The so-called independent private room was just a cubicle less than four square meters. It was only the size of a latrine, but the cost of 15 minutes was 600 taels of silver. It was really worth every second.

Of course, this independent private room was mainly expensive because of the soundproof array foundation.

After entering the room, Han Zhao tried to extend his mental power out of his body. Just as his mental power touched the wooden wall of the cubicle, he felt a resistance.

“Other than soundproofing, an array foundation that can even isolate mental power perception is really magical.”

Han Zhao thought to himself. If he forcefully broke through, he could break through the barrier of the array foundation, but it would definitely attract attention.

This array foundation could probably block the detection of Martial Saints below the Three Fiend Realm. Even if their mental power was stronger, they could not eavesdrop without anyone knowing. Therefore, this price was not expensive.

“From the looks of it, array masters are also a profession that is very good at making money. Moreover, offensive and defensive array foundations are very suitable for independent cultivators like me.”

Han Zhao was a little tempted. If he could draw the [Specified Range Trait] and the array support Trait, he could use his free time to learn the Dao of array formations.

Or when he mastered the First Level of the Three Spirit Divine

Transformation Technique and let his clone learn array formations, it would not affect his cultivation progress.

“Sir?” The tauren-masked man saw Han Zhao staring at the wall in a daze and finally couldn’t help but speak first.

He had originally planned to raise the price on the spot and ask for more high-grade Blood Qi Pills. Therefore, as soon as he entered, he turned his back to Han Zhao and wanted him to speak first.

However, he did not expect Han Zhao to be an experienced person. He was not in a hurry at all and even pretended to be curious as he stared at the wall. “Huh?” Han Zhao came back to his senses and looked at the tauren-masked man.

Judging from his gaze under the mask, he seemed to be in a hurry.

“This is the pill formula. Take a look first.” The tauren-masked man took out a folded hide from his pocket and placed it in front of Han Zhao.

Han Zhao looked over.

The content recorded on the beast skin was the pill formula for the Golden Body Pill. The various medicinal herbs needed to refine the pill were described in detail. It even involved the corresponding medicinal effect of the specific year.

However, the most important pill refinement process could not be seen. It was folded by the tauren-masked man.

It was fine for pills of the same type and level, but the pill refinement methods were similar. However, the pill refinement methods of different types, especially high-grade pills, might have obvious differences or even be completely different. This was also why every low-grade, middle-grade, and high-grade alchemist’s evaluation standard was to master a few pills of the same level, not all of them.

The quality, quantity, order, heat control, and timing of the pill condensation would all affect the success rate. Only Han Zhao dared to practice the refinement of various middle-grade pills in large quantities because he had the Trait enhancement of the [Reincarnation of Alchemy Saint].

His alchemy aptitude was already average, and with the enhancement of more than 20 times his alchemy aptitude, even if he was not a peerless genius in alchemy, he was not far off.

Even if it was a brand-new middle-grade medicinal pill, he naturally had an 80% success rate.

“What do you mean?! Are you playing with me?”

Han Zhao’s expression suddenly darkened as he said angrily.

The tauren-masked man was shocked by Han Zhao’s sudden change in expression. He hurriedly said, “Ah? What? This pill formula is absolutely true!

It can’t be fake!”

“As an alchemist, I can naturally tell if the pill formula is real or fake. However, the main ingredient for refining this Golden Body Pill is actually the demon core of a Rank 3 demon beast. Are you sure you didn’t make fun of me?” Han Zhao’s eyes were gloomy and his face was as calm as water.

“This… If you want the body tempering pill formula, I’m only in charge of providing the pill formula. Although this Rank 3 demon beast is powerful, there’s no need to fight for the demon core, right? You can buy it from the auction house and the large trading company. It’s completely…”

Towards the end, the tauren-masked man felt embarrassed.

Rank 3 demon beasts were divided into seven stages. Among the Fiend Condensation Realm cultivators corresponding to martial artists, the weakest was a powerful existence comparable to a One Fiend Realm Martial Saint.

Moreover, the Rank 3 demon beasts in the Jambu Sea were basically all in the sea. Martial Saints did not have the advantage against demon beasts of the same level. Unless one condensed a Lesser Divine Power, the Third Fiend Realm Martial Saint, their strength would undergo a qualitative change and they would have the ability to kill a first-stage Rank 3 demon beast without being injured.

Demon beasts of this level were either part of a large demon beast race and could easily attract more than ten people if they killed one. Or they lived alone, but their innate bloodline was extremely powerful and they had the strength to fight above their level.

In the Northern Region, every Three Fiend Realm Martial Saint was a famous figure and could not be easily moved. As for purchasing demon cores, if the pill refinement failed, the early costs would be too high.

Although the tauren-masked man was not an alchemist, he knew that although this Golden Body Pill was good, it was not practical.

“Ten high-grade Blood Qi Pills.” Han Zhao gritted his teeth and looked determined.

The market price of ten high-grade Blood Qi Pills was only 100,000 taels of silver. It was impossible to buy a high-grade pill formula. However, in reality, one had to use Golden Beads to buy it. It depended on whether others were willing to sell it.

“No, this is too little! At least 15 pills!” The tauren-masked man said excitedly. Even if the pill formula of a high-grade medicinal pill was not used for refining, just its pill refinement method alone had a certain reference value to alchemists. The other party’s price was too low.

“Forget it then. I’m still prepared to keep some high-grade Blood Qi Pills to exchange for the Soul Nurturing Wood with you. Since you’re insincere, I’ll take my leave.” Han Zhao cupped his hands and turned to leave.

He did not have many high-grade Blood Qi Pills left either. There were only more than 50 of them, and there were only five top-grade ones. They had all been refined recently and had used up all his remaining spiritual herbs. It was not that he could not bear to part with these pills, but the main point was the Soul Nurturing Wood at the back..
