Chapter 41: The Mysterious Old Man
"Yes, I've just learned alchemy. I wonder if Xiao Di can help me sell it. Tianming continued with Xiao Di's words, he couldn't say that he had just started refining pills the day before yesterday, and he could refine pills today!
Xiao Di looked at the pill again, "Yes, you can sell medicine in my family's pharmacy." But there's not much money to be made from this. Your twenty copies of materials are already one tael of gold, that is to say, one hundred taels of silver. And these three pills will only sell for one hundred and fifty taels, plus our pharmacy will charge one percent of the sales fee, and you will only earn thirty-five taels. Although we are friends. But the fees to be collected in the family still have to be charged. ”
"Isn't it fifteen taels of silver? Brother, you're so stingy!" Xiao Mumu on the side interjected.
Xiao Di was hit by Xiao Mumu's innocence every time, "Is this a matter of fifteen taels of silver? Not to mention fifteen taels of silver, even gold is fine, but this is a family rule, and there will be such things after setting a precedent." ”
"It's nothing Xiao Di, your family is actually quite right to do this. It's not bad if I make thirty-five taels, so you can help me sell it. Then I will exchange all of them for medicinal herbs. I feel like my pill can get better and better. Tianming said indifferently. In fact, for Tianming, it doesn't matter if there is money or not, just enough to spend, but there really wasn't any money on him before. Alchemy requires money to buy medicinal materials. That's why I took the pill and sold it.
Xiao Di saw Tianming like this, and also understood that Tianming might really lack money, but it was not rare. Otherwise, people wouldn't have used all the money to exchange for medicinal herbs. "Okay, then I'll go to the pharmacy and sell them now, and then I'll give you the herbs." By the way. In the future, you will be able to go where to buy medicine and sell pills by yourself. You help me watch my sister first! After saying that, Xiao Di got up and left quickly, he didn't want to be hit by Xiao Mumu again, so he should throw this trouble to Tianming!
Tianming saw that Xiao Di had left his sister here for himself like this. His head suddenly became bigger, who could afford to serve this little ancestor! Sure enough, Xiao Mumu saw Tianming thinking nonsense on the side and asked, "Brother Tianming, what are you thinking?"
"No, I didn't think about anything, that little Mumu, Brother Tianming is going back to cultivate, is it okay for you to play here alone?"
When Xiao Mumu heard that Tianming was leaving, she immediately became anxious, what was the good thing about playing by herself. "No, Brother Tianming, you can't go, or I'll tell my father that you're bullying me. Hmph!"
When Tianming heard this, he immediately sweated profusely, isn't this what you used to threaten your brother? Why did you use it on me?" "That, ha! I think the cultivation matter will be talked about tonight, and Brother Ming will play with you for a while that day!"
"Yes, great, Brother Tianming, when did you start learning alchemy?" Xiao Mumu heard that Tianming promised to accompany him, and happily turned into a curious baby. Started asking questions.
Tianming really thinks that Xiao Mumu listened to too many questions from others when he was a child, causing him to become a hundred thousand whys now. "Xiao Mumu, can we not ask questions?"
"Why didn't you ask?" Xiao Mumu asked with big eyes.
Tianming was embarrassed.
Finally, under the torment of Xiao Mumu's 'why'. Tianming waited for Xiao Di to take the medicinal herbs back. I found an excuse to do alchemy and left in a hurry.
Returning to his guest room, Tianming began his alchemy again. Gradually, the time came back to night. Tianming exchanged one hundred and thirty-five taels of silver for twenty-seven medicinal materials, and practiced six pills, although the success rate had not yet reached thirty percent, but at least it was much higher than his first time. And the quality is also a little better than the previous one. And after refining the Dan, Tianming began his martial arts cultivation.
Ten days passed, and in the fifteen days. Tianming first went to sell pills and then bought thirty copies of medicinal materials during the day, and then chatted with Xiao Di and Xiao Mumu when he was free, and then there was alchemy, and thirty copies of medicinal materials were refined every day. Then came the evening practice. It is worth mentioning that the success rate of Tianming's pills has increased a lot, and ten pills can be completed with thirty medicinal materials, and the quality has also improved a lot. And the price of the sale has also increased from fifty taels at the beginning to eighty taels, and now there are more than thirty taels of gold in the space ring in these five days.
Today, Tianming continued to come to the pharmacy to buy and sell pill medicinal materials. And he came with Xiao Di and Xiao Mumu. I don't know what's going on with the two siblings today, so I insist on coming to the pharmacy with myself and talking about it. made Tianming speechless for a while
"By the way, Xiao Di, why have there been so many more people here in the last two days?" Tianming asked when he noticed that there had been more people in the last two days.
"Oh, yes. Our Xiao family's Feng Shang Chamber of Commerce will hold auctions in various big cities every month. A relatively large auction will be held once a year in several major cities in Yanhua Kingdom. Every three years, a large auction is held in the city where the family is located, and many people go to buy what they want. For example, the royal family of Yanhua Kingdom, several major sects in Yanhua will send people to come. And the auction took place exactly ten days later. We'll be able to take a look then. It's not far from my house!"
To be honest, Tianming really hasn't been to any auctions, and he was very young when he was in the family, so he didn't understand this. When he grew up, he and Huang Lao came to Yang's Mansion again. There was no chance to go to any auction at all. "Well, I really want to check it out. ”
While the three of them were talking, they came to the medicine shop. "Man, this is ten pills, you give me another thirty herbs. Tianming took out the pill from the space ring and said.
The guy saw that his young master and young lady were accompanying this son this time, and he was even more warmly received. "Okay, Childe, wait a minute. "As he spoke, he was going to take the pills and sell them, because selling the pills in the pharmacy was a piece of wheat that could get money. Then the pharmacy sold the pills by itself to recoup the funds on its own. So the guy doesn't use the pill to register who sells it. So the guy put the pill in a place that sold healing pills. And at this moment, an old man walked to the place where the guy had just put down the pill and picked it up. After looking at it carefully, the other guy saw the old man looking at the pill and immediately came over to entertain him, "This guest officer, do you want to buy healing medicine?"
The old man looked at the guy and smiled, "I don't sell pills, I'm looking for people who sell pills." As he spoke, he walked in front of Tianming, "This little brother, this is the elixir you refined, right?"
Tianming saw an old man holding an elixir in front of him and asked himself, took the elixir and looked at it, "Old man, this is the elixir I refined, is there any problem?"
The old man heard Tianming's answer, "No problem, I just want to say, little brother, you have just started alchemy, right?" the old man said with a smile on his face.
At this time, Tianming was surprised, and it could be seen from his own pill that he had just been refining the pill for a short time. You must know that after these fifteen days of alchemy experience, the quality of Tianming's elixir has already improved. You can't see anything from a qualitative point of view. It seems that this old man is an alchemist, and his level is not low. "Yes, don't hide it from the old man, the kid has just been able to refine the pill for a short time. ”
"I'm not talking about alchemy, but you're not going to start alchemy. The old man saw that Tianming had misunderstood what he meant, so he said again.
Tianming was surprised again when he heard the old man's words, not only surprised. It can be said that it was shocking. Tianming knew what the old man meant when he said the latter sentence. In other words, the old man saw that Tianming had just started to learn alchemy, but he had refined the pill. This can't help but shock Tianming.
