Chapter 272                                                             

Liu Zhinan glanced around, frowned and said in surprise: "What's going on? Why is this happening?"

Ye Feng asked curiously: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

"Every time I come back, there are crowds of people here. Why isn't there anyone who comes to buy medicine this time?"

"It's so late, all the people who buy medicine should go back to rest."

"No, even in the early morning, people come to the door to seek medicine. Now, just now, why can't a single figure be seen?"

"Zhinan, you are back!" A hoarse voice came. Ye Feng looked in the voice. A slightly old middle-aged man walked in through the side door next to him and looked at Liu Zhinan with a smile on his face.

This person looks like he is in his fifties, with a slightly gray hair, his head is raised and his chest is very stylish.

"Father!" Liu Zhinan couldn't help but feel happy when he saw this person, and rushed up and gave him a warm hug!

"Haha, why are you still like a child when you are so old?"

Liu Zhinan pursed her lips and smiled: "Long time no see my father, Zhinan naturally misses you very much!"

After a few casual greetings between the father and daughter, Liu Zhinan's father noticed Ye Feng and asked casually: "Who is this?"

"Oh, this is my senior brother Ye Feng. When I came back this time, I happened to meet him in the city, so I asked him to come back and stay together for one night and go to the Huanhai Chamber of Commerce tomorrow morning!"

Ye Feng bowed and said, "Ye Feng greets Senior Liu!"

"Haha, don't be polite. Since you are a fellow disciple of Zhinan, you don't have to be restrained when you come here. Just stay here!"

Liu Zhinan suddenly frowned and asked in confusion: "By the way, my father, why is our business bank so deserted this time? Have we sold out all our elixirs?"

Liu Zhinan's father's face immediately became serious and sighed, "Oh, you don't know that in the past six months, our Shengyuan Trading Company's business has been getting worse day by day. There are fewer and fewer people coming to exchange for the [True Fahui Yuan Dan]. If it weren't for other goods that could barely support us, our Shengyuan Trading Company would have closed down long ago!"

"How could such a thing happen? Our family's [True Dharma Huiyuan Pill] is unique in the entire Dongzhou. Unless no one practices immortality, this kind of pill will definitely be needed! How come there is no business?"

"I thought so at first, but later I realized that the merchants who used to exchange for [True Fahui Yuandan] here have now gone to the opposite 'Rongxuan Trading Company'!"

"How is that possible?" Liu Zhinan was shocked and said: "The [Zhenfa Huiyuan Dan] in our business not only has better medicinal effects than theirs, but also has a price of 20% lower than theirs. How could all the merchants go to their place?"

"The current Rongxuan Trading Company is different from before. I sent someone to the Rongxuan Trading Company opposite and exchanged a few of their [Zhenfa Huiyuan Dan] and found that the elixirs they have refined are not only several times better than ours in the selection of medicinal materials, but also much cheaper than ours in the price. So now all the [Zhenfa Huiyuan Dan] in our Trading Company has been accumulated, and no one can be sold!"

Liu Zhinan's eyebrows were twisted into a lump, and he became more and more confused: "The pill recipe from Rongxuan Trading Company was copied from our family before. How could the elixir refined be better than ours and have a lower price? What's going on?"

Liu Zhinan's father shook his head and said, "I heard that Rongxuan Chamber of Commerce recently invited a disciple who was very good at alchemy from the [Six Stars Nandou Alliance] and reorganized the pill formula of the [True Fa Hui Yuan Dan]. Although your uncle and I tried to improve it a few times, they were not as good as theirs!"

"Where is my uncle now? I want to see him!"

"It should be still in the alchemy room now!"

Liu Zhinan ran out through the side door with a quick step, and Ye Feng followed closely behind.

Ye Feng followed Liu Zhinan to the alchemy room and saw an old man with white beard sitting in front of a pill furnace to concentrate on refining the alchemy. As soon as Liu Zhinan entered the door, he said, "Uncle, how did the [True Fa Hui Yuan Dan] of Rongxuan Chamber of Commerce improve? Have you ever known?"

The old man sat upright beside the alchemy furnace and said without looking back: "Hmph, it turns out to be Zhinan. I said how dare you trespass on my husband's alchemy room!"

"Although Zhinan is a little presumptuous at his uncle's Danfang, I am very anxious about this matter. I wonder what my uncle has to do with this?"

The old man stood up slowly and said, "I'm not anxious, but I'm powerless about this matter now. I don't know where Rongxuan Trading Company found an alchemy master. The medicinal materials for refining [True Fa Huiyuan Pill] are not only cheap, but also very powerful. The attainment of alchemy can be above me. It seems that this person is really amazing!"

Ye Feng, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but smile and said, "What's so great about refining such an ordinary elixir? What the senior said is a bit exaggerated!"

Liu Zhinan's uncle glared and said, "Who are you? How dare you speak wildly in front of me!"

"Uncle calms down, this is Ye Feng, a senior brother of Zhinan!"

"Hmph, a young boy from the Sword Sect dared to speak rudely in front of me. He really didn't understand the rules at all!"

Liu Zhinan hurriedly lay down beside Ye Feng's ear and whispered: "This is my uncle. He is the [True Dharma Huiyuan Dan] on weekdays. His temper has always been like this. Don't be surprised!"

Seeing the old man's arrogant look, Ye Feng became interested instead and smiled slightly and said, "I wonder if Senior Liu can show you the [True Dharma Huiyuan Dan] refined by Rongxuan Trading Company?"

The old man snorted and said, "You kid really don't know that the world is high. I have traveled all over the world for nearly a hundred years and have been dedicated to refining elixirs. I have refined more elixirs than you have seen. Even I have never understood the secrets in the [True Dharma Huiyuan Pill]. Don't dream!"

Ye Feng chuckled and thought to himself: I think you are dreaming, right? You can’t even practice such a simple elixir and call yourself a master of alchemy. Don’t think I want to help you, I just want to help Liu Zhinan!

"You know a little about alchemy. Even if you can't help the senior, it's good to let me see it."

The old man snorted lightly, took out two pills of different colors from his sleeve and threw them to Ye Feng, and said disdainfully: "You guy can't see anything!"

Ye Feng took the pill and took a closer look. Although the two pills were both [True Fa Huiyuan Pill], the color was slightly darker and lighter. Liu Zhinan pointed to the light-colored pill and said, "That light-colored one was refined by our Shengyuan Trading Company!"

Ye Feng broke the two pills a little bit, put them on his fingertips and twisted them back and forth, then placed them on his nose and smelled them. Finally, he put them in his mouth and tasted them, and nodded secretly.

In addition to practicing in Guiyuan Peak, Liu Zhinan values ​​the most important thing in his daily life is alchemy. He has practiced in the Sword Sect for more than ten years. He not only learned magic, but also achieved some achievements in alchemy.

Before Ye Feng could speak, Liu Zhinan snatched the pill in Ye Feng's hand, followed the same steps to distinguish it, frowned and said, "From the taste, Rongxuan Trading Company's [Zhenfa Huiyuan Pill] seems to have added [White Maple Root], and replaced the more precious [Scrophularia ginseng], which will not only enhance the medicinal properties, but also reduce the cost of refining!"

While speaking, Liu Zhinan's father also walked in. When he heard Liu Zhinan's analysis, he couldn't help but nodded and said, "You can tell the selection of medicinal materials from the taste alone. It seems that Zhinan, you have not been practicing in Guiyuan Peak in the past few years!"

Liu Zhinan's uncle frowned and said seriously: "I also judged this way at the beginning, but after refining it, I realized that this was not the case. The [True Dharma Huiyuan Pill] refined according to the method you mentioned not only lost its original spirituality, but also had a little more poison!"

Liu Zhinan said in confusion: "It's impossible. Judging from the taste and smell of this elixir, it should be like this. How could it be wrong!"

Ye Feng smiled slightly and said, "Although what you said makes sense, it is not complete! This elixir does add [White Arbor] to remove the original [Scrophularia ginseng], but it also adds a herb, that is, the colorless and tasteless [Sumu Grass Leaves], which will neutralize the toxicity in it and make the medicine more effective!"

The old man was stunned at first, looked at Ye Feng in front of him and said, "It seems that you know a lot about some methods of alchemy. Which peak do you belong to the Sword Sect in the Heavenly Disaster?"

"Boy is from Feiyang Peak of the Sword Sect!"

The wrinkles on the corner of the old man's mouth shook slightly and said disdainfully: "Hmph, I thought you were from Guiyuan Peak, but it turned out to be Feiyang Peak, who only knows how to fight. No wonder he speaks so arrogantly!"

"Actually, the boy hasn't finished talking yet, this pill..."

"Hey... you need to say nothing, I also know that adding [Sumu Grass Leaf] will neutralize the toxicity in it. However, if this herb is added, it will greatly reduce the quality of the pills. The pills you practice are at most are only inferior, and the medicinal effect is much worse! Although you are unmatched in the fight with Feiyang Peak, no one of the pills can compare to me except Zi Xiao Zhenren!"

"Yes, the level of elder brother's alchemy in the entire Shengzhou City is definitely unique!" Liu Zhinan's father smiled and said, "Even Zi Xiao Zhenren from Feiyang Peak praised elder brother's alchemy level back then!"

True Man Zi Xiao? Haha, if I hadn’t given him some ideas about the furnace pill, I would have exploded long ago!

Ye Feng ignored the old man and turned to Liu Zhinan and said, "If that's right, the [Zhenfa Huiyuan Pill] you refined has added [Perilla] [Centenary Rush] [Lotus Heart Sci]... However, it is not that complicated to refine this pill. Just take out the [Perilla] and [Lotus Heart Sci] in it, plus the cheaper [Bamboo Leaf Crocodile], and the spirituality in it will increase greatly. With the pure Yang Earth Fire, you can refine the top-grade [Zhenfa Huiyuan Pill]!"
