Chapter 99 The Auspicious Beast (5,000 words long chapter, please subscribe!
After walking out of Tianxiang Tower, he turned a corner, and soon Song Jie arrived at the Spiritual Medicine Studio.
I estimated the elixirs to be sold next time I set up a stall, and purchased the corresponding medicinal materials, spending a total of thirty-three spiritual stones.
After deducting the daily expenses during this period, including the rent of five spiritual stones.
Song Jie now has 777 spiritual stones left in his deposit.
Carrying large and small bags of medicinal materials, Song Jie quickly returned home after walking through several streets.
First, he went to the kitchen, sorted the purchased medicinal materials according to different elixirs, and placed them on the shelves.
Then he went to the yard and started practicing spells and body skills.
……
The sun rises and the moon sets.
The moon rises and sets again.
Before I knew it, another seven days had passed.
During these seven days, Song Jie spent almost all of his time refining elixirs, practicing, and studying Yin-nourishing elixirs.
During this period, I went out with Shi Lei to confirm their store.
It was the store where the previous store had some vacillation.
After shopping around, they found that store that best met their requirements.
This time Song Jie and Shi Lei went over, and the store owner finally made up his mind to sublet the store.
Compared with the subletting of houses, the subletting of stores is not that fast.
They had to wait for the store to clear out the goods, and then go to the rental and sales office together to go through the subletting procedures.
After Song Jie and Shi Lei discussed it, they gave the store a month to clear out the inventory.
This time is quite generous, and the store owner has no reason to disagree.
Immediately, the three simply drafted an agreement.
If the store then regrets it and fails to perform according to the agreement.
Then Song Jie and Shi Lei can take this agreement and go to the house rental office and ask the monks from the three major families to come forward.
Ask the store to fulfill the agreement.
If the store still refuses to fulfill the agreement, the monks from the three major families will take strong measures to force the store to fulfill the agreement.
In addition to the matters at the store, the silver scale soft armor that Song Jie commissioned Shi Lei to repair has also been repaired.
Shi Lei was still very generous and accepted Song Jie’s material fee, a total of twenty spiritual stones.
The silver scale soft armor, which was originally damaged in many places, became as good as new after Shi Lei’s repairs.
After Song Jie received it, he happily put on the silver scale soft armor again.
There was an immediate sense of security.
In addition, Song Jie also raised his proficiency in Qingming Youhuo to a proficient level a few days ago.
So these days, Song Jie has become more comfortable refining the first-grade elixir.
The probability of refining a first-grade inferior elixir has increased a lot compared to before.
These days, he has refined a total of five bottles of first-grade inferior elixir.
Among them, there are two bottles of rejuvenation pills and three bottles of Fuling Pills.
As for the Yin-nourishing elixirs, Song Jie has introduced a total of five prescriptions these days.
They are all versions to be verified.
After closing the stall today, he planned to go to Lingyao Zhai to buy some medicinal materials and come back to refine the five prescriptions into elixirs and verify them.
As for the subjects of the experiment.
Because this is a yin-nourishing elixir, Dahei and Dahuang are obviously no longer qualified for the job of the elixir-testing dogs.
Song Jie had no choice but to retire them honorably and use them again when needed in the future.
As for the prostitutes in Tianxiang Tower, Song Jie did not dare to give them unproven elixirs.
So after thinking about it, Song Jie planned to buy a few more mice after closing the stall today.
You need to buy both male and female pills, otherwise you won’t be able to verify the effect of the Yin-nourishing elixir.
“Today is also a day of great wealth~”
As usual, Song Jie cheered himself up and went out with his three-piece set for setting up a stall.
After crossing several streets, Song Jie arrived at the stall not long after.
“Good morning, sister-in-law~”
Song Jiewei left early today. As soon as he arrived at the stall, he saw that Li Caiwei had just tidied up the stall.
“Brother Song, you came quite early today.” Li Caiwei smiled.
Song Jie placed his personal signboard and small horse tie and said with a smile: “After closing the stall later, I have to buy something, so I left the stall early today.
“I hope I can sell out the elixirs and close the stall soon.”
“Brother Song, please work hard~”
Li Caiwei winked, then smiled and said, “How many bottles of first-grade inferior elixir have Brother Song refined this time?”
“I was lucky this time, and I refined five bottles of first-grade inferior elixir.
“Two bottles of Rejuvenation Pills and three bottles of Restoration Pills.”
With a smile on his face, Song Jie sat on the pony, took out the pills from the medicine box one by one, and placed them on the stall.
Li Caiwei was quite surprised and said: “Brother Song, with his talent in alchemy, it is a pity not to go to the Alchemy Sect.”
Although she is not an alchemist, she has been around in Xinyuefang City for so many years, so she naturally knows some basic common sense about cultivating immortals.
She remembered clearly that the last time Song Jie went to the stall, he refined two bottles of first-grade inferior elixir.
This time when I went to the stall, I refined five bottles of first-grade inferior elixir.
The interval in between was only seven or eight days.
This is enough to show that Song Jie’s alchemy talent is really extraordinary.
At least in this Xinyuefang City, Li Caiwei had never heard of any wild alchemist who could achieve Song Jie’s level.
Song Jie waved his hand and said with a smile: “There is nothing regrettable.
“If you give up, you will gain~” Although I gave up joining the Alchemy Sect, I gained the freedom I wanted.
“Besides, we’re going to open a store soon, wouldn’t it be nice to open a store and be the boss of our own store?
“Maybe we can expand the store to Yunmiao City in the future and open a larger store there.”
“Yunmiao City…” Li Caiwei covered her mouth and smiled: “I didn’t expect Brother Song to have such ambitions.
“Brother Shi and I don’t dare to think that one day we can open a shop in Yunmiao City.
“I will be satisfied if I can run the store well in Xinyuefang City.”
Yunmiao City, as a big city where monks gather, is many times larger than Xinyuefang City.
Many industries of the five major sects are established in Yunmiao City.
In Xinyuefang City, it is almost difficult to see the whereabouts of monks in the foundation building stage.
But in Yunmiao City, although the foundation-building monks are not everywhere, they can often be seen.
If there is no foundation building, even if you are at the eighth or ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage, you will only be reduced to a low-level monk when you go to Yunmiao City.
Li Caiwei is only at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage, so naturally she doesn’t dare to open a shop in Yunmiao City.
Song Jie laughed and said calmly: “When people live in this world, they should always have some dreams, so that they can have motivation in life.”
“Brother Song is right.”
While the two were chatting and laughing, Song Jie arranged all the elixirs for sale neatly.
There are thirty bottles of aphrodisiac elixirs in total.
Among them, there are three bottles of Bupo Pill, four bottles of Yuanyang Pill, and 21 bottles of Diamond Dragon and Tiger Pill.
There are ten bottles of elixir in one bottle.
Five bottles of rejuvenation pills and five bottles of rejuvenating pills.
This is the elixir that Song Jie has refined during this period.
There were also four bottles of Fu Ling Pills, which were consumed by him during the process of refining the elixir.
After all the elixirs for sale were placed, not long after, a familiar and hearty laughter came from not far away.
“Fellow Daoist Song, I haven’t seen you for a long time, Miao, I’m back again.”
Song Jie heard the news and went there and found that the person coming was none other than his number one regular customer, Miao Tong.
Immediately, Song Jie’s face was also full of smiles.
“It’s been a long time indeed. What have fellow Taoist Miao been busy with recently?”
In his impression, in the past two or three times when he went out to the stall, he never saw Miao Tong coming to buy elixirs from him.
Even when I went to Tianxiang Tower, I didn’t see Miao Tong.
The last time he went to Tianxiang Tower for consultation, Song Jie specifically asked Fairy Yunshang.
Fairy Yunshang also said that Taoist fellow Taoist Miao had not been to Tianxiang Tower for a long time.
Song Jie originally thought that something unexpected had happened to Miao Tong, because even his favorite fairy Yun Shang could resist not seeing her for so long.
The world of immortality can be said to be eternal and unchanged, but it is also changing rapidly.
Maybe there are two people talking and laughing today, but tomorrow they will be separated for life and death.
So after getting the news from Fairy Yunshang, Song Jie also held a moment of silence for Miao Tong.
Thousands of emotions arose in my heart.
But he never thought that fellow Taoist Miao Tong, who he thought had encountered an accident, appeared in front of him again today.
And looking at it, he seems to be in pretty good spirits.
Song Jie was extremely happy about this.
In a few steps, Miao Tong came to Song Jie’s stall and laughed and said: “During this period, several fellow Taoists and I have been in Shiwanda Mountain.
“That’s why I didn’t come to patronize Fellow Daoist Song’s business.”
“Oh?” A flash of surprise flashed in Song Jie’s eyes, and he asked: “How come Fellow Daoist Miao stayed in Shiwan Mountain for so long this time?”
I know that every time Miao Tong goes to the mountains, it usually doesn’t last more than five days.
The longest one time was ten days.
But this time, Miao Tong stayed in the Hundred Thousand Mountains for more than ten days.
Hearing Song Jie’s question, Miao Tong’s eyes flashed with surprise.
He asked in return: “Did Master Song not hear about it?”
“What did you hear?” Song Jie looked confused.
He stayed at home refining elixirs almost every day, and there was no news he could hear.
Miao Tong didn’t realize this before, but now he realized that Song Jie was an alchemist.
He immediately explained: “There were rumors a while ago that there are auspicious beasts in Shiwan Mountain.
“And the rumors also said that it was an auspicious beast in its infancy.
“When many monks heard the news, they went into the mountains to look for the auspicious beast.
“As for me, I’m also joining in the fun.
“I found a few fellow Taoists and went into the mountains together to try our luck.
“If we really catch the auspicious beast in its infancy, we will make a fortune.”
When Song Jie heard this, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
Reviewing the information about the auspicious beast in the memory of the original owner.
The so-called auspicious beasts, as the name suggests, refer to auspicious beasts, that is, monsters that can bring auspiciousness.
Powers such as those sects and families will raise some auspicious animals to bless their luck and bring auspiciousness.
Some casual cultivators, if they have no shortage of spiritual stones, will also raise an auspicious beast to improve their luck.
Before traveling through time, the auspicious beasts in Song Jie’s impression were all mythical creatures such as unicorn and Pixiu.
After traveling to this world, I discovered that the auspicious beasts in the world of immortality refer to some monster beasts with relatively high luck.
In the world of immortal cultivation, there are many theories about luck, which are very mysterious.
Unfortunately, because the original owner was only a casual cultivator at the bottom of the immortal world and didn’t know much about luck, Song Jie didn’t understand the theory of luck very well.
But it can be seen from the fact that those sects, families and other forces raise auspicious beasts, that luck is indeed something that cannot be ignored.
Thinking of this, Song Jie immediately asked: “Did fellow Taoist Miao catch that young auspicious beast?”
“Of course there is no such thing. Not to mention catching the auspicious beast, we didn’t even see the shadow of the auspicious beast.
“Until now, I haven’t heard of anyone catching that auspicious beast.
“I even doubt whether the rumor that there are auspicious beasts in Shiwanda Mountain is false.”
Miao Tong sighed lightly, but he didn’t look very disappointed.
Before setting off, he actually knew that the probability of catching the auspicious beast was very slim, so he was just trying his luck.
The auspicious beast itself has its own auspiciousness and has the luck to seek good luck and avoid bad luck, so how can it be caught by the monks so easily.
So after wandering around in the Shiwan Mountain for almost half a month, I had almost eaten Bigu Dan.
Miao Tong and his fellow Taoists left Shiwandashan and returned to Xinyuefang City.
Song Jie heard this and comforted him: “Fellow Taoist Miao, there is no need to be discouraged. There is a saying that goes like this.
“There are times in life that must come, but there are times in life that don’t force you.
“Although you didn’t catch the auspicious beast, there may be other good luck waiting for you.”
“Hahaha…you really got it right, Fellow Daoist Song.
“Although I didn’t catch any auspicious animals this time I went into the mountains, I still gained a lot.
“No, as soon as I exchanged this harvest for spiritual stones, I immediately came to Fellow Daoist Song to buy elixirs.”
“Then I really want to thank fellow Taoist Miao for your support~”
Song Jie bowed his hand to Miao Tong, and then asked: “What kind of elixir are you going to buy this time, fellow Taoist Miao?”
“I heard that Fellow Daoist Song has been able to refine first-grade inferior rejuvenation pills and rejuvenation pills?”
“Exactly. Fellow Taoist Miao, would you like a bottle?”
“Are the Rejuvenation Pills and Fuling Pills both of first-grade and inferior quality?”
“That must be there.” Song Jie laughed.
Miao Tong immediately said cheerfully: “Then get a bottle of Rejuvenation Pill and Fuling Pill, both of low quality.
“Another bottle of Diamond Dragon and Tiger Pill. I haven’t seen Fairy Yunshang for a few days to catch up with old times. I miss her so much, hahaha…”
Song Jie blinked and said, “Fellow Taoist Miao, don’t you even ask me how I sell my inferior rejuvenation pills and rejuvenation pills?” Just one bottle of each? “
“Do you need to ask more? Fellow Daoist Song’s pricing is absolutely fair.
“Fellow Daoist Song just tell me how many spiritual stones there are in total.”
Song Jie smiled gratefully and said, “Thank you, fellow Taoist Miao, for your trust.
“But I still want to say that this price is better, so that Fellow Daoist Miao will know better.”
Immediately, Song Jie told the price of low-grade rejuvenation pills and Fuling pills.
After hearing this, Miao Tong decisively took out ten spiritual stones and bought the needed elixir from Song Jie.
After putting the three bottles of elixirs into his arms, Miao Tong stopped staying here. After saying goodbye to Song Jie, he rushed towards Tianxiang Tower in a hurry.
Seeing Miao Tong’s eager and excited face, Song Jie couldn’t help but shake his head and smile.
“Fellow Daoist Miao, this is how you can truly live a free and unrestrained life.
“After I earned the spiritual stone, I immediately went to Tianxiang Tower to spend it.
“This is what we call today’s wine and today’s drunkenness…”
When Li Caiwei heard this, she immediately covered her mouth and said with a smile: “Brother Song, do you want this too?”
“That’s not true, I’m just feeling a little emotional.” Song Jie shook his head and smiled: “Everyone has his own ambitions…
“Although I can chat with fellow Taoist Miao, we are not the same people after all.
“At least in that respect, they’re not like-minded.”
Li Caiwei’s eyes moved as she said, “Brother Song is quite frank.”
Song Jie smiled slightly and did not continue the topic.
Then he asked: “Sister-in-law, do you think the rumors about the auspicious beasts in the Hundred Thousand Mountains are true or false?”
“It should be true.” Li Caiwei raised her head and thought for a moment, then continued: “After all, so many monks have gone to Shiwan Mountain to catch auspicious beasts, so there is still a certain degree of credibility.
“What? Brother Song is also interested in that auspicious beast?”
Song Jie shook his head and said with a smile: “That’s not true. I am only at the third level of Qi refining stage, so I don’t dare to have any ideas.
“I’m just a little curious about what the auspicious beast looks like, and how it is different in appearance from ordinary monsters…”
“As for the difference in appearance, ordinary monks really can’t tell.
“Only when you have practiced the art of looking at qi to a certain level, you can see the destiny behind it.
“Only with the naked eye can we tell whether it is an auspicious beast or an ordinary monster.”
Hearing Li Caiwei’s confident answer, Song Jie couldn’t help but curiously asked: “Have you ever seen the auspicious beast?”
“Yeah, I’ve seen it before.”
Li Caiwei nodded and replied briefly, seemingly not intending to expand on this topic in depth.
Seeing this, Song Jie stopped asking further questions and instead smiled and said, “It would be great if we could also get an auspicious beast to come to the store.
“When the store opens, it will definitely make a lot of money~”
“If Brother Song wants to raise an auspicious beast, he can buy one and raise it after he earns enough spiritual stones.”
“If you want to spend spiritual stones to buy it, you don’t know until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.”
Song Jie smiled helplessly.
He thought of the little carp in the pond in his yard.
When Ni Qinghong sublet the house to herself, the little carps in the pond were still very active.
After he moved in, he died not long after.
If you spent a large amount of spiritual stones to buy an auspicious beast,
I’m just afraid that it won’t be long before he is raised to death.
In that case, it would be a huge loss.
After the two chatted for a few more words, they immediately stopped communicating when they saw a customer coming to the door.
……
As evening approached, Song Jie also successfully sold all the pills he brought this time.
A total of eighty-two spiritual stones were recorded.
After cleaning up the stall, Song Jie said goodbye to Li Caiwei.
“Sister-in-law, I want to buy some medicinal materials for alchemy, so I’m going to go first.”
“Okay, brother Song, walk slowly~”
Immediately, Song Jie took his three-piece stall set and went straight to the elixir studio.
On the way, Song Jie was thinking about his plans for the next period of time as he walked.
“The Yin-nourishing elixir entrusted by Yun Mengdie has been delayed for some time.
“Work harder in the next few days, try to refine the yin-nourishing elixir first, and give Yun Mengdie an answer.
“After refining the yin-nourishing elixir, we can then refine the elixir to be sold at the next stall.
“At the same time, the improvement and upgrading of Yuanyang Pill entrusted by fellow Taoist Huangfu will also be put on the agenda.
“Try to clear all these commissions within three weeks.
“Then we will start preparing for the store opening…”
