"Then wouldn't the largest share of the Secret Realm be taken by them?"
Yan Lei naturally knew that cooperating with the Chamber of Commerce would be easier.
But he was greedy!
"Heh, Fellow Daoist Yan, do you think with the methods of those Chambers of Commerce, they wouldn't discover that Secret Realm? It's just that they are also preparing their forces."
"As it stands, if you go ahead, perhaps they will even let you on their ship."
"If you're late, you won't even get a sip of the soup."
Su Bai's few understated words.
Made Yan Lei's expression constantly change.
In fact, when they were exploring the Secret Realm, they had indeed discovered traces of several merchant ships nearby.
It was just that the ships did not approach their side.
They then self-comforted that the Secret Realm had not been exposed.
But at such a distant location, why would merchant ships go there for no reason?
There was no trade route there.
Seeing that Yan Lei seemed to understand this matter, Su Bai continued:
"Fellow Daoist Yan, you have already invested a lot. Now you still have a chance to withdraw. Your business in the market has not been affected yet. If you wait for a while longer, even the business here will be affected, and when those large Chambers of Commerce also start to act, it will be too late."
"Now, if you go and sell your intelligence to Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, you can not only earn back some Spirit Stones, but also get on their ship and explore the Secret Realm together."
"At that time, even if it's just the leftovers, there will still be something to gain."
"Don't end up losing both the wife and the army."
"Slurp~"
Yan Lei certainly understood this principle.
It was just that ever since his identity as a robber cultivators was whitewashed.
His business had always been stable.
Although he had always made a profit, he had never experienced that joy of wealth falling from the sky.
This time, seeing the Secret Realm.
Yan Lei believed his chance to get rich overnight had arrived!
As long as there was a harvest from this Secret Realm.
He would definitely make a huge profit, and perhaps even extend his hand into the Inner City of the market!
At this moment, hearing Su Bai's advice.
This ambitious Foundation Establishment Cultivator's back suddenly hunched a little.
"Senior Su's words are correct, I was too focused on appearances."
"Thank you for your suggestion, I shall take my leave first."
"Next time, I will bring good wine to bother Senior again."
After Yan Lei left.
Within a few days.
The entire market began to buzz.
News spread that Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, in conjunction with several Chambers of Commerce under the Six Sects, was going to explore a Secret Realm.
"Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion has released news! In one year, preparations will be complete, and they will head to the Outer Sea to explore a Secret Realm!"
"Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion seems to still be recruiting Loose Cultivators. If you're late, you'll miss the Opportunity!"
"There's actually a Secret Realm in the Outer Sea, hehe, the great sea truly holds Opportunities everywhere."
"Yes, last time I obtained a thousand-year-old deep-sea coral in the Outer Sea. Although it hasn't reached the level of a third-tier treasure, it can still have some effect on a Core Formation True Person, allowing me to make a huge profit!"
"Oh? This Fellow Daoist has actually been to the Outer Sea, his cultivation must be extraordinary."
"Hahaha, not at all, just a mere Late-Stage Foundation Establishment."
Everyone was discussing that mysterious Secret Realm.
Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion and the people from the Six Sects must have already investigated some information about that Secret Realm.
Back then, Xu Changge only took one month to investigate a general idea.
If these large organizations were to act.
They would know more details than Xu Changge did.
Of course.
Currently, the Cultivators in the market only knew that there was a Secret Realm.
As for where the Secret Realm was.
And what kind of Secret Realm it was, they knew nothing.
But that didn't stop these Loose Cultivators from joining the fun.
They all began to purchase Medicinal Pills and Talismans to prepare.
Some Artifact Refining workshops were also overflowing with people.
They were either there to custom-order new Magical Artifacts or to repair Magical Artifacts.
One day.
A Cultivator wearing a bamboo hat walked into Danfu Pavilion.
The person went straight to Su Bai.
"Shopkeeper, do you accept Alchemy commissions?"
Su Bai, who was reading, looked up and sized up the person.
In broad daylight, dressed in black, wearing a bamboo hat, and masked.
Tall and with hidden cultivation.
Seemed quite cautious.
Su Bai nodded.
"We do, but you know the Alchemist's rules."
"Naturally, I do."
After speaking, the person took out a Pill Formula from a Storage Pouch.
"Shopkeeper, I want to refine this Medicinal Pill. Take a look, can it be done?"
Su Bai took the Pill Formula.
She frowned slightly.
"Nurturing Spirit Pill, it can nourish and repair the Spiritual Root of Cultivators with damaged Spiritual Roots."
This kind of Medicinal Pill is quite rare.
At least there aren't many similar Medicinal Pills in Zhang Country.
This Pill Formula was probably from somewhere else.
However, Su Bai was just an Alchemist and wouldn't ask anything she shouldn't.
After reading the Pill Formula, she nodded.
"A High Grade second-tier Medicinal Pill, a bit difficult, but it can be refined."
"Among the Spirit Medicine…"
At this point, Su Bai glanced at the person.
The Cultivator, whose true appearance was concealed, casually took out a Storage Pouch and placed it in front of Su Bai.
"Three sets of Spirit Medicine."
Su Bai inspected the Spirit Medicine in the Storage Pouch.
Comparing them one by one with the Pill Formula.
"Confirmed, the Spirit Medicine are all fine."
Seeing Su Bai confirm the Spirit Medicine, the Cultivator asked:
"Three months, is that enough to complete the Alchemy?"
"Three months? Yes, it is."
"Good, I will come to collect the Medicinal Pills in three months. If anything happens, you can directly find me in Room 12 of Baixiang Tower across the street."
The Cultivator left after leaving his residence.
Meanwhile, Su Bai continued to look at the Pill Formula in her hand.
This Nurturing Spirit Pill, for Cultivators with damaged Spiritual Roots, is a Medicinal Pill that repairs the Spiritual Root.
But Cultivators whose Spiritual Roots are not damaged can also take it.
The effect changes from repairing the Spiritual Root to slightly enhancing Spiritual Root Aptitude.
Of course, this enhancement is quite limited.
It's impossible for you to go from a pseudo-Spiritual Root directly to a Low Grade Spiritual Root.
If it had such a Heaven-Defying effect, it wouldn't be a second-tier Medicinal Pill, but a third-tier one.
As for whether a third-tier Medicinal Pill has this ability, Su Bai didn't know, she was just guessing.
Perhaps only a fourth-tier Medicinal Pill would have such a strong effect.
Back to this Nurturing Spirit Pill.
If Su Bai were to Cultivate for one year, she would probably increase her spiritual power by two drops. If she took this Medicinal Pill, her Cultivation time might be reduced by three to five days.
It seemed a bit useless.
But what if this was the effect of a Medium Grade Medicinal Pill?
Would a High Grade Medicinal Pill reduce it by ten days, and a Pill with Pill Markings reduce it by a month?
All of a sudden, wouldn't the Cultivation speed increase by nearly ten percent!
"I just don't know if the Medicine King Canon has any effect on this Medicinal Pill that acts on the Spiritual Root."
Su Bai guessed that it should have some effect, but not much.
After all, the Spiritual Root is extremely mysterious.
The Medicine King Canon itself being able to eliminate Medicinal Pill resistance is already Heaven-Defying.
At least Su Bai, having Cultivated until now, has always been taking Medicinal Pills that boost her cultivation, which is also why her Cultivation speed hasn't decreased.
If it even had an effect on this kind of Medicinal Pill that enhances the Spiritual Root.
The Medicine King Canon shouldn't be called the Medicine King Canon anymore.
It should just be renamed the Immortal King Canon.
"Heh heh, although it can only slightly improve Aptitude, it is useful to me, and it can be considered a great Opportunity I've finally encountered after many years."
