Volume 2 Chapter 25 The Alchemist
After sending the maid away, Lu Yu and Ziyan sat down, looked out through the barrier in front of the two, and found that the two of them were now at the top of the entire auction hall, which was shaped like a huge amphitheater, surrounded by boxes where no figures could be seen.
There are ten floors from the bottom to the top, and each floor is divided into hundreds of boxes, and it is not known whether there are people in each box.
The center of the auction hall is the high platform where the auctioneer stands, which is right in the center of the auction hall, and it is also just right for everyone in the box to see the situation on the auction platform.
Through the information jade plate in Lu Yu's hand, you can clearly know what goods are being auctioned, and if you want to bid, you can enter your own offer on the jade plate.
Each auction will select 1,000 items for auction, and it is impossible to auction so many lots in a short period of time, so each auction will last more than one day, and sometimes the auction will last for more than two days due to fierce competition.
Lu Yu and Ziyan were watching the lively melon-eating crowd, eating spiritual fruits, drinking spiritual tea, and judging each auction item.
"This shield also has a flying function, the refiner spent a month refining it, it consumed a lot of spiritual materials, and the auction reserve price is less than two thousand, isn't it too cheap!"
Ziyan lay lazily on the chair, Qianqianyu picked up a grape with her fingers, opened her mouth lightly, and elegantly put it into her mouth and said: "The shield is used for defense, and it will inevitably be damaged during the battle, and I don't know if it was the whim of the refiner who lacked the eyes, if this is damaged during the battle, the flight function will definitely lose its effect, and I won't even be able to run when the time comes, so what's the point of this magic weapon, I think the two thousand spirit stones are high." ”
Lu Yu felt that what Ziyan said made sense, and pointed to a magic weapon and said, "This attack-type long thorn-shaped magic weapon has a paralyzing toxin effect on it, and the price is three thousand five hundred spirit stones, what do you think?" ”
"It's just a paralyzing attribute, and the effect is a bit chicken."
Ziyan continued to comment unhurriedly: "In the battle, the monk with long-range output will not let the opponent get close at all, and the melee type body refining monk usually takes into account the possibility of being affected by the toxin, plus the body refining monk himself has a super strong physique, ordinary toxins are basically useless, and it is not cost-effective to use high-grade toxins, and the practicality of this magic weapon is not great." ”
"You know a lot!"
"Of course, this kind of thing is usually discussed among monks, and if you listen to it more, you will naturally know it!"
The two chatted without saying a word, and suddenly Lu Yu looked out the window and said, "A bottle of Meditation Pill costs a thousand spirit stones, will this price be too high." ”
Ziyan also stretched out his head to look at the auction table, and found that the auctioneer on the table was auctioning a bottle of Meditation Pill, and the price soared from five hundred spirit stones to one thousand one hundred spirit stones before stopping.
Ziyan knew that Lu Yu was going to plant the Meditation Grass, and the Meditation Pill was made from the Meditation Grass, if he planted his own alchemy, the cost of a bottle of the Meditation Pill would be less than a hundred spirit stones, and it seemed that the price was indeed inflated.
But Ziyan didn't see it that way, and reminded: "Lu Lang, you don't just calculate the cost of the pill, but also look at the quality of the pill and the level of the alchemist, the quality of this bottle of Meditation Pill is a low-level high-grade, two small grades higher than the ordinary Meditation Pill, and it is also refined by the alchemy master, so it is not strange to shoot more than a thousand spirit stones." ”
"And that's it!"
Although Lu Yu knew that the quality of each elixir was high and low, he didn't expect the difference to be so big.
Doesn't this mean that the higher the quality of the same pill, the higher the price, and the higher the level of the refined Danshi, the higher the price?
In this case, the alchemist doesn't need to refine the pill, as long as he says that this bottle of pill is refined by himself, he can increase the price several times, is it really a million profits?
Seeing that Lu Yu didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something, Ziyan put his two long white legs on Lu Yu's legs, because Ziyan found that Lu Yu had a very good temper, and when he was coquettish and angry and unreasonable, Lu Yu would coax himself.
There was only one thing that she couldn't understand, that is, why Lu Yu was reluctant to take her to Tiannan Road, was it because she was worried that she would not be able to adapt to the long journey?
Ziyan just knew that Lu Yu was hiding some secrets, but that monk didn't have any secrets of his own?
Therefore, it is not surprising that Ziyan likes to play and disappear for Lu Yu, and there is no intention of asking.
But Lu Yu's secret is what Ziyan can think of, if Ziyan is brought with him, Lu Yu's strange behavior will inevitably be detected by Ziyan, and this kind of behavior is extremely abnormal, which is easy to cause Ziyan to be alert, what should Lu Yu do at that time?
Lu Yu came back to his senses from his thoughts, glanced at Ziyan and said, "So that's the case!" How to divide the level of alchemists? ”
Ziyan had long found out that Lu Yu didn't even understand some of the basic knowledge of monks, but it was not surprising to think that Lu Yu was born in a poor family.
"The level of alchemist is divided into alchemy apprentice, alchemist, alchemy master and alchemy master, I don't know if there is a higher level above, but if you want to become an alchemist, in addition to mastering alchemy skills, you also have to go through the assessment of Danta, Danmen has Danta in every state, as long as you pay some fees, you can be assessed at any time, after passing the assessment, you will be issued a Dan card to the alchemist, with this Dan card, no matter where you go, you will be recognized by others."
"Then how to assess, is it alchemy on the spot?"
"Yes!"
Ziyan said: "What level of alchemist to assess, you need to refine three common pills on the spot, as long as you can refine them, you will pass the assessment, otherwise you can only wait another year." ”
Lu Yu nodded after listening, knowing that it was not realistic to think about these things now, if you want to make an alchemy, there are too many conditions that need to be prepared, you do have a Dan furnace, but you also need Dan fire and medicinal materials, medicinal materials can be bought as long as there are spirit stones, and he and Ziyan also have a lot of heavenly and earthly treasures in their hands, but it is a bit of a waste to use heavenly materials and earthly treasures at the beginning, when you first start to practice, you can use some ordinary medicinal materials to exercise, and then consider using heavenly materials and earthly treasures after the alchemy skills are improved.
In fact, the most difficult thing in the early stage of alchemy is the Danhuo, which is divided into three types: earth fire, spiritual fire and different fire, and there is basically no need to consider different fires, which is not something that Lu Yu, who is cultivating now, dares to think about at all.
Earth fire is the fire of the leyline, and it is also the most common kind of Dan fire, but the earth fire is in the hands of some families and sects, and outsiders need to pay a large amount of spirit stones to each other if they want to use it.
The spiritual fire is very simple, as long as the cultivator has reached the seventh level of qi refining, and has the fire spirit root, he can cultivate the fire technique, and he can generate the spiritual fire, which can be used to refine the elixir.
The problem is that the spiritual fire of low-level monks is quite unstable, and it consumes a large amount of spiritual power in the body, ordinary monks simply cannot afford the consumption of spiritual fire, often the elixir has not been refined, and the danhuo has already squeezed out the spiritual power in the monk's body.
So Linghuo was not the best choice among the early monks at all!
Then you can only choose the earth fire, but the question arises again, can the low-level monks afford the cost of the earth fire? The answer is no, there has never been a low-level monk who has so many spirit stones, and even if he has, he will not spend it on earth fire, which leads to the fact that there is basically no alchemist among low-level ordinary monks.
