She remembered that silver taels could be exchanged for spiritual stones, and she had one hundred thousand taels in her hand.
"Go to the money exchange place nearby and exchange it for one thousand taels of spiritual stone." The gentleman continued.
Mu Qianyu was stupid again. He only gave one spiritual stone for one thousand taels, so didn't one hundred thousand taels only cost one hundred yuan? He could only buy one pound of iron?
With all her wealth now, she can only buy two kilograms of cold iron?
"Well, how much does a pound of black iron cost?" she asked tentatively.
"Eight hundred spiritual stones."
Mu Qianyu almost suffocated and asked again: "Where is the tungsten steel?"
"Two thousand spiritual stones."
"...Mithril?"
"Twenty thousand yuan."
Mu Qianyu bit her lip almost to pieces: "Twenty thousand spiritual stones are only one pound?"
The gentleman finally raised his head and looked at Mu Qianyu as if he were a fool, "It's one or two."
"..." Mu Qianyu mustered up his courage: "Can I ask the price of fine gold?"
"One hundred thousand or one tael." After the gentleman answered, he said impatiently: "What are you buying?"
"...I'm just asking," Mu Qianyu said with a guilty conscience.
Until she exited, it seemed as if the look in her eyes was still the same as before, almost eating her alive.
"Pfft." Luo Meng laughed out loud. This was the first time he saw Mu Qianyu looking so embarrassed, and he couldn't help it.
Mu Qianyu said angrily: "I said you have no good intentions. Why didn't you remind me just now that these things are so expensive?"
"I asked you, you said you have money."
"I..." Mu Qianyu was speechless, but she thought she was rich.
But now it seems that those taels of money from the secular world are really nothing when they come to the world of cultivation. What is needed here are spiritual stones and points.
Calculated this way, even if she sold herself by the gram, she wouldn't be able to buy the raw materials for this knife.
"By the way, I can sell Spirit Gathering Pills. I counted them last time and there are a hundred in total." Mu Qianyu became more energetic and asked, "How much does one cost?"
Luo Meng was confused: "You don't have to?"
"Stop talking nonsense, how much does it cost?"
"Our college distributes low-grade spirit-gathering pills, and the rewards are ten spirit stones or ten points." Luo Meng said.
Mu Qianyu was speechless again. Even after she sold them all, she only had one thousand spirit stones, which was not enough for anything.
Luo Meng saw that she was worried and said: "The best way is to do the task. With your strength, you can do the task with about 500 points."
"It's only five hundred for a mission." Mu Qianyu shook her head repeatedly. It was not enough for her to vomit blood even if she continued like this.
However, her mind was still flexible, and she quickly asked: "You just said that the academy distributes low-grade spirit-gathering pills, so what are the prices of mid-grade, high-grade, and top-grade pills?"
"Fifteen spirit stones are worth the medium grade, thirty pieces are the top grade, and eighty are the top grade." Luo Meng replied.
Mu Qianyu clapped her hands and she finally had a way to get money.
"Little Lingling, did you hear that? I need you to refine some top-quality spirit-gathering pills." Mu Qianyu used his consciousness to communicate with the weapon spirit.
"I heard Master, no problem." Qi Ling replied.
Mu Qianyu clapped his hands: "Then I will go to the medicinal materials hall now. Tell me what medicinal materials you want to use."
One Spirit Gathering Pill only costs ten spirit stones, so the medicinal materials must not be very expensive.
"The Spirit-Juling Pill is very simple. It only requires four medicinal materials, Juling Grass, Holy Orchid Grass, Biluohua, and Lingquan Fruit." Qi Ling said immediately.
Mu Qianyu said: "You can make up for it."
Qi Ling was silent. He didn't know the price of these things at all, and he didn't expect his master to be in such a difficult situation.
Of course, his silence was not out of guilt, but because he felt that Mu Qianyu was poor, but he was too embarrassed to say it.
"Lead the way to the medicinal materials hall." Mu Qianyu's expression obviously softened.
"Can you make elixirs?" Luo Meng was surprised.
"Of course." Mu Qianyu said confidently.
"But how old are you? Do you know the medicinal materials clearly?" Luo Meng was doubtful about this.
It's not that he looks down on people, it's that alchemy is a very complex art. Just the medicine and its properties are enough for someone to learn it for several years. The youngest alchemist before their academy is twenty-five years old. How old is Mu Qianyu?
If he remembers correctly when he first entered the hospital and filled out his information, he seemed to be seventeen years old.
Mu Qianyu looked at him angrily.
He knew Mu Qianyu's temper, so he had to lead the way silently.
When he arrived at the medicine hall, Mu Qianyu took out his thirty spirit-gathering pills and exchanged them for a large bag of medicinal materials. According to Qi Ling, he could refine a hundred top-grade spirit-gathering pills.
Mu Qianyu thinks that these are enough. If there are too many elixirs and some people are suspicious, it will mainly affect the market price of the elixirs.
After all, the more stuff you have, the less valuable it is.
"By the way, Master, I can't control fire. I need to find a place with natural fire to make elixirs." The weapon spirit raised a new question.
Mu Qianyu thought for a while, and she seemed to remember that Zhao Dacheng and others had said before that the academy had a natural furnace. In fact, it was a volcano that had been dug out. There were many caves inside, and the magma inside could be used to make elixirs.
The disciples in the academy are of low strength and not all have fire spiritual roots, so they naturally have to rely on the power of nature to practice their qi.
But she remembered that places like that cost money.
For a money-hungry person like her, spending even a little bit of money is enough to make her feel painful.
"How much does it cost for a day in a karst cave?" Mu Qianyu grabbed Luo Meng, who thought he was about to retreat after his success.
"What kind of fire?" Luo Meng thought for a while: "The most common magma is enough to refine the spirit-gathering pill, which requires twenty spirit stones a day."
Mu Qianyu frowned tightly when he heard this.
This place is a total money grab!
Her little purse seems to be less firm.
But if you want to make money, there is no other way, you have to invest, right?
"Lead the way." She sighed.
"Are you going today?" Luo Meng looked her over: "Have you brought the alchemy furnace?"
"Do you think I have a valuable magic weapon like an alchemy furnace?"
"That's right, renting the alchemy furnace costs twenty spirit stones per day." Luo Meng knew that Mu Qianyu wanted to ask for the price, so he told him directly.
Mu Qianyu was already numb and nodded: "Lead the way."
So the two of them went down the mountain and walked south for more than half an hour, passing through many barren mountains, but Luo Meng's child continued to move forward.
There are no buildings on these barren hills, and the woods are not very lush. They look very desolate. You can even hear the sounds of animals chirping when walking among them.
"Say, Xiao Luo, aren't you being bribed by someone to kill me here?" Mu Qianyu couldn't help but said.
"Although this place is desolate, it is also a college, and no one will do anything to it." It was rare for Luo Meng not to confront her.
He felt that Mu Qianyu might be really scared.
Mu Qianyu shook his head, thinking that this kid was still serious.
"The location of the volcano is naturally beyond human control, so it is naturally farther away." Luo Meng explained.
"Understandable."
The trees become sparser as you go south, presumably because of the extremely high temperature, and some mountains have been baked bare.
