God Weird Fairy

Chapter 381 0301.5 Lingbao Pill

In front of the gate of Luofu Dan Pavilion, there is a display board with an introduction to the elixirs that will be auctioned on the 29th.

From time to time, some servants of noble families would pass by the display board to see if there were any new elixirs on it. If there were, they would go back and report to the housekeeper.

Qiu Changsheng glanced at the display board.

The most eye-catching item on the display board is undoubtedly the eighteen Luofu Powders made by Luofu Dan Pavilion.

Qiu Changsheng looked at the effect description of Luofu Powder and felt that it was a bit like Wushi Powder in his previous life. However, Wushi Powder was toxic and addictive. In the later stage, it would also make people itch all over, be afraid of cold and heat, have weak limbs, and become unconscious.

Luofu Powder is refined by monks and is unlikely to have obvious toxicity.

However, all medicines are poisonous. Qiu Changsheng felt that the customers who frequently came to Luofu Dan Pavilion to buy pills must have a certain amount of toxins accumulated in their bodies.

At times like this, they need the "Nine-Turn Lingbao Pills" which has the effect of removing toxins and healing wounds to help them detoxify and maintain their health.

Qiu Changsheng turned his thoughts and stepped into Luofu Dan Pavilion.

Because there are no ready-made elixirs for display and sale, the second floor of the Dan Pavilion is the layout and structure of the auction. There are several tea rooms on the first floor to receive visitors, who are asked to leave the name of the elixir they want to reserve.

As soon as Qiu Changsheng entered the Alchemy Pavilion, a maid came up to him and asked him whether he wanted to send or bid for elixirs or make an appointment for specific elixirs.

"I'm sending you a copy of the unique elixir I made. I wonder if your alchemist is available?"

Hearing that Qiu Changsheng was here to bid for the elixir, these maids, who were just mortals, became more respectful:

"Please have some tea and wait for a while. The alchemist will be here in one cup of tea."

Although the mortal maids did not know what a cultivator was, they knew that anyone who came to send pills to bid for them was an important figure who even ordinary people from noble families had to treat with respect.

The maid led Qiu Changsheng to a tea room and began to make tea for him.

The Dan Pavilion manager sitting behind the counter used a seal to lightly press on a magic weapon.

Qiu Changsheng used his spiritual sense to sense this magic weapon and discovered that the principle of this magic weapon was similar to the stack of positioning symbols that Tao Zhiming once gave to Nan Yi. After the seal was pressed, it could indicate the location to a specific cultivator.

Then indicate that the position is false and release the specific signal notification to be true.

To put it simply, it is to remotely notify the alchemist that someone has come to work at a certain coordinate.

After all, the alchemist is also a cultivator. Given his noble status as a cultivator, he would not normally wait in the Alchemy Pavilion. He would only go to the Alchemy Pavilion to appraise the elixirs when he receives a notification.

The alchemist of Luofu Dan Pavilion is actually a senior student studying in the academy. He is about the same age as Nan Yi and is currently cultivating his Qi to achieve great success.

About three quarters of a cup of tea had passed when the alchemist in a green robe came to the alchemy pavilion. As soon as he arrived, he apologized to Qiu Changsheng:
"Luo Ziqing is late, I hope you can forgive me. I wonder what kind of elixir you are here to send?"

Qiu Changsheng took out the jade bottle of medicine and said, "This is a unique medicine I made, called 'Nine-turn Spiritual Treasure Pills', which has the effect of removing poison and healing injuries. But there are some side effects..."

Qiu Changsheng emphasized his tone and informed the owner in detail about the side effects of the "Nine-Turn Spiritual Treasure Pill", and asked them to introduce it fairly during the auction.

When Luo Ziqing heard this, his expression immediately became strange.

Although Qiu Changsheng did not say it explicitly, he could clearly see that Qiu Changsheng's bidding for the "Nine-Turn Spiritual Treasure Pill" was actually under the guise of its ability to remove toxins and heal injuries, and in turn relied on the side effects to make money.

Luo Ziqing took the jade bottle, took out a "Nine-transformation Spiritual Treasure Pill" and looked at it for a long time. He hesitated and said, "Daoyou, the pills sold to mortals are usually magical medicines. I'm afraid that mortals can't bear your strange pill."

Qiu Changsheng said confidently: "Don't worry, this pill is for removing poison and healing wounds. Even ordinary people can take it, and it won't be too strong." Luo Ziqing smiled awkwardly: "If it is a magic medicine, I am not afraid. But the Guidan has side effects. I dare not make a rash judgment on this risk based on the pill appraisal alone."

To identify elixir means to observe and identify it.

As a Changqing student, Luo Ziqing is also studying Dandao pharmacology, so it is not difficult for him to identify the efficacy of the magic medicine.

But the strange pill, apart from its own efficacy, also has side effects that bring negative effects.

As for the side effects, it is difficult to draw a conclusion based on just scraping some medicine powder and observing it.

Luo Ziqing carefully sensed the "Nine-turn Spiritual Treasure Pill" and suspected that Qiu Changsheng had deliberately created such a side effect. Because he could vaguely see that Bauhinia fruit was added when the pill was refined.

Bauhinia fruit has neither the effect of removing toxins nor stopping bleeding. Instead, it has the effect of boosting spirits and stimulating the body and mind, which is exactly consistent with the side effects of this pill.

Qiu Changsheng said: "How about this, fellow Taoist, you take a "Nine-transformation Spiritual Treasure Pill" directly and experience it yourself, and you will know that this pill can be taken directly by mortals."

"Ah?" Luo Ziqing was a little confused, "Daoyou, the side effects of this pill are not very good..."

The effects of other pills are fine, but how can he experience the excitement period of the side effects?

As a cultivator, Luo Ziqing could easily neutralize the effects of ordinary medicines prescribed by mortals. However, the "Nine-turn Spiritual Treasure Pill" was a yellow-level strange pill, and Luo Ziqing was only at the great stage of cultivating qi, so if he really took it, it would be difficult for him to easily neutralize the effects of the strange pill.

Simply put, once Luo Ziqing took the "Nine-Turn Spiritual Treasure Pill", he would not be able to control his own behavior.

However, Qiu Changsheng could see that Luo Ziqing had lost his yang energy long ago and was a man of temperament, and several maids in the pavilion had his aura.

As long as Luo Ziqing wanted to, it was not impossible for him to try taking the elixir.

However, in this case, being able to experience it does not mean being willing to experience it. It ultimately depends on whether the other party is willing.

Therefore, Qiu Changsheng smiled and said: "If you have any concerns, you can contact my brother Luo Zixi and ask him to taste the pill for a try."

Luo Zixi was Su Guang's good friend, and had previously followed Su Guang to seek an explanation from Lin Ye. He was older than Luo Ziqing, and had already entered the realm of transcendence. Even if he was affected by the "Nine-Transformation Spiritual Treasure Pill", he could use his magic power to neutralize the drug's power.

Hearing this, Luo Ziqing immediately shook his head: "It's just a small matter, no need to bother you, brother."

If he really wanted to call Luo Zixi over, Luo Ziqing would be too embarrassed to ask him to taste the pill and test its effects.

"How about this, I'll register it for you first. As for the specific effects of the pill, I'll try it out tonight and then make a note for you. Anyway, the auction will be held the day after tomorrow, so there's still time to announce it tomorrow."

Luo Ziqing finally decided that he would take on the responsibility of testing the elixir.

"I just don't know how to set the reserve price for your 'Nine Transformations Spiritual Treasure Pill'?"

Qiu Changsheng thought for a moment, pointed at the jade bottle with a "Nine-transformation Spiritual Treasure Pill" that Luo Ziqing had taken out, and said, "This bottle of pills can be distributed, and the auction reserve price is set at five silvers per pill. If the average price of the nine pills reaches ten silvers, the next six bottles will be sold as a bottle, and the auction reserve price will be set at one gold; if the average price does not reach ten silvers, the next six bottles will be abandoned."

A total of seven bottles were refined, each bottle containing ten pills, totaling seventy pills of "Nine-Transformation Spiritual Treasure Pills"; one was used for Luo Ziqing to test the pill, and sixty-nine pills were available for sale.

He only wanted to collect gold with this pill, but a new product was on the market, and even if Luo Ziqing proved the efficacy of the pill, it might not be convincing. Some people might buy a few pills to try, but if a whole bottle was sold, it would still be sold at a reserve price of gold, so it might fail to sell.

However, Qiu Changsheng had a plan in mind.

If the market lacks confidence and it is difficult to reach his expected selling price, and there is a risk of failure to sell, he will simply skip the auction. At worst, he will only sell nine pills this time, and wait for the buyers to experience the efficacy in person, and then see if the buyers who are interested in repurchasing will increase the price next time.
