“Ten pills of Bigu Pills can fill a bottle, fifty pills can make five bottles,
and can be sold for one spiritual stone. “After working so hard for so long, the output is only one spiritual stone. “
Song Jie gave a bitter smile.
After all, the Bigu Pills were low-grade pills, so that was the price.
Moreover, this was only his first pot, and with the herbs he had processed before, he could probably make another five pots of Bigu Pills.
With his proficiency in making Bigu Pills, there was almost no possibility of failure.
When he had refined all the herbs into Bigu Pills, he could produce thirty bottles of Bigu Pills, which could be sold for six spirit stones.
Thinking of this, Song Jie was motivated to work again.
After transferring the Bigu Pills on the chopping board to a dustpan and arranging them neatly, Song Jie took the Bigu Pills to the sun to dry. The
refined Bigu Pills still needed to be dried for a while to dry out the moisture in them, so that they could be preserved for a longer time.
After a short rest, Song Jie began to refine the second pot of Bigu Pills.
…
A few days later, Song Jie packed the thirty bottles of Bigu Pills and came to the Baodan Building with ease.
As a former employee of the Baodan Building, Song Jie met Bao Xu very smoothly.
”Manager Bao, these are thirty bottles of Bigu Pills, please. “
Bao Xu took the Bigu Pill handed over by Song Jie, checked it roughly, and found no problems.
Bao Xu still trusted Song Jie’s Bigu Pill refining level.
Bigu Pill is a must-have pill in the circle of Qi Refining cultivators, and it is almost easy to sell.
Especially since Xinyue Market is not far from the Shiwan Mountains, many cultivators who go to the Shiwan Mountains for adventure and treasure hunting will bring a few bottles of Bigu Pill.
So Bao Xu did not wait until the pills were sold before settling with Song Jie. He directly took out six spirit stones according to the market price outside and handed them to Song Jie, and then said:
”Xiao Jie, if you don’t find other ways later, you can still continue to consign Bigu Pills at Baodan Building.
”It’s just that Baodan Building will take 30% of the spirit stones earned. This has always been the rule, and you should understand it.”
Song Jie nodded to show his understanding.
The price of Bigu Pill itself is not high, and most cultivators still prefer to buy Bigu Pill at Baodan Building, so that the quality is guaranteed and it can better resist hunger.
And not just any casual cultivator can consign pills at Baodan Building. One must pass a strict assessment and gain the trust of Baodan Building before consigning pills at Baodan Building.
As a former employee of Baodan Building, Song Jie does not need to undergo any assessment, which can be regarded as an invisible benefit for former employees.
However, Song Jie does not plan to consign the Bigu Pills at Baodan Building for the time being. After all, 30% of the spirit stones will be taken, which is not a small amount for Song Jie. After
exchanging a few pleasantries with Bao Xu, Song Jie said goodbye and left.
”There is still half a month, so I can refine another batch of Bigu Pills.”
With the six spirit stones he just earned, Song Jie went straight to the herbal medicine store.
The previous thirty bottles of Bigu Pills took about fourteen days from buying materials to refining.
Bao Xu promised him a month of free consignment. He wanted to refine another batch of Bigu Pills before this month was over to obtain more spirit stones.
Free resources, you are a fool if you don’t grab them.
After arriving at the herbal medicine store, Song Jie still bought three spirit stones’ worth of herbs.
In just half a month, he bought too many herbs and could not finish refining them.
Moreover, he also had a preliminary plan for the future, so this time he did not use all the spirit stones to buy herbs for the Bigu Pill.
After returning to his residence with several large bags of herbs.
Song Jie skillfully poured the herbs that needed to be powdered into a dustpan and took them outside to dry.
Then he lit a fire to fry sesame seeds, boiled honey…
After nearly half a month of busy work, Song Jie once again refined thirty bottles of Bigu Pills and exchanged them for six spirit stones from the Baodan Building.
”Huh~” After walking out of the Baodan Building, Song Jie couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
He touched the nine spiritual stones in his pocket and couldn’t help but say with a bitter face: “It’s too hard to earn these spiritual stones.”
Thinking back to how hard he worked this month, the spiritual stones only went from five to nine.
If you deduct one yuan for rent and daily expenses, it’s from three to nine.
After working hard for a month to refine the elixir, he only made a net profit of six spiritual stones.
”This… No one told me that the life of a cultivator is so difficult~”
If there was a choice, Song Jie would definitely refuse to travel through time.
He has begun to miss the days when his fans called him the master.
After a moment of sadness, Song Jie put his mood in order and came to the central square of Xinyuefang Market. As
soon as he arrived here, a commotion came over him.
The square was crowded with people, and the stalls were lined up.
It was still the morning market, and all kinds of hawking, communication, and bargaining sounds were intertwined, making Song Jie’s ears a little itchy.
Passing through the crowded flow of people, Song Jie came to a stall.
He glanced at the dazzling array of weapons and protective gear on the stall.
Bronze swords, scimitars, red tassel spears, pine hammers, cowhide whips, leather clothes, scale armor, riding boots…
These weapons and protective gear were not what Song Jie came here for. After a quick glance, he turned his eyes to the back of the stall, where a beautiful woman with a good figure sat.
”Fellow Daoist Song, you are here, but have you thought it through?”
The beautiful woman was not surprised to see Song Jie, as if she had known that he would come.
Song Jie looked at the beautiful woman in a red tight leather jacket and nodded, “Yes, I hope Fellow Daoist Li will take care of me in the future.”
In the past month, in addition to refining the Bigu Pill at home, Song Jie occasionally went out to find opportunities to make a living.
After many investigations, he found that setting up a stall to sell pills would be more suitable for him now.
It’s just that the stall fee is really a bit expensive, at least for Song Jie’s financial ability, it is a bit expensive.
The stall fee in the central square of Xinyuefang, the cheapest one, costs a full three spirit stones a month.
Considering the output of his alchemy, if he opened the stall once every seven days, he could only open the stall four or five times a month. It
would be too wasteful to pay the rent of a stall by himself, even if it was the cheapest one.
So he thought of finding someone to share the stall with.
Then he found the beautiful woman in front of him.
He swore that he was definitely not looking for her to share the stall because of her beauty.
The beautiful woman’s name was Li Caiwei, a cultivator at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage, and she was a married woman.
As far as Song Jie knew, Li Caiwei’s husband was a cultivator at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage, but Song Jie didn’t know his name yet.
The weapons and protective gear on the stall were all made by Li Caiwei’s husband, and Li Caiwei was responsible for selling them here.
The two had already discussed the matters of sharing the stall.
Song Jie only needed a small space to sell pills, and he would open the stall four or five times a month.
According to the results of the previous negotiations, Song Jie only needed to pay one spirit stone for the stall fee every month, and the rest would be borne by Li Caiwei.
After confirming that they would share the rent, Song Jie readily gave Li Caiwei a Lingshi as the stall fee for the next month.
After chatting with the other party for a few more words, he said goodbye and left, heading straight for the herbal medicine store.
Arriving at the herbal medicine store with ease, Song Jie first spent two Lingshi to buy the raw materials for the Bigu Pill.
While the pharmacy owner was packing the herbs, Song Jie first looked around, then smiled mysteriously, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and then stretched out his right hand to cover his mouth and whispered:
”Shopkeeper Liu, please tell me, do you sell yinyanghuo here?”
