50: Chapter 50 Acquiring Spiritual Materials: Money Flows Like Water

He first went to Qingsha Market, where he sold two thousand catties of High Grade Rank 1 Spirit Rice, nine thousand catties of Medium Grade Rank 1 Spirit Rice, twenty thousand catties of Low Grade Rank 1 Spirit Rice, and three hundred thousand catties of ordinary Spirit Rice.

The price of this Spirit Rice was the same as last time, and he received a total of ten thousand Spirit Stones.

Li Luochen and his companion did not linger and quickly headed towards Beilu Immortal City.

They arrived at Beilu Immortal City via the teleportation array and spent quite a while wandering around before selling all the remaining Spirit Rice.

Because he had brought seven thousand catties of High Grade Rank 1 Spirit Rice, forty-five thousand catties of Medium Grade Rank 1 Spirit Rice, one hundred and eighty thousand catties of Low Grade Rank 1 Spirit Rice, and one million three hundred thousand catties of ordinary Spirit Rice this time, he received a total of fifty-three thousand Spirit Stones.

As for the remaining Spirit Rice, the members of the Li Family needed to eat it, as they were only Cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage and could not yet undergo Foundation Establishment.

Even after breaking through to Foundation Establishment, they could not abstain from food for long and still needed to eat once a month.

Unless they broke through to the Golden Core Stage, it was impossible to completely abstain from food.

Even if one broke through to the Golden Core Stage, they still could not abstain from food for long in an environment without Spiritual Qi.

Therefore, Spirit Rice was of vital importance, and the Family had to keep some, more or less.

However, they had kept enough for a long time this time, and they would decide whether to keep more after the next Spirit Rice harvest depending on the situation.

As for the doubled amount of Low Grade Rank 1 Spirit Rice, it sold for a total of thirty-eight thousand Spirit Stones, which added quite a bit to his purse.

However, since he needed to purchase Five Elements Materials this time, Li Luochen knew that this amount of Spirit Stones might not be enough.

Li Yanhu went to purchase Magical Artifacts, while Li Luochen walked into the Heavenly Treasures Pavilion, which sold Spirit Materials.

Upon entering, Li Luochen released his Early Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation aura; now was not the time to pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger.

After all, he was about to produce so many Spirit Stones, and having only Qi Refining Stage cultivation would not do.

Just as he walked into the Heavenly Treasures Pavilion, an expert at the Early Stage Foundation Establishment came up to greet him.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist. What do you need? I am Wang Zhenyu, the Third Deacon of the Heavenly Treasures Pavilion."

"Fellow Daoist, please follow me; let us discuss this in the VIP room."

After saying this, he led Li Luochen towards the VIP room.

Regardless of anything else, Li Luochen was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, so the proper Face had to be given.

Li Luochen did not refuse and followed the other party to the VIP room.

After the two sat down, Wang Zhenyu asked, "May I ask what kind of Heaven And Earth Treasure you need, Fellow Daoist?"

Li Luochen smiled and said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist. I have come this time to purchase some Five Elements and Yin and Yang Materials; I need both Rank 1 and Rank 2 Materials."

As for Rank 3 Materials, Li Luochen could not afford many, as those were Materials for refining Rank 3 Magic Treasures.

The Heavenly Treasures Pavilion certainly had such Spirit Materials, but they were definitely very precious. If he bought too many, he feared that a Golden Core Stage expert might waylay him.

Therefore, Rank 1 and Rank 2 Five Elements and Yin and Yang Materials were just right and would not appear too flashy.

Wang Zhenyu did not ask any questions and directly introduced: "Five Elements Materials are very common. Low Grade Rank 1 Materials are thirty Spirit Stones per catty, and Medium Grade Rank 1 Materials are one hundred Spirit Stones per catty."

"High Grade Rank 1 Materials are three hundred Spirit Stones per catty, and Top Grade Rank 1 Materials are six hundred Spirit Stones per catty."

"As for Rank 2 Five Elements Materials, Low Grade is one thousand Spirit Stones per catty, Medium Grade is two thousand Spirit Stones per catty, High Grade is three thousand Spirit Stones per catty, and Top Grade is five thousand Spirit Stones per catty."

"Yin and Yang Materials are somewhat expensive, as they are not easy to obtain."

"However, the grades you require are not high, so our Heavenly Treasures Pavilion does have them."

"For Rank 1 Yin and Yang Materials, Low Grade is one hundred Spirit Stones per catty, Medium Grade is three hundred Spirit Stones per catty, High Grade is five hundred Spirit Stones per catty, and Top Grade is eight hundred Spirit Stones per catty."

"For Rank 2 Yin and Yang Materials, Low Grade is one hundred and fifty Spirit Stones per catty, Medium Grade is three thousand Spirit Stones per catty, High Grade is five thousand Spirit Stones per catty, and Top Grade is eight thousand Spirit Stones per catty."

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist, the Spirit Materials at our Heavenly Treasures Pavilion are of good quality, and the prices are quite fair."

Li Luochen nodded slightly; he currently had over one thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones in his possession, which could not be touched.

He had nearly one hundred and forty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones of his own, while the Li Family's Spirit Stones amounted to thirty thousand when they left, plus the remaining twenty thousand from this trip, totaling a little over fifty thousand.

"Let's do this: fifty catties of each Low Grade Rank 1 Five Elements material, thirty catties of each Medium Grade Rank 1 Five Elements material, ten catties of each High Grade Rank 1 Five Elements material, and five catties of each Top Grade Rank 1 Five Elements material."

According to this purchase, the fifty thousand-plus Spirit Stones belonging to the Li Family were completely used up.

Next would be his own Spirit Stones, and Li Luochen felt helpless, as he had not yet purchased the Yin and Yang Materials.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Luochen added, "Give me ten catties of all grades of Rank 1 Yin and Yang Materials."

This cost thirty-four thousand Spirit Stones, which, added to the previously purchased Five Elements Materials, totaled eighty-six thousand five hundred Spirit Stones.

Wang Zhenyu was overjoyed; he had not expected Li Luochen to purchase so many Rank 1 Spirit Materials, and he had definitely made a huge profit this time.

"Fellow Daoist, is that all? Is there anything else you need?"

Li Luochen gritted his teeth and said, "For Rank 2 Five Elements Materials, give me two catties of each grade."

Wang Zhenyu's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Very well, that adds up to a total of one hundred and ninety-six thousand five hundred Spirit Stones. Is there anything else you need, Fellow Daoist?"

Li Luochen smiled bitterly and said, "Fellow Daoist, I have almost been hollowed out."

Hearing this, Wang Zhenyu could not help but smile and say, "You are joking, Fellow Daoist. I will go and prepare the items for you right away."

Watching Wang Zhenyu leave, Li Luochen felt heartbroken; he now had less than one thousand one hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones left.

Although the Family still had fifty thousand Spirit Stones, those could not be touched. It seemed that expanding the Secret Realm would have to wait for a few years.

After waiting for a moment, Wang Zhenyu returned, carrying a Storage Pouch in his hand.

"Fellow Daoist, please check it."

Li Luochen took the Storage Pouch and scanned the Five Elements and Yin and Yang Spirit Materials inside with his Divine Sense, nodding in satisfaction.

"Fellow Daoist, there is no problem. Here are the Spirit Stones."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a pile of Spirit Stones appeared before him, mixed with dozens of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

After Wang Zhenyu counted them and confirmed there was no issue, he smiled and said, "No problem. If you have any other needs in the future, Fellow Daoist, feel free to come to my Heavenly Treasures Pavilion."

"Even if our Heavenly Treasures Pavilion in Beilu Immortal City does not have it, we can have it transferred from other Immortal Cities."

Li Luochen nodded and said, "Very well, then thank you."

After chatting with the other party for a few more sentences, Li Luochen finally understood the vastness of the Heavenly Treasures Pavilion.

It was a colossus that spanned the continental Cultivation World and the overseas Cultivation World; the Heavenly Treasures Pavilion could obtain many resources that other merchant associations could not.

Furthermore, their main business was Heaven And Earth Treasures, and they did not touch Magic Treasures, Medicinal Pills, or Spirit Talismans at all.

Precisely because of this, they did not have much conflict with those industries and were even suppliers for them, which was why they continued to grow larger and larger.

After learning about this colossus, Li Luochen felt a sense of longing in his heart and wondered when the Li Family would be able to become that powerful.

However, he quickly suppressed this thought; the Li Family was still too weak right now, and they had to take it slow.

It would not be long before he broke through to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, and he hoped that Li Yanzhong and the others could grow up quickly; they needed to become a Foundation Establishment Family first before anything else.

Wang Zhenyu was also a talkative person, and he told Li Luochen many inside stories.
