pills that an Immortal in the Immortal Transcendent or Immortal Spirit realm would buy.
There were other pills that were a little less generic. There was one pill that temporarily gave a person the bloodline of a certain beast called Twin-winged Eagle.
There was another pill that would improve the physical body of an Immortal temporarily, increasing their defensive capabilities by a lot.
There was another pill that improved the rate at which one\'s Blood Essence recovered.
There were many more, but the girl before him kept on walking, so Alex continued following her, not looking back at the pills for now.
Alex was taken away from the crowd into a more secure location at the backside of the store where another woman met him.
This was a woman who wore a cyan robe in the color of all the staff in the store, wearing her hair up in a bun with a bunch of jewelry on it. She was quite pretty, but then so were all Immortals.
"May I ask what pills you are looking to sell today?" the woman asked.
Alex brought out the pills and showed them to the woman. "I have an assortment of pills. How much would these sell for?" he asked.
The woman looked through the pills and gave a small nod to herself. "I\'ll have to check them thoroughly, but we can certainly come up with a price right away," she said and handed the pill to the girl who had come with Alex.
"Have them analyze it all right away," the woman said and sent the girl off.
"Please wait for a moment while our people come up with the necessary information regarding your pills," she said.
"And what about these pill recipes?" Alex asked, bringing out a bunch of talismans.
"Would you mind letting me know what recipes you have? I\'m afraid as an Alchemy shop, we\'ve managed to gather a lot of recipes throughout the years, so it will be hard for us to have missed one."
Alex understood what she meant and started naming the pills. One by one, the woman nodded as Alex spoke the names. At some points, she was forced to take out a talisman to check on things, but overall, she seemed to know the pill names by heart.
"I\'m afraid we have all of them," she said. "We cannot buy those."
"That\'s alright," Alex said and put back the talisman. "How long would the analysis take? I would like to take a look around the shop."
"Oh, certainly. I will have someone notify you when we are ready," the woman said.
Alex left the woman and went to look around the shop. He went back to the pills looking at more of them. The pills he saw were interesting, but the fact that they were only 80% or 90% in terms of Harmony dissuaded him a little.
He looked at their prices, trying to find a common cost, but there was none. The pills weren\'t as rare and cost no more than 100 or 150 spirit stones. The rarer pills cost a little more. There were pills that cost an astonishing 500 spirit stones or more, and these were the ones that he had wanted to buy.
He was rich at the moment, certainly, but he couldn\'t find himself wanting to waste his time on these pills. The main problem with these pills was that the recipe they were made from was bound to be not the best, and thus he couldn\'t even improve the pill even if he wanted to.
Divine Elemental Accord only added missing energy. It did not fix the physical structural problems with the pill itself.
Another problem was that he wasn\'t as experienced in the ways of turning a pill back into its recipe. He could do it with Saint pills, but he needed to relearn that with Immortal pills as well when he had the time.
\'I don\'t really need those pills anyway,\' Alex thought. But he still decided to buy the pill to improve his Blood Essence in the end. He went with one that had the lowest Harmony and it cost him no more than just 90 Immortal Spirit stones.
A higher level of Harmony increased a pill\'s price by an exponential amount.
Alex walked through the rest of the shop, looking through other pills when he finally came upon a very expensive pill that cost over 2000 Immortal Spirit stones. From what he could see, the pill only had 92% Harmony, which confused him a lot.
There were other pills that had a similar level of harmony, but they cost nowhere near this amount.
He looked at the name of the pill and checked one of the many talismans lying around to learn what the pill was for.
It was called the Immortal Spirit Creation Pill, and its purpose was to help increase the chances of someone forming a Spirit in the Immortal Spirit realm.
Alex didn\'t understand all of what that meant. As of yet, he only knew the names of the ranks, but not what happened within it. But if the pill cost so much, then the Spirit would have to be quite important.
\'I should go get some more information after I\'m done with the pills here,\' he thought.
He moved onto looking through the ingredients next and bought quite a few of those that he knew he would need in the future. They were cheap enough compared to the pill, but still cost quite a lot.
Alex had always thought that he was being paid less than what he was due back in the sect, but considering how much the ingredients cost, maybe he was being paid a fair amount after all. At least, fair enough for a disciple who had only just begun making Immortal pills.
\'But I can earn a lot more if I make them myself,\' Alex thought. He wondered if it was a good idea to start doing that. There was nothing else left for him to do for now after all, and he needed to start making a lot of money somehow.
A plan formed in his mind.
