Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 228: Making a Fortune Every Day (Part )

Forty low-grade spirit stones would be worth twelve hundred gold. What about three storage bags?

Yang Qian's idea was very simple. The first thing he had to exchange was the elixir, either Lingyun elixir or Xiaolingyun elixir would do. This thing was an experience elixir for him to cultivate, and the effect should be similar to the previous Qiangxue elixir, but much stronger.

If the required elixir is not available, then the storage bag can only be exchanged for gold flakes. The country is short of elixirs, but it can't be short of gold flakes, right?

After all, what Yang Qian wants is still two words: experience.

Compared to spiritual stones, which are priceless, storage bags are still a good bet in the cultivation world. After all, compared to the consumption and currency properties of spiritual stones, it takes a very long time to use a storage bag until it breaks down. After a long period of accumulation, some inventory will always flow out.

Since there is a market and a price, it becomes much easier for Yang Qian to talk to Juan.

A two-foot square storage bag would cost fifty low-grade spirit stones, while a four-foot square one would cost thirty medium-grade spirit stones.

The exchange rate between medium and low quality products is ten to one.

In other words, a four-foot square storage bag requires three hundred low-grade spirit stones.

This price was not mentioned by Yang Qian or Hu An. It was Yang Qian who asked Xu Xiushan the day before when they were chatting. He said that this was the price of storage bags sold in the cultivation world. If it was sold between independent cultivators, the price would be 20 to 30 percent higher.

The price of spirit stones alone may not seem like a big deal, but if you convert it into gold flakes, it would be a very large number.

Of course, although the number is large, it is not excessive. In fact, the only person who is willing to exchange the storage bag for the gold piece is probably Yang Qian.

Juan couldn't help but curiously ask Yang Qian why he collected so many gold pieces? He could not use them up in several lifetimes. What's the point of using them? Why not exchange them for some rare treasures?

Buy with spirit stones, exchange with natural treasures. This is how the Hongwu Dynasty usually obtained storage bags or magic tools. They would also refine them themselves, but there were too few, and the success rate was too low to meet the demand.

This is why Hu An told Yang Qian that he could exchange for something other than gold flakes. The implication was not to help the Hongwu Dynasty, but to help Yang Qian earn more. Because Hu An felt that Yang Qian was willing to exchange gold flakes for spirit stones just now to give him face, so he was also prepared to return the favor.

But after watching it for a while, Juan discovered that Yang Qian seemed to have a mysterious obsession with the gold pieces.

So in the end we negotiated for two prices that seemed quite outrageous.

Two storage bags of two feet square cost three thousand gold in total. A storage bag of four feet square cost nine thousand gold!

The total amount is a big deal worth more than 10,000 gold.

This kind of business cannot be done with any other company, because there is not enough money. Only with a large-scale object like Guochao can the transaction be completed.

It can even be said that both sides feel that they have made a profit.

Yang Qian gained experience. The Hongwu Dynasty saved spiritual stones and other natural treasures. Juan might even be rewarded by the Hongwu Dynasty for this "proper communication".

It’s a win-win-win situation.

However, it will take some time to fully redeem the money. According to Juan, it will take at least a month or half a year.

As for other things, Juan did not express the intention of participating. Even though he knew the purpose of what Yang Qian was doing, he only talked about it and would not actually participate.

However, Juan also said that they would investigate if it involved evil monks, and would help Yang Qian keep an eye on the base camp of the Patrol Case Division to ensure that there would be no more evil monks coming to kill them.

"Deputy Hu, if we encounter evil cultivators outside, for example, in the residence of a certain senior official, can you please handle it?"

Juan smiled and said, "Of course you can. You can bring our people to investigate the case when necessary. But if there is no evil monk involved, our people will not take action."

This is very subtle.

Yang Qian even tasted a strange taste in Juan's words, that is: contradiction!
It was as if the Imperial City was willing to help Liu Chuan, and as a backer, Liu Chuan could freely investigate the evidence of Yue Wang's crimes. On the other hand, it seemed that they were unwilling to intervene directly, and only hoped to show their presence through the mouth of the evil monks. This meant that Yang Qian's original plan to rely on Hu An and other internal guards to fight the case head-on was directly dashed.

In the end, the main force will still depend on Yang Qian's Patrol Case Department.

Yang Qian was busy from morning to night before he had time to go home and rest.

I cooked myself a bowl of noodles in the kitchen as a midnight snack, and then rinsed myself with cold water. This helped to relieve the fatigue from the past few days.

He took out the Tianshuang Sword and practiced several sword techniques in the martial arts hall, from the most basic "Oxtail Sword Eight Styles" to the current "Drinking Snow". It seemed a mess, but Yang Qian had forced it together, and there was an indescribable strange fluency in the chaos.

This wasn't Yang Qian researching some new sword technique, but rather his own way of relieving stress.

He had no sword moves in his mind, and he didn't even think about the direction and rhythm of swinging or moving. He just let go of all restraints, and moved with the sword. While wielding the sword, he emptied his mind. After several rounds, the depression in Yang Qian's heart after experiencing life and death finally disappeared.

"call"

He put down the knife and breathed a sigh of relief.

After his mind became clear again, Yang Qian began to take things out of the storage bag one by one.

Three jade discs.

"The Middle Volume of Five Thunders", "The Thousand Thunders", and "The Shallow Formation".

Yang Qian had been interrupted by his Jindan breakthrough and Xu Xiushan's sudden appearance, and had not had time to log these three methods into his experience panel.

Now that everything is temporarily stable, he has the opportunity to see the specific quality of these three methods.

【Successfully logged into "Five Thunder Volume"】

【Successfully logged into "Thousand Thunders"】

【Successfully logged into "Shallow Array"】

After logging in, Yang Qian was quite surprised to see the situation on the experience panel. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh that the path of cultivation is indeed getting more and more difficult as time goes on. Because there are too many things to take into account and it takes too much energy.

No wonder normal monks are most afraid of biting off more than they can digest. Not only is it a waste of time and effort, it will also hinder the things that should be accomplished, and in the end it is most likely to achieve nothing.

With a thought, new changes appeared on the experience panel again.

"Wind": Great Success 200/200 (can be deduced)

"Five Thunders Volume 0": Getting Started 160/
"Thousand Thunders": Beginner 0/120
Shallow Array: Getting Started 0/300
6 complete martial arts (expandable)

5 doors to perfect spiritual practice (expandable)

Available Experience: 5280
Even though there were still a considerable amount of experience points available, more than 5,000 points, Yang Qian felt his scalp tingling just by looking at the starting experience points of the three newly registered methods.

It’s not just like that, but it’s definitely not enough!
Moreover, the starting experience of "Five Thunders Volume" and "Thousand Thunders Attraction" has doubled compared to the previous methods!
But what surprised Yang Qian the most and made him feel very painful was "Shallow Array".

The starting experience of this method that Yang Qian was very interested in was as high as 300 points! It was nearly twice as high as "Five Thunders Volume 2"!
This is still the most basic and most basic method in the formation. But it is also the most comprehensive. It is most suitable for people like Yang Qian who have no basic knowledge at all as an enlightenment concept to build the understanding of formation.

But just looking at this initial experience, isn’t it too difficult to get started with this formation?

Moreover, the formation is a prerequisite for refining equipment and alchemy.
Only then did Yang Qian understand that the reason why there were so few alchemists and weapon refiners in the cultivation world was not because no one was interested, but because it was too difficult and time-consuming.
