The waste she became the first array mage

After checking all three, Hu Qianyan was about to give him the spirit stone when he heard the boy ask, "Do you have any books on how to care for spirit plants? I have a yard now and I want to study and grow some things."

After thinking for a while, she said, "If there is something for alchemy, I would also like to see it." What she wanted to buy most were martial arts and sword techniques, but they were too expensive, and she had to prioritize things.

Li Yirou had to go out first, and she wanted to go to the Central Plains city to see if it was cheaper or more advanced there, but the pill formula should be the same.

"Yes, yes!" Hu Qianyan smiled happily, thinking that this was a great way to make money. "It is said that this booklet belongs to a master of alchemy..."

"Just give me something practical." Li Yirou didn't want to listen to her nonsense, so she raised her eyebrows and stared at her. Hu Qianyan seemed to be seen through and said awkwardly, "Then this one will do."

After that, he handed her a book and five sheets of paper. "Don't underestimate it because it's just a paper book. In fact, there are many alchemy methods extracted from jade slips in the back." Hu Qianyan smoothed her hair. "As for the alchemy furnace, just buy one if you are just starting to learn."

After that, he took out a small copper furnace from his storage bag. "This was originally a mid-grade magic weapon, and it was used for both alchemy and refining. Unfortunately, the furnace exploded, and after being repaired, it became a low-grade one. I'll give you 30 spirit stones."

"This book and a few pieces of paper are more expensive. It is said that the paper contains the spirit-stimulating part of the high-level technique Changsheng Jue. It is very useful for spiritual plants and even for the recovery of cultivators. However, each piece of paper costs 35 spirit stones, so the total is 170. No bargaining."

"The front of this book contains the basics, I'll give it to you as a gift. The back contains many recipes for elixirs, all extracted from jade slips, and also contains extremely precious and difficult-to-refine poison elixirs! This thick book will cost you 300 spirit stones!"

Hu Qianyan exaggerated a lot, but in fact, it is more difficult to refine the poison pill, and people are more concerned about tonic pills, so the poison pill recipe is difficult to sell.

"Give me a page to look at." The price was too high, and Li Yirou felt a little distressed. Who said knowledge is priceless! With such a casual question, 500 was gone.

"Here." Hu Qianyan handed her one carefully, "I don't allow anyone else to look at it."

[According to "The Secret of Immortality"...] The focus of the latter part is on how to give birth to spiritual plants. As to whether it is some high-level technique, Li Yirou is not sure, but it looks very advanced.

"Poison pills are something that ordinary cultivators can't make. I..." Li Yirou said deliberately. Hu Qianyan got anxious when she heard it. "Brother, you're obviously smart and quick-witted! Besides, many of the recipes in the front of this book are very practical recipes for fasting pills and nourishing spirit pills, and the recipes for several kinds of poison pills are in the back."

"It would be a pity if you didn't learn how to make pills. If you just make a quick pill or something, you can save some spirit stones, right?"

"Then let me read a few pages first?" She wanted to see how many poison pills there were, but Hu Qianyan refused with a smile, "Young man, the rules of the market are that books cannot be read by others."

Li Yirou's icy face showed a rare look of embarrassment. "Then I'll just take these planting sheets. This way I can save on the alchemy furnace and the alchemy recipe booklet. After deducting the few cubs just now, I only need to pay you another 65..."

After hearing her calculation, Hu Qianyan became anxious, "Brother! You should learn how to make pills. You don't know that if you learn, you can make a lot of money from one furnace of pills. Many people will cry and beg you to help them make pills. It's really a matter of face and substance!"

"How about this, since it's rare for me to meet you, I'll sell this booklet at a discount price and give it to someone who's destined to meet me! I'll give you 280..."

She said a number, and seeing the young man frowning, he was about to hand her the spirit stones he had just calculated, so she quickly changed her words, "I don't even want 280, 260..."

“No!” She paid close attention to Li Yirou’s expression, and the number changed with her frown. “Only 210!”

This was Hu Qianyan's limit. Li Yirou observed her expression and relaxed her brows at the right time.

"At this price, even if you buy four pill recipes, it will be almost the same! Today, I, Hu Qianyan, will just treat it as making a friend, not for making money, but just to give a friend some benefits!"

...It's a waste of talent for Hu Qianyan not to be a live streamer. Li Yirou recalled the scene in her previous life and couldn't help but reveal a barely perceptible smile, but she quickly retracted it, "Just tell me how many kinds of pill recipes are recorded in it. If I don't buy this number, I'll return it to you."

"More than 10 kinds! I can swear!" Hu Qianyan had long forgotten how many there were. Anyway, it was a thick stack of poison pills. No one wanted this thing, and it was not expensive when she collected it.

It's not all about scamming you, there are still a few ordinary pill recipes in front, and if you take them out individually, they will cost less than 200 spirit stones.

She was just annoyed by the sight of these things that could not be sold. She had originally thought that if she could capture someone who could refine poison pills, she could make a fortune, but in the end, no one was interested. After holding on to them for several years, she felt that she had lost a lot of money, so she might as well sell them for spirit stones.

Li Yirou nodded. She didn’t care about any ordinary pill recipes at all. There were more than ten recipes for poison pills, which were more suitable for her.

"If I can't make it, can you at least accept this book?" Li Yirou was like a cultivator who was being deceived and felt that he might become the next master of alchemy, but also had some concerns.

"We buy books, one page costs 1-2 spirit stones, and the recipes cost 10-50 spirit stones per page." But she bought the poison pill formula in this book at the lowest price of 1 spirit stone per page.

Hu Qianyan continued to push, "Brother, the book may be useful someday. Apart from those who have mastered it, few people sell it. It is very precious."

Li Yirou nodded. She also wanted to buy something called a soul-sealing box.

Generally, monks will carry a storage bag with them, but if they put spiritual plants in the storage bag, the spiritual energy will gradually dissipate.

Therefore, one needs to buy a low-grade magical instrument called a spirit-sealing box to preserve the freshness of spiritual plants, especially high-grade spiritual plants, which dissipate more spiritual energy and will greatly affect the price.

It is also better to put the medicine bottles inside, so everyone will prepare a box.

"How much is your soul-sealing box?" Li Yiru had seen it at another stall. A low-grade soul-sealing box, marked as 40% new, cost spirit stones.

Hu Qianyan sold the Poison Pill Books that she had in stock, and was very happy. "As for the Soul Sealing Box, I got a 38% new one a while ago. I'll give you Spirit Stones~"

After deducting the 105 low-grade spirit stones from selling the little leopard, Li Yirou still needs to pay 343 to Hu Qianyan.

"Brother, don't worry about me doing this!" Hu Qianyan put away the spirit stone she handed over. "I know you came here without telling your teammates. I will put these three together in another team and make sure your teammates won't know about it."

Li Yirou didn't care about it. It didn't matter to her how she remembered it. She wasn't afraid of her teammates knowing. But she still nodded and said, "Goodbye."

After the payment and goods were settled, she was left with only 5 mid-grade coins and 8 spirit stones. She didn't dare to shop anymore and fled out of the market.

It is true that practicing cultivation costs money like water. She only sold a few pieces of paper and was not willing to buy jade slips. No wonder the cultivators were scrambling to join the sect. Although they had to do some chores, they could save a lot of money on reading books.
