Chapter 55

After Ye Qingxuan placed an order on the disciple token.

The spiritual medicine seeds required for his task, the alchemy furnace he exchanged for, and the materials for the talisman brush were soon sent over.

Afterward, Ye Qingxuan asked Bai Wenyang for a price catalog of various materials in the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

Now that funds are limited, Ye Qingxuan only prepared to exchange for Second Order elixirs and materials for refining Mid and Lower Grade artifacts for the time being.

After checking the prices and selling prices of the spiritual medicine shares required for refining various Second Order elixirs, Ye Qingxuan calculated and soon chose 5 types of spiritual medicines required for refining Second Order elixirs.

These 5 types of Second Order elixirs include:

Second Order Spirit-Increasing Elixir, Second Order Spirit-Melting Elixir, assisting in increasing the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Second Order Grass-Returning Elixir, recovering injuries caused by the Foundation Establishment Realm, Second Order Spirit-Washing Elixir, removing negative energy within the range of the Foundation Establishment Realm, Second Order Spirit-Returning Elixir, quickly recovering the spiritual power of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

The effect of the Second Order Spirit-Increasing Elixir is the same as the First Order Spirit-Increasing Elixir, both increasing the conversion efficiency of spiritual roots to spiritual energy, but the Second Order Spirit-Increasing Elixir has a stronger effect and is suitable for Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

The Second Order Spirit-Melting Elixir can accelerate the fusion between spiritual powers, accelerate the condensation of spiritual power by Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, and let the speed of spiritual power turning into liquid.

There are many other Second Order elixirs with the same effect, and the five types Ye Qingxuan chose are the ones with the greatest refining difficulty and the greatest profit.

The market situation of these five elixirs in the Profound Yi Tianzong now is: the spiritual medicine prices for Second Order Spirit-Increasing Elixir and Second Order Spirit-Melting Elixir are both 100 Lower Grade spirit stones per share.

The spiritual medicine for Second Order Spirit-Returning Elixir is 230 Lower Grade spirit stones per share, and the spiritual medicine for Second Order Grass-Returning Elixir is 360 Lower Grade spirit stones per share.

The spiritual medicine price for Second Order Spirit-Washing Elixir is 800 Lower Grade spirit stones per share.

In the Profound Yi Tianzong, the normal market prices for Second Order Spirit-Increasing Elixir and Second Order Spirit-Melting Elixir are both 100 Lower Grade spirit stones per pill.

Second Order Spirit-Returning Elixir is 500 Lower Grade spirit stones per pill, Second Order Grass-Returning Elixir is 800 Lower Grade spirit stones per pill, and Second Order Spirit-Washing Elixir is 2,000 Lower Grade spirit stones per pill.

In fact, this is the normal price level for elixirs that assist in improving cultivation, recovering injuries, and recovering spiritual energy.

Why was the price of the Spirit-Increasing Elixir that assists in cultivation the highest among the First Order elixirs in the Profound Yi Tianzong before?

It was just because there were countless low-order spiritual medicines in the Profound Yi Tianzong, and Qi Refining Realm disciples didn't need to go out for training, so it caused the market situation of First Order elixirs before.

But the real market price of various elixirs in the outside world is basically that the price of elixirs that assist in cultivation is the lowest, and the prices of elixirs with other effects will be generally higher.

Because elixirs that assist in cultivation only play an auxiliary role and contain very little energy, the price is naturally low.

And other elixirs such as healing, recovering spiritual energy, and removing alien energy need to contain huge energy to play the corresponding effect, so the price will naturally be higher.

This is also the reason why many cultivators in the outside world can always take auxiliary elixirs to cultivate and improve their cultivation. Otherwise, if the price of auxiliary elixirs is high, the outside world will never be as stable as it is now.

As for the low-order elixirs that directly improve cultivation, they have basically been eliminated by the Di Xuan Realm.

Unless it is those high-order elixirs that contain world origin.

Otherwise, other elixirs that directly improve cultivation, the huge energy is not refined by spiritual roots, and the spiritual power obtained by directly improving cultivation cannot be completely controlled by oneself, which greatly limits the upper limit of cultivation.

So in the current Di Xuan Realm, low-order cultivators basically use auxiliary elixirs.

Only high-order cultivators can obtain spiritual medicines containing world origin to refine elixirs that directly improve cultivation without side effects.

This is the same principle as the origin fed back when Ye Qingxuan's Cave Heaven and Blessed Land promoted, which can directly improve cultivation without side effects.

As for the acquisition price of these Second Order elixirs in the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, it will be 70% of the market price! The reason why the price difference is so large is that opening a shop in the market, the Profound Yi Tianzong will extract 20% of the transaction amount as tax.

After determining the elixirs he wants to refine, Ye Qingxuan calculated his spirit stones, totaling 43,575 Lower Grade spirit stones.

Due to being short of money, Ye Qingxuan only prepared to purchase: 20 shares of Second Order Spirit-Increasing Elixir spiritual medicine, 20 shares of Second Order Spirit-Melting Elixir spiritual medicine, 20 shares of Second Order Spirit-Returning Elixir spiritual medicine, 20 shares of Second Order Grass-Returning Elixir spiritual medicine, and 30 shares of Second Order Spirit-Washing Elixir spiritual medicine. The profit difference of Second Order Spirit-Increasing Elixir and Second Order Spirit-Melting Elixir is the highest, but refining the same furnace of elixirs, Second Order Spirit-Washing Elixir earns more spirit stones.

And the biggest effect of Second Order Spirit-Washing Elixir is to remove the demon energy of the Foundation Establishment Realm in the battlefield outside the realm, so the demand is very large, which is the main elixir for Ye Qingxuan to accumulate capital in the early stage.

Second Order elixirs have no auxiliary effect on Ye Qingxuan. He chose to purchase Second Order Spirit-Increasing Elixir and Second Order Spirit-Melting Elixir spiritual medicine just to practice and master the refining of these two elixirs.

After accumulating capital, it is time for Ye Qingxuan to enter the Third Order market.

For the remaining 3,000-plus spirit stones, Ye Qingxuan planned to purchase First and Second Order spiritual minerals and materials used for refining Mid and Lower Grade artifacts, preparing for studying artifact refining.

After determining the materials to be purchased, Ye Qingxuan sent the cargo list to Bai Wenyang through the disciple token.

Subsequently, he ordered the Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu brothers to take all his family assets, 43,575 Lower Grade spirit stones, to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion to find Bai Wenyang for trading.

Bai Wenyang, who was in the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, looked at the list sent by Ye Qingxuan, and looking at the spiritual minerals and materials required for refining Mid and Lower Grade artifacts at the end of the list, muttered:

"My Junior Brother Ye, wouldn't he also plan to study artifact refining?"

He didn't believe that his Junior Brother Ye, who had amazing alchemy talent, could also successfully enter the door of artifact refining.

Shaking his head slightly, Bai Wenyang stopped thinking and went to the warehouse to prepare goods for Ye Qingxuan.

Although it took a long time, the process was very smooth. That night, Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu brought back the purchased materials.

The next day, Ye Qingxuan began to refine Second Order Spirit-Increasing Elixir.

Because Ye Qingxuan was already in the Purple Mansion Realm, and he had completely mastered the immortal soul, and his consciousness merged into the origin of his essence, Qi, and spirit, his comprehension had risen to another level.

So he successfully succeeded in refining Second Order Spirit-Increasing Elixir for the first time.

The first furnace of Second Order Spirit-Increasing Elixir produced 3 pills, the second furnace produced 5 pills, and the third furnace produced 7 pills... Ye Qingxuan now uses an Upper Grade artifact-level alchemy furnace, which is more than enough for refining Second Order elixirs.

But the higher the elixir level, the more energy it contains, not only increasing the refining difficulty, but also the number of pills produced will gradually decrease.

Even with Ye Qingxuan's heaven-defying comprehension and control over spiritual power and spiritual sense, he could only stabilize the number of Second Order Spirit-Increasing Elixir pills at 9 pills per furnace in the end.

This number of pills produced is basically the limit of 1 share of spiritual medicine.

Afterward, Ye Qingxuan spent less than a month refining all the spiritual medicines of the five types of elixirs into elixirs.

For 20 shares of Second Order Spirit-Increasing Elixir spiritual medicine, Ye Qingxuan refined a total of 168 pills.

For 20 shares of Second Order Spirit-Melting Elixir spiritual medicine, Ye Qingxuan refined a total of 172 pills.

For 20 shares of Second Order Spirit-Returning Elixir spiritual medicine, Ye Qingxuan refined a total of 135 pills.

For 20 shares of Second Order Grass-Returning Elixir spiritual medicine, Ye Qingxuan refined a total of 132 pills.

For 30 shares of Second Order Spirit-Washing Elixir spiritual medicine, Ye Qingxuan refined a total of 175 pills.

The reason why the total number of pills of these three elixirs—Second Order Spirit-Returning Elixir, Second Order Grass-Returning Elixir, and Second Order Spirit-Washing Elixir—is so small is mainly because these elixirs contain too much energy.

For one share of Second Order Spirit-Melting Elixir and Second Order Grass-Returning Elixir spiritual medicine, Ye Qingxuan could only stabilize at 7 pills/furnace in the end.

For Second Order Spirit-Washing Elixir, Ye Qingxuan could only stabilize at 6 pills/furnace.
