I have a proficiency panel for alchemy and immortality

Chapter 3 Stall Partner

“Ten pills of Bigu Pills can fill one bottle, and fifty pills can fill five bottles, which can be sold for one spirit stone.

"After working so hard for so long, I only produced one spiritual stone."

Song Jie smiled bitterly.

After all, the Bigu Pill is a low-quality pill, so it's just this price.

Moreover, this was only his first pot. With the medicinal materials he had processed previously, he could probably make five more pots of fasting pills.

With his proficiency in making the Bigu Pill, there was almost no possibility of failure.

By the time he has refined all the medicinal materials into Bigu Pills, he can produce thirty bottles of Bigu Pills, which can be sold for six spirit stones.

Thinking of this, Song Jie became motivated to work again.

After transferring the fasting pills on the chopping board to a winnowing basket and arranging them neatly, Song Jie took the fasting pills to dry in the sun.

The refined fasting pills need to be dried in the sun for a while to dry out the moisture inside so that they can be preserved for a longer time.

After a short rest, Song Jie began to refine the second pot of fasting pills.

……

A few days later, Song Jie packed thirty bottles of fasting pills and came to Baodan Building with ease.

As a former employee of Baodan Building, Song Jie met Bao Xu very smoothly.

"Manager Bao, here are thirty bottles of Bigu Pills. Please."

Bao Xu took the fasting pill handed over by Song Jie, checked it roughly, and found no problems.

Bao Xu still trusted Song Jie's ability to refine the fasting pills.

In the circle of Qi Refining cultivators, the Bigu Pill is a must-have pill and is never out of stock.

Especially since Xinyue Market is not far from the Shiwan Mountains, many cultivators who go to the Shiwan Mountains to explore and search for treasures will bring a few bottles of fasting pills with them.

Therefore, Bao Xu did not wait until the pills were sold before settling with Song Jie. He directly took out six spirit stones according to the market price outside and handed them to Song Jie, then said:

“Xiao Jie, if you don’t find other ways later, you can still continue to consign the Bigu Pills at Baodan Building.

"It's just that Baodan Building will take 30% of the spiritual stones earned. This has always been the rule, and you should understand it."

Song Jie nodded to show his understanding.

The price of the Bigu Pill itself is not high, and most cultivators still prefer to buy the Bigu Pill in the Baodan Building, so that the quality is guaranteed and it can better resist hunger.

And not every casual cultivator can consign pills to Baodan Tower. One must pass a strict assessment and gain the trust of Baodan Tower before being able to consign pills to Baodan Tower.

As a former employee of Baodan Building, Song Jie does not need to undergo any assessment. This can be considered an invisible benefit for former employees.

However, Song Jie does not plan to put the Bigu Pills on consignment at Baodan Building for the time being. After all, 30% of the spirit stones will be deducted, which is not a small amount for Song Jie.

After exchanging a few words with Bao Xu, Song Jie said goodbye and left.

"There is still half a month left, so there is still time to refine another batch of fasting pills."

Holding the six spirit stones he had just earned, Song Jie went straight to the herbal medicine store.

The previous thirty bottles of Qigong pills took about fourteen days from purchasing the materials to completing the refining.

Bao Xu promised him a month of free consignment, and he wanted to make another batch of fasting pills before the month was over to get more spirit stones.

It’s free resources, and you’d be a fool not to take advantage of them.

After arriving at the herbal medicine store, Song Jie still bought three spirit stones worth of medicinal herbs.

In just half a month, he bought too many herbs and couldn't finish refining them.

Moreover, he also had a preliminary plan for the future, so this time he did not use all his spirit stones to buy medicinal materials for the Bigu Pill.

After returning to his residence with several large bags of medicinal herbs.

Song Jie skillfully poured the medicinal materials that needed to be powdered into a dustpan and took them outside to dry.

Then light a fire to fry sesame seeds and boil honey...

After nearly half a month of hard work, Song Jie once again refined thirty bottles of fasting pills and exchanged them for six spirit stones from Baodan Tower.

"Huh~" After walking out of Baodan Building, Song Jie couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He touched the nine spirit stones in his pocket and couldn't help but said with a bitter face: "It's too hard to earn these spirit stones."

Thinking back on how hard I worked over the past month, the amount of spirit stones I had gained only increased from five to nine.

If you deduct one dollar each for rent and daily expenses, it will increase from three dollars to nine dollars.

After working hard on refining pills for a month, he only made a net profit of six spirit stones.

"This... No one told me that the life of a cultivator is so difficult~"

If given a choice, Song Jie would definitely refuse to travel through time.

He has begun to miss the days when his fans called him the Master.

After feeling sad for a while, Song Jie calmed down and came to the central square of Xinyuefang City.

As soon as we arrived here, a burst of noise hit us.

The square was packed with people and stalls were lined up one after another.

It was still the morning market, and the sounds of hawking, communication, and bargaining were intertwined, making Song Jie's ears itchy.

Passing through the crowded crowd, Song Jie came to a stall.

He glanced at the dazzling array of weapons and protective gear on the stalls.

Bronze sword, scimitar, red tassel spear, pine hammer, cowhide whip, leather clothes, scale armor, riding boots...

These weapons and protective gear were not what Song Jie came here for. After a quick glance, he turned his gaze to the back of the stall, where a beautiful woman with a good figure was sitting.

"Fellow Daoist Song, you are here, but have you thought it through?"

The beautiful woman was not surprised to see Song Jie, as if she had known that he would come.

Song Jie looked at the beautiful woman in a red tight leather jacket and nodded, "Yes, I hope you will take care of me in the future, Brother Li."

During this month, in addition to refining fasting pills at home, Song Jie occasionally went out to look for opportunities to make a living.

After much investigation, he found that setting up a stall to sell elixirs would be more suitable for him now.

But the stall fee is a bit expensive, at least considering Song Jie's financial ability.

The cheapest stall in the Xinyuefang City Center Square costs three spirit stones a month.

Considering the output of his alchemy, if he sets up a stall once every seven days, he can only set up a stall four or five times a month.

It would be a waste to pay the rent of a stall entirely by yourself, even if it is the cheapest one.

So he thought of finding someone to share the stall with.

Then he found the beautiful woman in front of him.

He swore that he definitely didn't seek to share the apartment with the other person because he was attracted by her beauty.

This beautiful woman's name is Li Caiwei, a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining Stage and a married woman.

As far as Song Jie knows, Li Caiwei's husband is a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining Stage. As for his name, Song Jie doesn't know yet.

The weapons and protective gear on the stall were all made by Li Caiwei's husband, and Li Caiwei was specifically responsible for selling them here.

The two of them had already discussed roughly the matter of sharing the stall.

Song Jie only needs a small space to sell pills, and he sets up his stall four or five times a month.

According to the results of previous negotiations, Song Jie only needs to pay one spirit stone for the stall fee every month, and the rest will be borne by Li Caiwei.

After confirming that they would share the rent, Song Jie readily gave Li Caiwei a spirit stone as the stall fee for the next month.

After that, he chatted with the other party for a few more words, said goodbye and left, heading straight for the herbal medicine store.

Arriving at the herbal medicine store with familiarity, Song Jie first spent two spirit stones to buy the raw materials for the fasting pills.

While the owner of the pharmacy was packing the herbs, Song Jie first looked around, then smiled mysteriously, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and then stretched out his right hand to cover his mouth and whispered:

"Manager Liu, please tell me, do you sell goat weeds here?"
