Chapter 103: Substitutes for Foundation Building Pill Materials

"Fellow Taoist, are you sure you really want to buy the medicine refining materials on the list?" Zheng Danxia put the jade slips on the counter with a strange expression on her face.

"Of course, does your pavilion really have all the materials I need?" The monk heard what Zheng Danxia said in her tone. It was not that there were no such materials, but that these materials seemed to be very special, and he couldn't help but look excited. He stood up and asked.

"Haha, fellow Taoist is joking. How is this possible? Fellow Taoist purchased these materials in order to refine some very ancient elixir. I guessed it right? I'm not boasting. If anyone else saw what fellow Taoist listed I'm afraid that nine out of ten times I won't be able to recognize this list, let alone have these materials. If I didn't have a good memory and read many classics, I might not be able to recognize this list." Zheng Danxia's words made the monk's face turn from surprise to displeasure.

Not only did Zheng Danxia not answer the monk's question, but she talked about irrelevant things. Naturally, the monk felt as if he had been tricked. Seeing the monk's expression, Zheng Danxia realized that her words were not clear. She quickly smiled and shook her head and explained: "Fellow Taoist, please don't misunderstand me. I haven't finished speaking yet."

The young monk did not answer, but still stood there looking at Zheng Danxia unhappily.

Zheng Danxia continued to explain: "Fellow Taoist, I don't know something. This pavilion does not have these materials. Fellow Taoist, don't be anxious. Didn't I say it? You wait until I finish what I said."

As soon as Zheng Danxia said that this pavilion did not have such a sentence, the young monk shook his sleeves in displeasure, showing that he was very angry and was about to leave. Zheng Danxia did not stand up to stop him, but looked at him with a smile. This monk seems to be convinced that this monk will never leave.

Although the monk looked quite depressed, he did not leave. Instead, he frowned and sat back, but said displeasedly: "Friend Zheng, my time is limited, can you speak more cheerfully?"

"Haha, I'm sorry. As people get older, their tempers will inevitably slow down. Fellow Taoist, please bear with me. That's it. Fellow Taoist, if I read the materials on this list correctly, they should all be thousands of years old. The elixirs that existed only a few years ago have long since disappeared in the world of immortality. However, we have new substitutes for all the elixirs listed on this list. I wonder if you are interested?" Zheng Danxia said with a smile. .

"Substitute? What do you mean? Could it be that the alchemist in your Alchemy Pavilion has really tested so many elixirs?" The monk asked doubtfully, with a hint of excitement on his face.

"Of course!" Hearing this, Zheng Danxia showed a look of pride on her face and continued: "If fellow Taoists knew the origin of the sect to which this pavilion belongs, they would not have such doubts."

"Oh, could it be that the master behind your pavilion is actually one of the seven righteous immortal sects?" the monk asked with a surprised look on his face.

"Haha, fellow Taoist, you are joking. If it were the Seven Great Immortal Sects of the Righteous Way, why would there be any need to open a store in this city? To be honest, fellow Taoist, although the sect to which this pavilion belongs does not dare to compare with the Seven Great Immortal Sects, as far as alchemy weapons are concerned Along the way, he is very famous in the entire Da Zhou Immortal Realm. I wonder if you have ever heard of the Yihuo Sect? The sect behind this pavilion is the Yihuo Sect." Zheng Danxia looked at the monk and said.

"The Strange Fire Sect? Could it be that Fellow Daoist Zheng is talking about the Strange Fire Sect of the Flame Mountain? If that is the case, then I really believe that the alchemist and weapon refiner in your pavilion can indeed be called a master! But I am so rash. Sorry, I was so rude just now, don’t blame me, fellow Taoist Zheng!" The monk stood up with a look of confusion on his face and said, cupping his hands to Zheng Danxia.

"You're welcome, fellow Taoist. Although our sect is located in a remote area of ​​the Western Desert, we have always had unique methods of controlling all kinds of strange fires. Most of our monks are alchemists, weapon refiners and talisman makers. In the past two years, Aren't there a lot of monster materials here? We just rented a shop like this in Zifang City, hoping to collect these monster materials. I was sent here because I am old and have no hope of building a foundation. The master of this place. When I was in the sect, I did read a lot of classical books and studied the differences between ancient and modern alchemy materials, so I have some impressions of the elixirs listed in this list. There are some monks who are obsessed with alchemy. After hundreds of years of painstaking study of some ancient elixir recipes, they have indeed developed many substitutes for ancient elixir materials. Moreover, the elixirs refined from such substitutes are not as effective. I dare say it is comparable to the elixirs refined from those ancient elixir recipes, but it is definitely not far behind. I wonder if you really need these materials?" Zheng Danxia explained to the monk in great detail.

After listening to Zheng Danxia's words, the monk looked thoughtful, and there seemed to be a hint of unexpected surprise on his face.

"I didn't expect that your sect is so powerful. Well, Fellow Daoist Zheng, could you please calculate how many spiritual stones are needed for such a material?"

When Zheng Danxia heard this, a hint of joy appeared on her face. If the materials needed by this monk are taken together, the price of one portion is not low. If this monk really wanted to buy it back to make alchemy, he would never buy just one copy. Everyone knows that when alchemists refine elixirs, their success rate is not very high. Who knows how many ingredients are needed to make a successful potion of elixir?

"Okay, then I will help fellow Taoist do the math. Fellow Taoist, please wait a moment." Zheng Danxia picked up the jade slip again, put it between her eyebrows, and began to check and calculate. After the meal, Zheng Danxia said: "Such a piece of material requires two hundred and twelve spiritual stones. If you need a large amount, I will give you a cheaper price and remove the odd part. One portion only costs 200 spirit stones.”

"Is it so expensive?" When the young monk heard Zheng Danxia's words, he couldn't help but reveal a wry smile on his face.

"Fellow Taoist, this is already the lowest price. You must know that among the materials listed in your list, Taoist, all of them require materials that are more than 20 years old." After Zheng Danxia finished speaking, she looked at it with a smile. With this monk in mind, I won't say anything more.

After the monk pondered for a while, he suddenly showed a strange look on his face and asked Zheng Danxia: "Friend Zheng, I would like to ask, do you have any elixirs for sale in your pavilion?"

"Alchemy prescription? Are you kidding, fellow Taoist? Which sect would sell such an important thing?" Zheng Danxia said with a hint of displeasure on her face.

Indeed, things like pill prescriptions are top-secret treasures of various sects. How can they be sold?

"Haha, okay, that's just being presumptuous. Then please ask Fellow Daoist Zheng to give me a substitute for the materials listed on this list." Upon hearing this, the monk smiled strangely and said.

"Okay, fellow Taoist, please wait a moment. I will get it for you right now, fellow Taoist." When Zheng Danxia heard that the monk only wanted one portion, she couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment on her face, but she still seriously started to browse from the row of shelves behind the counter. Picked it up.

After a while, Zheng Danxia took down a dozen large and small wooden boxes from the shelf, opened them one by one and displayed them in front of the monk, and then put them all into a storage bag and put them away. In front of this monk.

The monk did not immediately put away the storage bag, nor did he immediately take out the spiritual stones to pay the bill. Instead, he said to Zheng Danxia, ​​who looked puzzled: "I also want to buy some better magical instruments and talismans. I wonder if your pavilion has them?" No?"

Zheng Danxia was wondering, since she had prepared all the materials and put them in front of this person, why didn't this person pay the bill yet? Unexpectedly, this person actually wanted to buy something, so she was naturally overjoyed and nodded quickly: "Yes, Yes, I wonder what kind of magic weapons and talismans you need? The magic weapons on the row of shelves behind me range from low-level to high-level ones, and the same goes for talismans. Please take a look at this mid-level mysterious magic weapon. The Yin Knife is made by our sect's weapon refiner from the spine of a second-level monster, and it is quite powerful." As she spoke, Zheng Danxia casually picked up a gray bone knife on the shelf and pointed it at it. The monk introduced eagerly.

The monk had just browsed through the dozens of magical artifacts placed on the shelves one by one, and found nothing satisfactory. When he heard Zheng Danxia's introduction, he naturally shook his head and said: "Fellow Daoist Zheng, If your store only has this kind of stuff, I’ll have to look elsewhere.”

This stocky young monk in black clothes is none other than Wu Yan, who has been in seclusion for two years and has reached the state of Qi Refining Perfection. The reason why he quietly left the Cultivation Sect and came to this city this time was because during more than two years of seclusion, he had tried to build a foundation without taking the foundation-building pill. Naturally, he did not even touch the threshold of foundation-building. to end in failure. In desperation, he wanted to try his luck at Fang Market. He made a list based on the materials required for the Ancient Pill Foundation Establishment Pill, just to see if he could buy one or two materials. Unexpectedly, those materials would actually become extinct in the world of immortality, but what is surprising is that the alchemists of Yihuo Sect are so powerful. Through hundreds of years of experiments, they have tested out substitutes for every material. Now, Wu Yan was naturally very excited.

To say that Zheng Danxia is really a bit short-minded. When he sold these substitute materials to Wu Yan, wasn't it actually equivalent to selling the new foundation-building elixir recipe to Wu Yan? Wu Yan was naturally aware of this problem and bought the material without hesitation.

Originally, Wu Yan had this material and it was time to leave. However, he suddenly remembered something and felt that the magic weapons he had on him were still not enough, so he thought to see if he could buy one or two more powerful magic weapons and talismans here.

Wu Yan took a look at the magical instruments on the row of shelves behind Zheng Danxia as soon as he sat down, and found that they were not very good. However, he felt that such a large alchemy pavilion, supported by a sect that was skilled in alchemy and weapon refining, would never have only such a few pieces of junk.
