Rising from Small Cloud Rain Technique - Chapter 307 - 277: Purple Ganoderma Yuan Pill
Ji An thought for a moment and understood that strategic resources like the Nourishing Yuan Pill should be consumed before the sect feels assured.
If a cultivator were to exchange and sell them, it would negatively affect the Contribution Points and Small Merit system.
Such pills would surely be much more expensive outside the sect.
Even if some cultivators want to exchange for their juniors, they should negotiate with the sect, and the pills wouldn’t just circulate loosely outside.
“Understood, then I’ll come to take them when I make a breakthrough.
Junior Martial Uncle, how much Small Merit is required to exchange for the Purple Ganoderma Yuan Pill? What is my yearly quota?”
This is what concerns him the most right now. Foundation Establishment Stage requires a significant demand for pills to quickly enhance cultivation.
“A-class Disciple can receive 20 pills a year. This is a benefit you can enjoy.
If you exchange for the Purple Ganoderma Yuan Pill, each costs 60 Small Merit, and the annual quota is 20 pills.
Fortunately, you are currently the only Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivator practicing the Evergreen Wood Skill in the sect, and the stock of pills in the Treasure Pavilion is quite sufficient.
Please wait, I’ll check the stock.”
Jia Yu’s Divine Sense entered the Spirit Disc to search for pill quantity information and replied:
“Hmm, 396 pills left. If no other disciple breaks through to the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, you can exchange as long as you have enough Small Merit.”
Zhengyang Ancestor mentioned providing some conveniences.
“The exchange price for the Mystic Wood Gathering Spirit Pill is 40 each, but the Purple Ganoderma Yuan Pill needs 60 Small Merits. This price increase is quite steep.”
Ji An grumbled, the 50% increase is indeed significant.
Jia Yu jokingly scolded:
“Don’t get it cheap and act petty, if you wanted to trade outside, the prices would be higher with additional conditions.
Let me see what you brought and can exchange for how much Small Merit; you should have an idea, as two years later, you’ll need to return 26,000 Small Merits.”
He then began to check the Storage Bag.
“This bag contains Tier Two Pine Nuts, ten pounds for one Small Merit.”
Jia Yu started weighing, “Hmm, a total of 90,000 pounds, 9,000 Small Merits, not bad!”
He took out pen and paper to write down the numbers, then continued checking.
“Two thousand Tier Two Lower Grade Green Vine Fruits, 8,000 Small Merits.”
“Fifty Spiritual Apricots, 200 Small Merits.”
“Two hundred Spiritual Peaches, 1,000 Small Merits.”
“Azure Dragon Wood, 1,000 Small Merits.”
“Three hundred sixty pounds of Tier Two Lower-Grade Profound Leaf Sword Bamboo Golden Leaf, 10,800 Small Merits.”
“Not bad, far beyond what I expected, it seems Red Flame Peak had a bumper harvest.”
Jia Yu was deeply shocked, never having seen such a fierce Foundation Establishment Stage disciple earning Small Merits during his tenure at the Treasure Pavilion.
Other Foundation Establishment Spirit Farmers are far inferior, only skilled Chao Origin Stage cultivators could manage this.
“Junior Martial Uncle, don’t be quick to conclude, there’s another Storage Bag not checked yet!”
Ji An smiled, Red Flame Peak has had bountiful harvests these years, and he still had a batch of resources not yet revealed.
The Tier Two Celestial Essence Pear and Earth Spirit Fruit were all kept with him, for personal and Beast Taming usage.
Sword Bamboo Leaf and other Spirit Fruits were also preserved in small amounts, with many Spirit Fruit Trees just beginning to bear fruit, showing only sixty to seventy percent of his capacity.
The Divine Intent Transformation of the Evergreen Wood Skill and the growth of Life Light, coupled with the effects brought by the Second Realm of the Wood Element Magic Intent Transformation, have exceeded expectations by far.
“Hearing from you, there are even better things, let me see well.”
With a bright smile on his face, Jia Yu pulled out a cloth bag from the last Storage Bag.
“More Pine Nuts, wait!”
Shelling the pine nuts, he savors them carefully, “Good boy, Tier Two Middle Grade Pine Nuts.”
He swiftly weighed them, saying:
“One pound of middle grade pine nuts trades for one Small Merit, acquiring 1,500 Small Merits.”
Each Tier Two Lower-grade Red Cloud Pine yields 350 pounds of pine nuts annually, while Middle Grade Spirit Pine yields only about 200 pounds per year.
Jia Yu continued pulling things from the Storage Bag, “Tier Two Middle Grade Sword Bamboo Leaf, 200 Small Merits per pound, totaling five pounds, 1,000 Small Merits.”
As Profound Leaf Sword Bamboo is cultivated to Middle Grade, production slightly increases.
A healthy reddish glow appeared on his otherwise dark face, as although these things didn’t exchange for many Small Merits, they held great significance.
“Good news, why didn’t you tell me! Tell me, what other Middle Grade Spirit Plants are at Red Flame Peak?”
If good things aren’t reported, how can I inform the Ancestor!
Tier Two Middle Grade resources are essential for Chao Origin Stage cultivators, meaning reinforcement of sect foundations.
“Haha, Junior Martial Uncle, aren’t you surprised?
I still have Tier Two Middle Grade Azure Dragon Wood, Spiritual Peach, Earth Spirit Fruit, and Dragon Blood Tree, along with Tier Two Lower Grade Ghost Moon Cyan Jade Tree.”
Jia Yu nodded repeatedly, memorizing everything.
Ji An pointed at several Storage Bags and said:
“Junior Martial Uncle, let’s start calculating, let me see how many pills I can exchange for.”
“Let’s calculate!”
Jia Yu felt pumped with energy, quickly mumbling as he added up numbers from the list on paper:
“A total exchange of 32,500 Small Merits, how do you plan to use them?”
“Junior Martial Uncle, can we negotiate? Give me the portion I can receive over three years at once, then I’ll exchange for 300 pills; is it possible?
You mentioned there’s only me, a Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivator practicing the Evergreen Wood Skill in the sect now. Pills left in the Treasure Pavilion wouldn’t be utilized.”
Ji An instinctively wanted to eliminate all variables, keeping pills at hand is most assuring.
Everything can be negotiated, strive for it, and it might succeed.
“You really dare speak,” Jia Yu laughed, fully aware of Ji An’s intentions.
