Chapter 30 Only those who refine medicine are rich.
Chapter 30 Only those who refine medicine are rich.
Chen Ren's face darkened; even passersby knew that the people of Shangqing Palace were poor bastards!
It seems that their lineage is now widely known, all thanks to the inaction of those above.
However, some people are still willing to strike up a conversation with him.
"Young man, I've heard that you can receive the protection of the Supreme Purity Light during dual cultivation. If you're willing, would you like to cultivate with me?"
An ordinary-looking female cultivator sat down next to Chen Ren, her fingers intentionally or unintentionally touching his waist.
Chen Ren remained expressionless. He was very poor and had nothing but a cell phone.
Damn it, if you were even remotely attractive, he would definitely agree, since a body without flaws won't fall for it.
Both the spirit stone and the Frost-Cleansing Sword were in the Sea of Consciousness of the Calamity Sword.
So he pressed his phone button and righteously refused.
The female cultivator felt his pockets and found them empty. Her face darkened instantly, and she changed seats without saying a word.
What a waste of her time; the people from Shangqing Palace really didn't have a penny to their name.
"Tsk tsk, Tao Yu Niang, you can forget about it. Did you really think the disciples of Shangqing Palace had anything good to offer?"
"Just by looking at this kid, his qi and blood are so thin, like someone who hasn't been practicing for long. He's not even at the acquired level yet, just being left to his own devices by the sect. What kind of treasures could he possibly have?"
They laughed loudly, while Tao Yuniang's face turned ashen, and she ignored them.
Chen Ren then realized that he had been tricked.
They were in cahoots. The car stopped halfway through the journey, and then masked men boarded and began robbing the other passengers.
This confirmed his suspicions, and the several Qi Condensation cultivators who had recently arrived in the Ancient Realm with him turned pale with fright.
"Hand over the valuables."
The men in black who came up exuded a spiritual energy fluctuation of alchemy. Without any nonsense or threats, they searched each person's body!
Chen Ren noticed that Tao Yuniang and the others made eye contact with these men in black, and the items they handed over were not particularly valuable.
When they reached Chen Ren, the men in black acted as if they hadn't seen him at all and walked straight past him.
[Ding: Sword Drawing Value +15!]
He silently stared ahead, and after the masked man got off, the vehicle restarted.
"Damn it, I knew the Ancient Realm was dangerous, but I didn't expect it to be this dangerous, this chaotic!"
The people who came out with him cursed him in hushed tones, but dared not speak too loudly, for fear of being overheard and retaliated against.
"You bunch of greenhorns, do you think this place is any better?"
Tao Yuniang chuckled: "This is the Ancient Realm, where death is commonplace. Unless you have a powerful background, you're just a waste of resources."
Her gaze fell on Chen Ren's face: "Of course, if you go out without any valuables like him, and you are also considered disciples of a major sect, you will be safe."
The people of Shangqing Palace are, after all, subordinate to a behemoth like Qingcheng Mountain Academy. Ordinary people wouldn't bother with such a thankless task.
Chen Ren's face darkened further: "That's going too far! I may be poor, but I have ambition!"
"Oh right, all you have left is ambition."
Sword drawing skill +30!
This was the first time Chen Ren had personally experienced how chaotic the ancient world was.
So much so that when he arrived in Yucheng, he checked more than once whether the secondhand phone worth over a thousand yuan was still there.
However, this made them even more hesitant to let him reveal the spirit stones.
He doesn't flaunt his wealth; with only a sixth-level Qi and Blood cultivation, anyone here could easily crush him.
Sure enough, in the early stages, one must quietly develop within the mountain gate. Once one descends the mountain, who can tell the difference between a human and a ghost?
Yucheng is similar to a mixed city of ancient humans and Earth humans, but it is secretly controlled by the Yanxia government.
The overall style is similar to a combination of Tang Dynasty and modern elements.
Chen Ren did not act impulsively immediately, but first took a good look at the atmosphere and environment of the entire Yucheng.
Yucheng is a city with simple and honest people, but pickpockets are everywhere inside the city and thieves are everywhere outside.
Of course, he found that once he got to the city, there were more people practicing martial arts and fewer people cultivating immortality, and there were more things related to martial arts on the streets.
However, these people's martial arts cultivation is not high either; most of them are only at the first or second level of Qi and Blood, and they should be the so-called ancient human race.
The only good thing is that Chen Ren didn't witness any deaths, as if the higher-ups tacitly approved of their chaotic behavior.
This is the cruel ancient world.
Moreover, there are various special service venues openly operating within the city, some even offering daily health monitoring...
Not only are there women, but business is even better on the men's side...
Chen Ren's impression of the entire Ancient Realm was that it was brutal, wild, and untamed!
This made him even more hesitant to sell the spirit stones he had.
I wonder how Senior Sister Ren Renren and the others are doing now. I hope they can adapt.
Throughout the city, shops line the streets, and there are even more stalls. In addition to farmed meat, all sorts of ancient creatures are brought in to be sold every day.
The price varies depending on the level of the creature, but Chen Ren discovered that the wild ancient creatures that could be slaughtered and sold were at least at the Qi Refining stage.
Although there are few people practicing martial arts and immortality, they still appear frequently, attracting envious glances from many native humans of the ancient world.
Those who hunt every day seem to be making a lot of money.
However, Chen Ren was observant and realized that these were all superficial. The real money was made by those alchemists!
There is a medicine shop in Yucheng.
Every day, some cultivators who practice Qi cultivation would go in to buy medicinal herbs or sell pills.
The pills are actually quite ordinary. One example is the Hundred Herbs Pill, which costs 20 per pill.
The other one is Qi and Blood Pills, which also cost 20 yuan per pill.
The method involves refining pills to extract spiritual energy to the maximum extent possible, making it easier for the human body to absorb and cultivate. However, he always noticed that the cost of the medicinal herbs they bought never exceeded ten thousand yuan.
Exorbitant profits, these are exorbitant profits, a full 20 times the profit!
If he remembered correctly, Baiyunfeng Pharmacy also sold this kind of thing. If he could master it, wouldn't he never be short of money?
With a cheat code, Chen Ren felt he could give it a try.
But he soon discovered that the first step had stumped him.
The prescription for Qi Xue Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine) costs 800 million.
This doesn't even include the refining techniques, which are all unique secrets passed down from father to son and from son to grandson.
"Young man, you should wake up from your dreams. Besides, not just anyone can make medicine."
The employees at the medicine shop would joke with Chen Ren: "Several people like you come in every now and then, and in the end they all leave looking embarrassed."
Sword drawing value +20.
Unable to obtain it through legitimate channels, Chen Ren had no choice but to resort to unorthodox methods.
He started to stake out the area, hoping to find an alchemist at the Qi Condensation stage. Unfortunately, he couldn't use the sword-drawing points from the Qi Refining stage.
Unfortunately, that's too unlikely; I've never seen anyone practicing alchemy during the Qi Condensation stage.
But instead of catching the person he was waiting for, he got another opportunity.
"Make way! Make way!"
The medicine shop had only been open for a short while when two martial artists rushed in carrying a girl covered in blood.
"Quick! Save them!"
They shouted, "Bring out all the antidotes you have! She's been poisoned by corpse poison!"
Corpse poison?
This was the first time Chen Ren had ever heard of such a poison. The people from the medicine shop ran out and were also shocked when they saw who this person was.
"Isn't this someone from the Hu family? Do you think the Hu family needs money to take risks?"
"Never mind that, save her quickly! She's a top-tier genius being groomed by the Hu family, with the potential to reach the second tier!"
The cultivators spoke rapidly: "If we can't save her, we're all doomed!"
Chen Ren went closer to take a look and saw that the man's eyelids were bruised and there were long scratches on his body and chest.
The exposed flesh turned outwards had a corpse-green color.
Corpses from the ancient realm can rise again; that's the difference in the rules.
Supernatural and supernatural phenomena exist...
"It's beyond saving."
A Qi Refining Alchemist who had been stationed at the pill shop arrived, and shook his head and sighed after seeing the situation.
"The corpse poison not only attacks the heart, but also the brain. Look, her pupils have already dilated."
"What a pity, what a waste of such a promising young player from Yizhong High School. His future Foundation Establishment was already a certainty. What a pity..."
He said "what a pity" several times in a row, but to the guards, it sounded like a thunderclap.
They were responsible for protecting the Hu family's genius, but now that the genius is dead, every single one of them will be buried with him!
