789 Core Nourishing Pills
Since Leo's talent [Fundamental Merge] was upgraded to level 4, his chances of merging mid-level spirit stones and mid-level moon stones have been increased by a lot.
Hence, it didn't take much time for Leo to use 40 slots of the [Fundamental Merge].
Still, he was left with 10 slots and Leo thought about which ones he should merge.
'I already used all the valuable items I have with me and I could only merge the Barrier Breaking Pills.'
With that thought in mind, Leo was about to merge them; however, he suddenly remembered something.
'As a guest alchemist, I can sell the pills to the sect and convert them into contribution points or buy other things from the sect.'
When this thought struck his mind, Leo decided not to merge the rank 2 pills and walked out of the Guest Courtyard.
'Woo'
Behind him, the Lunar Moon Spirit Wolf followed excitedly as it looked around the buildings and other scenic places for the first time.
Following the instruction boards along the way, Leo reached the Treasure Hall of the Lunar Sect which was guarded by a level 8 Golden Core Realm Cultivator.
"You are the new Guest Alchemist, right? Welcome to the Treasure Hall."
Despite being a powerful Golden Core Realm Cultivator, his tone didn't sound arrogant, leaving a good impression of him on Leo.
"Yeah."
Leo politely nodded his head as he directly came to the point, "I have 1000 mid-level and 100 high-level Barrier Breaking Pills that I want to sell to the sect."
"With the addition of a new Guest Alchemist, the sect doesn't have to worry about the supply of the pills."
Even though the cultivator said that he didn't really mean it because, with the addition of a rank 2 Guest Alchemist like Leo, there won't be many chances for the sect.
The Sect is like a black hole that requires a lot of pills and even a rank 3 Guest Alchemist can't fill that black hole, not to mention a rank 2 Guest Alchemist like Leo.
"I will try my best to increase my rank in the future."
Leo replied with a slight smile as he asked for the price he would get for the pills he was going to sell.
"Since you refined these pills with your own rest of the ingredients, you will get 1 contribution point for every high-level Barrier Breaking Pill."
"As for the mid-level Barrier Breaking Pills, you can exchange 10 pills for one contribution point."
"In total, you will get 100 contribution points from mid-level Barrier Breaking Pills and another 100 contribution points from high-level Barrier Breaking Pills."
The cultivator was in charge of the Treasure Hall for a long time and didn't think much time before giving out a price for Leo.
"200 contribution points? Good."
Compared to the 100 contribution points monthly for refining the pills for the sects, Leo felt he was getting a good number of contribution points.
"Do you want me to add these contribution points to your Sect Token or do you want to exchange them for some treasures from the Treasure Hall?"
The cultivator asked Leo and made him come out of his thoughts.
"I want to redeem them for the treasures that are helpful for the Golden Core Realm cultivators."
Leo didn't have to think much as he directly informed the cultivator about his requirements in what he wanted.
"So you want the rank 3 treasures. Since you have more than 100 contribution points, you are qualified to look at the low-level rank 3 treasures."
The cultivator was not surprised by Leo's requirements as he asked, "Do you want weapons, pills or the resources that could help the Golden Core Realm cultivators in increasing their cultivation."
Even though Leo asked about the treasures that were helpful for the Golden Core Realm cultivators, many things were helpful. They are rank 3 weapons, rank 3 pills and natural resources that increase the cultivation speed and potential of the Golden Core Realm cultivators.
So, the cultivator asked which particular thing that Leo wanted.
"I will go with pills."
Like before, Leo didn't think much before answering the cultivator.
It was because only these pills were much easier to buy in bulk and merge them. As for the elixirs, there might not be 10 similar elixirs.
Moreover, even if there were 10 of them, Leo might not be able to buy them with his 300 contribution points.
He got 200 contribution points from selling the Barrier Breaking Pills whereas the other 100 contribution points, he got as his initial funding or salary for becoming a Guest Alchemist for the sect.
"There are only two types of pills in the low-level Rank 3 category. They are: 1) Golden Barrier Breaking Pills and 2) Core Nourishing Pills. Do you want to buy one pill each?"
Since Leo already has a Golden Core Pill, the cultivator believed that Leo was making preparations for his after breakthrough. Hence, he thought Leo would buy one pill each.
One pill could solidify and nourish the Golden Core in the cultivator's dantian and the other one could help the cultivator breakthrough to the next level.
"I want to know the prices for them before deciding what I should do."
Currently, Leo only has 300 contribution points and he knew these rank 3 pills would be costly. Moreover, depending on their quality, they would be more costly.
Hence, Leo decided to know the prices before buying them.
….
For the Core Nourishing Pills:
1) Low-level Pills: 1.
2) Mid-level Pills: 10.
3) High-level: 100.
….
For the Golden Barrier Breaking Pills:
1) Low-level Pills: 10.
2) Mid-level Pills: 100.
3) High-level: 1000.
…
When the cultivator heard Leo's words, he didn't speak; instead, he showed a beast skin with the pill names and prices for each quality on it.
For each quality, the price of the contribution points increased by 10 whereas the Golden Barrier Breaking Pills started from 10 contribution points and reached as high as 1000 contribution points.
'There is no way I can buy high-level pills for both pills.'
Leo directly eliminated the costliest pills that were out of reach for him as he thought for a moment before concluding.
'Since Gallant also needs to use these pills to nourish his core and break through to another realm, I have to buy the pills in a way that both of us could get these two pills.'
With that thought in mind, Leo asked the cultivator, "I want to buy 20 low-level Golden Barrier Breaking Pills and 10 mid-level Core Nourishing Pills."
"You want to buy so many pills?"
For a moment, the cultivator was surprised to see that Leo was spending all his valuable contribution points on these pills.
Nevertheless, he didn't bother to listen to Leo's explanation as he started working on packing the pills for Leo.
Even though these pills were very useful for the Golden Core Realm Cultivators…especially to those who achieved the breakthrough, consuming so many pills would be useful.
The more pills one consumes, the more useless the pills will become. Also, in his eyes, spending all the contribution points in buying the same type of pills would be quite useless.
Moreover, by consuming low-level pills in a repeated manner, the cultivator's body would accumulate a lot of pill poison which would make things very difficult in their future path of cultivation.
"Also, give me 10 low-level Core Nourishing Pills in exchange for these 10 high-level Barrier Breaking Pills."
While the cultivator was packing the pills for Leo, Leo took out 10 more pills and asked him to give 10 rank 3 pills in exchange for them.
Leo still has more than 1,500 high-level Barrier Breaking Pills with him; however, he could not take them out.
If he did, the sect would find out that his success rate of refining the rank 2 pills was high and would keep an eye on him which Lo didn't want to happen.
So, he only used the amount that wouldn't raise any suspicions about him to exchange the pills for the rank 3 pills.
In no time, Leo used another 4 slots of his [Fundament Merge]; however, before he checked the information on these pills, Leo decided to use the remaining six slots of his [Funadamental Merge].

"Sure."
On the other hand, the cultivator looked at the 10 pills in the pill bottle and nodded his head.
'Even though the cost of the contribution points of the pills remains the same when I buy the low-level pills and merge them into mid-level pills, I will still get benefits with the improvised effect in the merged pill along with a special effect.'
Since he could buy high-level Core Nourishing Pills with the 100 contribution points he spent to buy 10 mid-level Core Nourishing Pills, Leo still preferred the merged pill over the normal pill.
It was because the effects of the merged pill were much greater than a normal pill.
It didn't take much time for Leo to complete the deal with the Treasure Hall before he returned to the Guest Courtyard to resume his merging session.
Of course, he followed the standard procedure of every merging session and only merged when the success rate was 100 percent for each merge.
[Fundamental Merge]
….
10 low-level Core Nourishing Pills → 1 mid-level Core Nourishing Pill.
10 mid-level Core Nourishing Pills → 1 high-level Core Nourishing Pill.
20 low-level Golden Barrier Breaking Pills → 2 mid-level Golden Barrier Breaking Pills.
….
In no time, Leo used another 4 slots of his [Fundament Merge]; however, before he checked the information on these pills, Leo decided to use the remaining six slots of his [Funadamental Merge].
60 high-level Barrier Breaking Pills → 6 Top-level Barrier Breaking Pills.
…
Once he completed all 50 slots for the day, Leo heaved a sigh of relief before starting to check the information on the new pills he merged a few moments back.
