"There is another method to earn money. I can refine pills, and that can make a good amount of money for us," Xiangyue said. She was an alchemist, and it was the fastest way to earn money. It could be said that alchemy was the wealthiest profession.
"Hmm, so how do you plan to sell the pills? Are you going to sell them to the Alchemist Guild or directly to the public?"
"Both options have their own pros and cons. Selling the pills to the Alchemist Guild in bulk would be easy, and they can also provide a huge amount of refining materials. But the price would be a little lower than selling directly to the public. On the other hand, selling pills directly to the public could earn us a few extra bucks, but it will make things more complicated," Xiangyue pondered for a second and said.
The Alchemist Guild was an organization built by alchemists to support alchemists. This was a place where all alchemists could gather and discuss alchemy with each other and learn. The Alchemist Guild handled most of the resources related to alchemy in this world. Their branches were spread all over the entire Eastern Continent.
Most alchemists liked to work with the Alchemist Guild, as it was more convenient. The guild could provide everything they needed to refine pills. Furthermore, the Alchemist Guild did not have rules or restrictions over its alchemist members. You were free to join or leave the guild without any problems.
Lastly, the Alchemist Guild also provided an alchemist badge to its members, which made it easier to identify the alchemist and his or her level. Another benefit of being a member of the Alchemist Guild was that you would be protected by the guild.
Just like the Alchemist Guild, there were a few other professional guilds, like the Weapon Guild, the Array Guild, etc. All of them were made by high-ranked masters in their respective professions.
"Well, I will think about it more later. For now, I will sell the pills to the Alchemist Guild; it's less complicated and less time-consuming," Xiangyue said. Bingyao nodded her head.
If they wanted to sell pills directly, they needed to open a shop, and that would become more complicated—opening a shop, managing it, and many other things.
"Xiaoli, you were saying that you wanted to go out. Where do you want to go?" Bingyao looked at Xiaoli and asked curiously.
"Big Sister, there's a place about a hundred miles from here where some strange phenomena are happening. I suspect a treasure is about to be born there. I want to take a look," Shen Xiaoli said softly.
"Strange phenomena? What kind?" Bingyao and Xiangyue both couldn't help but show a little interest.
It was known that whenever a rare treasure appeared or was born, most of the time it caused some strange phenomena to appear in that area before or during its birth. So whenever such strange phenomena appeared in the world, it was seen as a sign of a treasure's birth.
"Mmm! I haven't checked it personally; I've only heard the rumors. It's said that the temperature suddenly started dropping at a very fast rate. In just one month, a few miles of green land were covered by snow. But the temperature drop still hasn't stopped; it keeps decreasing in that area. According to the rumors, even a Spirit Master can't handle the cold qi of that place for a long time, much less ordinary people," Shen Xiaoli explained.
"Unm! Temperature dropping! Increasing the cold qi. Only a sixth or higher ranked Yin-type treasure could cause this effect. But how could such a high-ranked treasure be born in such a barren region?" Xiangyue pondered for a second and said. Bingyao was also lost in thought.
"I also thought about this. It could be caused by some other reason. I just want to take a look to satisfy my curiosity. Furthermore, I have a Yin Physique, so the cold qi won't affect me much. And if it's really risky, I will not move further," Shen Xiaoli said. She had a Yin Physique, so Yin-type treasures were very beneficial to her, which is why she wanted to go and take a look herself.
"Hmm!" Xiangyue and Bingyao both nodded as they understood her thoughts.
"How about I go with you? It will be safer," Bingyao looked at Shen Xiaoli and said.
But Shen Xiaoli shook her head and gently said, "No, Big Sister, I want to go alone. Don't worry, I will wear a disguise this time. Furthermore, with my cultivation level, there are not many things in this region that could endanger me."
The highest cultivation in this region was only the Spirit Grandmaster realm, while Shen Xiaoli was a Spirit Lord stage cultivator. And even if she encountered a Spirit Lord stage cultivator, she still had the means to escape. If she wanted to escape, even a Spirit King wouldn't be able to stop her.
"Okay! Just be careful. Don't do anything dangerous," Bingyao said warmly. "Hm, I will be careful, Big Sister," Shen Xiaoli nodded.
"Send us a signal immediately if you encounter any problems," Xiangyue also said.
After that, they talked about some other things while the group ate breakfast.
"Tian'er, what about you? What do you want to do? Do you want to go outside and take a look?" Xiangyue suddenly spoke.
"Yeah, Tian'er! If you want, then Aunt can show you around. The city is lively; you'll like it," Bingyao also said.
"Well, I was thinking of restoring my strength to some extent before going out. At least not before reaching the Spirit Gathering stage," Shi Tian replied after some consideration.
"Well, if that's what you like," Xiangyue said, not pressuring him.
"System, Sign-in!"
