One hundred and fifty spirit coins.
If converted by simple proportion, that would be fifteen thousand taels of gold!
And then to silver, it would be one and a half million taels, or several million taels of white silver!
However, obviously, no one would actually exchange according to the proportion.
And over a hundred spirit coins, the actual value far exceeded ten million taels of white silver.
This price, for the people present, was not a small sum, but it was also not too great a cost.
As representatives of their respective forces, or simply those in power.
Being invited to the main hall by the host, they could at least afford two to three hundred spirit coins.
So even Zhuang Lindao did not expect that his disciple-acceptance ceremony would turn into a venue for Ji Yuan to sell pills.
He originally intended to achieve some unstated goals through this banquet.
But he never imagined that it would ultimately fulfill Ji Yuan.
After hearing the price of the pills and understanding the hint from the other party.
Sun Wuyi immediately took out one hundred and fifty spirit coins and sent them over with his magic power.
Ji Yuan also smilingly collected the spirit coins in front of him.
Seeing this, some people who desperately needed the pills immediately began to bid, even willing to raise the price to get their hands on them.
Finally, he collected over three hundred and eighty spirit coins, selling the remaining two Divine Observation Heavenly Heart Pills.
Although these pills were snapped up, the other people present clearly would not leave empty-handed.
Whether it was the Nine Dragon Spirit Nourishing Pill or the Five Qi Yang Yuan Pill, both had great benefits for oneself.
The former nourished the body and soul with dragon qi, and after consuming nine pills, one could condense a wisp of dragon qi, which could help break through bottlenecks.
The latter further strengthened and nourished true essence, and the more one consumed, the better the effect.
The importance of true essence for cultivators of the Three Realms was naturally self-evident, as it was related to one's own Dao path.
As Ji Yuan raked in a fortune, Wu Wei, who mentioned this matter, had a slight darkening of his expression.
He had wanted to use this opportunity to bring him into the sights of various forces.
If it truly succeeded, it would not necessarily be a good thing.
But he had overlooked how important the three types of pills Ji Yuan mastered were to everyone present.
However, it made sense. Although he was also a cultivator, he was only in the early stage of the Second Realm.
He could not comprehend the feeling of being trapped in a realm for decades, yet still unable to take that final small step.
Therefore, he not only failed to make the various forces wary of Ji Yuan using pills to seize benefits,
but instead caused everyone to flock to him, wishing to get closer to him.
This could be considered an amateur looking at a professional.
Although he possessed cultivation, Wu Wei was not a true cultivator.
All his efforts were focused on his official career and how to manage things.
His understanding of cultivators and alchemists was very limited.
The reason he cultivated was more for self-preservation and to extend his lifespan.
Therefore, he did not know how special the status of an alchemist who mastered precious pills would be.
Perhaps in business, various forces would not hesitate to make a move.
But they would absolutely not fall out with him, making their relationship too strained.
Simply put, they would absolutely not try to kill him.
In a short period of time, the three types of pills Ji Yuan possessed were sold out.
And this brought him an income of about a thousand spirit coins.
No wonder they say alchemists are wealthy, and alchemists who master special pills are even wealthier.
The cost of one Divine Observation Heavenly Heart Pill was only about two or three spirit coins, yet it was sold for dozens of times its price.
Seeing the enthusiasm of the crowd gradually subside, Ji Yuan felt a surge of inspiration and naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot.
He had originally intended to use the few pills he had to open up the market in the county seat of Luoxia Commandery.
But he had always lacked a suitable opportunity, and any rash action would easily invite attacks from some forces.
But now was the best opportunity; a banquet had gathered more than half of the forces in the county seat.
"Besides the three pills just now, this humble Daoist has another good pill in my possession."
He smiled slightly and took out two jade bottles.
Each contained a Xuan Tian Cheng Lu Pill of different quality.
One was for cultivators below the Third Realm, and the other was for cultivators of the Third Realm.
The two different qualities of Xuan Tian Cheng Lu Pills had different strengths and effects, and the prices required would naturally vary.
As Ji Yuan expected, based on the foundation of the previous three pills.
The Xuan Tian Cheng Lu Pills in his hand were quickly purchased, and he even received several large orders.
As for whether he could establish long-term supply relationships with some forces, it would depend on what effects this pill brought.
Moreover, Ji Yuan believed that after this banquet ended, news of the few pills in his possession would spread at a very fast speed.
Of course, not everyone was chasing after his pills.
Some people, while appearing enthusiastic, actually had other intentions in their hearts, which they did not reveal to outsiders.
The banquet continued, but many people's minds had already shifted, and their gazes occasionally drifted towards Ji Yuan.
Finally, the banquet, originally scheduled for three days, only lasted for most of the day, and the important figures in the main hall found excuses to leave one after another.
On the contrary, the forces outside the main hall stayed at the Zhuang family for a full three days.
They might have decent strength, but they did not have the right to leave whenever they pleased.
If they wanted to leave early, they still had to consider whether this would displease the Zhuang family.
Or even whether rival forces would use this to attack them.
This was just an ordinary banquet, but there were still many intricacies involved.
As the important figures in the main hall gradually departed, Ji Yuan also quietly returned to Ming Xin Xuan.
Compared to before he left, he had a young boy by his side upon his return.
Zhuang Tianxin was not old and his cultivation was not strong, but his talent was extremely good.
Although a bit of a stretch, he could be considered to have reached the level of a genius.
If he could enter the Creation Spirit Pool, he would surely reach greater heights.
Therefore, the disciple-acceptance ceremony of the Zhuang family included a high-quality Fourth-rank demonic core.
According to Qian Nishang, this item was one of the Zhuang family's treasures, and people had offered high prices for it without success.
Now that the materials were gathered, he clearly would not create a Creation Spirit Spring in the county seat of Luoxia Commandery.
Nor could he summon his few disciples and those he had already decided upon from Fei Yun Commandery.
Furthermore, he could not put aside the matters here in the short term and return to Xuan Tian Peak.
As a result, the matter of the Creation Spirit Spring could only be temporarily postponed.
"Has the trade route connecting to Fei Yun Commandery been opened yet?"
Ji Yuan asked.
Hearing this, Qian Nishang pondered for a moment before sighing, "A few crucial points are still missing. It will probably take some more time."
