Sun Chen smiled as he took these medicine pills into his hand. After looking through them one by one, surprise appeared on his face. Even though these Grade One medicine pills were all Low Tier with their impurities occupying a little over 80%, they were still very close to the Middle Tier unlike the medicine pills that they usually purchased. Those they usually purchased were similarly in the Low Tier, however, it almost had 90% impurities.
“Brother Bai’s medicine skills are exquisite. My Sun Clan wants all of these spiritual medicines. How about this, I am offering you a price of a hundred and twenty Spirit Stones, what do you think?” Sun Chen raised his head and glanced at Bai Xiaochun. Both his eyes brightening.
Bai Xiaochun was pleasantly surprised. This price was more or less equal to the ratio of one spiritual medicine for four Spirit Stones and was already the highest price for Grade One Low Tier medicine pills.
In reality, a medicine pill averagely costed only one and a half Spirit Stone.
Bai Xiaochun talked things over with Sun Chen with a delightful mood and seeing Sun Cheng was determined to make a good impression, the duo conversed quite long. In the end, Bai Xiaochun agreed that whenever he sends medicine pills in the future, instead of Spirit Stones, he would get herbs of equivalent value. Only then did he leave, feeling satisfied.
Time flew and a couple months quickly passed. In these past few months, other than refining Grade One spiritual medicines in exchange for a large amount of herbs, Bai Xiaochun was also continuously familiarising himself with the refining of various kinds of Grade Two spiritual medicines.
Gradually, he became even more skilled in refining Grade Two spiritual medicines.
As he worked with the Sun Clan’s medicine shop, he noticed that his connection with them was getting increasingly solid. Most of his medicine pills were bought by them. One day, Bai Xiaochun arrived in the Sun Clan’s medicine shop to trade a few bottles of spiritual medicine for herbs. As he was conversing with Sun Chen, Sun Chen sighed as he lamented.
“Brother Bai, based on your achievements in refining medicine, why don’t you refine some Grade Two spiritual medicines? The Hundred Clan Auction that is held once every couple years is going to be held in three months. If Brother Bai can refine Grade Two spiritual medicines before that time, I can arrange for them to be auctioned and the price would definitely be quite high.” Sun Chen looked at Bai Xiaochun. In these past few months, Sun Cheng had realised that Bai Xiaochun had a very cheerful personality and was very tactful. Furthermore, associating with him was quite pleasant, so Sun Chen proposed this matter to him.
Bai Xiaochun had also heard of this Hundred Clan Auction that was held once every couple of years. A hundred cultivator clans in the Eastern Forest Continent gathered together to organise that auction. There were three venues in total. The first venue was chosen to be at the market in North Bank, whereas the second venue was at the market in the South Bank. The last venue was held in the Eastern Forest City, Eastern Forest Continent’s largest cultivator city.
In the years that Bai Xiaochun had spent in the Spirit River Sect, this auction had been previously organised once before. However, at that time, he had only just become an outer sect disciple and was too busy stealing Spirit Tailed Chickens to eat and didn’t have any interest in the auction.
Pondering for a few moments, Bai Xiaochun had a slight change of heart, and after enquiring about the time for the auction at the South Bank, Bai Xiaochun bid Sun Chen farewell and returned to the Medicine Refinement Pavilion. He sat cross-legged and thought long and hard before finally reaching a conclusion.
“Sun Chen has a point. Rather than selling a little bit here and there, wouldn't it be better for me to take this opportunity to auction the medicines I refined for a good price? This way, I can exchange them for even more valuable herbs.” Bai Xiaochun thought to this point as the Grade Two spiritual medicines surfaced into his mind. In the end, he chose… the Purple Rising Qi Pill that he was most familiar with.
Once he set his heart to it, Bai Xiaochun closed himself in the Medicine Refinement Pavilion and started refining Purple Rising Qi Pills. Two months later, Bai Xiaochun had spent most of the herbs traded for the medicine pills that he had refined. He had already refined three whole bottles of Purple Rising Qi Pills, with ten pills in each bottle.
There was especially one pill which was coloured slightly differently from the rest of the pale-purple medicine pills. It was deep purple in colour and the rich medicinal aroma seemed to be trapped within it.
When he was refining this medicine pill, the pill furnace in front of Bai Xiaochun had been slightly shaking, much different than usual. Even the fire had suddenly swelled up.
He now held this deep purple s
