Chapter 437: Chapter 230: Selling Pills_2

“The matter of the pill is my responsibility, so naturally I can make the decision.” Elder Pine Zen Ren nodded and replied.
“Then let’s not waste time talking, let’s go inside for tea.” Lin Yi suddenly changed his mind and said.
“Please, after you.” Elder Pine Zen Ren extended his hand to show the way.
The Foundation Building cultivator behind and the Qi Refining Disciple guarding the mountain gate looked at each other with doubt on their faces, wondering if this God is perhaps out of his mind.
Under Elder Pine Zen Ren’s lead, they flew into Xuan Yuan Sect, arriving at a hall.
He personally brewed a cup of tea and handed it to Lin Yi, “May I know your name, sir? This is the Spiritual Tao Tea produced by our sect, Dao Ling Zong. It’s beneficial for cultivation.”
“Just call me Hua Tuo.” Lin Yi said casually, then unhesitatingly brought the cup of tea to his lips and took a sip.
Seeing Lin Yi drinking the tea so carefree without any guard, Elder Pine Zen Ren revealed a slight smile. This man’s demeanor and courage are far from an ordinary Foundation Building cultivator.
After drinking the cup of Spiritual Tao Tea, Lin Yi felt a warm heat rising in his Dantian, his state of mind becoming much more peaceful, and his brain seemed to become clearer.
However, he was not surprised at all. Tea with similar effects was also grown in the Dan God Secret Realm, which tasted even better than Spiritual Tao Tea.
Elder Pine Zen Ren waited for Lin Yi to finish his tea before continuing, “Brother Hua, I gathered from the disciple’s report that there were quite a number of top-grade Gold Coagulation Pills. Is that true?”
“Not many, just a few dozen for now.” Lin Yi shook his head and replied casually.
During the time he was improving his High-Order Alchemy Skill, as the concoction of the Gold Coagulation Pill took around ten days, he chose the Gathering Yuan Pill, which required the shortest time, to escalate his skill faster.
The Gold Coagulation Pill was just a casual exercise to hone his skills. And, he has the bonus quality from his Alchemy title. The Medium Grade Gold Coagulation Pill, under this bonus, turned out to be top-grade once it was completed.
The top-grade Gold Coagulation Pill would then become supreme-grade, and the supreme-grade Gold Coagulation Pill would become the peak quality, beyond supreme-grade.
Elder Pine Zen Ren coughed lightly. A few dozen top-grade Gold Coagulation Pills, and this is considered ‘not many’? Usually, for Foundation Building Realm to reach Golden Core, they would only need three to four pills at most.
If three or four top-grade Gold Coagulation Pills can’t help achieve the Golden Core, consuming more is just a waste.
More importantly, the concoction of top-grade Gold Coagulation Pills is quite difficult. Even the Golden Core Real Person from the Dao Ling Zong, who specializes in Alchemy, would consider it very impressive to concoct twenty top-grade Gold Coagulation Pills in a year.
Elder Pine Zen Ren, suppressing the joy in his heart, asked, “Brother Hua, do you plan to sell all of these pills to Xuan Yuan Sect?”
Lin Yi nodded, “Of course, I have a lot of things to attend to and I don’t want to waste time.”
“Apart from the top-grade Gold Coagulation Pills, there are also a few supreme-grade Gold Coagulation Pills, and a large number of cultivation enhancing Gathering Soul Pills and Gathering Yuan Pills, can you buy them all?”
The supreme-grade Gold Coagulation Pills he concocted were also in dozens, including some of peak quality. However, he wouldn’t take all of them out, preferring a steady flow.
As for the Foundation Building Pills he had concocted, they had already been sold with the help of Wu Tian Zhang from the Pill Hall.
Upon hearing that there were a few supreme-grade Gold Coagulation Pills, Elder Pine Zen Ren’s eyes lit up, “Brother Hua, can you bring out these pills for us to see?”
“You all are so much fuss. The pills are in the Storage Bag. Here, take a look and remember to quote me a reasonable price.” Lin Yi said, tossing a Storage Bag to him, which contained the pills he wanted to sell.
Elder Pine Zen Ren eagerly took the Storage Bag, his Divine Sense delved into it to see quite a few porcelain bottles. When he opened some bottles with his Divine Sense, he smelled the dense fragrance, revealing a trace of unusual color on his face.
Indeed, there were supreme-grade Gold Coagulation Pills. The Gathering Soul Pills and Gathering Yuan Pills were also all of top-grade and supreme-grade quality.
If they could purchase this batch of pills, the strength of Xuan Yuan Sect would undoubtedly be boosted substantially.
However, one thing left him puzzled: how could Lin Yi dare to throw the Storage Bag directly to him?
Holding the Storage Bag lightly, Elder Pine Zen Ren couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Hua, you threw your Storage Bag to me so casually. Aren’t you worried that we might kill you and snatch your goods?”
Lin Yi revealed a faint smile on his face, “I came to the Xuan Yuan Sect because it has a good atmosphere that I particularly like. So I’m giving you a chance.”
Hearing this, Elder Pine Zen Ren slowly nodded his head. The implication behind those words was that he was offering them an opportunity, but it was up to them to seize it.
He had a hunch that this man’s cultivation level was definitely not just at the Foundation Building Fifth Layer stage as it appeared. At the very least, he had to be in the Golden Core Realm, if not higher.
If this Dao companion could consistently provide pills, it would indeed be an invaluable opportunity for the weaker Xuan Yuan Sect among the subsidiary sects.
Then, Elder Pine Zen Ren began to speak, “Friend Hua, I need to discuss this matter with our Sect Leader. We’ll give you a price later. As for this storage bag…”
“It doesn’t matter. You can take these pills with you,” Lin Yi waved his hand in indifference.
If the Xuan Yuan Sect decided to forsake an opportunity over these few pills, then there was nothing more to be said. It was his mistake for misjudging them as short-sighted.
Seeing Lin Yi still acting indifferent, Elder Pine Zen Ren once again confirmed that this Hua Tuo either concealed his cultivation or had an extraordinary background.
He gave a bow and then, with the storage bag in hand, went to meet with the Sect Leader.
Apart from negotiating the price, it was also crucial to make sure these pills were not tricky in any way.
There’d be big trouble if the pills simply disappeared or transformed into worthless items after they’d been purchased. The Xuan Yuan Sect’s reputation would be ruined.
After a while, sounds came from the outside of the hall. Four people who had reached the realm of the Golden Core Real Persons hurriedly walked in. The one leading them was a middle-aged man clad in a grey robe. As they walked in, their eyes flashed with spiritual light, probing Lin Yi’s cultivation, and they exchanged looks. As expected, he was at the Foundation Building Fifth Layer.
Lin Yi lazily lifted his eyes to look at them and said lightly, “Have you finished your discussion? Are you planning to rob and kill me or to clean the slate with payment.”
Astonishment filled the hearts of the Golden Core Real Persons. Other Foundation Building cultivators would have hurriedly stood and greeted them as seniors or real persons with a fist salute upon seeing them. However, this man was unusually calm.
The leader, the grey-robed Golden Core Real Person, broke out in hearty laughter and gently saluted. “Friend Hua, you’re being too playful. I am the leader of the Xuan Yuan Sect, codenamed Qing He.”
“You came to sell pills at our Xuan Yuan Sect. I believe this shows your affinity for our beliefs. You have trusted us and granted us an opportunity. How could we show you any disrespect?”
“There are thirty-five top-grade gold coagulation pills and four supreme-grade gold coagulation pills in the storage bag… After careful calculation, we’ve come up with a total price of 3.5 million spirit stones. Does this satisfy you, friend?”
Lin Yi had naturally already calculated the price. The market price for the Gold Coagulation Pills alone was already over 2 million.
Adding all these pills together, the market price was 3.2 million, and the price offered by the Xuan Yuan Sect was 300,000 more.
He nodded and replied, “The price seems fair. I only want top-grade spirit stones or supreme-grade spirit stones.”
Lower-grade spirit stones were just too bulky, and he currently wouldn’t be spending spirit stones outside anyway, so it was more appropriate to exchange them for a higher grade.
“No problem, kindly give us a moment please,” Qing He Zen Ren nodded, smiling as he indicated for another Golden Core Real Person to fetch the top-grade spirit stones.
The amount of over three million spirit stones was not a small expense for their sect, but from the beginning, they never had any thought of murdering and robbing him.
While waiting for the spirit stones, he asked subtly, “Excuse me for being presumptuous, but may I ask if all these pills were refined by you?”
“Some things are best left unknown,” Lin Yi said lightly.
“I have been too presumptuous. May I ask if friend Hua intends to continue selling pills in the Xuan Yuan Sect in the future?” Qing He Zen Ren asked the question he cared most about.
With the help of these pills, not only would the cultivation levels of their Xuan Yuan Sect disciples improve rapidly, but there might also be a chance for Foundation Building disciples to reach the Golden Core stage.
“It depends on my mood,” Lin Yi waved his hand.
Very soon, that Golden Core Real Person brought over more than 300 top-grade spirit stones. Laid out in front of their eyes, the huge pile of lower-grade spirit stones that could comprise several small hills could only be exchanged for slightly over 300 top-grade spirit stones.
