Chapter 21 Acquisition

After walking a little further, Li Zhirui thanked him: "Thank you, Grandpa Shihe, for rescuing me."

"What's there to thank you for?" Li Shihe shook his head, then looked at Li Zhirui with a serious face, and warned: "Alchemy is broad and profound, but cultivation is the foundation, don't get too obsessed with it."

"I know."

"It's good to know, it's good to know." Li Shihe said with a trace of bitterness on his lips, "Go back."

After saying that, Li Shihe turned around and left. Li Zhirui looked at his much older figure with emotion in his heart. Although he didn't know the specific reason, it was not difficult to guess what was going on.

After a few days, Li Zhirui and Li Shihe taught another tribesman, and there was a trend of success. However, Li Zhirui did not go to the alchemy room anymore because he was no longer needed.

Li Zhirui's generous behavior made his situation on the island much better. At least he no longer saw jealousy in the eyes of his tribe.

One day, Li Zhirui applied to go out again. His purpose of going to Fangshi this time was to find a way to sell the several kilograms of spiritual rice in his hands.

Li Zhirui has already found the buyer, the same group of traveling merchants that Li Shiren mentioned before. He chose them because they offered the highest price!

Li Zhirui accidentally learned about this from Li Shile, saying that those traveling merchants were planning to sell spiritual rice to the far north. Due to the long-term cold there, the cost of growing spiritual rice was too high, so it was usually Acquired from the south.

The price of Northern Spiritual Rice is twice as expensive as that in Yunqingfang City, so the price they give is also higher than that of some stores. Of course, it is only one and five Spiritual Stones per pound, which is not the same. Then double it.

It's just that these traveling merchants going to the North will only pass through Yunqingfang City once every few years, and the time is uncertain.

Like this year, they came a little late, and most of the spiritual rice planted by the forces had already been sold.

Except the Li family!

The reason is also very simple. Due to the relocation of the Li family, the spiritual rice did not grow well. Later, the family tried many ways to keep the spiritual rice, but the output was reduced a lot.

Originally, the family thought that this year's spiritual rice harvest would be late and the price could not be sold, so they would put it in the grocery store and sell it slowly. However, they did not expect to encounter such a good thing, and immediately sold most of the spiritual rice that the family had collected. I made thousands of spiritual stones.

After Li Zhirui knew the news, he naturally didn't want to miss it. Otherwise, with so much spiritual rice, wouldn't he have to sell it cheaply?

…

After landing, Li Zhirui concealed his appearance, walked into Fangshi dressed in black, and went straight to the inn where the traveling businessmen were resting.

Using a few spirit stones to find out the merchant's room from the waiter, Li Zhirui strode to the door and knocked gently on their door.

"I heard that you are buying Lingmi at a high price?" Li Zhirui said in a rough voice.

"Yes." The businessman with a prosperous face said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, come in and talk in detail?"

Li Zhirui shook his head and refused. Although Fang City was safe, who knew if they would see him alone and try something on him?

"How much spiritual rice do you have in your hand? What's the grade?" The businessman didn't mind and just stood at the door talking about business with Li Zhirui.

"There are a total of 5,800 kilograms of spiritual rice, all of which are first-grade, high-grade, water and wood spiritual rice." Li Zhirui said this through sound transmission, and at the same time he took out a storage bag and held it in his hand. , let him use his spiritual sense to explore.

One storage bag couldn't hold so many kilograms of spiritual rice. Li Zhirui took it out just to show the other party the grade of the spiritual rice.

"Well, the first-grade Yunshui Lingmi is of good quality." The businessman nodded with satisfaction and said: "The purchase price is one and five spiritual stones per kilogram. If the weight is correct, it is eight thousand seven hundred. Spiritual stone.”

Counting the three storage bags, there are dozens more spiritual stones. After all, it’s impossible to flip the spiritual rice back and forth, right? That would be too much trouble.

The other party offered to give Li Zhirui three empty storage bags, but he was worried that they would tamper with the storage bags, so he refused and chose to sell them the storage bags at a low price, including the dirty one. Storage bags.

But Li Zhirui couldn't trust the other party, so how could they trust Li Zhirui? They were afraid that once Li Zhirui left, they would sell the storage bags.

Moreover, the two of them traded the spiritual rice in these three storage bags three times, which was very troublesome, but both parties were very satisfied with the results.

"If you Taoist friends still have spiritual rice in their hands, feel free to come to us!" After the transaction was completed, the businessman did not forget to say: "We will leave after seven days."

"Okay." Li Zhirui agreed readily, but in fact he could no longer get so much spiritual rice. All the spiritual rice in the space was mature, and he only had a few hundred kilograms of spiritual rice left in his hand for himself and Daqing to eat. rice.

After Li Zhirui left the inn, he immediately found a secluded place, changed his clothes, and put on a pure white mask to cover his facial features.

At the same time, he used the Cicada Breath Technique to suppress all his own aura, and then blended into the crowd, walking around aimlessly in the city to avoid possible tracking.

After confirming that no one was following him, Li Zhirui walked into a shop selling elixirs and spiritual seeds. He planned to complete as many first-level elixirs as possible and buy second-level spiritual seeds.

Although Li Zhirui is still at the seventh level of Qi training, the growth time of the second-level elixir is also very long.

Since he doesn't plan to plant too much spiritual rice, the space will leave dozens of acres of spiritual fields, which can be used to grow second-level elixirs. Maybe when he breaks through the foundation building, there will be a batch of second-level elixirs. Mature?

No matter what happens, he can use spirit stones to induce birth when the time comes, and he can save some spirit stones for himself.

When the clerk heard that Li Zhirui wanted to buy a second-level spiritual seed, he gave him a strange look. However, since he was a customer, he would not push out the business that came to his door.

And when Li Zhirui heard the waiter talk about the price of second-level spiritual seeds, he understood what the other person's look meant before.

Most first-level spiritual seeds are very cheap, and you can buy a large pack with ten spiritual stones.

But the second-level spiritual seed is sold by the grain! And each one costs dozens or even hundreds of spirit stones!

"Is it so expensive?" Li Zhirui couldn't help but click his tongue. No wonder the family valued the second-level spiritual species so much that he was not allowed to get close to it.

"Fellow Taoist, once the second-level elixir matures, the price will be three digits at the lowest. The spiritual seeds we sell are already very cheap!" The guy said: "Fellow Taoist, you can buy one of each type and cultivate it yourself, which is cheaper. ”

Moreover, the spiritual seed is not a consumable. When it matures, it will breed spiritual seeds. In other words, as long as the spiritual seeds do not wither halfway, no one will come to buy it a second time, and the store will naturally set the price higher. .

"Haha." Li Zhirui laughed dryly. Although he now has nearly nine thousand spirit stones in his hand, if he really buys one of each kind as he said, he will go bankrupt immediately!

But you still have to buy it. After some careful consideration, Li Zhirui said: "Golden border flower, spiritual fruit... give me one of each!"

More than a dozen kinds of second-level elixirs that are relatively common and commonly used in alchemy were spat out from Li Zhirui's mouth one by one.

One pill is enough!

Li Zhirui decided to use spiritual stones to induce the growth of the second-level elixir after he returned, so that the second-level elixir could mature quickly. By then, he would be able to harvest a large number of spiritual seeds and expand the scale of the second-level elixir!

However, when he took out the spiritual stones to pay the bill, Li Zhirui couldn't help but feel pain in his body. Dozens of small spiritual seeds cost him more than a thousand spiritual stones!
