Suspicious Price Increase

Seeing that Long Xueyi and Chen Xiang were confused about why she said that, Lu Qilian explained, "The main thing is not to guard against the Goddess Palace, but to guard against the Alchemy God in the Goddess Palace! Chen Xiang, you practice the Heavenly Refining Technique, and anyone who is an Alchemy God wants to obtain this magical skill, so you must be on guard against others."

Shen Xiang nodded and said: "Before I find out what kind of character that Pill God has, I'd better not expose myself, so I can't contact Feng Yujie now, right?"

Lv Qilian shook her head and said, "No, you have to find a way to contact Feng Yujie secretly. Only she knows exactly what the Pill God is like! I think it's a bit strange that the Pill God suddenly appeared here, because I heard that the Pill God left his daughter here for many years and hasn't come here many times."

Shen Xiang didn't know much about this Alchemy God. He only knew that Ye Qin was his daughter, and that this Alchemy God seemed to have an ambiguous relationship with the Lord of the Goddess Palace.

"Could Ye Qin be the daughter of this Alchemy God and the Goddess Palace Master?" Shen Xiang only heard what the old man in black said.

"No, the Lord of the Goddess Palace cannot have children or a partner, so this is impossible! Feng Yujie told me about some things about the Goddess Palace before, so this is just a rumor, but I suspect that this Pill God has a close relationship with the Lord of the Goddess Palace, and they may be relatives."

Because Feng Yujie wanted to invite Lv Qilian to join the Goddess Temple before, Lv Qilian took the opportunity to ask a lot of questions about the Goddess Temple, so she was more familiar with these things.

Lu Qilian said: "Leave the matter of contacting Feng Yujie to me, you and Xueyi go find cheap middle-grade and high-grade holy medicines."

Shen Xiang and Long Xueyi nodded, left the house, and then split into two groups, going to those medicine shops individually to inquire about the market and see if there were any cheap mid-grade holy medicines.

The spiritual beads cultivated by Shen Xiang and Lu Qilian together can make medicinal materials of extremely poor quality become of very good quality, so this can save them a lot of money.

"Shenhan Dan Shop, this is where they sell pills, right? It looks like they're doing good business, with so many people inside." Shen Xiang passed by a shop that was decorated very grandly. It was several stories high and had a great location. One could tell at a glance that it was not a shop run by an ordinary person.

As soon as Shen Xiang entered, he saw a banner hanging on the wall with some words written on it: "Special sale of top-grade holy pills with exclusive secret recipe."

This shop sells top-grade holy pills, which means that the shop has a good pill saint who is refining pills for them, which means that the shop is very powerful. Especially for the top-grade holy pills, they do require exclusive secret recipes to be refined, and it is not easy to get these recipes, and you have to pay a lot to get them.

These pill recipes are not allowed to be spread outside at will. Once discovered, they may even incur punishment from the Pill God. Therefore, if you want to obtain the recipe of the top-grade holy pill, you need to ask the Pill God to buy it, and the price is very high.

"The Qiansheng Pill refined by our exclusive secret recipe is recognized by many saints and gods. After taking it, it can strengthen the divine power. Even if a mysterious god eats it, it will have a good effect."

Shen Xiang asked an old man what this unique top-grade holy pill was, and got this answer.

There are many names for top-grade holy pills because there are too many pill recipes. However, many of them are similar, with only different effects. If the top-grade holy pills have significant effects, most of them are very famous. Shen Xiang has heard of several of them.

The recipes of famous top-grade holy elixirs were all developed by some alchemy gods after years of research, so they are not only precious but also difficult to obtain.

"This Qiansheng Pill is not on sale yet. We have sold several batches before, and many people rushed to buy each batch, so now we are just promoting it and let everyone prepare the magic money." The old man said again.

Shen Xiang left the Shen Han shop and went outside to inquire. He learned that the Qian Sheng Dan was indeed very good. After taking it, the divine power would be significantly enhanced, especially for those with weaker divine power. The effect would be more obvious.

This Qiansheng Pill does not improve cultivation and the reserves of divine power, it only enhances divine power, so it is very popular.

Next, Shen Xiang inquired about the origin of the Shenhan shop, and unexpectedly, it was related to one of the great disciples of the God of Wealth.

This disciple Shen Xiang was very familiar with, he was the Fengshen! And the person who opened this shop was the son of Fengshen, named Li Zhonghan!

Afterwards, he found out something quite interesting, which was that Li Zhonghan came all the way here to open a shop, and his main purpose was to pursue Ye Qin, the daughter of the God of Alchemy!

Li Zhonghan is very powerful and is a mysterious god. He does not know how to make elixirs, but he has called two titled Alchemy Saints to run his shop. Therefore, his shop has the best business here except for the Goddess Temple, and he makes the most money.

"One pill of Qian Sheng Dan costs one hundred thousand Divine Money. Each time he sells a batch of only a hundred pills, he can earn tens of millions of Divine Money." Shen Xiang secretly exclaimed in his heart. Selling high-level Holy Pills is indeed very profitable: "If I sell a mid-grade Lingguang Holy Pill, it may only be twenty or thirty thousand per pill. It is difficult to refine, and the pills produced are few!"

Mid-grade holy pills are very difficult to refine. Although they do not require a secret recipe, they require the fusion of multiple mid-grade holy medicines, which makes refining very difficult.

The difficulty of refining mid-grade holy pills and top-grade holy pills is equally great. The reason why top-grade holy pills are one stage higher than mid-grade ones is because top-grade holy pills require secret recipes and some top-grade holy medicines.

Shen Xiang went to several medicine shops and inquired about the mid-grade holy medicines, but they were all relatively expensive. The ordinary ones cost more than five thousand divine coins, and the good and rare ones even cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

At night, he and Long Xueyi returned to Lu Qilian's house, and they both quoted their prices.

"The price of elixirs has increased a lot now, probably because the Hell Temple collapsed." Long Xueyi said, "I asked some people, and they all said that the price has increased a lot recently."

Shen Xiang asked: "Why is it related to the collapse of the Hell Temple? There is no reason for this!"

Long Xueyi stuck out her tongue and said, "How should I know? Anyway, these unscrupulous merchants are all raising prices for good reasons, no matter what you are. Because the price of elixirs has been too low for many years, and now those who do elixir business also have a large amount of elixirs in stock, so they secretly collude to raise prices."

Lv Qilian shook her head and said, "That shouldn't be the case. In the past, my Baihua Palace would need to slow down the sale of pills due to some circumstances. In order to ensure that there are a certain amount of pills to sell, we would raise the price significantly! For example, if we are facing a war and need to consume a large amount of pills, we will raise the price, so that the speed of pill sales will be slower and there will be no shortage of stocks."

Shen Xiang frowned and said: "Could it be that during this period of time, those temples that sell elixirs are in urgent need of consuming a large amount of elixirs themselves? What happened?"

Lv Qilian said: "I have contacted Feng Yujie. She may come to my place tomorrow. I think she should know what happened."
