The Mortal's Path to Immortality
Chapter 24 Purchasing Pills
Three days later.
The Giant Whale Gang’s Blackwater Town station received a reply from Ningyuan County.
It was written by Yu Yijian himself.
Yu Yijian knew about the pirates.
The letter emphasized the compliments of Xiong Fangming and Cao Rui on their adaptability and action capabilities.
However, due to the fierce battle between Ningyuan County and the Viper Gang, they could not be commended in person.
In fact, Yu Yijian also knew that it was probably Cao Rui’s credit, and they just kept it to themselves.
Xiong Fangming was relieved after receiving the reply, and immediately found Cao Rui to share the information.
"Brother Cao, this group of pirates has made the surrounding people suffer in just over a month."
"This time, not only did the gang not blame us, but the people around us praised our Giant Whale Gang after knowing that we eliminated the pirates, haha!"
Xiong Mingfang laughed.
Cao Rui nodded slightly. These pirates really left no way alive when they robbed.
In just one month, many merchants and fishermen have been killed by them.
Compared to them, the Giant Whale Gang and other gangs are completely good.
Cao Rui estimated that this group of pirates from Yueguo planned to make a fortune and run away.
Unexpectedly, they kicked the Giant Whale Gang, a tough guy, and were eventually caught in one fell swoop.
"Brother, do you know where to buy elixirs in Heishui Town?"
Cao Rui turned to ask about elixirs.
Cao Rui planned to use 300 taels to buy some elixirs to increase internal strength and choose the opportunity to practice Canglan Jue.
Xiong Mingfang shook his head when he heard this: "What elixirs do we have in Heishui County? We can't even find an elixir master!"
"If you want to buy elixirs for cultivation, you have to go to Luocheng recently."
"Luocheng?" Cao Rui frowned slightly.
Luocheng is the territory of the Luoshui Gang. It has been almost a year since Cao Rui left the Luoshui Gang.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be many people who can remember Cao Rui.
The Luoshui Gang has already determined that Cao Rui is a dead man.
But just in case, Cao Rui might be found to be abnormal when he appears in front of the Luoshui Gang.
The secrets in the underwater cave are related to matters of cultivation.
If he is found to be abnormal, there will be endless troubles.
If he really wants to go to Luocheng, he has to disguise himself, Cao Rui thought to himself.
Cao Rui and Xiong Mingfang agreed to go to Luoshui City.
The next morning.
Cao Rui disguised himself and took Tang Yueming to Luocheng by boat.
They set off in the morning and stopped in Luocheng at 12:00.
As the center of Luoshui area, Luocheng is still as prosperous as ever.
"Xiang, which store should we go to?" Tang Yueming asked in a low voice.
Tang Yueming, who came from a small place in Heishui Town, had never taken elixirs.
"Let's walk and see." Cao Rui said.
Cao Rui took Tang Yueming to visit the major medicine shops in Luocheng.
Most of the medicine shops did not sell cultivation elixirs.
Finally, it was determined that there were only three that sold cultivation elixirs.
One was Chunshuitang, a famous chain elixir shop in Xiaoguo, and the elixir in the store was very expensive.
One was the medicine shop of Luoshui Gang, which was cheaper, but Cao Rui temporarily put it last to avoid suspicion.
The last one is a local medicine shop called Huichuntang, which is run by a local alchemist in Luocheng.
The price of the pills sold in the shop is reasonable.
After thinking it over again and again, Cao Rui decided to go to Huichuntang to buy pills.
He took Tang Yueming to the shop of Huichuntang.
After the maid in the shop learned the purpose of Cao Rui's visit, she immediately introduced the pills enthusiastically.
"Generally speaking, there are several kinds of pills for warriors to increase their internal strength: Qi Ju Dan, Gu Yuan Dan, and Qi Zeng Wan."
"These three are the most popular in the market."
"In terms of effect, Qi Zeng Wan has the best effect, but the price is also the most expensive, ten taels of silver per bottle."
"Qi Ju Dan and Gu Yuan Dan are 4 taels of silver and 7 taels of silver per bottle respectively."
Tang Yueming smacked his lips secretly while answering, four taels of silver, enough for a family of four to eat and wear for two years.
No wonder they say that the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts. This cultivation elixir is not something that ordinary people can afford.
"Is there anything better?" Cao Rui asked.
The maid's eyes lit up, thinking that she had met a big customer.
"You are really well-informed, Wei Danshi has recently refined a new golden elixir, which is several times more effective than the Qi-enhancing pill!"
"But the price is much higher, thirty taels of silver per bottle!"
"In addition, this kind of elixir cannot be taken without more than twenty years of skill, otherwise it will cause damage to the body."
Cao Rui nodded slightly, "I don't know the effect of each elixir on me yet. Can I buy one of each first and buy it after trying the effect?"
The maid nodded: "Of course no problem."
Cao Rui also wanted to try which elixir would improve the experience elixir the most.
Cao Rui spent five taels of silver to buy four elixirs.
Then he opened a large bunk bed in a nearby inn, and with Tang Yueming as his guardian, he tried the pills in seclusion in the guest room.
Cao Rui started with the cheapest Qi Gathering Pill.
After taking the Qi Gathering Pill, the Experience Pill representing the Water Art shook slightly, and directly intercepted and absorbed the medicinal power of the Qi Gathering Pill.
The medicinal power that would have taken several hours was absorbed by the Experience Pill in a short time.
At the same time, the experience value of the Experience Pill increased.
"I have the Experience Pill in my body, and the speed of digesting the pill is so fast."
"And the medicinal power is directly absorbed by the Experience Pill and turned into experience value, without passing through the body, which means that I should not have drug resistance to the pill."
"Many martial artists take too many pills, and eventually develop drug resistance, and any pill will lose its effect."
"The experience pill is really good."
After being surprised, Cao Rui calmed down and experimented with the other three pills one by one.
Taking pills one after another, Cao Rui tried the degree of increase in experience points of several pills.
If the experience point increased by the Qi Ju Dan is 1.
Then the Gu Yuan Dan is 1.3, and the Zeng Qi Wan is 1.6.
The Jin Dan has the most exaggerated effect, directly increasing the experience point by 6.
"In this case, I might as well buy the Jin Dan directly, which has the highest cost-effectiveness."
"Although the Jin Dan is expensive, it increases the experience point by the most overall."
Determined, Cao Rui took Tang Yueming to Huichuntang again.
"Sir, have you decided which pill to buy?" The maid smiled like a flower.
Cao Rui nodded: "Give me ten bottles of Jindan."
Ten bottles of Jindan are worth three hundred taels, which is not a small amount. The maid opened her mouth slightly in surprise.
However, this is also all the savings Cao Rui has after plundering pirates.
After using it up, it will be back to the days before liberation.
"Please wait a moment, this is not the amount of business I can handle. I will inform the manager for you."
The maid turned and left. Not long after, the maid came back: "Sorry, the manager is out of business, but Master Wei Chundan just closed the door and is willing to meet you in person."
Master Wei Chundan? This should be the real owner of this medicine shop.
Cao Rui nodded slightly and followed the maid upstairs.
