Chapter 303: Pill Hall(1/2)
Chapter 303 Alchemy Hall
Yunqu City is a small city with the Yunze Mountains on its back and is located on the edge of the border between the Three Kingdoms. The most frequent people among them are the immortal cultivators who are constantly going in and out of the Yunze Mountains to explore for mineral deposits, collect spiritual herbs, and hunt exotic beasts.
Among these cultivators, there are not only casual cultivators who work alone, but also mercenary groups of various family clans and forces involved in this place, which can be regarded as a hodgepodge.
Since so many forces are involved here, it is natural that the Soul Stone Master Organization is indispensable. This organization involves almost the entire Hongmeng, and it also occupies a considerable share here.
After all, if you want to enter the Yunze Mountains, it is not enough to rely on the practitioner's own strength. You also need the support of a series of resources such as Horcrux formations, pills, and various other resources collected in the Yunze Mountains.
Resources also need to be processed by soul stone masters and turned into usable resources. This is also destined to have the existence of soul stone masters here.
Soul Stone Masters are divided into many branches, including Soul Stone Masters who constantly refine Soul Stones in order to improve their own soul realm, Soul Stone Masters who enter the Tao with tools and devote themselves wholeheartedly to the art of making treasures. They use the spirit as the pen and the soul as the ink.
A carver who writes patterns, and an array master who combines the three skills of carving and making treasures.
Among these branches of soul stone masters, treasure makers are more popular. After all, if you want to enter the Yunze Mountains, a handy weapon and a life-saving elixir are indispensable, and a carving skill is essential.
Most of them can only work with the treasure-making skills. As for the formation, it takes time to arrange and relies on the venue or formation to be effective. It is quite passive.
Among the treasure-making masters, they are divided into soul weapon masters who mainly refine soul weapons and alchemy masters who mainly refine elixirs. Among the two, alchemy masters are more popular.
As Zhou Yutian said, most of these things, except for some consumable items, are durable goods. If they are consumed too quickly, naturally no one will continue to patronize them, and no one will continue to patronize them until they are exhausted.
Patronize. However, elixirs are different. The better the effect, the more people buy them. And the faster they are consumed, the more people buy them. Because of this, elixir masters are the most popular branch among soul stone masters.
Therefore, among the large splendid buildings organized by Soul Stone Master in the center of Yunqu City, Dantang is more graceful and prosperous. The reason is nothing more than the wealth of Dantang.
"Is the Immortal Master here looking for someone to ask for elixirs, or does it have something else?" As soon as Bao Rui and Chai Fei entered the elixir hall hall, the receptionists greeted them warmly, without any hesitation because of Bao Rui's age.
despise her.
The Bao family entered Taoism through business, which happened to be Bao Rui's strength. Even Zhou Wutian admitted that he was not as good at it, so he directly asked Bao Rui to take charge of this matter.
"Well, mortals?" Bao Rui looked at the people who came to receive him and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He didn't expect that this alchemy hall would be received by mortals. You must know that in Huowu City, just by the name of the alchemy hall,
, even if it is a janitor position, there are a lot of early Yaoguang cultivators who will break their scalps to grab it. Here, it is actually held by a mortal, which makes Bao Rui surprised.
"Yes, Immortal Master." The receptionist nodded and bowed quickly, "If you are not satisfied, I can invite our foreman, the Immortal Master, to come over and show you the way."
"No, I don't care about this. I just want to ask about some business matters." Bao Rui said, "We are new here and want to conduct some elixir transactions in the city. I don't know what procedures need to be completed here?"
"Oh, it turns out that we are going to trade elixirs. I'm afraid this matter is not under the control of our elixir hall. You have to go to the chamber of commerce in the city and ask." The receptionist heard that he wanted to do business, and his face was full of enthusiasm.
A lot of it disappeared immediately, but due to professional reasons
, still smiling for a long time, "However, Master Immortal, it is too late for you to come here to do business, because most of the alchemists in the city are worshiped by various chambers of commerce. If you join now, you will not be able to do it unless you pay enough commission."
I can’t get the elixir.”
"No, we don't plan to buy and trade elixirs here. Instead, we are going to get the elixirs ourselves and trade them. Don't you know what the requirements are for this?" Bao Rui knew that the other party would have misunderstood, so he quickly explained.
"Get elixirs for trading by yourself? There are no requirements for this, but now the elixir market in Yunqu City has been divided up. There were many chambers of commerce who had the idea of elixirs before, but they all lost their money.
I advise you, Immortal Master, to give it serious consideration."
"We will consider these things ourselves. Let's talk about any special rules so that we don't understand them later," Bao Rui said.
"This part of the elixir trading rules is under the control of the Dantang. However, Yunqu City is relatively free. As long as there are no quality problems with the elixirs, there is only an upper limit on the price and no lower limit for the elixir business. As long as you don't try to monopolize the elixirs.
If you raise the price of medicine, Dantang will never care about it, but if you want
It's a price war with low prices, so Dantang fully encourages it, and everyone encourages it." The receptionist quickly said, "These rules are all written in the Dantang hall, and you can also buy them from there for a soul stone.
A jade slip explains, but we mortals cannot go there, you have to go there by yourself."
"Okay, let me go take a look." Bao Rui walked inside, while Chai Fei left a piece of soul mineral to the receptionist before following him.
"Thank you, Master Xian. Thank you, Master Xian." The person responsible for receiving Bao Rui quickly thanked Bao Rui when he saw his handiwork.
After learning many things from Dantang, Bao Rui and Chai Fei turned around and went directly into a small-scale chamber of commerce.
Dantang has only made some binding rules for elixir transactions, but there is not much content on transactions. For this part, you need to go to the Chamber of Commerce to see what hidden business rules are included.
However, the reception staff of these chambers of commerce were all early Yaoguang practitioners, so they were not treated so politely, especially since Bao Rui and Chai Fei were much stronger than them, and they were unable to explore their strength.
He just thought it was some young master sent by the family to practice. Out of face, he explained a little bit and then quickly sent the two people away.
Some chamber of commerce houses are so big that they don't care if they are sinners. After seeing the two children coming in, they immediately kicked them out. However, even so, Bao Rui and the others still obtained a considerable part of the transactions related to Yunqu City.
rule.
Among them, it is basically the same as what the receptionist of Dantang said. As long as it does not violate the rules of Dantang, you can trade freely. However, this is the case, but the various chambers of commerce in the city have basically monopolized the elixirs, and outsiders
There is no way to get the elixirs refined locally, so the elixirs can only be shipped in from outside. However, these monopoly chambers of commerce have not raised prices, so the elixir hall will not take care of it.
After clarifying the rules, Bao Rui moved on to the second step, which was to find a chamber of commerce to cooperate and provide materials and sales channels.
As soon as those chambers of commerce heard that they needed to provide alchemy materials, they immediately became energetic, thinking that they could win over the alchemist. However, when they heard that the two little guys in front of them were about to start learning alchemy, they immediately dismissed them with a dark face.
In their opinion, instead of betting on the future elixir master, it is better to pick up the ready-made one.
However, there are exceptions to everything. Someone in a very small chamber of commerce has shown some willingness. This small chamber of commerce is only composed of a dozen or so families. Because it cannot afford the sacrifice of an alchemist, it cannot hire an alchemist.
Can be combined, pay the franchise fee, and then join other chambers of commerce at a price slightly lower than the market
They buy elixirs at high prices and then sell them for a small profit. However, even so, they are sometimes strangled by other chambers of commerce and forced to pay additional offerings in exchange for the chance to continue to survive. Fortunately, they also operate some Horcrux elixirs.
Medicine materials and other things, otherwise it would basically go out of business just relying on elixirs.
"The two young friends have good qualifications and excellent eloquence. I think we can have something to look forward to. Why don't we give these two people the spiritual grass of the Ten Soul Stones on credit and wait for the consequences?" The leader, an old man, looked at the two of them.
, said kindly.
"Mr. Chu, are you kidding me? These two people are not clear about their background. They are still planning to learn alchemy. How do you know they will be able to learn it? It is difficult to become a soul stone master, let alone an alchemist.
, Even if our Chamber of Commerce is in dire straits now, we cannot rush to seek medical treatment." The next middle-aged man frowned and said, obviously unhappy with this hasty decision.
"Yes, Mr. Chu, you are highly respected, please give more consideration to the Chamber of Commerce." Another person said.
"Then what do you think of solving the current predicament of the chamber of commerce? Just sit here and wait for death." Mr. Chu said angrily. This time, other chambers of commerce that supplied elixirs and soul weapons increased their supply prices by one point. At the same time, they also
The purpose of lowering the market price is clearly to force these small chambers of commerce to increase their franchise fees this year, and these people in the chamber of commerce have been discussing this for a long time.
The division of the share of these franchise fees has been pending for a long time.
The old man had no choice, so he let Bao Rui and Chai Fei in this time to calm the atmosphere, and to let everyone present know that if there was no other way, this would be the last resort.
"Mr. Chu, let me tell you the truth. Your Chu family has a big business and can still sustain it, but small shops like ours really can't bear it. We really have no choice but to increase the franchise fee this time. Really
It’s time to drink the northwest wind.” Another person said.
"Yes, yes, it's all too difficult." Everyone immediately agreed.
"Huh, our Chu family's family business is the result of our clan's hard work in the Yunze Mountains. What does it have to do with the Chamber of Commerce?" The old man surnamed Chu said coldly, "On the contrary, your Wang family gets the most goods from the Chamber of Commerce.
It’s really unjustifiable to still be here crying about poverty when you have gained the most profits.”
"Mr. Chu, our business association is naturally to make money through business. If we don't do business, then why do we pay so many franchise fees in vain every year? And there is no limit on the quantity of these elixirs. As long as your Chu family has money,
When you sell it, don't you just want to get as much as you want?" The man surnamed Wang immediately retorted.
"Yes, the Chamber of Commerce was established just for doing business. Otherwise, why would the Chamber of Commerce be used?" Many people below agreed. Their family is relatively small and cannot go deep into the Yunze Mountains to explore. They can only rely on business to make profits, so for the Wang surname
I quite agree with what the person said.
"Hmph, the share shared by my Chu family is more than the profits my Chu family has gained from the Chamber of Commerce. My Chu family will never agree to this kind of thing." The old man surnamed Chu snorted coldly.
"You can't say that. Although your Chu family did not gain profits from the business, you also took a lot of elixirs from the Chamber of Commerce at the purchase price for your own use. I'm afraid this must be taken into account." said the man surnamed Wang.
"Yes, yes, it has to count." A group of people immediately agreed. These things that are beneficial to them will naturally be recognized by them.
"Then the problem is simple. We have records of elixirs. How about converting profits directly based on the quantity of elixirs and the average market price, and sharing the franchise fee?" said the old man surnamed Chu, "In this way, all elixirs will be calculated.
Let’s go in, how about?!”
"Mr. Chu, this is different from when we first discussed cooperation. You can't change the rules just because you've made money." The man surnamed Wang said immediately, while everyone below agreed.
"Rules? You guys were very weak at the beginning, so I, the Chu family, took care of you and reduced your share. You also promised that if you develop in the future, you will no longer need the Chu family to share. Now that you have developed separately, you feel that this is what you should do.
Already?" The old man surnamed Chu slapped the table and stood up and said angrily. After this argument, everyone still wanted the Chu family to share the largest share.
share, and this share is far more than the sum of all the profits of the Chu family in the chamber of commerce. It can even be said that the result of the continuous increase in franchise fees over the years has been shouldered by the Chu family. If everyone is grateful, the Chu family will
Naturally, I am happy to be the leader, but the orientation of this group of people is as ordinary as it should be. They are not grateful and are instead aggressive.
"Mr. Chu, we all got together for the purpose of cooperation. Everyone has contributed to the Chamber of Commerce. It's inappropriate for you to say that." The man surnamed Wang stood up and said righteously, "If you
If you feel that my Wang family has some plot against the Chamber of Commerce and harmed the interests of the Chamber of Commerce, then my Wang family will withdraw from the Chamber of Commerce."
"Mr. Chu, the same is true for us." In addition to the people surnamed Wang, many people stood up and said seriously.
"Okay, okay, you have developed, your wings are strong, and you want to fly solo. I will help you. If you want to leave, you can go. I will never hold you back." The old man surnamed Chu became even more angry and shouted at these people.
road.
"I, the Wang family, have no shame in my heart. Since the 'Hexin Chamber of Commerce' cannot accommodate my Wang family, I will leave." The man surnamed Wang flicked his sleeves and hurriedly walked out.
Originally, the chamber of commerce was only a loose cooperation, formed to collect franchise fees, but now they disperse without any restrictions.
"Oh, what a bunch of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves." Seeing all the people leaving, the remaining middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh.
"Humph, you should have expected these things when they were crying and begging to come in. Now that these white-eyed wolves have left cleanly, it is also the consequences that have been laid long ago." The old man surnamed Chu still said
He said with some annoyance, obviously unwilling to let them go like this.
