Chapter 499: Excitement

"Fellow Daoist Jin, among these pill formulas of yours, nineteen are ones I don't have. I want to buy them; see how much they are worth?" Su Fan didn't waste words with the other party and said directly.

"Fellow Li Daoyou, we came here precisely to sell these spirit pills."

Seeing Su Fan's interest, Jinguang and the Purple Mansion cultivator beside him were overjoyed, especially when they heard that nineteen of them were ones the other party didn't have; they were even more excited.

"Good! Since that's the case, let's talk about the price. However, I'll state first: how is Fellow Daoist Jin selling these pill formulas? Is it an exclusive sale, or are you selling them dispersed?"

Su Fan asked again.

The market price for pill formulas was set, but generally, when selling pill formulas, there were regulations. One was an exclusive sale; once this option was chosen, one had to swear an oath not to sell them to others.

The cultivation world placed great importance on oaths.

And if it were this type, the price of the pill formula would be very high. If it were not an exclusive sale, a third-tier low-grade pill formula would only be worth two or three thousand.

Of course, for an exclusive sale, this number would be multiplied by five.

"What does Fellow Li Daoyou think?"

After Jinguang was silent for a moment, he looked at Su Fan and asked.

"To be honest, the price of these pill formulas is not low. I indeed want Fellow Daoist Jin to sell only to me, but unfortunately, I can't afford it. These nineteen pill formulas, if not sold exclusively, are worth nearly 50,000. If sold exclusively, 250,000 low-grade spirit stones, I can't swallow that."

Su Fan shook his head. He was not one of those major forces that liked to eat alone and would not tolerate the spread of pill formulas.

Because those major forces wanted to control the spirit pills of a region, naturally they wouldn't easily allow the spread of pill formulas. But he was different; he was now just a rogue Alchemist and didn't need to think so much.

Secondly, the price was too high, and he couldn't afford it. Of course, it wasn't that he couldn't afford it; 250,000 was a price that wouldn't be too hard to earn back if given a few years.

But for him, it was of no use. Even if these pill formulas didn't spread, did the forces in Huo Ling Cheng not have these spirit pills?

Not to mention anything else, those medicine shops all sold Yellow Dragon Pills and Clear Origin Pills.

So Su Fan didn't have the idea of letting the other party sell exclusively.

Su Fan's meaning was also very clear. Jinguang and the Purple Mansion cultivator were disappointed upon hearing this; clearly, they had very much hoped that Su Fan could package all these pill formulas and purchase them exclusively.

That way, they could earn a large amount of spirit stones all at once.

As for dispersed sales, both knew that giving them to other shops would make it hard to get a high price; those forces would suppress the price to the death.

They could sell them infinitely, but it wasn't that easy either; after all, the forces capable of buying these pill formulas were certainly not weak.

If they were coveted by others, then they would be in danger.

Such things were very common in the cultivation world. Jinguang knew very well that if he really took this book of alchemy insights and pill formulas and sold them everywhere,

the final result would likely be that they suffered an attack from some Golden Core cultivator and then perished.

Jinguang was a seventh-level Purple Mansion cultivator; in the cultivation world of those marginal small countries, he would inevitably live well, but in a large country like Wu State, he had to be cautious every day.

He knew the darkness of the cultivation world too well. If he dared to be ostentatious, he likely wouldn't live for a month.

He might even die right here in Huo Ling Cheng. Huo Ling Cheng indeed prohibited fighting, but if a Golden Core cultivator made a move against him, they wouldn't cause any commotion at all.

So his idea was that if he sold them exclusively to Su Fan, this Alchemist, that would be the best.

Through these days of getting along and communicating, he also knew the personality of the Alchemist before him; he was not the greedy type. And he believed that based on the other party alone, he couldn't take them down.

However, unfortunately, the other party didn't choose to purchase exclusively.

Of course, 50,000 spirit stones also made them very satisfied.

"Haha! Since Fellow Li Daoyou has said so, then 50,000 spirit stones it is. These alchemy insights will be a gift to Fellow Li Daoyou."

Jinguang also said very grandly.

"Then it's a deal."

Hearing this, Su Fan's smile became even brighter. He had obtained nineteen more pill formulas, which increased the Su Family's foundation once again.

As for these alchemy insights, for Su Fan, they weren't of too much help, but they could broaden his horizons, and incorporating them into his own alchemy system was also not bad.

"However, these 50,000 spirit stones, I can't take them all out at once. Fellow Daoist Jinguang, do you think this is feasible: can these spirit pills serve as spirit stones?"

Su Fan took out a jade box and pushed it to Jinguang's side.

Then he opened it, and a purple pill the size of a dragon's eye appeared before Jinguang's eyes, while the medicinal fragrance also permeated his mouth and nose.

"This is?"

"This... this is a Purple Cloud Pill."

Jinguang and the other Purple Mansion cultivator stared at him with wide eyes, feeling somewhat incredible, especially Jinguang, whose breathing became a bit hurried.

"That's right!"

Su Fan nodded.

Upon hearing this, the former slammed the jade box shut, and his face showed a bit of heartache; clearly, he was worried that the medicinal effect would run off.

Seeing the other party's actions, Su Fan shook his head. It was true that if pills were not sealed well, they would inevitably lose a portion of their medicinal effect.

However, a little bit of exposure didn't matter.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, you likely know the market price of the Purple Cloud Pill: 6,000 each. I have six here. I wonder how many Fellow Daoist Jin needs?"

Su Fan said with a smile.

"Six?"

The light in Jinguang's eyes grew intense. If he were to consume all six of these, he would likely only need to refine them all, and his mana could be raised to the eighth level of the Purple Mansion.

It could save him at least thirty years of time.

Of course, he also knew that he couldn't consume all six of them; after all, these pill formulas were discovered and cleared by him and the hunting team below him.

He could take the lion's share, but he couldn't take them all.

But taking three, and giving the remaining three to other Purple Mansion cultivators, was possible.

Jinguang had already determined in his heart that they would not let go of a single one of these six Purple Cloud Pills.

These Purple Cloud Pills were quite a hot seller in Huo Ling Cheng; as long as they appeared in major shops, they would be bought up instantly.

6,000 for a Purple Cloud Pill was actually already very cheap; sometimes, one could even buy them for 6,500 or even 7,000.

"We want all six of these."

After Jinguang finished speaking, the eyes of the Purple Mansion cultivator under him also lit up. He was at the sixth level of the Purple Mansion and naturally could also consume Purple Cloud Pills.

Although the Purple Cloud Pill was not a Purple Cloud Barrier-Breaking Pill that could break through his bottleneck and break through to the late stage of the Purple Mansion with one pill, it could still save him ten years of effort.

He believed that among these six Purple Cloud Pills, there would inevitably be one for him.

So he was also very happy in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 500 =====
