Zhen Yinjian snickered as he took out a blue and white porcelain bottle, opened the red silk bottle and handed it over to the skinny old man.

Tong Manager took the porcelain bottle and saw that there were five pills inside. Each of them was round and plump, with strange patterns on the surface, and even released a faint fragrance. In just an instant, Goateed Old Man's face changed drastically. He gasped, and exclaimed:

"Are you sure this is for sale?"

Zhen Yinjian's face trembled, he also wanted to see what this old man had to say, so he followed him.

"What's wrong with our manager?" Why did I bring such a little kid to the top floor today? This is the most honorable guest of our apricot leaf, is he even worthy of being treated like this? " The fat man pouted, very dissatisfied.

"Our shopkeeper is a veteran, don't tell me he wants you to teach him how to do business?" The other guy didn't want to deal with the fat guy, so he laughed and ridiculed him.

"You …" The fat man was at a loss for words and didn't know how to explain himself.

At this moment, only the third shop assistant revealed a puzzled expression. Why did he feel that the fragrance of the 'Spring Pill' in the room was getting stronger and stronger? Moreover, it was emitting an indescribable fragrance.

"Sit here, sit here. Let me brew a cup of tea for you." Tong Manager smiled like a fox.

With a mouthful of fragrant tea and hot water, and a fragrance lingering in his nose and entering his stomach, Zhen Yinjian slowly asked.

"Shopkeeper, we won't miss anything. I still have seven or eight wives waiting for me at home." I'm very busy, you know. "

"Yes, yes, yes. My first glance is for Young Master to feel that he is extraordinary and has an extraordinary bearing. It must be the Hidden Dragon in the Abyss. Sooner or later, he will do something big." The old man continued to flatter, his laughter as unpleasant as an old crow's.

"En, not bad. Tong Manager Manager is an experienced person after all. Then can you tell me what's going on with this Earth Quality Spring-Returning Pill? "

"You don't know?" Goateed Old Man looked surprised.

"What do I know? I am from no sect, and I don't have a teacher to guide me." I just sold your basket of pills, and this bottle of pills in your hands, it's all made by me for the second time, how would I know what a Earth Grade Medicinal Pill is? " Zhen Yinjian spread open his hands with an innocent look on his face.

"F * ck, he's too arrogant! How infuriating!" This old man has never seen such a shameless person! " Tong Manager's beard trembled. He endured until his fingers started to itch, wishing that he could beat this brat up.

In his heart, he felt that this young man was simply arrogant to the extreme. What no sect, no school, no teacher … He was able to concoct an Earth rank pill on his second try.

"If you are my grandson and you dare to act so arrogantly, I will arrest you and beat you up!"

Coughing twice, the old man continued to smile patiently. He thought so in his heart, but how could he dare to offend such an outstanding young man?

After all, it was normal for youngsters to be a bit arrogant, so he comforted himself in his heart.

"Let me first explain to little brother what a Earth Grade Medicinal Pill is. The Pill King, Sun Siniang, had once argued that pills were divided into three categories: trash pill, pellet, pellet, pellet, earth pellet, and heaven pellet. "In general, there is almost no circulation on the trash pill market, and lower, middle, and upper graded pills can be seen in the medicine stores or pill pavilions."

The old man paused and took a sip of tea before continuing.

"Low-rank medicinal pills are the worst. Medium-rank medicinal pills are the best. High-rank medicinal pills are already considered top quality in a small city like our own. They are considered the most valuable treasures in the shop and are generally not for sale."

"Why don't you sell the Earth grade and Heaven grade pills?" Zhen Yinjian tried his best to pose a questionable attitude, but the old man's eyebrows twitched.

"Cough cough, it's not that we don't want to, but no one wants to sell it." Any Earth Grade or above pill, even a Mortal Grade, would have a great value. Without even mentioning the superior medicinal properties of the pill, who knows how many other master alchemists it would attract! " The old man said while stroking his breath.

"Why is that? A mortal rank pill is not only useful to mortals. All pill refiners are experts with Congenital Stage or higher, how could they even need such a thing?" Zhen Yinjian did not understand.

"Not really, not really." The old man was immediately brought out to chat, smiling and stroking his beard.

"As soon as the pill enters the Earth rank, the Celestial Emperor bestows it. It was said that even the lowest level Earth Grade Medicinal Pill would have pill patterns on them. This was a reward bestowed by the ancient Pill Emperor who created the Dao of alchemy. If a Pill Refiner could master these, the rules of the Heaven rank pill could improve their pill refining skills. "This opportunity is extremely rare. I wonder how many pill refiners would have such a chance in their entire lives."

"So that's how it is. So what's the difference between this Earth rank pill and the Heaven rank pill?" Zhen Yinjian asked curiously.

"Even if you ask the right person, the Earth Grade Medicinal Pill's special characteristic is that it becomes non-toxic. It does not have the slightest bit of residue or poison, and is completely harmless to the human body. It must be known that many people consume too many pills, resulting in their bodies to become weak and their cultivation to encounter shackles. This is extremely terrifying for both mortals and cultivators. " The old man said with a smile.

"Also, Heaven rank pill's medicinal properties are the same as Earth Grade Medicinal Pill's. The difference was on the surface. The Earth Grade Medicinal Pill's medicine was rich, and as long as it was just a little bit, it would fill the entire hall with its fragrance, which was extremely easy to identify. As for Heaven rank pill s, it was said that they could emit light from the sky and emit radiation for a few miles, making them even more terrifying. Furthermore, based on the medicinal effects, these two pills have the characteristics of pill patterns, and their medicinal effects are several times or even ten times stronger than high-grade pills! "

Hearing the old man's answer, Zhen Yinjian finally understood why the Tong Manager would be so courteous to him.

"Little brother, are you really going to sell this pill? It has to be said that an Earth rank pill is extremely difficult to refine. Next time, you might not even be able to refine one! " At this moment, the old man realized that he had actually comforted him a bit.

"It's fine, it's fine. This thing is easy to refine, it's not a problem." Zhen Yinjian shook his hands, this thing was not difficult for him at all. After practicing in the space of the "Pill Formation Practice Field" for so long, he could already guarantee that 20% of the Earth Grade Medicinal Pill would succeed!

"Alright, I'll buy this Earth rank Spring Restoration Pill then." According to the market price, Earth Grade Mortal pills and pellets were worth a hundred Spirit Gold. I will accept these five pellets at the market price of twenty percent more. " The old man's eyebrows twitched as he spoke with a smile.

"Alright, I'll listen to the arrangements of the old mister." Zhen Yinjian was not afraid of the Tong Manager trying to harm him, he had the ability to produce this pill on a large scale. If the old man managed to hurt him, there would be no cooperation next time.

This old man was a businessman. Naturally, he understood this principle.

Spirit Gold s were cultivators' hard currency, and their exchange rate was almost between 1: 10 thousand silver. However, Spirit Gold s could often exchange for even more silver, but they could very rarely exchange for enough Spirit Gold. After all, Spirit Gold were things that were much more precious.

Receiving the one hundred and twenty Spirit Gold s from the Goateed Old Man, Zhen Yinjian curiously looked at them. Spirit Gold s were a type of currency used by cultivators. They were only the size of a grain of rice, and their surface emitted a golden luster. A Spirit Gold on the other hand, was placed in the palm of his hand. Furthermore, every single Spirit Gold was very standard and looked like they had been treated.

Even if a hundred Spirit Gold were to fall into his hands, they would only be the size of a bag. However, they were abnormally heavy, and it would be a little difficult for a normal person to hold them.

"Shopkeeper, I'll be leaving now. I'll come find you for a new deal." Zhen Yinjian stood up and wanted to leave, but he had stayed in apricot leaf for a long time already.

"Wait a moment!" The old man interrupted him, turned around and took out a jade token from a box, and handed it over to him.

As Zhen Yinjian held onto the jade tablet, he realized that it was not heavy, and it felt cool in his palm. The four corners of the jade tablet were carved with beautiful cloud patterns, and in the center, there was even an ancient talisman with the word "Zun" written on it.

"This is our apricot leaf's guest pass, it's only given to important guests. In the future, when you have this badge, all apricot leaf within Hundred Cities will enjoy the treatment of a respected guest. The old man looked at him with a smile.

Zhen Yinjian thanked his and then left. In his heart, he was no longer dissatisfied with the Tong Manager. Taking this "Esteemed Guest Order" would allow him to enjoy a 10% discount in apricot leaf, this was pretty good.

Looking at the distant figure of the young man, Tong Manager who was used to seeing so many storms felt his blood pumping. He did not expect to meet such a talented alchemist genius. To him, it would be very convenient to befriend such a person in the future.

Carrying over two hundred thousand taels of silver and an even more valuable Spirit Gold, Zhen Yinjian was elated. This was the first time he felt that refining pellets was indeed a promising profession.

Although this thing burned a lot of money, the profits were also great. Thinking about it, he only spent 40,000 taels of silver to earn more than 200,000 taels of silver. Furthermore, this was the profit from concocting pills in one go, not to mention the even more precious Spirit Gold s.

He was a little envious of the great pill masters; could it be that the pill masters in the Immortal Dao Realm were all of such high status, and they all possessed methods to make money, regardless of which sect they were from.

Zhen Yinjian did not know what happened, but the reality was different from what he had imagined. Alchemists, especially low level alchemists, were the most expensive jobs, the least profitable ones. In the early stages, he needed to invest a huge amount of wealth to be able to enter the sect, which was not as profitable as he had imagined.

If not for the system's help, he would not have been able to concoct the high-grade, or even the high-grade Earth rank Spring-Returning Pill that easily!
