"Fellow Daoist Qiu, are you still making money from the price of the spiritual rice?" Li Shiming asked slightly surprised.
"Of course our store will not do loss-making business. You also know that it is difficult to sell Lingmi at a high price. It is a low-profit business. Within the sect, there are not many junior Lingzhu husbands, so they can grow Lingtian alone.
There are even fewer.
Changming Island Market is just one of the many markets within the sect. Lingzhifu will sign cooperation contracts with each Lingzhi store. If I offer a low price, won't you be robbed by other stores if I turn around?
Qiutan explained without any secret.
Due to the climate of the Tianhai Sect, the spiritual fields within the Nine Peaks can still be protected by the sect's formation and will not be affected much by the climate.
However, in the spiritual fields in the sea, spiritual rice can only be produced in three seasons for six months a year, which makes it more difficult for junior spiritual planters to survive.
Therefore, except for the professional spiritual cultivators actively cultivated by Tianhai Sect, few monks who entered the sect through the Immortal Ascension Conference choose to be spiritual cultivators.
This is not to say that Ling Zhifu is a bad profession, but it is more difficult than other deputy professions in the early stages.
Of course, this difficulty is also relative. Compared with ordinary sect monks, Ling Zhifu is still much better.
Why Qiu Tan pays special attention to Li Shiming is precisely because he discovered that Li Shiming is a newcomer in this issue.
This period is quite special. Originally, thirty or forty newcomers would enter the sect every year at the Immortal Ascension Conference. Together with the qualified newcomers from the sect's sea area, the sect could be supplemented by fifty or sixty newcomers in five years.
However, this year's spiritual root seedlings were attacked, and the fact that only a few spiritual root seedlings survived has long been spread among the sect's Qi Refining disciples.
This not only deepened the resentment between the Tianhai Sect and the Xuanming Sect, but also made the concerned Qi Refining disciples notice the spiritual root seedlings in this period.
After Qiu Tan met Li Shiming, he asked someone to inquire about Li Shiming's situation.
Li Shiming is the only new monk in this period who has his own cave outside. The other new monks are still busy with the simplest tasks, and even the nine peaks of the sect are unable to go out.
Li Shiming is also the only Ling Zhifu. Because there are too few talents in this period, there will be no new Ling Zhihu for at least the next five years.
"I have two thousand kilograms of spiritual rice here, and I also need to buy some spiritual seeds!" Li Shiming said after thinking about it.
He was too lazy to sell it slowly. Spiritual rice was not a treasure. Although the quantity was a bit large, it could always be explained away.
Who told him that he was already a spiritual cultivator before he entered the sect. The large amount of spiritual rice was his inventory, and that was it.
"Two thousand kilograms of spiritual rice?" Qiu Tan was startled when he heard this. He quickly realized it and pulled Li Shiming into the reception room next to him.
There were still two customers in the store at this time, and Qiu Tan didn't want a potential supplier like Li Shiming to be targeted by others.
"Is there really two thousand kilograms of spiritual rice?" Qiutan confirmed again after entering the reception room.
Li Shiming took out ten sacks from the storage bag, each containing two hundred kilograms of spiritual rice.
"Fellow Daoist Li, look at this. From now on, your spiritual rice will only be supplied to me. I can increase the purchase price by 10% for you every time!" Qiu Tan looked at him and really took out two thousand kilograms of spiritual rice and bit into it.
He gritted his teeth and said.
Nowadays, involution is very serious. Everyone has a background between markets and merchants. No one can use special means. They can only use better conditions to snatch suppliers.
Qiutan treats a junior spiritual husband like Li Shiming as an important supplier in the future.
But Li Shiming gave him an accident, two thousand kilograms of spiritual rice. From this, we can see that Li Shiming must have some special means in spiritual planting. Otherwise, given Li Shiming's age, he would have started practicing even when his spiritual roots were generated at the age of twelve.
, it would be difficult to save two thousand kilograms of spiritual rice.
Not to mention that based on Qiutan’s experience, this batch of spiritual rice was produced within one year.
Qiu Tan doesn't care what kind of methods Li Shiming has, and Qiu Tan is not a spiritual husband, but Li Shiming must be retained as a talent.
"Okay!" Li Shiming thought for a moment and agreed.
A stable channel is also good. Even if spiritual rice is not grown in the computer room space in the future, there will still be more than a thousand kilograms of spiritual rice for sale in the spiritual fields every year.
"By the way, whatever spiritual seeds you want, as long as they are within the sect's sphere of influence, I can get them for you!" Seeing that Li Shiming agreed, Qiu Tan continued.
They didn't talk about signing a contract. Oral agreements between monks were rarely violated.
In the circle of monks, failure to keep a promise is a very terrible thing, and monks who break their promise will be ostracized by other monks.
Unless it involves something too important, a verbal agreement is enough.
"I made a list!" Li Shiming took out a piece of paper and handed it to Qiutan.
Qiutan took it and took a look, and found that part of the spiritual seeds inside were relatively expensive elixirs that junior spiritual cultivators could grow.
Many junior spiritual planters of this type of expensive elixir will buy spiritual seeds and cultivate them carefully. If they are successfully planted, they can earn a lot of spiritual stones.
Of course, the reason why these elixirs are expensive is that they are difficult to plant. Although junior spirit planters can plant them, even intermediate spirit planters can hardly guarantee their survival rate.
Although Qiutan knew this, he would not persuade him. Only by planting difficult spiritual plants could Ling Zhifu grow up faster.
In addition, there were some condiment-type spiritual plant seeds. Seeing this item, Qiu Tan couldn't help but smile. He thought that the process of getting to know Li Shiming was exactly the intersection of trading sea pig beasts.
It can be seen that Li Shiming still has ideas about eating. Spiritual plants for seasonings do not have much practical value, but they need to occupy spiritual fields.
Finally, there were the seeds of three special elixirs. After seeing the seeds of these three special elixirs, Qiu Tan couldn't help but look up at Li Shiming.
"I can't get these three elixir seeds, but if you really need them, I can try to help you find them. You should be able to buy them!" Although Qiutan had doubts in his heart, he still told the truth.
He knew very well that these three elixirs were resources needed by Xuanming Sect. Where could he find such elixir seeds in Tianhai Sect?
However, the war between Tianhai Sect and Xuanming Sect lasted for many years. Both sides suffered casualties and many storage bags were seized.
Most of the resources of the Xuanming Sect are simply unusable for the monks of the Tianhai Sect.
What Qiutan was referring to was to look for them from some of the familiar Tianhaizong monks. Although these three elixirs were considered rare, he had heard of them, and the possibility of finding them was extremely high.
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, thank you so much. I wonder how many spiritual stones are needed?" Li Shiming was naturally happy when he heard that he could purchase elixirs directly, but his spiritual stones were limited. These three elixirs were all resources in the late stage of Qi refining.
He may not have enough spiritual stones.
"If Li Daoyou trusts me, I will keep two thousand kilograms of spiritual rice and two thousand one hundred spiritual stones. You can take away the existing spiritual seeds. I will buy these three spiritual medicines. The more spiritual stones you have, the less you can replenish them!" Qiu
Tan said with a wave of his hand.
Li Shiming rode the paper crane with a smile on his face. This trip to Fangshi was very good.
He purchased the needed spiritual plant seeds, sold the excess spiritual rice, and ordered the last three materials for the bronze corpse to be promoted to the iron corpse.
He did not expect that it would go so smoothly. Three materials that the original owner of the bronze corpse could not obtain in the Xuanming Sect could easily be found in the Tianhai Sect.
Qiu Tan said so confidently that he was naturally very confident. Li Shiming even doubted whether Qiu Tan knew whose hands the three materials were.
The talisman materials that Li Shiming needed, as well as the relevant knowledge that monks in the Qi refining stage should master, were all purchased at low prices with the help of Qiu Tan.
During the whole process, in addition to the 2,100 spiritual stones for selling two thousand kilograms of spiritual rice, he only paid more than one hundred spiritual stones.
The most important gain this time is the establishment of a channel with Qiutan. Even though Qiutan opens a Lingzhi store, in fact Qiutan has deep relationships with many stores. Through this channel, Qiutan, regardless of whether
All spiritual objects can be sold or purchased through Qiutan.
When he first left Changming Daofang City, Li Shiming was extremely cautious, fearing that he would encounter the same situation he encountered last time in Sanxiufang City.
The first time he went to Fangshi after becoming a monk was an unbearable experience. If he hadn't thrown the 'thermite bomb' that time, his career as a monk might have ended.
The safety of Fang City on Changming Island is not just a matter of talk. After leaving Fang City, we flew for an hour without encountering any monks following us.
Li Shiming asked IBMz15 to help sense the nearby situation, and he took out the jade slips recording the knowledge of the monks in the Qi Refining Period.
He placed the jade slip between his eyebrows, and a large amount of knowledge was transferred to his brain and also to IBMz15.
IBMz15 opened the knowledge related to Qi Refining Stage monks, and the contents were quickly browsed in his mind.
There is a lot of knowledge here, including common elixirs, spiritual mines, spiritual objects, etc. during the Qi refining period. When monks travel, they may encounter various spiritual objects. With this knowledge, they will not be confused due to knowledge blind spots.
Missed opportunity.
Some spiritual objects require special collection methods. If this method is not known, even if the spiritual objects are collected, the aura of the spiritual objects will be greatly lost, and the value will be greatly reduced.
In addition, he also found that he lacked the containers that normal monks usually have. Most monks carry several items with them, one is a jade box to store elixirs, the other is a magic weapon-level skinning knife, the third is a container to store spiritual blood, and the fourth is a
Artifacts for collecting souls.
Don't underestimate these things. If there is no jade box for the elixir found in the wild, the spiritual power will be greatly lost.
The skinning knife is an instrument that stores spiritual blood and souls. This is a set of magic tools, all used to deal with sea beasts.
The previous sea pig beasts were of little value except for their spiritual flesh. However, for spiritual beasts that have reached the first level of intermediate and advanced strength, whether it is skin, spiritual blood or soul, they are important resources. If they do not carry a spiritual weapon to preserve them,
It will cause considerable losses.
Among the relevant knowledge for monks in the Qi refining stage, there is also knowledge about elixirs. This is not for monks to refine elixirs, but to understand elixirs.
Mastering the ability to identify elixirs will prevent monks from being deceived by unscrupulous merchants because the elixirs they worked so hard to buy are not suitable for their own use.
The elixirs used by Qi Refining monks are first-grade elixirs, which are divided into low-level, intermediate, high-level, and top-level according to their quality.
The difference in quality is mainly due to the effect of the elixir and the impurities in it, which have a great impact on taking the elixir.
Take the lowest-level first-grade elixir as an example. When monks take low-level first-grade elixirs, they need to consider the issue of erysipelas. It does not matter if the effect of the elixir itself is weaker, but the intake of erysipelas must be strictly controlled.
Under normal circumstances, low-level first-grade elixirs have a certain standard amount every month, and you cannot take more than the standard amount to avoid erysipelas affecting the body.
As the quality level increases by one level, the erysipelas and medicinal efficacy will increase.
The best is a top-grade elixir. Not only does it have no erysipelas after taking it, but it is also the most effective. In addition, there is no chance of drug resistance developing.
For monks, drug resistance is a hidden risk.
Monks usually do not see the dangers of drug resistance, but a monk who has never taken pills and a monk who has taken a large amount of pills reached the peak of Qi refining at the same time, and were given the same foundation-building pills and supporting auxiliary pills.
Medicine promotion.
The probability of a monk who has never taken elixirs to be promoted is one to two times higher than that of a monk who takes a large amount of elixirs. This is a conclusion reached by many forces in the world of immortality for countless years.
But the problem is that even if the monks are aware of the existence of drug resistance, each additional non-top-level elixir will increase the body's drug resistance, but the monks will still use the elixir to improve their own strength.
Not every monk is gifted with a single spiritual root. Even without the help of pills, he can easily reach the peak of Qi refining.
Top-quality elixirs that will not produce drug resistance are even more difficult to find due to the uncertainty in their production.
It's not that the alchemist doesn't want to refine the top elixir, but that refining the top elixir is completely a matter of luck.
Most alchemists have only produced one or two top-level elixirs in their lifetime, but when asked how to refine top-level elixirs, they have no clue, and the process cannot be repeated.
The elixirs that Li Shiming found from the trophies and the Hao family's elixirs were all low-level first-grade Bigu Pills, while the elixirs he obtained from the Xuanming Sect monks were the intermediate first-grade Xuanyin Life Pills, which were training auxiliary elixirs for the Xuanming Sect monks.
.
He was thinking that even if he was hungry, if he knew the shortcomings of the low-level first-grade Bigu Pill, he would not put it into his mouth.
Among the knowledge related to monks in the Qi Refining Stage, there is also knowledge about various magical weapons.
Among the sects, the magical artifacts produced by Li Feng are the best. For the monks of the sect, the magical artifacts are one of the few spiritual objects that cannot be stingy, as they are related to the lives of the monks.
Therefore, in the relevant knowledge, it is strongly recommended that after the monks have achieved certain good deeds, the first thing they should exchange is a magic weapon produced by Li Feng to enhance themselves.
Seeing this, Li Shiming couldn't help but take out the turtle shield and looked around to make sure there was no mark of Li Feng on the turtle shield.
"What a loss!" He couldn't help but shook his head and muttered to himself.
He thought of the old monk's sincere farewell smile. Of course it was sincere. This was a smile that only cost him so many spiritual stones!
"Use it first!" He played with the turtle shield. In his opinion, the turtle shield was not bad. Although he was unwilling to do so, he did not want to go back to the market to buy it again.
Although he still had some spiritual stones, after he inquired about the prices of high-grade magic weapons and flying boats, he realized how poor he was. His few spiritual stones were nothing at all.
Even if you can't afford a spiritual boat for the time being, in order to be able to travel quickly on the sea, you still need to replace the paper crane.
These require a large amount of spiritual stones, and he still needs to practice. In addition, he also needs to keep some spiritual stones to wait for news about the three spiritual medicines from Qiutan.
