The price of the Foundation Establishment Elixir was already skyrocketing. Some noble cultivation families that had been prepared for it were trying their best to control the outflow of the Foundation Establishment Elixir while raising the price. Even the Yuan City Market near the Tianling Sect had its price rise to 50000 spirit stones.
It was because the cultivators from other places had found that the price of the Foundation Establishment Elixirs in the Yuan City Market hadn't increased by a shocking amount. They had used their connections or traveled thousands of miles to come here.
The arrival of these cultivators caused the price of the Foundation Establishment Elixirs to rise by another 5000 spirit stones.
After all, demand determines the market.
The situation also delighted the people in the Yuan City Market. The cultivators of the Tianling Sect didn't really need the Foundation Establishment Elixirs and made the elixirs they had hoarded in advance useless.
Cultivators like Xu Jing, who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage, were rare.
Although Xu Jing earned less money by setting array formations than people did by refining elixirs, it was still better than working for the Tianling Sect! Otherwise, Xu Jing would have needed more time to save 30000 spiritual stones.
However, the people in charge of Yuan City Market only be delighted for two days before they found that they couldn't sell the Foundation Establishment Elixirs they had.
"What's going on?"
The Qin family had directly sent someone to question him.
The Qin family naturally occupied a part of Yuan City Market. Although most of the business was with Qi Condensation stage cultivators, they had earned a lot of spirit stones every year!
After all, it was near the Tianling Sect, one of the six great immortal sects of Nine Desolations!
It caused the people sent by the Qin family to be extremely puzzled. Even if the prices in the markets in other places rose to 70000 to 80000 spirit stones, not only were they able to sell them, but they were also in short supply. Why couldn't Yuan City Market sell it for 50000 spirit stones?
Since the people sent by the owner had arrived, the person in charge of the Qin family's business in the Yuan City Market naturally didn't dare to delay and quickly went to gather information. It wasn't a secret and even caused chaos in the Tianling Sect. Therefore, the person in the Qin family in charge of the Yuan City Market only needed one Qi and Soul Replenish Elixir to know the whole story.
"What kind of a cowardly alchemist is he?!" When the person in charge of the Qin family's business in the Yuan City Market heard it, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but curse.
Upon hearing his words, the Qi Condensation stage disciple of the Tianling Sect who had received the Qi and Soul Replenish Elixir from him was unhappy. He replied with a gloomy expression, "Martial Uncle Fang is a kind person. What are you saying?"
Although he was only ranked 5 in the Qi Condensation stage and didn't need the Foundation Establishment Elixir, he still admired a kind person like "Martial Uncle Fang."
After all, even when the price of the Foundation Establishment Elixir was skyrocketing, "Martial Uncle Fang" was still selling it for 30000 spirit stones. He even introduced the method of exchanging spiritual items.
As long as cultivators took out the spiritual item that "Martial Uncle Fang" wanted, cultivators could sell it for 50% higher than the market price.
In other words, a spiritual item that was originally worth 20000 spirit stones could be exchanged for a Foundation Establishment Elixir from "Martial Uncle Fang."
Regarding spirit stones, each disciple who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage might not have many with them, but they might have one or two special spiritual items.
After all, no one was willing to sell good things. They were all kept for their use.
The person in charge of the Qin family's business in the Yuan City Market was embarrassed. Although he was a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, he didn't dare to attack a Qi Condensation stage disciple in the Tianling Sect.
Moreover, people like him paid particular attention to amiability to make money.
Even a disciple who ranked 1 in the Qi Condensation stage could be rude to him as long as he could benefit him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become the person in charge of the Qin family's business in the Yuan City Market.
It was a lucrative job!
Thus, the person in charge of the Qin family's business in the Yuan City Market excused himself and hurried back to report.
Several other people in charge of other family businesses in the Yuan City Market were also making similar inquiries and reports. After all, it wasn't just the Qin family that was affected by the lack of Foundation Establishment Elixirs in Yuan City Market.
As a result, Fang Jinyu's name spread throughout the Tianling Sect, and many people knew about him as the eccentric alchemist.
Of course, Fang Jinyu had already explained the reason for his actions.
"I pitied my fellow disciples for their hard cultivation. This time, the explosive increase in the price of the Foundation Establishment Elixirs is not beneficial to the Tianling Sect. My father and mother also sacrificed themselves for the Tianling Sect when they were alive. It just so happens that I've made a lot of Foundation Establishment Elixirs, which is why I'm selling them at such a low price."
Meanwhile, Fang Jinyu was meeting the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster at Mount Guiwang.
The meeting was because Fang Jinyu had sold too many Foundation Establishment Elixirs at a low price. He had given out more than 100 elixirs, so the number of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the Tianling Sect had increased by more than ten.
As for the others, it wasn't that they had failed to break through the Foundation Establishment stage but rather that they were still making preparations.
After all, the Foundation Establishment Elixirs were created for cultivators to help them break through the Foundation Establishment stage. As long as one had triple-element spirit roots, there was a high chance of success with the help of a Foundation Establishment Elixir! However, there was still a chance of failure. If cultivators failed, the bottleneck to breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage would become even more solid.
At that time, one Foundation Establishment Elixir would definitely not be able to help cultivators breakthrough. Cultivators would need at least three.
Fang Jinyu's words were far too grand. If it had been anyone else, the Nascent Soul stage grandmaster would not have believed him. However, when Fang Jinyu said it, even the nascent Soul Stage Grandmaster of the Tianling Sect couldn't help but believe him.
It was because of the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster's impression of the former Fang Jinyu's father. If the former Fang Jinyu's father hadn't been so honest and stuck to his decision, he wouldn't have died.
"You..."
The Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster found it funny and continuously shook his head. He said, "You'll get into a lot of trouble if you do it. You might even be seen as a thorn in other people's sides. I've helped you suppress it this time, but next time…."
At this point, the youthful-looking Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster was at a loss for words.
After all, the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster naturally hoped to have more disciples like Fang Jinyu.
The Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where did you get those Foundation Establishment Fruits?" After all, the various immortal sects controlled strategic resources like the Foundation Establishment Fruits. It was normal for a few Foundation Establishment Fruits to appear occasionally, but for dozens of them to appear all at once was a little off.
"My two elder brothers found a thousand-year-old Foundation Establishment Fruit tree." Fang Jinyu didn't hesitate to reveal the secret of his two "sworn brothers."
When the Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster heard it, he instantly became angry, but he didn't say anything.
After all, it was a personal opportunity.
Even though he was in the Nascent Soul stage, it wasn't appropriate for him to snatch it unless the other party wasn't from the Tianling Sect. Moreover, the Jade Falcon Myna and the three black spirit pigs could be considered half of his disciples.
"It seems that your talent in alchemy is outstanding." The Nascent Soul stage Grandmaster nodded and took out a prescription and a green Hundred-Treasure Box.
"I heard that you're interested in refining the Core Spirit Elixir. In that case, I'll give you this prescription. It contained some insights from a Holy Alchemist. As for the box… I'm sure you're no stranger to it. There are 12 Authentic Core Fruits inside, and I'll also give them to you. You have done a great job for the Tianling Sect."
"Thank you so much, Grandmaster!"
