Chapter 6: "Recruiting Chao Yan."

Put away the 417 Qi Pills and lay them all on the table, forming a pile. Zhao Xuan felt a dizzying sensation and couldn't help but feel excited.
They are all money!
Got the Treasure Pavilion, this is more than 70,000 yuan.
However, Zhao Xuan hesitated whether to continue selling these Qi Gathering Pills to the Treasure Pavilion.
But soon, he felt relieved.
Just over seventy thousand yuan, although it is considered a sizable amount of money, it still can't be called a large sum.
However, if there are more sales in the future, we need to be careful.
After all, the world of cultivation is not a benevolent world.
Based on the memories left by his predecessor, he is quite familiar with this world of immortals and understands the law of the jungle in this world.
Being a bottom-level cultivator without much background or connections, if he suddenly brings out too many resources, the only thing it could bring him is disaster.
"These four hundred pieces can still be sold to the Treasure Pavilion. But if there are more, we will have to carefully consider the shipment issue in the future."
Zhao Xuan pondered and began to make plans for the future.
"Strength is the foundation, without it, one cannot even protect their own belongings."
"The money earned can be used to purchase supplies, buy the secret techniques or treasures that I need now, and quickly improve my strength."
"Only with strength can you preserve your wealth."
Zhao Xuan quickly made plans for himself.
Having read numerous online novels in his previous life, he knew very well that in this kind of world, strength is the fundamental aspect and without it, you are nothing.
The more wealthy a person is, the more they need powerful skills to match, otherwise they may even lose their lives.
Putting away the First-grade Gathering Qi Pill into a storage box, Zhao Xuan set off for the Treasure Pavilion.
"Hello sir, what would you like to buy?"
The shop assistant from last time came up and instantly recognized Zhao Xuan, surprised, "Aren't you the gentleman who sold elixirs the other day?"
"Is Mr. Wang Youfa, the shopkeeper, here?"
Zhao Xuan nodded, smiled at the store clerk, and then asked about Wang Youfa, with whom he had done business once.
"Please wait, I will call Mr. Wang to come out." The store clerk politely invited Zhao Xuan to sit down and went inside to find Mr. Wang.
"Zhao, my friend, nice to see you. Do you have more business to take care of at my shop?"
Wang, with a smile, walked out from the inner room and greeted Zhao with a bowed hand.
Rising up, Zhao returned the gesture with a smile and said, "Last time, I sold the Premium Qi-Gathering Pill at Wang's shop, and because the price was very fair, I immediately contacted my alchemist friend after returning."
"My good friend entrusted me with all of his family fortune to sell to Treasure Pavilion."
"Oh!"
Wang Youfa's eyes lit up upon hearing this and he said joyfully, "It seems that your friend has a high regard for our Treasure Pavilion. Haha, please have a seat, my friend."
Zhao Xuan and Wang Youfa politely sat down.
Wang Youfa instructed the maid to serve tea and asked Zhao Xuan to sit and drink.
After some courtesy, Wang Youfa took the initiative to speak, "To be honest, the forty first-grade Qi Gathering Pills brought by Daoist Zhao last time were of high quality. As soon as they were put on the shelves, they were quickly sold out. There are still many cultivators asking if we still have the same quality first-grade Qi Gathering Pills."
"Is there such a thing?"
Zhao Xuan pretended to be surprised.
In fact, this situation described by Wang Youfa was actually within his expectations, after all, the high-quality One-Grade Gathering Qi Pill he provided, were even close to being top-notch.
This level of top-quality Qi-gathering pill is like excellent resources for a cultivator like him at the early stage of Qi cultivation.
Wang You laughed and said, "That's why I have been looking forward to your visit, fellow Daoist. I wonder how many pills you have brought this time?"
"To be honest, Mr. Wang, this is all the savings of my friend. My friend has emptied his pockets and now only has four hundred One-Rank Concentration Pills left. He entrusted me to sell them all to the Treasure Pavilion."
Zhao Xuan pondered and spoke with unusual caution.
Although 70,000 yuan was not enough to make Treasure Pavilion want to kill, he still had to be on guard.
He dared not disclose the fact that he could refine unlimited pills.
"Four hundred pieces, so many?"
Wang Youfa's face showed a pleased expression, "I wonder about the quality, whether it is the same as last time. Zhao DaoYou, please show it to me."
"Please have a look, Mr. Wang."
Zhao Xuan took out a storage box that had been prepared long ago and placed it on the table between himself and Wang Youfa.
Wang Youfa opened the box and immediately started examining it carefully.
"Good! These pills are excellent, almost top-grade. Zhao, our Treasure Pavilion will take all of these pills."
抽检了部分丹药的王友发大喜。
“那么价格方面？”
赵玄趁机询问。
王友发笑道：“这批丹药，十分好卖，上次买过的人都说好。所以，赵道友，这批丹药，我给你按一百七十五块一枚，你看如何？”
"I have no objection."
Zhao Xuan thought for a moment and then smiled.
"Great! I hope Zhao Dao friend will continue to take care of our little shop if there are more Gathering Qi Pills like this. Xiao Zhang, settle the bill with Zhao Dao friend. Four hundred pills at 175 yuan each."
“Roger that!”
Youthful accountant Xiao Zhang promised with a smile.
"Friend, please!"
Wang Youfa gestured invitingly to Zhao Xuan and pointed towards the counter.
"Thank you so much!"
Zhao Xuan approached the counter, and the young accountant Xiao Zhang quickly counted out 70,000 yuan and handed it over to Zhao Xuan.
Zhao Xuan carefully counted the cash, found it to be correct, and then put it into his storage bag.
"Friend Zhao, if there are any more pills like this that help with cultivating qi, please come back to take care of our small shop," Wang You warmly said as he escorted Zhao Xuan to the door.
"Definitely!"
Zhao Xuan turned around and smiled at Wang You, arching his hand, before leaving.
After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, he went to the material market again to purchase the materials for refining a first-grade Concentration Pill.
The reason for continuing to purchase alchemy materials is because he wants to continue alchemy and increase his own capital.
Seventy thousand yuan seems like a lot of money, but in reality, it is still considered small change. Forget about treasures, he can't even buy a decent manual.
This time, Zhao Xuan went to a total of ten stores and purchased enough materials to refine 5,000 pieces of first-grade Qi Gathering Pills from these ten stores.
And the total cost of these materials was 56,700 yuan.
Went to the alchemy workshop again and extended the rental period of the alchemy furnace by one month.
Back at home, took a good rest for the day and the next day Zhao Xuan started refining a top-grade Gathering Qi Pill.
During this month, he has hardly left his house and just grabs food from the supermarket when he's hungry. As a result, in less than a month, only 27 days to be exact, he managed to refine all the materials for these 5,000 pieces of top-grade Consolidated Qi Pills into top-grade Consolidated Qi Pills.
The success rate of Chengdan remains at around 80%, and in the end, a total of 4,193 pills were refined.
This is a terrifying figure.
If calculated at a rate of 175 yuan per pill, it would be over 730,000 yuan.
Even if calculated at 171 pieces, these more than 4000 Qi Gathering Pills can be sold for more than 710,000 high prices.
"Developed, developed!"
Zhao Xuan stared at a large box filled with Qi Gathering Pills, stored in a storage box, and spoke excitedly, with a trembling voice and dazzled eyes.
However, soon after calming down, he couldn't help but start thinking about how to sell so many Concentrated Qi Pills.
He couldn't sell them to the Treasure Pavilion anymore. No matter how kind the store manager Wang Youfa was to him before, giving him over 4,000 Concentrated Qi Pills at once would be no different from sending himself to his death.
Even if Wang Youfa had no intention of killing for treasure before, seeing so many more than four thousand Qi Gathering Pills being taken out, he would inevitably have such thoughts.
"I can't do it alone."
"The power of one person is too weak, and besides, it is easy to make mistakes when making decisions alone in the face of things."
"If I had a large family behind me, it would be great. If I had a Golden Core Patriarch guarding me, I wouldn't have to worry about selling the goods at all. Don't even talk about selling four thousand pieces of first-grade Qi Gathering Pills, even if it's forty thousand pieces of second-grade or third-grade Qi Gathering Pills, there would be no need to worry about selling them."
"With the presence of Golden Core ancestors, it is enough to suppress ordinary demonic clowns and make those with ulterior motives not dare to act out."
"Unfortunately, although I also have a family, the family is too small and does not qualify as a backer for me."
Remembering the ancestral family, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment.
The previous life was also born into a family, but the Zhao family where the previous life was located in the current Kaiyuan City is really nothing to speak of. At best, it is just a type of family with very few and low-powered cultivators.
"Otherwise, let's find Chao Yan and discuss it with him, invite him to join."
Suddenly thinking of Chao Yan, Zhao Xuan's heart stirred.
Chao Yan, he was his closest brother. In this Kaiyuan City, Chao Yan was his only friend. In a sense, the two of them had an unbreakable bond.
Of course, this friendship is not with the present Zhao Xuan, but with the past Zhao Xuan.
But no matter what, the relationship between him and Chao Yan is trustworthy enough.
"One person's intelligence is limited, but two people's minds are broader. Even if I don't need help now, I will eventually need a helping hand."
"As long as I need assistance, I will definitely invite Chao Yan to join me."
"Forget it, let's just bring him on board now. Our previous relationship with Xiaoyan was excellent, and if we can't trust him, then there's no one we can trust."
"Besides, Xiaoyan comes from a better background than me. It is said that there is a Foundation Establishment expert in his family."
"Perhaps the Chao family can help me consume this batch of first-grade gathering Qi pills."
"There is no time to waste, I will go find Chao Yan and partner with him now."
After making all the necessary arrangements, Zhao Xuan packed the box containing the first-grade gathering Qi pills into his storage bag, left his house, and headed towards Chao Yan's residence.
Chaoyan's place of residence is not far from where he lives, only about half a mile.
Zhao Xuan walked there and arrived quickly.
The house that Chaoyan rented is slightly better than the one that Zhao Xuan rented, but it is also very limited, just an ordinary house, just a little bigger in size.
Knock knock knock!
Zhao Xuan knocked on the door.
"Xiao Xuan, why do you have time to come to my place?"
Chao Yan, looking exhausted, opened the door. From his appearance, it was obvious that he had just finished his training.
