Chapter 5.
The purchasing power of spirit stones on elixirs was still very strong.
Compared to the low-rank talismans that required two or three Spirit Stones to buy at the drop of a hat, and the low-rank magic weapons that were priced in the double digits.
Pills were not too expensive as long as they were not top grade pills.
One spirit stone could buy two to three mid-grade Peiyuan Dan.
It could even be exchanged for more than one hundred and twenty Peiyuan waste pills.
Such a price of pills was also the result of the Red Iris Immortal Sect’s intentional facilitation in order to better cultivate the inner sect’s pride.
The vast majority of elixirs in the Immortal Cultivation World somehow contained more or less some sort of toxin, which was highly harmful to cultivators and should not be eaten raw.
The key to refining pills was to repel the toxins from the herbs while retaining the medicinal effects as much as possible.
Therefore, in this realm, a mature alchemist’s rate of good pills is usually seven rejects, two defects, and one hit.
The top-grade pills are all about luck, and can only be encountered by refining them enough times.
And because of the existence of the poison, so that the pride of the sky is not top quality Dan do not eat.
So in the pride of the promotion, the tacit approval of the senior management.
The result was that for the alchemists, above the middle grade, the top grade dan, which only appeared by a very small chance, became their real profit.
Each top-grade elixir was sold at a hundred times the price of a middle-grade elixir, and was always in short supply, with no market for it.
This greatly increased the alchemists’ enthusiasm for refining pills and invariably increased the production of other quality pills.
Coupled with the fact that the Immortal Sect has been upholding the policy of vigorously supporting low-ranking cultivators who have the talent to become alchemists, the Immortal Sect has been able to provide the highest level of support to those who have become alchemists.
As a result, the number of alchemists in the Immortal Sect far exceeded that of the rest of the cultivators!
It was only natural that the prices of low quality pills were suppressed as a result.
Whether or not this trend was good for the future of alchemists or not Su Ping was not sure and was not in a good position to comment.
However, Su Ping, who had gotten two hundred and thirty Peiyuan Waste Pills and one hundred and twenty Qi and Blood Waste Pills by shelling out three Spirit Stones, was still very satisfied with this situation in his heart.
After buying the waste pills and drinking the good tea sent by the old cultivator.
After Su Ping and the old cultivator complimented each other for a few sentences, they exited the Cloud Treasure House and re-entered the street.
It was at this time that Su Ping realized that there were quite a few vendors on this street who were selling those spiritual mortal beasts that the old cultivator was talking about.
This made Su Ping realize that this Immortal World was also not short of smart people doing business.
These people obviously understood that taking waste pills and feeding them to mortal beasts was not necessarily profitable.
But selling mortal beasts to those who were willing to take a gamble could definitely make money!
Su Ping swept over the mortal beasts on these stalls.
After thinking for a while, Su Ping took out a medium grade Peiyuan Dan and ten waste dans, and exchanged them from a casual cultivator of the first level of Qi cultivation for a white and a gray mouse and three small snakes.
These two mice have light in their eyes, and seem to be quite intelligent and capable of humanization.
This is also this street Su Ping perception, the most spiritual mortal beasts in the market.
Rumor has it that after growing up, rat-like spirit beasts have a great recluse skill.
Coupled with the fact that they are small enough, even in the modern world, they are also inconspicuous, Su Ping felt that he would have a place for them here.
The three small snakes were a bit inferior in comparison, but as additions to the two mice.
Su Ping had already made plans in his heart, when he raised the spirit snakes, he could find another place to sell them to make up for the deficit in spirit stones these days.
At night, a bright moon hung high in the sky.
Under the moonlight, inside the master’s room of Rin Moon Villa.
Su Ping had exchanged all of his fish catches for fishing coins, and after removing the purification elixir that he had exchanged last night, there were now 160 coins left.
Su Ping looked at the mice and snakes that he had brought back, in two separate cages.
He smiled faintly and softly said after meeting me is your creation.
Su Ping did not rush to use the Scrap Dan, but instead took out two Imperial Beast Talismans from his storage bag.
As an Inspector Envoy who had cut off his own future, it was natural for Su Ping to be prepared for things he would use in the future.
Often times, the use of fierce beasts was undoubtedly more useful and guaranteed loyalty than a human watchman.
Especially when the cultivator was old and decrepit.
It was possible for even the most trusted people to change their hearts.
These two Imperial Beast Talismans were bought by Su Ping from his senior brother who had learned the Art of Imperial Beast.
It would allow ordinary cultivators to perform the Imperial Beast Art as well.
Of course, with regard to the kind of talisman Su Ping took out, the grade was not even considered a low grade talisman!
What was cast out was said to be a beast magic, in fact, it was at most a beast magic, and could only work on the beasts of the mortal world.
Therefore, it was cheap, and the sales target was also Su Ping, a monk who came down to the mortal world to enjoy the blessings of the world.
“Contract!”
Su Ping bit the tip of his tongue and spat out two mouthfuls of tongue heart blood on the talisman.
Immediately, these two talismans transformed into two balls of red light and disappeared onto the two mice, one white and one gray, that were shivering in the cage.
“Zee?”
The mice panicked, and after being struck by the red light, without any resistance, Su Ping’s mana imprint surfaced in their minds.
“Squeak!”
The red light dissipated in the blink of an eye, and the two mice were no longer fearful, and being able to understand human nature, they instead looked at Su Ping with a hint of curiosity.
“Smooth as it should be ah …… but think about it, at least I’m a cultivator in the middle stage of qi cultivation, if the contract of two mundane mice can fail, then how bad my luck must be!”
Su Ping felt the subtle sensation brought about by the Imperial Beast Contract, and gently spread his hands out.
Instantly, with the expenditure of thirty fishing coins, the Purification Elixir and Life Elixir appeared in the palm of his hand.
“All be good and obedient!”
“Eat the waste pills first, then drink the life elixir, and then drink the purification elixir if you really can’t stand it!”
Su Ping had the waste pills in one hand and the spirit medicine in the other, and operated his mana to control the mice.
With the live practice.
Su Ping realized that the minimum dosage of the elixir he exchanged out was one milliliter.
Elixirs that were lower than one milliliter would not work.
So that Su Ping did not have a way to perform the Infinite Subdivision Great Law on it to test out the lower limit of the elixir, so that it could not help but have some regrets.
However, Su Ping’s path of waste pills feeding out spirit beasts was indeed the right path as he had guessed it to be with the addition of spirit pills!
The white mouse was promoted to a first stage spirit mouse after eating the sixth waste dan.
The little gray mouse, on the other hand, was successfully promoted on its fourth feeding of the waste pills.
Don’t look at it as only taking single digit waste pills.
In fact without the help of a life elixir, the two mice would most likely have been poisoned to death when they took the first waste elixir.
And without a purification elixir to remove the poison of the dan to repair the defects.
Even if the mice survived the first one, they would reach their limit of advancement when they took the second ruined dan.
In the real world, mortal beasts want to rely on the waste dan to become spirit beasts …… Fear is not more difficult than winning the first prize in the lottery!
“Zee!”
Becoming a spirit beast, the two mice were more humanized and had even been able to send messages to Su Ping through the contract.
Su Ping also opened the cage, after releasing them.
The two mice transformed into residual shadows and came out of the cage, lying on Su Ping’s left and right shoulders respectively, and spontaneously operated the breathing technique, gulping up the essence of the moonlight under this night.
“Those that are not controlled are demonic beasts, and those that are controlled are spirit beasts.”
“My pair of spirit rats can spontaneously absorb moonlight …… when they are successfully promoted and spontaneously deepen their contract with me, allowing me to vaguely see what they see and hear.”
“This is a manifestation that only spirit pets with an extremely high degree of attunement have! I never imagined that contracting and cultivating them since they were mortal beasts would result in such an unexpected blessing!”
“If this kind of spirit pet were to be sold for spirit stones, it would have to be at least three figures, right?”
Su Ping was a little surprised that he had good luck with his first cultivation, obtaining two spirit rats that seemed to have not a small potential.
He also didn’t care about the mice that were self-cultivating, and his gaze went to the little snake.
Following the example of the experienced Su Ping, he took out the homemade syringe and smoothly turned the three small snakes into spirit beasts as well.
