Are you addicted to fairy? Just give it a try!.

Chapter 107: I can tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal
Zhang Wei saw that the atmosphere was a bit dull, so he changed the subject and said, "I just wonder how the fairy plans to deal with this mysterious soul grass?"

Zhang Wei was thinking about buying this Xuanhun Grass.

Because he has several recipes for nourishing the soul and refining divine consciousness, all of which require this Xuanhun Grass.

However, Chi Lian said, "Mysterious Soul Grass is the main material for refining the third-level Mysterious Soul Life Pill. It just so happens that I still have some materials for the Life Pill. I can try to refine it after a while."

Zhang Wei: “Huh?”

Zhang Wei didn't react for a moment.

"Refine a third-level elixir? You?"

Zhang Wei looked at Chi Lian in shock, with a look of disbelief.

He himself is a third-rank weapon refiner, so he naturally knows how difficult it is to refine third-rank treasures, which are far superior to second-rank top-grade ones!
Even in Baicao Pavilion, there are definitely not many people who can refine third-level pills!
Chi Lian snorted and said, "Why, do you think I'm not good enough?

I have innate supernatural powers. My efficiency in refining pills is several times that of ordinary people, and it is also easier to get started. I have refined quasi-third-level elixirs before, but was unable to upgrade due to my insufficient cultivation.

Now that I have this magical pill, I will be able to break through to the middle stage of foundation building in less than half a year! Then I can try this pill again!

There are too few materials, so I can only refine five, and there is no guarantee of success."

Zhang Wei was silent.

He refined a third-grade elixir in the middle stage of foundation building, which had a much higher gold content than refining a third-grade magic weapon in the late stage of foundation building!
Who is this Chi Lian in front of me?

There are also ancient alchemy techniques and Shaoyang Pure Body Kung Fu... Could it be that she, like herself, was also lucky enough to inherit the legacy of some ancient sect?

Zhang Wei thought about it and decided to give it a try.

If it was right, then the things in his Xumi Ring would be useful! He wouldn't have to look for the alchemist in Baicao Pavilion, and he could save a lot of money!
So he said, "I do have some materials for refining the Mysterious Soul Life Pill."

Chi Lian was surprised and asked, "You have?"

Zhang Wei nodded, then took out some ingredients for the Mysterious Soul Life Pill and a soul bead from the mustard seed bag and said, "It's not much though, you try it first."

Chi Lian stared blankly at the pile of materials and the high-quality soul bead, and asked in surprise: "You trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I will fail or run away with the pill?"

Zhang Wei sneered, "We will be together for several years, even decades, in the future. You are not going to cheat me, a weapon refiner with a bright future, for such a small amount of materials, right?

Moreover, if you really succeed in refining it, I will make a fortune! With the Mysterious Soul Life Pill, I will most likely be able to condense my divine consciousness in advance, which will make it easier for me to explore the Shennong Secret Realm in the future. It only takes a few materials, and I can totally afford the gamble!"

Chi Lian didn't say anything for a long time, just kept looking at Zhang Wei.

Only after Zhang Wei was completely exhausted by Chi Lian did Chi Lian say, "I regret it. If I had known that you were so rich, I should have asked you for more consultation fees."

Zhang Wei pretended to be anxious and said, "It's no use talking about this now, we have already signed the spiritual contract!"

Seeing Zhang Wei's anxious look, Chi Lian sneered barely audibly, and then said, "Then let's discuss how to divide the pills afterwards. I'm also coveting the Mysterious Soul Life Pill. If it's successfully refined afterwards, I want 30% of it!"

Zhang Wei was surprised and asked, "30%?"

The reason Zhang Wei was surprised was not that the proportion was high, but that it was too low.

Just like when Master Zhang refines equipment for others, he has to pay both labor fees and material fees, and the same goes for alchemists.

If a cultivator wants to make elixir, he has to take out three times as much material and ask someone to start the furnace. After the finished product is obtained, any excess will belong to the alchemist.

And if the furnace accidentally explodes or the alchemy fails, all losses will be borne by the person seeking the elixir, and the alchemist will not pay a penny!

So according to the rules, every time a pill is refined, 70% of the profits go to the alchemist, and the remaining 30% belongs to the cultivator himself.

Even this depends on the alchemist's mood!

Therefore, Zhang Wei used to pay three times the price when buying elixirs from Yulong Mountain.

Of course, the same goes for Zhang Wei himself.

Chi Lian said: "I have to make some money at least. If 30% is not enough, then..."

Zhang Wei waved his hand and said, “No, no, no, that’s not what I meant, it’s just too low.”

Chi Lian said, "After all, these are the materials you provided. Although I am confident that I can refine a third-level elixir, I cannot guarantee success. If I fail, all your efforts will be wasted.

The resources needed for a third-level elixir are not only expensive but also scarce. It's not easy for you to save so much, and I can't let you suffer too much."

Zhang Wei thought about it and said, "How about this... If you can really refine it, we'll each take half!"

Chi Lian was surprised and asked, "Half for each?"

She has never seen a customer raise the price on his own initiative.

But Zhang Wei doesn't think so.

It would be unwise to just take advantage of someone asking for a low price.

It is important to distinguish between one meal being full and every meal being full.

If Chi Lian could really refine a third-grade elixir, what would the 50% harvest mean?
What’s important is people!

People who master technology!

As long as I make good friends with this person, will I ever be short of elixirs in the future?

Isn't it just giving away 50%? What's the big deal? Even if we follow the rules of the underworld, I'll still make a profit if I give away 50%!
So Zhang Wei said indifferently: "It's settled that we each get half. With this Xuanhun Shengling Pill, you can practice faster and even concentrate your divine thoughts in advance. This will also be helpful for your future alchemy."

Chi Lian stared at Zhang Wei for a while, then whispered, "Thank you, Master Zhang."

……

As a third-tier elixir, the difficulty of refining the Xuanhun Shengling Pill is incomparable to the Poqiao Elixir. It is a challenge even for Chi Lian.

So she first used the Breaking Acupoint Pill to break through the middle stage of foundation building, and then recuperated for a full six months. Only after she was sure that her energy and spirit had reached an excellent state did she start to refine it.

As a result, Zhang Wei's treatment was suspended again.

But Zhang Wei didn't care too much about it, as he hadn't yet mastered the Shaoyang Pure Body Skill.

Moreover, once the Xuanhun Shengling Pill is refined, his spiritual power will surge again, and it is not impossible for him to reach the middle stage of Purple Mansion.

In this way, he would be able to control more third-order magic weapons, and he could take advantage of this time to upgrade his remaining eight Kui Lei swords.

In this way, when you enter the Shennong Secret Realm in the future and encounter any danger, you will be more confident.

For example, Dongli Qingtong.

Zhang Wei still remembers the opponent's three transformations, which finally led to him becoming a mid-stage Purple Mansion realm!
Moreover, each transformation can restore the damage suffered previously. If you encounter this in the Shennong Secret Realm, what's the point of playing!
You can’t even run away!
Only by borrowing the power of magic weapons can we make the opponent afraid to act rashly.

Time passed day by day. After Zhang Wei refined the fifth Tiangang Kui Lei Sword, he learned a piece of news from Cong Yun who was out buying daily necessities.

"Shennong Auction?"

Cong Yun said: "Yes, Second Master, it is said that they are warming up for the Shennong Secret Realm. At that time, there will be some Shennong Orders on the auction for the casual cultivators to fight for."

"Shennong Order..."

Zhang Wei knew that this thing was made by Baicao Pavilion using secret methods. It was a certificate for cultivators to enter the Shennong Secret Realm. Without the protection of this thing, the cultivators would be in danger of death after entering the space passage in the secret realm.

After deducting the share given to each major sect, the number of Shennong Orders left is already very small, so the price of Shennong Orders has also risen sharply, otherwise Chi Lian would not have thought of selling the Poqiao Lingdan to raise funds.

Zhang Wei stood up and said, "Let's go, it's a good time to relax our body and mind."

Vanilla Auction.

As the largest auction venue in Vanilla Market and even in the entire Baicao Region, its scale and reputation are not comparable to the small auction house in Izumo Market which has only been established for forty years.

Even among the auction houses under the jurisdiction of the five major sects, the Vanilla Auction House is firmly in the forefront and is well-known in the five regions for auctioning high-level spiritual plants.

Looking at the majestic decoration, Zhang Wei couldn't help but think that a big city is worthy of being a big city, and Izumofang still has a long way to go to become like this.

At the entrance of the auction hall, there was already a bustling crowd. Thousands of Qi-refining cultivators who thought they had some worth gathered here, hoping to win something at the auction.

Especially the Shennong Order!
But most of them are destined to be runners-up.

Zhang Wei was also standing at the door. However, unlike the others, Zhang Wei did not have to wait for long before an auctioneer came to greet him respectfully. He walked into the VIP channel amid the envious and jealous eyes of the casual cultivators.

Because he did not hide his own cultivation this time.

Hide your skills when you should, and don't hide them when you shouldn't, lest others bully you because they see that you are weak.

A cultivator in the late stage of foundation building is considered to be at the top even among the masters of foundation building. He is a VIP among VIPs, so it is not surprising that he is treated like this by the Vanilla Auction House.

Without even asking Zhang Wei to speak, the auctioneer's staff took the initiative to arrange a private room with a good location for him, and the corresponding service was extremely thoughtful. If Zhang Wei had not righteously refused, there is no telling what other tricks these people would have played on him.

Alas, it is really difficult to practice the boy's skills!

There are so many temptations in the world!
Zhang Wei didn't have to wait long before the auction began.

As a bell rang, the whole place immediately became hot, and Zhang Wei's eyes were cast towards the auction table at the same time.

Under the gazes of so many people, a beautiful middle-aged woman with the cultivation base of the initial stage of foundation building walked out and said, "Dear Taoist friends, welcome to the Shennong Auction held by my Vanilla Auction House. I hope that everyone can return with satisfaction today."

After a brief opening speech, the beautiful middle-aged woman stretched out her hand and a sword-shaped magic weapon appeared in the air, attracting the attention of many cultivators.

The beautiful auctioneer said, "The first lot is the Autumn Rain Sword, a second-level mid-grade magic weapon, forged by Master Tieqiong of the Divine Weapon Hall. It can blow away hair and cut hair, and can also be used as a flying sword to help cultivators escape from danger. When it is fully activated, its speed is comparable to that of a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building. The starting price is five thousand taels of gold!"

"Five thousand five hundred taels!"

"Five thousand seven hundred taels!"

……

Zhang Wei had no interest in magic weapons. As a third-rank weapon refiner, magic weapons of this level had already gathered dust in his inventory. Only some strange magic weapons with special effects could catch his eye.

But Qiuyu Sword was obviously not among them. After testing it with his divine sense, he could find hundreds of evidences that proved its poor craftsmanship.

But even so, the Qiuyu Sword still attracted the attention of many foundation-building cultivators present, and was finally sold for nearly seven thousand taels of gold, which was almost comparable to some second-grade high-quality magic weapons of inferior quality.

However, it is estimated that they did not value the attack capability of the Qiuyu Sword, but paid such a high price because they saw that it could be used as a flying sword to carry people away.

The Shennong Secret Realm is not completely safe either.

There live many secret monsters there, some of which are quite powerful. Good treasures are often guarded by monsters.

However, due to the limitations of the space channel, the cultivators who can enter it cannot exceed the foundation-building stage, otherwise it will easily cause the space channel to collapse.

However, the space inside the secret realm is more stable. After several years of accumulation, there are many powerful monsters living here that are comparable to those in the Purple Mansion Realm!

It's just that due to the imperfect rules of the secret realm, these Purple Mansion monsters' perception of the true picture of the Dao is also incomplete, just like Zhang Wei now, but overall their strength has surpassed the foundation-building level.

If you are unlucky enough to encounter a powerful monster, but don't have enough means, then you will be delivered to your door. At this time, a flying sword that can speed up to the late stage of foundation building becomes particularly important.

After Qiuyu Sword’s simple warm-up, the items in the next few auctions seemed a bit mediocre. Most of them were elixirs or spiritual plants that were full of Baicao Domain’s characteristics.

Until a special skill arrived.

The beautiful auctioneer produced a jade slip and said, "The Secret of Puppetry, the inheritance of the ancient Puppet Immortal Sect, records the methods of refining and sacrificing seventy-three puppets, from the first-grade to the second-grade!"

"puppet?"

Zhang Wei was stunned when he heard this word.

The art of puppetry also belongs to the lineage of weapon refiners, but it has declined in this era.

Due to the influence of turbid air, many spiritual materials and spiritual mines have been polluted, and the resources are far less than in ancient times.

In this case, the resources used to create a puppet are enough to make several or even dozens of magic weapons of the same level, but the cost-effectiveness is completely inferior to that of the magic weapons.

Moreover, puppets are more troublesome to manufacture and maintain. Over time, puppets that cannot adapt to the times will fall into decline.

However, some people take a different approach. If they cannot use spiritual materials to make puppets, they use the bodies of cultivators or monsters. After the transformation, the power is no less than that of normal puppets!

These people later formed a sect.

That’s right, it’s the Corpse Demon Sect where Taoist Lu is!
Logically speaking, this kind of thing is just a foil.

But... Zhang Wei wants to buy it!

He wants to drive a Gundam!

So after the beautiful woman called out the starting price of five thousand taels of gold, Zhang Wei immediately said, "Six thousand."

He directly raised the price by one thousand and two taels of gold, which immediately shut up the other monks who were interested in this item. Some of them wanted to see who was so high-profile.

result……

Damn! A great master in the late stage of foundation building!

He immediately shut up and stopped participating in the fight, for fear of attracting the attention of this late foundation building cultivator.

What if he is narrow-minded?

The beautiful auctioneer was not angry at Zhang Wei's disruption, because in her opinion it was already good enough that the puppet inheritance could be sold, not to mention that the price was increased by one thousand taels of gold, which was a huge profit!
"Congratulations to this senior! He has inherited the puppeteer's skills!" congratulated the beautiful female auctioneer.

Then there were several more rounds of auctions, and this time there were quite a few good things, even some elixirs and spiritual plants that could nourish the soul. Zhang Wei bought them directly.

He never had too much of this good stuff.

Finally, the auction came to an end. When the final item was sold, the beautiful auctioneer said, "I'm sure all of you here have an answer to the final item of this auction. That's right, it's the Shennong Secret Realm Token that will be opened in a few years!"

As she spoke, the beautiful female auctioneer raised her hand, and three jade tokens slowly floated in the air, attracting the attention of everyone present.

The beautiful woman said, "The Shennong Token is the key to enter the Shennong Secret Realm. There are three of them on sale at this auction. Although this is not the last time they will be on sale, the closer it gets to the opening of the Shennong Secret Realm, the higher the price of the Shennong Token will be. So fellow Taoists, hurry up if you want to buy one."

The beautiful woman said seductively, and then announced the price.

"The starting price is thirty thousand taels of gold per piece! Each bid increase must not be less than one thousand taels!"

As soon as the beautiful woman finished her announcement, a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building said, "In this case, fellow Taoists, let me start by throwing out some ideas."

"I want one piece, thirty-five thousand taels!"

"You want to buy the Shennong Order for thirty-five thousand taels? I'll pay forty thousand taels!"

"Forty-three thousand..."

As soon as the beautiful woman finished her announcement, many foundation-building cultivators at the scene joined in the fight for the Shennong Order. Thanks to the prosperity of the Jin State's immortal cultivation world, there were quite a lot of foundation-building cultivators present.

The Shennong Order soon reached a high price of 50,000 taels of gold as everyone bid higher.

It’s enough to cover Zhang Wei’s medical expenses for a year!
And at this moment, Zhang Wei took action.

"Sixty thousand taels, I want two."

The auction hall was immediately quiet when Zhang Wei, a late-stage foundation-building cultivator, spoke and directly raised the price by 12,000 taels of gold.

Everyone looked towards Zhang Wei in shock.

Two pieces of 60,000 taels of gold, and 120,000 taels of gold were taken out at once? It seems that a dragon has crossed the river to the State of Jin!

Many people present were worried and for a moment they didn't know whether to increase the price or not.

Although they still had some money, the other party was obviously not short of money. Sixty thousand taels for a Shennong Order was already beyond their bottom line.

The beautiful woman asked, "Does anyone have a higher price?"

No one answered, so the beautiful woman asked twice more. After confirming that no one was raising the price, she announced, "Congratulations to this senior for winning two Shennong Orders with 120,000 taels of gold!"

After finalizing the two Shennong Orders, Zhang Wei stood up and prepared to leave. His goal had been achieved, and there was no need to stay here and waste time.

However, just as he paid the money, took the treasure he had won and was about to leave, a group of pretty female cultivators stopped him.

The female cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining who was leading the group said, "Please stay, senior!"
