Refining Yourself

Ji Linger stuck out her tongue and said, "Even if you are, you should be a low-level alchemist. There are too many such alchemists here, a lot of them."

Chen Xiang listened to the footsteps and turned his head to look at her: "What does it take to be considered a top-notch alchemist?"

Ji Linger's eyes rolled and she thought for a while: "At least you can refine an elixir. With your current level of cultivation, you are not even at the Saint Transformation Realm. You should not be able to refine an elixir!"

Chen Xiang smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I just happen to be able to refine immortal pills, although they are only of the first grade."

Ji Linger was stunned for a moment. She really hadn't expected it. Then she said coquettishly, "Even if we can refine it, it will be that kind of broken stuff!"

Shen Xiang did not continue talking to her, because he realized that the alchemy industry in this heavenly realm was not as developed as he had imagined, at least not as developed as the Nine Heavens World. In the Nine Heavens World, even an Immortal Lord could refine an elixir, let alone an Immortal King.

Here, most of those who can refine elixirs are in the Saint Transformation Realm. Shen Xiang didn't quite understand why this was the case. At this moment, he became more curious about the alchemy industry in the Ancient Holy City.

Under the guidance of Ji Ling'er, he came to one of the more famous medicine shops in Huasheng District, named Tianding Medicine Shop. It mainly sold elixirs, as well as medicinal materials, but not of many varieties.

The interior of the Tianding Pill Shop is very spacious. Inside is a grand showroom that is luxuriously decorated. The old man in charge of selling pills sensed that Ji Ling'er had an extraordinary aura and brought in a very weak rookie, so he knew there was business to be done.

It is normal for powerful elders to bring their juniors to buy elixirs, and the quantities are usually large.

"Two distinguished guests, welcome to our Tianding Dan Shop. We have many kinds of elixirs here, and there must be one suitable for this young man. If the quantity is large, we will give you a discount." The old man said with a smile.

Ji Ling'er looked at Shen Xiang and signaled Shen Xiang to speak.

"Do you have Tianlong Pill?" Shen Xiang asked.

"Tian…Tianlong…" The old man was suddenly speechless: "This…no."

"What about the high-grade Holy Beast Pills, the third-grade or fourth-grade Immortal Pills?" Shen Xiang asked again.

The old man took a breath and shook his head, "No, this kind of pill is not for humans... It's mainly for beasts, especially the Sky Dragon Pill, which was developed by the ancient dragon clan to expand their own clan. What are you doing here?"

"What about the low-grade Holy Beast Pill? The first or second grade Immortal Pill." Shen Xiang asked again.

"No, animals prefer to eat this, so they can easily find it, so it is difficult for us to pick it. Maybe those families and sects that raise holy beasts should grow it. Usually, few people buy it, so we don't have it in stock." The old man hurriedly explained, then looked at Chen Xiang in confusion, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, aren't you a human?"

Chen Xiang was speechless: "Of course I am a human!"

Ji Ling'er patted the old man's shoulder and said, "He is still a young immortal. What kind of pill can he take to get to the top quickly?"

"Of course, the first choice is the Feather Immortal Pill. If you want to save Saint Stones, then buy a lot of the first-grade fairy pills. If you want to be the fastest, buy the third-grade fairy pills. But I recommend the second-grade fairy pills. It's not very expensive, not very slow, and you don't need to buy a lot to achieve your goal." The old man smiled and said, "I think at least a thousand second-grade fairy pills are needed to help him reach the late stage of the fairy king. At that time, he can directly use a large number of Saint Stones to buy a Saint-Transforming Pill to directly enter the Saint-Transforming realm and begin to enter the realm of the ninth transformation of the saint."

One thousand second-grade Yuxian Pills do have this effect. If it were an ordinary person, it might be as the old man estimated, but he is not an ordinary person. He has five strange heavenly pills in his body, and his true energy has been transformed into holy power.

"How many Holy Stones are needed for ten thousand second-grade Feather Immortal Pills?" Ji Linger knew that Shen Xiang was different, so she budgeted more Feather Immortal Pills.

"One hundred thousand jin!" The old man said quickly, "I can give you some discounts. Ninety-eight thousand jin of holy stones will be enough."

Just when Ji Ling'er was about to buy it, Chen Xiang interrupted her hurriedly and asked, "Then how much is the Immortal Grade 2 Jade Spirit Bamboo Shoot?"

Shen Xiang only had one million jin of Holy Stones, and he would feel distressed for a while if he lost 100,000 jin at once, because he felt that it was a bit asymmetrical to use Holy Stones to buy elixirs. Holy Stones could extract a large amount of Holy Power, which could be of great help to him when he entered the Holy Transformation Realm.

"Jade Spirit Bamboo shoots are the only material for refining the Feather Immortal Pill. One furnace can only produce one pill. The price of the medicinal material is generally half of the price of the elixir. A second-grade Feather Immortal Pill weighs ten kilograms, and the price of the medicinal material is five kilograms." The old man's face became a little impatient. Originally, he thought that Shen Xiang would buy the Feather Immortal Pill, but who knew that he actually planned to buy the medicinal materials to go back and refine it for his elders.

Ji Ling'er frowned. Just now, Shen Xiang said that he knew how to refine first-grade immortal pills, but second-grade ones were more useful now. Why did he want to buy second-grade ones? Just when she wanted to speak, Shen Xiang said, "Three catties of holy stones for one second-grade jade spirit bamboo shoot. I want one thousand of them, and then you can give me ten more."

"Young man, are you joking? I've already told you before that I want five kilograms of holy stone!" The old man laughed.

"Forget it, let's go!"

Shen Xiang used his ultimate skill of bargaining and turned around and left!

Medicinal herbs are relatively precious, but those that can be grown in large quantities generally do not reach half of the amount of pills, and at most only 30%. Although this is the Heaven Realm, the same can be used anywhere.

Ji Linger didn't understand. She wanted to hold Shen Xiang to buy those Yuxian Pills so that she could have less trouble. However, Shen Xiang pulled her away.

"Forget it, forget it. I'll sell it to you!" the old man shouted hurriedly. Selling medicinal herbs can make money, but the profit is less than selling elixirs.

Shen Xiang took out three thousand holy stones and bought one thousand second-grade fairy jade spirit bamboo shoots, and gave ten of them as a gift.

They were all in the medicine business, and Shen Xiang knew that the other party would definitely sell it. After the successful transaction, he did not continue to visit the medicine shops here to avoid being distracted by other things.

Back at the house, Ji Ling'er asked in confusion: "Why don't you buy Yuxian Pills and buy the herbs directly? Don't you only know how to refine the first-grade immortal pills? Moreover, according to your situation, you need at least 10,000 pills, but you only bought 1,000. Also, who are you going to find to help you refine the pills? I can't do it!"

Chen Xiang smiled and touched her face: "I don't know how to do it either, but I can learn. Alchemists are not born knowing how to make pills. They learn step by step."

"But how long will it take you to refine a thousand ingredients? I would rather be locked up for a thousand years than to refine a thousand furnaces of pills. I will die." Ji Linger pouted.

Shen Xiang couldn't tell her the exact answer, but he felt that it was more cost-effective to do so. Now he had to quickly refine the second-grade Yuxian Pill.
