Chapter 129: Chapter 94: Getting Rich and Rising Above Moderate Prosperity

This is, after all, the territory of Clearing Void Sect, and the method proposed by the Master sounds quite feasible. Upon hearing this, the tense atmosphere among the crowd slowly dissipated into nothingness, as it was apparent that the Loose Cultivators were also willing to accept this arrangement.

The initial asking price for Ning Xiaoxian’s Foundation Establishment Pill was one hundred and twenty Spirit Stones each. This price was mediocre and typical for a Foundation Establishment Pill. However, once the Loose Cultivators sat down to start bidding, the price changed drastically.

The first pill’s price was instantly raised to one hundred and ninety Spirit Stones, and it slowly climbed to a final transaction price of two hundred and twenty Spirit Stones. The second pill was sold for a similar price, around two hundred and forty Spirit Stones approximately.

Those shrewd and cunning, focused their efforts on the bidding of the first two Foundation Establishment Pills. The winners, looking at others, couldn’t help but feel a sense of superiority—what a bunch of idiots!

Indeed, when it came to the third and fourth Foundation Establishment Pills bidding, the slaughter became brutal. The third pill was taken by a purple-faced cultivator; it’s unclear if his face was naturally that color, or if it turned purple from being choked during the bidding process, as the final price was a whole three hundred Spirit Stones!

However, when he saw the selling situation of the fourth Foundation Establishment Pill, he must have felt much more relieved. The bidding was unprecedentedly fierce, as everyone realized something—this was the last potent Foundation Establishment Pill available, and after this, there would be no more.

Therefore, after several rounds of fierce competition, a middle-aged cultivator gritted his teeth, paid the Spirit Stones, and acquired this pill, which was as precious as life to him. The last one sold for three hundred and eighty Spirit Stones, shocking everyone present.

In fact, everyone clearly calculated the cost in their minds. Even if a good Foundation Establishment Pill could increase the chance by fifty percent, if the price was too high, it would be better to buy a common Foundation Establishment Pill for a little over a hundred Silver Taels; at worst, endure more broken meridians and more suffering... one would eventually succeed in Foundation Establishment. Spending over four hundred Spirit Stones on this potent Foundation Establishment Pill wouldn’t be worth it.

If today’s offerings were Golden Core Pills or Nascent Soul Pills used by Golden Core cultivators to strike at the Nascent Soul Realm, frankly speaking, these Loose Cultivators would not have a chance to compete. The bidders sitting down would have to be replaced by elders of various Immortal Sects. After all, the chances of forming a Golden Core or a Nascent Soul are much smaller compared to Foundation Establishment. Out of ten thousand cultivators, six thousand can establish their foundation, but only less than one hundred can successfully form a Golden Core; and later, only one or two can form a Nascent Soul.

What’s more frightening is, if one fails in forming a Golden Core or a Nascent Soul, one must suffer the punishment of a damaged Divine Soul. Human Divine Souls are profoundly mysterious, and once damaged, they are hundreds of times harder to heal than physical injuries!

The elixirs find their new owners, and the dust settles.

Watching the turmoil caused by this round of Foundation Establishment Pills gradually calm down, and with no excitement left to watch, the crowd dispersed. Ning Xiaoxian waited for the venue to return to normal before she went to the recommendation area to collect her money. The disciple of Clearing Void Sect responsible for handling the sellers looked her up and down, still unable to believe that the few Foundation Establishment Pills that nearly caused a violent incident were sold by this mortal young girl!

Unwilling to explain further, she took the money and left, leaving behind several contemplative gazes. The Master of Clearing Void Sect stationed here knew that this girl would come again, as another type of medicine she consigned here— the Soul Reviving Guide, had not yet been sold. If her seemingly ordinary Foundation Establishment Pills had such miraculous effects, what about the Soul Reviving Guide?

This medicine, they have not been able to identify the results since it’s unprecedented, with no past experiences to judge from. The disciple in charge of sales had no choice but to add a sign next to the Elixir, writing down the effects of the medicine as explained by Ning Xiaoxian. Whoever trusts this, feel free to buy it. Because of the high price—priced at eleven hundred Spirit Stones per pill, no one has inquired yet.

The fifteen Foundation Establishment Pills were sold for a total of two thousand four hundred sixty Spirit Stones.

Ning Xiaoxian feigned being calm but actually, when receiving the Spirit Stones, her hands were shaking—this was truly a windfall. If you think this number is not impressive enough, do not forget that the exchange rate between Spirit Stones and Silver was a staggering one to one thousand. Converted into Silver Taels, that would be a solid two million four hundred sixty thousand Silver Taels!

She had been working hard every day for a month, earning just over 110,000 Silver Taels in total, including the cost of materials; and look at Changtian, who only labored for three two-hour periods, refined four batches of elixirs, and earned more than twenty times more than her. Not to mention, those eight Soul Revival Pills haven’t even been sold yet! This just goes to show, comparing yourself with others will only bring death, and competing goods will just be discarded. Alchemy, when deeply mastered, is indeed a lucrative profession that helps elevate one’s financial status beyond simply being well-off.
