Chapter 171 Hu Tianyou comes to visit
night.
Xu Changshou sat cross-legged in the yard and did not enter the state of cultivation.
He had just established his foundation and had many miscellaneous matters to deal with. Currently, he had no intention of practicing.
"Is Junior Brother Xu here? I am Hu Tianyou, here to visit you."
Hu Tianyou's voice suddenly came from outside the yard.
"Hu Tianyou, why is he here?"
Xu Changshou's heart skipped a beat. He had thought about it so much, but he didn't expect Hu Tianyou to come.
What was he here for? Did the fact that I asked him to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill be exposed? That's not right. When I asked Hu Tianyou to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, I had no contact with Hu Tianyou from beginning to end. How did he know that he was my employer?
Hu Tianyou must have heard something, otherwise he wouldn't have come to my door.
Why did he come to see me? Is he trying to blackmail me for my foundation-building pill?
Thinking of this, Xu Changshou couldn't help but become alert.
"Is Junior Brother Xu here?" Hu Tianyou's voice was heard again outside.
"Yes, I'm here! Brother Hu, please come in."
The courtyard gate opened and Xu Changshou stood up to greet them.
At the same time, Xu Changshou focused his attention on the thunderstorm talisman.
If Hu Tianyou attacks him, Xu Changshou will never let him do it.
Hu Tianyou smiled broadly and said, "Congratulations, congratulations to Junior Brother Xu on achieving enlightenment. Junior Brother Xu, do you still remember me?"
"Of course I remember. You are Senior Brother Hu, Hu Jiuniang's brother. We met at the Zhu family."
"It's good to know each other, it's good to know each other, Junior Brother Xu, can I come in and talk?"
Hu Tianyou looked enthusiastic.
It doesn't look like he's here to cause trouble.
Xu Changshou didn't dare to let his guard down and extended his hand, saying, "Brother Hu, please."
After entering the house, the two sat down as host and guest.
Xu Changshou bowed slightly and said, "Brother Hu, what advice do you have for me?"
Hu Tianyou smiled: "Junior Brother Xu, you just successfully established your foundation. I wanted to ask, have you bought the second-grade Qi Condensation Pill?"
The second-grade Qi Gathering Pill can increase the speed of cultivation and is suitable for foundation-building cultivators.
Xu Changshou certainly knew about this kind of elixir. He had just broken through to a new realm, and his cultivation had not yet gotten on track, so he was not in a hurry to buy the Qi Gathering Pill.
"No!" Xu Changshou laughed, "I just broke through, and I have a lot of things to do, so I haven't bought any yet."
"That's fine, that's fine!"
Hu Tianyou smiled even brighter and said, "I have some Qi Gathering Pills here, which I made myself. If you need them, I can give you a discount."
Xu Changshou breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had thought too much. Hu Tianyou didn't know that it was him who asked him to refine the foundation-building pill. He came to him to sell the pill.
Xu Changshou misunderstood, so he was frightened and thought that his alchemy secret was exposed.
It is easy to explain why Hu Tianyou asked me to sell him the elixir.
He was also a newly promoted foundation-building cultivator, but he had established his foundation three years earlier than himself. As a newly promoted foundation-building cultivator, he certainly did not have much money on hand and wanted to make some extra money.
Glancing at Hu Tianyou, Xu Changshou asked, "Brother Hu, what elixirs do you have?"
Hu Tianyou introduced enthusiastically: "I have Qi Gathering Pills, Qi Replenishing Pills, Golden Wound Pills, Soul Nourishing Pills, Tai Chi Pills..."
"Do you have a second-grade Spirit Gathering Pill?"
After he finished his introduction, Xu Changshou asked this question.
Hu Tianyou was slightly startled and said, "Junior Brother Xu, you are joking. The second-grade Soul Gathering Pill is a high-end product. The sect controls it very strictly and it is impossible to get it."
The Spirit Gathering Pill is an upgraded version of the Qi Gathering Pill. The effect of using the Spirit Gathering Pill is ten times that of the Qi Gathering Pill.
Foundation-building cultivators can practice with Qi Gathering Pills or Spirit Gathering Pills. Which pill to use depends mainly on how fat one's pockets are.
One Qi Gathering Pill costs ten spirit stones, and a foundation-building cultivator can consume one per day.
One Spirit Gathering Pill costs one hundred spirit stones, and one can be consumed per day, but its effect is ten times that of a Qi Gathering Pill.
In other words, practicing with the Spirit Gathering Pill is ten times faster than using the Qi Gathering Pill.
Of course, one Spirit Gathering Pill a day, thirty pills a month, would cost three thousand spirit stones, which is not something that everyone can afford.
At this time, Xu Changshou had three thousand spirit stones in his hand. With his wealth, he could only eat enough spirit-gathering pills for one month.
Not to mention the Spirit Gathering Pill, even if you use the Qi Gathering Pill to practice, you will need three hundred spirit stones a month. The monthly salary of an ordinary foundation-building cultivator is only three to five hundred spirit stones.
In other words, the salary of a foundation-building cultivator can barely sustain the use of Qi Gathering Pills, and this is on the basis of no other expenses.
You know, the other expenses of a foundation-building cultivator are also not small. Even if you save as much as possible, you still have to equip yourself with flying swords and defensive magic tools.
In addition to some daily expenses and social relationships, if you add it up, ordinary foundation-building cultivators don’t even have the conditions to use Qi Gathering Pills for cultivation.
Take Hu Tianyou for example. Although he has been building his foundation for more than three years, he still owes thousands of dollars in loans. He has his own Qi Gathering Pill, but he is reluctant to use it, let alone others.
Xu Changshou smiled and said, "Brother Hu, please don't blame me. I'm just asking casually. Even if you have the Soul Gathering Pill, we can't afford that kind of high-end stuff."
Hu Tianyou waved his hand and said, "As long as you don't need the Soul Gathering Pill, I have all kinds of pills. I guarantee you'll be satisfied. Junior Brother Xu, look, what kind of pill do you need?"
Without waiting for Xu Changshou to speak, Hu Tianyou enthusiastically promoted him, "Junior Brother Xu, I suggest you buy some Qi Gathering Pills. Using Qi Gathering Pills to cultivate can greatly increase your cultivation speed. If you persist in taking Qi Gathering Pills, you will reach the middle stage of Foundation Establishment in no time."
As he spoke, Hu Tianyou took out a bottle of elixir and handed it to Xu Changshou: "Look, Junior Brother Xu, this elixir is guaranteed to be of good quality and low price."
Xu Changshou took a look and couldn't help but frown secretly. He had seen the sect's second-grade Qi Gathering Pill. Although Hu Tianyou's pill was good, it was slightly inferior to the pills sold by the sect.
Under normal circumstances, ordinary people would choose to buy elixirs from the sect, and would never choose to buy elixirs from Hu Tianyou.
However, foundation-building cultivators value face the most. Hu Tianyou's pills have been delivered to his doorstep. If he doesn't take them, he would be slapping Hu Tianyou in the face.
It will be difficult to talk when we meet again.
Of course, this kind of sales promotion can only be done once. This time Xu Changshou asked for his elixir. If he refuses again next time, Hu Tianyou will have nothing to say.
Hu Tianyou saw this point clearly, so he came to promote it.
This sales method is a bit embarrassing. If Hu Tianyou wasn't really short of money, he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
"Give me some." Xu Changshou said.
"okay!"
Hu Tianyou waved his hand and took out many bottles of Qi Gathering Pills.
Xu Changshou quickly shook his head, took only one bottle, and said, "Brother Hu, I've just established my foundation, and I'm short of money. The spirit stones I have are only enough to buy this one bottle."
"All right!"
Hu Tianyou was somewhat disappointed and forced a smile, saying, "Qi Gathering Pills cost ten spirit stones per bottle, and there are ten pills in a bottle, which is exactly one hundred spirit stones. Junior Brother Xu, you bought too little, so I can't give you a discount."
