"Sigh, this is a tricky matter!" Chen Huai'an was really conflicted.
The value of a single high-grade Body Refining Pill is definitely worth several low-grade spirit stones.
Furthermore, the value of this item cannot be measured in spirit stones.
He understood the principle that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime," and that if he made a move now, he would definitely be targeted by villains.
Furthermore, this is a valuable commodity; aside from a few wealthy individuals, only shops can afford to buy it.
To sell to shops that specialize in buying elixirs, one can only go to the market town at the foot of Qingyun Mountain.
Disciples serving as servants are not allowed to leave the sect without its permission.
The items Chen Huai'an possessed were valuable, but they were all troublesome and shouldn't have ended up in the hands of a nobody like him.
"Let's keep looking around. If there isn't a suitable opportunity tonight, we won't make a move. We'll wait and look for a better chance."
After having this thought, Chen Huai'an calmed down and stopped thinking about those messy things.
"Young man, I've noticed you've been lingering here for quite a while. Is there something on my stall that you've taken a fancy to? If you're really interested, I can sell it to you at a discount," a burly man asked Chen Huai'an.
This person was also a menial disciple of the outer sect, but Chen Huai'an didn't dare to offend him at all. The other person exuded a domineering aura, and his exposed arm muscles bulged, making him look like a master.
"Senior brother, I'd like to take these Body Refining Pills from your stall, but I don't have any spirit stones on me. Can I trade them for something else?" Chen Huai'an said after carefully considering his tone.
"Oh, you want to trade with me for something else? I've already made it clear, I don't want anything ugly. Even if it's a barter, it has to be something I can use at the sixth level of Body Refinement." The burly man said with a smile.
He has now reached a bottleneck in his cultivation. Ordinary items can no longer help him; only advanced items can help him break through this bottleneck.
"What I have in my hand is a high-grade body-refining pill." Chen Huai'an observed the other party for a while. He couldn't see through this person. Also, although he looked fierce and menacing, the other party was not that kind of bad person.
Of course, bad people don't have "bad" written on their faces. Based on his sixth sense, he felt that this person wasn't the kind of bad guy who would double-cross others.
"Is the advanced body-refining pill the intermediate-level one? Although it's a good thing, and I've taken it before, it's not very effective," Xu Qing said, scratching his head.
In an attempt to break through the bottleneck of the seventh level of the late-stage Body Refinement realm, he consumed two intermediate-grade Body Refinement Pills, but the effect was minimal. Perhaps he had consumed too many Body Refinement Pills and developed resistance, requiring him to switch to a higher-grade pill.
"This pill is a family heirloom. If I weren't short of money, I wouldn't have traded it for your low-grade Body Refining Pill," Chen Huai'an said, feigning maturity.
Upon hearing this, Xu Qing showed interest. He had originally set up his stall with a try-it-out mentality, but he didn't expect that someone would actually be willing to trade with him.
As he spoke, Chen Huai'an took the high-grade Body Refining Pill out of his pocket.
As Chen Huai'an opened the cloth bag, he kept a close eye on the other person's expression. If the other person made any unusual moves, he would run away immediately.
Fortunately, the other party was a trustworthy person and did not do anything out of line, which relieved his anxiety.
What he fears most is encountering a bully like Zhang Hu who enjoys double-crossing others.
Actually, Chen Huai'an was being overly cautious.
He was a beginner, while his opponent was a master at the peak of the mid-stage of the Body Refinement Realm. What could a nobody like him possibly have that would tempt him?
If he hadn't heard that several scions of wealthy families had joined the new batch of handyman disciples, he wouldn't have set up a stall here.
"This is a top-grade body-refining pill. You actually have such a good thing in your hands." Xu Qing's eyes widened when he saw the pill in Chen Huai'an's hand.
Surprisingly, some of the outer sect's menial disciples possess such a valuable item.
However, considering that some of these menial disciples were from prestigious families, this was not unreasonable.
"I'll take this. Name your price." Xu Qing snatched the high-grade body-refining pill from Chen Huai'an, acting as if afraid of being seen by others. He was even more careful than Chen Huai'an himself.
Seeing the other party's actions, Chen Huai'an felt a sense of relief, proving that his guess was correct. The other party was not the kind of person who would be greedy for money, and the deal would be done today.
"I need a low-grade Body Refining Pill. This thing is a waste in my hands," Chen Huai'an said slowly.
"You want low-grade body refining pills? I don't have many body refining pills on hand, just ten low-grade ones and three mid-grade ones. I don't plan to sell the mid-grade ones, but since you want them, I'll give you the three mid-grade ones as well, which will be equivalent to thirty low-grade body refining pills. I'll settle the remaining sixty low-grade body refining pills with spirit stones, how about that?" Xu Qing was a rather honest person, and he thought for a moment before saying this.
One high-grade body-refining pill can be exchanged for one hundred low-grade body-refining pills, and ten low-grade body-refining pills are worth one low-grade spirit stone.
"I need mid-grade and low-grade body-refining pills for my cultivation. You are a senior, could you use your spirit stones to help me buy some low-grade body-refining pills?" Chen Huai'an thought for a moment and said.
In this trading venue, every additional transaction he makes carries additional risk, and if he gets targeted along the way, it will be even more dangerous.
"Alright, wait here for a moment. I'll exchange these six low-grade spirit stones for low-grade body-refining pills for you," Xu Qing said with a smile.
"These are some pills I have on hand. Keep them safe. I'll be right back."
Chen Huai'an casually took the porcelain bottles containing pills that the other party handed him.
He found it somewhat amusing to see the other person rushing off to buy the pills.
Not everyone in this sect is a bad person.
If the other party can get him the pills he needs, he won't have to worry about cultivation resources for the next few days, and he will stand out in the entrance test.
The pills were tested and found to be high-grade body-refining pills. Similarly, the low-grade spirit stones used for evolution and upgrading in the space should also be high-grade spirit stones. In this way, he was really going to become rich.
The reason why spirit stones are so precious is that when you reach the later stage of the Body Refinement Realm, in addition to using pills to assist your cultivation, you can also use spirit stones to assist your cultivation.
Like elixirs, the higher the grade of a spirit stone, the fewer impurities it contains, which is beneficial for cultivation.
Take this Body Refining Pill, for example. Even though they are both Body Refining Pills, the price difference between a low-grade Body Refining Pill and a high-grade Body Refining Pill is nearly a hundred times. The most important thing is that the effect of the medicine is long-lasting, and the human body can absorb it better without leaving any pill poison in the body.
High-grade body-refining pills can only be refined by alchemy masters. Most of what you see on the market are low-grade or mid-grade. Occasionally, a high-grade one will appear, but it will be quickly snapped up by acquaintances and will not end up on the market.
While waiting, Chen Huai'an kept a close eye on his surroundings, ready to run away at the first sign of trouble.
Fortunately, his fears did not come true, and no suspicious persons approached him.
After a full cup of tea's time, Xu Qingcai jogged up and appeared in front of him.
"Here you go, these are sixty low-grade body-refining pills. Check them over, and if there are no problems, we'll call it a day."
"No problem," Chen Huai'an said with a smile.
"Well, young brother, if you have any more high-grade body-refining pills to sell in the future, you can come to Kumu Peak to find me, Xu Qing. I guarantee you'll be satisfied with the price," Xu Qing said with a smile to Chen Huai'an.
"Alright, Senior Brother Xu, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now." Chen Huai'an cupped his hands in greeting to the other party.
After saying that, Chen Huai'an smiled politely, turned around and left.
"What an interesting little fellow. He actually managed to produce a high-grade Body Refining Pill, and one of such good quality at that. Could he be a scion of some powerful family?" Xu Qing muttered to himself as he watched Chen Huai'an's departing figure.
After Chen Huai'an left, he kept a close eye on the movements behind him. His biggest worry was that the other party would double-cross him. His crisis was not over until he returned to his residence, so he had to be extremely careful.
