Generally, small matters like asking for directions was not enough for someone to tease you, so Ling Xiao quickly found his way to the market.
Usually, this market was a place where Moonlight Sect internally traded goods internally, although outsiders would also come in exceptional cases.
When he arrived at the market, he was very surprised.
Outer disciples like him, even Half Great Masters, were doing hard work to make a living here.
Most of the people who could take out spirit stones to purchase things were inner disciples, who were all above the Transcendent Realm.
In the past, he had thought that Moonlight Sect had too few experts, but now, he understood that he was truly a frog at the bottom of a well.
Here, just taking a few steps, you could run into a Rank Eight Transcendent, Rank Nine Transcendent, or even Celestial Realm disciples, Deputy Hall Masters, Hall Masters, Elders, and other experts.
Fortunately, it was not permitted to casually emit their auras here. Otherwise, Ling Xiao might not be able to stay. Moreover, those outer disciples would faint and fall to the ground one by one.
Ant?
Ling Xiao smiled.
He admitted that he was indeed an ant.
However, that didn’t matter. Who hadn’t started as an ant?
What about the Transcendent Realm?
What about the Celestial Realm?
He believed that he would reach them soon.
Naturally, upon seeing this scene, his desire to advance his cultivation base became stronger; moreover, his determination to cultivate also became firmer.
Upon seeing those Transcendent Realm and Celestial Realm experts taking out high-grade spirit stones like coppers, he was truly envious.
……
This market was not much different from a vegetable market in the secular world.
There were mainly stalls and shops.
As long as you paid a certain amount of rent, you could sell things here.
Naturally, the rent could only be paid in spirit stones and was paid to the person in charge of this market.
Although this person was just a Rank Nine Transcendent powerhouse, his authority was not small.
After wandering around the market for a while, Ling Xiao found that all types of goods were available.
In fact, there were fresh vegetables, fruits, meats, and so on, which had been brought from the secular world. They could be purchased with gold and silver.
There were also spirit vegetables, spirit fruits, spirit beast meat, and so on cultivated by the sect.
Naturally, only spirit stones could purchase them. Not only were they delicious, but they also provided special help in cultivation.
There were various martial items refined by the Weapon Hall, various pills refined by the Medicine Hall, and some materials needed for weapon refinement and alchemy.
Naturally, there were also some martial art manuals that the sect allowed to be traded. These martial art manuals were quite popular, and they were very common outside, but their grades weren’t low.
There were quasi-gold-grade martial arts and even entry gold-grade martial arts.
However, the price was a bit too high. In any case, Ling Xiao couldn’t afford them for the time being.
Naturally, he also found a good way to make money.
The price of alchemy materials was relatively cheap, whereas the prices of almost all pills were very high.
He roughly calculated the difference to be nearly ten times.
For instance, for the Top Grade True Essence Pills he had refined, all the materials required cost ten low-grade spirit stones, but a Top Grade True Essence Pill cost a hundred low-grade spirit stones.
Even like that, these things were often out of stock.
As for the low yellow-grade spirit pill ‘Transcendent Mold Body Pill’, it cost over ten thousand low-grade spirit stones!
Ling Xiao was among those with relatively more spirit stones among the outer disciples, but he had less than three hundred still. He couldn’t even purchase one such spirit pill.
Moreover, 10,000 low-grade spirit stones were just the base price. Some people had bid even 30,000 to 40,000.
At present, Ling Xiao was unable to refine high-grade pills; however, even unqualified pills like Top Grade True Essence Pills were of great value.
This was truly an excellent way to get rich. No wonder people said that the richest people in the sect were two types: alchemists and Refine Weapon Masters.
First, Ling Xiao spent a low-grade spirit stone to purchase ten Refine Array Stones. He then used his remaining low-grade spirit stones to purchase the materials required to refine Top Grade True Essence Pills.
Like this, it shouldn’t be a problem to refine 30 Top Grade True Essence Pills. In any case, his success rate was 100%. As long as no one interrupted him, he wouldn’t fail.
As for spirit charcoal and a furnace, he didn’t need to purchase them as a disciple of Venerable Yuan. It was not a problem to borrow some spirit charcoal and a furnace from the Medicine Hall.
Allegedly, spirit charcoal could only refine unqualified pills. If he wanted to refine better pills, he needed better fuel.
Naturally, this was not something Ling Xiao had to consider now.
Now, just refining unqualified pills was enough.
So-called high-grade pills were actually divided into four grades: yellow, black, earth, and heaven. Each grade was further divided into low, mid, high, best, and transcendent.
In fact, unqualified pills were also divided into four grades. The Top Grade True Essence Pill was the best among the unqualified pills, which was pretty good.
At least, in the secular world, it was a top-notch pill. Even in the sect, it was an excellent pill for outer disciples.
Even experts with a cultivation base of Rank Three Transcendent Realm or below needed this kind of relatively inexpensive pill to replenish their true essence, so there wouldn’t be an issue in its sales.
In addition, he used all his silver to purchase a few materials needed to refine ‘Martial Vein Body Mold Pills.’
He might be able to refine ten of them.
Martial Vein Body Mold Pill was also among the best grade of unqualified pills. It had the same purpose as a Transcendent Body Mold Pill. However, its effect was much worse; moreover, it could only be used by Martial Vein Realm martial artists.
The selling price of this pill was similarly around a hundred low-grade spirit stones, but its materials cost less than the materials for Top Grade True Essence Pills at just eight low-grade spirit stones.
After purchasing these things, he turned around and left.
Although he truly wanted to stay here for a bit longer, it would be meaningless without more money.
“Ling Xiao!”
Who would have thought that he would hear someone calling him as he walked out of the market?
He looked over and found Xu Ying, who hadn’t shown her face for many days.
There was another person beside her, Ming Tian.
At this moment, their robes had the obvious mark of an inner disciple.
“Xu Ying, I haven’t congratulated you yet. You actually hugged the big thigh of Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy, and your cultivation base has actually improved so much!”
Ling Xiao ignored Ming Tian, simply prasing Xu Xing.
“Pei, you can’t get ivory from a dog’s mouth. You are truly too vulgar.”
Xu Xing mocked: “By the way, you are an outer disciple, so why did you come to the market? Could it be that the Medicine Hall chased you away, so you’ve come to the market to look for work?”
