Chapter 18: The Trouble of the Shopkeeper Tong
Zhen Yinjian was in a very good mood at this time, and finally solved Zhen Yunyun's trouble, and also relieved his guilty heart. He fell asleep against the table, wanting to wait a while to see how Yun Yun was doing.
Who knew that this sleep would pass for half an hour, until a pair of small hands woke him up.
"Yunyun, you're back. Zhen Yinjian, who opened his eyes, found that something was wrong, how did he feel that this chick had become thinner.
Continuing to wipe the corners of his eyes, Zhen Yinjian was surprised to find that Yun Yun, a fat girl who was close to two hundred pounds before, had lost weight, and it looked like she was less than a hundred pounds.
"What the hell, are you Yunyun?"
"It's me, Zhen Lang, I just felt a lot more relaxed after going to the toilet, and then I took a shower, and then I found that I had lost weight. Feeling that she has become beautiful and thin, the pear-like smile on Zhen Yunyun's face is intoxicating.
What she didn't say was that she felt a significant weight loss when she went to the toilet, and when she bathed, she washed buckets of grease. These things are so embarrassing that she can't say anything about a girl's family.
"Great, Yunyun, you've become pretty!" Zhen Yinjian danced with Yunyun in his arms. To be honest, it was only an expedient measure to conquer this simple girl at the beginning, and in the face of her ugly again, I may not have the patience to persuade her.
But now that this girl has taken this "Yurong Pill", she has become reborn, which solves his great doubts. It seems that this second-order elixir worth 1,000 spirit gold is still worth it.
Bidding farewell to the reluctant Zhen Yunyun, he returned to his house, rested for a while, and continued to go out the next day.
When he came to Xingchunfang, he bought 10 Lingjin Huanchun Dan medicinal materials, as a mid-to-high-end medicine shop, most of the medicinal materials here are sold. Then he said hello to Shopkeeper Tong and went home.
He remembered that he owed the white-bearded old man 900 spirit gold, and he was a little hairy when he thought about it.
In the following month, Zhen Yinjian carried out alchemy operations without sleeping or eating, during which dozens of furnaces of pills were refined. He usually sells the mid-to-high-grade Huanchun Dan to the shopkeeper Tong, and then sells the occasional refined Chun Dan to him, all of which are at market price.
First, the old man was shocked to see Zhen Yinjian's such efficient alchemy results, and accepted all the Spring Returning Pills with a smile and returned them to the settlement. By the time Zhen Yinjian came to the door for the second time, Old Man Tong was already a little reluctant to accept this batch of pills.
By the time of the third time, Old Man Tong's face was already even more ugly. He said helplessly to Zhen Yinjian:
"Little brother, forget it this time, don't sell me the Chun Dan again, now I want to vomit when I smell this pill. Do you know what the sales volume of our Spring Pill in Ningcheng is in a month?"
"How much?" Zhen Yinjian hadn't thought about this question yet.
"Fifty to seventy grains. Definitely not more than a hundred capsules. The old man squinted his eyes and said.
"But you sold me more than 200 pills at one time, and these two sales are still Chun Dan, I estimate that we won't be able to consume it in Ningcheng for more than half a year. We are a medicine shop, not a monopoly store, and it is impossible to specialize in one pill. Old man Tong continued to cry and said.
What he didn't say was that because there was too much stock of Huanchun Dan, he had already discounted the price of this mortal pill when he sold it. What's more, all the pills he sells in this medicine shop are all first-order pills, and all the pills can't be too much, otherwise the capital turnover will not be effective.
"I see, I'd like to think of something else. Zhen Yinjian understood what the shopkeeper meant and nodded.
"It's not that Xiao Lao'er doesn't want to help you, this is also a spring pill, as a mortal pill, the market is just so big. If you can refine a first-order Huiling Pill, then I will collect as much as you have. As he said this, the old man patted his chest.
Hearing Old Man Tong's words, Zhen Yinjian was thoughtful. He didn't expect that the market for the Mortal Pill was so small, and now it would be a little troublesome to fill the hole of the 900 spirit gold.
This Huiling Pill is worth pondering, although he has not entered the master's sect, but he should be able to obtain the Danfang through the system. Thinking of this, he had a new plan in his heart.
"Then it's decided, I'll refine the Spirit Returning Pill, you have to collect it for me at the market price!"
"Yes, I can still guarantee this little old man. The shopkeeper patted his chest and assured.
He is clever, although the grade of the spirit pill this time is only one order higher than that of the mortal grade, it is an elixir that almost all innate cultivators can use, and it is in great demand. And within this Ning City, the Huiling Pill is even more scarce, and most of the sources are transported from those big cities.
If Zhen Yinjian could refine the Huiling Pill, even if it was a low-grade one, it would be a great financial route for Xingchun Fang, and it would almost be able to monopolize Ningcheng.
"That's it. Zhen Yinjian sold the last batch of Huanchun Dan to the shopkeeper, and then went home. He wanted to think about how many conquest points it would take to exchange this kind of Danfang from the system.
returned to Zhen's house to his own room, closed the door, and instructed his subordinates not to disturb him. Zhen Yinjian's legal knowledge sank into the system in his mind.
Entering the exchange library, facing a dazzling array of magic weapons, bloodlines, array books, exercises and elixirs, Zhen Yinjian was a little distracted for a while.
As soon as his sense of law turned to the "Returning Spirit Pill", a green pill and a scroll of pills appeared in front of his eyes.
"The system is really intimate, and it also has a search function, which is good. ”
Click on this elixir, and it is indeed a "Huiling Pill", and the price is 50 conquest points, which is cheap.
And this volume of cheats is also the refining method of the "Huiling Pill", and the price is 200 conquest points, which is not very much.
Quickly exchanged the Dan Fang of this "Returning Spirit Pill", only to see a roll of white paper appear in his mind, and the method of refining was deeply memorized.
Then Zhen Yinjian withdrew from the Dharma knowledge and began to study the Dan prescription of this volume of "Huiling Pill". This "Rejuvenation Pill" is much more complicated than the previous "Returning Spring Pill". Danfang records that eight kinds of medicinal materials need to be used, although they are not precious, but the blending between medicinal properties and the smelting of medicinal materials are very important. The most important thing is that this "Rejuvenation Pill" actually requires the use of spiritual energy to link the medicinal properties to form a subtle proportion, which is very difficult!
He didn't have this kind of operation when refining the "Returning Spring Pill" of the mortal product, he needed to melt the three medicinal materials, and then control the proportion of the liquid medicine to refine, where did he need to master the skills of medicinal properties.
"Sister, I don't believe it, what kind of bullshit drug hooking skills, I have to smash it out with money. ”
Next, Zhen Yinjian went to the pharmacy to buy a batch of medicinal materials for the "Huiling Pill", and began to refine the pill with a dull head.
Fail.
Fail.
Or failed.
......
After refining seven or eight furnaces of pills in a row, Zhen Yinjian's face turned pale, and he already felt a little bad. Because he felt that no matter how he did alchemy, something was missing, and it seemed that there was indeed an important link in alchemy.
"I can't go any further!" Zhen Yinjian looked at the debris of a room, and his face was a little dark from the smoke.
Walking out of Zhen's mansion, he came to Xingchunfang. Since the shopkeeper Tong knows about the "Huiling Pill", he may know a little bit about this thing.
"Shopkeeper Tong, let me ask you something. Walking into Xingchunfang, Zhen Yinjian found that there were only three guys there, but the old man with a goatee was gone.
"Where's your shopkeeper?" he asked, turning to a fat fellow.
"The shopkeeper is upstairs receiving your guests, you are sitting and waiting. The fat man was greeted by the old man, and looked at him with some respect in his eyes.
He found a table in the corner and sat down, Zhen Yinjian waited while drinking fragrant tea, and after a while, the two of them walked down.
"Old man, let me tell you, the price of the Hui Ling Pill must be increased by fifty percent this time, otherwise you will never want to get a pill from me in the future. ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhen Yinjian looked up and saw a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe with an arrogant Taoist bun walking down from the attic, followed by an old man with a flattering face, isn't it really the shopkeeper Tong.
"Daochang Sun, you have increased the price too hard, we are a small business, and we can't afford such a toss. Why don't you add two percent?" the old man pleaded.
"I want to be beautiful, I said that I will add five achievements and fifty percent, I will bluff you when you are an uncle? I tell you, if you don't agree, I will turn around and go to Pujitang, this time the elixir business, you don't have to make plans in the future." The man sneered, flicked his sleeves, and turned his face away.
"Dao Chief, Dao Chief, you can still discuss, you can discuss!" the shopkeeper Tong begged bitterly, looking quite pitiful.
This old man couldn't say it in his heart, Xingchunfang was the largest medicine shop in Ningcheng, but he took the mid-to-high-end route. What kind of bruises, knife wounds, external diseases and other medicinal materials are not within the business scope of Xingchunfang. To put it simply, mortal medicine is not sold much here. The main ones who make money are by dealing with these innate realm monks and selling some first-order pills to make money.
Among the elixirs of this order, only the "Huiling Pill" is in the greatest demand, which is naturally the most important profit of Xingchunfang. In the past, he had to go to Dacheng several times a year, spend a lot of money to buy a batch of "Huiling Pills", sell them in this Ningcheng, and make a batch of price differences.
But this year, for some reason, he traveled all the medicine numbers in the big city, and since there were not many "Huiling Pills" for sale, he had the opportunity to return empty-handed, but it made him anxious.
What made him feel even more conspiracy was that Pujitang, which had always been in direct competition with Xingchunfang, had recently sold a lot of "Huiling Pills", which was generally said to have changed the shopkeeper and was a person from the big city.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper Tong knew the way of the new shopkeeper of Pujitang. He expected that he would not be able to receive the "Rejuvenation Pill", which must have something to do with the new shopkeeper of this competitor.
Seeing that Pujitang's business was getting better day by day, and his reputation in Ningcheng was about to surpass that of Xingchunfang, he was very anxious in his heart. In desperation, he used his many years of relationships to find this Taoist surnamed Sun, who had a lot of alchemy ability, and wanted to order a batch of "Huiling Pills" with him to solve his urgent needs.
