Chapter 5 Alchemist(2/2)

The fourth furnace produced four pills, and the next three furnaces produced five pills.

One spiritual recovery pill requires three spiritual stones. In theory, up to ten pills can be made into them. One spiritual recovery pill costs one spiritual stone.

Seven portions of raw materials make a total of twenty-one elixirs, which is just enough to save the cost of the raw materials.

If we include the loss of spiritual charcoal, we are actually losing money.

But once you have mastered your skills, a little loss is nothing.

At this time, Liu Yuanchen had not a single spiritual stone left in his hand.

He left Yujin Mountain again and went to Qinghe Town to sell elixirs, buy some elixirs to refine into elixirs, and continue to make elixirs to earn spiritual stones.

When I arrived in Qinghe Town, I came to a pill shop.

The plaque above the door reads "Dongyang Liu's Medicinal Shop" in large characters.

Entering the store, a monk in his forties asked: "What does this fellow Taoist from Qingdan Sect want to buy?"

Liu Yuanchen smiled and said: "Uncle Six, you don't even recognize me?"

This person's name is Liu Qingfeng, he is a descendant of the Liu family and the cousin of the head of the Liu family.

The monk took a closer look and said, "You are Yuan Chen. We haven't seen each other for seven or eight years.

If you hadn't looked similar to your third brother, I wouldn't have recognized you.

What do you want to buy when you come here this time? I’ll give you a 10% discount.”

Liu Yuanchen took out a cloth bag from the storage bag. After opening it, twenty-one milky white pills were revealed, which were the Spiritual Recovery Pills.

"Uncle Six, I came here this time to sell pills."

Liu Qingfeng picked up a pill, looked at it carefully for a while, and then smelled it.

"Yuan Chen, where did you get these pills?"

Liu Yuanchen smiled: "My nephew made it himself."

There was a trace of surprise on Liu Qingfeng's face: "The quality of this elixir is really good, it is very close to a good product. Is this really the one you refined?"

The quality of elixirs is divided into four levels: defective, ordinary, good, and top quality.

Substandard elixirs can exert 70% to 80% of their efficacy, but contain a large amount of erysipelas. Taking too much can cause meridians to be blocked or even poisoned, so they generally cannot be sold.

Fanpin is the most common elixir on the market. It has less erysipelas and no obvious side effects. At most, there are more obstacles when breaking through the realm. Generally, it is bought and sold at a reasonable price.

Good-quality elixirs are relatively rare on the market, their erysipelas is negligible, there are no side effects when taken regularly, and the price is 10% higher than the average price.

The best elixirs are almost perfect, with no erysipelas at all. Their efficacy is about 30% higher than ordinary and high-quality elixirs, and the price is also 30 to 50% higher than the average ones.

If it is a top-quality elixir that assists in breaking through, such as the barrier-breaking elixir, the price will double or triple and people will rush to get it.

The so-called erysipelas mainly comes from impurities in the essence of elixirs.

It is also possible that insufficient fire control leads to unknown changes in the properties of the medicine, resulting in erysipelas.

Liu Yuanchen nodded: "It was indeed refined by me. You also know that I am a plant fairy.

The refined elixir essence has fewer impurities and is easy to produce high-quality elixirs."

"What's the rate of pill formation?"

"After practicing for several months, the success rate has reached 40%."

Liu Qingfeng's face was full of smiles: "Yes, with this skill, you can earn a lot of spiritual stones, and it is not impossible to break through the Qi Sea realm in the future.

If someone else comes to sell elixirs, I will lower the price by 10% or 20%.

Since you are here to sell the elixir, I will buy it at the market price."

After that, he collected the elixirs and gave Liu Yuanchen twenty-one spiritual stones.

The elixirs that are close to the best ones have much less erysipelas than the ordinary ones.

No matter which store I sell it to, there is no reason to lower the price.

With his status as a disciple of the Qing Dan Sect, ordinary small medicine shops would not dare to lower their prices.

Liu Qingfeng said this out of pure shamelessness.

But Liu Yuanchen still put away the spirit stone, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Uncle Six."

Liu Qingfeng waved his hand: "Over the years, the family's resources have been concentrated on Yuan Si, and few others have received funding.

There is nothing we can do about this. There is a lack of resources in the Red Wasteland, and it is impossible to train every child.

We can only focus on cultivating those with the best talents, and don’t blame the family.”

This is the case for all families in the Red Wasteland. They concentrate most of their resources on a few mainline disciples with good talents.

Other mainline disciples with poor talents can still drink some soup.

When you go out to do things, you can also make money.

As for the children from distant branches, unless they are extremely talented and can lead the entire family to a further step, they can only work hard on their own.

The talent is average, that is, the family will provide some spiritual stones and send them to Qingdan Sect.

Liu Yuanchen, a distant descendant with poor talent, has never received a spiritual stone subsidy from his family since he was a child.

In the early years, all the resources needed for cultivation came from my father’s meager salary.

He was able to join the Qingdan Sect only because of his father's trust and connections, and had nothing to do with the family.

If you say you hate your family, you can't say that. I just don't have a sense of belonging.

It doesn't matter which store you sell the elixir you refine. If you don't harm your own interests, you can give priority to your family.

If the main line wants to pay a price for the family, that is just wishful thinking.

"Uncle Six is ​​serious. If I have a grudge against my family, there is no need for me to sell pills here.

I haven’t been home for about a year, how is your family?"

Liu Qingfeng's expression changed slightly, then returned to normal: "Third brother, he has been guarding Yanze, nothing happened."

Yanze is a small saltwater lake downstream of Dongyang Lake, the ancestral home of the Liu family.

The family built a salt farm there, and the salt produced every year can be sold for about a hundred spiritual stones.

Three distant tribesmen were arranged to sit in charge and protect the ordinary tribesmen who were drying salt there. Liu Yuanchen's father Liu Qingyun was one of them.

Liu Yuanchen has followed his father since he was a child and grew up by the salt lake.

Seeing him like this, Liu Yuanchen's heart sank. It seemed like something happened at home.

"Uncle Six, don't hide it from me. What happened to my father?"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Liu Qingfeng sighed: "More than ten days ago, several red sand wolves attacked Yanze.

A dozen ordinary tribesmen died, and your father was slightly injured, but he’s fine now.”

"My eldest brother is also in Yanze, how is he?"

"Yuanfu is fine. Third brother was injured just because he was trying to save him."

Liu Yuanchen breathed a sigh of relief: "I have to go back and take a look."

After that, it’s time to go out.

Liu Qingfeng grabbed him and said, "Our family is five to six hundred miles away from Qinghe Town. If you walk back like this, it will take at least two or three days.

The road is not peaceful and it is easy to be attacked by casual cultivators at night.

It just so happens that the family's cargo ship is going back to pick up cargo. You can take the cargo ship back.
