I just want to torture you to death, don't force me to beat you to death

Qin Shan looked anxious.

Chu Ning stopped and looked at the other party coldly.

"Can Fellow Daoist Chu go to the backyard..."

"No, if you want to say it, just say it here."

Being interrupted by Chu Ning, Qin Shan felt helpless and could only tell the clerk: "Close the door, it's closed today."

Seeing Chu Ning's alert look, Qin Shan quickly explained: "Fellow Daoist Chu, you don't have to be so careful. This is a city. If you ask about the rules of this sect, no one dares to be presumptuous."

When the waiter closed the door, Chu Ning said angrily: "Hurry up, I have something else to do."

"Fellow Daoist Chu, to be honest, I have asked a second-grade alchemist to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, and it will be successfully refined in three months. However, my energy and blood are declining now. Even if I take the Foundation Establishment Pill, I will not be able to make it." I'm afraid the probability of foundation building is not high..."

Qin Shan saw that Chu Ning was really impatient, so he stopped talking and told the whole story.

It turns out that as early as five years ago, Qin Shan had collected the medicinal materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, and had given the alchemist enough hard work.

I originally thought that I would be able to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill in a year at most.

Unexpectedly, the alchemist never took the time to refine it for him, even if he wanted to find another alchemist.

Because according to the rules, when changing to an alchemist, firstly, the spiritual stone will not be refunded, and secondly, only half of the materials will be refunded.

As for whether some people would think that the alchemist would take advantage of this situation to deliberately drag the person seeking the alchemy to death, this idea did not exist.

First of all, those who can refine the Foundation Establishment Pill are second-grade alchemists. Although the materials of the Foundation Establishment Pill are precious, they are not enough for the other party to destroy their signature.

But many times there is really not enough time. When you encounter some strong people with background or higher bids who come to ask for elixirs, you can only postpone the people in front of you.

ten years.

The Foundation Establishment Pill will be given within ten years, which is a reasonable and acceptable time frame.

But this result made Qin Shan despair. He came to the door only after he found out that the alchemist was free and there were not many people waiting in line.

But what he didn't expect was a turn of events. Not long ago, the apprentice of the second-grade alchemist found him and told him that the foundation-building pill had begun to be refined and would be ready in three months.

The second-grade alchemist will notify you in advance, not out of any good intentions, but because he successfully refines the foundation-building pill normally, and anyone who asks for the pill will prepare a generous gift to express his gratitude.

This is to tell Qin Shan in advance so that he can prepare generous gifts.

After receiving this news, Qin Shan was a little confused. His longevity had declined rapidly in the past five years. He had given up the idea of ​​building a foundation. He was already ready to find a strong person in the late stage of Qi Condensation who wanted to build a foundation. The quota for the Foundation Establishment Pill is transferred to the other party, leaving a sum of spiritual stones for future generations.

After he lost his heart to build the foundation, he told him that the foundation building pill was about to be refined. Isn't this a joke?

A few years ago, he said that he would also put some effort into collecting medicinal materials that can extend life.

However, this type of life extension usually only appears at auctions. It is not available at every auction. If you don't prepare in advance, you won't be able to grab it.

He just thought that the other party was a second-grade alchemist. Not to mention his connections and background, he was a strong foundation builder. He was not someone he could provoke, and he could only be angry but dare not speak out.

This news kept Qin Shan awake for several days. After thinking about it, he went to Happy Pavilion.

At that time, he had the intention of treating a dead horse as a living doctor, and just asked, because he knew that the people selling life essence in Happy Pavilion were usually in the middle stage of Qi Condensation.

The longevity of a monk in the middle stage of Qi Condensation, even if it is a life span of ten or twenty years, after he absorbs it, it will only last more than one year at most, which does not help.

Moreover, there are various restrictions on the absorption of this longevity ball. Not only can it be absorbed up to three times in a lifetime, but it can only absorb one longevity ball at a time. It cannot be absorbed again within one year after absorption.

But what Qin Shan didn't expect was that the shopkeeper of Happy Pavilion told him that a monk in the late stage of Qi Condensation had sold longevity yuan.

This gave him hope.

If he absorbs the ten years of life of a monk in the late stage of Qi Condensation, he can almost extend his life by three years.

In this way, the possibility of him attacking the foundation will be greatly increased.

After listening to Qin Shan's story, Chu Ning was most shocked by the status of the alchemist.

Damn it, is it that high?

After collecting materials and money, can I still refining as much time as I want?

It seemed that he was right to take the path of an alchemist.

For Chu Ning, ten years of life was nothing, but he had to show anger.

Since Qin Shan can find him, then maybe others who need longevity will also find him.

Although you can sell it by yourself, problems can easily arise if you sell too much.

The average lifespan of a late-stage Qi Condensation monk is more than 120 years old. A more powerful person can live to 150 years old. If he lives longer, he will have to take some life-extending pills or medicinal materials, but it will not exceed two hundred years.

After selling ten-year life yuan several times in a row, people don't doubt that they are evil.

As for selling it somewhere else, that wouldn't work either. He had asked Luo Ji, the shopkeeper of Happy Pavilion.

The birthplace of this longevity-absorbing stone is in the Wenjin Peak Mountains. It does not exist outside, and the Wenjin Sect does not allow it to spread outside.

In addition, this thing is only useful for people below the foundation building stage. To be honest, it has some market among casual cultivators.

If there are strong foundation-building experts in the family, there is no need for this thing at all. If the elders are really talented, they will naturally train them with all their strength, enough to break through to foundation-building before their longevity is exhausted.

Sold up to three times.

This is the number of times Chu Ning has set for himself.

In this case, every sale must maximize profits. It is obvious that the conditions given by Qin Shan did not reach his psychological bottom line.

"Even so, it is your business and has nothing to do with me. Although Chu is only sixty this year, who would say goodbye because he has a long life."

Chu Ning turned around and saw that the bait had been released. Now it seemed that Qinshan Mountain was no longer on track.

Telling him that he is sixty years old this year means telling him clearly that selling ten years of life is not out of the question.

After all, after selling it for ten years, it still has a lifespan of fifty years.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, I will donate this shop to you. In Inner City, the lease term of my shop is still twenty years, and these medicinal materials are worth tens of thousands of spiritual stones."

"Besides that, there are also the notes of the second-grade alchemist. If the foundation building is successful, I will also express my gratitude."

Chu Ning was moved.

Not to mention that the spiritual energy in this city is several times that of where he lives now, the most important thing is the spiritual stone.

With the spirit stone, he can teleport back and forth between Liang Dynasty and the outside world.

The price given by Qinshan is indeed a much higher premium.

A life span of one year is five hundred spirit stones, and a life span of ten years is normally around seven or eight thousand spirit stones. This is because the more longevity balls, the higher the unit price is, but it will not exceed ten thousand.

It seems that Qin Shan really gave it a try.

"Since Fellow Daoist Qin is so sincere, Chu will grant Fellow Daoist Qin's wish."

Not long after, Chu Ning and Qin Shan went to the Wenjin City Management Office in the inner city to handle the transfer of the store title, and then went to Happy Pavilion.

Su Qing saw Chu Ning again, with a look of surprise on her pretty face, but because Luo Ji personally received her, she stood aside and did not dare to speak.

Half an hour later, Chu Ning walked out of Happy Pavilion with a haggard look on his face and walked towards the shop that now belonged to him.

The backyard of this shop in Qinshan can be lived in. Chu Ning plans to move here, but the original house can only be wasted.

According to the rules of the inner city, each person can only live in one place. Living here means giving up another house on his own initiative.

If there are descendants of Taoist monks or something, they can be arranged to other places, but the guys in charge of renting out the houses will investigate, and if they are found to have cheated, they will be kicked out of the inner city.

Chu Ning spent half an hour counting the medicinal materials in the entire store. Qin Shan did not lie. The total value of these medicinal materials was about two thousand spiritual coins.

However, all the working capital of the store was taken away by Qin Shan, and the waiter also left with him.

"Forget it, it would be nice to have these medicinal materials and a shop. All I need to do is collect the spiritual stones that can be used to set up the teleportation array. I don't really expect the shop to make a profit for the time being."

After counting the medicinal materials, Chu Ning locked the shop and activated the formation after going out.

Every shop in Fangshi has a formation. The formation is arranged by the Wen Jin Sect. If a non-foundation-building expert breaks in, the light of the formation will be triggered. The disciples of the Wen Jin Sect who are responsible for patrolling public security will find out, so there is no need to worry. Will be stolen.

Returning to his house, Chu Ning dug out the flying sword and put it in his arms, then packed up a few pieces of clothing, carried the alchemy furnace, and prepared to leave.

But as soon as she got out of the hospital, someone was standing there waiting for her again.

"Su Qing?"

Wearing a yellow skirt, this is Su Yue, not Su Qing.

Chu Ning was a little curious. Could it be that Su Qing had the same thoughts as Su Yue?

If this is the case, double happiness does not seem to be unacceptable.

"Senior Chu, I just want to tell you a piece of news. I... I have been in Happy Pavilion for three years. Anyone who comes to Happy Pavilion to sell longevity yuan gets deeply involved in the end and almost loses all his longevity yuan." ”

Unexpectedly, Su Qing came to remind him, Chu Ning was a little surprised, and he could think of the reason for what Su Qing said.

The money came in too quickly.

The spiritual stone obtained by selling longevity is fast, and once you have it, you will get it a second time, and whether you are an ordinary person or a monk, one thing is the same.

The faster you get money, the faster you spend it.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

I am used to spending money lavishly, so now that I have no money, I want to continue selling longevity yuan.

Dependence will even develop later on. When something happens and you need money, you will think of selling longevity yuan instead of earning it through other means.

I will comfort myself in my heart that this is the last time, but in fact there are countless last times.

"Thank you, Miss Su, for reminding me. This bottle of Qi Condensing Pill is a token of my gratitude."

Chu Ning took out a bottle of Qi Condensing Pill. This Qi Condensing Pill was not refined by him, but was placed in Qinshan's shop, and he put it on his body.

"This...this is no longer necessary."

A bottle of Qi Condensing Pill costs ten spirit stones. For a monk like Su Qing, who is in the early stage of Qi Condensation, her monthly salary as a clerk at Happy Pavilion only costs eight spirit stones.

"This Qi Condensing Pill is of no use to me, and I'm also moving. Just treat it as a meeting gift for my neighbors."

After hearing what Chu Ning said, Su Qing accepted it.

"Thank you, Senior Chu."

"Practice hard."

Chu Ning smiled, encouraged Su Qing, and left. Not long after Chu Ning disappeared from the area, Su Yue appeared in a green skirt.

"Qi Condensing Pill! Where did you get it, sister? Why is this door open? Senior Chu couldn't have given it to you, right?"

Su Yue's eyes were bulging, but her words were a little sour.

"Well, Senior Chu moved out and happened to meet me, so he gave me a bottle of Qi Condensing Pill."

Su Qing did not tell her sister about Chu Ning's sale of longevity yuan, because she knew her sister's temperament. If she told her sister, it would not take long for the surrounding monks to know about it.

"It's for you?"

Su Yue pouted, and gave her a bottle of Qi Condensing Pill when she met her sister, but she didn't even say a word to her when they met her intentionally that day.

Could it be that Senior Chu has a crush on his sister?

But I look exactly the same as my sister, so why does Senior Chu ignore me?

"Xiaoyue, what are you thinking about?"

"Ah, no...it's nothing."

…

…

Refining elixirs takes no time, just look back on several spring and autumn periods.

Chuning nine-year calendar.

Turn on the stove.

Looking at the ten green Qi Condensing Pills in the alchemy furnace, Chu Ning had a smile on his face.

It was not in vain that he had devoted more than half a year to refining the pill, and with the investment of countless medicinal materials, he was finally able to refine the Qi Condensing Pill, and it was of top quality.

Some people may find it expensive if a top-grade Qi Condensing Pill sells for twenty spirit stones, but it is easy to sell for fifteen spirit stones.

It's not that there's not much difference between high-grade Qi Condensing Pills and ordinary Qi-Condensing Pills, it's just that low-level monks don't have that many spiritual stones, so they would rather use inferior ones.

Every high-quality elixir is prepared for those who have money or are in urgent need.

"Now I can be considered a first-grade alchemist, but the learning cost is indeed a bit high."

Chu Ning calculated the value of the medicinal materials consumed in the past six months, and found that it was worth more than a thousand spiritual stones.

This means that if he only relies on selling Qi Condensing Pills, it will take him five years to make back the money. After all, refining pills also requires material cost and time.

A first-level alchemist can also refine other elixirs, but each elixir recipe requires hundreds of spirit stones. Chu Ning now only has more than a thousand spirit stones left in her body.

These spiritual stones were used by him to set up the teleportation array.

"Let's go back first. It's been a year since we came out, and I don't know how the teacher and the others are doing."

Chu Ning chose to close down. In fact, the store had no medicinal materials to sell. He hadn't purchased any goods in the past year, and fewer and fewer customers came to the door.

After closing the door, Chu Ning left Fangshi and headed towards the outer city.

Compared to the time it took nearly a month, it only took seven days to return to the depths of the mountains.

He was on his way all the way, but with his advanced stage of Qi Condensation, he didn't encounter anyone who blocked the way.

Back in the cave, Chu Ning embedded the spirit stone in the teleportation array. The light flashed and the teleportation array slowly started.

"Liang Chao, I'm back."

Chu Ning's lips curled up. Eight years after he came to this world, he already regarded Liang Chao as his hometown.

Just like a wanderer who works abroad, he will always be a little excited when he returns to his hometown.
