After two days of hard work, Song Jie finally finished refining the Budou Pill.
Including the three Budou Pills he refined in his first attempt, he refined a total of thirty-three Budou Pills this time.
When Song Jie bought the raw materials for the Budou Pills before, he did not buy them according to the proportion of the formula, so there were surpluses of black aconite, yiqiren, and licorice.
If he bought the raw materials according to the proportion of the formula, he estimated that one Lingshi of raw materials could be used to refine about forty Budou Pills.
Song Jie also had a plan for the pricing of the Budou Pills
. He planned to pack ten Budou Pills into a bottle, and sell one bottle for one Lingshi.
This was a well-thought-out decision after researching the market.
Budou Pills are ultimately low-grade pills, and no one will buy them if the price is too high.
If the price is low, the profit will be less, so it is better to sell them as Bigu Pills.
For this kind of special-purpose pill, most cultivators will accept an appropriate premium.
The price of one Lingshi per bottle is just right in Song Jie’s opinion.
After taking a look at the sky just getting light outside, Song Jie immediately packed up twenty bottles of Bigu Pills and three bottles of Budao Pills.
Then he picked up a wooden board in the corner with two lines of words written on it.
After confirming that he had taken everything he needed, Song Jie opened the door and headed straight for the central square of Xinyuefang City.
Today, he was finally going to set up his stall. He
had rented the stall for more than ten days, and today was the first time he set up his stall.
If Li Caiwei had not given him only five days to consider, he would have planned to sign an agreement with the other party the day before setting up the stall.
This would have saved him another ten days of stall rental fees.
But life is like this, how can everything go according to your wishes?
Since it was his first time setting up a stall, Song Jie went out early, and when he arrived at the stall, Li Caiwei had not arrived yet.
In the entire central square, there were only a few stall owners tidying up their stalls and placing various goods on the stalls.
Song Jie looked around, then walked behind the stall, spread out the stool he brought with him, and sat on it.
Then he took out bottles of pills from the package and placed them neatly on the small stall assigned to him.
After thinking for a moment, he stood the wooden board with two lines of text beside him.
It read:
”I used to work as an alchemist in Baodan Building.
I have ten years of experience in alchemy. Quality is guaranteed.”
Song Jie had just finished all this when he saw Li Caiwei coming.
”Hey~ Fellow Daoist Song, I thought you would run away after paying the spirit stones.”
Li Caiwei joked, and then cast her eyes on the wooden board next to Song Jie.
”So Fellow Daoist Song was an alchemist in Baodan Building before, but I haven’t heard you say that before.”
Song Jie looked embarrassed. When he asked Li Caiwei to rent a stall, he only told her that he was an alchemist, and he did not mention Baodan Building.
After all, he could only refine low-grade pills such as Bigu Pills and Budao Pills. Strictly speaking, he was not a real alchemist.
So he didn’t dare to say that he had refined pills in Baodan Building before.
Today, I decided to put up this wooden board just to make it easier for me to sell the pills.
In professional terms, this is called the “brand effect”.
Of course, the most important thing is that everything Song Jie wrote is true, so there is no need to worry about being exposed as a fake.
”My skills are not good, so it’s not worth mentioning.”
Song Jie laughed and didn’t want to discuss this topic in depth.
Li Caiwei’s eyes moved, and she saw what Song Jie meant. She stopped asking questions and started to organize her stall.
After putting up the weapons and protective gear for sale, seeing that there were no customers for the time being, Li Caiwei turned her head to look at Song Jie again, and said softly:
”I wonder what pills Brother Song is selling?”
Song Jie coughed lightly, his face slightly red, and said: “Bigu Pills, and… Budao Pills.”
Li Caiwei was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, and turned her head away with a slightly red face.
Although she had never heard of Budao Pills, she was a married woman after all, and combined with Song Jie’s somewhat uncomfortable expression, she could guess roughly. There was a moment of silence, and both of them were so embarrassed that they wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
”Excuse me, how much is this scale armor?”
A man’s question broke the awkward atmosphere.
Song Jie looked up and saw that the man was a rough-looking man wearing gray cloth. He had
a high nose bridge, a wide jaw, a dark complexion, and a head of dry long hair that was scattered in a mess.
He looked like a ruthless man, but when he spoke, he gave people a sense of courtesy.
Li Caiwei took a look at the man and immediately put on a smile and said, “Daoyou, this scale armor costs fifty spirit stones.”
The rough man frowned and thought for a moment.
”This price seems a bit expensive, can it be cheaper?”
Li Caiwei smiled and said,
”This scale armor is made of the scales of the golden-scaled deer. It is not only extremely hard, but also very tough.
”I think Daoyou should have been in the Ten Thousand Mountains for many years, and you must know the importance of scale armor.
”A piece of high-quality scale armor can save your life at a critical moment.”
The burly man nodded in agreement.
”I understand what you said, but the price of fifty spirit stones is indeed a bit expensive.”
Li Caiwei said without hesitation: “I wonder how many spirit stones do you think are appropriate?”
The burly man hesitated for a while and asked tentatively: “Forty spirit stones?”
Li Caiwei shook her head.
”Since you are my first customer today, I will sell it to you for forty-eight spirit stones.”
The burly man also shook his head.
”Forty-two spirit stones.”
”Forty-two spirit stones will make me lose money~” Li Caiwei sighed and acted as if she was going to suffer a big loss.
The burly man immediately showed hesitation.
He had just touched the quality of the scale armor, and it was indeed as the other party said, hard and tough.
There was no problem with the workmanship, which really made him excited.
After struggling for a moment, the burly man fixed his eyes and said through gritted teeth: “Forty-five spiritual stones! If you sell it, I’ll take it.”
”Deal!”
Li Caiwei handed the scale armor to the other party with a smile on her face, and took the forty-five spiritual stones from the other party.
”Don’t worry, fellow Daoist, the quality of our scale armor is absolutely no problem and worth the price.
”If there are any quality issues, you can come to me at any time. “
The burly man put the scale armor on his body, felt it, and nodded with satisfaction.
”Okay, thank you, fellow Daoist~”
Watching the whole process of the two people’s transaction, Song Jie couldn’t help shaking his head in his heart.
This burly man seems to be an honest man. When buying things in a place like this, doesn’t he know to cut it in half?
If it is cut in half at the beginning, this scale armor can be bought for a maximum of forty spirit stones.
People with good words can even cut a few more spirit stones.
Moreover, if you really find that there is a problem with the quality of scale armor, you are probably not far from death.
Of course, Song Jie just muttered these words in his heart, and he would not be stupid enough to say them out loud.
Seeing that the burly man was about to turn around and leave, Song Jie immediately stopped him.
”Fellow Daoist, you are going to the Ten Thousand Mountains next. Do you need to buy some fasting pills?”
