Chapter 1055: 964 Purchase Pill Formula

There were also Pill Formulas for sale for common First Rank Immortal Pills, something Shen Long urgently needed.

The Lin Family’s collection of texts did not have any Immortal Pill Formulas, but fortunately, Shen Long and Chu Buyu had obtained Cultivation Techniques from the Immortal Realm, so they did not have to worry about Cultivation Techniques for now.

They planned to play to their strengths and use the skills they had mastery over to earn their first pot of gold.

The Myriad Puppets Immortal Scripture that Chu Buyu cultivated recorded various methods for Refining Low Grade Immortal Artifacts, including First and Second Rank Immortal Puppet Refining Methods, for which she needed to purchase Immortal Materials to Refine Immortal Artifacts.

The Refining Materials for Immortal Artifacts are called Immortal Materials, and they had collected some in The Lower Realm, but since the properties of the materials varied, they still needed to purchase other Immortal Materials to Refine Immortal Artifacts.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu entered, and saw that the hall was spacious and bright. In the lower left corner was a green counter, behind which sat a ruddy-faced, elderly man in a green robe. Judging by his aura, he was at the Divinity Transformation Stage of Cultivation.

"Welcome, venerable one, to our store. How may I assist you today?"

The man in the green robe quickly stood up and politely said.

"We would like to purchase a Pill Formula for First Rank Immortal Pills."

Shen Long said truthfully.

"If you wish to purchase a Pill Formula, please proceed to the fourth floor. Choose and purchase the formula you desire on your own. Transactions involving Immortal Pill Formulas are to be settled using Immortal Yuan Stones. Artifact Refinement Atlases are on the fifth floor, and Talisman Crafting Manuals on the sixth floor."

The man in the green robe slowly explained, introducing the procedure for purchasing the texts.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu nodded and strode towards the upper floors.

The second floor had over a dozen tall, green bookshelves made from a type of Spirit Jade, shimmering with Spiritual Light.

On the shelves was a large collection of variously colored Jade Stones, each accompanied by two grooves of different sizes.

Shen Long arrived on the fourth floor, while Chu Buyu headed straight to the fifth floor.

On the fourth floor, there were six green bookshelves, each with a square green wooden sign hanging on it with words written on them. One of the bookshelves had a sign that read "Immortal Pill."

Shen Long approached this bookshelf, his right hand resting atop a chicken egg-sized green Jade Stone.

The green Jade Stone instantly lit up brightly, and a deluge of text surged out, floating in mid-air.

Jade Rhinoceros Pill, refined using thirty-thousand-year-old Jade Rhinoceros Grass as the main ingredient and twelve other auxiliary ingredients such as Qingming Seed and Sulphur Leaf Flower. It enhances Immortal Yuan Power, particularly suited for Cultivators in the Early Stage of True Immortality, with the Pill Formula priced at thirty Immortal Yuan Stones.

Shen Long took out one Immortal Yuan Stone and placed it in one of the grooves. The groove lit up with a gentle Spiritual Light, and the Immortal Yuan Stone disappeared.

He then placed in another Immortal Yuan Stone, which the groove swallowed. After consuming thirty Immortal Yuan Stones, it returned to normal.

Another groove lit up with Spiritual Light, and a section of green, glowing Jade that was Law Transmission Bamboo appeared.

This was the Law Transmission Bamboo, a Dharma Treasure unique to the Immortal Realm, capable of recording and replaying images and text.

Together, they had eighty-five Immortal Yuan Stones. Spending thirty to purchase just one Immortal Pill Formula was already quite a luxury.

Shen Long wanted to buy a few more Pill Formulas, but due to a lack of funds, he needed to purchase Immortal Elixirs and had no spare Immortal Yuan Stones to buy a second Pill Formula.

Without lingering, he headed straight to the fifth floor.

On the fifth floor, there were six green bookshelves. Chu Buyu and a medium-built man in green clothes were selecting texts.

The man in green had a much stronger aura than theirs, at the Middle Stage of True Immortality.

The man in green did not pay attention to Shen Long; after paying fifty Immortal Yuan Stones, he purchased a manual and left the place.

"My lady, have you not chosen a manual yet?"

Shen Long asked.

"Too expensive. Let’s look somewhere else."

Chu Buyu frowned and said.

"Fairy Ye recommended that we come here to purchase books. The quality must be guaranteed, so it’s okay if it’s a bit more expensive."

Shen Long was indifferent.

"Forget it, let’s go look around somewhere else! If it doesn’t work out, it’s not too late to come back."

Chu Buyu suggested.

Shen Long nodded and left Hengjin Pavilion with Chu Buyu.

After visiting numerous bookstores, they found that indeed the quality of the books in Hengjin Pavilion was superior and covered a more comprehensive range of topics.

They visited several shops that purchased Immortal Materials and sold most of the Immortal Materials they had collected in exchange for one hundred and twenty Immortal Yuan Stones.

Shen Long spent ninety Immortal Yuan Stones to buy the materials for refining Jade Rhinoceros Pills in three batches.

Half a day later, as the sky darkened, the ground tiles began to emit a soft Spiritual Light, illuminating the entire marketplace as if it were broad daylight, and the crowd swelled in numbers.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu appeared at the spacious Green Stone Plaza, where there were many small stalls, and the Cultivation of the stall owners varied widely. Most were True Immortals, and there were more than a dozen Golden Immortals.

Shen Long and Buyu wandered around. There were many items they didn’t recognize, and they saw a lot of strange new things.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Shen Long suddenly quickened his pace and approached a small stall in front of which stood a kindly-looking old man in red robes, with many items on display, including a green Cauldron Furnace about a foot tall with a pattern of a green lotus engraved on its surface.

The green Cauldron Furnace was a Low Grade Immortal Artifact with four legs and two handles, and there were also many Jade Slips on the stall.

"Fellow Daoist, how much for this Cauldron Furnace?"

Shen Long pointed to the green Cauldron Furnace and asked.

"What good eyesight you have, fellow Daoist. This Green Lotus Cauldron was once used by a pill alchemist. How about eighty Immortal Yuan Stones?"

The red-robed elder said enthusiastically.

Shen Long picked up the Green Lotus Cauldron, lifted the lid, and rubbed his finger on the wall of the Cauldron, revealing some faint black material on his finger.

Based on his experience, this was due to not cleaning the Alchemy Furnace thoroughly, as the black material was alchemic residue that appears when Alchemy fails.

He speculated that someone had used the Green Lotus Cauldron for Alchemy and failed, leaving them unable to sustain further Alchemy attempts, which is why it was not cleaned properly.

If the Green Lotus Cauldron had been sitting idle for a long time, it wouldn’t be dust-free inside

"A brand-new Alchemy Furnace would cost only one hundred and twenty Immortal Yuan Stones at most. I don’t know how many hands this Alchemy Furnace has passed through. I might consider fifty Immortal Yuan Stones."

Shen Long bargained.

"Fifty is too low, my friend. Let’s make it seventy, shall we?"

The red-robed elder stated.

"Fifty-five! Otherwise, let’s forget it."

Shen Long stood up to leave.

The red-robed elder hesitated slightly and hurriedly spoke: "Please wait, fellow Daoist, I’ll sell it to you for fifty-five."

Shen Long stopped walking, went back to the stall, and his gaze fell on three sections of Law Transmission Bamboo, asking, "Do these record the formulæ for Immortal Pills?"

"You have an impressive eye, fellow Daoist. These two pieces of Law Transmission Bamboo record the formulæ for First Rank Immortal Pills, Golden Hao Pill, and Purple Zhi Pill, both of which enhance one’s Immortal Yuan Power. Consider it a deal, the two Pill Formulæ for fifty Immortal Yuan Stones."

The red-robed elder said enthusiastically.

"Seventy Immortal Yuan Stones for both the Green Lotus Cauldron and the two Pill Formulæ, what do you say?"

Shen Long propositioned.

The corner of the red-robed elder’s mouth twitched, and he said with a frown: "Fellow Daoist, that’s not how you haggle! Seventy is too little; at least one hundred, please. You won’t find Pill Formulæ for Immortal Pills at such a low price elsewhere."
