Immortal Road

After a long time, the waiter recovered from his surprise and asked in a skeptical tone: "Are you sure you want to sell this black iron?"

After receiving a positive reply from Ishikawa, the waiter immediately grabbed the black iron in his hand, as if he was afraid that Ishikawa would regret it.

"Twenty spiritual stones. If you still have them, I want them all." The waiter in the shop was young, but he spoke decisively without any hesitation.

Ishikawa smiled and shook his head without saying much. In fact, Ishikawa is very satisfied with the price. You must know that the black iron in the mother stone is hundreds of times that of this piece. If all of it is sold, Ishikawa will be an out-and-out rich man. But Ishikawa understands the principle of slow water and long-lasting flow.

If you sell too much material at one time, you will inevitably be noticed by some people. Looking at the harmless appearance of this young waiter, who knows what he has in mind. If it was sold at a low price, it might make him have evil intentions.

"Twenty-five spiritual stones." The waiter looked into Ishikawa's eyes and added five more.

Ishikawa continued to smile and shook his head.

"Twenty-eight, no more." The waiter said through gritted teeth.

Ishikawa still smiled and said nothing.

"Fellow Taoist, twenty-eight spiritual stones is already a lot. This is the first time that you, Taoist, come to our weapon refining workshop. I will add thirty spiritual stones to you as a way to make a friend. If you, Taoist, can find another high-ranking Our weapon refining workshop will still purchase the materials for high-level weapon refining at a high price." There was already eight points of sincerity in the waiter's words.

"High-level weapon refining materials?" When Ishikawa heard this term for the first time, he couldn't help but think about it. Ishikawa originally thought that all the weapon refining materials were the same as those in his mother stone. Unexpectedly, there were also high-level weapon refining materials. Let’s talk about the materials for refining the weapon. Thinking this, Ishikawa shook his head involuntarily.

When the waiter saw this, his expression turned gloomy: "Fellow Taoist, thirty spiritual stones is indeed a lot. We can't make a few dollars from the purchase. Since you are so knowledgeable, I will give you thirty-two spiritual stones. Absolutely." There can’t be any more, otherwise fellow Taoist go look elsewhere.”

After the waiter finished speaking, he put the piece of black iron on the table.

"Uh, thirty-two spiritual stones, let's just say thirty-two." After that, Ishikawa shook his head again and said something that almost made the waiter vomit blood: "I've been feeling uncomfortable in my neck recently, and I always like to shake my head and say Don’t be offended, my friend.”

Waiter: "..."

…………………………

After leaving this small refining workshop, Ishikawa felt refreshed. By selling this small piece of black iron, Ishikawa got two pieces of information. First, high-purity black iron is very popular, and second, it is expensive.

However, there is one thing Ishikawa still doesn't understand: what is the meaning of high-level weapon refining materials.

With this question, Ishikawa walked into the second weapon refining workshop. As soon as he entered, Ishikawa asked: "Is there any black iron?"

"Yes, how much portion would you like, sir?"

"Let me take a look first."

The waiter quickly brought out a piece of dark iron the size of an egg.

"Is this black iron?" Ishikawa looked at this egg-sized piece of so-called "black iron", which contained at least 40% impurities.

The waiter in the shop said coldly: "Isn't it Xuan Tie or Fan Tie?"

"There are too many impurities, right?" Ishikawa asked. In Ishikawa's eyes, this piece of black iron was not as valuable as those discarded magic weapons, so he didn't bother to ask about the price.

"Do you want mid-level black iron?" the waiter asked doubtfully.

"Intermediate level, could there be high level?" Ishikawa suddenly understood. It turns out that these weapon refining materials are divided into low level, middle level and high level according to their purity. They are not all like the black iron in his earth mother stone. It's 100% pure.

Thinking of this, Ishikawa immediately said: "Take out the high-level black iron and show it to me."

"You can't afford high-grade black iron." Even though the waiter said so, he still walked into the inner room. After a long time, he took out a small box. There was a piece of dark iron the size of a thumb placed inside.

Ishikawa's visual inspection showed that the impurities of this piece of black iron should be less than 10%, and it could be considered a high-grade black iron. However, compared with Ishikawa's piece of black iron, it was far behind.

"How many spirit stones?" Ishikawa asked tentatively.

"Fifty pieces of spiritual stone, no two prices." The waiter in the shop looked at Ishikawa's hand and said, Ishikawa rolled up this piece of high-grade black iron and ran away.

"So expensive?" Ishikawa said in surprise. Although he knew that the store must make a part of the price difference, this piece of high-grade black iron was still incomparable to Ishikawa's piece.

The waiter in the store said seriously: "This is high-level black iron, and the quality of the refined magical weapon is relatively high. If you use those low-level black iron, it will be difficult to successfully refine it, let alone a high-level magical weapon."

Ishikawa looked at this piece of high-level black iron and couldn't help but smile. He thought to himself: "My talent for refining is really not that good. I have failed so many times with the purest refining materials. If I want to use these so-called high-level refining materials... The number of failures is probably several times higher than now."

"It's too expensive. I don't have that many spiritual stones with me." After Ishikawa figured out the high-level weapon refining materials, he found an excuse and left quickly, not paying attention to the vicious curses of the waiter.

After visiting two stores, it took Ishikawa more than half an hour. Seeing that the sun was approaching noon, Ishikawa stepped up his speed.

Ishikawa first went to buy a gorgeous Taoist robe to pack for himself, and then went in and out of several relatively large stores. These stores were wealthy and had no special attention to Ishikawa who sold high-end black iron. In their eyes, maybe Ishikawa is a descendant of an elder from a certain sect.

They didn't care about the source of these high-level black irons. Even if they were stolen, they couldn't find them here, because the town of cultivation was protected by several sects around.

By noon, Ishikawa had more than a thousand spiritual stones on him, which was the largest fortune Bu Tian had ever obtained. And this was only one percent of the materials on his body.

And it was only black iron and refined gold. As for other higher-level refining materials, Ishikawa didn't dare to take them out.

Ishikawa sighed, and there was still an afternoon to use. Ishikawa took a thousand spiritual stones and started to buy a lot.

Finally, Ishikawa chose a store that looked relatively large. This store was called "Jubaozhai" branch.

The reason for choosing this store was that Ishikawa didn't understand elixirs and exercises at all. If he went to those small stores, he would inevitably be cheated, but in this large store, this kind of thing would not happen.

"Are there any elixirs for the fifth level of Qi training?" Ishikawa asked directly.

The waiter looked at Ishikawa and said, "Fellow Daoist, you have reached the bottleneck of the fifth level of Qi training, right? Do you want the elixir that can break through the bottleneck?"

"Bottleneck?" Ishikawa was a little confused: "I want the elixir for cultivation."

The waiter was a little puzzled, but then he smiled and said, "Generally, when a cultivator reaches the fifth level of Qi training, he will encounter a bottleneck, which is also the so-called threshold of cultivation. Once he passes this bottleneck, he can be considered a true cultivator. Don't you want the elixir that can break through the bottleneck?"

The waiter looked at Ishikawa, who was dressed extraordinary and asked for elixirs directly without asking the price, just like the children of those big families, but he didn't understand the bottleneck. He was a little puzzled, but he still talked about the bottleneck.

Ishikawa's face changed slightly, and he also understood why his cultivation became slower and slower after the fifth level of Qi training. It turned out that he encountered a bottleneck. If it were any other sect's disciples, they would have a master to teach them, and these things would naturally be clear. But Ishikawa relied on the breathing technique to cultivate from beginning to end, and he didn't understand these at all.

"Yes, bring me enough pills to break through the bottleneck. Also bring me more pills needed for the sixth level of Qi training. The training tasks given to me by my master are too strict. I don't have much time to go out to purchase."

"Okay, waiter." The waiter immediately realized that he had met a big customer. This young man in gorgeous clothes might have a big backer, and he couldn't afford to offend him.

In other words, if Ishikawa purchased a large number of pills, he could also get a lot of commissions.

Not long after, the waiter ran over with a pile of bottles and jars.

Holding a small white bottle, he introduced: "This is the pill that our alchemist of Jubaozhai specially prepared for the cultivators who broke through the bottleneck of the fifth level of Qi training. It is called Sudden Enlightenment Pill. A cultivator with three equal spiritual roots can take ten pills to break through the bottleneck." In fact, ordinary people can basically break through the bottleneck with five pills. The waiter was cautious and probably said twice as much. He was also thinking that it would be a waste if he didn't make money from the spiritual stones. Even if Ishikawa could break through the bottleneck by taking five pills of Sudden Enlightenment Pill, it only means that Ishikawa has good aptitude. Ishikawa would not bother him in his excitement of breaking through the bottleneck.

The waiter looked at Ishikawa and saw that Ishikawa's face changed slightly. He continued, "This Sudden Enlightenment Pill is only sold for ten spirit stones. What do you think, fellow Daoist?"

"Ten spirit stones?" Ishikawa didn't expect that this kind of pill would be so expensive. Just this pill that breaks through the bottleneck cost one tenth of Ishikawa's worth.

Ishikawa gritted his teeth. Anyway, spirit stones are external things. Breaking through the bottleneck is the most important thing. Besides, the materials in the Earth Mother Stone can be sold casually, which is enough to exchange for a large number of spirit stones.

"Then I'll take ten." Ishikawa said expressionlessly.

"Okay!" The waiter showed a look of surprise on his face. He didn't expect that Ishikawa would agree after just a little hesitation. It seems that he is really worth a lot of money. He quickly picked up the other pills and introduced them one by one.

With the careful explanation of the waiter, Ishikawa finally figured out which pills were taken during cultivation, which were pills to strengthen the mind, and which were pills to save life and heal injuries.

Among them, the cheapest ones were healing pills, and one spirit stone could buy ten pills, while the pills used for cultivation were more expensive, ranging from one to three spirit stones.

Ishikawa spent more than four hundred spirit stones and bought enough pills for himself for three months. This naturally made the waiter very happy. Such a big business would not come once a year. So he happily gave Ishikawa a 10% discount.

After the settlement, Ishikawa was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something more important.
