Nine Evolutions of the True Spirit Chapter 30 - Business

Sure enough, Lu Ping saw the names of several top-grade medicinal pellets that were used for different cultivation ranks of the Blood Refining Realm—Blood Solidifying Pellets were among them. Overjoyed, Lu Ping quickly asked, “Little Brother, how much for the Blood Solidifying Pellets?”

The worker looked at the list and said, “Four contribution points for one Blood Solidifying Pellet. If you buy one bottle of ten pellets, we’ll discount the price to 35 contribution points.”

At hearing this, Lu Ping couldn’t help but say, “That’s quite expensive. Four contribution points can be exchanged for 12 spirit stones. Blood Solidifying Pellets are only twice as good as Blood Essence Pellets and a Blood Essence Pellet is only worth 4 spirit stones in the market.”

The worker shrugged and raised his hands helplessly. “Master Immortal, the rarer it is, the greater its value. We sell by the bottle here, and even then, we’re constantly on the lookout for the sect’s investigations. We need to maintain a good relationship with different parties. That all costs spirit stones!”

Lu Ping looked at the shady expression on the worker’s face. He knew there was some truth in his explanation, but most of it was a lie. This might be another way for them to profit that had received tacit approval by the sect.

In the end, since he had to rely on them for medicinal pellets, he had to play by their rules. He looked at his remaining 20 contribution points. After some deliberation, he took out a jade box from his interspatial pouch and handed it to the worker. “How many contribution points can I get for this Void Green Grass?”

This spirit herb was one of Lu Ping’s gains from Xuan Qi Island. He only knew that the Void Green Grass was used to concoct a type of Blood Condensation Realm medicinal pellet but not what kind. The jade scroll given to him by Master Immortal Liu didn’t mention anything about it.

The worker took out the spirit herb and placed it on the counter. On the counter was a mystic instrument linked to a jade scroll. This was a special instrument the mortals used to access information contained inside a jade scroll.

After carefully inspecting the spirit herb, the worker said, “It really is a 500-year Void Green Grass. This is used to concoct the Arcane Jade Pellet. According to the sect’s rules, it can be exchanged for 15 contribution points.”

With the 20 contribution points I have left, that adds up to the exact price of a bottle of Blood Solidifying Pellets, Lu Ping thought. “How about spirit herbs used to concoct Blood Condensation Pellets? How many contribution points can I get for those?”

The worker’s eyes brightened up, and he hurriedly said, “Master Immortal, do you have one like that? Those are worth 35 contribution points each. The sect has no limitations on such items, so we can take up every single piece, as many as you have. If you have four or more, that’s worth 5 more contribution points each!”

Lu Ping saw the anticipation on the worker’s face and he cursed these dishonest
