After thinking about this, Beichen coughed dryly and said: "I have some important things to deal with in the future, as short as three days, as long as five days, during the time I am away, you continue to refine the elixir and sell it." ”

Zheng Pinglu was embarrassed, and he stopped talking.

Beichen frowned and said, "If you have something to say, you don't have to hide it!"

Zheng Ping said: "Senior brother, I'm afraid we won't be able to sell the elixir." ”

"Why?" Beichen's voice unconsciously raised, he couldn't sell the elixir, wouldn't it cut off his financial route!

I only heard Zheng Ping explain: "During this time, there are too many people who come to buy elixir, and the medicinal materials I purchased before have already been used, and if you want to continue refining the elixir, you have to purchase a new batch of medicinal materials." ”

Beichen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he still thought that something was wrong, and he was short of medicinal materials for a long time?

Earlier, he's now—not bad for money!

Beichen coughed dryly, took out twenty spirit crystals and said: "This is my negligence, there are twenty spirit crystals here, ten of which are yours, and the other ten, you take them to buy medicinal materials, during my absence, the pharmacy will be closed first." ”

Although the pharmacy business is booming now, the sudden closure at this time can also let those monks who are watching know that they can't buy the elixir if they want to, which is also a kind of hunger marketing, and he can just take this opportunity to repair the Mixed Yuan Heavenly Clock without distraction!

With such a move to kill two birds with one stone, Beichen can't help but praise his wit!

Zheng Ping took the spirit crystal, he was very excited, he thought that it would be good if he could get three spirit crystals, but he never expected that Beichen would give him ten spirit crystals!

"Childe has a great kindness to me, from now on, I will definitely go to the soup for him!" Zheng Ping clenched his fists and swore in his heart.

"Senior brother, please rest assured, in the past few days of your absence, I will definitely try my best to collect all the medicinal materials!"

Beichen patted Zheng Ping's shoulder and encouraged, "I'm sure you won't let me down." ”

Who knows—

Four days later, Beichen came back after repairing the Chaoyuan Heavenly Clock, but saw Zheng Ping squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, dejected.

Looking at the empty medicine shop, Beichen suddenly felt bad, and he hurriedly asked, "What about the medicinal materials you bought, why are you sitting here with a depressed face?"

"Childe, Childe, I'm ashamed of you!" Zheng Ping raised his head and said ashamedly when he heard the voice.

The corners of Beichen's mouth

Why, does this conversation sound like you're turning me green......

"Tell me what happened in the past few days?!"

"Senior brother, here's how it ......"

So, Zheng Ping slowly talked about what happened in the past few days.

......

After a stick of incense, Beichen frowned and paced back and forth in the hall, he never thought that the pharmacists of the Baiyun Temple were willing to spend several times higher prices than before in order to purchase medicinal materials from the northern realm?

Not only that, but those monks who came back from collecting medicine in the ice and snow fields, if they didn't sell the elixir to them, they would still make a faint threat.

On the one hand, it is the temptation of the spirit stone, and on the other hand, it is the threat of the behemoth of the Baiyun Temple.

Naturally, most of the medicinal materials collected came back to the Baiyun Temple, and it was no wonder that Zheng Ping would return in vain these days.

"In the past, the people of Baiyun Temple had already purchased medicinal materials on a large scale, which led to an increase in prices, but at that time, if the pharmacist gritted his teeth, he could still eat some of the medicinal materials.

But now...... The price of this medicinal herb has skyrocketed like crazy, and most pharmacists can no longer afford to buy medicinal herbs, and because the price of medicinal herbs is getting higher and higher, more and more monks are going to the ice and snow fields to collect medicinal herbs.

According to their rumors, it is rare to find elixirs near the northern city, and if you want to collect them, you have to go deeper into the ice and snow fields, but that also means that they also take higher risks......"

Higher risk means higher returns, and so on, the price of medicinal herbs in the north will get higher and higher, which is an endless cycle.

It's just that Beichen doesn't understand one thing, what is Baiyun Temple going to do when it collects so many medicinal materials?

If it was just to collect the Heavenly Treasures of the Northern Realm, then the amount they had collected before should have been able to be used for a long time.

Could it be that he wants to be like the unscrupulous profiteers in the previous life, crazy to dump pork over there, and then raise the price of pork to earn a high price difference?

But if it's for the spirit stone, how can they heal and make money quickly?

You know, those unscrupulous doctors make money much faster than selling pork!

Uh-huh, off-topic......

Beichen shook his head, he really couldn't analyze why.

After a while, he asked, "How many spirit stones is there in the cold ice grass now?"

Zheng Ping replied weakly: "Three Spirit Stones......"

Hmm? In the past, it used to be a bunch of spirit stones, but now it has tripled? But fortunately, you can still collect a certain amount of money with a little more investment.

"One plant. Zheng Ping continued.

"What?!" Beichen's eyes widened sharply, and he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

The cold ice grass is mostly sold by bunches, and a bunch is ten plants, he never thought that the cold ice grass, which was so ordinary in the past, would be fried to such a sky-high price at this moment!

Not to mention the already rare medicinal materials such as Ice Heart Fruit and Luoyang Flower!

Zheng Ping saw Beichen's ugly face and added: "Originally, the ten spirit crystals that Senior Brother gave me could buy a certain amount of medicinal materials, but because of the Baiyun Temple, if we want to buy medicinal materials, we need to pay a higher price.

I really couldn't do anything, and I didn't dare to abuse the spirit crystal that my senior brother gave me, so I could only go back empty-handed.

However, I did agree with a medicine collection team that specializes in going out to collect elixirs, if we can take out thirty spirit crystals at once, they can secretly sell the medicinal materials to us at the price purchased by the Baiyun Temple, senior brother, look?"

The corners of Beichen's mouth twitched, not knowing how to respond.

If this matter is left before he leaves, in order to make money for a long time, he will take these thirty spirit crystals.

But these days, a large amount of his resources have been used to buy alchemy materials and repair the Mixed Yuan Heavenly Clock.

And the rest of the spirit crystals, when he was refining the weapon, unknowingly turned into spiritual energy, and were absorbed by his body, and the number of spirit crystals that were absorbed was more than fifty!

Now Beichen still trembled with anger when he thought of this, because absorbing spirit crystals was not his intention at all, and he had never thought about how high he wanted to improve his cultivation!

But no matter what the process is, the result now is - he is poor again jingle!

"Senior brother, senior brother!" Zheng Ping called out in a low voice as he looked at Beichen, whose expression was constantly changing.

"What's wrong?" Beichen came back to his senses.

"Senior brother, what do you think of the thirty spirit crystals I just told you?"

Beichen: "......"
