Chapter 33: The Four-Rank Elixir Master
After walking through the Wanyu Mountains, you will arrive at the barren desert.
The southwest of the barren desert is heavily intercepted by the Wanyu Mountain Range, and the south is blocked by the tall Dragon Bone Mountain Range, and the water vapor from the sea is difficult to descend, and the lack of water vapor makes most creatures unable to survive in such a harsh environment, and those who survive become extremely dangerous.
In such a harsh environment, the competition for resources is particularly obvious in the barren desert, and it is difficult for official forces to intervene, and it breeds countless bandits and robbers.
Because of the presence of bandits, it is obviously not a good route for merchants to walk through the barren desert, but if they go around the desert, they have to increase the distance several times. In order to keep their items up to date and maximize profits, merchants are often willing to take the risk of being robbed and take shortcuts through the desert.
However, in order to ensure their own safety, caravans usually hire mercenary squads to protect themselves through this dangerous place. It is also because of the prevalence of mercenaries, at the junction of the Wanyu Mountains and the Barren Desert, the city of mercenaries, Stormwind City, came into being.
At this time, the three of Yin Jiuchen, who had walked out of the Wanyu Mountain Range, were standing on the streets of this busy city, watching countless mercenaries, merchants, citizens, and servants come and go, and they were shocked by this lively scene. The three of them hadn't seen so many people in a long time.
"Let's find a place to stay and wash up. Yin Jiuchen held back his excitement and opened his mouth to propose. Xia Lian agreed, and Qiu Muyi also nodded.
I've had a hot bath and a nice meal. The three of them took off their old clothes and changed into new ones, and wandered leisurely around Stormwind.
There are a few things in Stormwind that are obvious. One is the mercenary hall, which is used to register the mercenary level, issue mercenary tasks, and accept tasks, the other is the tavern, which is very lively day and night, a place for recreation and exchange of information, and there are equipment shops and pharmacies, and the flow of people is also very large. Others are accommodation, catering, auctions, etc.
Yin Jiuchen was interested in elixirs at this time, there were many kinds of elixirs on the "Elixir Excerpts" that could not be refined because there were no medicinal materials, and he planned to visit the pharmacy and buy the medicinal materials back.
Now I still have a lot of money in my hand, and I can buy a lot of medicinal herbs. Yin Jiuchen said that he would do it, and bought several copies of each of the elixirs he wanted to make, and his property shrank greatly.
The production of the elixir does not seem to be difficult, and it is only divided into several steps such as grinding, mixing, and boiling, but the actual operation requires very high requirements for the person who makes the elixir. First of all, you need to understand the habits of each herb, know how to deal with the best, the proportion of mixed herbs can not be wrong, if the year is different, you need to temporarily change the proportion, and you should also pay attention to controlling the heat and time when boiling.
After returning to the hotel, Yin Jiuchen started a pharmaceutical business. Since he was a child, he has been exposed to a lot of medicinal materials with his adoptive mother, and he also read a lot of related books when he studied under Feng Moqi, and his knowledge reserve is very rich, so he can prepare some elixirs by himself.
Yin Jiuchen made it step by step according to the prescription recorded in the "Elixir Excerpt". Xia Lian next to her looked at it with wide eyes, she felt that the process of making elixir was the same as doing chemical experiments, is it really okay to drink this kind of thing into the human body?
Yin Jiuchen concentrated his attention and carefully concocted the elixir, although he failed and wasted several medicinal materials, but as his proficiency came up, he also began to make a successful elixir.
Elixirs are graded by grade, and they are divided into grades one to nine like refining vessels, with one grade being the lowest and nine grades being the highest. According to the quality of the refining medicine, it is divided into upper, middle and lower grades, and now the several elixirs refined by Yin Jiuchen belong to the third and fourth grade elixirs, and after the proficiency comes up, the quality of the elixir has gradually improved.
Taking an injured wound as an example, the first grade of elixir can only prevent the wound from deteriorating, the second grade can recover slowly, and the third grade is the most common, with a faster recovery and less expensive. However, because the price of medicinal materials is expensive, many pharmacists are unable to practice, and the prescriptions above the four grades are not very popular in the market, making the four grades of elixir rare, although the effect is really good, but only the rich are willing to use it in order to reduce the pain time.
Yin Jiuchen had read the prescriptions on the "Excerpts of Elixirs", and the highest level actually had seven-grade elixirs, but just looking at the medicinal materials contained in the prescriptions, he could only be greedy.
At present, there are four kinds of elixirs made by Yin Jiuchen, two of which are three products, one is the "Mu Huan" elixir, which has a good healing effect, and the other is the "Hui Qi" elixir, which is used to restore the aura, and the number is twenty or thirty copies, and Yin Jiuchen plans to sell them; the other two are four products, and there are only five or six copies of the "Quick Spirit" and "Blue Flame" that were used before, and they plan to use it themselves.
Refining the elixir is very laborious, and it consumes a lot of Yin Jiuchen's soul power, but his proficiency is constantly rising, and now he is barely a fourth-grade elixir master.
The next day, Yin Jiuchen sold the finished elixir to the largest pharmacy in Stormwind City. The three-grade elixir Yin Jiuchen has done it many times, and he is very proficient in it, and the quality is relatively high, so he sold it at a good price. Just as he was about to leave the pharmacy, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy in Chinese clothes walked out from behind the store, and the original pharmacy shopkeeper nodded beside him.
"Wait a minute, boy. Brother Childe called.
Yin Jiuchen turned a deaf ear and took Xia Lian and Qiu Muyi straight outside, but two people stopped him at the door, these two people had a calm breath, and their strength was higher than him, and they should be in the third or fourth order of imperial qi.
Yin Jiuchen turned his head impatiently, looked at the pale boy with two dark circles under his eyes, frowned and said, "I don't have any qi and blood medicine here." ”
"Poof. Xia Lian couldn't help laughing, and quickly covered her mouth again.
Brother Gongzi's face turned a little red: "Who told you this!" He opened the fan gracefully and slowly rotated around the three of Yin Jiuchen.
"To be able to make so many high-quality third-grade elixirs, are you a fourth-grade elixir master?"
"Who knows. Yin Jiuchen did not judge.
"How about joining our Zheng Clan Refining Chamber of Commerce, we will provide you with medicinal materials, you will be responsible for refining medicines, and we will help you sell the finished products. In this way, you can not only increase your experience in refining medicine, improve your proficiency, but also get the honorable status and worship of the elixir master from us, how about it?"
"No, I refuse. ”
"It's not a good habit to make up your mind so quickly," Zheng Gongzi put away the folding fan and slapped it in his hand, "Our Zheng Clan's Elixir Chamber of Commerce is the largest supplier of elixirs and medicinal materials in Stormwind City, if you feel bad, then you may not be able to sell a single elixir you made, and no one will provide you with medicinal materials." ”
This is a clear threat.
Yin Jiuchen thought, I don't stay here, I'm worried about a fart. Just as he was about to speak, a sweet female voice came from outside the pharmacy:
"Zheng Gongzi is not afraid of the wind and flashes his tongue, do you take our Nangong family in your eyes?"
Outside the pharmacy, several powerful guards surrounded a beautiful girl with a capable temperament stepped forward, the girl pushed aside the guards blocking the door with one hand, and looked at Zheng Gongzi with phoenix eyes.
