Chapter 449: Chapter 209: Golden Light Wanderer, Nine Luminaries Profound Pill
’There are this many Tier Three Spirit Grasses?’
Xiao Chen was a bit surprised.
He had originally thought his personal harvest would surpass the combined total of all the other cultivators. But now it seemed that with over one hundred thousand cultivators participating, there truly was strength in numbers.
Fortunately, he had the Purple Gold Bodhi, so he still held the lead in the quantity of Tier Four Spirit Grass.
The final matter City Lord Huo had to announce today, which was also the main point of his speech, was his plan to host a Spirit Medicine Banquet at the City Lord’s Mansion.
The banquet was scheduled for the third day of the third month.
At that time, several Alchemy Grandmasters would be in attendance, including some from other sects.
A few of his own friends would also be attending. By a conservative estimate, more than four Nascent Soul True Monarchs would be present.
He was also taking this opportunity to invite the other cultivators to attend the Spirit Medicine Banquet as well.
Any cultivator who possessed a Tier Four Spirit Pill and was willing to put it up for trade would automatically gain entry to the Spirit Medicine Banquet.
The moment he said this, a wave of sharp gasps swept through the crowd.
’A Tier Four Spirit Pill?’
’That’s a pretty steep requirement, isn’t it?’
Although one didn’t necessarily have to be a Tier Four cultivator to obtain a Tier Four Spirit Pill, they were still, on the whole, exceptionally difficult to acquire.
After all, these items had one defining characteristic: they were something money couldn’t buy, as they were almost never on the market.
That was right. Even major establishments like the Ten Thousand Immortals Tower, Changxing Square, and even Hundred Herbs City itself, didn’t typically sell Tier Four Elixirs to the public.
The reason was simple: even in the Eastern Domain, there wasn’t a large supply of Tier Four Spirit Pills.
There weren’t even enough for their own Nascent Soul True Monarchs, so how could there possibly be any extras to sell?
At the same time, the quick-witted people in the crowd immediately realized why someone had been willing to pay such a high premium to buy up Tier Four Spirit Grass earlier.
They weren’t buying Spirit Grass; they were buying a ticket to the banquet.
The reasoning behind it was simple.
On the third day of the third month, any cultivator who appeared at the banquet, having secured a ticket, would be demonstrating that they were anything but ordinary—no matter how they had managed it.
Especially for people like the shopkeeper of Fengyu Restaurant, these were all valuable connections worth making.
They didn’t need to forge a deep connection on the spot, but simply becoming a familiar face would make future interactions much easier.
Xiao Chen quickly figured this out as well, and he instantly understood the motive of that Elder Qian.
’If that’s the case, then I can sell the Thousand-year-old Crying Spirit Flower with peace of mind.’
That afternoon, he found an opportunity to visit the City Lord’s Mansion and successfully traded the flower for a grand total of three hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Stones.
Compared to the recent auction price, that was a net profit of one hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Stones!
’Tier Four Spirit Pills are a real pain to get. I should just focus on cultivation for now.’
Back at the inn, Xiao Chen thought it over carefully and decided the whole affair was too much trouble.
He wasn’t very fond of banquets like that anyway, so he didn’t dwell on it or actively scheme to get his hands on a Tier Four Spirit Pill.
Instead, he started to try out the new Nine Luminaries Profound Pill he had acquired.
This top-tier Tier Three Spirit Pill looked extraordinary from its appearance alone.
Not only was it wreathed in a bright Spiritual Light, but its surface was also etched with a circle of fine patterns.
They looked like the legendary Pill Patterns.
It was said that Pill Patterns only appeared on elixirs refined by Tier Four Alchemy Grandmasters.
One circle signified a one-pattern Spirit Pill, while two circles signified a two-pattern Spirit Pill.
When using the same Spirit Grass, each additional Pill Pattern increased the elixir’s efficacy by ten percent.
It just went to show that the only drawback to expensive things was their price.
After taking the pills for twenty-four consecutive days, Xiao Chen could clearly feel that his True Essence had become almost twice as condensed as before.
He secretly flew to a deserted spot to test it out.
His True Yang Fire Dragon, which was originally twelve hundred zhang long, instantly surged to a length of two thousand zhang!
All he could say was, the results were phenomenal!
