It turns out that many elixirs for refining Foundation Establishment Pills are indeed planted in the elixir gardens of the major families in Gale City.
However, these elixirs are basically not sold out, and are digested by the major families themselves.
In the endless sand sea, second-level alchemists who can refine foundation-building pills are rare and rare.
But in Gale City, there are a lot of second-level alchemists who can refine foundation-building pills. There is even a third-level alchemist in the Gu Yue family.
No family will directly sell the raw materials for elixirs, and they will all be refined into finished foundation-building pills for sale.
Most of the refined Foundation Establishment Pills are internally digested by the major families.
The major families have many children and have a strong demand for Foundation Establishment Pills.
Of course, some cultivation families in Gale City, especially the Lu family and the Gu Yue family, regularly sell small amounts of Foundation Building Pills to others.
Their purpose of selling the Foundation Establishment Pill is not to obtain spiritual stones, but to exchange for the spiritual objects of heaven and earth that they need.
If you happen to have a spiritual object from heaven and earth that someone needs, or some rare treasures, or even some valuable martial arts books, you can exchange them for Foundation Establishment Pills.
When each family’s Foundation Establishment Pills were wealthy, one or two Foundation Establishment Pills would occasionally appear at the auction in Gale City.
Every time the Foundation Establishment Pill appears, it will trigger a frenzied pursuit by monks from all walks of life.
It is not impossible for a foundation-building pill with a base price of only 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones to be jacked up to 20,000 to 30,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
After listening to the senior deacon’s story, Meng Zhang realized that even if he had enough spirit stones, it would not be easy to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill in Gale City.
Now that I think about it, Feihong Sect is really doing a good deed by selling Foundation Building Pills to vassal families for the friendly price of 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
The spiritual objects that Meng Zhang brought this time were all ordinary spiritual objects without grades.
In fact, even the lowest-level heaven and earth spiritual objects, yellow-level heaven and earth spiritual objects, are rare in the endless sand sea.
As for the martial arts books, Taiyi Sect has collected many. But it is only possible to be favored by the Jindan family unless Meng Zhang is willing to take out the core inheritance of the Taiyi Sect.
Of course Meng Zhang, who values inheritance very seriously, would not do this.
Meng Zhang asked the senior deacon if there were any other ways to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill or the elixir for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.
The senior deacon did not hide anything from Meng Zhang and spoke honestly.
Every once in a while, ranging from decades to hundreds of years, some big merchants in Gale City, such as Sihailou, will bring some Foundation Building Pills from other places for sale.
The conditions for them to sell Foundation Establishment Pills are similar to those of the major families in Gale City, with barter being given priority. If there is really no suitable exchange item, then I will consider spiritual stones.
If Meng Zhang is patient enough, he can wait slowly in Gale City.
If you are lucky, in a few years, a merchant will bring the Foundation Establishment Pill for sale. If you are unlucky, you may wait for decades, but it will all be in vain.
In addition, Meng Zhang can go to the casual cultivators in Gale City to inquire about information and try his luck.
Some lucky casual cultivators may obtain some foundation-building pills from the caves of senior monks.
Of course, the efficacy of these foundation-building pills of unknown origin is very questionable.
For truly effective foundation-building pills, casual cultivators will give priority to selling them to major merchants.
There are also some casual cultivators who, by chance, will collect some wild elixirs in the wild, which are exactly what they need to refine the Foundation Building Pill.
Similarly, for the sake of safety, they will also give priority to selling to major merchants with excellent reputations.
After hearing this, Meng Zhang was very disappointed. This person has said so much, but no way is reliable.
Meng Zhang asked again and again, but no other way was found.
Suddenly, Meng Zhang had an idea in his mind. He asked the senior deacon if he had heard of the Xiaoji Establishment Pill in Shuangfeng Valley.
This senior deacon has actually heard of it.
According to him, the elixir refined by Shuangfeng Valley, known as the Little Foundation Establishment Pill, claims to have 30% of the efficacy of the real Foundation Establishment Pill, but in fact the efficacy is less than 20%. In addition, erysipelas is also very powerful. Even if a monk successfully builds his foundation after taking it, he still needs to spend a lot of time expelling the erysipelas.
The most important thing is that the production of Xiaoji Establishment Pills in Shuangfeng Valley is limited and rarely strays outside the endless sand sea.
After listening to the words of this senior deacon, Meng Zhang thought that if Shi Changqing could refine the Small Foundation Establishment Pill in large quantities, he could sell the Small Foundation Establishment Pill as a specialty product beyond the endless sand sea.
Before leaving, Meng Zhang finally asked the senior deacon if there was still no better way to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, but he only received a negative answer.
The disappointed Meng Zhang had no choice but to leave Sihai Tower.
Reluctant, Meng Zhang walked around Dafeng City and visited many big merchants. The answers I got from them were very similar to what the senior deacon of Sihai Tower said.
Meng Zhang, who was a little depressed, returned to the warehouse alone.
The disciples who were sent out by Meng Zhang to inquire about commodity prices came back one after another, bringing good news.
The goods Meng Zhang brought this time can be sold at a good price in Dafeng City. Its selling price is much higher than that in Feihong City.
It’s a pity that no matter how many spirit stones are sold, you can’t buy the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Shortly after Meng Zhang returned to the warehouse, a clerk from the Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com warehouse came to his door.
It turns out that the Gu Yue family’s warehouse is also engaged in the business of purchasing various foreign goods.
The clerk said that he could first send someone to estimate the price of Meng Zhang’s goods. If the price can be agreed upon, the warehouse can eat all the goods directly.
This batch of goods was large in quantity and of various types, and Meng Zhang also felt that it would be too troublesome to sell them separately slowly. If the warehouse could buy all the goods at a fair price, it would save him a lot of effort.
So, Meng Zhang called two disciples and asked them to accompany the warehouse monks to Feizhou to evaluate the goods.
After Meng Zhang returned to the room where he lived, he began to think about other ways to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill or to refine the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
When he was at his wits end, he thought of the Dayan Divine Calculation, which he had mastered.
Although it is said that Tianji Technique cannot be abused, using it on important strategic materials such as Foundation Establishment Pills is not considered abuse. Even if you pay some price for it, it is totally worth it.
So, Meng Zhang began to calm down and slowly adjust his family’s situation.
After half a day, he felt that his soul was calm and his mind was extremely pure.
He summoned the calculation chip in his body, began to use the Dayan Divine Calculation, and made deductions.
The last time Meng Zhang conducted derivation was more than a year ago, when he deduced the whereabouts of Qing Zhuzi, the archenemy of Yang Xueyi.
What he had left last time was the calculation chips he had accumulated over the past year or so, which totaled nearly 600 pieces.
After spending almost five hundred calculation chips, Meng Zhang finally deduced a result.
