Since he agreed to Yan Biao's hunting operation, Qi An had to stay in the city for a few more days, and he had to prepare before setting off to kill the demon.

First of all, Qi An took a fancy to the space storage bag in the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, this thing is much more convenient to use than the Hundred Treasure Bag, but a small space storage bag needs two Yuan Beads, Qi An has a lot of coins on his body, but the Yuan Zhu does not have it, so he pondered what he can have on his body that can be exchanged for Yuan Pearl.

In addition to some worldly coins and the wordless iron plate that Moro hid in, Qi An'an only had a Beast Demon Inner Pill and a bottle of Peiyuan Pill, both of which were rewards he received in Pingyang County after killing Li Liuxian three years ago.

For Qi An, the beast demon Neidan didn't know what to use it for, but he could take it out and see if he could exchange it for some yuan beads.

The Pei Yuan Pill is given to the Innate Martial Sect, which contains a certain amount of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, which can be quickly converted into true qi and stored in the dantian after taking it, but the effect on Qi Condensing Monks is much weaker, and Qi Condensing Monks usually take Qi Nourishing Pills to assist in cultivation.

The Qi Nourishing Pill and the Pei Yuan Pill are of the same nature, but the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi contained in them is much richer.

Of course, there are also monks who will directly absorb the true qi in the Yuan Zhu to accelerate their cultivation, but the true qi in the Yuan Zhu is artificially infused, which is more mixed, and even has their own attributes, and the absorption efficiency is not good, and it is not as pure as the medicinal power contained in the pill, so the pill is still the best choice to accelerate cultivation.

Qi An walked out of the teahouse and came to Wantong Qianzhuang opposite the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, and as soon as he entered the door, a shopkeeper ran over and greeted: "This son, do you need to exchange yuan beads?" or sell materials?"

Qi An was stunned for a moment and asked, "Isn't it the same meaning to exchange yuan beads and sell materials?"

The shopkeeper was also stunned: "What does this mean? The exchange of yuan beads is to exchange yuan beads of different grades or different attributes, we only charge handling fees, and selling materials is selling things, this is completely two different things!"

Qi An was surprised and said, "Yuanzhu is also divided into grades and attributes?"

The shopkeeper immediately knew that this guy didn't have much knowledge, so he began to explain: "The Yuan Zhu is produced by the cultivator who injects his own true qi into the inside, and the strength of each cultivator and the true element attribute are different, which leads to a variety of Yuan Zhu on the market, each with its own difference, just take the grade, the Yuan Zhu made by the Qi Condensing Monk is the lower grade, the Yuan Zhu made by the Great Cultivator of the Refining God is the middle grade, the Yuan Zhu made by the Rong Yuan Zhenren is the top grade, and the Yuan Zhu made by the True Monarch of the Crossing Tribulation is the best." ”

Qi An asked: "Could it be that there is a difference in the size of the Yuan Pearl?

"Definitely!" the shopkeeper replied: "The size is the same, but the true yuan energy contained in different grades of Yuan Zhu is very different, the higher the cultivation realm, the more condensed the true qi, the more powerful the compression, so the higher the grade of the Yuan Zhu produced." ”

Qi An asked again, "What about that attribute?"

Dian Xiaoer was not impatient, and explained in detail: "The attributes are also related to the maker of the Yuan Bead, the exercises practiced by the cultivators are different, and the true qi cultivated by them also has different attributes, for example, if someone cultivates [Chiyan Jue], then his true qi is the fire attribute, and the other person cultivates the [Black Water Jue], then his true qi is the water attribute, and the Yuan Zhu produced by the two of them, one fire and one water, are also two different attributes. If you want to cultivate with the help of Yuan Zhu, then it is best to use Yuan Zhu with the same attribute as yourself, if the attribute is different, the effect will be reduced a lot, if the attribute is opposite, it may also cause the true qi to rush, causing madness. ”

"I see!" Qi An nodded.

The shopkeeper said again: " The main business of our Wantong Money Bank has several aspects, first of all, the exchange between the yuan and the pearl, we only earn a little handling fee from it, and the proportion of the exchange is changed at any time, adjusted according to the market trend; secondly, it is a loan, but it is rarely aimed at individuals, and it is generally faced with a variety of large and small cultivation forces, unless the individual is guaranteed, or its own reputation is very large, and the style is decent; then there is pawn, the pawn items can be redeemed within the time limit, and the time limit is equivalent to selling; and finally the acquisition of various materials, which is just a side business。 ”

Qi An nodded in understanding, then took out the Beast Demon Inner Pill and the porcelain bottle containing Pei Yuan Dan from the treasure bag on his waist, and said to the shopkeeper: "I'm here to sell items, how much can you look at these two things worth?"

"Please go inside first, let's sit down and talk!" The shopkeeper did not look at the goods immediately, but first led Qi An to the reception table and chair in the store, poured him a cup of tea, and then took the two things in Qi An's hand.

He opened the porcelain bottle first, poured out a pill of Pei Yuan Dan and only glanced at it, then said to Qi An with some disappointment: "Childe, this is Pei Yuan Dan, it is an elixir for innate martial artists, and it can't even be exchanged for a Yuan Pearl, usually what Yuan Zhu exchanges is at least an item that can be used by monks, your bottle of pill can only be exchanged for coins, this bottle has a total of twenty pieces, I can be the master to exchange two jade coins for you, what do you think?"

Qi An had guessed that Pei Yuan Dan was not worth much, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even exchange a yuan bead, if he could only exchange coins, it would be useless, there was no shortage of coins on his body, and there were still several jade coins, so he didn't agree, and pointed to the beast demon Neidan and said to the shopkeeper: "You look at how much this is worth?"

The shopkeeper replied without looking at it: "This is the Neidan of the low-level beast demon tailless mink, which is very common, and the purchase price of this store is usually one yuan pearl." ”

"What? It's only worth one yuan pearl?"

Qi An couldn't believe it, you must know that this is the inner dan of the beast demon! Any beast demon can at least match the early stage of condensation Qi cultivator, it is not easy to hunt and kill, and if the strength is not good, there is even danger, and the production of Yuan Zhu does not need to be in danger, just find a secluded place to instill true qi, the two are obviously not the same level of difficulty.

The shopkeeper explained with a smile: "The tailless sable is almost the weakest beast demon, and the most valuable thing on its body is not Nedan, but the soft fur, a complete tailless sable, the purchase price given by the store is only three yuan beads, and the value of the fur accounts for most of it, and it is very fair for Nedan to bid one yuan bead." ”

Qi An couldn't help asking, "Then I want to ask, how long does it take for a Qi Condensation Early Stage Cultivator to make a Yuan Bead?"

The shopkeeper looked at Qi An a little strangely, and thought to himself: Isn't this person a monk? Otherwise, how could he ask these common-sense questions?

Qi An probably guessed the other party's thoughts, and smiled: "I have been practicing in retreat before, and I have just been promoted to the Qi Condensation Realm, and I don't understand many things. ”

The shopkeeper said "oh", and replied: "Generally speaking, for different people, the speed of making Yuan Beads is also different, the true qi consumption generated by the cultivator infusing a Yuan Bead in the early stage of Qi Condensation will probably take a whole day of meditation and cultivation to replenish it, while the middle stage of Qi Condensation will be shortened to half a day, and the late stage of Qi Condensation will be doubled again, which is three hours, and the peak of Qi Condensation is due to the large gap in individual strength, which is different. ”

After a slight pause, the shopkeeper said again: "There is another point to note, that is, the Condensation Qi Realm can only produce lower-grade Yuan Beads, but the strength is different, resulting in different efficiency, and the Refining God Realm can only produce medium-grade Yuan Beads, and the efficiency is also improved with strength, and the same is true for the higher-grade top-grade Yuan Beads and the best Yuan Beads." ”

"I see, I've been taught!" Qi An clenched his fists sincerely.

The shopkeeper returned the salute and said, "You're welcome!"

Qi An said to the shopkeeper with some embarrassment on his face: "I plan to buy a small space storage bag in the Qianbao Pavilion opposite, the price over there is two yuan beads, do you think this beast demon Neidan can add me another one?"

The shopkeeper thought for a while, and then said, "If you want a small space storage bag, why don't you leave Neidan, and I'll give you a small space storage bag here, what do you think?"

Qi An smiled: "Very good!"

So the shopkeeper accepted Nedan, said "Please wait", and turned to the back hall.

When he was young, the shopkeeper took a small black cloth bag and handed it to Qi An: "This is your small space storage bag, do you need anything else?"

Qi An took the small cloth bag, shook his head, hugged his fists and said "thank you", and then said goodbye and left.

After eating a bowl of stuffed wontons on the street, Qi An found a quieter inn in the city, booked an upper room, and excitedly took out the space storage bag to play. But when he was about to use it, he was suddenly dumbfounded!

Only then did Qi An remember that this space storage bag needed a trace of true qi to open and close, but now that he was all over his body, how could there be a trace of true qi?

The body refining method does not use the dantian, and it cannot produce true qi, but it does not mean that the body refining monk does not have a trace of true qi available, after all, the body refining monk is also cultivated from the innate martial sect, and the innate martial sect can already accumulate true qi in the dantian, so the body refining monk's dantian also has a little bit of true qi available, even if there is no at all, a little cultivation with the qi refining method will also produce a wisp of true qi, so it is no problem for the body refining monk to use the space storage bag.

And the difficulties that Qi An is currently facing are not due to the difference between refining the body and refining the qi, the key is that the Spirit Devouring Demon Fire is because of the existence of the Spirit Devouring Demon Fire, and the true qi cannot be retained in the dantian.

Qi An was a little worried, and finally got a space storage bag back, but it couldn't be used, do you say depressed or not?

However, when Qi An saw the small porcelain bottle in his hand, he suddenly had an idea, pulled out the cork, poured out a pill of Peiyuan Dan and threw it into his mouth.
