Chapter 21 Entering the Alchemy Hall
After leaving Tongan Inn, Yu Changsheng sighed.
Although he felt a little sad that twenty spirit stones were borrowed, compared with other brothers in the family who cheated their father, his uncle at least did not go too far. If he used all the spirit stones without leaving any, he would probably turn his face on the spot.
"Forget it, it's only twenty spirit stones anyway, and I can make it back by selling one more spirit chicken king."
Yu Changsheng thought to himself that he should trouble the family less in the future, otherwise his father would have a hard time. As the patriarch, he had to take all aspects into consideration.
"Since I'm here, I'll sell this spirit chicken first. It's been four or five days, and no one should be able to contact the little errand boy in the spirit chicken farm."
Yu Changsheng thought, walked to an empty alley, and summoned a spirit chicken from the spirit beast bag.
This spirit chicken is smaller than other spirit chickens, less than half a meter, and the two pairs of small wings next to it look very cute.
It fell to the ground with its eyes wide open. It was obviously observing the outside world and didn't know that it was about to be sold.
"Come, have one last meal of spiritual rice."
Recently, Yu Changsheng has been living a rich life. Unlike other poor servants who eat grains without spiritual energy or fasting pills, he eats spiritual rice every day.
One pound of this spiritual rice costs one low-grade spiritual stone. At his current level, he only needs 100 grains per meal. Eating it continuously for a month can increase a lot of mana. It is considered a cost-effective tonic food for Qi-refining cultivators.
After eating the spiritual rice, the spiritual chicken rubbed Yu Changsheng's palm happily.
[Spirit Beast Transformation]
[Spirit Chicken → Spirit Chicken King]
[Required Essence: 445]
"Transform!"
Yu Changsheng's mind moved, and the essence was deducted instantly.
When the feathers of the spiritual chicken turned fiery red, the transformation was successful. It crowed excitedly and circled around him several times.
"Okay, let's go back."
Yu Changsheng smiled and put it back into the spiritual beast bag, then put on the hood and mask, activated the camouflage beads, and his cultivation level rose to the peak of Qi Refining.
"I hope to sell a few more spirit stones."
His eyes sank, and he soon came to the Ten Thousand Beasts Building.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Building was simply decorated, just like a pet store. Every one meter, there was a wooden fence surrounding a frame, in which iron cages and monsters were placed, and the race, realm, and price of the monsters were marked.
"Does this immortal have a favorite monster?"
As soon as he entered the store, a female cultivator with delicate features, a sweet smile, and a blue long skirt noticed him and came to greet him.
Yu Changsheng glanced at her and said, "I'm here to sell beasts. I wonder if your building will accept spirit chicken kings?"
The female cultivator in the blue skirt was stunned, and then said happily, "Yes, please come this way, immortal."
Spirit chickens are common, but spirit chicken kings are not common. They are not only very popular among Qi-refining cultivators, but even foundation-building masters like this kind of blood food.
He came to a room where there was a breeder who specialized in cultivating spirit beasts.
After Yu Changsheng released the spirit chicken king, the other party observed and evaluated its feathers and combs, but did not touch it.
Because it is well known that spiritual animals such as spiritual chickens are picky and have bad tempers, and strangers who meet them will inevitably slap them when they touch them.
"Daoyou, this spiritual chicken king has been well cultivated. It is young enough and the meat quality is excellent. But judging from its appearance, it should have just metamorphosed not long ago."
The breeder tentatively quoted a price: "Forty-six low-grade spiritual stones, what do you think?"
"Too low, you should know that the younger the spiritual chicken king is, the rarer it is." Yu Changsheng shook his head.
"But the spiritual energy contained in the flesh and blood is also low." The breeder tried to argue.
"Fifty-five low-grade spiritual stones, if it is less than this number, I will go out to set up a stall to sell, and there will always be people who like it." Yu Changsheng said calmly.
If it is not for the fear of trouble, setting up a stall can also earn more spiritual stones.
Sure enough, when the other party heard this, he hesitated and agreed.
One hand handed over the money, and the other hand handed over the chicken.
The spiritual chicken king struggled to be locked in the iron cage, and there seemed to be a kind of disbelief in his eyes.
"If you have more Spirit Chicken Kings to ship in the future, you can come again." The breeder said with a smile.
Yu Changsheng nodded, did not look at the Spirit Chicken King, turned around and left the Ten Thousand Beasts Building.
After raising it for more than a month, he had some feelings for it, but he could not care about its feelings for the spirit stones.
"More than 370 low-grade spirit stones should be enough!"
Yu Changsheng returned to the wooden house, counted the spirit stones, and went to the Alchemy Hall with a smile on his face.
The Alchemy Hall is located on the main peak of the sect and is the main activity place for the sect disciples outside the five inheritance mountains.
There are not only four halls for teaching the four arts of cultivating immortals, but also a task pavilion for receiving tasks, a library for storing various spells, and a ring for sect disciples to fight and gamble, and a puppet fighting tower to test their abilities.
Yu Changsheng was wearing a gray robe for menials, and he was very conspicuous when walking here. Some curious outer disciples would look at him from time to time.
After all, servants have a low status in the main peak and are easily bullied by outer disciples. They usually stay in the outer peak to do work and have no time and energy to come here.
The Alchemy Hall is divided into two parts, one is the outer hall for ordinary disciples to learn alchemy and store spiritual medicine, and the other is the inner hall for some alchemy masters to communicate, study, and teach.
When Yu Changsheng came to the outer hall of alchemy and reported his purpose, the blue-robed steward who managed here was obviously surprised.
"Alchemy, you?"
That expression almost said, do you, a servant, have spiritual stones? Do you know how much it costs to make a pill?
But when Yu Changsheng took out the spiritual stones, the blue-robed steward shut his mouth.
"These spiritual stones are a little gift from the disciple. Please help me choose a good alchemist." Yu Changsheng smiled gently.
The blue-robed steward saw him stuffing his pockets with all his strength, coughed, and reached over, smiling and saying.
"Do you have any requests?"
Yu Changsheng thought for a while and said, "I don't know the way of alchemy, so I'll leave it to the steward."
"Well, let me think about it. The alchemist Gongsun next door is good at refining pills with three-liter fire, and he doesn't have many disciples. He just broke through the third level not long ago, and he teaches all day."
"But you need to be patient to become his disciple, because he is old and will close his eyes for a while when he talks from time to time. As for the spirit stones, 333 pieces a month, how much you can learn depends on your talent, what do you think?" The blue-robed steward said with a smile.
Yu Changsheng felt that the other party would not cheat him if he took his spirit stones, so he nodded in agreement.
He followed the blue-robed steward all the way inside.
He came to an elegant room with a strong smell of herbs. An old man with white hair, deep cheeks and sleepy eyes was sitting on the futon in the middle and giving a lecture. There were also several young disciples of seventeen or eighteen years old sitting below.
Yu Changsheng looked at him and did not dare to go forward rashly.
When the old man saw the blue-robed steward coming in with a servant, he was shocked and straightened his back, as if he didn't want people to see that he was lazy. He blew his beard and glared, and said angrily.
"I am giving a lecture, get out quickly."
"Master Gongsun Dan, calm down. This is Yu Changsheng, the new disciple. You will guide me from now on." The blue-robed steward explained hurriedly.
"Oh? Have you paid the spirit stone?"
"I have."
Hearing this, Gongsun Yang suddenly became energetic, pointed to the seat below like a master, and said: "Since you have paid, then sit down and follow me to experience the wonders of this alchemy!"
