Chapter 13

Chapter 13 Spend a fortune

Is this simple?

When the maid heard this, the smile on her face became more obvious. It turned out to be a fat sheep. It seemed that today's assessment could not only be completed, but also exceeded.

"I don't know what your lord's name is. What kind of medicinal materials do you want to buy? My maid can introduce you to them."

The maid tried her best for the assessment. Not only did she stick close to her, but she also secretly gave some hints, hinting that if she bought more, she would get extra benefits.

"My surname is Wan."

"I don't have that much time to wander around. What's the most expensive thing on the first floor?"

It's a pity that Chu Qianqiu is still in the sage period and is not blessed to enjoy this extra gift. He just wants to spend money quickly. The Pavilion Master of Baixiang Pavilion in front of him, Miss Yuan Qin.

"That must be Baishenwan." The maid of Baixiang Pavilion smiled even more happily now. She likes such customers the most.

There is no need to sell the benefits, just spend money on them.

"What's the effect?"

"Sir Wan is a martial arts practitioner at first sight, so why bother taking the exam as a school maid? This Baishen Pill is made from a ginseng tree that is at least a hundred years old as the main ingredient, and mixed with dozens of other medicinal materials."

"If it is taken by warriors in the physical training stage, they can save three months of hard training and complete a hundred days of foundation building."

"Whether it's the Wang family or the Fahua Temple, their direct sons and descendants use Bai Shen Wan."

"Even the Yuanyang Sect, who are good at alchemy, will come to us from time to time to buy a few pills."

nice one!

Chu Qianqiu's eyes lit up, this Baixiang Pavilion was indeed well-deserved.

Without external help, he would have to cycle for a hundred days to complete the 100-day foundation building process, allowing the energy in his Dantian to accumulate to the size of an egg.

But now you only need to buy one pill to save so much time, which is really good.

He finally understood the pleasure of earning money from rich people in his previous life. Ordinary people worked hard to defeat monsters for a hundred days, but I could do it with just a little money. It was indeed very satisfying.

"How much money?" Chu Qianqiu suppressed the joy in his heart and asked quickly.

"Five hundred taels!" the maid opened her jade fingers and asked tentatively.

It is indeed very expensive.

No wonder people in the martial arts hall can't afford it.

Except for the special cases of Huang Xiaoxiao and Xiao Swordsman, according to the legal income, Chu Baihu's family would only have 60 taels of silver a year. It would be good if they could eat meat, but how could they take such an expensive pill?

?

What's more, all the positions in the Chu family's hundreds of households are considered high-income.

This does not include low-level officers such as corps commanders, captains, and centurions. Their salaries can never afford such pills.

Therefore, the bald instructor's expectations for them are limited to the achievement of Qi accumulation.

Because the rich can make money, but the poor can only rely on their liver. When the liver stops moving, it will stop there.

"It's so cheap, I bought it."

With a banknote of 50,000 taels in his pocket, he is quite tough when speaking!

"Master Wan is really generous. I will bring it to you right away." The maid immediately waved her hand, and another attendant who was taking the medicine ran all the way to the medicine cabinet in the middle. He reached out and took out a small square medicine box from the top grid.

Inside the box was a Baishen Pill filled with medicinal aroma.

"Wait a minute."

"My lord, please give me your instructions."

"Do you have any Suhexiang pills here?" Chu Qianqiu subconsciously touched his stomach, and there was a troublesome truth-sucking insect hidden inside.

If he couldn't buy the medicine Huang Xiaoxiao mentioned, even if he took Baishen Pills, he would only be tortured to death by pain hormones.

"Styrax pills?"

"Yes, of course there is. This Styraxianum pill can relieve pain, promote qi, and kill three insects. It is often used to treat internal injuries."

"If Mr. Wan wants to treat internal injuries, maybe Xiao Huan Dan on the second floor would be a better choice." The maid was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied.

"It's good to have it. I want this Suhexiang Pill." Chu Qianqiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking about it, Huang Xiaoxiao wouldn't lie to him. After taking this Styraxianum pill, he should be able to restrain the real-sucking insects and practice his internal strength.

"One storaxianum pill costs 1 tael, a bottle contains thirty pills. How many pills does Mr. Wan want?"

"One bottle first."

Soon, Baishen Pills and Suhexiang Pills were delivered to his hands. Chu Qianqiu took the two pills and sniffed them. He found that the pills looked great and had a mellow aroma. They should not be fake, so he took them out of his arms.

I got a bank check and cashed it directly.

One 1,000-tael Shenlong banknote was exchanged for four 100-tael banknotes and seven 10-tael Sihai banknotes.

If Shenlong Bank is the most famous bank in Daxia, then the corresponding Sihai Bank is the economic pillar of the Shenwu Dynasty.

What is more humorous is that the dignitaries of the Shenwu Dynasty liked the banknotes from Shenlong Bank, while the dignitaries of the Great Xia Dynasty liked those from Sihai Bank.

But money is money, and Chu Qianqiu does not dislike the banknotes from Sihai Bank, as long as he can spend them, he took out one of the 100-tael banknotes and put it in the hand of the maid.

"Give me a detailed introduction to the efficacy, side effects, and best discounts of the elixir, and this banknote will be yours."

"Sir, do you really mean what you say?"

Happiness came so suddenly, and the maid was so excited that she felt at a loss.

After these days of understanding, Chu Qianqiu also roughly understood the value of silver.

One tael of silver is at least equivalent to 1,000 yuan in the previous life, or even higher.

In other words, these 100 taels of silver notes are equivalent to 100,000 yuan in the previous life.

Not only that, due to the population expansion of the Shenwu Dynasty, human resources were actually very cheap.

A long-term worker works all year round, and if food and lodging are included, the annual salary is only 2 taels of silver, and there are still a lot of people competing for this job.

Just because the Baixiangge family has a big business does not mean that the salary level of their waiters is high. On the contrary, their basic salary is even lower than that of permanent employees. Sometimes there is even no basic salary and they can only rely on sales commissions.

But now that Chu Qianqiu is throwing away these 100 taels of silver, the maid may sell her body and work for several years, but she may not be able to save it.

"I will give you 10 taels of silver first. If you are satisfied, I will exchange it for 100 taels of silver. Do you understand?" Chu Qianqiu put the silver note in the maid's hand, then took it back and exchanged it for a 10 tael silver note.

It's not that he doesn't want to part with her, it's that he wants to make this maid work harder.

Put this 100-tael banknote in front of the maid as a carrot to make her work harder.

"Actually, there are three varieties of Baishen Pills. If they are cheap, they only cost 300 taels, which is more cost-effective."

"This 500-tael Baishen Pill is of the best quality, but it doesn't improve the strength much, so it doesn't sell well."

The maid quickly put the 10-tael silver note into her chest and held it tightly to her body, for fear of being snatched away, and whispered to Chu Qianqiu in a low voice.

Great, this is a good start.

Chu Qianqiu nodded with satisfaction. He had the time loop system in his hand, and no matter how much wealth he squandered, it would be nothing but prostitution.

It is not impossible that I can obtain countless information through this method, and even prostitute the entire world for free.

"I'm very happy that you can tell the truth. I don't mind buying expensive things, but it must be worth the money. Do you understand?"

"My maid understands. Sir, please come upstairs."

The maid led Chu Qianqiu to the second floor of Baixiang Pavilion and introduced him to the elixirs on the second floor.

"The best-selling elixir on the second floor is called Nourishing Pulse Pill. It is the best elixir for the circulation of Qi in the sky."

"Since you have bought Baishen Pills, which saves you a hundred days of hard training to build your foundation, then you will definitely need Pulse Nourishing Pills."

"If you take the Nourishing Pulse Pill, you can achieve a small success in accumulating Qi in half a year."

After the initial exercise, the body relaxes in specific postures, which can slowly form the true energy. When the true energy gathers in the Dantian and becomes the size of an egg, the warriors can begin to try to guide the true energy, walk through the meridians around the sky, and complete the true energy.

cycle.

According to the bald instructor, warriors use the true energy to open up the main meridians and form a stable circulation, so that the true energy in the Dantian is about the size of a small bowl. There is a continuous flow of true energy in the meridians day and night, which is a small achievement of accumulating qi.

From this stage on, the gap between warriors and mortals has widened astonishingly. Warriors can use their true energy to become infinitely powerful, making ordinary weapons sharpen iron like clay.

Among ordinary people, warriors who have achieved a little success in accumulating qi are like tigers among sheep.

However, this process is also difficult and painful.

Because human meridians are fragile, internal injuries can easily occur if the Qi moves too fast or too violently.

The reason why Zhenwu Sect's "Xuan Yuan Gong" is so popular is because according to the method, as long as it is pushed slowly, there will be almost no internal injuries, and it is quite friendly to ordinary people.

But the price is that the speed of cultivation will be very slow.

From a hundred days of foundation building to a small success in accumulating energy, it takes at least five years to practice "Xuan Yuan Gong" without taking any pills.

Nowadays, the technology of alchemy is increasing day by day. The cultivation speed of children of aristocratic families and direct descendants of sects is very different from that of ordinary people. As long as they take the Yangmai Pill on time, ordinary people need at least five years, but they only spend half a year at most!

"Keep talking." The two of them arrived at the second floor of Baixiang Pavilion. If the first floor is mostly filled with medicinal materials, then starting from the second floor, it is mostly filled with elixirs.

Naturally, Yangmai Dan is also included.

"The Yangmai Pill is also divided into three grades. The lower grade Yangmai Pill is priced at 300 taels, and the middle grade is 500 taels."

"As for the top-grade pulse-nourishing pill, it is not from Baixiang Pavilion, but from the Medicine Buddha Hall of Maha Temple. One pill costs at least 1,500 taels."

The maid said cautiously, while secretly observing Chu Qianqiu's expression.

"1500 taels, why are the elixirs produced by Medicine Buddha Hall so expensive?" Chu Qianqiu was stunned by the price even though he had nearly 50,000 taels of silver in his arms.

If you eat one pill a month for half a year, you will need 9,000 taels of silver.

Except for Huang Xiaoxiao, probably no one in the entire martial arts hall could afford it. Even Swordsman Xiao might not be able to take pills of this level.

If it were in his previous life, almost an apartment in the imperial capital would have been eaten up.

How much wealth do you need to be able to withstand such abuse?

"I heard from the manager that there is a Heavenly Thunder Pill Furnace in the Medicine Buddha Hall of Maha Temple."

"There are countless iron chains made of fine steel around the alchemy furnace, and there is also a lightning needle thrust into the sky. Whenever there is lightning and thunder, the eminent monks of the Medicine Buddha Hall will use the sky thunder to refine this top-grade elixir.

Pulse nourishing pill.”

"The Nourishing Medicinal Pill produced by Maha Temple not only warms and nourishes the meridians, but also contains a hint of thunder power, which can greatly broaden the toughness and width of the meridians."

"As a result, the price is high, but demand often exceeds supply."

It turns out that, relying on the Medicine Buddha Hall, Maha Temple can produce a large number of masters in batches, probably even innate masters. No wonder it has such a huge influence on the imperial court.

"Then just come to 7 and settle the money."

"You can go see the Pavilion Master now." Chu Qianqiu directly took out 11,000 taels of silver notes.

We bought this pulse nourishing pill.

"Of course." The maid felt that her breathing was a little short.

It is not uncommon for distinguished guests to spend more than ten thousand taels of silver in Baixiang Pavilion, but she has only seen one person like Chu Qianqiu buy goods worth tens of thousands of taels in one go.

"No need, I'm already here."

The master of Baixiang Pavilion and a well-known innate master in the town, Miss Yuan Qin, finally appeared.
