Chapter 227: A Deal
227 A Deal
Alex nodded. Then the only problem was Su Hua. If he purchased a large number of Medicinal Ingredients and sold a large number of pills. Su Hua obviously will see something wrong. Even if he put his mask, Su Hua might make a move personally, and that will be troublesome.
If Song Yu can be his agent, there will not be any problems. After all, she was a Core Disciple. Even if he suspected something from her, he could not do anything to her. Even if he knew that the pills were coming from him. Alex was still in the sect, and Su Hua will not be able to take him away. Alex also can forge a relationship with Song Yu. Of course, as trading partners, not man and woman relationship.
Although it did not have any use since the Blackwade clan was a clan from Northern Continent. It might become helpful if he came to the next continent.
Now that he decided to make a deal with Song Yu. All that left was the price. He was considering the price. She said that she would only take ten percent for the commission.
"Senior Sister, how much is the price for Soul Refining Pill? The perfect purity one."
"Soul Refining Pill? You are a Rank 3 Alchemist?" Song Yu was surprised. To see a young Rank 3 Alchemist in this continent. It was really surprising. Alex only smiled at her.
"Ahem, a Soul Refining Pill is three thousand Spirit Stones."
"Then how about Tempered Muscle Pill?"
"Tempered Muscle Pill? This pill has a big demand. Not only from a body cultivator, but normal cultivators also need this pill too. Well, to increase fifty bull strength with a single pill and a hundred with two pills as the limit. It gives the cultivator a considerable boost in their strength. The price is four thousand Spirit Stones. Even though it is only a low 3rd rank pill. The price is the same as mid 3rd Rank pill." Song Yu said.
Alex contemplated, he asked another pill. He was planning to make these pills in huge numbers, as Sherry\'s food. But he might need to ask Sherry which one was more effective. Flamming Sun Pill or rank 3 Array. "How about Flamming Sun Pill?"
"Flamming Sun Pill... This is the rank 3 version of Flamming Spirit Pill. It is a mid 3rd rank pill, but the price is lower than Tempered Muscle Pill. It is three thousand Spirit Stones for one Flamming Spirit Stones" Song Yu said.
Alex pondered for a moment, and then he finally asked for the last pill. "Then how about Rank 3 Energy Pill?"
"Hmm, this pill is unique. The same as Rank 2 Energy Pill that can increase one\'s cultivation by one star depending on the core used as the ingredients. It is the most popular pill. The price is ranging from the lowest three thousand Spirit Stones to a few ten thousand Spirit Stones if you auction it somewhere. Of course, to reach such price, you need 10-Star Grandmaster Stage monster core."
Alex asked this as a consideration for the future. He can not make this pill at the moment, especially for the peak Energy Pill. After all, to make the energy pill, he needs a fresh Monster Core. That means the monster will inside the core was still at the strongest. He needs to take on that monster head on. With his meager cultivation, he can not do that for the time being. So he decided to make Tempered Muscle Pill.
"How much for a set of Tempered Muscle Pill\'s ingredients?" Alex asked.
"Hmm, if I\'m not wrong. It is two hundred Spirit Stones" Maybe because of habits from the clan. Song Yu had researched all the prices of those pills.
Four thousand Spirit Stones for a perfect purity Tempered Muscle Pill. It might be lower if the pill did not have perfect purity. With Song Yu\'s original commission, which was twenty percent and the cost in case of failure along with the practice cost. It might be hard for an Alchemist to get a thousand Spirit Stones from a pill. Of course, Alex was an exception.
The only cost he had to pay was Song Yu\'s commission, which she lowered from twenty percent to ten percent and the cost of the ingredients. With his one hundred percent chance to produce a perfect purity Tempered Muscle Pill. That means, he can get three thousand four hundred Spirit Stones.
Well, he might need to consider the Spirit Stones he used in gathering array to recover his strength. After all, making a rank 3 pill need a massive amount of Spiritual Energy. But this cost might not be the problem, and he can ignore it as it might not reach a hundred spirit stones for each pill.
Obviously, Song Yu might regret reducing the commission from twenty percent to ten percent in the future. It made her lost millions. After all, Alex was one of the people that broke the system.
"Then, I will sell the Tempered Muscle Pill for the time being." Alex said.
"Then, I will buy the ingredients. You can make the pill and sell it to me." Actually, Song Yu did not care about this. She just wanted to help Alex as his Senior Sister. Of course, in the future, Alex was a money making machine. She thought that Alex might only make a few tens pills later since he also needs to cultivate.
"All right. I will leave it to Senior Sister."
Song Yu nodded, "How many ingredients do you need?"
Alex pondered a bit and raised three fingers. Song Yu nodded, "All right. I will cover the cost first since it is only six thousand Spirit Stones."
Alex coughed a bit. He gave a wry smile. "I mean three hundred sets of ingredients."
Song Yu was dumbfounded. She looked at him weirdly, she had some cultivation resources from her family before she came to this continent. On this continent, she also had made some money. But, using sixty thousand at once, she needs to rethink a bit.
Alex gave her a space ring. He transferred thirty thousand Spirit Stones from his main Space ring into it. "Here is seventy thousand Spirit Stones."
Because she was pondering, she received Alex\'s space ring with dumb looking face. She looked at the space ring with an empty gaze. Not long after, she finally realized what happened. She realized that Alex just gave her seventy thousand Spirit Stones in one go, and he even did it without batting an eye.
Her main thought was from where Alex had such resources. No, how rich was Alex all this time. Although she can fork out that money, she needs to think about it first as it might affect her plan in the future. She had researched Alex\'s background, but she did not find anything about him.
Even though she did not have her clan backing in this continent. A merchant\'s weapon was information. If a merchant did not want to lose money, they need to research their opponent first before confronting them. Alex\'s identity remained a mystery. She tried recalling his identity when she was back in the Northern Continent. She never heard about Sirius Family too.
Unfortunately, Alex did not have any family in this word. Even his master was not in this world. All those Spirit Stones was his hard earned money from his pills and Spirit Stones Mine. He was thankful to the Spirit Stone box that he got from the system. Even though it contained only five hundred Spirit Stones, it was helpful for him at that moment.
"Junior Brother, I am wondering if you are a wealthy Young Master." Song Yu said while grinning.
Alex only shrugged his shoulder. "I also need ingredients for Flamming Sun Pill. Senior Sister can take the rest if you want."
"Sure. Leave it to me. I will save the rest of the Spirit Stones for the next use."
Alex nodded. Well, there was another reason why Alex chose Tempered Muscle Pill instead of Hard Bone Pill, which was a mid 3rd rank pill. Both of them should be useful for the body. But there was a distinctive difference between them. Alex can only make one pill per set of ingredients for Hard Bone Pill. But Alex can make three pills from one set of Tempered Muscle Pill\'s ingredients. (Ch. 199).
With three hundred sets of ingredients, he can make nine hundred Tempered Muscle pill. If he sold all of them, it could amass three million and six hundred thousand Spirit Stones with the price of four thousand Spirit Stones per pill. He just needs to pay Song Yu\'s commission, which was ten percent, that means three hundred sixty thousand Spirit Stones. And three hundred set ingredients, which only a total of sixty thousand Spirit Stones. With those, he can get almost three million and two hundred Spirit Stones.
He should be fine for a few months. With his Pure Fire, to advance in Martial Master, he needs around fifty thousand Spirit Stones while Sherry needs twice the number he needed. But, now that he was about to advance to Martial Grandmaster along with Sherry. He can not guarantee how much he needed to advance a star. After all, it was not an increase of small realm but leaping a whole big realm. He should prepare as much as he can and save a few for his personal need.
Even so, making those nine hundred pills need a lot of time, from a few weeks to a month. Alex might be too busy for that.
"Is there anything you need again?" Song Yu asked.
Alex pondered a bit then shook his head. He got all he needs for the time being.
"Then, let\'s go back."
"Sure" Alex nodded. Both of them then flew toward the house. Song Yu said she would deliver the ingredients tomorrow. Alex then went back to the house, satisfied. But on the way, he suddenly recalled that he got Core Disciple identity. If he got a mansion exclusive to himself, then should he move from here or not. Unfortunately, judging from the situation, the sect master will not give him a mansion. The reason was obvious.
"Young Master." Anna greeted him as usual.
Alex nodded. Alex smiled a bit and said, "You must be lonely. You can only stay in this house this whole time."
"No! As long as I stay in this house. I don\'t mind about that. Waiting here and make the house stay safe and clean is my job as your wif...I mean as your Spirit." She said cheekily.
"Oi" Alex rolled his eyes. He shook his head while smiling. He suddenly pulled her to his embrace and hugged her. "Anyway, this peaceful situation is nice. Considering Leoz\'s report, this peaceful peace might not last very long."
She was surprised that suddenly her Young Master pulled her to his embrace. But she still hugged him back tightly as she closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling.
"I do not mind if I never have a date with Young Master in a town. It might cause trouble for you. I prefer having a date in a forest or maybe a sea where we can be together without any interference. Looking at the scenery in your embrace, I only wish something like that." Anna said slowly while imagining the scene in her mouth.
"Sure." Alex stroked her black hair. Anna always accompanied him in this world. She stayed behind him and supported him from the back. He thought about it, it was really nice to have Anna around. Granting her wish, might not be too bad in his opinion. Surely, Alicia and Firia will not mind.
"All right. I will try to breakthrough after this." Alex said.
"That\'s right. Young Master, you should check your mission first" Anna said. As a spirit from the system, she also received some notification concerning the system.
Alex remembered the mission that he got inside the cave. The mission was for him to be a champion in the Outer Disciple Ranking Tournament. He opened the system in the mission.
[Mission: Rank First in Outer Disciple Competition
Reward: Undying Fire Body Manual]
He immediately claimed the reward. It was a body cultivation manual. Alex was curious about the effect, so he immediately took out the book.
Looking at the black book, he eagerly opened it up. The first sentence made him dumbfounded.
\'Turning the body to fire. Pure Fire can never be extinguished, thus creating Undying Fire Body.\'
