Chapter 69 Yuanchang Business Alliance
After spending a few days together, Xu Yang liked Ah Zhu's talent more and more.
Although Ah Zhu looked like an ordinary spirit bird, her Nirvana True Fire power could transform into a flame spirit state at any time. Xu Yang could now practice the several techniques that required the power of the flame spirit to practice in the Five Elements Flame Art.
More importantly, Ah Zhu's control and grasp of the fire spirit power was innate, which was far better than Xu Yang. With Ah Zhu, his natal spirit pet, Xu Yang's control skills of the flame power improved by leaps and bounds.
After Xu Yang got Ah Zhu, his cultivation realm fell to the first level of the Spiritual Realm. As Ah Zhu said, although Xu Yang is currently in the Spiritual Realm, the depth of his mana and the capacity and speed of his mana output are better than those of ordinary cultivators in the Void Realm. But the problem is that the speed of cultivation is also slower. The most urgent task is to return the realm to the Void Realm. In the world of cultivation, only being strong is the safest.
Xu Yang has been practicing harder these days, and he consumes more pills than ordinary cultivators of the same level.
Taking a large amount of pills has side effects. This is closely related to the quality of the pills. The higher the grade of the pill, the purer the medicinal properties, the fewer impurities, and the smaller the side effects. With Xu Yang's current financial resources, he can't afford the consumption of high-grade pills, and many high-grade pills are simply out of stock.
Xu Yang tried to use Ah Zhu's Nirvana True Fire to refine fire-attribute pills, but the result was a bit disappointing. The result only slightly increased the success rate, far from using the power of the Wheel Flame Spirit to refine earth-attribute pills to greatly improve the success rate and quality of pills. It seems that each flame spirit has its own unique talent.
On this day, Xu Yang decided to take a batch of earth-attribute pills he had refined to Pingyun Valley Market to sell them in exchange for spirit stones.
Although it is easier to refine rare pills in exchange for more spirit stones. But in order not to attract other people's attention and cause unnecessary trouble, Xu Yang prefers to choose to refine some pills with a large number of circulation on the market.
In a market in Pingyun Valley.
A young man with ordinary clothes and handsome appearance handed a storage bag containing pills to the shop owner.
The shop owner was a middle-aged man with ordinary appearance and slightly fat body. His wide and straight lips showed a bit of honesty when he smiled.
The shop owner took Xu Yang's storage bag and took out all the pills in it, as many as 300 pills.
After carefully checking each pill, he randomly took one of them and put it into his mouth, chewing it slowly. After a while, he spit the medicine residue in his mouth into a small tray prepared in advance. He picked up a medicine tweezer and carefully looked through the medicine residue.
Then he nodded with satisfaction and said: "The pills provided by the young master are genuine. The first time you come to our store, you take out so many pills. Could it be that the young master is the son of that alchemy family. If the young master still has pills of this quality, our store is willing to purchase a large number of them."
Xu Yang would find a different store every time he sold pills to avoid unnecessary trouble. Because famous alchemists are very much desired by all sects and business alliances in the world of cultivation.
"I am not a descendant of a noble family, so I can only refine some ordinary pills. These pills took me several months, and it is difficult to refine such a large number of pills in a short period of time." Xu Yang deliberately concealed.
"So that's how it is. Sir, why don't you take a look at what we have that you need to buy? We will sell it to you at a 10% discount." As he said that, the shopkeeper took out the equivalent of spirit stones and handed them to Xu Yang.
"Thank you for the spirit stones, shopkeeper. I have something to ask you." As he said that, he put away the spirit stones.
"Sir, please speak."
"I came to Pingyun Valley Market this time and felt that there were many more merchants coming and going than before, and there were more uniformed guards in the market."
"Sir, you are very observant. A few days ago, a large number of Southern Region monks appeared near Piaoyun Peak, not far from Pingyun Valley. In addition, some evil-minded monsters took the opportunity to rob people outside Pingyun Valley Market to make money, which reduced the number of merchants coming and going. I heard that a few days ago, the monks of Tiangui Sect and Yudao Sect fought a battle with the monks from the Southern Region near Piaoyun Peak. After that, all the monks from the Southern Region had retreated. At present, the "Yuanchang Merchant Alliance" that manages Pingyun Valley has After adding more people to maintain order in the market, the young master saw that the monks in uniforms in the market were from the "Yuanchang Merchant Alliance". As for the banditry near Pingyun Valley, it has been cleared by the Merchant Alliance. Recently, no one has been robbed outside the valley, so you can go in and out of Pingyun Valley without worry. "
"I see, thank you for telling me. I wonder if you have any "Qinghuo Pills" of better quality for sale."
"Qinghuo Pills" are pills that reduce the side effects of taking a large amount of fire-attributed pills. In order to practice the Five Elements Flame Art, Xu Yang needs to take a large amount of fire-attributed pills as an aid, so naturally he needs this "Qinghuo Pill" to alleviate the side effects.
"Young master, please wait a moment." The shopkeeper said, and skillfully took out a pill from a medicine box behind him. He took out a light red pill with a medicine spoon. An inconspicuous silver line on the pill flashed constantly, which was the Qinghuo Pill. Then he handed the medicine spoon containing the Qinghuo Pill to Xu Yang.
Xu Yang took the medicine spoon and saw that it was indeed the Qinghuo Pill. After a careful inspection, the quality was satisfactory. This Qinghuo Pill is called Qinghuo, but it is actually a fire-attributed pill, but it is very mild and is used to regulate and expel the miscellaneous fire in the body.
"What is the price of this Qinghuo Pill?"
"Two middle-grade spiritual stones each. If you buy it, young master, we will sell it at a 10% discount, ten clear fire pills and eighteen middle-grade spiritual stones."
"Deal! Shopkeeper, please bring me thirty pieces."
"Young Master is so refreshing!" After saying that, the shopkeeper ordered thirty-two Qinghuo Pills, placed a half-foot-square piece of clean square paper in a newly taken out tray, and gently placed the Qinghuo Pills on the On the square paper, it was handed to Xu Yang.
"Please take a look, Master. The extra two are an additional discount for Master." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
Xu Yang took the tray and glanced at it subconsciously. A light red light flashed from his eyes, which was the power of the True Flame of Nirvana.
After a moment, Xu Yang's face darkened slightly. Seeing that there were no other customers in the shop, he whispered: "Shopkeeper, I'm sorry for speaking so bluntly."
"Young master, if you have any questions, it's okay to ask."
Xu Yang stretched out his hand, pinched out four Qinghuo Pills in the medicine tray, and handed them to the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, please look at these pills. On the surface, these pills are the same as other pills, but the materials used in them are inferior. I'm afraid they are only half as effective as genuine pills."
"This?" The shopkeeper frowned and quickly took the pill. Rub it with two fingers and crush one of them into pieces. After carefully picking at it with medicated tweezers, take out a little medicine shavings and put it on the tip of your tongue and lick it.
After a while, the shopkeeper's originally slightly frowned brows became more intense, and he followed the same pattern, identifying the remaining three Clear Fire Pills one by one. As if he had just eaten a few bitter lotus seeds, the shopkeeper's complexion became increasingly ugly, and sweat stains ran down the sides of his originally smooth face.
The shopkeeper took out a handkerchief to wipe the medicine stains from the corner of his mouth, and quickly walked around the counter. He walked quickly to Xu Yang, clasped his hands in his fists, and looked Xu Yang up and down carefully as if he had discovered some treasure, and then said with a smile on his face: "Can you please spare me a moment, please talk in detail in the living room."
Seeing that the shopkeeper was loyal and sincere, Xu Yang nodded and agreed to the shopkeeper's invitation.
"Uncle Li, greet the store for me. I'll go inside and have something to discuss with this distinguished guest." The shopkeeper said to an older pharmacy clerk standing aside.
"Okay, okay." The waiter called Uncle Li by the shopkeeper quickly replied.
After a while, Xu Yang followed the shopkeeper to a VIP room in the inner room.
"Sir, please sit down and have some tea." With that said, the shopkeeper picked up a white jade teapot and poured Xu Yang a cup of spiritual tea.
"You don't have to be so nervous. Just replace those low-quality pills. I know that reputation is the most important thing for a store to do business. I believe this is just an exception, and I won't publicize it everywhere. "Xu Yang saw that the shopkeeper was a little nervous, so he said.
"Young Master is really a sensible person. I would like to thank you very much. My surname is Li, and my last name is "Song". I have been the shopkeeper of this shop for seven years. To be honest, the boss of this shop is... Yuanchang Merchant Alliance. The batch of Qinghuo Dan that the Young Master just bought was customized by Yuanchang Merchant Alliance through special channels. Although it was not refined by an alchemy master, the quality has always been very stable, and Yuanchang Merchant Alliance has a special one. Medicinal pill quality appraiser. It is really rare for such a high proportion of defective pills to appear. I just took a quick look and identified the inferior pills. I wonder if I have any mercy. Talk about it.”
"Shopkeeper Li, please say it's okay."
"I would like to invite Mr. Xu to be the elixir appraiser of the Yuanchang Merchant Alliance. What do you think, Mr. Xu?"
"I don't dare to take it seriously. I'm just familiar with this Clear Fire Pill and happened to recognize a few of them. As for the elixir appraiser, I really don't have that ability."
What Xu Yang said is true. Because Xu Yang possesses two top-grade flame spirits, the Chakravartin Flame Spirit and the Nirvana Flame Spirit, he has a super ability to identify earth or fire attribute pills. There is no such certainty about other types of elixirs.
Hearing what Xu Yang said, Shopkeeper Li looked disappointed and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Xu has no intention of serving as the appraiser of the Yuanchang Merchant Alliance, it is always okay to be a guest appraiser of the Merchant Alliance. Guest Guest The appraiser only puts his name on the Merchant Alliance and will not waste your extra time. The advantage is that you will get a certain discount when you purchase items from the Yuanchang Merchant Alliance. After giving it to the business alliance, there will be other rewards. The guest appraiser can be said to be a reward method implemented by Yuanchang Business Alliance to maintain the reputation of the business alliance. "
After hearing this, Xu Yang thought for a while and said: "This Yuanchang Merchant Alliance is really good at doing business. This guest appraiser not only helped the Merchant Alliance maintain its credibility, but also won over a loyal consumer member of the Merchant Alliance. No wonder Yuan Changshang Alliance can become one of the three major business alliances in the northern region."
"If you are willing, Master, it will be a mutually beneficial outcome for the business alliance and Master."
"Okay, I agree to be the guest appraiser of Yuanchang Merchant Alliance. I wonder what else I need to do?"
"As long as the dedicated deacons and elders make an appraisal. Master, please wait a moment, and I will immediately report it to the deacons and elders of the Merchant Alliance in Pingyun Gufang City to handle the matter."
