"Cost?"

Looking at Duan Yun thoughtfully, Feng Wuregret smiled and said, "Silly boy, don't forget that there is a cost to any transaction, and the medicinal herb industry is naturally no exception." ”

"The cost I am talking about does not only refer to the cost of raw materials, but also includes the time cost of refining medicine, the cost of energy consumed, and the cost of storing pills. The cost of the top-grade pill in all aspects is much higher than that of the middle-grade pill and the low-grade pill. ”

"Not only that, although the medicinal materials industry is very popular, the demand is also amazing, but there are many people engaged in this industry, and the competition is also very fierce, so that the profits of the medicinal materials industry have been squeezed very little in the vicious competition. ”

"Don't look at our Feng family, it is the largest alchemy family in the royal capital, and it occupies the largest share in the medicinal material market, but it still can't monopolize the medicinal material market, there are many competitors, so the family still needs to rely on depressing profits to confront competitors many times. ”

"I still don't quite understand?" Duan Yun interjected in confusion: "Since the family is the best alchemy family in the royal capital, then the pills we refine must be the best in terms of grade and quality, and the family can start with the grade and quality of the pills, so why rely on compressing profit margins to confront the opponent." ”

"I see what you mean. Feng Wu regretted quickly replied:

"On the surface, this is indeed the case, the high-grade pill can not only be sold at a high price, but also avoid peer competition, but after you really enter the industry, you will find that in fact, the top-grade pill is not easy to make money. ”

"The medicinal materials used to refine the high-grade pills are usually some rare medicinal materials that are very difficult to find, and their prices are ridiculously high. ”

"To give you an example, under normal circumstances, only when the quality of the high-grade pill reaches high quality or excellent, can it be guaranteed to make money, and most of the ordinary quality pills can only earn back the cost, and sometimes they may also lose money. ”

"However, how difficult it is to refine a top-grade elixir, who can guarantee that a high-quality or excellent quality elixir can be refined every time. ”

"It is estimated that you already know that the refining process of the top-grade pill needs to be mixed with the elements of heaven and earth, and moreover, different pills also need different elements of heaven and earth, and many times, there is more than one element of heaven and earth required for the top-grade pill, and this is when the problem comes. ”

"The elements that alchemists can control are specific, and most of them can only control one element of heaven and earth, which makes alchemists can only refine pills with specific attributes, and if they want to refine pills that require multiple elemental attributes, they must cooperate with multiple alchemists to complete it, so that not only the cost has been greatly increased, but also the quality of their pills is not easy to guarantee. ”

Speaking of this, Feng Wuji couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "Our Feng family, even if it is the master of the family with the best refining technique, Feng Wuji, has reached the level of a ninth-level alchemist, when refining a high-grade pill, he doesn't dare to guarantee success every time, let alone guarantee the quality of the pill." ”

"Therefore, even if the family has many high-level alchemists, the family may not be able to make money on the high-grade pills, on average, the family can earn more than 30 million branded gold a year, which is considered a very good income. ”

After Feng Wuregret's explanation, Duan Yun nodded in understanding, he finally understood that there was still so much knowledge in the original alchemy class, and at this time, he once again realized how huge the advantage of his wraith talent in refining medicine was, improving the quality, refining pills indiscriminately, if he could reach the level of a senior alchemist one day, then it would definitely be the pinnacle of the alchemy world.

After that, Feng Wuregret stayed and decided to take Duan Yun back to the family the next day to ask for guilt, but Feng Wuregret told Duan Yun that since the family had paid such a big price to protect him, then he would definitely not be punished too severely, so that he didn't have to worry.

Hearing that Duan Yun was going back to the family the next day, Feng Ruolan also insisted on going back, no matter how Feng Wuregret persuaded her, she didn't listen, she was willing to return to the academy only when she saw that Duan Yun was completely fine, Feng Wuregret was stubborn in the end, and had to agree.

Duan Yun talked to Feng Wuregret very late, he mainly asked for advice on the skills of alchemy, and he gained a lot, and he had a certain degree of comprehension in all aspects of alchemy, although it was not enough for him to directly refine the high-grade pill, but at least it could save him a lot of detours, and saved a lot of time for the cultivation of alchemy.

Three days later, in the Feng Family Council Hall, Duan Yun stood in the center of the hall with his hands down, stating the reason why he was overdue for so long in the Misty Wonderland. On either side of him, there were already the elders of the Feng family.

Duan Yun then went on to fight the Flame Golem on the day he made up a story that sounded very reasonable, that is, after being chased by the Flame Golem for a long time, he suddenly found a huge pond, and as a result, a huge monster suddenly appeared from the pond, and then the monster swallowed the Flame Golem directly in one bite, and he himself escaped because of his timely reaction.

When talking about why it took him so long to get out of the misty fairyland, Duan Yun gave a very simple, but sounding very reasonable reason - getting lost.

He explained that because the misty fairyland was full of dense fog and the visual range was less than ten meters, he lost his sense of direction after escaping the chase of the fairyland monsters.

The misty fairyland is very large, the road is muddy, coupled with the fog, it is difficult to find the way back, and he has to always be careful of those fairyland creatures that may attack at any time, so his speed of finding the way has become slower, so it took nearly seven months to find it back.

When asked about the huge amount of wealth and Xiao Xue's control of Feng Mu, Duan Yun insisted that the property was an accident, Xiao Xue was an ordinary fire fox, and controlling his mind was even more nonsense.

The Feng family didn't seem to want to dwell on the truth of Duan Yun's words, but the head of the family and several elders pretended to reprimand them, and after deducting a year's salary, they hastily ended it.

The Feng family's attitude towards himself greatly surprised Duan Yun, to know that the loss he caused to the Feng family was 13.5 million branded gold, and his current annual salary was only more than 1,000 branded gold, the difference between the two was 10,000 times, no matter how rich the Feng family was, no matter how much the Feng family's high-level leaders attached importance to themselves, such an understatement of treatment, even he felt a little too much to say.

But then he received a message from Yuan Bo, who told him that not long after he came in, the Feng family patriarch had opened the slave seal, and through the slave seal, they could easily distinguish between what Duan Yun said was true and false.

Fortunately, through this period of cracking, the slave seal has lost the ability to judge the truth of Duan Yun's words and deeds, as long as he wants, he can control the information sent back by the slave seal at will,

Even if Duan Yun lied, the Feng family would listen to it seriously.

Soon, the elders of the Feng family had shifted the conversation to another matter.

I saw that the Great Elder Feng had a melodious attitude and said very gently: "During the time that the granddaughter of the Seventh Elder, Feng Ruolan was in the academy, her family illness has been greatly improved, according to Lan'er, the improvement of her condition has a lot to do with you, I don't know what kind of magic method you used, can you alleviate the pain for other members of the family." ”

Duan Yun understood that the reason why the Feng family would spend a huge price to protect themselves was probably the most important reason.

Duan Yun complained a little bit about Feng Ruolan in his heart, because he had told her more than once not to mention this matter to her family for the time being, but after thinking about it, she was relieved, how could she hide the huge changes brought about by Feng Ruolan's obvious improvement in condition, and Feng Ruolan was still a child after all, and no matter how strict her mouth was, she couldn't be strict.
