34: Taobao Street Peiyuandan
"Come, come, come, take a look!"
"Freshly made Body Tempering Pill, excellent quality, first come, first served!"
"Don't miss out as you pass by, High Grade Hundred Spirit Paste, just out of the oven, only fifty taels of silver."
"Body Tempering Muscle Paste, strengthens the body, greatly enhances martial arts, don't miss it."
"High Grade Spirit Medicine Fire Spirit Fruit, excellent quality and low price, take a look."
"Black Jade Continual Paste, a Saint Grade healing medicine, just out of the oven, don't miss it."
...Entering the treasure hunting area, a burst of noisy sounds came.
With individual hawking sounds, Han Li had a feeling of stepping into a vegetable market.
Advanced selling methods are often so simple and unadorned.
Han Li's gaze swept over the items on the stalls on both sides: bottles and jars, as well as some spirit fruits and Spirit Medicine, some of which he didn't even recognize.
"Brother, do you want Body Tempering Muscle Paste?"
A voice came, and Han Li looked over to see a Disciple in green clothes holding a small jar and looking at him.
Inside the jar was a dark, murky substance, which at first glance looked like black mud, and a pungent odor emanated from it.
"No, I don't need it." Han Li shook his head.
Body Tempering Muscle Paste is a medicinal paste used for Body Tempering Realm Cultivation, but for him, the improvement it offered was too small, not even comparable to a Tiger Soul Pill.
"I have other things, what do you need?" The Disciple remained persistent, continuing to vigorously promote his products.
Han Li gently shook his head and continued to go deeper. Seeing this, the Disciple's face showed a hint of disappointment, but he didn't chase after Han Li.
One could promote their products, but not force a sale.
This was the rule.
Otherwise, the consequence would be a collective attack... This street in the treasure hunting area was quite long.
Besides Han Li, many other Disciples also came here to hunt for treasures.
Han Li walked and looked.
He was not in a hurry; he had patience.
After strolling around, Han Li arrived at a stall.
The person selling the items was a tall, thin young man, with a robust aura, a Vein Opening Realm Inner Sect Disciple.
Han Li stopped and squatted down to look at the items on the stall in front of the young man.
Several bottles and jars were arranged, each with a label attached.
Han Li's gaze landed on one of the bottles.
This was a bottle of Medicinal Pills, Peiyuan Pill.
This was a more potent Medicinal Pill than the Tiger Soul Pill.
It was suitable for both Body Tempering Realm and Vein Opening Realm.
Peiyuan Pill was not as fiercely potent as the Tiger Soul Pill; on the contrary, it was extremely gentle.
Using Peiyuan Pill for martial arts Cultivation also yielded very good results.
However, this Medicinal Pill had strong medicinal power, and an ordinary Body Tempering Realm practitioner would find it difficult to absorb.
But for him, it was very suitable for his current Cultivation.
Ordinary Body Tempering Realm Medicinal Pills could no longer satisfy his needs.
Peiyuan Pill, that was very fitting.
"What do you need?"
The tall, thin young man spoke, looking at Han Li.
"How much for the Peiyuan Pill?" Han Li asked.
"Standard price, forty-eight taels of silver per pill. If you buy many, there can be a suitable discount."
"Merit points can also be used for transactions, forty-eight merit points per pill."
The tall, thin young man stated the price.
Han Li narrowed his eyes slightly.
He knew the price of this type of Medicinal Pill; it was generally fifty taels of silver per pill in pharmacies.
Han Li had only looked at it before but had not purchased it.
Forty-eight taels of silver, two taels less per pill, was a good deal.
"My Medicinal Pills are of very good quality. Peiyuan Pill costs at least fifty taels elsewhere." Seeing Han Li remain silent, the tall, thin young man said.
"Are all these Medicinal Pills refined by Senior Brother himself?" Han Li asked the young man.
Other than self-refined Medicinal Pills, others couldn't be this cheap.
"Yes." The tall, thin young man nodded.
"Can I take a look first?" Han Li spoke again.
The tall, thin young man frowned slightly but still nodded.
"You can."
Han Li then picked up the bottle containing the Peiyuan Pill and opened it.
Inside the bottle, round Medicinal Pills appeared before his eyes, and a special medicinal fragrance wafted into his nose.
Han Li poured out one pill, examined it carefully. It was a white Medicinal Pill, warm and smooth like jade, with very clear patterns visible on it.
It wasn't a top-grade, but at least it was High Grade.
After smelling the medicinal fragrance, Han Li felt it was fine.
He looked at the tall, thin young man and said, "Senior Brother, what is the exact discount I can get?"
"That depends on how many you want," the tall, thin young man replied.
Han Li looked at the Peiyuan Pills in the bottle; each was full and round, and the quality was all High Grade.
"How many are here?" Han Li asked after looking at the bottle.
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, the tall, thin young man glanced at Han Li, feeling surprised in his heart, but still said:
"There are forty-eight Peiyuan Pills left here in total."
"Forty-eight pills..."
"I'll take them all. How much of a discount can I get?" Han Li asked.
"You want all of them?" The tall, thin young man was slightly stunned.
"Yes." Han Li nodded.
Upon receiving Han Li's confirmation, the tall, thin young man's heart trembled slightly.
He quickly regained his composure: "If you can take them all at once, I can give you a price of forty-five taels of silver per pill. This is the lowest price."
"Forty-five taels of silver..."
Han Li squinted, calculated in his mind, and then looked at the bottle: "Okay, I'll take them all."
After speaking, a glimmer of light flashed in Han Li's hand, and several silver notes appeared in his grasp. In addition to the silver notes, there were also gold leaves and some silver.
"You count them."
Han Li handed the silver notes, gold leaves, and silver to the young man.
The tall, thin young man checked the silver notes and gold leaves, then counted the silver, returning a few taels to Han Li and keeping the rest.
Han Li then put the bottle of Peiyuan Pill into his hundred treasure sack.
With the transaction complete, the tall, thin young man's gaze towards Han Li softened considerably, and a smile appeared on his face: "Junior Brother, do you need anything else?"
Han Li glanced around, shook his head, "Not for now, just these."
With that, Han Li stood up.
Seeing this, the tall, thin young man also stood up: "Junior Brother, wait, these few Tiger Soul Pills are my gift to you. If you need anything next time, you can contact me. This is my address."
Saying that, the tall, thin young man handed over a small white card with a name and an address on it.
Han Li glanced at it; the name on it was Chen Yuan, and the address was Pill Refining Peak.
One of the Thirty-Six Veins.
Han Li didn't stand on ceremony, accepted the Tiger Soul Pills and the business card, and nodded: "Okay, no problem. I'll find you if I need anything next time."
The tall, thin young man smiled, "What is Junior Brother's name?"
"Yuhua Peak, Han Li!"
After stating his name, Han Li immediately left.
At the stall, the tall, thin young man was stunned.
Yuhua Peak, Han Li?!
This guy is a Disciple of Yuhua Peak?!
That's not right. The weakest in Yuhua Peak are all Tōngmài Realm Peak, and the others are all Innate. How come I don't remember anyone named Han Li?
Could it be a newly recruited Disciple?
To be accepted as a Disciple by Feng Taixu, it seems this guy is no ordinary person!
Thousands of thoughts ran through his mind. By the time the tall, thin young man came back to his senses, Han Li had already disappeared from view... After purchasing the Peiyuan Pill, Han Li left the treasure hunting area.
More than forty Peiyuan Pills were enough for his Cultivation.
He estimated that after absorbing them all, he might not have much trouble Breaking through to the Vein Opening Realm.
Leaving Qingyuan Market, Han Li was about to return when a voice came from not far away.
"Oh, are you Han Li?"
An uncertain voice came from not far away. Han Li stopped and looked, and two graceful figures appeared in his sight.
One in green, one in blue.
Han Li looked at one of the women and was slightly startled.
Just then, the two women arrived in front of him.
A wisp of fragrance assailed him, and Han Li instantly regained his composure.
He looked at the two women.
One of them was Yang Qi, who had entered the sect with him, possessing an excellent talent.
Han Li didn't recognize the other, but sensing her Qi, she should be an Inner Sect Disciple.
"It really is you, what a coincidence." Yang Qi said, looking at Han Li.
"It is quite a coincidence." Han Li nodded.
"This is my Senior Sister, Senior Sister Jinlian." Yang Qi introduced.
"Hello, Senior Sister Pan." (Mistake in the original text, as the name is Jinlian, not Pan Jinlian)
Han Li nodded.
Woman: "..."
Yang Qi: "..."
"Her Senior Sister is just named Jinlian, what 'Senior Sister Pan'?" Yang Qi rolled her eyes at Han Li.
Shouldn't everyone named Jinlian have the surname Pan?
Seeing the expressions of the two women, Han Li quickly came to his senses: "...Uh, I'm sorry, I thought Senior Sister's surname was Pan."
"..."
"Why did you come to the market?" Yang Qi asked.
"To buy some things, I have other matters, see you later." Han Li finished speaking and scurried away.
Two women: "..."
"Why is he running so fast? I don't eat people." Yang Qi pouted, looking at Han Li's disappearing figure.
"Junior Sister, let's go, let's go into the market first." At this moment, Senior Sister Jin spoke. Yang Qi withdrew her gaze, nodded, and then the two women entered the market.
