Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 763 - 737: Hehe, No More Hehe
"This matter is a long story." Since it was still early and Jiang Yuan had no other pressing matters, he briefly explained the situation in Sand Hill City.
At the end, he smiled and said, "As the saying goes, when helping someone, see it through to the end. Since I've taken up the task, I'll sort out the follow-up matters before handing it over to Hou Ze to manage, thereby having a start and an end."
Sang Qi sighed upon hearing this and said, "So that's how it is! This action can save a city, an entire community, and provide them with the opportunity to prosper and rejuvenate. Mister, you are truly kind!
Although the amount of firestones used in my palace is ultimately limited, I can ask my friends if they need any, and they can take them from me if needed.
Take the time to have Daoist Hou visit and agree with the steward on prices and logistics; after deducting what we need, sell the remaining production in bulk to other merchants at a low price. Future business will be much easier to conduct."
"Very well, I'll bring Daoist Hou to visit you another day," Jiang Yuan thought, it's unrealistic to only find high-end retail customers.
No matter how much Miss Qi's circle uses, they can't possibly take all of Sand Hill City's output. So besides this part that doesn't involve middlemen earning a price difference, it's best to set up a fixed shop to conduct wholesale business for Hou Ze.
Jun Yan, who had been listening for a while, focused on the elixirs, and hurriedly asked once the business terms were agreed upon, "Mr. Jiang mentioned earlier that the Star Flame Antitoxic Pill can cure cold poison, I want to know if it can cure the cold ailment left by Ten Thousand Years Profound Ice?"
"Ah? You were injured last time after all?" Sang Qi quickly reacted and then teasingly smiled, "I knew it, how could the Ten Thousand Years Profound Ice in that Secret Realm be ordinary? After walking in and out, you insisted you were unscathed. You did put on a good show, I truly couldn't tell."
The other party smiled and waved it off, "It's not a major issue, I truly felt nothing at the time. It's just that afterwards, when pushing the cultivation technique to the limit, there would be a sensation of coldness, but it's not a big deal. I heard Mister has an elixir for cold poison, so I just asked, if it can work, it will be good to eliminate the hidden danger."
Jiang Yuan thought there shouldn't be any major issue; if it were really serious, the details on the analysis would definitely indicate so.
He casually took out a Star Flame Antitoxic Pill from the storage bag, and the intense medicinal incense, carrying a scorching aura, instantly filled the air.
"Please take a look, Daoist Jun, this is the Fifth Grade Elixir, the Star Flame Antitoxic Pill." He handed it over with a smile and said, "This pill formula comes from the Black Tortoise Pavilion of the Ancient Ten Great Sects and is said to cure countless types of cold poison in the world. If the cold poison in your body is singular and without other causes, it should be able to cure it."
Indeed deserving of a Fifth Grade Alchemist!
Jun Yan's eyes widened like a tiger's, just by smelling the scent of the elixir, he could feel the faint coldness in his bones seeming to dissipate. Swallowing such a pill would surely relieve minor troubles!
"Mr. Jiang, what is the price of this Fifth Grade Elixir? Are there any other elixirs available that I may acquire, as I'm in an advantageous position to gain access first, to keep a few as a reserve for a rainy day?"
Jiang Yuan also didn't know how much it should cost, as the current Floating Market displays would either list elixirs that couldn't sell at a high price or state that no one in the market could offer a price, making sales impossible.
The Treasure Pavilion of Wo Hu Temple is of a relatively low grade, even slightly advanced elixir auctions can't produce corresponding prices.
Therefore, high-grade elixirs need to find high realm cultivators to sell at a good price. So, Jiang Yuan, eager to raise funds, simply gathered the elixirs in his storage bag, taking out one of each.
"Here is the Fifth Grade Clear Heart Pill, consuming one during cultivation can instantly clear the mind of distractions and reduce the risk of heart demons developing. For those already with heart demons, consuming a Clear Heart Pill can suppress the heart demon;
The Fifth Grade Blood Replenishing Pill and the Spirit Core Pill, the effects need not be said, you both should know;
This is the Fifth Grade Thousand Mechanism Moistening Spirit Pill, a miraculous elixir I managed to refine from a collection of spirit medicines. It can nourish and repair damaged Elixir Field Spirit Roots, and with prolonged use, there's a chance to enhance the quality of the spirit roots..."
He introduced them one by one, especially emphasizing the Thousand Mechanism Moistening Spirit Pill, which he finally managed to collect and refine from accumulated medicinal materials over time.
The Alchemy Room had already been upgraded to Level Seven and could have long prepared Level Seven Elixirs, but Jiang Yuan, after comparing, still chose to use fewer medicinal ingredients for refining Fifth Grade Elixirs.
The effect of the Seventh Grade Clear Heart Pill is naturally much stronger than the Fifth Grade, but the required medicinal ingredients are far from few!
Having been rooted in the wilderness for a short time, the system's demands for medicinal materials are high, requiring a relatively more cost-effective refinement approach.
Originally, he intended to supplement the members of his small courtyard to let their Elixir Field Spirit Roots evolve to a supreme quality, and it would be even better if they could catalyze dual spirit roots. But currently, with the pressure and scarcity of Spirit Stones, he took them out to show elite customers, hoping to earn more Spirit Stones to prioritize the main storyline tasks.
"They're all Fifth Grade Elixirs!" Jun Yan's eyes were wide with shock at the wealth of the other party, liking what he saw.
But even with a finger to the forehead, one could deduce that Fifth Grade Elixirs are exorbitantly priced and sometimes require bartering. How could one acquire everything they desire?
Sang Qi looked at the veiled new Thousand Mechanism Moistening Spirit Pill with satisfaction filling her beautiful eyes.
A while back, her brother bought some elixirs from Daoist You, sharing quite a few with her, but good elixirs are sometimes too rare to come by.
Especially the kind that can nourish and repair damaged Elixir Field Spirit Roots; just this aspect surpasses countless Spirit Elixirs!
Which cultivator doesn't know how important Elixir Field Spirit Roots are? Even if they're temporarily useless, having one or two in reserve is excellent, not to mention her brother is busy resolving hidden dangers before autumn. Giving him one as a gift during the festival would be a perfect present.
We can't favor some over others; if we're giving one to Big Brother, then Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Brothers should have one too, right?
Just one of these isn't enough to share, is it?
"Mr. Jiang, how many Thousand Mechanism Moistening Spirit Pills do you have? What's the price?" Sang Qi thought this was a rare opportunity and figured he should keep one for himself too.
Jiang Yuanxin thought to himself that he had refined 99 in one batch, but he couldn't reveal that, or else it would seem too cheap. Moreover, collecting enough materials for one batch was indeed difficult, and without more sources of qualified spirit medicine, he wouldn't be able to refine them for a long time.
"Currently, due to the scarcity of materials, I've only managed to refine three Thousand Mechanism Moistening Spirit Pills, but I have slightly more of the other elixirs, around a dozen or so. If there is any high-quality rare spirit medicine, I'd prioritize a trade; if not, to be honest, I currently need a large number of Spirit Stones, so I'm not exchanging for other treasures for now.
As for the price..." He hesitated for a moment, reminding himself to avoid being greedy since there would be plenty of opportunities for trades in the future.
Back when I refined one Fifth Grade Jade Marrow Pill, the materials were provided by the buyer, and I charged two million Spirit Stones. Now, selling the finished product directly, raising the price a bit isn't too greedy.
Moreover, last time I sold Lord Sang Lishan a Longevity Pill, a Fifth Grade Thirteen-Flavor Antitoxic Pill, and a Fifth Grade Spirit Core Pill, thirty of each, and back then, a Fifth Grade pill averaged one million.
Jiang Yuan quickly calculated and said, "These elixirs each have their unique effects, but the scarcity of the materials is a fact. I'll offer you a friendly price—both the Thousand Mechanism Moistening Spirit Pill and the Clear Heart Pill are three million Spirit Stones each; the rest will stick to our previous trading price, still one million each. What do you both think?"
Sang Qi was overjoyed; trading with Daoist You was always so straightforward and affordable compared to the so-called Alchemist that Big Brother hired... but let's not talk about that!
"I'll take all three Thousand Mechanism Moistening Spirit Pills," she immediately started counting on her fingers, "also, I need a Star Flame Antitoxic Pill, as Junyan was poisoned by me, so I must take responsibility. Additionally, I want all the Clear Heart Pills, Blood Replenishing Pills, and Spirit Core Pills too..."
Originally, she wanted to take them all, but Junyan interrupted, "Miss Qi, I know you're wealthy, but you don't need to take everything, right?
At least save a few for me, especially the Clear Heart Pill, you know I need that the most. Blood Replenishing Pills and Spirit Core Pills are daily necessities too, so save me two of each; as for the Star Flame Antitoxic Pill... fine, you help me with that first, and I'll repay you with other treasures next time."
Just three Thousand Mechanism Moistening Spirit Pills would bring in nine million, and Jiang Yuan handed over fifteen Clear Heart Pills, earning forty-five million; the rest added up to thirty-one million five hundred thousand.
Sang Qi rummaged through the Treasure Pavilion for a moment, using several rare and exceptional spirit medicines to offset part of the payment, finally paying sixty-five million Spirit Stones.
Even with millions of Spirit Stones, they piled up into a large area, and Jiang Yuan saw nothing but a vast sea of blue, almost feeling intoxicated.
He gently touched to automatically credit the account, watching as he approached a billion with effort, but he promptly opened the system interface, consuming forty million Spirit Stones to speed up the Distillery.

[Warning: A consumption of over thirty million Spirit Stones for speed-up detected within a short time. To ensure game experience, Spirit Stone speed-up channel is banned for thirty days. Countdown to unban: 29 days 23:59:59]
As he completed the tasks by taking shortcuts, the system interface flashed with a lively stream of messages, making Jiang Yuan feel delighted. But just as he chose to consume one million Spirit Stones to merge, the final warning popped up.
One moment he's chuckling, the next he's not.
Earning Spirit Stones from high-end clients is lucrative, but such opportunities for selling elixirs are rare — today, after perfectly capitalizing on the timing and circumstances to make a big haul, they immediately blocked my speed-up channel.
What's the big idea?
The sky was falling, and you're here talking about "ensuring game experience." Can't we bend the rules a bit to swiftly rebuild the Celestial Realm and turn the tide?
