If it was just that Chu Ning gave a Foundation Establishnt Pill to the fat cultivator with the surna Ma, people were rely surprised and suspicious.
So even speculated whether Chu Ning had obtained the Foundation Establishnt Pill from sowhere else.
Now, after Chu Ning casually handed out another one to the white-haired elder with the surna Liao, there was no more doubt among the people.
Imdiately, under the fervent gazes of the crowd, another Foundation Establishnt Cultivator stepped forward to request a purchase.
He offered three kinds of spiritual herbs plus 1,500 Lower Grade Spirit Stones.
Although the Spirit Stones were not many, Chu Ning found the spiritual herbs useful and sold the pill directly to him.
Seeing Chu Ning possessing so many Foundation Establishnt Pills,
another Foundation Establishnt Cultivator stepped forward, offering no spiritual herbs but 2,500 Lower Grade Spirit Stones.
Chu Ning glanced at him coldly and simply said two words.
"Not selling!"
This Early Stage Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, who didn’t look very old and had a black mole on his face, paused his smile slightly.
But he still said, "Alchemist Xiao, I really don’t have any valuable spiritual herbs on hand at the mont.
However, the price of 2,500 Lower Grade Spirit Stones far exceeds the selling price of a Foundation Establishnt Pill, you..."
"Then take your Spirit Stones elsewhere to buy." Chu Ning said indifferently.
The cultivator with the mole’s expression imdiately turned red and white in turns.
But Chu Ning didn’t care; after all, this "Alchemist Xiao" was a solitary character.
Though surprised by the Foundation Establishnt Pill’s popularity and high price,
he also realized that the Foundation Establishnt Pill was possibly scarce at Jiuhua Mountain.
"Could it be related to the incident with the Jiuhua Sect’s Alchemist?"
Chu Ning quickly speculated and concluded a rough idea.
The urgency of these people to acquire Foundation Establishnt Pills from him likely indicates they can’t get them within the Jiuhua Sect.
However, the presence of so many Foundation Establishnt Independent Cultivators suggests these pills used to be available.
Combining this with mories of Xiao Cheng’s about the successive incidents with Jiuhua Sect’s Alchemists and their special invitation for him to join,
Chu Ning had ford his own judgnt.
Under these circumstances, he naturally couldn’t just sell the Foundation Establishnt Pill.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t conform to this Alchemist Xiao’s usual conduct.
At least the previous three were willing to add spiritual herbs for purchasing, so Chu Ning agreed.
But now, this individual only offered Spirit Stones, so Chu Ning declined without hesitation.
The Foundation Establishnt Cultivator with the mole, holding his Spirit Stone Bag, had fluctuating expressions but ultimately said nothing, simply withdrawing his bag.
Then he turned and directly used Flying Escape to leave.
As he left, others gazed at Chu Ning with the sa eagerness.
Everyone present, of course, hoped to obtain a Foundation Establishnt Pill.
The Qi Refining Stage cultivators didn’t need to say anything, but even the Foundation Establishnt Cultivators had disciples and followers.
Only one Foundation Establishnt Cultivator looked on curiously, without any obvious intention of buying.
The rest looked eager to try.
But seeing that even 2,500 Spirit Stones didn’t work with Chu Ning,
the remaining cultivators looked at each other but no one spoke further.
Clearly, none of them were confident.
Finally, another sowhat eager Foundation Establishnt Cultivator stepped forward.
He offered 2,000 Spirit Stones plus a kind of spiritual herb for the pill.
But Chu Ning was not interested in that herb and directly refused.
This made the Foundation Establishnt Cultivator look regrettable.
But unlike the previous cultivator, he didn’t leave angrily, instead politely cupped his fist and said:
"Mr. Zhuang will seek your Foundation Establishnt Pill again once fortunate enough to acquire so spiritual herbs."
Later, a few Qi Refining Cultivators also stepped up to request.
But none among these Foundation Establishnt cultivators had anything particularly appealing to Chu Ning.
Without prior preparation, how could these Qi Refining cultivators offer anything valuable at once?
After several attempts, Chu Ning impatiently waved his hand, saying:
"If you want a Foundation Establishnt Pill, first weigh what you have, otherwise stop asking."
Instantly, no one on site inquired further.
The crowd resud purchasing other elixirs or traded items amongst themselves.
About a quarter of an hour later, a figure ca flying from the distance.
Landing in front of everyone, his stature was short, appearance unremarkable, with half-black and half-white hair, but his eyes were bright.
His aura was significantly stronger than anyone present, evidently being a Foundation Establishnt Late Stage Cultivator.
"Fellow Daoist Li!"
"Brother Li is here too!"
As soon as this Foundation Establishnt Late Stage Cultivator appeared, several Foundation Establishnt Cultivators greeted him.
Evidently, this person was quite renowned.
The elder with the surna Li only cupped his hands at the crowd, then imdiately looked at Chu Ning.
"I heard that Alchemist Xiao has refined a Foundation Establishnt Pill, so Mr. Li also wishes to purchase one."
As he spoke, he directly tossed several items towards Chu Ning.
A bag of Spirit Stones and two Jade Boxes, clearly containing spiritual herbs.
Chu Ning took them, finding twenty Middle Grade Spirit Stones and spiritual herbs for refining Foundation Establishnt Pills inside the Jade Boxes.
Chu Ning slightly nodded, taking a Small Jade Bottle containing a Foundation Establishnt Pill and tossed it back over.
The elder with the surna Li opened the Jade Bottle, glanced, and nodded smilingly, then with a look of surprise said:
"Alchemist Xiao, the quality of this pill is superb; even the ones Alchemist Qiu and Alchemist Ling crafted in Jiuhua Sect previously may not match this quality.
Perhaps only Elder Ling, crafting it personally, could produce such quality of Foundation Establishnt Pill."
Upon hearing these words, the crowd was filled with astonishnt once more.
While a few earlier could recognize the high quality of Chu Ning’s Foundation Establishnt Pill, they had probably not made such comparisons.
And this elder with the surna Li was known to be the leader of the Li Family, a Cultivation Clan at Jiuhua Mountain, also being a Foundation Establishnt Late Stage Cultivator.
His family had other Foundation Establishnt Cultivators before, likely acquiring their Foundation Establishnt Pills from the Jiuhua Sect.
His words were naturally believed by everyone.
Instantly, the crowd’s gaze on Chu Ning grew even more amazed.
"This Alchemist Xiao’s alchemy skill is astonishingly high!"
"Among Foundation Establishnt Cultivators, this Alchemist Xiao could truly be called the foremost Alchemist of Jiuhua Mountain!"
