Sage of Humanity Chapter 1635 - 1633: Exorbitant Profits

A Pill Master capable of producing a vial of top-grade elixir pills undoubtedly has profound alchemical skills.

Carefully setting down the vial of top-grade Treasure Body Pills, they picked up the second vial for inspection.

Similarly, opening the bottle, Cao Xiang sniffed the pill fragrance and imdiately deduced, this was yet another vial of Treasure Body Pills. However, these seed a bit different from the previous ones...

Upon a closer examination, he was slightly moved.

Could these be supre-grade Treasure Body Pills?

Pouring out a pill from the jade vial for a closer look, Cao Xiang quickly confird, it indeed was a vial of supre-grade Treasure Body Pills!

Such remarkable goods are rare; even the most skilled Pill Masters find it challenging to craft supre-grade elixir pills. Many factors can impact the quality during the production process, such as the quality of raw materials, control over the heat, the material of the Pill Furnace, and even the mood of the Alchemist.

Hence, even veteran Pill Masters find it hard to produce supre-grade elixir pills. Achieving it depends on both skill and luck.

Cao Xiang realized he might have underestimated the Pill Master's skills in front of him. Combined with Lu Ye's disguise as a Moon Jade, he showed him even more respect.

After setting down the second vial of Treasure Body Pills, Cao Xiang picked up the third vial.

This ti, by assessing the fragrance, it was clear that this was not a Treasure Body Pill, but an elixir for the psyche, unmistakably a psyche refinent pill!

Cao Xiang's spirits were instantly lifted.

Though Treasure Body Pills are good, their value cannot rival psyche refinent pills, since the latter's primary ingredient is the psyche refinent herb.

Even if this psyche refinent pill was only mid-grade, its value far exceeded that of the supre-grade Treasure Body Pill.

Moreover, from the fragrance, Cao Xiang judged that the psyche refinent pill was more than just mid-grade; it was actually a top-grade psyche refinent pill!

The difficulty of crafting psyche refinent pills is much greater than Treasure Body Pills. Producing a vial of top-grade psyche refinent pills indicates that the Pill Master's Alchemy Dao skills are at least at a master level.

Nonetheless, having seen much of the world, often dealing and trading with various guests, Cao Xiang's vision is not typical. So, upon realizing the quality of the psyche refinent pill, he remained calm outwardly.

Gently putting it down, he picked up the last vial.

As usual, he sniffed the pill fragrance. In the next instant, Cao Xiang's eyes widened, unable to contain himself, he exclaid, "This is..."

No longer waiting for Lu Ye's instructions, in his shock, he hurriedly poured out a psyche refinent pill from the jade vial, examining it closely and growing even more surprised with each look.

Seeing one was not enough, he examined a second, until he had checked all the psyche refinent pills. Only then did Cao Xiang manage to suppress his unusual expression, though his internal astonishnt was beyond words.

Because the entire vial contained supre-grade psyche refinent pills! Each was uniform in size and color.

Though he had traded with many Alchemists and bought supre-grade elixir pills from others, the opportunity to buy a whole vial was rare, usually dealing only with one or two pills, at most three or four.

But a full vial of supre-grade psyche refinent pills was a first in history!

It was not that he was simply being dramatic; he truly had never encountered such a situation before.

Taking a gentle breath to calm himself, after thoughtful deliberation, Cao Xiang finally spoke, "Are these elixir pills up for sale?"

Lu Ye, composed and sipping tea, posed as an Alchemy Master with a leisurely deanor, coolly replied, "If not for sale, did I bring them here to amuse you?"

Cao Xiang felt embarrassed, "You jest, sir. If they're for sale, then I'll set a price. Of course, if you're satisfied, we conclude the trade; if not, we can negotiate further. At the All Phenona rchants Guild, we pride ourselves on integrity and fairness, where we cheat neither old nor young."

Lu Ye remained noncommittal.

Cao Xiang then quoted a price for the vial of top-grade Treasure Body Pills. Lu Ye showed no reaction.

Cao Xiang wasn't sure if the price pleased the guest, though it was indeed fair.

Then he priced the supre-grade Treasure Body Pills, and Lu Ye noticed that despite both being Treasure Body Pills, the price of the supre-grade was over three tis higher than the top-grade.

However, since Treasure Body Pills aren't particularly rare at the All Phenona Ocean, and their ingredients are easy to acquire—without necessarily needing spirit fish—prices, while decent, remain reasonable.

Lu Ye, having access to spirit fish, could save significantly if utilizing their flesh for Treasure Body Pills.

Calculating, even using one White Spirit to extract essence for Treasure Body Pills could potentially increase value tenfold or more.

Not bad. In the future, just by selling Treasure Body Pills, Three Worlds Island could sustain cultivation needs for hundreds of cultivators.

However, Treasure Body Pills are rely an addition. Lu Ye was more interested in the price of the psyche refinent pills.

When it was ti to price the psyche refinent pills, Cao Xiang showed evident caution, setting a price for the top-grade psyche refinent pills.

Lu Ye instantly showed interest, since this price was five tis that of the supre-grade Treasure Body Pills!

However, upon closer thought, it's actually not surprising. This is because the materials used are different. To make a vial of psyche refinent pill, one needs a psyche refinent herb as the main ingredient, but for a Treasure Body Pill, not even an entire spirit fish is required.

"And this one?" Lu Ye asked coolly, pointing to the supre-grade psyche refinent pill.

The value of a top-grade psyche refinent pill is already substantial, so a supre-grade one would surely be worth more.

Cao Xiang didn't quote a price directly, instead saying, "If the esteed guest trusts , I have a proposal. Perhaps you'd like to hear it."

"Speak!"

Cao Xiang said, "In five days, our rchants Guild will hold an auction. If the esteed guest wishes to maximize the value of this pill, I suggest putting it up for auction. I believe many will be interested in this pill, and the price will surely please you!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye suddenly recalled that the last ti he attended an All Phenona rchants Guild auction, there was indeed a supre-grade elixir pill put up for sale, which was fiercely contested.

On that day, the elixir pill was only for recovery, and its use and value couldn't compare to the psyche refinent pill, so this psyche refinent pill certainly qualifies for auction and can definitely fetch a high price.

Especially for those in the Moon Jade stage, their demand for such items is most urgent. Because to advance to the Sun Blaze stage, they need to consider the sublimation of Essence Qi and, specifically, the psyche or ntal Consciousness.

Their worth naturally cannot be compared to those in the Constellation stage, so auctioning the psyche refinent pill will surely fetch a good price.

Cao Xiang's proposal indeed considered Lu Ye's best interest, and it could also add flair to the auction.

However, Lu Ye had no ti to wait for an auction, and he also worried that showcasing these elixir pills might attract unwanted attention. Despite the good reputation of All Phenona rchants Guild, so precautions were necessary, or else he wouldn't have disguised himself as soone from the Moon Jade stage.

With a straightforward deanor, he said, "Na a price. If it's suitable, I'll sell it to your guild. As for the auction, forget about it."

Cao Xiang regretted it inwardly, but on second thought, purchasing this supre-grade elixir pill would still allow it to be placed in the auction, bringing greater profits to the guild.

So, after a brief consideration, he quoted a price.

This price was ten tis more than the previous top-grade psyche refinent pill!

Lu Ye quickly calculated in his mind.

Before leaving, he specifically asked Hua Ci and Shui Yuan about the materials and quantities needed for these elixir pills, so he could easily assess the profit margin.

The profit from the supre-grade Treasure Body Pill was about five tis, which was already imnse, but the psyche refinent pill's profit was even more impressive. The top-grade psyche refinent pill alone offered a tenfold return, while the supre-grade psyche refinent pill yielded a hundredfold!

The price of a psyche refinent herb, as Lih Shang previously ntioned to Lu Ye, was about five thousand spirit jade per herb. Including other materials, the cost of this psyche refinent pill wouldn't exceed ten thousand spirit jade, yet it could sell for at least a million spirit jade!

A million spirit jade wasn't much from Lu Ye's perspective, but for an average cultivator, it's a significant amount. It's noteworthy that even Tang Jun didn't possess such wealth in his ti.

It was definitely a promising route to wealth.

And that was just the price of a single supre-grade psyche refinent pill…

However, for a cultivator in the Moon Jade Late Stage, obtaining twenty to thirty such elixir pills to aid in their breakthrough to the Sun Blaze stage would only cost two to three million spirit jade.

Who wouldn't be willing to spend two to three million spirit jade for a chance at breaking through to the Sun Blaze stage?

A mont later, with Cao Xiang warmly seeing him off, Lu Ye left the All Phenona rchants Guild.

Treating custors like Lu Ye, Cao Xiang was naturally very attentive. He had even wanted to exchange audio talisman markings with Lu Ye so he could find him when he had sothing good next ti, but Lu Ye didn't agree, much to Cao Xiang's regret.

Nevertheless, sealing this deal left Cao Xiang quite satisfied because he could gain so benefits from it as well.

Lu Ye returned to the Three Worlds Island, found Hua Ci and Shui Yuan, who had been waiting, and inford them of the profits, also handing over the spirit jade to them.

Shui Yuan said, "From the looks of it, establishing ourselves here isn't too difficult. However, this business isn't sustainable for the long term!"

Of course, all this was based on the pill gourd; otherwise, relying solely on her and Hua Ci's alchemy skills might result in losses, not to ntion such huge profits.

But this was only temporary. When they improved their cultivation and honed their skills, earning a living on the All Phenona Ocean by their craft wouldn't be a problem.

Just like Hua Qianying, whose Alchemy Dao skills are so profound, that even relying on the All Phenona rchants Guild wouldn't be an issue.

Lu Ye nodded in agreent. "Indeed."

Occasionally selling a few pills like before wasn't a big issue, but long-term large-scale sales would inevitably lead to suspicion.

Hua Ci suggested, "Perhaps we could do this: there are quite a few top forces on the All Phenona Ocean. There's no need to sell everything to the All Phenona rchants Guild; we can diversify across different guilds. That way, selling a few pills to the All Phenona rchants Guild every three to five months shouldn't be a problem."

This was indeed a viable approach.

After a brief contemplation, Lu Ye said, "For now, let's only sell the Treasure Body Pills. See if you can develop other elixir pills. As for the psyche refinent pill, let's not sell it anymore; we'll need it ourselves in the future."
