Chapter 5081 Sage King Pills

“Heavens, primal chaos amethysts!”

Feng You and Hu Xiaoyu cried out in shock at the same time. The trade currency here was actually primal chaos amethysts. It had to be noted that Feng You and Hu Xiaoyu only had some high-grade primal chaos stones, not even top-grade ones.

They had only ever heard of primal chaos amethysts, never seen them. But here, they were used as currency. That was absolutely crazy. A single primal chaos amethyst could be traded for ten million top-grade primal chaos spirit stones—ten million! That was a crazy number.

In addition to primal chaos amethysts, there was another convenient currency: Sage King Pills. They were essential for cultivators after reaching the Eternal realm. Moreover, it wasn’t just Sage Kings who consumed Sage King Pills. These pills were used throughout all six realms of Eternity. Even Heaven Saints needed to consume them to condense heaven veins faster.

Thus, Sage King Pills were the world’s strongest currency, valued at one thousand top-grade primal chaos spirit stones each. After all, primal chaos amethysts were simply too rare, and their trading rate constantly fluctuated. Therefore, many people preferred using Sage King Pills instead.

Within the Sovereign Emperor Heaven, ninety-nine percent of all Sage King Pills came from the Brahma Pill Valley. They were almost impossible to find elsewhere, as other alchemists could not refine top-grade Sage King Pills.

The Sage King Pills used as currency here were all top grade because Pill Valley was worried about counterfeits. After all, lower grade Sage King Pills could be refined by other factions.

“You want ten thousand top-grade primal chaos spirit stones for one Sage King Pill? Fuck, why not just rob people?” cursed Long Chen, astonished at the trading rate.

A Sage King Pill had dozens of pill formulas. Even if the alchemists used the best medicinal ingredients, the cost of one set was only thirty top-grade primal chaos spirit stones.

An average alchemist might succeed one in three times, making their manufacturing cost less than a hundred spirit stones. By normal medicinal pill standards, the valuation of such a pill should be around two hundred spirit stones. Yet they asked for ten thousand and called it a strong currency.

“Senior, should we refine some Sage King Pills?” asked Long Chen. “Then I won’t need to waste my efforts trading with them.”

“It’s useless. Their pills all have specific markers. If we’re noticed, it’ll be troublesome,” responded the Earth Cauldron.

Long Chen sighed. If he couldn’t refine them, he could only think of something else. Originally, Long Chen had plenty of spirit stones on hand, but since he didn’t usually use them, he had left them with Guo Ran. After all, forging armor and weapons was expensive, and Guo Ran couldn’t be lacking money.

Long Chen asked Bai Yingxue, but the white dragon race simply had no concept of spirit stones. Moreover, Feng You and Hu Xiaoyu were so poor that it wasn’t even worth asking.

Long Chen knew that this was only one of the Brahma Pill Valley’s tricks. Accepting only primal chaos amethysts and Sage King Pills here was just a pretext. After all, how many people actually possessed primal chaos amethysts?

Even if someone really had the primal chaos amethysts and used them to buy things, how would they get change? It’d be like using gold ingots to buy a bun from a vendor. They were clearly forcing people to use medicinal pills to make purchases.

However, Long Chen also couldn’t be lacking in currency. He looked at the exchange rates and suddenly, his eyes brightened. It was possible to trade medicinal ingredients for the pills.

“Beautiful maiden, wow, your skin is so smooth!” Long Chen went up to a conversion desk, shamelessly flattering the woman in charge. Although her looks could be considered not bad, she wasn’t quite a beauty. But her skin was definitely smooth and clear, which was one aspect she had confidence in.

When the lady heard the compliment, her polite smile instantly grew more sincere. Seeing that Long Chen was actually from the dragon race, she became extremely courteous. She replied, “Thank you for your praise. May I ask how I can help you?”

“I’m rather poor and don’t have that many spirit stones. I only have some medicinal ingredients. Can I exchange them for medicinal pills?” asked Long Chen.

Long Chen’s act directly drew out her compassion. Seeing how humble he was acting, she kindly answered, “You can trade medicinal ingredients for medicinal pills, but it depends on the rarity and quality of the ingredients. Ingredients that are too poor in quality cannot be traded. May I know what medicinal ingredients you have? I can help you see if they can be traded.”

Long Chen leaned in and whispered into her ear, “The thing is, I have too many, and I’m not too sure of their value. Can I take a look at the exchange ratios first? I’ll see whether my poor pockets have anything of value. If not, I’ll just leave. I don’t want to embarrass myself by taking out a mass of worthless medicinal ingredients. You know, to tell the truth, my face really is thin.”

Finding Long Chen interesting, the woman handed him a jade tablet, saying that he could see the exchange rates himself.

When Long Chen’s divine sense entered the tablet, he immediately saw countless medicinal ingredients listed along with the pills they could be traded for. Only a few dozen medicinal ingredients could be exchanged for Sage King Pills. Some could only be traded for a few pills, while one was worth more than three thousand Sage King Pills.

Looking at the values, Long Chen jumped in shock. However, upon closer inspection, he realized that only exceedingly rare medicinal ingredients could be traded for significant amounts of Sage King Pills. These rare ingredients were nearly impossible to find.

To put it frankly, the Brahma Pill Valley was not lacking in common ingredients. The things they lacked were scarce everywhere. Hence, this so-called exchange was mostly impossible. Long Chen wondered if the high values were because the Brahma Pill Valley didn’t have any of them. 𝘧𝑟ℯℯ𝓌ℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝓂

“I have Jade Bone Violet Heart Bamboo and Heaven Earth Blood Spirit Mushroom. Great Sun Sunflower? Damn, it’s calculated based on grains? A grain of Great Sun Sunflower can be traded for three Sage King Pills? Is it really so rare…?” wondered Long Chen.

Long Chen saw that four valuable medicinal ingredients he possessed were listed, with the most valuable being the Heaven Earth Blood Spirit Mushroom. Of course, if he were to exchange a complete Great Sun Sunflower, it would yield the highest value. After considering this, Long Chen consulted the Earth Cauldron for advice. The Earth Cauldron suggested using the Jade Bone Violet Heart Bamboo.

The other medicinal ingredients were simply too precious. Giving them to the Brahma Pill Valley was like fattening his enemy’s purse—it wasn’t worth it. In contrast, the Jade Bone Violet Heart Bamboo, while only worth just over five hundred Sage King Pills, was more abundant in the world. Long Chen had a forest of this bamboo, and one scoop would yield seven or eight clumps.

Furthermore, the value of a clump of Jade Bone Violet Heart Bamboo was much higher than a single stalk. Following the Earth Cauldron’s advice, Long Chen produced one clump containing eight stalks. The woman at the desk jumped in shock when she saw it.

She hastily invited Long Chen into a private room. In some regards, the Pill Valley was not bad. The woman assessed the value based on the entire clump rather than individual stalks, resulting in a much better trade rate for Long Chen.

The initial price was just over four thousand Sage King Pills, but it now climbed to five thousand. As she held the five thousand Sage King Pills in her hand, her hand trembled slightly. Even she rarely handled such a large sum of money.

After Long Chen completed the exchange, his demeanor changed noticeably. He started to swagger with renewed confidence. Turning to Bai Yingxue, Feng You, and Hu Xiaoyu, he declared, “Let’s go. Big brother will let you go wild a bit.”
