Seaside City is a large city located in the northern part of the Starfall Empire, with a population of several million. It is said that it used to be a small market. Later, because of the flat and fertile land and good weather, people continued to move here. Later, the city was slowly expanded and gradually formed its current situation.
"Boss, how do you sell this middle-grade Yuan Dan?"
In a drug store, Lu Changfeng was asking the store owner for a price. He arrived in Beach City ten days ago. He originally wanted to look for the Shen family's ship at the port. Although he could not return to White Horse Country for the time being, he had stayed with Lao Han and the others for a long time and had feelings for him, so it would be better to say goodbye. But I don't know whether it was Lao Han and the others who had already returned, or whether Lu Changfeng didn't find the right one and didn't see anyone. He wandered around for a few months, getting familiar with the local customs and customs, and wandered into the seaside city unknowingly.
Unlike the remote and remote area of Yunyinmen, Haibin City is vast and rich in resources. For example, the Qiankun Bag is sold directly here, and every warrior has one. There are also many masters practicing here, and many of the people I meet on the street are very strong. Even though Lu Changfeng has no spiritual sense, he can still sense it. He urgently needed to improve his strength, so he could only try his luck at the drug store to see if he could buy some elixirs to improve his physical body. The middle-grade Yuan Dan can be taken by warriors in the martial arts realm. It can be used to temper the body, which is exactly what Lu Changfeng needs.
"Twelve a piece, how many do you need?" the old shopkeeper in a black coat said calmly. His shop sells a lot of medicines a day, and Lu Changfeng is just an ordinary customer among the many.
"So expensive?" Lu Changfeng's eyelids jumped. A mere first-class elixir actually sold for ten taels. I got a lot of treasure from pirates. Although it is not my own money and I don't feel bad about spending it, I can't make it like this. But now there seems to be no other option but to buy elixirs.
Seeing Lu Changfeng's hesitation, the old shopkeeper advised, "Brother, these elixirs are all newly refined. They are of very good quality and have not lost their medicinal properties. They are great value for money! It would be a pity not to buy some."
Lu Changfeng took a sniff and found that the properties of the medicine were indeed exactly the same. That’s all, I really don’t feel bad about spending other people’s money. Lu Changfeng comforted himself and asked: “Shopkeeper, do you get a discount if you buy more?”
"Yes, yes, you can get 10% off if you buy more than 20 pieces at one time, and you can get 20% off if you buy more than 50 pieces at one time."
After arriving at this place, Lu Changfeng gained a lot of knowledge, one of which was about elixirs.
According to the specifications and standards spread by the Danding Sect, the authoritative sect of elixirs, elixirs are generally divided into three categories, namely spiritual elixirs, Yuan elixirs, and soul elixirs. Spirit pills are used to increase spiritual power, Yuan pills are used to increase physical strength, and soul pills are used to increase soul strength, that is, spiritual consciousness. However, soul pills are rare in the market and are generally not used by ordinary warriors. They are mostly used by immortal cultivators.
Similar to spirit beasts, each major category of elixirs has ten levels. The tenth level is also called the innate holy medicine. It almost only exists in legends and no one has ever seen it. In Leiyun Continent, level four pills are already the ceiling. Each level from level one to level nine is divided into five levels: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, fine-quality, and perfect. The elixirs of the same category, the same level, and the same product may also contain several different elixirs.
For example, Red Fire Pill and Long Yuan Pill are both first-class and top-grade body-building pills, and their efficacy is roughly the same. However, due to different formulas, regional differences and other factors, they have different names, but they can all be called the same pill. Top grade Yuan Dan. Another example is Marching Pill and Bone-Strengthening Pill, both of which are middle-grade Yuan Pills, and Spirit-Gathering Pill and Life-Spirit Pill, which are both first-level Perfect Spirit Pills...
He bought twenty middle-grade Yuan Dan, which should be enough. After all, he was about to enter the late stage of the martial arts realm. Buying too much will reveal that he has a lot of money, which can easily lead to disaster. It is necessary to be on guard against others and to be the first to do so.
I wanted to practice in an inn, but there were so many people coming and going in the inn, it was very inconvenient. Lu Changfeng simply bought a small house with a yard in the city, so that he could practice at home without any distractions. After practicing for more than a month, all the middle-grade Yuan Dan has been used up, and the physical body has also been greatly tempered. The elixir cost ten taels of silver each, probably because it was expensive. Lu Changfeng was very diligent when practicing, and the effect was particularly good.
He is at the seventh level of the martial arts realm. In the past month, he has mainly been tempering his body and has not practiced much spiritual power. The two problems Lu Changfeng faces now are: first, the depth of the skills is not enough. There is only one boundless sea, and only the first level, which is no longer enough for those who have entered the late stage of the martial arts realm. The second problem is that it is difficult to temper the physical body. He does not have a powerful body-building technique. It is useless to just rely on the "Yunyin Bodybuilding Technique". Pharmacies are not allowed to sell body elixirs.
In a place like the Starfall Empire, in the late martial arts realm, if you want to improve your spiritual power, the Spirit Gathering Pill is the best; if you want to temper your physical body, the Red Fire Pill is the best. These two kinds of elixirs are both first-class and top-grade. However, pharmacies do not have such higher-grade elixirs. After all, the pharmacy mainly deals with civilians, but these elixirs are only needed by warriors.
Thinking of what the old shopkeeper of the pharmacy said yesterday, Lu Changfeng could only shake his head helplessly...
The Spirit-Gathering Pill is fine, it's okay if you don't have it, but the Red Fire Pill must be obtained, otherwise if you practice it by yourself, you will have to practice it for years and years.
"Excuse me, shopkeeper, where can I get the Red Fire Pill?"
"As for the Red Fire Pill, it's possible to buy it on the black market, but it depends on luck. After all, things on the black market are not stably provided. Another way is to join a larger sect, and there will definitely be one in these sects."
"Apart from these two ways, is it possible to get it?" Lu Changfeng didn't want to join other sects for the time being because of the Yunyin Sect. Besides, even if he is willing to join, others may not accept him.
The old shopkeeper said: "The only one is Huimin College. Huimin College refines various types of elixirs and provides them to the disciples."
"Huimin College, where is that place?" Since Huimin College has the word "Huimin" on it, I think it must be different.
Through the patient explanation of the old shopkeeper, Lu Changfeng also understood the situation and felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.
The Starfall Empire has a huge territory, and it takes a long time to get from the border to the capital. Because during the founding of the People's Republic of China, Emperor Taizu ennobled the meritorious officials and gave hereditary titles to their descendants. Therefore, since the founding of the country, the power and resources of the Starfall Empire have basically been in the hands of the royal family and these hereditary wealthy families. They have combined with each other through marriage to form a stable power circle. If ordinary people want to touch this circle, they have no chance at all, not even the chance to be slaves.
Common people don't even have the chance to be slaves, so of course it's not possible. Not to mention that the royal family and the heroes followed the common people. The long-term oppression led to resentment among the people and constant rebellion. These people who ride on other people's heads will inevitably become arrogant and lustful after bullying others for a long time, and lose the blood and hard work of their ancestors. This is really not conducive to the stability of the Starfall Empire's rule. Therefore, in the third generation, Emperor Tianlu, in order to stabilize the country and the country, specially granted Tian'an grace and gave the common people a chance, which is the origin of Huimin College.
Huimin Academy, officially hosted by the Star Luo Empire, is located in the thirteen states of the Star Luo Empire and specializes in recruiting civilian warriors every three years. Children of civilians pass the examination and enter Huimin Academy. After completing their studies, these warriors can have the opportunity to serve the country and work as an official or a part-time official. Maybe after a few generations, he can break through the sky and enter the circle of powerful people, and from then on his descendants will all become masters. Ordinary people benefited from this, and the college got its name.
Huimin College recruits civilians, which is indeed an opportunity for Lu Changfeng, and the college has the Red Fire Pill he wants. The most important thing is that this academy is a place for warriors to practice. In addition to pills, other training resources may be useful to you. It's worth a try, Lu Changfeng thought.
According to the old shopkeeper, the enrollment of Huimin College this time will be held on the second day of next month. After calculation, it is exactly ten days later, and there is still time. As the seat of the Nanhai Prefecture Government Office of the Starfall Empire, Seaside City naturally also has a branch of Huimin College. However, the college only admitted citizens of the Starfall Empire. The old method was that Lu Changfeng spent money to buy household registration from local officials and got a letter of recommendation to apply.
