  ————————————————————

  Lay's injuries and going berserk are not the same. But thinking carefully, there are some commonalities... Both have problems with their internal energy circulation system, resulting in an inability to condense energy.

  The introduction of Juyu Buxi Decoction also says that it has a miraculous effect on treating injuries to the internal organs and meridians. This world doesn't have much to say about meridians, but the source of Chi... The principle of this thing should have some connection with meridians, right?

  After all, the flow of energy in the body is also governed by certain rules, and the source of the flow is similar to that of the elixir field. One's cooking skills will be adjusted according to the laws of this world, and this dish should be no exception.

  But this dish requires materials that are more than just some monster meat.

  From the name, it can be seen that this "聚元补气汤" is not an ordinary home-cooked dish, but a medicinal cuisine. As a medicinal cuisine, the main ingredients are basically various medicinal materials. These medicinal materials may not be particularly rare in the game, after all, they are consumable items that can be sold out every day. But in this world, it's hard to say.

  In fact, the materials that Jiyuan has on hand to make Yuanyu Buxi Decoction are only some bones of magical beasts. These bones were carefully selected and left behind by Jiyuan, just suitable for decocting. However, the bones of third-level magical beasts contain limited energy and can't be used many times.

  Other materials, almost all of them require the White Silver rank to be effective. After all, Uncle Leis himself is a White Silver rank, and he has even reached the fifth or sixth level before. The Bronze rank materials have little effect on him now.

  Collecting these materials requires money. But how much money is still an unknown number. It's hard to say how much the things in everyone's hands are worth now, let's wait until the materials are sold before considering it.

  Uncle Leys listened to Jiran's words and just smiled calmly. He also understood the truth that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, so he was trying his best to calm himself down. But in fact, who knows how much hope he had?

  One night without incident, everyone finally slept soundly after leaving the Blue Pine Forest. However, Ji Ran did not go to sleep directly, but instead sat in meditation to cultivate. Now, obtaining experience points through this method had become his fastest means of leveling up.

  According to his calculations, with each night's cultivation, he would be able to reach level 26 in less than two days. The experience gained from killing the five divine officials and the true god's avatar had brought him close to leveling up. Unfortunately, the true god's avatar had not fully descended yet, so the experience it gave was not too much. Otherwise, jumping two levels at once was also possible.

  But even so, after reaching level 26, at this rate of cultivation, it will only take about half a month to upgrade again. This upgrading speed is really terrifying, according to the ranking system in this world, it won't take half a year to upgrade to the next level. In this world, such an upgrading speed, even if it's just the early stages, is already extremely fast. Of course, by the later stages, upgrading will not be possible at this rate anymore, being able to upgrade once every few years would already be quite good.

  What's more, there are many people who get stuck at a certain level and can't make progress for their whole lives.

  The next day, after everyone had washed up, they went to the transaction market in the town and sold off some of the materials they had obtained this time. In addition, there were also those two magical tools, and after discussion, everyone decided to sell one of them first.

  Songpan Town is not remote, but it's not a big place either. Magical tools are naturally precious here, but they can't be sold for a high price. After all, the adventurers who come here are generally not of a high level and can't afford to spend a lot of money on such precious things. Selling one inferior item and keeping another, you can take it to a big city to sell again.

  These two magical tools were obtained from the followers of the True God Cult, and their effects are not very good - at least Ji Ran doesn't think much of them, but for ordinary adventurers, they are already quite rare and valuable. After Old Mack's appraisal, they are worth around 400-500 gold coins. Adding other materials, this time they can sell for over 2,000 gold coins.

  The reason for not selling all the materials is to keep some of them for personal use, after all, Ji Ran is a alchemist who can make magical weapons. As an adventurer, who doesn't want their equipment to be more powerful?

  They basically haggle over prices, and Ji Yan can only watch from the side. There's no way he can understand the market price of this world, nor can he figure out the specific prices of those materials. And in a small town where adventurers gather, there are absolutely no shortage of swindlers... If he rashly tries to sell things, it would be strange if he doesn't get cheated to death.

  It's good that I have the opportunity to learn now, and it will increase some experience. My future plans can't be separated from buying and selling various materials and finished products, so it's not a bad thing to take a look at the true nature of this world's merchants first.

  In fact, he really saw that the scoundrels of this world were not much worse than those in his original world. For the materials brought out by Lais and others, all kinds of slanders, such as poor quality, problematic handling, and poor preservation, were used to lower the price to the limit. This was also why Lais and others, with their rich experience in adventure, finally got those scoundrels to buy these materials at a relatively reasonable price.

  Time is too tight

  "Otherwise, I'll just take my time and look for a few more houses. I should be able to sell a bit more." Despite this, Lais still shook his head.

  Ji Ran looked puzzled: "As far as I know, the merchants who buy materials outside this adventure area don't pay a high price, do they? Anyway, we're going to Pers City, isn't it better to sell them there?"

  Beck heard Ji Ran's words and immediately bounced over to hug Ji Ran's shoulders, with a triumphant smile on his face.

  "Haha, you don't understand this! If it were any other time of the year, what you said would be true. But during this season, going to Perth to sell various materials, the price is actually lower than here."

  Ji Ran thought for a moment and suddenly understood: "Is it because of the entrance exam for Tianlan University?"

  Barn smiled and nodded: "That's right. Every year, many teenagers of the right age plan to take the entrance exam for the Azure Sky Academy, but not everyone is a child from a wealthy family. So, people like us who hunt magical beasts to earn tuition fees make up the majority. Among them, there are naturally some who can't sell their materials in time elsewhere and rush to Pers to sell them. Think about it, Pers is known as the city of commerce, so the merchants there wouldn't be worse than those here, would they?"

  It's indeed the case. Ji Ran nodded in understanding. It's also understandable that they would want to make a profit from you, who are eager to use their money. If they didn't make any money from you, wouldn't those businessmen be doing it for nothing?

  "But it's not all bad, at times like these the prices of Pars' magical tools will rise. When we go to sell this tool, we should be able to make a bit more money. If Ji Ran hadn't said to prepare some extra money, I wouldn't have even wanted to sell that one." Lays felt a pang of regret about selling the magical tool.

  Ji Ran listened to this and smiled, shaking his head: "Lais Uncle, now is a good opportunity for us to collect some materials. The materials we have stored are not enough for me to make a magic tool for each person. The remaining materials will be wasted if we don't prepare some money. If we don't have enough money when we arrive at Pers City, I'll just make another magic tool to sell... one or two shouldn't be a big problem."

  Knowing that Ji Ran did this for their own good, others didn't raise any objections. After selling all the materials they had to sell, the group prepared to stroll around the trading district to see if they could find anything useful.

  "Uncle Leis, that ore... Ah, yes, obsidian, buy two pieces, about five kilograms or so. Ah... And that herb, silverleaf grass, need at least ten stalks or more. That magical beast's bone is good... Is it expensive? Then forget it..."

  Ji Ran pointed out various materials from behind, letting Lais and the others buy them. After all, Lais and the others were old hands, and they knew the prices of various materials much better than him.

  I didn't plan on buying too much material here, just enough for Ji Ran to refine on the road is fine. More materials can be bought in Boers later, after all, it's cheaper. And the various materials in that place are definitely much cheaper than here. But actually, Ji Ran's idea was to pick up some leaks... The adventurers here have little experience, and they might sell treasures as garbage.

  Not long after, Ji Ran really found an opportunity.

  On an adventurer's stall, there was a pile of Cloud Crystal. This crystal has cloud-like patterns inside and can be used as materials for crafting magical tools. However, the production volume of this crystal is relatively high, and it can be found all over the continent, so the price is relatively low. Unless it's of high quality, it won't sell for much money.

  What he liked was not a high-quality rolled crystal, but a crystal with many impurities inside. The crystal is about the size of a fist, and almost half of it is a kind of dark impurity, which completely destroys the integrity of the entire crystal.

  Ordinary people would naturally think that this cloud crystal is almost worthless, and the seller probably just wants to make a little money. But if someone who knows their stuff sees it, they'll know it's a rare associated mineral - Po Yun Tie!

  This broken cloud iron is a metal that is relatively light in weight, but has a good hardness. If it were just these two points, this metal would not be considered rare, the most important thing is that the things made of this metal have a natural effect of eliminating air resistance!

  That is to say, using this broken cloud iron to make flying instruments will greatly increase the speed. In "Xian Xia Xiang", this broken cloud iron is a top-grade material for making flying treasures or flying swords - even if it's a golden grade treasure sword, if conditions permit, some broken cloud iron will be added appropriately.

  Take it down! This broken cloud iron must be taken down! Ji Ran made up his mind and whispered to Beck on the side.

  Baek gave him a reassuring look and ran to the stall, haggling with the owner. He was also quite clever and wouldn't just focus on that one crystal, but picked out several others. After haggling for half a day, he finally ended up using the crystal as an add-on, citing the price being too high.

  The stall owner obviously didn't recognize the broken Yun Tie, so he let Beike easily buy back this roll of Yun Qi crystal containing most of the broken Yun Tie.

  After getting this piece of Yunyun crystal which is mostly broken cloud iron, Ji Ran was naturally excited. Countless predecessors who had crossed over before taught us that there are good goods on the street stalls, and it really didn't cheat me!
