World version update

Chapter 38 Cross-version reselling
South of Wushan, in the Yushan Market, 300 miles away from the Qinggu Market.

Lu Yan walked out of a shop. The magic tools, elixirs, talismans and spiritual materials that he had obtained from the storage bags of seven independent cultivators had all been exchanged for spiritual stones.

Including the spirit stones that were already in the storage bags, the combined assets of the two late Qi training cultivators and five middle Qi training cultivators totaled 1,100 spirit stones, filling up more than half of the low-level storage bags.

You have to know that if an ordinary Qi-cultivating cultivator does not have any special skills, he can only go into the mountains to collect elixirs and hunt monsters. Not only will he take risks in the process, but most of his gains will be consumed just on purchasing life-saving talismans and daily practice.

Even if one has reached the late stage of Qi training, there may not be many spirit stones left on the body.

Being able to plunder 1,100 spirit stones from seven cultivators is enough to show how wealthy these cultivators who make a living by looting are.

Considering that these seven cultivators should have a certain reputation in Qinggu Market, and there is a high probability that someone would recognize the magic weapons they use, Lu Yan chose to take a detour to Yushan Market to sell these things.

Although the price was lowered during the process, Lu Yan just picked it up and didn't bother with the details.

“No wonder the male protagonists in those novels like to conduct sting operations. Not only do they feel no psychological burden when killing these looting casual cultivators, but they are also extremely wealthy.

The only thing to worry about is the strength. Don’t let the fishing enforcement be dragged into the water by the fish.”

Feeling emotional in his heart, Lu Yan walked towards an alchemy shop in the market town.

There are not many people in the alchemy workshop, and elixirs are considered a luxury for most casual cultivators.

Even if low-level independent cultivators buy medicinal pills, most of them are low-level pills for healing injuries and restoring mana, rather than official high-grade elixirs.

As soon as Lu Yan entered the door, a waiter from the alchemy shop came to greet him. His cultivation level was even higher than Lu Yan, who was at the fourth level of Qi training.

However, the alchemy shop clerk did not look down on Lu Yan because of his low cultivation level, but asked seriously:
"What would the customer like to buy?"

Lu Yan looked around the environment. The faint fragrance in the alchemy workshop made people feel relaxed.

"Are there any pills that can increase the speed of cultivation, or assist in breaking through the realm?"

“Is this customer taking it for himself or buying it for someone else?”

"What's the difference here?" Lu Yan asked curiously.

"Different levels of cultivation require different elixirs."

The clerk in the alchemy shop took out three jade bottles from the counter.

"We have three kinds of elixirs suitable for distinguished guests: Qi Gathering Powder, Jade Spirit Pill, and Soul-Enriching Pill."

“Qi Gathering Powder is not of high quality and is suitable for cultivators in the early stages of Qi training.

The Jade Spirit Pill is a first-grade, low-quality spiritual pill, suitable for consumption in the middle stage of Qi training. It can increase the speed of refining mana. Although it can also be taken in the early stages of Qi training, it will waste a lot of medicinal properties.

The last one, the Soul-Enriching Pill, is a first-class high-grade elixir that can assist in breaking through realms. However, it can only be used by cultivators below the late stage of Qi training, and its price is naturally the most expensive. "

As he spoke, the waiter took out the pills from the jade bottle for Lu Yan to check.

The Yulingdandan is as its name suggests, round and emerald green all over, just like jade.

Lu Yan recognized it at a glance. The Jade Spirit Pill was the same pill he had taken in the previous apocalyptic version.

The three Jade Spirit Pills plus the apocalyptic version of spiritual energy allowed him to successfully break through from the first level of Qi training to the fourth level.

The only thing that puzzled Lu Yan was that he took the Jade Spirit Pill at the first level of Qi training and did not feel any sign of wastage of the medicinal power.

"Could it be related to my breathing of moonlight spiritual energy?"

Without thinking too much, Lu Yan asked directly:
"How much do the Jade Spirit Pill and the Soul-Enriching Pill cost?"

Seeing that Lu Yan was interested in buying, the clerk said with joy: "The price of the Jade Spirit Pill is seven spirit stones, and the price of the Yunling Pill, a realm-breaking elixir, is 180 spirit stones."

Lu Yan was shocked.

Not to mention the Jade Spirit Pill, which is just a pill to assist in cultivation and costs seven spirit stones each.

Even though Lu Yan had such good effects from taking the elixir before, that was because the elixir was suitable for the middle stage of Qi training. Lu Yan was only in the initial stage of Qi training before so the effect was naturally strong.

If one really wants to assist in spiritual practice, one elixir every three days would cost seventy spirit stones a month. Even disciples from large sects probably cannot afford this price.

The Soul-Enriching Pill can only assist in breaking through the bottleneck of the middle stage of Qi training, which requires one hundred and eighty spirit stones. The combined wealth of the several middle-stage Qi training cultivators killed by Lu Yan does not include that much.

Although the elixir was expensive, Lu Yan still decided to buy five bottles of Jade Spirit Pills, totaling 25 pills, and one Yunling Pill to assist in breaking through the realm.

In addition, there is a bottle of beauty pill and a bottle of rejuvenation pill.

The former is a weakened version of the second-level anti-aging pill, which can beautify and nourish the skin and is most favored by female practitioners of Qigong.

The latter rejuvenation pill is a weakened version of the longevity pill made by the alchemist. Although it cannot extend lifespan, it can provide vitality to the aging body and create the illusion of extending lifespan.

These two bottles of pills are naturally not for Lu Yan to take himself, but for the next version update.

The gifts given in the previous doomsday version made Lu Yan realize the differences between different versions. Alchemy can be considered a specialty of the fairy-tale version. These things might be able to be exchanged for some good things in other versions.

In addition, Lu Yan also plans to buy a batch of fairy-tale storage bags before the version is updated to fool people with other versions.

At the same time, Lu Yan was also very curious. What would these things from the Xianxia version look like if they were put into other versions and then updated?

The batch of elixirs purchased by Lu Yan was worth a total of four hundred spirit stones. Such a large purchase even attracted the owner of the alchemy shop to receive him in person.

As a discount, the shopkeeper also gave Lu Yan a bottle of Qi and Blood Pills worth ten spirit stones.

After walking out of the Danfang, Lu Yan went straight away and left the Yushan Market.

They flew for dozens of miles, and Lu Yan even stopped several times along the way, trying to see if there were any wandering cultivators who wanted to rob them.

But to Lu Yan's regret, the owner of the alchemy shop seemed to be really keeping his mouth shut and did not spread the news that he, a young cultivator in the early stage of Qi training, had purchased a large number of elixirs.

The failure to wait for the looting cultivators made Lu Yan's plan to get his revenge fail.

Feeling a little regretful, Lu Yan flew to Qinggu Market after a while.

Although the environment of Yushan Market is good, the quality of the spiritual veins is not as good as that of Qinggu Market. If Lu Yan wants to practice, it would be best for him to return to Qinggu Market.

In addition, Lu Yan also wanted to find out some other information about the Red Lotus Demon Sect from He Dongsheng.

Half a day later, Lu Yan slowly landed in Qinggu Market.

As soon as he stepped into the market town, Lu Yan sensed a prying gaze.

"Those seven people have accomplices?"

A hint of doubt arose in his heart, but Lu Yan appeared to be calm as usual as he continued to walk towards the cave area.

At this moment, Lu Yan suddenly felt the prying eyes gradually approaching, and the next moment a voice with a hint of surprise sounded behind him.

"Isn't this Fellow Daoist Lu?"
