Pei Ling habitually checked it with [You Yan Po Wan Jian] and confirmed that there was no problem before browsing the records in it.

After watching it for a while, he roughly understood the situation.

When the drug store was still in the hands of Zhou Miaoli, the Zhou family would provide a large amount of medicinal materials and elixirs every month. Coupled with Xiangxia's well-run business, the drug store could earn dozens of high-grade spiritual stones every month.

.

But after it came into his hands, the Zhou family cut off the supply, and their income plummeted.

Last month's income was only a little over one hundred middle-grade spiritual stones.

This still relies on some inventory.

The records that followed went from bad to worse.

In addition, there are many huge expenditures on the ledger, which were used to acquire rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures, as well as some more sought-after cultivation resources...

After checking the accounts, Pei Ling said: "Take me to see the warehouse."

"Yes!" Xiangxia nodded quickly.

The warehouse of the medicine shop is located underground, surrounded by formations and runes as protection.

The warehouse is divided into two rooms, one is used to store various goods; the other is used to stack spiritual stones.

Xiangxia first opened the Lingshi warehouse and led Pei Ling inside.

In this warehouse, the spiritual stones are piled up like mountains, and there is almost no place to step down. It looks very spectacular.

But if you look closely, you will find that most of them are low-grade spiritual stones.

Next are the middle-grade spiritual stones, and there are only a few high-grade spiritual stones.

Pei Ling was not surprised by this. Wanhui Haifang City was a gathering place for casual cultivators, and most of the casual cultivators were wandering around in low-level cultivation. Low-grade spiritual stones were the mainstream currency.

His mind scanned the spiritual stones in the entire warehouse, and after confirming that the number matched the ledger, he nodded slightly.

"Master, please check." Xiangxia folded her hands on her lower abdomen and said softly. In the past, the Zhou family would send someone to collect the spiritual stones every month.

After Pei Ling became the head of the family, this was the second time he appeared.

As a shark who signed the contract, she did not dare to step into the territory of the Chongming Sect without the owner's permission. Naturally, she could not take the initiative to deliver the spirit stone to Pei Ling.

Now Pei Ling came and took them away just in time, which saved her from worrying every day that there was something wrong with these spiritual stones that she couldn't explain.

However, Pei Ling shook his head slightly when he heard this.

There are so many low-grade spiritual stones that really take up too much space in the storage bag. He has no shortage of spiritual stones on hand, so there is no need to bring them with him.

What's more, "Zhou Ji Pharmacy" will need this spiritual stone next.

"It's not urgent." Pei Ling said, "Go and check the inventory."

The warehouse where the inventory is stored is right next door.

Its area is larger than the Lingshi warehouse.

It is roughly divided into three parts: elixirs, medicinal materials, and other cultivation resources.

In order to ensure the freshness of these materials and that the effects would not be lost quickly, a variety of formations have been deployed here, which is particularly sophisticated.

However, there are only a few vials in the elixir area right now, and most of the place is empty.

The medicinal materials and other cultivation resources are better, but there are still some stocks.

But obviously, if it continues, it won’t last long and it will be discontinued.

Pei Ling once again used his spiritual thoughts to check them one by one and check them with the ledger.

After spending some time, he nodded.

There are no problems with the accounts.

With the methods used by the Holy Sect against foreigners, this shark was able to manage the medicine shop for the Zhou family for such a long time without incident. Moreover, he was driven and restricted by the contract. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for him to do such things.

But he still had to check the account in person before he could rest assured.

Next, Pei Ling took out a jade slip, which contained the list of most of the refining materials for the Queshi Mingdan, Wuxintongqiao Pill, and the Quiet Mingsuppressing Pill. Of course, there were also quite a few other materials that he deliberately mixed in.

Medicinal materials to confuse the ears and eyes.

He handed the jade slips to Xiangxia and said: "From now on, we will purchase these medicinal materials in large quantities."

In fact, the ingredients for these three kinds of elixirs must be available in "Xiao Zizaitian".

But Pei Ling only had three chances to enter the "Little Self-Heaven", and each time he could not stay for too long.

After all, alchemy was only used to assist cultivation. He could not waste such an excellent life-saving means at a critical moment just for the sake of alchemy.

Xiangxia took the jade slip respectfully, looked at it for a moment, and then said: "Master, some of the medicinal materials here are available in the warehouse."

"Not enough." When Pei Ling counted the inventory just now, he actually saw several familiar medicinal materials. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "I need more."

"You can go to other drug stores in Fangshi to buy it."

"In short, there is no need to be stingy about the price."

Xiangxia bent her knees and said, "Yes."

After a while, Pei Ling returned to the training room after finishing the trivial matters.

He has no way to solve the problem of the elixir being out of stock for the time being.

Before, he had a large amount of refined redundant elixirs on his body.

But when he left the Liuli Dynasty, he left all the unused elixirs to the Dynasty.

Although there are a lot of pills in my hand now, they are all for my own use, but I can't just take them out and let the drugstore sell them.

"I have to wait for Zhou Miaoli to come over." Pei Ling thought to herself, "As long as she helps me watch over it, I can safely use the system to practice and refine alchemy."

While thinking about it, he sat down cross-legged and began to practice [The Dark Flame Burning the World's Secret Dharma] on his own.

In the blink of an eye, a few days flew by.

During this period, Xiangxia's investigation of the owner behind "Happy Pavilion" did not make much progress.

But Pei Ling did receive some of the medicinal materials he needed.

Worried about missing Pei Ling's case, Xiangxia spent a lot of spiritual stones to purchase this batch of medicinal materials. When she reported it, she was quite uneasy.

Fortunately, Pei Ling didn't seem to care about the cost. After carefully checking these medicinal materials and a few heavenly materials and earthly treasures, he used [You Yan Po Wang Jian] to confirm that there was no problem and the quality was good, and he even gave a few casual compliments.

But after Xiangxia left, he frowned slightly.

Most of these medicinal materials are put in to confuse the eyes, but there are not many of them that are really wanted.

In particular, as the main material of Tiancai Dibao, only one plant has been received so far, and the appearance is obviously different whether it was prepared by Senior Sister Bi Li or bought from Tu He.

"The resources in the hands of casual cultivators are too scarce..." Pei Ling secretly thought, this situation was even poorer than he imagined.

He shook his head and put away the medicinal materials. Pei Ling was about to continue practicing. At this moment, Xiangxia turned back and reported: "Master, someone is looking for you."

Pei Ling's heart moved and he said, "How many people are here? What are their names?"

Xiangxia said: "There is only one person, a female cultivator."

"She refused to say her name. She only said that after seeing this, the master would know who she is."

As he spoke, he took out a medicine bottle.

Pei Ling immediately recognized that this was the jade bottle that he had asked Mo Zhenyi to give to Zhou Miaoli.

He took it in his hand and opened it. It was indeed the Enlightenment Pill.
Chapter completed!
