Below is information that is found in Volume 1 or was used to inform prices there in. There are a few spoilery things.
Before the tables, I want to quickly repost something from my Chapter 45 Author's Note to make it a little more visible since I've learned that it is possible to disable the notes. Chapters 1-15 underwent major revision on Mar 24. The changes shouldn't have much effect going forward, they were mainly to clean up the first arc, but here are the key takeaways:
The appearance and attitude displayed by the incarnation of the Earthly Dao has been changed significantly. He now presents as an imperious lord commanding Su Fang to behave properly, and it is clear he is gaining knowledge from each reset. I really hopes this fixes the main issues with this chapter. At this point in the story, along with the information in this conversation, you may begin to be able to see why I think it's important this character was established.
Knowledge of credits received upon death has been moved to chapter 1 and is told to him by the System itself. The rule is that it will simply be based on his cultivation level.
Based on the feedback I got, alchemy is unchanged, but I did change the names of Low- Mid- and High-Quality Qi Gathering Pills to Basic, Improved, and Superior.
It will no longer be referred to Martial Disciple
Level
1, I’ve removed the word ‘Level’. I’ve been doing this with Martial Master for a while, so the change shouldn’t be noticeable.
The death notification has had a slight formatting change to reduce the vertical space it took up.
A change that has no practical effect now but clears up problems people had with the early story: He is warned that ‘Quick, repeated, intentional deaths may result in administrative action.’ This ‘administrative action’ is what provokes the interaction in Chapter 11, and he is told that any future abuse of this nature will result in the loss of his blessing.
Since a it has been brought up a lot in comments, I slipped in Mei explaining the Heaven/Earth/Profound/Yellow ranking system at the end of chapter 13.

Knowledge
Cost
General Knowledge priced based on the effect it will have on the world.
Note: Asking seemingly unrelated questions that tell you something important will cost the same or more than simply asking for that important information directly. Both ways of asking questions result in the same effect on the world, so the price is the same.
