Chapter 838

An hour later, the auction ended.

After the auction ended, the trading gathering did not take place immediately.

According to the rules of the chamber of commerce, it was held early the next morning.

He Pingsheng teleported and appeared directly on Tripod Furnace Street.

Sure enough, just as Elder Dong said, Tripod Furnace Street was very lively, with cultivators strolling everywhere.

Along both sides of the main street, there were hundreds of shops distributed.

In total, there were about two hundred or so.

He Pingsheng's expression turned slightly bitter: Good heavens, with such intense competition, opening a shop is really not easy.

No way!

Who told him this was the Lei Huang Continent? On the Lei Huang Continent, there were an unusually large number of alchemists, and not only were there many, but they were also all very formidable.

The key was that for the demand for medicinal pills, the largest quantity was for low-tier medicinal pills, such as Spirit-Gathering Pills, Qi-Gathering Pills, Yuan-Gathering Pills, and the like.

The higher you go, the fewer the cultivators, and since some cultivators themselves know how to refine alchemy, this market is even harder to open up.

And for medicinal pills like Spirit-Gathering Pills and Yuan-Gathering Pills, because the level is relatively low, they earn less.

In a word, there isn't much profit to be made.

That's why the competition seems particularly intense.

This is also the reason why no one was willing to bid to take over the shops on Tripod Furnace Street.

He Pingsheng didn't go to his own shop immediately, but walked into one of them casually.

"Greetings, Senior!" A sweet and cute-looking girl walked out and bowed to He Pingsheng: "May I ask, Senior, what medicinal pills do you want?"

He Pingsheng curled his lip again: Good heavens, hiring such beautiful girls to stand at the front to attract customers, competition is truly everywhere.

"Hmm!" He Pingsheng nodded: "What level of medicinal pills can you refine?"

The girl's face turned red: "Senior, you're joking; this junior cannot refine alchemy. The one who can refine alchemy is our shop owner, and the shop owner can refine medicinal pills up to the fifth tier!"

Fifth tier?

He Pingsheng smiled and asked: "I have materials and want to refine a batch of fifth-tier God-Breaking Pills; what quality can be achieved?"

God-Breaking Pills are a type of medicinal pill necessary for entering the Soul Transformation stage from the Nascent Soul stage.

After swallowing it, one can enter the Soul Transformation stage.

This thing is similar to 【Foundation Establishment Pill】, 【Origin-Gathering Pill】, and 【Breaking-Transformation Pill】.

It's just a higher level!

The woman said: "Quality cannot be guaranteed; if you're lucky, perhaps mid-tier will appear, but we have a bottom-line system: as long as you give me four portions of materials, we can guarantee at least one batch of low-tier God-Breaking Pills..."

"Senior, this price is very fair!"

He Pingsheng smiled.

The rules in the Cultivation World and the Spirit Realm have always been five portions of materials in exchange for one batch of medicinal pills.

Now, coming here, they don't want five portions, only four.

Tsk, tsk, tsk...

I have to say, it's very competitive!

"Fine!" He Pingsheng nodded: "However, I still want to go elsewhere and take a look!"

"Senior, don't!" The woman walked to He Pingsheng's side, her face flushed red, and said: "Senior, this price is already very good; if you go elsewhere, it might not necessarily be lower than ours. How about this, if Senior can refine alchemy in our shop, we will give you some extra benefits!"

"This slave... this slave can be a furnace cauldron for you, Master, for two days!"

After saying this, the woman's face turned even redder.

Damn...

He Pingsheng almost cursed: "This... really, there's no need!"

He Pingsheng hurried away.

Just after wandering through the first shop, He Pingsheng deeply felt the competitive pressure here.

There were too many alchemy shops, and the various discounts were truly varied.

He Pingsheng didn't continue wandering, but came directly to the entrance of his own shop.

There was still an array outside this shop.

He took out the array key obtained at the auction and poked it hard at the array light film.

Hum, hum, hum...

Golden light instantly rippled out.

The array was opened.

What was presented before He Pingsheng was a small shop that looked quite simple and unadorned.

With a wave of his hand, the door of the small shop was opened, and it was pitch black inside!

Hanging above the door of the small shop was a dark green stone slab, and on the stone slab were written a few golden characters: True Fire Alchemy Shop!

It was probably left behind by the previous alchemy shop.

They left in a hurry, and didn't even bother to take down the sign.

"Greetings, Senior!" Just as He Pingsheng stood at the door, a woman who still retained her charm walked to He Pingsheng's side and bowed to him.

"Hmm!" He Pingsheng didn't think this person was a customer, so he nodded indifferently: "What is the matter?"

"Hehehe..." The woman smiled and looked very kind: "This True Fire Alchemy Shop closed down some time ago because of poor management, and the shopkeeper and alchemist also left, saying that it's hard to make a living here and they were going to cross the Evil Sea to go to another continent!"

"Are you new here?"

"Did you take over this shop?"

The woman looked at He Pingsheng curiously.

He Pingsheng nodded: "Yes, I took it over; from now on, this shop is mine!"

"May I ask who you are?"

The woman said: "This concubine is the shopkeeper of the 【Heavenly River Alchemy Shop】 next door... my man is an alchemist!"

"Oh my... Senior, do you also plan to open an alchemy shop?"

"I think, you'd better not open an alchemy shop; perhaps opening a shop specifically selling talismans and magic treasures wouldn't be bad!"

"This alchemy shop doesn't earn any benefits now, and it also delays cultivation!"

"Of course, I am giving you sincere advice; whether to listen or not is entirely up to Senior!"

He Pingsheng smiled.

He could feel the difficulties of the shop next door; business wasn't very good to begin with, and now that another one was opening next door, the competitive pressure would be even greater, right?

"Sorry!" He Pingsheng shook his head: "This seat doesn't know how to do anything else, only alchemy, so now I can only open an alchemy shop!"

While speaking, he waved his hand, wiped off the golden characters on the dark blue green-gold stone above his head, then took out a talisman brush used for drawing talismans, dipped it in some golden demon clan essence blood, and with a few 'swish-swish' strokes, wrote the new shop name on the green-gold stone: Tai Xu Alchemy Shop.

"Fine!" The woman gave a bitter smile and said: "Then in the future, we must help each other; if anyone is short of medicinal pills, we can exchange what we have to keep the customers!"

He Pingsheng said: "That's good, I have no problem!"

"Then I won't disturb you anymore!" After the woman finished speaking, she left directly.

He Pingsheng pushed open the door.

He threw a few spirit stones into the pitch-black house, and instantly there was light in the house.

Boom...

The next moment, Seeing Feng Wu was thrown out by him from the magic treasure space.

"Master!" Seeing Feng Wu looked at the environment before him, stunned; he thought He Pingsheng had brought him out because he had encountered danger again!

He Pingsheng said: "This seat took over a shop, so it can be considered having a place to stand!"

"You tidy up the shop, and then set up these medicinal pills for me first!"

He Pingsheng took out some medicinal pills he didn't usually use.

And some low-level medicinal pills.

Although the level wasn't high, the quality was shockingly high.

Either high-tier or top-tier.
