Chapter 238
"Guest, please sit down and drink tea, it will be very fast."
The shop assistant went to get the medicine, and the shopkeeper greeted Xu Yang to sit down and poured him tea.
Xu Yang took a light sip and said: "May I ask the shopkeeper, do you know which shop in this Qingyang City acquires pills?"
Refining Blood-Coagulating Pills was no longer a problem, and now for him, the most difficult thing was selling the finished pills.
If the quantity was small, he could go to the black market, but he would definitely have to refine them in large quantities, so he couldn't go to the black market to set up a stall every day, and he couldn't sell that many.
A place like the Myriad Treasure Pavilion should acquire them, but he didn't dare to go to the Myriad Treasure Pavilion to sell them.
The shopkeeper's heart moved, his smile became more cordial, and he said: "Guest, are you an alchemist?"
Seeing Xu Yang wearing a bamboo hat and dressed mysteriously, he felt more and more that a true alchemist had come.
An alchemist, this was a person even rarer than a martial artist; if a family had an alchemist sitting in town, basically there would be no possibility of decline.
Xu Yang's voice carried a touch of coldness and said: "If the shopkeeper is unwilling to say, just assume I didn't ask."
"It was my abruptness."
The shopkeeper was startled, knowing his question had committed a taboo, and hurriedly apologized: "My Zhu family also acquires pills; if the guest has any pills you want to sell, feel free to bring them here, and I guarantee the price will satisfy the guest."
"Hmm!"
Xu Yang nodded, revealing an unfathomable appearance, and didn't continue to speak.
He didn't choose this medicine shop randomly; he had inquired about it and knew that the Zhu family had a good reputation, and their ancestors were alchemists of the Profound Heaven Sect, and now they also did pill business.
Soon the medicine was prepared, Xu Yang left with the things, and the shopkeeper sent him to the door, only returning reluctantly.
"Shopkeeper, should I follow him to see?" The shop assistant saw this and asked.
Zhu Bin was startled and said: "Are you looking for death? Following an alchemist, my Zhu family does legitimate business, don't do things that commit taboos.
If this alchemist wants to sell pills, he will come back on his own."
Xu Yang carried the medicinal herbs, turned around a few times to make sure no one was following, and then returned to the rented courtyard.
Washing the copper pot he bought before, and arranging the medicinal herbs in order, he started to light a fire to refine pills.
As if he had refined Blood-Coagulating Pills countless times, his movements were old-fashioned, without any mistakes, and the medicinal herbs were put into the pot one by one.
Three hours later, a layer of red paste appeared at the bottom of the pot; Xu Yang seized the time to remove the high heat, circulated his Gang Qi to protect his fingers, grabbed a handful of paste and rubbed it, and soon a Blood-Coagulating Pill the size of a longan took shape in his hand, emitting a faint fragrance.
He followed the same pattern, rubbing all the paste into balls, and finally eleven Blood-Coagulating Pills the size of a longan were placed in front of him.
"Eleven pills refined!"
Xu Yang had a smile on his face; using a copper pot and firewood, such a high success rate would definitely drop many people's jaws.
"Let's try the effect!"
He immediately threw a Blood-Coagulating Pill into his mouth, then closed his eyes and circulated his Gang Qi to dissolve the medicinal power.
A stream of heat seeped into his limbs and bones, and the stagnant Qi and blood started to surge, increasing a bit.
"The effect is better than the Qi-Nourishing Pill!"
Xu Yang's eyes lit up, but he soon reacted; he had eaten too many Qi-Nourishing Pills and had developed a drug resistance, so this was his first time taking a Blood-Coagulating Pill, which was why he felt the effect of the Blood-Coagulating Pill was better than the Qi-Nourishing Pill; in fact, the medicinal power of the two was about the same.
The reason why the Blood-Coagulating Pill didn't become mainstream was mainly because its cost-effectiveness was not as good as the Qi-Nourishing Pill; those alchemists all refined Qi-Nourishing Pills with lower costs, so Blood-Coagulating Pills were rarely seen on the market.
As long as he set the price of the Blood-Coagulating Pill the same as the Qi-Nourishing Pill, it should be able to be sold.
"Refining one furnace in three hours, four furnaces a day; with my success rate, at least ten pills per furnace, which is forty pills.
Even if one Blood-Coagulating Pill only earns two taels, I can earn eighty taels, and calculated, I can earn two thousand four hundred taels a month."
Xu Yang calculated secretly in his heart, and immediately beamed with joy; he finally had his own means of making money.
Of course, the accounts couldn't be calculated like this; he couldn't not cultivate and refine pills every day, and the profit of each pill shouldn't be just two taels; according to his estimate, the profit should be around four taels.
After all, the market price of the Qi-Nourishing Pill was ten taels of silver each; if he sold them to the medicine shop, he would have to sell them for eight taels each; the bulk couldn't be the medicine shop's, and the alchemist's labor wasn't that cheap.
"And with my attainment in Blood-Coagulating Pills, I can completely refine two furnaces at once; I only need to spend a few days a month refining, and earning a few hundred taels of silver is enough; cultivation is the foundation, money doesn't need to be too much."
The sky was already dark, Xu Yang had no intention of returning to the Profound Heaven Sect, so he washed the residue in the pot, started the pot to refine pills again, and refined the remaining set of medicine as well.
"Junior Brother Kong Yu, let's go back."
At the foot of the Profound Heaven Sect mountain, until it was dark, they didn't wait for Xu Yang, so Li Xu had to persuade him.
"He must be staying in the city, or returned to the sect from somewhere else; this person is truly cautious."
Kong Yu's face was livid, and a burst of anger had nowhere to vent, so he had to bombard the surrounding trees wildly.
He wasted a day in vain, but didn't even see a shadow of Xu Yang.
"Boom boom!"
Several large trees as thick as water buckets were broken by him, splashing a lot of smoke and dust.
"Damn it, let's go."
He angrily took Li Xu back to the Profound Heaven Sect, and after asking around, Xu Yang hadn't taken a detour, but hadn't returned.
"Find someone to watch the mountain gate for me, I want him not to be able to return this time." Kong Yu said angrily.
【Learned Blood-Coagulating Pill, points +10】
【Martial Dao Longevity Points: 12】
The next day, the first thing he did when he got up was to look at the panel; the nesting doll was successful, and he obtained the panel reward.
Swallowing a Blood-Coagulating Pill, he practiced the Burden-Bearing Bear Scripture for an hour, and when it was dawn, he immediately left the courtyard to go on a crazy shopping spree.
Buying medicinal herbs from several medicine shops with the four hundred taels of silver on him, he started his crazy pill refining mode.
Refining two furnaces at once was indeed feasible; of course, the speed would be slower.
At noon the next day, twenty-five medicine bottles were placed in front of him, containing one hundred and twenty-five Blood-Coagulating Pills.
There were twelve furnaces in total, and it wasn't that every furnace had eleven pills; he ate some, and the rest just happened to fill twenty-five medicine bottles.
Wearing a bamboo hat, mask, and fake beard.
Xu Yang packed all the pills in a cloth bag and went straight to the Zhu family medicine shop, soon seeing Zhu Bin.
"Shopkeeper Zhu, does the Zhu family want these pills?"
Xu Yang took out a porcelain bottle and poured out a bright red Blood-Coagulating Pill.
"Blood-Coagulating Pill, and a Blood-Coagulating Pill of excellent quality."
Zhu Bin's eyes lit up, he took the pill Xu Yang poured out, carefully sniffed it with his nose, and finally swallowed it directly into his abdomen, closing his eyes.
Xu Yang didn't speak either, waiting quietly.
He was extremely confident in his pills, and the quality wouldn't be worse than those refined by other alchemists.
After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Zhu Bin opened his eyes and said: "Good pill, if they are all pills of this quality, my Zhu family is willing to acquire them at the price of seven taels and five silver each; if we can cooperate for a long time, my Zhu family is willing to pay eight taels each."
The cost of the Blood-Coagulating Pill was less than four taels, even if it was seven taels and five silver, he could earn three taels and five silver per pill, and refining one furnace could earn thirty-five taels; this kind of person, the alchemist, was indeed making money.
If he opened a shop to sell them himself, he would earn even more.
Xu Yang's expression was calm, he didn't bargain, tapped his finger on the table, and said: "I heard that the ancestors of the Zhu family were also disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect; can the Zhu family still get Origin-Returning Pills or Mysterious Origin Qi-Transforming Pills now?"
Making money wasn't the goal, the main thing was to get things that improved cultivation.
Whether it was the Qi-Nourishing Pill or the Eight Treasures Body-Strengthening Pill, their effect on him was very small; only pills of the Gang Qi Realm were what he needed.
Even if he did missions in the Profound Heaven Sect every day, the contribution points he earned in a month couldn't be exchanged for a pill of the Gang Qi Realm.
Zhu Bin's eyes narrowed slightly and he said: "Does the guest want Origin-Returning Pills or Mysterious Origin Qi-Transforming Pills?"
Xu Yang nodded: "That's right!"
Although making this request had the risk of exposing his cultivation, the greatest value of an alchemist was refining pills, not being killed.
As long as he cooperated with the Zhu family, the Zhu family wouldn't have designs on him, and the Zhu family's reputation was also good.
Zhu Bin pondered for a moment and said: "To tell you the truth, my Zhu family still has some say in the Profound Heaven Sect, and we have a small share of Origin-Returning Pills every month.
If the guest can cooperate with my Zhu family for a long time, every month, the Zhu family can give the guest an Origin-Returning Pill for settlement."
Only Origin-Returning Pills?
