Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2081 1509: Deal (2)
Previously on Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan...
Though quite small, the jade bottle Li Zhirui produced exhibited a far superior quality, unlike the ordinary jade bottles from earlier.
Such exquisite jade bottles invariably hold extremely valuable pills.
Observing this, Master Dan Yun adopted a more solemn demeanor. He uncorked the jade bottle and closely examined the pill that wasn't top-grade.
Shortly after, a frown creased his brow as he hesitated before speaking, "This appears to be a type of Breaking Realm Elixir, designed to boost the odds of beings advancing to Heavenly Immortal, though I'm uncertain about the exact success rate."
"Impressive insight, Senior! This is the Creation Heavenly Pill, which raises a being's chance of breaking through to Heavenly Immortal by twenty percent!"
Indeed!
This time, Li Zhirui revealed the most treasured Creation Heavenly Pill from the Primal Spirit Realm!
"Twenty percent?!"
Master Dan Yun showed genuine astonishment, for such a boost was remarkably substantial.
"Yet, pills of this caliber aren't ideal for straightforward sales in shops; auctions suit them best to maximize returns."
Even though few below Heavenly Immortal frequented the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall, many patrons had juniors who could benefit, giving the Creation Heavenly Pill strong demand.
At auction, fierce bidding wars would erupt, driving prices sky-high, far beyond the fixed store rates that offered no losses but limited gains.
"You're right, Master, but do you know when the next auction occurs?"
"In three days." Not a long wait at all.
Auctions abound across the Chaos Commerce grounds, occurring every few days, with countless small private ones daily.
"Then I'll leave it in the commerce's capable hands."
Having refined just five Creation Heavenly Pills this round, Li Zhirui aimed to amass vast quantities of Spirit Crystals and preferred auctions over shop sales.
The profit gap could span tens of thousands of Spirit Crystals!
"Very well! Here's your invitation. We eagerly await Fellow Daoist's attendance." The attendant, sharp as ever, recognized the pill's immense worth, handed over the invite, and secured the Creation Heavenly Pill safely.
"If my schedule allows that day, I'll drop by." Li Zhirui avoided committing right away, unsure of his plans.
"We hope to see you there, Fellow Daoist."
Business concluded, he departed the shop richer by over eighty thousand Spirit Crystals.
Suddenly, Master Dan Yun halted Li Zhirui, inquiring, "Esteemed guest, might you introduce the Alchemist behind these pills? I'd love to discuss the Alchemy Dao."
To this point, he assumed the refiner wasn't Li Zhirui, viewing him only as a mere aide.
Li Zhirui pondered revealing his identity but chose otherwise.
No point in the extra hassle; he saw no benefit.
"Sure, I'll relay your request to my elders later."
Thus, Li Zhirui agreed without fuss.
Future dealings seemed unlikely anyway; he just wanted to wrap it up smoothly.
Finally free, he exited the shop alongside Qing Si.
"Jiu..."
"We'll discuss it back at the inn." Li Zhirui cut him off promptly.
They stayed quiet all the way back to the room, where they triggered the formation before the atmosphere loosened up.
"Jiu, those over eighty thousand Spirit Crystals will cover tomorrow's deal."
"Yes."
Exhaustion weighed heavily on Li Zhirui now; he replied briefly and slumped onto the bed to recover.
Six straight days and nights without sleep, glued to the Alchemy Furnace!
Nonstop alchemy frenzy!
That unyielding grind enabled Li Zhirui to churn out so many pills in mere six days.
Task done, he could at last unwind and rest properly.
Yet this alchemy spree had depleted nearly all the Spiritual Objects he'd stockpiled over years.
Beyond the tens of thousands of Spirit Crystals earned, his alchemy prowess had surged forward too.
Qing Si, seeing this, said nothing, simply sat cross-legged opposite to meditate, his breathing slowing to a calm rhythm, filling the room with serene quiet.
...
The night slipped by wordlessly.
Refreshed after a full night's sleep, Li Zhirui shone with his usual vigor, barely showing traces of those grueling six days and nights.
"Qing Si, let's go settle the Spirit Seeds with that fellow."
"Coming."
With excitement surging in their hearts, they departed the inn and swiftly reached the man's stall.
The stall owner had anticipated their arrival.
"Fellow Daoist, I've gathered numerous Spirit Seeds in the past few days. Should your Spirit Crystals fall short, perhaps offer other treasures to fulfill the deal and spare us the displeasure of a broken contract." He brimmed with confidence, acting as if he commanded vast stockpiles of Spirit Seeds.
"No need to fret; I've amassed sufficient Spirit Crystals, and if more are needed, I can withdraw them ahead from the Pill Tower." Li Zhirui matched his assurance.
The stall owner's brows shot up at these words, 'Linked to the Pill Tower?'
Yet this proved fortunate, confirming the buyer truly held enough Spirit Crystals to seal the trade!
"If no issues, shall we proceed at once?"
"Very well."
First, the stall owner produced four jade boxes each a foot long, announcing, "The initial three boxes each seal fifty Profound Immortal Rank Spirit Seeds, while the last contains merely thirty-seven."
"At thirty Spirit Crystals apiece, the total amounts to four thousand one hundred ten Spirit Crystals."
"Indeed." Li Zhirui inspected via Divine Sense before handing over the precise sum of Spirit Crystals without delay.
His smile blooming warmer and more genuine, the stall owner drew forth yet another jade box from within his robes, declaring, "This one encases twenty-one Taiyi Tier Spirit Seeds; the cost demands some bargaining."
"True enough."
After a heated negotiation, those seeds transferred to Li Zhirui for six thousand eight hundred fifty Spirit Crystals altogether.
"Regarding Daluo Tier Spirit Seeds, none are in my possession, nor could I acquire such exalted Spiritual Objects—even damaged variants."
Li Zhirui nodded in full comprehension.
Damaged Spirit Seeds might fail to sprout Spiritual Objects, yet they ranked as premium Spiritual Objects in their own right, seldom traded under ordinary conditions.
"You've labored hard these days, Fellow Daoist. Kindly take these fifteen hundred Spirit Crystals." Stunned by Li Zhirui's lavishness, the stall owner snatched up the Spirit Crystals eagerly.
