"Oh!"

Wang Xiang was slightly surprised, this Xu Ke, as an alchemist, was able to refine hundreds of foundation building pills with only the realm of the early stage of foundation building, and the quality was excellent, which did have some value.

You must know that it is not difficult to refine the Tsukidan, but the Tsukidan that is refined is of superior quality, which is not ordinary.

However, this Xu Ke, who has a lot of alchemy talent, for Wang Xiang, it is just like that, it is dispensable, what he is interested in is the condensing grass used in this Xu Ke's alchemy!

Now in Dongning City, the consumption of Condensing Grass is increasing day by day, and the price is also rising at an accelerated pace, and a large number of supplies are in the hands of the Li family, who can take out hundreds of Condensing Grass at one time, not to mention a foundation building monk, and even some larger families may not be able to take it.

What's more, it was also refined into an elixir for sale!

Therefore, either a certain force directly buys the Condensing Grass from the Li family's shop and refines it into Tsukidan to sell, so as to make a profit!

Either she Xu Ke bought it from the Li family and sold it for alchemy!

Wang Xiang casually offered two conditions, and she directly joined the Treasure Pavilion, indicating that she was not a person of a certain force, because even if she joined, she was just an ordinary alchemist in the Treasure Pavilion, not a high-level of the Treasure Pavilion, so it was meaningless!

And a monk who is only in the early stage of foundation building, there are not many spirit stones, even if she is an alchemist, it will not be too much, the cost of a foundation building pill is about twelve spirit stones, and more than three hundred is close to four thousand spirit stones, Wang Xiang doesn't believe that she can take out so many spirit stones to buy those elixirs!

So, there is only one truth!

"The elixir I used to refine Zhuji Dan, except for the Condensing Grass, the others were all purchased in some shops, but the Condensing Grass was picked from the wild!"

Hearing Xu Ke's words, Wang Xiang looked calm, didn't seem surprised, and still listened quietly.

"A few months ago, several of my brothers went out hunting demon beasts, and happened to pass through a valley, which was cold and cold, and went to explore it out of curiosity, but accidentally found that there were many elixirs in that valley, and all of them were condensing grass!"

Xu Ke paused and continued:

"Moreover, the deeper that valley goes, the more spirit grass there is!"

"However, there are many demon beasts entrenched in the depths of the valley, the lowest are the foundation building realm, and the highest ones have reached the foundation building perfection, and even the Jindan realm!"

"My elder brothers are all in the middle stage of foundation building, and they definitely don't dare to go deeper, so they picked all the spirit grasses on the periphery, and even so, they still obtained hundreds of condensing grasses!"

After listening to Xu Ke's words, Wang Xiang's face was still calm, and he said softly: "The wind is icy, the cold is biting, it is indeed the growth environment of the condensing grass, do you know how many spirit grasses are in the depths of the valley?" ”

Xu Ke touched his chin, a little uncertain.

"At that time, my brothers had never set foot in the depths of the valley, so they didn't know the number of spirit grasses, but when they looked at it from a distance, it was estimated that there were at least thousands!"

Wang Xiang continued to ask, "Where is the valley?" ”

"This ......"

Xu Ke hesitated a little and did not immediately answer Wang Xiang's question.

"Two thousand spirit stones!"

Wang Xiang raised his hand and said, "As long as what you say is true, after I send someone to investigate, I will give you two thousand spirit stones!" ”

"Good!"

Xu Ke agreed in one bite, she had already intended to sell the news, after all, the depths of the valley were full of powerful demon beasts, with their strength, they were categorically unable to pick the elixir, it was better to sell the news and exchange it for spirit stones!

She wasn't worried that Wang Xiang would regret it, after all, she chose to come here to sell the pill at the beginning, because she valued the reputation and integrity of this treasure pavilion!

Evening.

The royal family in the south of the city, in the palace.

Wang Xiang was sitting on the stone bench in his courtyard, picking up a cup of tea with his right hand, tasting it quietly, and his left index finger was still on the stone table next to him, gently tapping, making a burst of orderly sounds.

Beside him, there was a woman standing, who was his maidservant Xiaoya.

After a long time, Wang Xiang suddenly asked softly, "Xiaoya, how long have you been in our Wang family?" ”

"Young master, Xiaoya has been in the Wang family since she can remember, and she has never left."

"Hmm,"

Wang Xiang then asked, "Then do you want to practice?" ”

"Xiaoya knows that her qualifications are dull, and she doesn't dare to become an immortal!"

"Even if the qualifications are insufficient, as long as you work hard, you will always get something." Wang Xiang took a sip of tea and continued:

"In a few days, I'll find a suitable exercise for you."

"Ahh

Xiaoya was a little surprised and quickly knelt on the ground.

"Thank you, young master! Thank you, young master! ”

Swish!

Suddenly, a man in black appeared in the courtyard and walked towards Wang Xiang.

Wang Xiang didn't get up, still drinking tea calmly, and Xiaoya next to him hurriedly retreated when he saw this.

"Young Master!"

The man in black saluted Wang Xiang and said respectfully.

"How's it going?"

Wang Xiang waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down.

The man in black was not polite, and sat on the stone bench next to Wang Xiang.

"Young Master, this Dongning City is too large and has a large population, so it is very difficult to investigate, but the general situation is now understood!"

"Tell me about it," Wang Xiang took a sip of tea and continued to listen to the man's words.

"Young Master, at present, the total population in Dongning City is about fifteen million! Among them, cultivators occupy about eight levels, and there are about 12 million people! ”

"The cultivators below the fifth layer of the Qi Realm have the most, accounting for nearly four layers, those who practice the fifth to eighth layers of the Qi Realm account for about thirty percent, and those who have completed the Qi Cultivation Realm account for about two percent, and the remaining one percent is the foundation building realm and above, but most of them are only in the early stage of foundation building!"

"Oh!"

Wang Xiang was slightly surprised, and thought about it a little in his heart.

The number of people from the fifth to eighth layers of Qi cultivation accounts for three layers, which means that there are about 3.6 million people in this realm, and among these more than 3 million people, except for those with extremely poor qualifications, the rest will be in the next few years, to more than ten years or so, to impact the Qi training to perfection!

However, the lifespan of Qi Cultivation Realm cultivators is short, only a hundred years, and some people will not even be able to achieve the consummation of Qi cultivation in their lifetime.

And the people who have already practiced Qi to perfection, accounting for 20%, about 2 million people, except for some who have been in this realm all the year round, or are too old to practice, or are poor and have no money to buy medicine, the remaining number of people is still quite a lot, so why is there such a shortage of Condensing Herbs, and the price has skyrocketed.

Coming back to his senses, Wang Xiang said softly: "Although it is only a rough data, it is enough for reference, and can you speculate how many spirit stones there are in this Dongning City now?" ”

"Can't speculate!"

The man in black shook his head and continued:

"The spirit stone vein, over the years, has been mined by the City Lord's Mansion, and each family has invested in it, although the mining is slow, but over the years, it has also accumulated a huge amount, even if the cultivation consumes a part, its number is still immeasurable!"

"Well, you've worked hard this time, and in addition, there is one more thing that you need to run." Wang Xiang gently put down the teacup in his hand, and then said:

"Outside the city, in the southeast, there is a valley thousands of miles away, the terrain is low, relatively hidden, but it is extremely cold in the vicinity, you can find it by following the air current, and after exploring, come back and inform me of the situation in the valley."

"Go ahead!"

After Wang Xiang finished speaking, the man in black nodded, then got up and saluted Wang Xiang slightly, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
