An Qiuhe chuckled and said:
"Don't worry, Little Saint Brother. Wandan Pavilion's collection of a medium-grade spiritual stone is just an appetizer. After qualifying for the preliminary round, you will be required to submit the elixir you refined at the designated location within three days, as long as it meets your own realm. If you have middle-grade elixirs or above, you will even pass the preliminary round. Generally, Qi Refining Pills are submitted during the Qi Refining Stage, Yuan Peiyuan Pills are submitted during the Foundation Establishment Stage, and Spirit-Rejuvenating Pills are also available, but the elixirs for the Golden Pill Stage are unknown, and the Naling Pills are too expensive. Presumably no one will be foolish enough to buy it just for a quota."
"But there are also those who really rely on themselves to refine it. Every time, many geniuses and newcomers emerge. And if you can refine the best elixir, you can do it at any level. It's just that refining the best elixir is too difficult and you lack strength and luck. It doesn’t matter, it only happens occasionally in the finals.”
"The best elixirs are indeed rare." Zhang Xiaosheng nodded, but his expression was a little strange. Soon he seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he asked:
"You said it would be submitted within three days, but you didn't say it would be refined on site?"
"Hundreds of thousands of people participated. Even if the preliminary round is arranged in the cities of each subordinate sect, there are still tens of thousands of people. How can we refine it on site? The second-rate sects don't have that strength. So there are only special registration locations. As long as If you submit the elixir that meets the regulations within three days, you will be considered as passing the preliminary round, and then you will be issued a jade slip with information about passing the preliminary round."
"Then... isn't it easy to cheat?" Zhang Xiaosheng wondered why such a competition was held.
Anqiu River Road:
"Brother, just think about it, where did the elixirs submitted by the monks who participated in the preliminary round go?"
Zhang Xiaosheng was stunned, no way!
Looking at Zhang Xiaosheng's expression, An Qiuhe said:
"Brothers must have guessed that all these elixirs belong to the Wandan Pavilion. Think about it, let alone the Qi Refining Pill. A middle-grade Yuan-Pei Dan costs twenty middle-grade spiritual stones, and if a golden elixir stage monk If you want to pass the preliminary round, the middle-grade Nalingdan cannot be exchanged for the middle-grade spiritual stone, but the golden elixir stage elixir is worth a lot no matter what."
Zhang Xiaosheng secretly smacked his tongue, it was really dark. He couldn't help but ask again:
"So what should I do if someone has a spiritual stone but no elixir?"
An Qiuhe chuckled and said:
"Don't forget that Wandan Pavilion's original business is selling elixirs..."
Zhang Xiaosheng was speechless. Isn't this just another way to promote sales?
"This Wandan Pavilion is really watertight. Presumably the sales of elixirs will increase a lot every time there is a competition, right?"
"No, there are quite a few people who spend money to buy elixirs every time they pass the preliminary round. After all, not everyone can make elixirs, right?"
Zhang Xiaosheng didn't understand again and asked:
"Then these people don't know how to make elixirs, so why do they have to spend a medium-grade spiritual stone to sign up for the preliminary round? What's more, they even have to buy elixirs to enter the semi-finals?"
An Qiuhe sighed and said:
"This is why Master admires Wandan Pavilion. At the beginning, everyone was trying to find something new. Later, the freshness wore off and the number of people signing up began to drop sharply. But Wandan Pavilion suddenly made a surprise move and announced that all those who signed up to participate All the monks in the preliminary round can participate in the final draw, and the prizes are the ten best elixirs selected in the preliminary round. You know, there are golden elixir-level elixirs among them!"
Zhang Xiaosheng suddenly realized that this was the routine of Liangseqiu, and blurted out:
"Is it that every time there are one or two monks who draw pills that are higher than their own level and become rich?"
An Qiuhe looked at Zhang Xiaosheng in surprise and said:
"Brother is so smart, you have guessed all this."
[An Qiuhe’s reputation +200, friendliness 400/3000]
Zhang Xiaosheng smiled bitterly, there was no need to guess, and said:
"People's hearts are like this. It's understandable to use a medium-grade spiritual stone to gain a small chance. Presumably those who buy elixirs to participate in the semi-finals also want to gain greater rewards, right?"
"Yes, the elixir that can win in the rematch is naturally more precious!"
Zhang Xiaosheng snorted and said:
"Who knows if Wandan Pavilion will do something to it!"
An Qiuhe was surprised again and said:
"Brother Little Saint is really smart. Brother Yu once followed him secretly. All the low-level monks who won the lottery mysteriously disappeared after exchanging a large number of spiritual stones from Wandan Pavilion. It seems that either their wealth was revealed and someone was watching, or... "
[An Qiuhe’s reputation +200, friendliness 600/3000]
Before An Qiuhe finished speaking, he gave Zhang Xiaosheng a meaningful look. Zhang Xiaosheng understood instantly and said:
"If it's so interesting, it would be a shame not to go and see it."
"Haha, brother is right, let's set off quickly!"
After saying that, the two of them escaped into the air at the same time and flew towards the nearest market.
After two full days of driving, we arrived at the market of a second-rate sect called Lingdan Sect. Although it was only a second-rate sect’s market, it was much better than the Five Elements Sect, Golden Sword Sect, and Hongye Sect in Zhang Xiaosheng’s memory. There were several times more people in Zong's Lianhefang Market, which made Zhang Xiaosheng deeply moved.
After inquiring, the two came to the registration location and were told that the registration for the preliminary round ended yesterday. Now it is time to wait for the monks who registered two days ago to submit their elixirs for the competition. Then there will be one day of selection time, and three days later, it will be In an exciting big lottery event, all monks with registration certificates can participate in the lottery, and monks who are qualified to participate in the semi-finals can be organized by the Lingdan Sect to go to the Shendan City in the center of the Wandan Pavilion to participate in the semi-finals.
Of course, you can move freely, but after one month of the rematch, if you are not good enough to arrive on time, then the opportunity will be wasted.
An Qiuhe said with regret:
"It's a pity that I still haven't caught up."
Zhang Xiaosheng smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, I think there is still room for success."
After saying that, he started to look around. Looking around, he saw a small foundation-building monk under the eaves of a shop in the distance. He was also looking here. After looking at Zhang Xiaosheng, he quickly looked away.
After checking my eyes, you are the person I am looking for!
Zhang Xiaosheng laughed and said:
"Brother An, come back as soon as you go."
After saying that, he walked towards the foundation-building monk.
An Qiuhe didn't know why Zhang Xiaosheng suddenly laughed and left suddenly, but he could only wait where he was. He couldn't help but look in the direction where Zhang Xiaosheng was walking, and saw a foundation-building monk looking at Zhang Xiaosheng at the door of the store, then turned and ran away. Go in.
Zhang Xiaosheng followed him a few steps and entered the store, but after entering, the foundation-building man from before was no longer there. Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't help but ask the shopkeeper:
"Shopkeeper, where is the fellow Taoist who came in just now?"
The shopkeeper is about sixty years old and has a fourth level of foundation building. His future is bleak and he has given up on practicing completely, so he is the shopkeeper here. He looked up and saw that the person who asked the question was wearing a white gold-rimmed Taoist robe. He had an extraordinary bearing that could not be detected by his realm. He did not dare to neglect and answered quickly:
"Fellow Taoist must be dazzled. There is only the old man here and no one else has come in."
Zhang Xiaosheng snorted coldly, his golden elixir aura revealed, and said:
"Zhang is here to do something, not to cause trouble. I'm asking fellow Taoist to make it easier for me. I guess Zhang's level will not make him dazzled."
Da Hai, the shopkeeper, hurriedly walked out of the counter, bowed and said:
"I am blind, please forgive me, senior. Just now... the man just now was in the backyard, I will lead the way for senior."
After saying that, he looked outside and hurriedly walked towards the backyard. Zhang Xiaosheng followed a few steps without saying a word.
When they came to the backyard, sure enough, the man who built the foundation before was standing in the yard, with his mustache slightly turned up. When he saw the shopkeeper leading Zhang Xiaosheng in, he was not surprised and said:
"I have met senior. The wind has been tight recently, so I have to be more cautious. Please forgive me, senior."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and the old shopkeeper bowed again and went back to the front hall.
Zhang Xiaosheng sneered in his heart, these scalper tickets were sold across the street from the registration point. It would be really funny if you guys had nothing to do with the Lingdan Sect. However, he didn't want to pay attention to these things. It would be nice if he could do things, so he said calmly:
"You must know what I'm here for."
"I probably know that the senior is buying places for the younger members of the family who are at a certain level, how many are needed." Seeing that the words had been clearly stated, the mustachioed monk went straight to the point, and the word "purchase" was slightly emphasized.
"Two quotas for the Golden Elixir Stage." Zhang Xiaosheng didn't waste any words.
When the bearded monk heard this, he couldn't help but look happy, but it just flashed away, and then he wondered:
"Senior... the quota for the Golden Core stage is too precious, so I don't dare to make the decision without permission."
Zhang Xiaosheng did not expose it and said directly:
"Just tell me the price. It doesn't matter if the price is right. If it's not right, there's no need to waste time. I'll find the next one."
When the mustachioed monk heard this, he couldn't help but feel anxious. It seemed that he was a knowledgeable person, so he stammered:
"Senior, you know that for a spot in the Golden Elixir stage, you need to turn in one pill to be taken during the Golden Elixir stage. The cheapest middle-grade spiritual enhancement pill also requires... 80 middle-grade spiritual stones. Juniors also need to take care of it... …”
The Spirit-increasing Pill is indeed an elixir that can only be taken in the Golden Pill stage, but it can only slightly increase the speed of absorbing spirits by about 10%. It is considered the lowest level of elixirs. The reputation system has Spirit-Naling Pills, so naturally it will not increase the spirit-increasing speed. Dan lists it out.
"What about the price..." Zhang Xiaosheng pondered slightly, then changed the topic and asked:
"I wonder how long it will take to get two places?"
"This... junior needs to report it first, and the people above will handle it. If you want to get a quota, it will take three hours at the earliest."
Zhang Xiaosheng frowned slightly. He didn't expect it to be so troublesome. He took out two high-grade spiritual stones dug out from Tianji Pavilion and upgraded by the system, and said:
"These two high-grade spiritual stones are of excellent purity. If you take one of them to the black market, you can exchange it for at least 140 mid-grade spiritual stones. I'll give you half an hour. If you can't do it, forget it."
The mustached monk stared at the high-grade spiritual stone in Zhang Xiaosheng's hand. Although he could not afford the high-grade spiritual stone due to his realm and status, he had been in this industry for a long time and had seen it before. This spiritual stone was not only The shimmering color and translucency are much better than what I have seen before, and one hundred and forty yuan is considered a small amount for middle-grade ones.
In fact, it was Zhang Xiaosheng who didn't know much about prices. The quality of Tianji Pavilion's high-grade spiritual stone alone wouldn't be a big problem if it could be exchanged for 120 yuan on the black market, let alone a perfect high-grade spiritual stone that had been improved by the system.
"Senior, I'll be here later, junior will go right away."
The mustached monk did not dare to delay any more, so he said goodbye in a hurry and ran out. The dignified monk on the seventh floor of the foundation building almost staggered.
Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't help but sigh, it's easier to do things if you have money.
