The person who spoke was the owner of a shop selling magical potions and various alchemical materials, and his name was Ricky. Because Ricky often goes to the Night Song Tavern for a drink after it closes, he is very familiar with Xu Yue, who often goes there.

In Tarumia, alchemy, as a magical discipline, is closely associated with magicians.

Alchemy's magic potions and magical items are sought after by spell-casting professions and adventurers, so there are many magicians who study this sub-discipline of magic.

The main output of the alchemy industry is magic potions. As a mercenary who licks blood on the edge of the knife, he is very welcome to all kinds of magic potions that can increase his strength, and generally mercenaries who enter the deep forest of Night Song will buy some potions to defend themselves.

Ricky's shop pù Xu Yue didn't come much, firstly because he had no money to buy anything, and secondly, he didn't have anything to sell to Ricky. This time he came to find what Ricky called a magician.

Oward had promised Xu Yue a chance to learn magic, and this opportunity was that with the means that Oward had left him, he could buy magic books from any branch of the Magic Guild or from magicians who had registered with the Magic Guild.

Because of the heavy snow blocking the road, it was impossible to go to the magic powder guild in the nearest city for a short time, so he could only try to find the magician who was stranded in Komodo Town because of the heavy snow.

He had been keeping an eye on the people in the town before, but there were few mercenaries and adventurers who came here to do tasks this season, and mages were even more rare as a rare spell-casting class.

So after more than ten days of waiting, there has been no news, so he has almost lost hope for it.

But it just so happened that when you gave up hope, a sudden turn for the better appeared in front of your eyes. There was a magician who came to buy something from Pù, the only alchemy shop in the town.

Xu Yue judged that this magician had probably been doing tasks with others in the Night Song Forest before, and he had just returned today. Otherwise, it would not be possible to come to Komodo from out of town when such roads are impassable.

After thinking for a while, Xu Yue walked directly into the alchemy shop.

This is a hut of about 20 square meters, and the walls are rows of wooden shelves, and the bottles containing various liquids are carefully placed in the special card slots of the shelves to ensure that these bottles will not fall off due to shaking. Two steps further on the shelves is a long counter, where a middle-aged man with a ruddy face is talking to a man in a hooded robe.

This middle-aged man with a ruddy face is the owner of the shop, named Ricky Burt. At this time, he was helplessly scratching the half-bald Mediterranean type with his hand, and his fat face was full of helpless expressions with a little plateau red.

"Can't you think of a way? If I order from you, I can always pay twenty percent more. The guest in the hooded robe said with some eagerness.

Ricky smiled wryly and said, "I'm sorry for the guest! I had to go to the shop in the city to buy the goods, because the damn weather made it impossible for all cars to get through. And your request is to ask for the goods within two days, which is simply not possible!"

Hearing this, the other party was obviously disappointed, and after seeing this situation, Ricky kindly said, "I think you can go to the tavern in the town and go to the task of buying pure containers." There are also a few scattered mercenaries doing tasks here during this time, and if you give a high enough price, I think there is a chance that someone will be willing to make a trip to the city specifically for this. However, it is still impossible to make a round trip in two days. It's unlikely that someone will take on this task, but it's still a way to do it. ”

After listening to Ricky's words, the man in the hooded robe could only nod helplessly, and when he turned to leave, when he saw Xu Yue who had just come in, a look of surprise flashed on his face, obviously feeling a little surprised to see the Chathner here. However, he soon stopped paying attention to this, and instead walked towards the Nightsong Tavern with a troubled look on his face.

"Hey, Ricky, how's business?"

Xu Yue didn't rush to chase the magician, but said hello to Ricky.

Ricky laughed when he saw him, then shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "Don't mention it, look at the streets of Komodo Town this season, there are only so many scattered mercenaries, not as many as there are people in Kate's Tavern." The alchemy potion simply won't sell a few bottles. I finally came across a big business, but I didn't have any goods here. ”

"Well, that was a magician just now, what did he want? Although your shop is not as good as the big shops in the city, but it is also complete, is the thing he bought very out of the way?" Xu Yue asked casually.

Ricky shook his head helplessly and said, "It's not a magician, judging by his robe, he should be a high-level magic apprentice." What he wants is a pure container with a purity of about seven scales, if I have a few below three scales, I can't get one of the seven scales this year, and the only one was bought just a month ago. ”

"Oh, pure containers, is that kind of thing rare?" asked Xu Yue with a seemingly curious curiosity.

At this time, he was thinking about how to extract some information from Ricky about the magic apprentice he had just left, so that he could prepare for the next contact.

"Of course, ordinary low-scale pure containers are not rare! But high-scale pure containers are treasures! Let me tell you, this pure container is ......."

Anyone who knows Ricky knows that his dream when he was young was to become an alchemist, and although it turned out that he really didn't have the talent to become a mercenary, his love for alchemy has never diminished.

After more than 20 years as a mercenary, Ricky's strength has not increased much, but he has learned a lot of alchemy knowledge. Now that he is older, he has opened a shop in Komodo that sells alchemy items.

Usually, whenever someone talks to him about alchemy items, he will immediately turn into a chatter and talk endlessly about alchemy. Although he practiced a bottle of the most basic magic potion by himself, he couldn't make it.

Seeing that Ricky couldn't stop talking about alchemy, Xu Yue couldn't help but secretly make a mistake, just thinking about how to get rid of that magic apprentice, he forgot about this guy as soon as he talked about alchemy.

But since he started talking, he was too embarrassed to leave immediately, so he could only deal with it without saying a word. But listening to him, his attention gradually focused, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

According to Ricky's description, the nature of Tarumia often produces materials containing certain elements of relatively high purity due to special environments, such as the magic cores in the body of fire-based demonic beasts, which are almost all composed of high-purity fire elements.

Two leaves of a species called Crystal Grass in the Nightsong Forest contain a drop of water containing a high-purity water element.

These materials are generally in very dangerous places, so it is difficult to collect them, but it is even more difficult to preserve them after collection.

For example, if a material containing a high purity water element is used in the container material itself that contains other magical elements above a certain limit, it will contaminate the water elemental material.

The light one will reduce the purity of the water element that hits the container, making the alchemy effect and value greatly reduced. If you are strict, you will directly make this water element material completely scrapped.

However, the concentration of magical elements in the world of Taramia itself is very high, and all kinds of elements are almost everywhere, and they have penetrated into every substance in this world, and it is almost impossible to find a substance that does not contain any magical elements to make a container of absolute purity.

In fact, alchemy was not so widely used in Talamia in the early days of its birth, and the reason for this was that the high-purity magical materials could not be well preserved after they were collected, which greatly reduced the success rate and effect of alchemy.

At that time, the potion that was refined could only cure some minor problems of headache and brain fever, let alone be used to heal injuries and increase combat effectiveness.

This situation did not change completely until an alchemist discovered a mineral called the Forbidden Magic Stone.

The Forbidden Stone has a dispel property that allows it to dispel a certain range of magical elements depending on its qualities.

This dispel is not a complete dispel, but rather a decrease in the concentration of all types of magical elements in a certain area. The higher the quality of the forbidden stone, the stronger the dispel ability and the greater the range of influence.

The alchemist named Darvels Portman first tried to use this forbidden magic stone to make a container for alchemical materials, but in the end, although the forbidden magic stone itself did not contain magical elements, it also dispersed the magical elements contained in the magic materials itself, and the materials became waste.

Darvels then changed his strategy, using the low-concentration area formed by the Forbidden Stone to place some of the already made containers, and the mixed magical elements contained in these containers would slowly escape in the area of this low-concentration magical element, and finally approach the average concentration of magic in this area.

However, the disadvantage of this method is that it is too time-consuming, according to Davels's calculations, a container made in a normal environment depends on the material, in a forbidden area with a concentration of 50% magic elements, it takes one to two years to reduce the concentration of magic elements to 90% of the original level, it takes three to five years to reduce it to 80% of the original level, it takes 8 to ten years to reduce 70% to 70%, and it takes 60% or even at least 20 years, which is insanely inefficient.

After repeated experiments, if Darvels can activate the elements contained in the materials contained in the materials used to make the containers and form them in the forbidden area, then these materials will quickly dissipate a large number of magical elements in the process of molding, which is hundreds or even thousands of times faster than the dispersion of the finished containers directly placed in the finished container. Moreover, the lower the concentration of magic elements in the forbidden area, the faster this degree will be.

After a great deal of experimentation, Darvels now has the purest vessel made of glass, which is the purest in equal conditions, and the slowest to be infected by external elements after leaving the forbidden area.

When he made his present unveiled to the world, it caused a sensation. And he himself was immediately enshrined on the altar. He named the vessel he had made in this way the 'Pure Container', and established ten levels according to the amount of magical elements contained in the container. Level 1 has the lowest purity, and Level 10 has the highest purity.

It was the advent of the Pure Vessel that changed the entire history of alchemy.

After ensuring the purity of the materials, alchemy developed rapidly, and the alchemists achieved one result after another, constantly making alchemy more and more important in Talamia 6, until today it has been completely integrated into people's lives and occupies a pivotal position.

Later, with the exhibition of alchemy, some alchemists learned a magic array that could increase the forbidden magic stone, and this magic array could nearly double the effect of the forbidden magic stone.

But even so, the forbidden magic stone is too rare, and the annual output of this magical ore is not enough to build a table even if the whole large 6 combined.

Moreover, once the forbidden magic stone leaves the environment where it was born, the effect of the forbidden magic will gradually decrease, and even the best quality forbidden magic stone can only be used for thirty years before it becomes a waste product. Therefore, this thing is basically a strategic resource of various countries and big forces, and ordinary people simply cannot get it.

If it weren't for the fact that as long as the environment of the birthplace of the forbidden magic stone is not destroyed, a new forbidden magic stone will be formed in a few decades, it is estimated that there will be no forbidden magic stone in Taramia now.

"You know, pure containers below three scales are still relatively common, and pure containers with three to six scales are very rare, and the price is relatively high. Pure containers with a scale of more than seven are specially designed to contain high-value alchemy materials. The price of the pure container itself alone is high. Ricky had already been aroused by this time, and his face was full of red.

Xu Yuesen even wondered if the two plateau red-like complexions on his face were formed in this way, after all, this was not a high-altitude area.

"So that magician just now showed a very precious alchemy material, but he didn't prepare a pure container that could hold the material?"

Ricky nodded with a little jealousy and emphasized, "Not a magician! Obviously, he has always been obsessed with his lack of qualifications as a magician, so he has a feeling of envy, jealousy, and hatred when he sees a magician.

But soon he put this feeling aside, and said with a little sigh: "It's a pity that I don't know if this magic apprentice was lucky or unlucky, and he actually found a lava flower." If the sap is not collected and stored within three days after the lava flower is collected, both its medicinal effect and the elements contained in it will escape, and now a day has passed. Containers below the six-scale scale do not guarantee the purity of this grade of material at all, but I have sold the only pure container with a seven-scale scale before. ”

Xu Yue listened and nodded, this magic apprentice's luck was really enough, he was lucky enough to find a rare item of great value, but in the blink of an eye, he had to watch this item become a worthless waste.

It's like giving you a huge sum of money, but in the end, it comes with a debt of the same value, and in the end, it's just a pain of rejoicing after paying off the debt.

"By the way, Ricky! How is the scale of the pure container measured, do you have to go to a specialized institution to measure it?" Xu Yue asked seemingly casually. In fact, the hands hidden under the counter were almost sweating at this time.

"Haha, it's not that much trouble. Alchemy exhibitions have become very convenient today. Just one test crystal can be measured. And the thing itself is very cheap, so the mercenaries are all one for each person. This prevents them from buying fakes. Ricky said as he pulled out a white crystal the size of his thumb.

He demonstrated it himself, only to see him gently touch the test crystal to an empty glass bottle placed on the shelf, and suddenly a green pillar of light appeared in the crystal and continued to spread to one end. There were ten scales on the crystal, and the green pillar of light walked to the third scale and stopped.

"This shows that this pure container for me is a three-scale one. The higher the scale, the fewer magical elements in the container, the purer it is, and of course the higher the value. ”

"However, there are relatively few pure containers of the seven-scale, and the eight-scale ones are generally only used by some large mercenary groups or people or forces at the level of sixth-level magicians. The nine-scale is not available on the market at all, and is generally occasionally used as an auction item at some auctions. The ten-scale ones are generally used by the ninth-level powerhouses or the royal family to preserve the materials of high-level strange objects, and they are not circulated in the market at all. Once each ten-scale pure container is made out, it will be immediately snapped up by the top powerhouses. ”

Xu Yue kept listening to Ricky's gushing speech with a smile on her face, without the slightest impatience.

There is such a good listener Ricky said very happily, in the end, when Xu Yue said that he wanted to buy a test crystal to go back to play, Ricky directly gave him one, and invited him to visit his alchemy collection at home next time.

After saying goodbye to Ricky, Xu Yue walked around casually as usual and returned to his house. As soon as he closed the door, his expression immediately changed, and after opening the space door with a somewhat eager expression in his nervousness, he walked quickly through the space door.

He knew that there might be a big business opportunity in front of him, and now he had to verify whether his idea was correct.
