"Oh my god, chaotic amethyst!"
Feng You and Hu Xiaoyu couldn't help but gasp in surprise. The trading unit here was actually Chaos Purple Crystal. After all, Feng You and Hu Xiaoyu only had Chaos Spirit Stones and high-grade Chaos Spirit Stones, not even top-grade ones.
As for the chaotic amethyst, they had only heard of it and never seen it. Here, it was the currency for trade—it was simply insane.
You have to understand, a single Chaos Purple Crystal can be exchanged for ten million top-grade Chaos Spirit Stones. Ten million—that's a deadly figure.
However, besides the Chaos Amethyst, there is an even harder currency—the Saint King Pill. The Saint King Pill is an essential pill for cultivators to advance to immortality.
The Saint King Pill is not a pill only for Saint King realm cultivators; it is a pill consumed by all six Immortal Realm cultivators. Even Heavenly Saint experts need to take it if they want to condense their Heavenly Vein soon.
Therefore, Saint Pills are currently the most resilient currency in the entire cultivation world. One Saint King Pill costs one thousand top-grade Chaos Chaos Spirit Stones, and because Chaos Amethyst is so rare and the exchange rate keeps changing, most people use Saint King Pills for trading.
Ninety-nine percent of the entire Emperor Heaven's Saint King Pills come from the Brahma Heaven Pill Valley, but top-grade Saint King Pills are almost invisible from the outside, because the rogue cultivators outside lack the ability to refine them.
Here, the Saint King Pills traded as currency are supreme-grade Saint King Pills. Other lower-grade pills are not, because the Pill Valley fears being counterfeited. After all, low-grade Saint King Pills can be refined by others.
"A Saint King Pill actually costs ten thousand top-grade spirit stones? Damn, why don't you guys go rob it? Long Chen was stunned. This is way too dark.
There are dozens of refining methods for the Saint King Pill. Even with the finest rare herbs, the cost won't exceed thirty top-grade spirit stones.
Half of the pill cultivators succeeded once in three attempts, and the cost was less than one hundred spirit stones. At the usual price of pills, selling two hundred spirit stones would be a huge profit, but they sold it directly for ten thousand, which was still a strong currency.
"Senior, why don't you help me refine some Saint King Pills? That way, I won't have to go through the trouble of exchanging with them." Long Chen said to the Qiankun Cauldron.
"It's useless. Their pills all have special marks. If we get caught, it'll be a real problem." The Qiankun Cauldron responded.
Alright, since he couldn't refine them, he had to think of other methods. Long Chen originally had quite a few spirit stones on hand, but he rarely needed them. Last time he left with Mo Nian, he basically left them with Guo Ran. After all, refining weapons consumes a lot of energy. He could save on them, but Guo Ran couldn't be stingy.
Long Chen asked Bai Yingxue, but the White Dragon clan had no concept of spirit stones, while Feng You and Hu Xiaoyu, well, were extremely poor.
Long Chen knew that only trading Chaos Amethyst and Saint King Pills was accepted here, which was just a means of Brahma Heaven Pill Valley. How many people could possibly possess such amethyst crystals?
Even if someone owns it, how can they get change when buying things? It's like using gold ingots to buy white buns—who could afford to find them? This was clearly forcing everyone to settle accounts with pills.
But without money, it wouldn't work. Long Chen could only go to the exchange point to check. Suddenly, his eyes lit up—he could actually exchange rare medicines for pills.
"Beautiful, wow, your skin is amazing!"
Long Chen arrived at an exchange window and shamelessly praised her. Although the woman was decent, she was still a bit far from being a beauty. However, her skin was smooth and tender, and she was somewhat confident in this regard.
Hearing praise, he was instantly overjoyed. His polite smile became much more sincere, especially when he saw Long Chen was actually a dragon clan expert, and he became very polite:
"Thank you for your compliment. Is there anything I can help you with?" We are very willing to serve you. "
It's not really a service item. Mainly, I'm pretty poor and don't have many spirit stones, but I do have some rare medicines. I'm not sure if I can exchange them for some pills." Long Chen said.
Seeing Long Chen's sincere tone and the word 'poor' evoking sympathy, the woman said, "
Of course, rare medicines can be exchanged for pills, but we determine the quantity based on their grade and rarity. Anything too low-grade can't be exchanged."
I wonder if you have any rare medicines on hand. Please take them out and let me help you see what you can exchange for. Long
Chen covered her mouth and whispered to the woman, "Um, I have many rare medicines on hand, but I don't really understand their value. Do you have a detailed price list here? Give me a copy."
I'll take a look myself and study whether I can exchange some pills for my meager savings. If not, I'll leave, so I don't have to take out some worthless rare medicines and be laughed at by others. Honestly, I'm not that thick-skinned. The
woman found Long Chen amusing and directly handed him a jade token, saying it was an exchange chart and told Long Chen to study it himself.
Long Chen took it and probed it with his divine sense. He immediately saw countless rare medicine diagrams and corresponding pills. The only rare medicines available for exchange were a few dozen kinds, with the lowest being a few pills and the largest exceeding three thousand.
At first, Long Chen was startled by the number of pills, but after looking closely at the rare ones, he realized they were extremely rare—almost impossible to see.
To put it bluntly, Brahma Pill Valley doesn't lack other rare medicines. What they lack, others probably don't have. This so-called exchange is basically impractical. It's unclear if the Valley is especially short on these rare herbs, which is why the prices are shockingly high.
"I have Jade Bone Purple Heart Bamboo, I have Qiankun Snow Lingzhi, and Great Sun Divine Sunflower—wow, it's calculated by grains. One Great Sun Divine Sunflower can be exchanged for three Saint King Pills. Is Great Sun Divine Sunflower really that rare..."
Long Chen glanced at it. Among dozens of rare herbs on it, he had four. Upon inspection, the most expensive was the Heaven and Earth Blood Ganoderma.
Of course, if you trade for a whole plate of Great Sun Divine Sunflowers, it would cost the most. After some research, Long Chen finally gave him the idea to trade with Jade Bone Purple Heart Bamboo.
The other rare medicines were too valuable; giving them to Brahma Pill Valley was like aiding the enemy, not cost-effective. Although one Jade Bone Purple Heart Bamboo could only be exchanged for a little over five hundred Saint King Pills, Long Chen had a large bamboo forest. Digging up a cluster would yield seven or eight plants.
And a cluster of Jade Bone Purple Heart Bamboo was far more valuable than a single plant. Long Chen listened to the Qiankun Cauldron and dug up a cluster, eight in total. When the woman saw the Jade Bone Purple Heart Bamboo, she was startled and thought she was seeing things.
He quickly arranged for Long Chen to enter a private room. It had to be said, in some respects, Brahma Pill Valley did quite well. The woman didn't exchange for him by single plant, but calculated by the whole cluster, which was much higher than the price per plant.
Originally, it could only be sold for a little over four thousand, but it was sold for five thousand. When she took out five thousand Saint King Pills, even the female disciple from Dan Valley trembled. Clearly, even she had never traded so many Saint King Pills before.
When Long Chen walked out of the exchange point, his stance changed, starting to act more unruly. Looking at Bai Yingxue and Feng You, Long Chen waved his hand grandly: "
Let's go, I'll take you all to show off."
