Lin Bing was suddenly a little angry. One thousand middle-grade spiritual stones was not a small amount for him. He couldn't afford so many now, and even thinking about it felt scary.
Moreover, Lin Bing felt that she might not let the alchemist help refine the elixir, so she deliberately raised the price. This behavior was really too much.
Although Lin Bing felt that Ouyang Linghu's behavior was too much for asking such a high price, on the surface Lin Bing still didn't want to anger her. After all, the other party's identity was a genuine alchemist.
Alchemists in any sect are very popular, and others dare not offend him easily, so Lin Bing could only try to suppress his anger and said coldly.
"Your asking price is too high. When you purchased an exorcism grass, it only cost 20 medium-grade spiritual stones. Why do you charge so much for an exorcism pill?"
Ouyang Linghu smiled disdainfully and said, "Junior sister, you can't settle the accounts like this."
She walked to the alchemy furnace, picked up a blank jade slip, and said while roasting it on the fire.
"You have to know that not all exorcism grass can produce an exorcism pill. It takes at least ten exorcism grasses to produce an exorcism pill. Therefore, the cost of this exorcism pill is not just two dollars. Ten pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones.”
Lin Bing was still dissatisfied when he heard this, and said to Ouyang Linghu: "Even if it takes ten exorcism grasses to make an exorcism pill, the cost is only two hundred middle-grade spiritual stones. Why do you need a thousand middle-grade spiritual stones now?" Only spiritual stones can be used to buy exorcism pills?”
Ouyang Linghu spread his hands and said helplessly: "Little junior sister, you don't know something now. Refining elixirs is not 100% successful. Sometimes more than ten exorcism grasses may not be able to refine an exorcism elixir. Come on, the losses in this process are huge, you have to know that our alchemists have worked so hard, we can’t let us lose money!"
Lin Bing frowned, feeling that what Ouyang Linghu said was reasonable, but he still felt that the price was too high, so he added.
"In that case, let's discuss it and see if we can find a price acceptable to both parties."
Seeing that Lin Bing still wanted to continue bargaining with her, Ouyang Linghu sighed helplessly.
"Junior sister, I know what you are thinking, but the price of this exorcism pill must not be any lower. This is a rule set by the sect, and it is not something I can change if I want."
Lin Bing frowned and said, "Then can you give me a discount?"
Ouyang Linghu shook his head and said: "This is not possible. My price is already the lowest, but..."
She paused, as if thinking about something, and after a while, she continued.
"If you can find the exorcism grass again, you can ask me to make an elixir. After you refine the elixir, you can not only take it by yourself, but also work together to sell it. I am willing to give you a price of four or six at that time. I’ll take 40% and you’ll take 60%.”
Lin Bing hesitated for a moment and felt that this condition was quite good. If Ouyang Linghu could find and refine the exorcism pill, he could not only take it himself to remove the evil spirit, but he could also sell it to earn a fortune in spiritual stones. It would kill two birds with one stone.
However, he was still a little worried. After all, this involved an issue of trust. Looking at Ouyang Linghu, he couldn't help but feel hesitant.
Although this Ouyang Linghu looks a little arrogant, he is not the kind of unreliable person.
But people are separated from each other, so who can completely see through a person?
Lin Bing frowned and said, "I need to think about this cooperation matter carefully."
Ouyang Linghu seemed to notice Lin Bing's concerns and quickly continued.
"Little Junior Sister, don't worry. I am very trustworthy and will never do anything treacherous. If you are still worried, I can swear it with a contract charm."
As she spoke, she took out a yellow talisman from her arms and waved it lightly. The talisman immediately burned and turned into a yellow light that enveloped the entire room.
Ouyang Linghu's voice then sounded: "Ouyang Linghu swore by the contract talisman that if I commit any treacherous behavior, I will be unable to make progress for the rest of my life and will never be able to break through the realm again."
Lin Bing watched the yellow light gradually dissipate, and the worries in his heart also disappeared, because swearing with this contract talisman was completely different from ordinary people's casual promises.
If he fails to do so or breaks his promise, then the oath will really take effect. Lin Bing can rest assured about this.
Lin Bing was still hesitant at first, but seeing that Ouyang Linghu had already sworn on the contract charm and showed such sincerity, he felt that there was no need to hide it anymore, so he admitted that he did still have the exorcism grass.
However, before taking out the exorcism grass, Lin Bing still felt that he should talk to Ouyang Linghu first to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future cooperation process.
So he said calmly: "In that case, after we refine the elixir, the rules of the division must be changed. I will have 70%, and you will have 30%."
Lin Bing thought that Ouyang Linghu would be furious after she made such an excessive request. However, to his surprise, Ouyang Linghu did not get angry and just asked calmly.
"Little Junior Sister, how much exorcism grass do you have?"
Lin Bing hesitated for a moment. He knew that he had a lot of exorcism grass in his hand, but he did not expect that Ouyang Linghu would ask this question so directly. He gritted his teeth and finally decided to confess.
He took out a cloth bag from the storage bag and poured out all the exorcism grass inside. Nearly four hundred exorcism grass piled up into a hill on the table, exuding a faint herbal fragrance.
Ouyang Linghu's originally calm expression became a little shocked after seeing so many exorcism herbs.
She stood up involuntarily, staring directly at the pile of exorcism grass, her expression a little lost.
She originally thought that Lin Bing had more than a dozen plants in his hand, but she didn't expect that there were so many. She stood up involuntarily, staring directly at the pile of exorcism herbs, her expression a little gloomy.
"Little junior sister, where did you get these exorcism herbs?" Ouyang Linghu's voice was trembling, as if he was afraid of disturbing the pile of exorcism herbs.
Lin Bing said calmly: "You don't need to worry about this. You just need to follow the conditions mentioned before. I will work with you to sell the exorcism pill."
Ouyang Linghu was silent for a moment, and finally seemed to have made up his mind. He nodded and said, "Okay, I will do as you say. We will have a happy cooperation!"
Lin Bing looked at Ouyang Linghu and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was originally worried that this cooperation would be rejected by Ouyang Linghu, but now it seems that his worries are completely unnecessary.
He was thinking that if all these exorcism grasses were used to refine elixirs, at least hundreds of exorcism elixirs could be refined.
Think about taking some yourself and selling the rest when the time comes. You can still sell at least several thousand mid-grade spiritual stones.
