481 Chen Jie stretched out his hand and pretended to take out a gourd from his arms, but in fact he took the gourd out from his storage ring.
Then he took one and handed it to Zhao Ya.
Zhao Ya received the Tai Sui Pill and said, "Well, it is indeed a product of Yaowang Valley. The quality is indeed excellent, reaching the upper second grade, close to the third grade."
Thinking about it, Zhao Ya said, "Well, let's do this, one for two. Give me your ninety Tai Sui Pills, and I'll give you one hundred and eighty first-grade Tai Sui Pills."
Chen Jie frowned slightly.
"Don't feel that you are at a disadvantage. If you put these pills in your hands, they are enough to make the strong men in the Wolf Smoke Realm or even above jealous, and then something unexpected will happen."
"Although I am taking advantage of you by exchanging the first-grade item with you, at least I can absorb the hatred and prevent others from hurting you because of coveting you."
"Moreover, these second-grade Tai Sui pills are not very useful for us in the Bao Dan realm. Most of them are used to replenish the Gang Qi in the Lang Yan realm, so we only take the second grade. For us, the first grade is enough for normal use."
The quality of Tai Sui Dan is mainly determined by the quality of the internal energy.
The first-grade Tai Sui Pill, such as the one that Chen Jie once refined, is suitable for replenishing the consumed Qi in the Bao Dan realm.
The second grade is suitable for the Wolf Smoke Realm, the third grade is suitable for the Changhong Realm, and the fourth grade is like a dragon.
Normally, one second-grade Tai Sui Pill can be exchanged for two first-grade ones, but Chen Jie's pill is of upper second-grade quality, so it should be around two and a half pills.
The price Zhao Ya offered seemed to be too low.
But Chen Jie was not dissatisfied with this. After all, Zhao Ya accepted the Tai Sui Pill, which was equivalent to taking the cause and effect away.
Chen Jie can develop with peace of mind.
Besides, they have paid so much, why shouldn't they make some money?
In fact, Chen Jie is not so dependent on this second-grade Tai Sui Pill. First, he has the Changchun Gong, which can reduce the consumption of Gang Qi. The Tai Sui Pill is just the icing on the cake.
Secondly, it was just as Zhao Ya said, it was a bit of a waste for someone like him at the Baodan stage to use this second-grade Tai Sui Pill.
After one pill replenishes the qi in the dantian, the rest is almost all wasted.
Moreover, Chen Jie had a little idea of his own. He didn't need so many Tai Sui Pills and could exchange them for other things.
Chen Jie thought about it and said to Zhao Ya: "Princess, I agree to this deal with you, but Princess, I have a small condition."
Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie and said, "Speak."
Chen Jie said, "One hundred and eighty Tai Sui Pills, I only want one hundred, and I want to exchange the remaining eighty for something else. I wonder if the princess can agree to this?"
Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie and said, "Tell me, what do you want to change?"
Chen Jie heard this and said, "My Lord, I want to exchange for the elixir that can help me advance to the Wolf Smoke Realm."
Chen Jie proposed his idea. Zhao Ya narrowed her eyes and looked at Chen Jie and said, "The Broken Mirror Pill from the Wolf Smoke Realm."
Chen Jie said: "That's right."
Zhao Ya smiled and said, "The elixir is precious. Why don't you exchange it for eighty first-grade Tai Sui elixirs?"
Chen Jie said: "These one hundred can also be added."
Zhao Ya said, "Don't even think about it. I don't have any Wolf Smoke Realm Mirror-Breaking Pills ready-made. Mirror-Breaking Pills of this level require the approval of the court before they can be awarded. Without approval, I have no way of getting them."
"This is a scarce commodity."
After hearing this, Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, "If there is no ready-made elixir, the elixir recipe will also do."
Zhao Ya narrowed her eyes and said, "Chen Jiusi, didn't you inherit the legacy of Changchun Valley? You can also make pills?"
Chen Jie said: "Haha, Princess, you are joking. My master is the apprentice of the great doctor An Desheng. Doctor An is proficient in alchemy, so my master also learned a little bit."
"Doctor An Shen."
The princess said, "I didn't expect that you are actually the apprentice of Doctor An. I had a serious illness when I was a child, and it was Doctor An who saved me."
As the two of them talked, they actually became related, and at the same time they also understood why Chen Jie wanted the recipe for the elixir.
The princess thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible to use the pill formula, but eighty Tai Sui pills are not enough for the recipe of the Wolf Smoke Realm."
"Not enough. Then may I ask, my lady, how many second-grade Tai Sui pills do I need to buy at the market?"
"You can't buy it in the market. This level of pill recipe is regarded as a treasure by both the imperial court and the sects, and they won't be sold easily."
Chen Jie asked, "What if I meet someone willing to sell it?"
The princess said, "Then forty second-grade pills should be enough."
Chen Jie said, "Princess, you just said that you want to buy my second-grade Tai Sui Pill at a one-to-two ratio, but now I want to buy the recipe for the Wolf Smoke Realm Broken Mirror Pill from you for forty pills."
The princess frowned upon hearing this: "Chen Jiusi, you were waiting for me here, but you can't calculate it this way. If you calculate it this way, I won't make any profit at all."
"Besides, you can't buy it even if you have forty second-grade or higher elixirs? I will be at a big loss if I agree."
Zhao Ya frowned. She actually let Chen Jie get involved.
Seeing this, Chen Jie said, "How can the princess lose? Even if I get this pill formula, or even advance to the Langyan realm, I am still serving under the princess. The princess is training more subordinates for herself, and she also got forty second-grade Tai Sui pills for free. The princess is really making a fortune!"
"Um?"
Zhao Ya was stunned by Chen Jie's words, and even felt that it made sense. Chen Jiusi was not her subordinate, so as a subordinate, shouldn't she train him?
And after he becomes stronger, it seems that he can also help me, so it can be said that I can kill two birds with one stone.
Chen Jie also gave a thumbs up to his own sophistry.
Zhao Ya thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I promise you, I will give you the recipe for the Wolf Smoke Realm Pill."
After hearing this, Chen Jie clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Princess."
Zhao Ya thought for a moment and said, "But you have to wait a while. I don't have the recipe. I need to transfer it from Huangzhou Prefecture."
Chen Jie said: "I believe in the princess."
Zhao Ya heard this and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then I'll just give you a hundred Tai Sui Pills."
"Wait a minute, Princess. I want to ask, do you have the medicinal materials for this Wolf Smoke Realm Pill recipe?"
Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie and said, "The recipes are different, the ingredients are different, but they are usually not readily available. You need to apply to the court for distribution."
Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, "What about the herbs for the Huajin and Baodan realms?"
Zhao Ya said, "The imperial court has plenty of inventory. What do you want?"
After hearing this, Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, "I'll make a list with the princess, and she can give me a good price."
Chen Jie thought about it and made a list. The content of the list was very simple, mainly including some related medicines of [Hua Ling Dan].
Among them, the most important thing for Hualing Pill is [Hualing Grass].
Zhao Ya glanced at the list and said, "Thirty. I'll prepare all these for you."
Chen Jie frowned slightly and then clasped his fists and said, "Princess, twenty."
Zhao Ya said: "Chen Jiusi, you are the first person to bargain with me."
"Thirty, that's already the cost."
Chen Jie smiled and said, "Princess, can you make it cheaper? How about twenty-five? How about that?"
Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie and couldn't help but said, "Chen Jiusi, you don't look like a master at all. If your subordinates saw you, they would be disappointed."
Chen Jie said, "My lady, I am just a commoner. How can I be a master? I am not much different from the peddlers on the street. So, please give me some convenience."
Zhao Ya said, "Okay, this princess doesn't bargain, so let's do this. In this case, I will give you these things within three days."
"Okay, then my Lady, I will also give you my Tai Sui Pill in three days?"
Zhao Ya said: "There is no rush. You can find a suitable opportunity and hand it over to me in front of everyone. This way you can get rid of suspicion and avoid being worried about by those who have ulterior motives."
After hearing this, Chen Jie immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Princess."
The deal was done. Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jiusi, you really know how to do business. After all this, why do I feel like I didn't make any money? Instead, I lost some money?"
Chen Jie smiled and said, "My lord, you are kind-hearted. How can this be considered a loss? It can only be considered an investment in your subordinates."
"Investment? What is investment?"
Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie in confusion. Chen Jie smiled and said, "Investing is investing money or other things in order to achieve a certain goal."
Zhao Ya understood and looked at Chen Jie and said, "Then let's consider it as my investment. But Chen Jiusi, you have to remember that you are in danger now. You can only survive by relying on our Ruyang Palace. Don't have any other thoughts that you shouldn't have."
After hearing this, Chen Jie immediately clasped his fists and said, "Princess, don't worry, I understand."
The princess left after saying this, and then sent people to Huangzhou Prefecture to allocate relevant materials and low-level Tai Sui Dan.
Why go to Huangzhou Prefecture? Because Zhao Ya's third brother was serving as Darughachi in Huangzhou Prefecture.
It was for this reason that when Zhao Ya was promoted to the chief steward of the Hubei Wulin, he set up his base in Huangzhou Prefecture. If he went to other prefectures, such as Xiangyang City, that would be the territory of the King of Qi.
In fact, the entire Hubei Road was divided between the King of Ruyang and the King of Qi.
Therefore, the major prefectures and cities in Hubei were interspersed with their subordinates and people from the imperial court, and the situation was very chaotic.
However, there are two places that are their base camps. One is Xiangyang City, which is under the jurisdiction of the King of Qi. The Darughachi in Xiangyang City is from the King of Qi's mansion.
Huangzhou Prefecture was the territory of King Ruyang, and the Darughachi here was King Ruyang's third son.
That is Zhao Ya's third brother.
However, this third brother is not Zhao Ya's biological third brother. He is the adopted son of King Ruyang, not King Ruyang's biological son.
The prince of Ruyang would not easily come to Huangzhou Prefecture, a place on the edge of Ruyang Prince's power. He wanted to follow Ruyang Prince and sit in the center.
Precisely because the Darughachi of Huangzhou Prefecture is Zhao Ya's third brother, Zhao Ya can easily mobilize things in Huangzhou Prefecture.
This includes a large number of herbs, Tai Sui pills, and even more advanced pill recipes, weapons, and martial arts secrets.
Let me tell you here that the Mirror Breaking Pill that can break the mirror is strictly restricted by the court, especially above the Wolf Smoke Realm. One has to pay a certain price to obtain it.
But the Dan recipe is an exception.
In fact, this is easy to understand. Just like the current society restricts firearms, but firearm blueprints are not difficult to obtain.
The same goes for elixirs. The refining of elixirs requires many conditions. The first is that medicinal materials are hard to find. The second is that even if all the medicinal materials are collected, an excellent alchemist is still needed. If there is no excellent alchemist.
Even with these herbs, you can't make pills.
Therefore, the Dan recipe is not strictly controlled.
With Zhao Ya's authority, she can call up a recipe of this level without even notifying anyone.
Zhao Ya left like this, and Chen Jie followed her back to Mianshui City.
