The third brother, Chen Shaojie, took Sima Xue to exchange for spirit stone bills and some necessary pills.

In the Daqian Dynasty, the pill industry was a very profitable embodiment.

There is no standard for the pricing of pills in the market.

For example, the normal and more popular pills in the market, such as Qi Replenishing Pills and Blood Pills, basically have a similar range of prices.

But if you run up, the price will become more and more outrageous, and it is possible that there will be a price gap of nearly double between two neighboring cities and the same pill.

The main reason for all this is the scarcity of alchemists.

The scarcity of cultivation resources was a very common phenomenon for both the Great Qian Dynasty and the other two major dynasties.

Because all the current refining tools and alchemy techniques have been greatly lacking after experiencing the Dark Ages, including exercises, supernatural powers, and spells.

In particular, the supernatural powers are almost completely inherited from generation to generation, and most of the current supernatural powers are excavated in the ruins of the ancient clan.

It's just that these supernatural spells are very difficult to comprehend.

Even the most low-level supernatural spells are very difficult to comprehend, and a great power once asked: "Could it be that the talent of the human race, the demon race, and the human race ten thousand years ago was so strong, what is the reason why our talent has become so low."

"The demon-level geniuses of today's world, comprehending some superficial supernatural powers in ancient times, need a long time to use them freely, and in the records, even if they are Tianjiao and have superior qualifications, they can be controlled in less than a few days."

This kind of thing is discussed by the entire spiritual world, but for now, the facts are here.

No matter how you discuss, research, and use supernatural means, it's so difficult.

From the embodiment of supernatural powers, it also includes pills, refining weapons, prohibitions and so on.

In ancient records, certain pills could be completely controlled by an apprentice in a few months, but now some geniuses who are proficient in medicinal properties may not be able to refine them for a year or two.

That's why the price of the pill is very outrageous, and even the imperial dynasty can't control it, so it can only be allowed to develop on its own.

It can be described as a real profiteering industry.

In the Chen family manor, there is a part of the family industry, as long as it is a clansman, there are some considerable discounts in price.

Of course, there is also a certain quota in terms of supply, which does not mean that you can buy casually and go outside to earn the difference when the time comes.

If the family finds that the disciple has done some speculative things, it will be a serious punishment for the interests of the family.

It's not uncommon for people to take risks, but as a cultivator, it's not like you can hide it if you want to.

Naturally, as long as the amount is not very large, most of them still turn a blind eye.

In front of the Hundred Treasure Building.

The third brother, Chen Shaojie, handed the small cloth bag in his hand to Sima Xue.

This is the elixir needed from mortal cultivation to foundation building.

Among them, there are three bottles of Kailing Dew.

"The sect's opening spirit dew is only taken twice a year, and the next time it will be half a year later."

"There may be some changes in the affairs of the county city, and you are now on the verge of foundation building, so you will use this day or two to advance to the foundation building realm first."

"There are still some pills here that strengthen the foundation and cultivate the yuan, after being promoted, stabilize first, lay a good foundation, and don't rush to break through."

Sima Xue took the cloth bag with a slight tremor in her hands, and at the same time there was some nervousness in her eyes.

Because in the Baibao Building just now, Sima Xue, who was following the third brother Chen Shaojie, saw it clearly.

The contents of these cloth bags cost more than 10,000 spirit stones.

Usually, Chen Shaojie and Chen Shao'an often have tens of thousands of spirit stones.

But for ordinary cultivators, a spirit stone is very hard-won.

How many cultivators of the foundation realm, especially those of small sects, may not be able to earn hundreds of spirit stones all year round.

For wealth this

Planting things can only be said to be drought and waterlogging.

Spirit stone is a kind of mineral deposit, it is a stone that contains spiritual energy, and it can also be directly used for cultivation, but there are too many impurities in it, and it is not easy to refine.

It's better to directly breathe in the aura between heaven and earth, which is easier in comparison.

There are also ways to extract spirit stone aura, but that doesn't have much need.

Including higher-level spirit crystals and spirit jade, they are only synonymous with the currency of the cultivation world, even if they can be absorbed directly, no one will be willing to give it up.

"Thank you, Third Brother, I will definitely work hard to cultivate." After Sima Xue took the cloth bag, her hands were firmly covered.

The third brother Chen Shaojie replied: "You don't have to thank me, if you want to thank you, you should also go to Shao'an."

"I understand." Sima Xue nodded back.

The third brother Chen Shaojie looked at Sima Xue deeply and said, "It was my idea to choose you as Shao'an's fiancée."

"Shao'an is honest, and he doesn't have too many ideas about many things, and I have protected it too well, and I haven't experienced some dirty things."

"But you have to be clear that as Shao'an's fiancée, everything should be based on Shao'an."

"Now Shao'an can be said to be soaring, and the clouds are soaring, and in the past few days, many elders have come to look for me, which is a matter of marriage contracts from other families."

"There are even some families who are willing to be equal wives and concubines, but I have rejected all of them."

"You follow Shao'an, in this way, it can be regarded as flying on the branch and becoming a phoenix, but you have to be clear about who gave you everything now and even in the future."

Listening to the third brother's beating, Sima Xue's heart tightened, but as the third brother's words slowly came to the back, she gradually relaxed.

"At that time in the sect, and at the time of the Seven Star Sect, you were very good, and I hope you can do the same in the future."

The third brother, Chen Shaojie, saw Sima Xue's nervous and frightened expression, so he said another word.

Indeed, when Sima Xue stepped forward to solve the landing of the Qilin Treasure Ship, those true disciples of the sect secretly made it bad.

And at the time of the Seven Star Sect, the fourth brother had an accident and dared to stand in front of the house.

All made Chen Shaojie more satisfied.

In this world, there is no impermeable wall, and some of the things that Sima Xue did before, especially those involving the disappearance of an inner disciple, quickly spread to the third brother.

In fact, Sima Xue didn't know that in the end, the matter could be suppressed, and in the end, Chen Shaojie secretly intervened in the face of the Chen family.

This made the Sect Law Enforcement Hall finally put an end to the disappearance of an inner disciple.

In that matter, in fact, Chen Shaojie already had the idea of tearing up the marriage contract after returning to the family.

It was Sima Xue's two incidents that made the third brother Chen Shaojie change his opinion.

And in the end, he concealed the matter and did not tell the fourth brother.
