Chapter 943: Show Some Skills
一個虛偽到極點的傢夥，差點被他的矇騙。”“原來是這樣，看來他被你們看穿之後，氣急敗壞，得小心一點這傢夥。”沈翔可不怕那青蛙王，他隻是擔心那個傢夥用陰損的手段對付姬靈兒和紅霞。“嗯，聽說那傢夥用毒非常厲害，陰招不少，我們在這聖獸山脈裡麵就得經常提防他。不過不用太過於擔心，在這聖樹上麵他不敢使用那些厲害的毒，被髮現可是死罪。”紅霞笑了笑，抿了一口香茶。青王離開冇多久，就走進來一名看起來很和藹的灰衣老者...Chapter 943 - Showing My Hand
After joining the Dragon Mount Sect, Duan Sanchang became more subdued and didn’t often venture out. Instead, he taught Yan Yanyan and Lanlan some array-breaking techniques within the Dragon Mount Pill Pavilion. Seeing him diligently guiding Yan Yanyan and Lanlan, Shen Qiang couldn’t help but wonder if the little grave robber wanted to cultivate these two women into female grave robbers
Shen Qiang spent all day condensing Creation God essence in the Dragon Mount Pill Pavilion, sometimes practicing True Qi too. He had only gone through the Second Euphoria Tribulation and was far behind most of the big shots.
The Dragon Mount Sect couldn’t rely on only Li Baoyun to become powerful, they needed a group of young powerhouses as the foundation. So Shen Qiang had to provide them with plenty of high-grade pills, making Lanlan and the others rise quickly in strength.
Over the past two months, Shen Qiang had condensed a great number of Creation God essence and increased his True Qi too. After eating the Five Elements Mystical Essence Pill, he had to use such pills to speed up his cultivation.
Every once in a while, Shen Qiang would go to visit Li Baoyun and ask him about the best-selling medicine pills in Pill City. He would then get Su Meiyao and Bai Youyou to copy them into large quantities.
Of course, the best-selling medicine pills would be Foundation Establishment Pills. Despite the vastness of the human realm now, Foundation Establishment Pill ingredients were still in shortage. Though they could be bought on the market nowadays, the price was extremely high. Foundation Establishment Pills were only low-grade but cost more than middle-grade ones and could hardly be bought in great numbers.
“Top-quality Foundation Establishment Pills have increased in price, now selling at 200 thousand crystal stones each. If they’re priced at 500 thousand crystal stones, someone would still buy them. The large pill shops are always out of stock, with only those who have good connections being able to buy them. These shops sell about 100 Foundation Establishment Pills per month,” Yan Yanyan said. This was information that she and Lanlan had investigated.
“The price of medicinal materials for Foundation Establishment Pills remains too high. Because the Qingxuan Fruit is hard to cultivate and takes a long time to ripen, we have only had enough ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pills,” Lanlan said.
A good alchemist could at most make two Foundation Establishment Pills, and their quality couldn’t be guaranteed. But Shen Qiang could produce four top-quality Foundation Establishment Pills in one furnace!
“Senior Baoyun, I have plenty of medicinal materials for Foundation Establishment Pills. Can you make four top-quality ones from one furnace” Shen Qiang asked.
Senior Baoyun furrowed his brows. “I can only make three top-quality ones from one furnace.”
Everyone present knew that Shen Qiang’s alchemy technique was extremely skillful, from the look on Li Baoyun’s face. He felt ashamed of himself with regards to quantity compared to Senior Baoyun.
“The second best-selling medicine pills are Five Elements True Essence Pill. They sell at around 200 thousand crystal stones each, followed by Pure Qi Golden Pill, at four hundred thousand each. Then there’s the Heaven-grade Xuan Yang Fire Pill and Immortalevity Pill, which sell at around seven to eight hundred thousand crystal stones. Medicine pills from the Earth-grade are not as popular,” Yan Yanyan said.
The reason why Earth-grade medicine pills were not as popular was because there weren’t many of them and only few people could afford to buy. Shen Qiang planned to focus more on Heaven-grade medicine pills because they weren’t as difficult to make and the target audience was large. They didn’t require much Creation God essence either, making them more profitable than Earth-grade medicine pills.
“We don’t lack crystal stones, but we need a good reputation. If the Dragon Mount Sect’s name becomes well-known, it would be much easier for us to do many things in the future! It could also allow our forces to grow quickly and attract more powerhouses,” Shen Qiang said.
Yan Yanyan and Lanlan knew that Shen Qiang had already received a dragon lineage, so he naturally didn’t lack crystal stones.
“I have plenty of medicinal materials for alchemy. Senior Baoyun, you might want to get busy now!” Shen Qiang said with a smile. “Of course, I’ll take care of some too. Hope you can recruit more powerful alchemists!”
Although Pangu Paradise provided plenty of medicinal materials, most of them were low-grade and couldn’t occupy the market.
Senior Baoyun was shocked when he saw the medicinal materials from Shen Qiang’s storage ring. If he could make these pills, they would consist of at least ten thousand pills each!
“Teacher, I don’t think my old bones can take this much work!” Li Baoyun said with a bitter smile.
“Don’t worry, I’m not asking you to make them all at once. Since these medicine pills are so popular, we’ll release twenty pills each day for every type of pill. If possible, try bidding too. Senior Baoyun, you’ll make these medicine pills, leaving the low-grade ones to other alchemists,” Shen Qiang said. “There are over 100 Foundation Establishment Pills, 500 Pure Qi Golden Pill, 200 Heaven-grade Xuan Yang Fire Pills, and 1 thousand Five Elements True Essence Pill. This is good enough for a long time.”
Duan Sanchang, Lanlan and Yan Yanyan were quite surprised where Shen Qiang got his medicinal materials from. And they could imagine how many pills Shen Qiang had to eat like food!
This was medicinal materials that were made by Shen Qiang himself, he had also eaten some of them but only as sweets. These low-grade pills weren’t effective on him, but they were treasures of great use for many other lower-level martial artists. Many big factions were willing to pay a large amount of crystal stones for these pills.
“Immortalevity Pill is quite popular, can be auctioned. One pill could add three decades to five decades of life for those who are about to die,” Yan Yanyan said.
Shen Qiang nodded and talked to Li Baoyun, “Senior Baoyun, make good use of this opportunity to solidify your foundation. Try making more pills from each furnace!”
Senior Baoyun was a great pill master, and being told so much by Shen Qiang made Lanlan feel somewhat embarrassed. After all, he was a pill master and deserved respect.
Senior Baoyun lost to Shen Qiang once before, so he accepted his defeat and nodded repeatedly. This confused Duan Sanchang and the others.
Shen Qiang looked at them, smiled slightly, “Do you guys doubt my alchemy technique”
Lanlan pouted, “Senior Baoyun is a pill master after all. He can’t be much worse than you!”
Duan Sanchang nodded too, “That’s true! He is also the legitimate descendant of Li Tianjun!”
“Teacher, I admit that I lost to you. But I’ve improved over the years too so I want to have a good chance against you again. Though my cultivation and age give me great advantages, I think we both know who’ll win,” Li Baoyun was really wanting this match. He felt that it was a good opportunity to prove himself.
“Senior Baoyun, I think you’ll still lose to me. How about it Let’s see my technique” Shen Qiang chuckled. Although he only learned a little bit of the Great Ten Refinement Technique, he could perform ten refinements now.
This was a huge shock for everyone, Li Baoyun smiled and said, “I’d like to see your technique too! Let’s begin then!”n emerged from the ground, dusted himself off, and said, "It's not easy to see him. But if you really want to meet him, just come to me!"The bald youth pointed at the hole on the ground and laughed, "...
