Chapter 31: The Value of Pills

It was night time, and we arrived at the 꺘山岛, which is also the location of the black market.

This island was originally nameless, and the casual cultivators who came and went named it after a low mountain in the island, calling it 꺘山岛.

꺘山岛 is located in the eastern part of Donghu Island, stretching for dozens of miles, with dense vegetation and lush greenery. The 꺘山岛 stands tall and connected, like a living mountain character.

The passenger ship gradually approached, and Fang Yun looked intently. The whole island was shrouded in thick fog. If there were no ferries to carry passengers, even if he knew the location, he would not be able to come here.

"What a majestic formation!"

No wonder he had to collect two spirit stones when he got on the boat. Fang Yun actually felt that he was at a loss.

After landing, Fang Yun followed the crowd to the center of the black market. When leaving, he could also take a ferry. The port of delivery was fixed, and he would go to the place he wanted to go.

Fortunately, the boat boarding point in the shantytown of Donghu Island where Fang Yun was located was also one of the fixed locations for black market passenger boat transportation.

Moreover, although the shantytown of Donghu Island was chaotic, the number of cases of robbery and mischief was much lower than that of other places, and some cultivators still cared about the face of the Li family.

So when Fang Yun went back, he could still take the passenger boat.

Of course, if Fang Yun was in the late stage of Qi Refining now, he could control the magic weapon to fly into the sky and escape into the ground, and go anywhere.

It was not because he wanted to use the magic weapon to fly now, but because even the simplest method of controlling the weapon, such as the art of driving objects, requires the cultivator to reach the first level of Qi Refining before learning it.

There are also descriptions of the art of driving objects in Taoist Mixing's notes, as well as advanced sword control techniques. The notes record the second spell that can only be practiced after the foundation building.

One requires cultivation to the late stage of Qi Refining, and the other requires cultivation to reach the foundation building stage. Both are learned by Fang Yun now.

I said so much because his cultivation is sufficient.

At this moment, Fang Yun followed the crowd and walked around the market first. Seeing the dazzling array of stalls and the cultivators coming and going, it was really eye-opening.

As long as they were cultivators in a group, those who walked alone would put on a posture of keeping strangers away. Fang Yun would naturally not dare to go forward to disturb others, but observe alone.

In various stalls, you can see many good things. Most of those things exude a bloody smell. Even many stall owners look ferocious. Obviously, none of them are good.

Since it is a black market, it is normal to sell some legitimate things.

Fang Yun wandered around with the intention of understanding the market and gaining knowledge. This time he came to the black market, he planned to stay here for a day.

Most of the people who set up stalls were low-level casual cultivators, while some cultivators with higher cultivation levels still tended to sell or purchase goods in shops.

Of course, the shops here are more formal than those in other places, and cultivators can buy more good things while showing off their wealth and taking risks.

As for the cultivators who set up stalls, some of them are self-employed, and some are simply dumping some garbage and deliberately cheating people.

But it must be said that in the market, as long as it is various things used by cultivators, almost everything is available.

Whether it is elixirs, exercises, magic tools, talismans, etc.!

Fang Yun walked slowly and came to a stall of a woman who looked about ten years old. The stall of this woman was full of miscellaneous goods, including several veil magic tools and jade hairpin magic tools. Judging from the flashing spiritual light on them, they all seemed to be first-level magic tools.

There were also several white jade bottles placed together, with a sign next to them. It said, White Jade Pill, dehumidification and detoxification, one spirit stone per bottle.

"Daoyou, do you want a bottle of White Jade Pill? My pills are good quality and cheap, very cost-effective." Seeing Fang Yun standing next to him for a while, seeing that he seemed to be interested in her pills, the woman immediately asked.

"Hehe, may I ask if you have Qingyang Pills or Shuixing Pills for sale? If so, how much spiritual stones do you think they cost?"

"Qingyang Pills? Shuixing Pills? Daoist, are you going to fish in the sea or collect shellfish in the lake?" Seeing that Fengyun seemed to be interested, the woman asked.

"Does my sister need to ask me what I'm going to use the pills for? Just tell me if you have any. If you have any, I'd like to buy some."

"No, I can refine these two kinds of pills. You can go to the Herb Shop and ask. They usually sell Qingyang Pills for five spirit stones per bottle and Shuixing Pills for two spirit stones per bottle."

The woman frowned slightly, as if she saw something, and said, "If you want to sell pills, you can sell them directly to the Herb Pavilion. They are still reputable!"

Fang Yun's face sank, and he seemed to feel his face getting hot. He said in a low voice, "Thank you for telling me. Unfortunately, I'm not an alchemist and don't have any pills to sell. Goodbye!"

Take a step, Fang Yun left quickly.

"Qingyang Pill and Shuixing Pill are not hard currency, only some people have demand for them."

The main effects of the two pills are related to water. Fishermen who go out to sea to fish have strong yang energy and good water nature, so they do this job. Without the help of pills, they are very easy to get hurt.

There is also a profession, shellfish collector.

As far as Fang Yun knows, the Beixuan family in Nanwan Island is rich in spiritual shellfish and has a shellfish farm.

On the island, the Li family raises spiritual fish, the Yue family grows spiritual plants, and the Beixuan family raises spiritual shellfish.

Like the fish farmers of the Li family, the Beixuan family also has some specific professional workers, shellfish collectors.

Spirit shellfish can be compared to red-eyed carp, and spiritual fish can be caught by casting nets, but if you want to catch spiritual shellfish, it is only manual, and shellfish collectors mainly collect blood spiritual pearls produced in spiritual shellfish.

Because the Beixuan family had insufficient experience in raising shellfish in the early years, many hidden dangers were left.

In the early days, a large number of spiritual shellfish escaped from the Beixuan family's shellfish farm. These spiritual shellfish were controlled by the Beixuan family and reproduced freely in the waters near Nanwan Island, becoming the maggots of Nanwan Island. They destroyed the island reefs and eroded the spiritual veins on the island, causing the Beixuan family to suffer.

At this time, a kind of cultivator profession came into being, that is, shellfish collectors. The casual cultivators who settled near Nanwan Island could hunt these spiritual shellfish at will. As long as they involved the shellfish farm controlled by the Beixuan family, they would not only stop them, but also encourage them.

Therefore, in the past hundred years, the shellfish plague of the Beixuan family has finally been curbed.

And most of these shellfish collectors are low-level casual cultivators. The two kinds of elixirs they must have when they go into the water are Qingyang Dan and Shuixing Dan.

That is why Fang Yun mentioned the names of the two elixirs, which made the woman think that he was a casual cultivator.

After learning about the market situation, Fang Yun had an idea in his mind. When refining the elixir, he knew that these two elixirs were hard currency that could increase his cultivation, just like Lingyuan Dan and Huangya Dan.

It would take some time to set up a stall to sell them, but they are definitely valuable and profitable. Although there are few people who need the two elixirs, these elixirs are rigidly needed for certain people, and it is difficult to sell them.

"Should I rent a stall to sell them alone, or directly exchange them with the elixir shop?"
