Chapter 35: The Capital of Herbs (Fourth Update)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Alchemy actually requires not only talent, but also luck.
However, whether it was talent or luck, in front of the tenth-order elixir, it became a little ethereal.
With the wealth of the Divine Medicine Sect and the control of the world's elixirs, there is often only one success in the refining of tenth-order pills, and when the luck is bad, there may not be one success in ten times.
The medicinal materials needed for the tenth-order elixir are all the rarest in the world.
The cost of just a furnace of elixir is as high as millions of gold, and the Divine Medicine Sect is rich and rivals, but it can't withstand such consumption.
The tenth power is a success, which means that the cost of the tenth-order elixir has reached tens of millions of gold, a jaw-dropping number.
This kind of tenth-order elixir refined under the cost has naturally become a heavy treasure, and it is rare for everyone in the world to see it.
It is so difficult to refine, naturally, the efficacy and effect of the tenth-order elixir have reached an unpredictable level, any one, as long as it wields its effect, it can completely turn magic into decay, and it can also turn decay into magic, turning clouds and rain, almost omnipotent.
With such a high cost, the Divine Medicine Sect could not afford it, let alone other alchemy families.
The refining of the Divine Medicine Sect's tenth-order elixir will only be started once a year.
It's not a matter of money, but some of the elixirs involved are peerless and rare, not like the white radishes on the street, how many or how many are there.
Therefore, seeking to break through some bottlenecks on the tenth-order elixir naturally became the top priority of the Divine Medicine Sect.
It's a pity that for more than thousands of years, the tenth-order pill is still a bottleneck that cannot be solved, consuming countless character power, and it is still in vain. How many genius alchemists of the Divine Medicine Sect who were outstanding for a while also hated this.
The tenth-order elixir is so difficult to refine and insecure, which also leads to the fact that since alchemists have truly become a profession, no tenth-order alchemists have been born.
The ninth-order alchemist is currently the pinnacle that alchemists can reach.
"Well, at any slightest, let's not give up lightly. Xiao Yiheng nodded, since the sect master was for Zhou Li's unpredictable alchemy ability, he naturally wanted to put Zhou Li in a platform position
It is said that Zhou Li has arrived in the Divine Medicine City for two days, and it is said that he should have been invited a long time ago, but in the past two days, the Divine Medicine Sect has not contacted Zhou Li, the main reason may be that the sect master can't make up his mind, and it is only today that he has made up his mind
Sending Pei Mang, a cultivation genius of the Divine Medicine Sect, shows the importance that the Divine Medicine Sect attaches to Zhou Li.
Although Pei Mang said that he was a cultivation genius, he was not a dull person, he stroked his beard and smiled, and said, "The sect master naturally has his considerations. This time, we also need to examine whether this Zhou Li really has this kind of divine and ghost ability. Otherwise, if you are rashly invited, if it is just a straw bag relying on luck, won't the Divine Medicine Sect be laughed at by the world?"
Xiao Yiheng laughed a little, if it was just luck, he could pass five levels and kill six generals, this person Xiao Yiheng definitely suspected that he was the illegitimate son of God.
Especially in the final perfection, Gu Ran has the element of luck, but more of it is strength.
But it's okay, after all, it's a game in Guangping City, and Elder Yiying of the Divine Medicine Sect hasn't been able to see it with his own eyes, so it's normal to have some worries.
Pei Mang said: "The day after tomorrow is the day of the competition, in this level, whether he can pass guò and whether he can maintain a high level in alchemy is the key to whether he can meet the old man of the sect master." I hope this is a true divine talent, after all, the tenth-order elixir has been bothering us for too long. ”
Xiao Yiheng nodded and said, "Okay, second brother, you haven't been to the Divine Medicine City for many years, please come here."
"Haha, the Divine Medicine City has the operation of the eldest brother, and it is naturally thriving. Pei Mang smiled slightly, and followed Xiao Yiheng into the lobby.
The Divine Medicine City is worthy of being known as the capital of alchemy, the person of herbs, and the holy place in the minds of alchemists.
Along with it, there are endless herbs in the Divine Medicine City, and you can see all kinds of herb shops and pill pharmacies everywhere in the streets and alleys here. Even on the side of the street, you can sometimes see some vendors selling herbs and pills, and some stalls are full of herbs.
As far as you can see on the streets, the alchemists account for the majority, followed by the warriors.
As long as they have a large number of alchemists, for herb merchants, this is where their business opportunities lie.
After a while, some alchemists can be seen stopping at some stalls and looking through the herbs. Leave disappointed, or spend a small amount of money to buy herbs that are useful to you.
For more than a thousand years since the founding of the city, alchemy has long been deeply rooted in the bones of the residents of the Divine Medicine City, and the understanding of herbal medicine is no worse than that of an alchemist, and it is almost impossible to pick up something missing. Occasionally, someone succeeds in picking up the leak, after all, it is only a matter of small probability.
Although the herbs of the stalls or vendors are just ordinary herbs, they are better than their herbs, they are all purchased directly from the site, and they will be sent back to the Divine Medicine City for purchase as soon as possible, and in terms of freshness, they are slightly stronger than some herb merchants.
Cun zài has its own way of survival, and the hawkers naturally do not need to worry about life.
And along with it, there are alchemy houses everywhere on both sides of the street.
Ordinary alchemists, their financial resources, do not have the ability to buy alchemy furnaces, so they can only spend a small amount of money to rent alchemy furnaces in these alchemy houses.
With a huge base of alchemists, everyone aspires to become an alchemist.
Under such a premise, the business opportunities in this naturally led to the emergence of a forest of alchemy rooms.
Walking on the streets of the Divine Medicine City, the biggest feeling for Zhou Li is the ubiquitous medicinal fragrance, different types of medicinal fragrance.
"It is said that the lifespan of the residents living in the Divine Medicine City is twenty or thirty years higher than that of other cities, and it should be the effect of the ubiquitous medicinal incense here. Zhou Li smiled lightly, now he finally knew why the Divine Medicine City could have more than 30 million people, overpowering Guangping City by several levels.
Who doesn't want to live a little longer? Twenty or thirty years of life expectancy is poor, as long as there is some ability, they will come to the Divine Medicine City to take root.
Especially the martial artists, cultivating here, with the help of these medicinal incense, it will not have any effect in one or two years, but it can't be added to the accumulation of tens or hundreds of years, and the help in it has become extremely considerable.
The night of the Divine Medicine City is extremely active.
The warriors who went out returned one after another, carrying with them a large number of materials, and more herbs and elixirs.
And some medicine farmers, a day's harvest, naturally need to use the fastest degree to sell the herbs and turn them into gold coins. After all, herbs are only when they are the freshest, and the medicinal effect is not lost, and they are the most valuable.
This leads to the most active time of the herbal trade, which is naturally from evening to early morning.
The Divine Medicine City during the day is already noisy enough, but compared to now, it is only a small thing. One by one, the alchemists all left the alchemy room and appeared on the streets, buying the herbs they needed tomorrow from the vendors.
Zhou Li walked on this street with his hands in his hand, and the prosperity here is still above Guangping City, and its status is not as good as that of Divine Medicine City, which has become inevitable.
In fact, low-level herbs can be bought in vendors or herb shops, but high-grade herbs generally have a special channel, which is the herb auction house.
Even the most idiotic medicine farmer knows that once he collects high-grade herbs, he must send them to the herb auction house, because only in these places will he be able to afford to sell them. Sometimes, with good luck, it's not surprising that the price will be several times the market.
"Tianhe Herb Auction House?"
Zhou Li stopped, glanced at this huge signboard, and walked in.
The scale of an auction house is such that it can be seen from the signboard. Like the signboard of this Tianhe Herbal Auction House, the font on it is almost composed of spars, which shines in the dark night, and the cost of creating this signboard is not low, it is a symbol of strength.
Sure enough, there was so much traffic here, and countless alchemists crowded here, waiting to enter.
To enter the market, you need to pay a certain deposit, which is not gold, only ten gold.
But this is not much ten gold, but Zhou Li thinks that for many alchemists, ten gold is far from what they can afford.
The threshold of ten gold has also turned away many alchemists who are not strong, after all, alchemists who can't even get ten gold are generally alchemists of low level, and they will not be the main force of consumption when they come in, so it is better to turn them away and let more alchemists with spending power enter the market.
Zhou Li just smiled lightly, it seems that in life, every line and door has their doorway.
When he came out this time, Zhou Li was naturally looking for the herbs he needed.
There are still three portions of the Berserk Dan, which is enough to handle the game.
It was only after he really arrived at the Divine Medicine City, facing countless geniuses, that Zhou Li knew that the eighth-order pill was sometimes not necessarily insured. In the past, there were also some eye-popping incidents, such as the seventh-order alchemist who reversed his luck and refined the ninth-order pill.
After all, this competition in the Divine Medicine City gathered all the genius alchemists of the Great Chu Dynasty, and there were thousands.
"Why is it so difficult to get a few meridian pills?"
Zhou Li was also entangled, the special medicinal effect of the Meridian Pill made it even though it was only an eighth-order pill, but it was a rare Cheng dù, and it was above the ninth-order. In the market, you can only know its name, and it is impossible to see it in circulation.
Among the Divine Medicine Sect, the order for the Meridian Pill has been queued for I don't know how many years later.
The major power families and so on, ignoring the expensive price of the meridian pill, rushed up and submitted orders in a swarm.
With the output of the meridian pill, I am afraid that these orders have already been lined up for decades.
If it weren't for the difficulty of obtaining the medicinal materials of the Meridian Pill, Zhou Li naturally didn't need to run to the competition like this, and he could refine it himself.
Walked to the registration form of the auction house, took out the alchemist's badge, and put it in front of the registered guy.
"Sizzle"
This guy didn't pay attention at first, after all, the eighth-order alchemist also came to this auction house from time to time to buy herbs, so there was nothing to make a fuss about. But when he saw Zhou Li's young face, he gasped suddenly, and he almost jumped up, attracting the eyes of others.
